I'm running Cognition v4.1 (yeah it's old but it was the first time I ever flashed a ROM)
A couple weeks ago I started to experience odd issues with my phone so today I went into recovery mode and formatted the boot,system,data, and sd_card portions then I wiped all the data (I removed my SIM and external SD prior to this) when I hit reboot the phone has been sitting on the AT&T World Phone screen for over 40 minutes now.
Can anyone help me fix this?!?
yup boot into recovery and flash a rom.
dont FORMAT system, or boot, that erases your rom. dont manually format stuff.
if anything ONLY DO factory reset, or clear cache, or delete delvik cache

oh you wiped your SD card, there go your downloaded roms....boot into recovery, mounts and storage, mount USB, plug in USB to pc and copy ROM.zip . UNMOUNT USB and then flash the ROM
This is what happens when a newb gets too much confidence.....
So since I was on a 2.2 ROM before I need to find another 2.2 to flash?
at least you knew and told us what you did. that got your phone back.
Okay so do you have any ROM suggestions? And if you have the time make it fool proof for me to get a ROM installed?
I can get into the Recovery menu and went to mount and usb but I couldn't see it when attached to my PC.....
1st question, DO YOU HAVE the gingerbread bootloaders yet?
if so you are able to go with any rom gingerbread or not.
if your phone didnt come with gingerbread and you have not had gingerbread on your phone (running) you DONT have them.
but you can get them and its a very palm sweating 10 seconds. LOL.
if you dont have them and dont want to go that far yet.. FIREFLY 3.0 (2.2 android) is THE BEST BY FAR in my oppionon and many others.
after selecting mounts ans storage, select mount USB from the bottom of the list, and it should pop up on your computer very quickly compared to when android OS is loaded.
then you should just be able to copy right over. if not the kernel you are using might have broken mounts. you will have to ODIN flash a different kernel...
start there...
I don't have the GB bootloaders I was going to go to stock today and get them and flash the new Fasty ROM but I'll give that a go and let you know how it turns out!
well you could flash one of the new gingerbread one-clicks WITH bootloaders.top of the dev page. " all one click packages " stickie thread,
Nevermind. I'm having trouble finding the correct drivers and where to get odin one click from..........
I got a different laptop from when I first flashed >_<
Okay I have drivers and Odin (didn't see it was at the bottom of the post) I followed the instructions and my pc doesn't recognize my phone (this is one of the problems I was having with my phone the last couple weeks was that even when turned off and plugged into pc the phone would just power on and not be able to connect.) I'm also on a windows 7 laptop I'm going to try it on my old XP desktop
And I installed the drivers and odin on my desktop same thing the phone was not detected after being put into recovery and plugging int the usb cable.
You use download mode not recovery for odin...
Open odin on the computer.
Pull the battery and remove your sim + sdcard.
Plug the usb into your phone and computer.
Hold down volume up and down, and put back in the battery.
You should be at a yellow screen saying "Downloading".
Then you can use odin/heimdall to flash stuff.
Open odin on the computer.
Pull the battery and remove your sim + sdcard.
Plug the usb into your phone and computer.
Hold down volume up and down, and put back in the battery.

I can't get it into download, I do just as you say but it flashes the AT&T World Phone screen then goes black then flashes it again before going into ClockworkMod Recovery v2.5.1.3 - Voodoo lagfix
Dont touch the power button in that process
Okay I did it without holding the power button and my phone either tries to go into charging while being off (I presume I don't have both pressed) or when I feel like I have both pressed and insert the battery without touching the power button it just stays at the white AT&T World Phone screen =(
cant be in charging mode. if you see WHITE ATT screen YOU TOUCHED THE POWER.
odin must be open first.
unplug
take out battery.
put in battery with the screen black....
HOLD BOTH VOLUME buttons
put in USB
keep buttons held until you see yellow triangle.

No go. It's doing what it has for the last couple weeks as soon as the USB touches it regardless of the vol +/- being held down it goes directly to white screen.
Should I just follow this thread? http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1257434
I can't get any PC to notice my phone in any fashion and that's something that started happening a couple weeks ago
you said you flashed it from another pc before, have you tried that pc? and is it the ATT white screen or just a blank white screen?
that thread is talking about pure white screen
That PC is 2 hours away and when I gave it to my mom I formatted the drive and reloaded windows but here I have my Win7 laptop and a win XP desktop both are producing the same results as soon as the usb is plugged in it goes directly to the white ATT screen. I'm working on getting a video with my webcam to show exactly what is going on.
Hi all! i wanna ask if it's possible to install a new baseband with CM7. I think not beacuse i've tried via smartflash but the phone doesn't boot in S/W update! Should i do a nandroid backup and then install it? Thanks for help!
Yes, do a nandroid backup before flashing the bb, cause the flashing will cause a fullwipe. so u can rollback after the flashing and everything will be fine again.
The only thing is that you have to use a different RIL when you use cm7, cause it cannot run the x20 RILs.
What do you mean the phone wont boot in S/W ?
pull the battery, hold vol-down key and plug in the usb cable without putting battery back in, then you can use smartflash.

here is a little tutorial how to use smartflahtool correctly:
http://www.lg-phones.org/how-to-flash-lg-optimus-2x.html
..when the flashing process is finished you can pull the cable and put the battery back in, to boot for nandroid restore. (wipe cache/dalvik additionally)

