Hiya all new to this so please be nice!
I'm in the uk and attempted to update my LG black to the 2.3.4 gingerbread using flash - however afterwards it wouldn't connect to wifi, plus some of it was in chinese!! i connected it to my pc and LG did a software update, now the phone will only show LG symbol and the four menu buttons keep flashing.
when i connect the phone using usb the s/w update still comes up so i would like advice on how i can install firmware so that the phone works again
I've browsing your threads and i've seen one for the unbricking so i was going to attempt this tonight - but will that work? also do i pick the V10A, V10B or V10D??

You didn't look closely there are 4 V10H links on that page.
But anyways try this
Download this for orange :
http://csmg.lgmobile.com:9002/swdata/WEBSW/LGP970/AORUTL/v10d_00/V10D_00.kdz
Then extract the cab from kdz.
After that your gonna have to extract .wdb and .dll
Then extract bin/fls files and flash using SFT.
Extract .kdz :

Download SFT :

Actually V20 is not released in UK yet so V10D is latest.

Hi everyone,
My x2 is a vodafone, imei unlocked, stock 2.2 and CWM.
Im in the USA now and im using an iphone here so i wanted to update the x2 while not using it.
I read that lg will update trhe x2 to ICS and i had a pending update on my phone which i couldnt install due to a CWM.. Thinking it might be the ICS i went ahead and removed the CWM.
I removed CWM with "r1-stockrecovery-2x-unsigned", This did allowed me to boot into stock recovery. backed up all my data, did a factory reset and looked for update via wifi.
it found the update, downloaded (it was a small file, so no ics i assume), rebooted it self to install the update and thats it.
Now it boots to the LG logo and it stays there.
power Vol- goes to recovery for a brief moment (15 secs or so) and then back to LG logo.
What i have tryed so far to no avail: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1457582&page=2
Uninstalled all LG drivers and software from system, W7 64 bit.
I have downloaded 2x-nvflashdrivers and 2x-v10b-1300166062-nvflash
My comp detects the phone while in recovery mode, but wont take those drivers, hence NVflash cant detect the phone.. Once the phone goes out of recovery more my comp no longer sees the phone as connected.
I know its a lot to read but wanted to clarify in detail as much as i could so we all are in the same page.
UNBRICKED P990 - optimus X2
FIXED!!!
Thanks to a guy on you tube for directions, seach for user "iPhoneIac" tittle "LG Optimus 2x - How to flash to stock rom"
Program used:
SmartFlash P990
SmartFlash drivers, if u see modem driver not working under windows try to do the flash anyways.
Youll need ISO and FLS file as well. I found an open european set.
i can post links but im not sure if its allowed here, if it is let me know and ill post them so others can benefit from it.
Now that i got the phone working i can keep experimenting, i know how to unbrick it now

hi!
Sorry bad english, but...
P920 rom compatible with P925g?
And work it, if a p920 cwm backup (2.3 gingerbread) recovered in p925 (2.2.2 froyo)?
too difficult the update in to 2.3 for me...
(after a Galaxy S)
thx answer!
p920 roms are compatible with p925. But you will have to flash a stock p920 baseband first. Thereafter you can put any rom of p920. :-D (Just flash with the lg support tool and it will do the baseband flashing too :-D )
Flashing guide is here

*v21E firmware is recommended !
You got be careful with recover thing. I have no idea about it.

You probably don't have all the drivers installed. Uninstall what you have, restart, and than install the drivers.
Or maybe you forgot to enable USB debugging

Hey once i had the same issue as your with the b2c setup. :-D
Try to install the b2c app the very beginning of the process. It could probably be something you changed during the process. Changing port to 9002 or replacing the host file.
If you have already changed the above things, undo them.! Restart the pc and try again.
*at the beginning uninstall all the usb drivers + flashing software.
If you still can't solve the problem you may have to reinstall or repair your windows..! I know its frustrating but i had to do it to my friends pc to get over this issue.. :-(
Hit thanks if you value my reply :-D
Sorry, but not working for me this dark lestat's guide...and other guide...
However slightly different yes!
Own version is work:
1. install drivers
2. install b2c...and close (LG ikon on the tasbar)
3. install msxml.msi
4. plug in phone to pc in usb debugging mode (for drivers finishing installation...the phone is on, don't touch)
5. install shttp, setting http port to 9002, backup hosts file, and overwrite it in to MOD folder...
6. run windows enabler and turn on (on the taskbar)
7. run the UpTestEx...and follow dark lestat's guide...the kdz file flashing full automatic (no need boot into download mode, no need unplug the battery...)
8. full wipe
Running LG-920 Optimus 3D V21E on my At&t LG Thrill 4G LG-925 and it works excellent, No problems whatsoever, couldn't be more happy losing the bloatware.
Also if I may add I do receive HSPA speeds on my phone without any base band alterations whatsoever.

Yes sir. The kdz file includes the baseband.
Sent from my LG-P925 using xda app-developers app
? Which. Kdz file has just the p925 baseband? The v10e has both.
EDIT: Was able to flash the .fls to my phone to restore the P925 Froyo BB. Was able to do the .kdz a few nights ago and get my p925 bb back with v10e, but tried last night to flash back to froyo after trying a p920 BB and when I flashed the v10e BB the phone was still recognized as p920. This is the reason why I ask the above question.
Thanks in advance,

I'm sorry to blunt - but are you really stupid, or do you just like wasting money? Did you not bother to read any of the countless threads in which software upgrades for the P880G are discussed and it is said that it is different hardware to the standard (International) P880? Did you think that you might just get lucky and be able to flash our software on your phone?
I'm sorry mate, but unless you can source the .kdz firmware for your model of phone you are probably going to be left with a very pretty, expensive paper-weight on your hands.

okay, i looked through some and found a solution, but there is still a problem.

Hello, this exact same thing happened to me, don't worry, your phone isn't dead.
First you might wanna recover your phone so you can calm down a little by knowing that your phone is alright. To do that you have to look at the LG logo that appear when trying to turn on the phone, if it's white with white letters, you are on Gingerbread partition, if it's Red (kinda of pink) with white letters, then you have the ICS partition.
As soon as you see that, you have to download from this link: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1969797 a toolkit that will recover your phone so you can use it again. If you saw a white LG logo, then download the Gingerbread version of the toolkit, if you saw a red logo, then download the ICS version of the toolkit. To recover your phone just follow the instructions in that post and in the program.
After that, you can relax a little by know that your phone is ok. Know you might want to try using Smartflash to upgrade your phone to ICS.
I also had problems, when using Smartflash do update the files 1 by 1, mine stopped halfway through.
Still having wifi problems though

But my phone is still slow as he**.
Thinking of flashing cm10.1 (if i got it right with the dot), yesterday i flashed my wifes samsung gio with unofficial jb 4.2.1 and it was smashing
I had some problem with cwm but that was something with the sd card and easy to fix, she is happy and i loved the interface.
But what custom rom is the best (stabile, with least or none bug) and in swedish lang.
If you can please link where to find the files.
