I can help but there is a risk you might brick your phone but if you know how to recover from a bricked optimus 2x then youll be fine.
what you have to do first is download a p990 nvflash rom to wipe and repartition your phone into P990 configuration.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1715272
after installing the NVFlash rom, install a P990 CWM recovery; make sure its 5.0.2.8 for P990. Find it in the forums.
then place this zip file on your phone via CWM then install it via CWM.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=27912487&postcount=31
after that, open /system/build.prop using a nice file manager like Astro file manager or Root explorer and edit
Code:
user.feature.lgdrm=true
into
Code:
user.feature.lgdrm=false
to enable media and stuff.
NOTE: There may be some times that your phone will suddenly black out, not work, or stuff. all you have to do is remove battery -> boot into CWM -> advanced -> reboot recovery and it will reboot normally.
So far, everything works with this method including STK (Sim tool Kit) BUT FM WILL NOT WORK because the SU660 does not have analog FM hardware.
ALSO: accelerometer seems glitched or inverted in some games. quite annoying. very hard to find a fix so if you can find a fix then maybe you can post here and help the SU660 community.

because the custom rom only replaces the system folder. the CWM recovery automatically checks all the patitrions to find out where to put the rom. that's why we need unique recovery for every kind of phone!

[RECOVERY] Easy Recovery for Optimus 2X (CWM & Stock)

ROM Manager now supports the O2X, use that instead!
---------------------------------------------------------------
This is a tool to easily switch recoveries on the Optimus 2X - this is simply a frontend for the .bat file that paul posted (same adb functionality), some people just prefer a GUI for these things and I had some time to kill. It includes the both the stock & clockworkmod recovery images and you get to choose which one to write to the phone.
Thanks to paul for both the clockworkmod & stock recovery images.
Notes:
- This will NOT work on the T-Mobile G2X - dont even try.
- You do not need a rooted device.
- If for some reason all hell breaks loose and the process fails or the program crashes, you can simply use pauls .bat file to overwrite the recovery image or try the program again.
Guide:
1. Make sure you have the LG mobile driver installed for your O2X (You need to be able to run adb commands).
2. Connect your phone to your computer and enable USB debugging (Settings->Applications->Development).
3. Open the program and follow the 3 steps.
Problems?
1. The program needs to create a folder to extract needed files, place the program in a folder with read & write access. (or run as administrator).
2. Your phone needs to be turned on.
Download:
REMOVED - Use ROM Manager instead.
While we are at it, would it be worth it to create a GUI to manage kernels and small tweaks?
Great job and... good idea!!!
nice and easy.
just the way i like it
thank you
Works flawlessly. THX!
nice
wow nice job,
you make it easy for everybody.
thanks allot.
a question, if I'm Rom Modaco ext4 or another, I click the stock and gives the mobile factory (stock ROM)?
What if I have more than one backup in CWM? And what exactly means Stock Recovery? Will it reset my phone to stock? without any CWM and stuff installed afterwards?

atm this program just lets you easily switch recovery images, so no it does not flash the stock rom.

As stated above, this tool only overwrites the recovery partition, it does not touch any other partitions - to get a stock ROM image you need to flash one using either nvflash or smartflash.

This does not touch your sdcard or any of the backups made by ClockworkMod recovery. This is a tool to change between ClockworkMod recovery and the stock recovery provided by LG.
wonderfull! +1

Same problem here. Had to flash with NVFlash again...
This should not do anything that will prevent your phone from booting :/
It does the same as the .bat provided by paul that installs CWM. (Overwrites the recovery partition).
This does not touch the system or boot partitions, only the recovery. I don't know if the phone stops booting with a broken recovery (should only prevent you from entering recovery).
Could you try pauls installer? Also, what firmware did you guys try it on? I have tried on the V10a and V10b from LG plus the MCR. (This will NOT work on the T-Mobile G2X).
EDIT: Since ROM Manager is supporting the O2X, you should use that instead.

cyanogenmod 9 to orginial v20l

hi for all guys,
I have bought lg optimus 2x as second hand I searched so much it has 4.0.4 cyanogenmod 9 but not work properly with all power because of lack drivers and nowadays it is said that offical ics will come that way how can I return this phone lastest offical image I looked web and xda now I am confused a little bit I m afraid to do wrong something.if you help me I will be more than happy.
Thanx.
If you had backup the original rom, just restore it with cwm
Or
Search smartflash on google. Download it with the basebands etc and flash it. Just search it and you will find the steps.