What i mean is that when you plug device in while holding volume down – you should see a software update message on screen.. but the screen remains black and the phone goes into a bootloop

i see. that could mean that the device is not getting enough power from the cable to keep on. do you use a usb port of a usb-hub or any other kind of lengthening?
what you also can try is holding the vol-down key when you plug in the battery, that should also boot into S/W mode.
Plugging battery everything worked! Thanks mate
You're welcome

first you need the PC to recognize the phone, then the LG support tool need to install the firmware via emergency
---------- Post added at 07:27 PM ---------- Previous post was at 07:25 PM ----------
EMERGENCY MODE.
To enter emergency mode and to connect with the LG Mobile update program, Make these steps.
1 / Remove the battery and disconnect the phone from the PC.
2 / Replace the battery and connect the phone with usb cable and not have to touch anything. Just drain the LG logo and then the battery charging until the screen turns off.
3/Con to screen off press the volume up button and the power (on), do not let go, get the logo but whatever tightened the buttons until it turns off the buttons and pantalla.Ahora loose them again tighten until you leave the message that you are installing the drivers, the screen should remain black, if you ever get the logo for the third time, start again because something has gone wrong.
4 / When the operation finishes installing the drivers, the screen will have a message LGMobile right center bar where it says phone connected.
If you install the Drivers and nothing comes on the screen of the program, restart your PC and rerun the program. You know you need to restart Windows for the changes to be saved.
In LG screen as I said nothing will come, are working at a low level, even before the first boot and the boot, so much **** you have no power to enter into this emergency mode.
To exit Emergency mode, remove the cable and battery. Then restart normally.

This method is for a optimus 3D,and this method is standard.
A bad flashing,or hard brick,this method work.
INSTALLING THE SOFTWARE
With the phone fully connected to LG MOBILE program, we will chop where it says "" Customer Support "" (this in the top bar of the program) and the last option "" Recovery Phone "" click on it.
Now get a message asking the IMEI and serial number, complete the two fields before CHECK. When the two fields are completed, pica at check IMEI, automatically pass to download mode, and complete installation. Be patient with this process as I said, takes about 20 minutes, depending on the speed of your internet access.
After the process, the phone reboots itself, quiet it is not broken, you have to remove the battery and USB cable. Replace the battery and boot normally.
With this action, you regain the broken phone, updating to the latest telephone base and recover the terminal as manufactured, but accessories operators.
Two curious things, updated the phone once, when you start really has respected your installed programs.
Also respect everything you have in the internal memory of 8 gigabytes.
To delete all your phone and you can do it from the original RECOVERY LG, making WIPES or from your phone on this route. -Privacy Settings
NOTE:
In the first try do not wait close the logo. No press long the keys when for the drivers appears to install. Once instaladado, make the process, but this time the logo wait turns off and turns apreatar power buttons and volume up.
kay, i've a screen on my phone with Notice and a logo that i have not to touch the cable, i'll reboot the pc and start the recovery mode in lg tool
@editn in this mode the program shows the phone is disconnected..

Surely there is something you do wrong, this method works on all LG mobiles
If the program connects the phone there is nothing lost.
I tested this method in a Optimus 3D,and work well.

Something is wrong and, for me is not the phone or computer...
Can you download again the kdz-update folder, this time put it in "desktop", download a fresh kdz file, better a v10a, later you can upgrade...
Reinstall "msxml", put a copy the downloaded kdz file inside of kdz-update folder and work from there.
Try to flash it now.
Don't forget to see if you have at least 50% of battery charge and wait a while untill you hit start upgrade.
Another thing, this time use "X3_2008_v0.0.6.9.dll" as (of course....) .dll
Good luck :good:

USB delivers 500 mA only. It's to low for the phone. You have to use the battery.
I had the same problem. I can flash with set in battery only.

safe mode is NOT the way to restore with the modem driver, as it does not enable in that mode, but only ADB does, which is worth nothing here.
you need the low level start, where you get a black screen when its enabled.
your attached log shows a perfect flash
18:21:47 : 3GQCT : wParam = 2005, lParam = 100
18:21:47 : 3GQCT : wParam = 2001, lParam = 0

your problem seems just to be that you are still not factory reset, and the data partition is ruined.
you fatal error is reported in windows with the application failing, which could lead to a totally different problem which is your pc got updated and the .NET is not working correctly or your LG driver is changed, reinstall those drivers.
but anyways your flash was a success, so all you can do is get factory reset properly. I do recall the recovery triggger and i do not remember if it had all the factory reset options but believe so.
Hi xda!
Well I'm gonna tell you my problem, recently I had a problem with SIM-lector so I have to send the mobile to the Technical Service, but I had Zeus Rom, so I wanna put it into a stock one, the problem is that I don't have SW Mode, when I start the phone holding vol + it started in recovery mode, not in SW mode, and the pc (with drivers installed yes, I reinstalled them, tried in a different computer, etc) does not recognize the device, so I tried to unroot the phone via app (gingerbreak) and as a result I got that my phone is still rooted and when I start the phone holding vol + it does not go to the recovery mode or SW mode it simply starts the kernel normally, I can enter into CWM (recovery mode) by app Quickboot and it restarts in recovery mode, but I can not enter in SW mode so I can not use SmartFlash Tool or KDZ to downgrade and unroot the phone :S
So I ask for a method to recover the SW mode. Please I'm desesperated I tried everything. :S
You are doing it wrong.
Try to press "vol +" and connect the usb to the PC. Don't press the volume button!
Thanks!
You want to enter the SW update,right? The process is to turn off the device, press the "volume +" and connect the usb cable.
When you said "when I started the phone", I assumed that you turn on the device. And no one said you are stupid.

Turn the phone off on the back, Set up flash tool first, select correct ftf file then select flash, at this point flashtool should show picture of how phone and green arrow. Plug usb into phone, then hold volume down and plug usb into pc. Flashtool should then flash ftf. Hope this helps.
Ok fixed thanx,just had to reboot with back button,then hold volume down and when the green light appears I release the volume down button
and it flash the trt file in it
