[Q] Flashing KDZ on p990hn Problem - LG Optimus 2x

I have a p990hn which I am trying to flash back to the stock v25H kdz from Fido(Canada).
I have been following the instructions located here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1264289
but still no luck. It seems to stop flashing halfway through and does nothing for 10 minutes or more.
The flashing seems to have gone as far as to overwrite CWM.
The logs from the KDZ software updater can be seen here: http://freetexthost.com/scll2sawf6
Any help would be appreciated. Thank you.
Edit: Got it to work by using NVflash to revert to V10b then upgrade to V25H using the UpTestEX_mod2_marwin.exe and LGTools. KDZ files just would not go. General instructions can be found here: http://www.lg-phones.org/how-to-flash-lg-optimus-2x-to-android-2-3-4-gingerbread.html and the later part of this post: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1287236 (there is a thread for these exact method in the o2x forums but I was too tired to find it, rest assured, it worked for me.)

advice for new modder

I already managed to root and get clockwork mod and even flashed thrill seeker using the instructions found here. I am relatively new to the modding scene and am confused by all the talk of flashing Kernel and Baseband. What I really would like is to get gingerbread but I dont know where to get a rom and do i need to change my baseband. could anyone explain how i could get to gingerbread or point me to a step by step instruction guide or video. I am so confused Thanks in advance for any help
You can flash the kdz file for gingerbread. I would post the link but im on my phone so I cant find it. You can check in the thrill sections.

This is the link for the kdz. All of the instructions are posted in the topic.
thank you very much but the link is not complete
ok I found the link and I tried to flash it but i keep getting stuck at 6% it says there is a problem with communication between pc and cell phone

Possible way of getting ROOT + 4G (HSDPA) speed for p925 (rogers or at-t)

Hello everyone, I know post are existing in the development section for this but I think I may have a way to get 4G speed on p925(g) (rogers optimus 3d and at-t lg thrill) combined with root.
EDIT #2: If kdz flashing worked for you but isn't working anymore for no reason, please read this before asking : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=22023493&posted=1#post22023493 lg effers blocked the acess to kdz flashing since their last version updater
I'm not a pro Dev but mods will be happy, before posting I READ and try to post something usefull.
As I was searching a way to get a better bb for my rogers optimus 3d I found many interesting things but all were uncomplete.
1. The LG Optimus 3d seems to simply be a LG thrill (don't be fooled by the G in P925G it seems many ppl are just ommiting the G to do shorter)
2. This post : forum.xda- developers.com/showthread.php?t=1449021
(pull off the two spaces after xda-)
Showed me that there was a working stock gingerbread ROM from Brazil that is having the right frequencies to give 4G on rogers (tested by myself and it's a GO!) and on at-t.
The only problem with this rom is that currently There seems to be no way to root it (not even the latest superoneclick 2.3.3 can do it).
So basically it's not that bad because you've got the choice of getting STOCK GINGERBREAD WITH 4G SPEED ON P925 by flashing v20a kdz (follow first link)
But many of us want to get further. ROOT + 4G is almost a requirement for a phoen to be respected according to me and many other.
So acording to the post there is 4 THEORETICAL ways to get root + 4G on a p925
1. Follow the instruction in the post, and if you're one of the lucky bast**ds for who the second kdz installation doesn't push the european bb well you're good to go but even after 5 times repeating the process the bb was always getting flashed.
2. Get the superoneclick guys craking, so we can get Root access on the brazilian ROM
3. Get who knows who cracking the brazilian or european kdz file to isolate the bb (from brazilian) or the ROM (from european) and then flash them in the according order to get a rootable ROM + the brazilian bb together (we know they are compatible since bast**ds from #1 are still getting data).
4. Install only the ROM from someone who would post an european .bin (without bb) of v21a to be installed over the full brazilian kdz.
So basically i'm widening the call for this .bin file search but I think there might be another way!!!!
I've seen phones reacting different ways when combining a froyo baseband on a gingerbread ROM.
a. the phone bootloops
b. there is no signal but phone boots fine
So basically if the p925 is doig b. it would be possible at the place of searching a v21a bin (that seems hard to find) flash a rootable froyo bin . So I'd like to know if any of you still have one of the rootable bin that were found in this post : forum.xda- developers.com/showthread.php?t=1246678
I would have already tried for myself but since megaupload closed fileserve does not support share anymore....
So if someone could provide me with
a. one of the rootable .bin file in this post :
forum.xda- developers.com/showthread.php?t=1246678
and I'll tell ya if it's a WIN or if we have to get back craking!!!
b. Tell me if this workaround fits:
1. Flash V20a brazil kdz (found here forum.xda- developers.com/showthread.php?t=1449021
2. Flash a rootable froyo .bin using this method
forum.xda- developers.com/showthread.php?t=1244490
3. Root the froyo ROM
4. Install CWM
5. Flash a gingerbread rom made for p920 NOT FOR p925
6. TELL US THE RESULT!!!
BE SURE TO KNOW WHAT YOU ARE DOING BEFORE FLASHING KDZ AND BIN FILES... I'M NOT RESPOSIBLE FOR ANYTHING HAPPENING TO YOUR PHONE. BUT IF AS ME YOU GOOGLE AND READ YOU'LL PRETTY MUCH ALWAYS FIND A WAY TO UNBRICK... DON'T ASK I WON'T DO THE GOOGLE FOR UNBRICKING YOU!!!
so I know it's a long post but.. I prefered to go into details and expose my point right with all the sources article
Good luck to all and KEEP ON CRAKING!!!

