I hope I didn't brick my phone.
1. I installed clockwork recovery via the app on app store and did do a back up.
2. downloaded cm7 via http://download.cyanogenmod.com/?device=p999
3. installed it via clockwork recovery app
4. reboot cell phone and now stuck on second lg screen
5. try going to recovery by pressing power + down volume
6. still goes to "s/w upgrading" stuck.
Am i screwed?
rest assured, you cannot brick a 2x
Search up nvflash. You'll probably need to do a restore.

Which phone u have mate? I see the thread you have referred is for G2X....is your phone the O2X or G2X? if it is G2X...post it in the relevant thread....
if u have the O2X, u may have to flash the kdz method....then i would recommend to flash the Kang from Temasek or Koboltz...u will find it in the development thread....
Hope this is clear
O2X bud. I will search the kdz method cheers

Dear All,
First i installed cwm recovery from this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1007863
, it was success but can't do nand backup, so i use rom manager and installed cwm recovery from there and success.
after that i choice boot into cwm recovery from rom manager, phone was restart but stuck in LG logo.
i tried to take out take in the batre and do normal boot on the result is same "stuck in lg logo"
i also tried to enter to cwm recovery by press power + vol down but still same stuck in lg logo
would you please help me ?
Are you holding your fingers on both power and vol down button for long enough? It can take up to 5-6 seconds to enter the CWM

Ohh no, Seems like I have the same problem
Ohh no.. Seems like I have the same problem.. The phone is stuck on the LG logo.
I installed the Cyanogen mod successfully, and everything seemed to work.
Then i started Rom manager to install Clockwork recovery. The clockwork mod was stuck the first time, don't know why!
So I restarted the phone, and tried installing the clockwork mod again, this time there were no problems.
After the clockwork mod was installed I wanted to install the Google addons, so I went to Download ROM, and pushed Google Addons. The phone asked for a restart, and during the restart I was stuck on LG logo.
I would be very very happy if anyone can help me?
Hi, i think you must use the nvflash reset-all-phone procedure.
Search google for "NVflash stock ROM release" and you'll find the procedure and the download links for APX drivers and zip with rom images and tools.
Good luck ! (I made the procedure 10 times in 3 days past bricking my phone..)

Thank you very much, I succeeded in doing a flash through nvflash, so now my phone works great again
Do you know if you can destroy the nvflash possibly? .. just so I know if I play with the phone as much as I want, and always get it working again with nvflash if something goes wrong

I tried to use Gingerbreak to root my phone, and everything appeared to be successful. I then tried to use Rom Manager to install CWM. Apparently my phone wasn't rooted properly. I'm now stuck in a bootloop (it goes until the LG logo with the bar underneath)
I think you might have the same issue as the post below you: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1549966
So please excuse me if I just paste my post over:
Hmm... we might need more details.
What was the version of clockworkmod you used?
Did you do a nandroid backup?
Did you install a custom ROM? Or you were just turning your phone on?

It happens when I'm trying to install CWM from Rom Manager. I fixed it and tried to install CWM and its stuck in the bootloop again. Everything is stock and the phone was rooted this morning through Gingerbreak.
I fixed the bootloop again. Plug it in the computer and hold power and vol down.

So... how do you "fix" it?
Also, make sure you're downloading the right version for the right model. Whether you have the O2X p990, or the G2X p999, or the O2X su660.

Cool. My problem is, if I turn on my phone, it will stuck in LG logo with colored light on background. Btw, my phone is LG Optimus 2x P990. Have you experienced that kind of problem too?
You can try install CWM via PC. I have done this.
try using nvflash to restore your phone
Hey guys, i really need some help asap. I really know i will be called a noob for asking this, but i had flashed V20n into my Lg Optimus Black (P970). After i installed Zeus mod on it i got a few bugs, very rarely and some times it wouldnt start. I used to take the battery out for a few hours and everything worked perfect. The last 2 days to it refuses to open. Stays on the LG screen and the buttons flash (has reached CMR screen, i have done a format and then restarted it, and nothing works now AGAIN). I have used easy flasher, trying to install the v20s from 3 different forums but none of them helps. I would really appreciate if i could get some useful fast answers or other link refferals. I have absolutely no personal time within the day, and i will need to know fast in case i need to take it to the service center.

What about smartflashtool, did you try it yet?
If not, download it (use search to find it), then go to my noob how to, download the patched v20s provided in there and then it should work fine again. Dont forget to flash the superuser.zip and do a data, cache, dalvik wipe.

Are you using touch version of clockworkmod recovery? If yes try to use normal clockworkmod recovery. I have a case before whatever rom i flashed i always ended into bootloop because of the touch version of clockworkmod.

i used the method described here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1512203 "FAILED" i have tryed all applications like R&D Test tool, BlackJack etc. But tey all fail...

Maybe try to flash any rom with SmartFlash
1.Take out battery
2.replace battery
3.hold Vol- (volume down button) AND power button together until you see the recovery menu. then scroll to Cm updater file and reflash -or- clockwork mod file and flash from backup.
No way!!
When i tried Smartflash pc not found com ports. so i cant flash with this way.
also i tried (JAZZMAN's advice) power and vol- to enter CWM menu but i cant see any thing. (my phone not open)

How phone must show bootloader or you have installed already CWM it must boot into CWM, if it doesn't show your phone to the service .

This is the first time I write here, because I do not know. My cell phone is in bootloop. I can not get into cwm and reset the data did not help. SDK does not work - fastboot writes that waits on the device. LG Support tool stops me at 4%(and yes I install LG drivers). I tried almost all tutorials here and neither helped. Does anyone have any idea?
Sorry for my english.

Are you on a custom ROM?
You have CWM installed? Why can't you boot into it?
You can always try a to flash KDZ here if nothing works.

People reported being stuck at 4% when they had a corrupted KDZ.
Maybe try downloading the KDZ again and flash it.
Other than that, no idea...

SOLUTION 100%
press the keys
volume and less power to the LG logo release and immediately press again the keys until check white lettering telling you to format all down with less volume key and click the power button to agree to the choice you're finally in a recovery and you can install CyanogenMod: D

Flashing the KDZ does seem to be the only possibility left for you though.. Try installing twrp 2.8.0.0 (can be found in development threads) through adb (while in download mode? turn phone off and connect with volume down pressed) and see if you can flash CM using twrp. Also try to download the flasher again. Did you remove the old folder in the hidden appdata folder as stated in the KDZ tut? Just follow it step by step from the beginning if the twrp thing doesn't work for you, doing a clean download of all the needed files. I've flashed the KDZ many times myself and never had any problems myself, so this is all the advice I can give you..
