YAI (Yet Another Idiot) with "bricked" phone

Ok I feel so stupid.
I read about the issues that if you uninstall the LG Home screen you need to have another home screen installed. Which I had. everything was fine and the I got some issues (for example market crashed) so I decided to do a reset.
When it came around and I started the installation guide, it said that the installation guide has crashed and phone reboots to lg logo.
I though the phone had a untouched rom-file that it could revert to but I guess not.
So what to do? I've managed a couple of times to start android and connect the usb but since I only get mass storage mode there's not much I can do...
I've also tried to use the lg software updater but since it's the same version (and you can't reinstall the current firmware) it stops there.
I read some about odin for samsung phone, can I use that or any similar tools?
thanks

Forget vendor software from other than LG! They are incompatible with your phone.
Your phone is not bricked. With a real brick your phone will be nearly dead.
You can try to download SDK Tools from here (you only need the SDK Tools, not all of the SDK or the APIs)
http://developer.android.com/sdk/index.html
Install/Extract SDK Tools. You also need USB driver from this post:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=953182
Then connect phone to your PC and search for adb.
Try this command:
adb shell
(it opens a linux shell on your phone)
Does it connect to your phone?
When yes, your chances are pretty big to restore your phone.
Type
exit
to get out of the shell.
I advise you to read this thread because it covers your problem pretty much:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=992945
Sorry, I cannot give you more help because I'm also not an expert with restoring system parts.

Thanks I've read the threads regarding deleted home screen but the problem is that I can't get the phone in USB debugging mode and therefor I can't use adb...

Have you tried hard reset? (Power + volume down)

Yes I have.

I would try the fastboot method

If you have a kdz file (there's one available for the O2X in this forum), and get the phone into emergency mode you may probably have an alternative option to consider. Feel free to look at the following thread. The O2X will use the same LG updating software:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=883314
Just make sure not to use a P500 rom!
On an Optimus P500 it's Vol+Back and then power on in order to get it into emergency mode, however I haven't managed to do it on the O2x.
Hope you get it working

Hi I've tried all day with both lg utils and with KDZ_FW_UPD_EN, none seems to work.
I reset it so that I can enter the guide but I when I press exit or go throuh with the guide "The application Setup Wizard (process com.android.setupwizard) has stopped unexpectedly. Please try again" and then it exit to lg logo... I can access the notification bar and enter wifi settings and some other things but I can't get to the usb menu. anyone know a "backdoor" to get to phone settings from activation screen?

Perhaps nvflash is the solution.
Someone with a working stock 2x could dump the rom using nvflash, and you could flash it?
Poul O'Brien has confirmed nvflash works on the 2x, haven't tried it myself though.

Edit: hmm, nvflash only identifies my gfxcard, guess i'm doing something wrong...

we're working on a recovery which could help you fix the problem. all we need is a little more information from somebody who acutally has a phone

Wrong nvflash.

You can still get it into nvflash mode and then flash cwm. A guide to getting into nvflash mode was posted on the MoDaCo site.
Paul will release cwm later today.

USB-connection (Smartflash, NVFlash, Data-transfer)

Hi,
I've search thru the forums and tried several things, but haven't found a solution.
My problem is that I no longer can make a USB-connection to my O2X.
The only thing that works in the micro-usb is charging. What I tried:
- Smartflash (power-up without battery while holding vol-)
- NVFlash (power-up without battery while holding both vol-buttons)
- Ordinary USB-connection (flash-drive)
- Cleaned it for dust
All of this was done on different windows machins (WinXP and Win7), all USB-ports and different USB-cables (inlcuding one that I know has worked before). Windows don't even show me the device.
The reason why I want to flash is that I think the current baseband (that I flashed) is not the best for my phone. So I want to try another baseband.
Do any of you have a suggestion on how to fix my phone or is the hardware toasted?
Best regards
Anders

Try going to Hardware and Sound and then Devices and Printers in the Control Panel. Maybe it'll show there.

