Urgent Help Needed!

I think i might've bricked my phone.. It's a LG-P990. I literally bought it today with Cyangenmod and i went into the ROM whatever app and i clicked check to see if there are updates for the current ROM and it said i had to install something to be able to check. So it asked which phone i had and i selected the LGE Optimus 2x. At which point the phone downloaded it and then brought me to the home screen. My phone now is black but when i touch the screen the buttons light up. Holding the power button doesnt do anything.. please help me I think I just screwed myself over big time and i'm really upset and worried.
edit: pulled the battery out and i guess the stuff all loaded but it just shows the LG loading screen and when i tap the screen again the buttons light up. What do i do? i know i probably shouldn't haven even gone in that section at all it said some warning and i just hit ok cause i assumed that this is an optimus 2x which it is, is it not ? what happened? im so confused.. should i just update the phone with the LG support tool because it is picking it up, would that fix all of this ? i tried to boot it up and hold the power + the vol down button and got into the CWM but i dont know what to do here, should i just factory reset wipe everything and try to flash it all again, the seller told me he unlocked himself is that difficult to do?
also sorry if this in the wrong place!!
tl;dr I need a very smart android mentor to help a stupid noob (this is my first android) to help me get back to the square i just obliterated. I don't think the phone is bricked as i can access the CMW.

You could also try wiping everything via cwm,or download some custom rom cm7,miui DjangoManouche put the .zip on the external sd card and choose install from zip in cwm or sort of.The option is on the main page.

Don`t worry, this is LG, impossible to soft - brick .
I would recommend you at start to go to stock, till you do some reading and learn a little about custom roms.
So, as toxie87 already suggested (and you have the same idea ), the procedure will be something like this:
1. Download this rom
2. Put the zip on your sd card
3. Boot in cwm, do a factory reset, and then install rom from your sd card
3. You are up and running again

if you have bricked your phone then try the below method...NV flash method by homermod.....

else as previously replied by our members read the threads and learn about custom rom and try flashing your SPEED....
hit thanks if i have helped you....:highfive:

The seller has now told me it's a LG G2x, so i don't know if i should still try to put that ROM on the SD card guess i'll have to sift around a bit to find the one for the G2x unless you have that link handy too but i'm sure it won't be too hard. Yet it is nice to hear that it's not completely gone haha, jeez was i worried I lost sleep on it! Thank you
edit: i just fixed everything thank you for the help!

Ah, you then have T-Mobile LG G2x. It is similar, but not the same. Do not flash any file from o2x to your phone, you will do more damage then you have now!
Go to your device forum -> http://forum.xda-developers.com/forumdisplay.php?f=1114
Find there a rom that suits you and the procedure is the same .

Glad that you have manage to solve it. Don`t hesitate to experiment on phone (after some reading, there is nothing to brake), just make a cwm backup before, and use files from your g2x forum .

[Q] HELP! noob stuck on samsung load screen

Hi, I was deleting some apps etc with my newfound ROOT power and then my phone went kaput and showed the Samsung loading screen (I'm using a i8190N mini) and now only loads to that samsung screen. I did a wipe of data and cache in recovery and it did start going through the setup process again, but failed halfway thru.... so im guessing I deleted the part that kicks that actually starts the damn thing. AM I RIGHT to think that this could save me...
Download XXAMD3 ROM onto SD card and then flash it in recovery? or through Odin? will this take care of the samsung deleting issue I've done?
Or else finding the stock ROM and flashing it through odin? Is that all or would I need to partition the drive too. Im not good with any of this stuff so any help would be great! chur

[Q] Remove CWM for TWRP issues

Hi friends
I am currently running my HTC ONE with a Venom Rom and been told I need TWRP to update to v4.1
Cannnot get TWRP to go over CWM :/
I have removed ROM Manager but still boots into CWM
I have installed GooManager and it asks if I want to install the open recovery script, does the 10 second count down, and then goes back to main screen, does not do anything else - I have removed it and reinstalled, still same issue
If I use Goo to boot in to Recovery it just freezes on the YES/NO screen and then says script is taking too long wait or cancel :/ Left it for ages to no avail
When I looked in ROM Manager it did state Twrp was the recovery but stil booted in to CWM - now I have removed ROM Manager as I read on here that might be the issue :/
I have also just checked for CWM APP, and that is NOT installed
Can anyone help or am I going to have to flash a STOCK ROM then go back to Venom?
Cheers guys

So basically, you want to install TWRP recovery replacing your current CWM recovery right? but can't make it happen since everytime you do, you ended up still having CWM?
Try flashing this file using CWM.

Just flash the recovery through fastboot

That worked like a charm - THANK YOU mate
I downloaded it but they were all IMG files and its been a while since I used CLI and couldn't remember the settings
lol
Now to flash the ROM
Again, I thank you!

@skpManiac (OP), stop using toolkits, goos, youtubes, etc. if you want to flash low-level stuff, then do it the "hard way"
1- download the file
2- VERIFY MD5
3- (ironically) use 3 (as in three) command lines:
fastboot flash recovery <name of recovery>.img
fastboot erase cache
fastboot reboot-bootloader

Why would I stop using the methods that the guys who make the ROM tell us to use?
and what has Youtube got to do with flashing a phone?

Samsung J5 (2015) is stuck on Samsung loading logo.

Hi everyone!
I really need your help. First of all, i want to say that I'm pretty new to all this technology stuff. So, I installed this Xposed Installer into my phone. Everything seemed okay. It told me to restart my phone to finish the installation. Okay, I did restart my phone. Aaand i got stuck on Samsung loading logo.
I've read alot of articles, but have not find a solution.
I tried:
1) Reboot it multiple times.
2) Wipe cache partition and wipe data/factory reset.
So the main reason I have not found a solution yet, because my phone is locked with password. So I cannot access it trough PC and do something, because it just won't let me.
Is there a way to do this. And if there is please explain it clearly, because i said im new to this stuff.
I know you had struggle to read this, but sorry for my grammar mistakes. (English is not my native language).
Thank you,
Liutauras.
