phone stuck on lg logo but can install the rom - LG Optimus 2x

hi i have a lg optimus 2x korea and i cant boot into custom rom.i installed cwm recovery and clear cache, data and successfully installed my custom rom but when i rebooted the phone i was stuck with the lg logo.can someone fix this.thanks also i forgot to backup.so how is their a method to return to stock

Try wiping everything and flashing ROM again. Give it a 2nd chance. Else you can download another ROM (in pc etc), put it in micro sdcard and flash it.
You can go to stock by using smartflash(search in Development section), but believe me its more pain n the ass to do that!! besides you lose you root and recovery too.

Use LG update tool to update to the latest country ROM and then you can get back root, custom ROM and so on....best always is the LG update tool which wipes all in a safe and best way

Try and try as I might, I can't get the LG software to recognize the phone no matter what I do.

Got into something like this yesterday, this is what I did.
Downgrade to GB via ODIN and later go to recovery and flash abyss kernel, then wipe data/cache, wipe dalvik cache.
Then, flash the rom of your choice.
Remember, to take a backup through Nandroid or titanium backup.

Downgrade from ics to gingerbread.
1. Download any stock or pre-rooted gingerbread rom. ( you can easily find at dr.ketan or bodivas thread.)
2. Open pc odin and connect you devices with pc/laptop.
3.After get conneted, press pda button and choose the ginger rom file ( choose the biggest size file about 800mb ++).
4. Press start and wait until finished.
Remind: only press the pda button and choosing the right file. Other boxes must leave it untouch.

3. What is the status of your phone now? Is better do nothing and let other member clarify and give you proper method of guide.
Sent from my GT-N7000 using xda premium
Im not sure what happened during you upgrade to v9 and why redcwm will appeared before you flash it.
1) Abyss 4.2 original/custom is a gingerbread kernel, im assuming you at abyss kernal, therefore your phone 100% wont able to boot into ics base rom.
2) Im assume now you cant flash any kernel, no matter what kernel thru cwm. Then you should flash ics rooted kernel thru pc odin. ( no need to worry about the binary count and yellow triangle).
Please report back. Other member will be glad to help you.

But he did mentioned never flash gb kernel during ugrade to criskelo v9. But why redcwm appear? ( he did mentioned able too boot into recovery mode)
According to his report, i think he might lost full root. ( because the flashing kernel proccess get stucked at all. ) if doing nand restore at this stage might having some risk. ( maybe).

[Help] Boot Loop everytime I go to recovery

here's the thing..
i'm running on v20g, i rooted it using LG extract and injected CWM, flashed it using smart flash. but everytime i go to Reboot to recovery i always end up on a boot loop.
will someone help me? is there any way to downgrade from v20g to v20o??
please help me, i'm unable to use my phone for about a week now. :crying: :crying: :crying:
try using smartflash.... works for me everytime... and also try flashing the normal cwm not the touch one... might help...

still boot loop.
Hey buddy! I have same problem with you! I noticed that when i'm on stock rooted rom i always ended into bootloop going into recovery using either rom manager or quickboot. When i'm on custom rom like marvel, zeus etc. i also ended into bootloop going into recovery but after 1 hr or more, i will turn on the phone and then it will boot into recovery. I have a hard time flashing different custom rom because of this. Its like there is a time out before entering cwm recovery. It also happened to me everytime i used smartflash tool. It takes an hour before my phone got boot. 2 weeks ago someone upload a flashable V20s spain stock rom that has capable of entering cwm recovery after flashing the stock rom and luckily i manage to save it to my computer. I flash it using smartflash tool, after flashing it will reboot and then it will stock into bootloop. I will remove the battery and wait for atleast 1 hr and then i will turn on my phone and it will automatically boot into recovery. I do data factory reset, clear cache 1st then install superuser zip and then after that i flash the custom rom. I suggest that look for a flashable stock rom that has capable of entering cwm automatically after flashing and once you got the cwm do all you want but install first the superuser zip before flashing custom rom.
EDIT:
Here's the link buddy but i don't know if its available to download.

