You may just have to flash back to stock and try again. Sometimes these things are really finicky.

simple,
just flash the base room again (you will have to enter to the phone bootloader)
and continue from there to flash the ROM you want.

In a nut shell this.
Find and download the stock OS file to your phone and install it via the bootloader.
I think if you do a factory reset on your phone it will start normally. Just turn on your phone pressing X and when you see a triangle with an exclamation point in the middle, hold volume up and press the camra button. Use the D-Pad to select the option and then select Yes and see iuf it works.
Btw Fosly, the upgrade of 2.1 to 2.2, are using the ota update / custom rom?
Try this -> http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=696845
Did u flashedthe base file on computer b4 flashing the rom ?
Or am i talking stupid things ?
Hello,
I installed Rom manager and flashed CWM 5.0.2.0 (I guess) from it. When I choose backup option from the app it does the backup but I really don't think saves it anywhere so I tried doing it manually by going into recovery manually. When I did this the LG logo appeared and then nothing happened just a black screen with the leds on.
Plz guide me as to what I should do now.
P.S. - I have a nandroid backup but it is a bit old. Its from the old CWM I installed manually.
Thanks
Anyone? I really need help!

Thank you very much!!
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.

You have to try the software smartflash, with that you will return to the stock rom! Are you sure that you can not get into Recovery? In recovery you enter by pressing the power button and volume -!!
i have this, it keeps going LG. off on LG. off on?
just take out battery. put battery in. while pressing POWER + VOL DOWN.
it will boot into CWM. well should. Only way i got out of it. or i would have rage thrown fone at wall.
I have done that but doesnt help..... I did install smart flash and it says flash successfull but still gets stuck at LG Logo..... This is some weard ****.... plz help

i had another problem ontop of this. (bad baseband and ril) meaning the battery was like charging then saying 98% then saying 3% then no wifi no sdcard(ext) etc. i was like NOOOOOOOOOOO... battery draining super fast. phone heating up. then i emergency try to re flash. (have no access to put files on sd card) re flashed the only zip on the sd card (lucky cm9) which has aroma launcher, enable me to do a FULL WIPE. then once into CM9 (after it freezes on boot screen (animation) for like 2 minutes. furioiusly pressing buttons wondering if batt is going flat, get into menu. hold power force reboot into recovery mode. (sometimes its really annoying to get into recovery cause hold to long reset/reload no recovery. sometimes easier to hold power in boot into recovery via PHONE CM9 loaded.
i figured out it was the kernel was making my baseband read as UNKNOWN even tho it could tell me the version. ha. only fix was to do a full wipe.
the problem you probably have is. NO WAY TO PUT ANY OTHER ROM/STOCK onto SD CARD cause you have no other device with USB MASS STORAGE SD CARD???
if you can do that, then your ok.
if you cant then you need to go into cwm.
do a restore. if you have a backup. if the backup is ext3 and you have used ex4 roms like CM7/9 then the recovery will fail. and you will still be bad...
try doing in CWM recovery (full wipe/reset/cache/dav etc) ? silly question im sure you would have tried everything.
hmm. the only solution is to get another ROM (ext4) unless u can get backtoext3.zip.
you need the files on the SD CARD.. then you should be ok . right?
Try booting into recovery and wiping the dalvik cache and the other caches maybe?

Hey Guys im new here. In a REAAALYY messed up situation right now.
PLEASE HELP!!!:crying::crying::crying:
Had Carbon kitkat 4.4.2 rom flashed with Philz touch 6.19.
Phone suddenly crashed while using Whatsapp. It did not switch on,when i tried.
Tried re-flashing original stock 4.1.2 firmware (india version,coz im in India).
Used only PDA file(thats what was suggested in a website).
Flashed with Odin 3 v3.07. Got a "PASS" message.
BUT now came the problem. Phone got stuck at Samsung logo and switched off. Battery was about 70%
So I removed battery and restarted phone but same problem. Then I booted phone to stock recovery.
Did "data wipe/factory reset" and then "reboot now" option. Same result,i.e booted till samsung logo and then switched off.
So I again re-flashed stock 4.1.2 firmware(india version),but this time using Odin 3 v3.04(i know it may not make a difference).
Again got a "PASS" message.
Now, it started booting ,started downloading apps(eg:"downloading apps 32 of 63"...,etc).
After this phone booted to Stock Recovery.
This time i did "Reboot now"
It rebooted back to Stock recovery.
Again i did "reboot system" and then it booted back to stock recovery.
So kinda stuck in stock recovery loop.
If i unplug phone from PC,none of the buttons give a reponse(No download mode,stock recovery)
Is it hard bricked,coz when i plug phone back,i can get to download mode and stock recovery,just that it keeps rebooting to stock recovery again and again.
PLEASE HELP. Found everywhere on the net possible,couldn't find anything!
My dad would kill me if he got to know! :crying::crying::crying:
i know im asking for too much,being a new member,but please reply ASAP. Im freaking out here
Instead of pc, check with the charger connected... Could be a battery issue.

Maybe.But my battery was perfect before all this problem started. Its weird if it would just die off suddenly.
Also, i tried the wall charger,and the cable with another phone and its working properly.
I also tried charging with another charger,
Anyway, i tried charging via wall adapter, but then it automatically boots into Stock Recovery, even if i do not press any buttons.
even If i remove battery,put it on again and then put phone on charge,it automatically boots into stock recovery, without pressing any buttons.
And of course,pressing"reboot now" again boots it back to stock recovery.
Odin flash was successful with "PASS" message, and also i tried to factory reset and then "reboot sys now" but it made no difference.

Do u have KIES Disabled during odin? Are you using odin as Administrator? Did u disable firewall and antivirus when flashing with odin? Do u have the necessary files to root it in your sd card?A suggestion only that in your state, try rooting, installing recovery, and flash a custom rom to check if it boots
Note: You don't really have to install india vers. just because you're in india. Try newest ver available.

Try flashing philz ddlsc kernel using odin. Then boot into recovery. This time you will get cwm. Format system, data cache and preload. Then go to advanced menu/power options and choose reboot download. Connect to pc and flash the rom again.

yeah. i don't know what to do now. I'm going to try flashing the ICS stock firmware using Odin.
If that doesn't work,then I think i'll have to take it to some mobile phone repair centre.

I see. so after you changed the battery, did the phone boot up?
and if it did , did it boot up into the last firmware you had tried to flash?(i.e.,ICS,GB or JB)?
