FOTA Upgrade bootloop

Hi, I think i bricked my P970... ;(
I was on V10a with CWM installed. I tried to update my phone to V10b via FOTA in the main menu. Phone downloaded firmware update (approx. 7MB) and rebooted into CWM recovery. It stuck there. Tried to reboot, wipe data, but it still loops into CWM recovery.
Finally i tried emergency restore via LG Update. Whole update process looked fine until reboot.
After that I'm stuck on grey screen saying Firmware Update, After firmware update phone will reboot, blah blah blah, with empty progress bar. Nothing happens... Sometimes there's blue screen (kernel panic?).
Is there any chance to revive this phone? Please help...

Go to the P970 Firmwares Flashing thread and read it with calm. Use method 1 tutorial to flash a newer version, from 10B (the ota update) to 11B.
Good luck.

I'm trying this right now. Will post if it succeeded.

Tried V11B, reboot, grey screen "Firmware Update" and then blue screen with green writings. I think I'm totally screwed up... ;(
EDIT: Sorry for double-posting...

:S I just did it 5 minutes ago with 11B because I bricked mine, and eventually succeeded. It must have broken really hard... You'll have to visit LG center I guess...
Sorry

I was upgrading from V10a Orange PL to V10b Orange PL (with fixed root exploit).
After I bricked it, I was trying with KDZ FW UPD with every version: Orange V10a, V10b, V10b EUR Open, V10c, V11b and there's always this grey screen saying "Internal firmware upgrade. Phone will restart after firmware upgrade (from Polish) with empty progress bar with flashing buttons? Don't know what to do...

I've never seen that screen. It has to do with the FOTA, which I think you should have never done if you were rooted. I'm sorry, but it looks like you will have to deliver it to the store if anyone else can help you.

Yes it's my stupid mistake, i was updating via FOTA with rooted phone.
It's too bad that OB doesn't have key combination for recovery. I think there's nothing else but trying to return it to my operator. I hope they'll fix it on the warranty...

Hey man have you tried to take the battery off sd card off everything off and connected the phone to pc via usb thile pressing vol up button? It should appear S/W Upgrading screen.

Yes I did. I'm always flashing with method 1 (UncleCacker's), without battery, SD card and SIM. I also tried emergency restore via LG Updater but nothing helps.
EDIT:
I gave up... Phone is at my local store now, waiting for warranty repair...
EDIT2:
Phone was repaired at LG repair center. They replaced motherboard from AORPTL (Orange PL) with simlock to APOLTL (Open Europe Poland) without simlock so i have luck.
Received my phone in the end of August.

Stuck in boot

My LG Optimus 2X from windmobile is stuck in boot screen. I recently rooted my phone which worked perfectly fine than I installed CWM ext which messed things up, phone was hard resetting every time it started up. So I went to the market place and installed CWM and installed recovery from within the app and decided to install [ROM] MIUI v4 2.7.20 [Multilang][New base] [25/07/2012] through the CWM app. It loads up in recovery FINALLY and I installed it. After reboot its just stuck on LG boot screen I cant go into recovery mode either it just reboots and gets stuck at boot screen. is there anything that i can do to recover the phone?

hey so NVFlash did work but now i am getting no signal, I went to settings> About phones > baseband: unknown. So I decided to use smart flash and flash the "LG_P990_1035_21_2011-06-22", it just wouldn't flash it loads up to 50% than i get timed out error. Is there anyway to fix this issue.
Thanks.

[Q] Semi-bricked / Smartflash tool not working

Hi
I'm helping out a friend, which O2X I have rooted and flashed WIUI on to (I previously owned one myself too)
For some reason the phone started to get hot after a while and used up the battery fast, until one day where he couldn't even turn it on again.
Now, he has been trying to fix it himself with NVflash, but no luck, so now its up to me and you guys.
I have used the smartflash tool and flashed the EURO OPEN stock ROM and everything went succesfull, but when the phone reboots, the LG logo appears, and it bootloops.
I tried both with battery and no battery in, but still no cigar.
Any suggestions what I should try next?
PS: If I try to turn on the phone normally, nothing happens. not even a blink from the screen, but I can get into S/W mode and APX

EDIT: The software says the update is not compatible (dunno if translation is correct, but you get the point)
Update is aborted :/

No more suggestions on what to do?
Tried:
NVflash
Smartflash (Flashed EURO OPEN rom)
LG Update tool (recover function)
The phone still won't boot.

Smartflash is the only solution like you said that the phone can boot in s/w mode try to dig some answer in smartflash thread or search in google i know you can find some answer there

Assuming you have carried out the procedures correctly, looks like this device is actually defective. Probably not what you want to hear, I know, but...
Before giving up completely, you can NVFlash it again (using the original 10C NVFlash from Modaco) and post the log here. Wouldn't get my hopes up though.

gt-i9000 won´t reboot properly

Hi there,
first of all, sorry for my english, i´m from germany but i´m trying my best and i hope you undersand my problem.
A friend of mine gave me a gt-i9000 because the phone wouldn´t turn on or get into recovery mode or download mode ( he also got it from a friend ).
I have no idea what happend to the phone.
With my usb-jig i was able to get it into download mode.
I downloaded Heimdall suite 1.3.0 (i only have a mac), a androit 2.3.6 package form this forum (XWJVZ) and tried to flash the phone.
First Heimdall could not detect the phone so i went to friend who had odin on his pc. Odin could detect it and we flashed the phone, but when the logo came up it freezed.
Back home i tried it again with Heimdall and finally it could detect the phone and so i was able to flash it again.
The strange thing is that it looked like it freezed but after 20 min. of showing me the galaxy s logo, the phone settings showed up.
Unfortunately the touchscreen isn´t working so i can´t set up anything. After a couple of minutes it says that the system is not reacting and the phone shouts down and reboots again (and the same thing is happening all over again).
Does anyone know what i can still try?
please help me

Try to reflash using Odin.. Maybe expertise out there have any clue.

Rooted Note 1 in bootloop after update

Hi everyone. I have a rooted Galaxy Note 1. I accidentally tried to update something (the phone said there was an Android update or something) and now my phone in stuck in a bootloop showing the Android logo. When I try to reset it (volume+home+power buttons) it goes to an Odin "Downloading..." screen and gets stuck on that.
I've seen some stuff about unbricking the phone using Odin to return to the original stock rom. But from what I can tell, there are different stock roms available depending on your Country Sales Code (CSC). So apparently I need to look in Kies for my CSC to know which rom to download, but Kies doesn't recognise the phone, I guess because it's bricked. I know the phone is from the UK, but I don't know what network it came from (I bought it second hand). All I know is that it is unlocked now.
I have CWM.zip, CWM-SuperSU-v0.87.zip, and franco.Kernel-r5.zip on the micro SD card from when I was rooting it ages ago. Do these have anything to do with fixing it?
Any ideas on where I go from here? Thanks for your help.

Which volume button did you press ? You need volume up + home + power to get into recovery.
You can flash any rom from any region using odin.

Same problem
Hey,
Thanks for helping me in advance...
I used the Custom ROM (( http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1970626 )) Ultimate N7000 for a long time. However this build became more and more unstable the longer I used my phone.
So I decided to go back to STOCK.
So I followed this guide: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1424997
And everything went well (Odin didnt give any errors)
However after reboot... the problem began... I cant turn my phone on anymore.... It seems to be stuck in a bootloop....
How can I fix this?? please help me

Which rom did you flash? If you flashed JB, boot into recovery and wipe data. Then reboot.