You may try in a virgin PC where no USB drivers have been installed. Best would be format PC reinstalll WIN OS and try NVFLASH or SMARTFLASH after installing LG USB drivers. I have also faced similar problems and solved them in different PCs either friends or office. I somehow feel LGs drivers are badly written and not very smooth functioning. In fact I (and many others) have bricked O2X trying to upgrade to official GB updates by using LG PC suite and drivers.
This is only my suggestion. I did not had to format my PC any point of time. Don't curse me if this fails. This is only one of the trials and errors.

Maybe I should try from a Linux live-cd to check if it's windows or the phone who's acting strangely.

I got the exact same problem and after searching the net there are a lot of people having the same issue too.
Don't want to sound negative but the majority never got it to run again. For some it automagically started working again.
I got it to run only on Stock Froyo, no stock GB and no ICS with all the ICS Kernels available.
The thing which helped me on Froyo was: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=28985033&postcount=5
Unfortunately CM9 has no secret menu.
I once had it recognized with Jarvis Kernel on Paranoidandroid for a second and had a hotreboot. Then never again.
I'm pretty sure the PC and the LG Drivers make no difference in this case, as I got 5 different PCs running different OS for testing and they never made a difference.

Does the ROM has anything to do with Smartflash- and NVflash-modes? My guess is that they have nothing to do with each other. So my problem should persist even though I try different ROMs. Correct me if I'm wrong.
I'll look into the Froyo-topic you linked to.

Strange. Now it suddenly works again. I didn't do anything from the last time. That's odd.

I don't think that the ROM specifically has to do with the problem.
Stock Froyo just happened to be the only ROM where switching USB connection modes made the device seen in device manager on Windows. (Although it required manual .inf driver clickery.)
I'm sure missing USB connectivity affects people in NVFlash as well.
In my case I can't do **** ranging from USB mass storage when booted up, ADB or NVFlash when booting.
However restoring to the Froyo nandroid makes everything working for me again.

oh oh, it looks like the same issue that i had... No PC-connection (Win/Linux) recognized the mobile via USB. No Chance to get it back to work.
I flashed back to stock (very difficult without NVFlash...) and then send it back LG Service for repearing. After three weeks i got it back. They changed the hole mainboard so i got a new IMEI but USB works now again.

Yeah. It stopped working after I booted a couple of times
And it was only semi working, it didn't want to go into Smartflash-mode, only NVFlash and Flash-drive.

Nope, as I'm quite sure that it's not a matter of drivers.
Windows don't even detect the phone. So I think that the phone doesn't present itself.

Since you already tried changing cables, computers, and even windows & Linux, and since it works on and off, You're right - it isn't the rom nor the drivers. it does sound like the hardware is messed up where the cable connects.
Any chance you can get it serviced? Hope your warranty covers it.

Same problem, no solution
Hi,
I seem to have the same sort of problem with my phone.
I used to be able to connect my phone to my computer just fine until I upgraded it to Gingerbread. Or that is at least the last time the USB connection seemed to work.
I have looked all over the internet now to find a solution to the problem but can't find one. Hope you guys could help me on this.
My phone is an LG optimus 2x P990 with a stock ROM gingerbread 2.3.4
LGE Version LGP990-V20r
Kernel version 2.6.32.9
I've tried so far:
- rebooting phone and pc
- factory reset phone
- Use other pc's => didn't work
- Connect a samsung phone to my pc with my LG cable => did work
- uninstall and reinstall all the necessary drivers
- mass storage mode on and off
- Installed android SDK and looked for adb devices, none shown
- phone doesn't show in the computers device manager either
Although when I do connect the phone it starts charging and if I go to the tethering settings it does recognize the fact that it is connected through USB.
So why can't I get my PC to recognize the phone.
I really need it cause I would like to root my phone to install a custom ROM.
I have tried rooting it with Gingerbreak as well, but that doens't seem to work either.
Thanks for the help

And if you pay atention, the links also as uploaded drivers are from 2011, old.