try that out its the thrill froyo bin
Does not work. It still restores the froyo baseband. If you delete the baseband from the folder the flashtool won't work at all.
I don't think that's going to happen yet

You can flash just the .bin file i thought

I couldn't it just kept saying error in the lgflashtool. With the fls and bin in the same folder it flashed but replaced the radio in the process.
Hmm i wish i had time to get on the comp and try this on mine right now

I'm going to try it when I get home, and i'm going also to try with a blank .fls file just to see if it flashes nothing.
Don't know if it's my windows 7 environment but i'm getting some trouble even before the software trying to flash... I enter the .dll file then the .bin without the .fls and when I click ok the program automatically crashes... Any idea what it could be so that I can try to flash the froyo bin over my v20a baseband?
Are you running as admin?

Try rebooting comp and do it

LG closed that so we can't do it anymore.
OMG.... A chance I'm already on a rooted rom.. They are truly making us struggle to get good roms on this phone.. an again we are pretty much screwed to get the right baseband on our phone... If anyone finds a tutorial or anything to do so.. HELP!!

[Q] Q: How to Root V20B?

Hi I just bought P970 with V20B Fw, the problem is I cant root it. I searched for the steps already but the flashed bin or kdz download link is not working anymore. Is there any other way to root it or can I downgrade to V10B Froyo so I can just use Gingerbreak??? Pls Help. Thanks.

There is now tools to automatically convert the kdz to bin and fls and inject CWM. Search for P970 ROM converter and get the kdz file from lg-phone-firmware.com

Read my noob how to (post 3 especially), if you need any more info on that.
Thanks, although the patched bin download link in getzilla is not working anymore, anyway you can reupload that in mediafire or zippyshare maybe. Thanks.
Patch it yourself, download the kdz and then follow my how to, it's being done in less then 10 minutes...
Thanks man. I was able to root my OB now. I downgraded to Froyo first using Smarttool then rooted with Blackjack. damn gingerbread is hard to root, what more when ics comes. i hope not.

[GUIDE] FLASH LG Factory ICS/JB ROM (KDZ) WITH OFFLINE FIX METHOD [UNBRICK]

I know there are some threads here for flashing KDZ (rom) files, but just sharing this information for newbies who can easily understand the simple language and screenshots.
This LG ROM KDZ flashing guide is there since around 3 months time and working well. I have used this for my three LG phones I own. Many a times, I flashed KDZ files on LG Optimus 2x (P990) at least 10 times or more with the help of this guide.
Though this guide is created in LG L9 thread it is applicable for all all LG phones for which KDZ files are released.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2085344
The method explained in this guide is "Flashing with Offline Fix", that means LG Update Tool is fooled by a small web-server app and flashing continues ahead with a file on your computer, instead of downloading from internet.
Thought I should share it here also. Please have a look and give feedback.

Revert back to Stock

How can I revert my LG 2X back to stock? Currently running CM10 with the new bootloader. I have found multiple threads about this but I'm afraid to brick my phone because there all outdated.
Can someone provide me with a step-by-step guide thats more up-to-date?
Thanks very much.
Well you won't get that kind of guide, cuz only small part of users still using p990 (my guess) got back to stock, so all the guides are a bit outdated but shouldn't brick your device. Saying it short, use the old guides
Sent from my LG-P990
Easy method:
Use smartflash to install an old baseband like 20S. Then use LG update tool to flash the latest stock for your region. Alternate, use AIO tool to flash both baseband and stock. You will need to download .kdz file and extract it to fls and bin file in AIO tool prior to flashing. Fls are baseband and bin are the rom