Why not flash CM7? Everything is working and the rom is very fast and stable.
Try temasek's builds, I never had any problem with his builds (no OC).
Just boot CWM, make a full wipe and flash the ROM.

no you cannot just restore to original rom, cause it uses different file type cm9 ext4 but stock rom ext3. you should flash back to ext3 which wipe your internal sdcard, so you should backup. after you can use nvflash or kdz updater to install stock rom.

I the below way is right ?
1. using r2-backtoext3-2x-unsigned.zip to back to ext3
2. Restoring Other P990 backup
3. Then update with Official LG Mobile Tool

normally you shouldn't need to go back to ext3 when using NVFlash because NVFlash recreates all partitions before flashing the firmware
working
Follow the guide step by step...
Pull the battery push volume down and connect phone to your computer - now it says S/W Update please wait - and if everything (all the drivers) are installed correctly the Smartflash/LG Updater should see the phone and you can begin flashing.
If you phone isn’t seen by the software almost probably the driver isn’t correct.

Installing CWM without rooting for Lg Optimus 2x

Hello Guys! I just found out a new way to install CMW and then custom ROM for Lg optimus 2x. Though the files are not mine, but tried using these files for my 2x and believe me it works fine.
Disclaimer: I'm not responsible if you loose any data or brick your Phone! (anyways its unbrickable)
All we need are
1) .KDZ file for our 2x (Gingerbread, Froyo, ICS)
2) Flash tool for LG.
3) Latest LG drivers.
4) KDZ modifier.
5) Half an hour
NOTE: You'll loose all your data present on the phone. Not external SD. But still remove your external SD card before installation.
Procedure-
1) Download the required KDZ from any source.
2) Now install the Latest LG driver.
3) Now place the KDZ file in the P990 CWM folder.
4) Run the P990/970 ROM converter.
5) Follow the on screen instructions.
6) A folder will be created in P990 CWM folder itself.
7) Run the Smartflash tool. Select ROM Copy D/L tab.
8) Select the .bin file you've just extracted and .fls file.
9) Take out the battery of your phone. Press the volume down button and connect the USB.
10) S/w Update should appear, now start the Smartflash installation.
11) It should take around 3-5 minutes. Let everything complete. Pull out the USB cable and connect your battery.
12) Press the volume down button and the power button to enter CWM.
13) Install the required custom ROM (.zip) from your external sd.
Root permissions will be approved if you install a custom ROM.

Nice.
But If I understand correctly, this ROM converter "pushes" a cwm recovery in bin file replacing the stock one, so it is smartflashed together with stock rom.
I see these versions of cwm in this package:
recovery-clockwork-5.0.2.6-p970.img
recovery-clockwork-touch-5.8.1.3-p970.img
The modifier and the recovery names both say p970
and only asks to select touch or no touch version of cwm.
So how can this cwm work on both GB and ICS?
Till now all the cwm recoveries suitable for ICS are modified to support the new layout.
On which layout you were when you tried it?
Did you try it on both layouts, with a GB kdz and an ICS kdz file?
BTW: 3) APX drivers : APX drivers are known as the ones needed with NVFlash mode. Smartflash requires LG drivers.

Simply boot to recovery/cwm, wipe everything, flash izs done. Do a factory reset afterwards in hidden menu and you re good to go, no need to flash v30. You should only flash v30 baseband/fls file afterwards using sft. But i am quite sure it ll work then. Did you also put it in download mode?

