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.

, 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

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 just restored my phone to stock rom using rom manager.. After rebooting the phone just keeps on blinking like every two seconds with the LG symbol. Is there any solution to fix this ? Please help..
can you get to "recovery mode" ?
pull out battery, does it still do it when turned on again?
i had this when i used (Rom Manager) to restart my fone into recovery once, it doesnt correctly follow instruction some times.. however manual CWM usually works.

which ROM you were in before?EXT3 or EXT4?
if you gone back to Stock, u used a smartflash method?did u do the three wipes?switch off the phone, then hold vol down + power key button until you get the second greyish LG logo and then choose wipe data/cache and dalvik (to make a fresh an clean flashing)and reflash the stock ROM...it should be fine then.
hope it helps
from reading the log (as it quickly fly's up the screen) you will see it does this automatically
try nvflash and try to update your recovery.. if your using cwm recovery use 5.0.2
thanks for the help guyz.. its fixed.

Download this and use SmartFlashTool to flash this. It will unbrick your phone but beware you will lose all your data.

Download the mobile driver again, and follow the instructions correctly. Like, removing the battery, press volume down while plugging in until the s/w update screen appears, etc etc. Good luck! Hope it'll boot after the flash.

I've a similar-ish issue. I've got CWM installed and can boot into CWM ok. My problem was that I tried to install a ROM (MIUI) and the install had no errors, but when the phone was powered on it hung at the MIUI screen.
So I reverted to a backup successfully and decided to have another go (same problem). This time, after I restore to the backup (which is installed without error by CWM) I can't can't past the initial LG screen. Seems to go into reboot loop.
Any thoughts anyone? If I can get into CWM ok and have a working restore then is there something I'm doing wrong!!
thanks,
Mark
Hi!
I just rooted my brand new LG optimus 4x HD, and when I was going to install cyanogenmod on it, the phone stopped working. I pressed to restart in recovery and installing the rom, but when it was about to restart, it only says something like: unrecoverable boot loader, and something with kernel. I don't know what this means, but I hope there is a way to fix this, because the phone is brand new, and now I can't even start it.
Some suggestions?

Just flash original stock KDZ file with kdz flasher.
If you want to install CM, you do not need a rooted phone, but an unlocked bootloader.
Check the respective threads for details on how to unlock the phone and then flash CM.

ok, i'll try that in a couple of hours when I get home, Thanks everyone! I'll be back if there is another problem
in the lg pc suite that comes with the phone there is an option in "Device" for "emergency firmware recovery" this should be a relatively easy way to restore your phone if it allows you to do it without booting up otherwise use the method posted earlier. to get into the correct mode on the phone turn phone off, then whilst holding vol- plug in the usb (don't press power button) this should enter software upgrade mode.
after this you will lose root and if you unlocked your bootloader will relock it.
i used this http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2256392 all in one tool to root and this http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=40918727&postcount=108 to unlock bootloader, you can use the all in one tool (from rooting) to install cwm after you have unlocked bootloader.

Is there something i can do with ADB sideload?

to get into S/W upgrade mode, remove battery, insert battery, hold the vol-, and plug in a usb attached to a computer (keep holding vol-).
hope this helps. also try a different pc usb port or a different cable (just to eliminate any variables)

Hi astr_x,
Do you have any example links for the respective threads you mention? I have tried adb and fastboot. I hold Volume down + plug into my computer and I get the Unrecoverable bootloader error that was mentioned above. In fact, I get this error even when I plug my phone to a normal plug (and not PC). Anyway, I connect my phone to my laptop (I always get the error mentioned) and when I type the relative adb+fastboot command in cmd (after installing all the relative drivers), I get "Error: Unknown device".
Any thoughts?
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.

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..
