i got my hands on what i though was initially a g2x p999 with a bad baseband and ? in the battery symbol. i've unbricked a lot of those in the past so i figured this one was no different. after a couple failed attempts i finally figured out i have a p990 o2x.
i was told in the g2x section that the steps to restore are the same but with a different kdz file.
is this true? if so what is the latest kdz for the o2x?
oh, and will the o2x work in the states on tmo?

first I would advise to check that it is a P990 (O2X) and not a G2X.
then you have to smartflash a Baseband...do you have the software upgrade screen when you press the volume+ and volume- buttons simultaneously when you connect to your laptop?if yes, that means you can have the flashing of BB directly. you dont need the kdz method. if your answer is no, then you will have to go through the kdz method.
the latest version depends on the region....presently the most popular ones in GB are V20S.
if you can switch on the device and it works, just try the LG update tool and LG support will de the rest. then if you need, you can root the device and then CWM and all that can follow.
I would advice that you should start with the LG update tool.....(if your device starts normally)
Hope it helps you

i got it working late yesterday.
yeah i knew something was up when the normal g2x flashes weren't working. so i looked at the sticker under the battery, like i should have to begin with, and saw the p990!
all is well with it now........except i see that the o2x does not have 4g capabilities?
That's right. No 4g. It does have quad band, though, so your device will work in the US.

Hi everyone,
My x2 is a vodafone, imei unlocked, stock 2.2 and CWM.
Im in the USA now and im using an iphone here so i wanted to update the x2 while not using it.
I read that lg will update trhe x2 to ICS and i had a pending update on my phone which i couldnt install due to a CWM.. Thinking it might be the ICS i went ahead and removed the CWM.
I removed CWM with "r1-stockrecovery-2x-unsigned", This did allowed me to boot into stock recovery. backed up all my data, did a factory reset and looked for update via wifi.
it found the update, downloaded (it was a small file, so no ics i assume), rebooted it self to install the update and thats it.
Now it boots to the LG logo and it stays there.
power Vol- goes to recovery for a brief moment (15 secs or so) and then back to LG logo.
What i have tryed so far to no avail: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1457582&page=2
Uninstalled all LG drivers and software from system, W7 64 bit.
I have downloaded 2x-nvflashdrivers and 2x-v10b-1300166062-nvflash
My comp detects the phone while in recovery mode, but wont take those drivers, hence NVflash cant detect the phone.. Once the phone goes out of recovery more my comp no longer sees the phone as connected.
I know its a lot to read but wanted to clarify in detail as much as i could so we all are in the same page.
UNBRICKED P990 - optimus X2
FIXED!!!
Thanks to a guy on you tube for directions, seach for user "iPhoneIac" tittle "LG Optimus 2x - How to flash to stock rom"
Program used:
SmartFlash P990
SmartFlash drivers, if u see modem driver not working under windows try to do the flash anyways.
Youll need ISO and FLS file as well. I found an open european set.
i can post links but im not sure if its allowed here, if it is let me know and ill post them so others can benefit from it.
Now that i got the phone working i can keep experimenting, i know how to unbrick it now

Weird.. you tried NVflash but can't find it.... yaaaaah
Phone is just hardware... you make it P990 by flashing compatible rom with this hardware. what key combination are you using ? some phone need battery in or out too.
Please decribe more. WHat you have? what can you operate? We can'rt jhelp you if you ddidn;t want to help yourself by talking us thin things.
Make sure u have the LG drivers installed and refer to the following thread for how to NVflash, u may have missed a step or the NVflash drivers are not installed. [ROM] 25 Mar: NVflash stock ROM release: v10b dated 1300166062 (15/03/2011)
First try to re flash a baseband.... Then go with nvflash
I managed to fix it, a link what helped me is in my other thread in the Q & A sector (the right one )
Thank you guys!

I'm sorry to blunt - but are you really stupid, or do you just like wasting money? Did you not bother to read any of the countless threads in which software upgrades for the P880G are discussed and it is said that it is different hardware to the standard (International) P880? Did you think that you might just get lucky and be able to flash our software on your phone?
I'm sorry mate, but unless you can source the .kdz firmware for your model of phone you are probably going to be left with a very pretty, expensive paper-weight on your hands.

Solution was using smartflash, and i've done everything right but when smartflash doesnt detect the mobile, and yes apx was correctly installed according to the instruction.. how do i make smartflash to detect my phone?
Thanks
its not too dificult to find permanent second thread in development section. and there is multifunctional solution for you http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2020737
Hello, this exact same thing happened to me, don't worry, your phone isn't dead.
First you might wanna recover your phone so you can calm down a little by knowing that your phone is alright. To do that you have to look at the LG logo that appear when trying to turn on the phone, if it's white with white letters, you are on Gingerbread partition, if it's Red (kinda of pink) with white letters, then you have the ICS partition.
As soon as you see that, you have to download from this link: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1969797 a toolkit that will recover your phone so you can use it again. If you saw a white LG logo, then download the Gingerbread version of the toolkit, if you saw a red logo, then download the ICS version of the toolkit. To recover your phone just follow the instructions in that post and in the program.
After that, you can relax a little by know that your phone is ok. Know you might want to try using Smartflash to upgrade your phone to ICS.
I also had problems, when using Smartflash do update the files 1 by 1, mine stopped halfway through.
Still having wifi problems though

Cannot update my LG 2X OS from Gingerbread to ICS. Every time LG update reaches 40% -' Checking S/W version' it says cannot connect PC to mobile. It's so frustrating. I tried removing the battery and rebooting the phone several times but at 40% the connection failure occurs. Can anybody please help. Previously I successfully updated from Froyo to Gingerbread without any hitch. I can't figure it out where exactly is the problem. I connect the phone directly with PC USB port.
You can get your phone rooted and backup your apps and data with titanium backup for example. Then with a custom recovery flash the lg ICS rom and then restore apps and data. These things can be found here on xda. Make sure to make a nandroid backup though, this will probably be explained in the rooting tutorial topic too.

why don't you try update using smartflash or nvflash, it is more easier and quicker than LG updater, or U can use KDZ tools and download kdz file before, here you can find on xda depend on regional u are... v30a or v30b..