[Q] Rooting LG Optimus Black P970 Android 2.2.2 (Froyo) V10a

Hello xda developers,
Phone Details:
Model: LG-P970g
Kernel version: 2.6.32
Software version: LG-P970g-V10a
Yes I'm a n00b but I'm not completely helpless...
The Video (I can't post links yet:crying:
www[dot]youtube[dot]com/watch?v=dJIV8F2SwTo
After watching the beginning of this he makes it seem like you must update to android 2.3.4 first. Which is the reason I ask this question in the first place, because LG Electronics no longer supports the update to android 2.3.4 with the LGMobile Support Tool for the P970. I called tech support last week and it's definitely not supported...:crying:
However since we are flashing the phone with the patched version of V20I_00.kdz as a .bin and .fls file doesn't that mean we are flashing the entire ROM to the phone and not just patching the current version of the ROM installed? Thus updating the phones firmware in the process anyway?
I know there are others out there with this question and nothing in the forum has identified this for me I've been looking for the answer for a solid week now, I wish to address this question before proceeding to prevent bricking my phone because I do need it.
Hope to chat soon!
-Lilly C.
First question should be what do you want in the end?
Just want it rooted, install CWM and then put CM10.1 on it? Then keep 2.2.2, root that, get ROM Manager from Google Play Store, let the ROM Manager install CWM, download CM10.1 (or CM10, CM7, ...).
Want IZS on it? Then do as Huexxx told in his threat. That is closed because he stopped development at least for some time but I think it's still the best for the OB. Not as modern as CM10.1 or even CM10 but a lot more stable and much less battery consuming.
Or ... ?
Sent from my LG-P970 using xda app-developers app
I think you didn't understand my question. To install CWM you have to root the device first. I know rom manager supports CWM for The P970. Gingerbreak didn't work. I'm asking if rooting by the method in the video works even if you have 2.2.2 installed. If not is there a method for Android 2.2.2 on the p970?
Sent from my LG-P970g using xda app-developers app
Hi,
Method 1 - FW V10A / B
1.Download the latest GingerBreak
2.Allowed non Market Place apps (settings > apps > unknown sources)
3.USB debugging ON (settings > apps > dev > USB debugging)
4.A SDC must be present and mounted
5.Launch Polaris Office to explore your SDC, then touch the apk file•in the case you don't have a file explorer, install ES File Explorer or Solid Explorer (Apps)
6.Phone will reboot on sucess. Cool, it's rooted ! (now you can uninstall GingerBreak)
Loading can take several minutes. If after 10 minutes at most nothing happens, GingerBreak doesn't work for you....
Method 2 - Froyo (V1XX)
•Required : installed USB drivers
1.Enable USB Debugging (settings > apps > development)
2.Plug the phone, launch BlackJack and follow instructions•Allow 127.0.0.1 connection if prompted by AVs / Firewalls. Read BlackJack's intro for more details.
Method 3 - Gingerbread (V2XX)
Caution, this method is a full flash ! EVERYTHING on the internal memoy will be lost !
Required : Installed USB drivers, SmartFlash, patched FW binaries V20S (EU) (*.fls and *.bin) and the Superuser+(ESE) archieve
Copy Superuser+.zip in your SDC
Follow the PDF guide procedure (UPK)
Phone will reboot into Recovery, do a wipe / reset
Now select "install zip from sdcard" > "choose zip from sdcard" and select Superuser+.zip (will push AnReboot + ES Explorer)
Go back on main menu and validate on "reboot system now". System is now permanently rooted.

* in theory, you can convert v10a .kdz in patched CWM with LG-P970 ROM COVERTER 2.1 for flash with SmartFlashTools. then flash superuser.zip in CWM recovery.
* try with unlockroot also...
Keep in mind that unlockroot only gives you root access (if it works with your current rom), it does not install or prepare your current rom to install recovery..

I understand that it does not install CWM recovery. I am aware that Rom Manager now supports CWM Flashing I think for the P970.
So what I'm understanding thus far is that if I want to root and patch the current firmware via Smart Flash I must use the same version of firmware.
Want to upgrade to 2.3.4 but it's not supported.
Is this thread safe to do the update to 2.3.4 if I flash the .kdz original firmware first?

