So you had cm10 installed? If yes push power + volume down and hold it. Otherwise use smartflash to unbrick. Only kernel 3.0.8 includes this reboot to recovery option. Older ones dont have it...

thats the problem i had CM10 installed but does it have anybody to do with it since i wiped my phone? im trying the power+volume down method but doesnt seem to work...downloading smartflash
just for sure do I press them simultaneously or one by one?
thanks for the quick answer by the way :good:
Plug in your charger and when you come to the charging screen hold vol- and power. (or maby on lg logo works to)
If you can't come to the charging screen use smartflashtool.
ok i seem to have a problem here. i use smartflashtool and everything works ok i enter recovery and install supeuser but my phone keeps looping, any idea?

Make all wipes (data, cache & dalwik), wipe system as well, install a rom, wipe data, cache & dalwik again and try to boot again

I started with IZS yesterday and noticed that the camera app stopped working. I wiped from recovery and reflashed the ROM with the same result. I tried reflashing Nemesis X back but the camera app stopped working there as well.
I even attempted wiping and going back to stock ICS, GB, Zeus 7 and in any of these ROMs the camera app stopped working. Sometimes the screen goes black, or the app simply crashes. In other times the app displays the controls but no image preview is shown and controls do not work.
I am out of ideas on what to do. I would really appreciate some help in the matter. I managed to take a logcat from this situation for further assistance.
In cwm, go to advanced>wipe/system.
Then do normal wipes (data, cache, dalvik), install any rom. Should work. Try it.

Tried it already when reinstalling IZS, to no avail. I am afraid it is a hardware problem, and to make matters worse, the IMEI was changed when reflashing (probably when I checked erase all CP on SmartFlash) and now the phone has no service.
Update: The IMEI issue has been solved, but I would need to send the phone to a service center, anyway. The camera seems to be working ATM, but fails from time to time.

Guys,
I'm relatively new to flashing recovery and ROMs..
So, sorry if this is a noob question..
I really need urgent help!
I am on V20a (ESA-XXX) and have successfully rooted my phone.
I tried installing CWM using this method..

After i restarted my phone, it got stuck at boot!!
Its gives the following error and turns of in 5 seconds..
[LG-Security] Error: Boot Image Signature!
The phone doesn't start and does not go into recovery either..
The phone is not even recognised by my PC.. keeps restarting (to error screen) if i connect to pc..

SOLUTION:
Reflash .kdz via Software Upgrade Mode (hold Power button and Volume - )
Dude, reflashing your phone should work. As long as SW mode is still accessible, your phone isn't dead yet. Follow the instructions on this post http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=35971349 Be freaking sure all necessary drivers are properly installed.
Or you can put your phone in recovery mode (power + vol +) and reinstall the stock rom using recovery LG tools providing your Internet connection is fast and stable

hey dude, i have flashed 7 times exactly since this morning only. and i have gotten that error 3 times of those 7. so it should not be a problem
Thanks!
After a few attempts, was able to go to the s/w upgrade mode.. (power + vol(-) )
Reflashed .kdz and it's all good.. (had to root again)
Actually, i was freaked out more coz it's my new phone and i didn't find others with the problem..
I hope that this thread would help if anyone faces a similar problem in the future..
Thanks for the prompt response, guys!

Bootloader unlocking is only available if you're on JB. If your boot image is faulty you need to revert back to official JB.

So if I understood you right, you tried to install CWM without unlocking your boot loader? So now you got a boot image error? I'd suggest to try LG Mobile Support Tool and flash V20A/V20B and then unlock Boot loader. Even if you're on "official JB" as of now, installing CWM without unlocked bootloader screwed your boot image and there's no way to do anything without flashing back a kdz.

Unplug and Power on your phone together by vol down + power button. AFAIK,only if you plug in and press vol down, you will go into software mode.

there's a solution that worked for me when I had my LG p990 and it happens the same issue that you are experiencing
1. Connect phone by USB
2. Enter 3845#*880# in dialer
3. Select Port Settings -> Select CP USB
4. Start hyperterminal, in COM settings select same port like in devide manager -> LGE mobile USB Serial Port, 115200
5. Type AT if response is not OK, change port number
6. Type at%imei, it should display your current IMEI
7. Type at%imei=x,x,x,x,x,x,x,x,x,x,x,x,x,x,x , where x,x,x... is your orginal IMEI number
8. Reset
only works on stock based rom, maybe you should try, you need a pc with hyperterimal