[Q] LG SECURITY ERROR - Bootloop on Optimus Black

I had rooted my Optimus Black right from the first week i had bought in May 2012. Tried all the possible custom ROM's out there. Huexx's Zeus ROM was my favourite. But due to power problems (abrupt restarts and excessive heating during charging) I had to give my Black to service center for repair. I made sure that I switched back to stock ROM before I give it back to the service center.
Since then, I have been unable to ROOT it !!
Tried all the possible methods to root it:
CWM Injection, Smartflash resulted into BOOTLOOP's when i tried to flash older V10 and V20 firmwares. Only firmwares that worked were V20 F and V20 G.
This got me really frustrated as I just couldnt ROOT IT.
Today I flashed European V30 with the intention of ROOTING it with Unlockroot.
This time i was successful in ROOTING.
I installed Rom Manager, Flashed CLockwordmod Recovery. Rebooted into recovery and was greeted with a "LG Security Error" !!!! The phone just wont start.
What is going on ?? Is my bootloader locked ?? I dont know ??
Can someone please help me ??
Official ICS has bootloader locked.
lg putted a "crc check" on the bootloader so if its modified like your case, it gives a security error

Does that mean I am stuck on STOCK firmware from now on ?? This sucks.
I also came across things like for the Optimus G and Nitro.
Cant anything be done regarding this matter for the Black ?
Removing the very essence of andriod OS by LG by resorting to such stupidity really DISGUSTS me.
Please Dev's, come up with something. STOCK LG roms suck ass.
yes you cannot have cwm with that rom (atleast this easy)
flash another rom with smartflashtool
Download THIS and use THIS tutorial .. you`ll get Gingerbread rooted. After this install rom manager and you can install custom rom.

STUCK on LG logo with the bottom lights blinking. Waited for more than 10 mins but just stuck there.
As I had mentioned earlier, can boot successfully through only stock firmwares like V20 F, V20 G and V30. Cannot flash patched roms and neither can I flash old V10 firmware as it results in BOOTLOOP.

A lot of people flash a patched V20 and they forget to flash the Superuser and that results in a bootloop.At least it happened to me when I first rooted my OB in ancient times.Maybe this is the case.

Did you start smartflash as admin? Disable anti virus program and firewall maybe?
Sent from my LG-P970 using xda app-developers app
Hi
This happens if you flash original v30b with smart flash and the only way to go back to GB is flash a patched v20 version....
And it directly first boots into CWM...now dont restart....just flash your backup from your memcard,this will bring your phone back alive....
You can try copy any other zip version in your memory card if u dont have backup....
The problem is original v30 formats the phone in some diff format.....
Flashing it back with CWM...brings it back alive....
If you already flashed patched version then u can try to enter CWM by console...adb reboot recovery......else do as mentioned above....

i then went back to an old 20a backup i made some month ago.
that worked fine.
my phone downloaded an update to 20b then, and i installed it.
after that i am stuck in a bootloop now. normal booting gives me cwm.
i am not able to turn the phone off and charge it, as mentioned somewhere else, to clear the "boot to recovery" flag.
someone knows a way to clear this flag?
Its not important for me if i run stock or CM, but even when i install my CM backup now it still boots into recovery.
holding <down> while rebooting gives me "S/W Upgrade - Please wait while upgrading".
it seems the 20b update is still present and trying to boot into stock recovery, resulting in cwm getting loaded everytime.
(cwm works fine, i can upload a zip and execute it)
greetings

i had the same, if you want to install ota updates you should have the "original" recovery.
i flashed it back to stock with LG .kdz flasher. if i remember correct flashing a backup from sd card won't slove this problem.

hm, i remember having the same problem while installing CM. there was something i did to interrupt the loop, and yes, i think the original LG suite or kdz was involved. but i should not need to reflash the original rom.. its just a flag, i should be able to clear it with sideload/zip/button combination.
[edit] maybe i wasnt clear about that: i dont need the 20b upgrade, i would love to cancel the update process, if that makes my phone boot again.

sorry but i can't help you with the flag... i solved it by reflashing but i have to admit it's quite drastic.
well..
i will reflash stock i guess.
do you remember which thread/tool/drivers you used to reflash?
i am on win7 and my PC isnt able to load fastboot nor LG mobile usb drivers.
i have them installed but get the yellow warning on both in windows hardware administration page

Easiest way to reflash stock is to force an update using the LGMobile Support Tool. Once your phone is connected (I suggest the S/W Update mode) look for the option somewhere in the upper right menu.
Edit: This will also revert to the stock recovery.

if i recall correctly, the LGMobile Support Tool tool wont recognize my phone, since i have a custom kernel, unlocked bootloader and a custom ROM.
i am trying to flash stock ROM now with kdz updater ( http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2069723 ), and if this does not work i am going through every method thats there..
total overkill for a working phone thats just too stupid to boot the right option..
@moneyvirus: thx

Not sure about this, but the S/W mode might make a difference here. No harm in trying, right?
well. i was able to install stock 20a with kdz updater and link above.
cwm is gone now ofc, but everything at least works.
in some hours i will be rooted and cwm'ed again, but well... its always the same lesson: never touch a running system.
but maybe here's the wrong place to insist on this wisdom