Thank you so much for the replies I know others are more than likely stuck here as well.
I would like CWM so I would really like to eventually follow the video tutorial.

no, you can upgrade or downgrade with SmartFlash Tool .
look here for convert kdz and inject cwm : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1692191
you can convert Froyo and gingerbread stock rom on patched CWM rom with this tool.
/!\ ICS have bootloader locked you can't inject cwm with LG-P970 ROM COVERTER
flash with SmartFlash Tool : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1448803
after when you have cwm recovery, flash superuser.zip for root
all stock rom .kdz : http://lg-phone-firmware.com/index.php?mod=Lg+Optimus+Black&paese=Tutti&id_mod=1

Essentially it would be a firmware update and root all wrapped up into one process.
I'm looking to do this soon and you are the best person to ask because there has been some speculation that you can only flash with the same firmware currently installed on your device.

Hello
Yes, you can do it directly, whole rom is converted and patching with cwm.
No need to flash same rom that you have.
But don't do it with v30 (ics) because it causes security error.
To root v30 you can use unlockroot.
In this case you can install cwm from rom manager.
Regards.

I talked to the developer of the LG ROM converter and he confirmed that upgrading the firmware and rooting this in all one process should not be an issue as long as it's not v30 (ics) as it causes an error. I'm not too excited about ICS yet I'm going to stick with gingerbread then with CWM maybe install a good lightweight ROM and Kernel for Over Clocking, I hear this device gets a good stable 1.3ghz!

Who ever told you that, shot him.
OC is often not stable and if you go so high as 1.3 you are lucky if it works at all.

I first bricked the fone and a "Security Error" was showing...
The online solution that i found was to enter "s/w update" and flash a ROM using SmartFlash Tool
That happened...i mean the flash happened but the SECURITY ERROR persisted
But after flashing a few times i cant even enter the "s/w update" anymore
Can anyone help??
Could this be because my battery is out of charge?????

remove battery, wait few minutes, plug usb & vol +, try to change port usb not a usb 3.0, flash with SFT PRE IZS with bootloader unlocked => Preinstallation for IZS ROM (SmartFlash): includes Smartflash and latest LG USB drivers on Huexxx Blog =>

I think that the proxyqV4 kernel will be suitable for use with Surpressed ROM.
These both are supported for the P970 model.
A lightweight ROM with a stable over and underclock? any news on this? See link below someone does state they get a stable 1.3Ghz OC with it.

I had issues with Google PlayStore causing the device to reboot, the following solved that issue and may or may not solve your security issue as well.
1. Flash a V20 using smart flash (use LG Rom Converter to get bin and fls files). Patch with CWM and I can confirm that CWM Touch does work as it's working on mine now.
2. When phone reboots into CWM insert SD Card while device is on (you had to take the battery SIM and SD out when S/W updating) then Install superuser.zip
3. Wipe data/factory reset
4. Wipe cache
5. Wipe dalvik cache
6. Wipe batt stats
7. Insert SIM
8. Insert Battery
9. Reboot
10. Unplug device
NOTE:
**The SIM card said it was not there the first boot but just after turning airplane mode on and off it worked just fine
**The battery may read the wrong level for a short period of time but this will go away shortly don't worry!
with Zeus 7.06 , 1.3 ghz is stable for daily usage.

I don't see anything in this particular thread stating that you get a stable overclock with the P970. The only thing I see is speculation if the access point name server settings work or not and some general stability issues with crashing apps. Unless I read the whole thread wrong. Have you overclocked a P970 before?

i 'have used this rom since few month @1.3 ghz undervolted -3 , no bugs, no FC, no SOD, before same frequency with Zeus 6.04.i'am able to hit 1350 with my OB.

That sounds great however I'm looking for a really light weight ROM I believe surpressed ROM is the best in this regard for less boat ware and efficiently. I'll look into Zeus ROM. Are you overclocking using set CPU? What kernel are you using to achieve the OC? Thanks again.
lillychalaudio.com
All is inside Zeus rom, Huexxx v2.6 light-westwood kernel , overclock and undervolt by Zeus tweaker app.