Check SW
First of all try this:
1. take battery out
2. put it back
3. press and keep volume down
4. while keeping volume down plug USB cable, after 2 sec should enter to S/W upgrade
try exactly how i said and report if that works.

only thing that will surely work is lg center. i've been on the forum for a while now and i dont recall anyone fixing the device going into apx mode by themselves, but i think i've seen someone who had it repaired by lg. we simply don't have the program they use for fixing it available

Yeah if we had nvflash access via APX mode, we could recover against any software brick, LG choose to leave this out of their bootloader which is a shame.

I tried to flash the official stock rom "V20B_00" by lg using the kdz updater, but I didnt put off battery during update software, I just hold vol down button and connected to the PC. Then started to update, i was waitting for a long time, but it didnt update, so i disconnected the phone, and now it's not turning on.
Do you think that I am able to unbrick this phone?

Im unfamiliar with how the Lg S/W update mode actually works, i would assume that its separate to the main bootloader(which by disconnecting you maybe/ most likely corrupted) but either way, you HAVE to get into the update mode to repair. Hopefully you can find a way in (search the forum), but if not its most likely a brick im sad to say

btw, is it possible to repair it via JTAG? or just one solution for it is lg service center?

I'm in a unconfortable situation, because my task was to put the europe language pack to this phone, and now its not working. The phone probably wasnt bought in country so it might be some problems with lg service center

I cant say for sure, but JTAG is very unlikely. LG will fix the phone, the question is for how much. Normally if the bootloader is gone it will require even LG replacing the motherboard. I cant comment on how much this may cost.

I'll cut it short as i've already encountered this situation
If you can't exit apx mode normally
(meaning you voluntarily entered apx mode by holding vol + & - at the same time)
you are experiencing a hard brick
Only case we could solve it is if we had apx drivers, but as you've already searched..there aren't any
If you want phone back, in my experience, only solution is service center
I know it sucks, but sometimes it happens

One thing you could do is search the web for someone who's ditching his O4X for a really low price (because of a shattered screen or other malfunction) and replace the motherboard yourself. If you're in luck that can be cheaper than a service center and then you don't have to worry about blown bootloader fuses.

You said yourself that the phone wasn't bought from your country.Even if you get over that problem they'll still replace the motherboard.I doubt you could even prove that it was their software's fault.If you can do it, like stated above, buy a cheap 4x hd from the internet and replace the motherboard.Well it's not worth the effort in my opinion.
I think you should try your luck with the service center and buy another phone if you can't get it repaired for a low price or free.

Now when i want to turn it on it stucks on LG logo, tried all combination (i think so) but it but it shows LG logo then screen turns off. Anybody help?
Edit: I found out that i can turn my phone in SW upgrade and use Smart Flash Tool, but the problem is that none of the drivers are working, i tried about 10 of them, pc cant recognize my LG, anybody help?

I had this problem like 5 months ago
OK read this and follow the exact guide im doing it personally so that you dont have to search! kk
(for getting your phone working)
1.install the phone drivers from the website ( it might show on the com port thingy then )
2. flash only a gingerbread rom or froyo rom because the ICS rom is locked with a bootloader and will cause the lg logo thing all over again if you flash
3.From this link download the gingerbread rom( download the V20A from venezuela )( http://lg-phone-firmware.com/index.php?id_mod=1 )then use the rom convertor ( go to this link for the guide on how to flash http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2144577 )
4. if it works, all you have to do is put a rom on your sd and go on with your life
( PS I suggest you try HUEXXX's IZS ROM or Marvel V9 as they both are really stable and works really well)
as for other roms

possible but not safe!
causes permanent brick if not done well ( i think )
your not detecting problems could be anything!
try reinstalling the drivers all over again
or try another computer!
and also the USB CABLE you are using should be lg ones
and if any lg ones dont work use your OB CABLE!!
REPLY ASAP WITH RESULTS

Tried reinstalling drivers about 20 times;
Tried on another computer still the same;
Tried other (not LG) cable still the same
Today I was at local service center, they said that they cant fix it, so they sent my phone to a better service and they have some kind of box mobile phone fixing tool. Looking forward, that costs 10 to 15 euros. hopefully they fix it.
