Bricked my lg optimus 2x

Hello, i bricked my lg optimus 2x by somehow, and i've read some on the forums and it keeps popping up that NVflash is the way to go. But the problem is nothing happens when i do it No reboot etc... It do react and say: S/W upgrade...
Also when i try to boot phone nothing happens, it is all black and no reponse... So what should i do ? I got no NAndroid backup etc

I haven't tried nvFlash, but Smartflash sure worked for me. (Verified it 10 hours ago as I just soft-bricked my O2X as well. )
You may follow instructions here.

So the problem is when i try to do that it doesn't find any COM-port :/

Try to install the LG drivers again and hopefully that helps finding COM-port

All of u is wrong. You have to use the method when you're holding vol up and vol down together. If u wait 'til I come home I can give you a link how its done.

The vol up + down method is used for NVflashing.
I used Smartflash so I didn't need to do that.
@random: Aside for checking for LG USB drivers, make sure that you have the battery pulled out, and you are plugging the phone to the PC with the volume down pressed.

smartflash
but it doesnt react to the volume down : P since what i've understand is that it should pop up a the LG bootup thingy
And it doesnt.... The only thing the phone reacts to is when i try to NVflash... but the nvflash seems to fail all the time by some reason :S in the middle of everything

take out your battery, plugin usb + hold volume down.
then smartflash all the way !

Wonder
i wonder how i smartflash then....
/watch?v=uCHRwKGTZTk] i followed that one, but he's phone react with a LG logo when he puts cable in and press vol down... Mine doesn't : (

Try using the USB ports at the back of your CPU (those that are from the MoBo itself). Are you using WinXP by the way?

Tried...
Yes, i have tried the other usb ports at the back and no im not on xp... Im on Vista
64bit.... It feels like i've tried everything that is possible.... So i wonder if there is any hope at all... Or could i turn it back and hopefully get it fixed ? Or will they be able to see what happend etc...

Thing is, if you have tried everything on your end, I guess there's no other thing to do but return it to the shop. I hope you have warranty.

Since you got to the S/W upgrade screen on NVflash, your phone can't be totally dead. Try another PC or redownload the flash file, it could be corrupted.

Dont worry, you probably DIDNT brick it
Search for smartflash and NVflash, smartflash should probably do the trick in this case, but in a few cases u need to use NVflash.
But try smartflash first.

HELP!

Soo i just bought a LG Optimus 2x speed.
This is what i did:
- I Charged it fully
- I installed LG software, drivers etc
- I plugged the phone in the computer
- It said new software available, so i pressed update
- It said update failed, please remove battery and put it in again, turn it on and press try again
But everytime I do it fails! Now it's stuk in update mode!
Anybody please anybody got a fix for this?

Root it and install cm7 on it
Or try the ota update function (settings>about>updates (i think))

I think you misunderstood, it's stuk in sofware-update mode! I can't do anything

I had the same thing. I tried everything and nothing seemed to work. Then I found an application called Smart Flash, I don't know how this program works out what to do with it, but I kept pushing done buttons and suddenly there was some kind of reaction on my PC and after I removed the battery and replaced it again the phone was back in recovery mode. the next problem was that there was no more OS to run. But the pc was able to find the phone again so I downloaded some mod and the problem was fixed.
So you need to google for Smart Flash.
The file is called: LGOptimus2x_smartflash.zip

if you think ur battery is charged enough...first try to enter into CWM(if your phone is already rooted)by pressing power+volume down buttons and you can restore if you have a backup.if not, flash a custom ROM or try an upgrade with LG tool one more time
incase nothing is working...try this...it is for devices which are bricked....

Those colour changes tell me that you're without battery...
Take out the battery, press "Vol-" and connect to PC, It won't work, almost sure of that... after, disconnect from PC.
put back the battery on the phone, press "Vol-" and connect to PC. It should work now.
Pay attention to the tutorial here:

[Q] [LG OPTIMUS LTE2] My phone has been bricked. Please help!!

Hi all xda guys. I'm a new member. I am known that xda has many experts of android smart phone so I join this forum to hope that my phone could be fixed by your willing help.
My smart phone is LG Optimus LTE 2 F160LV. I had been working very wonderful in the past. But one day, it displayed many "not responding service" warning and rolled to restart then. After that, it was stuck at the Korean screen as the below image: (sorry I could not attached the image by tag due to the policy of new member, please click the below link)
//imageshack.us/photo/my-images/850/x281.jpg/
My smartphone was rooted at the time it bricked. I did try to kdz it back to rom stock but no luck.
When I hard reset it (Volume up + Power + Home), then run the command "adb reboot recovery" but still no luck. It turns to a screen with the robot laying down with an exclamation mark.
I did ask help from many persons who is using this kind of phone but they could not help.
I'm very grateful if you guys can take my phone back. I love it very much :(.
Thanks

Please!!!
Any help plz!!

Your phone does not seem to be very popular anywhere around the world. All I was able to find is its (likely) stock rom on seyhacc.blogspot.co.at and its specifications on gsmarena.
What you could do is find out if there's a similar, but more popular model and look for some tutorials how to unbrick that one, using of course your Stock ROM. The Optimus 2X's hardware is likely to different from your phone to try any of our methods.
