[Q] P990 won't reboot - LG Optimus 2x

Hello people,
when i got my lg 2x speed last week I updated to ICS via the lg update tools, it worked fine so far but I wanted something else. Came home today and wanted to flash Eaglesblood rom (v. 4.0.4.) booted into cwm (v5.0.2.8) and after formatting and selecting the rom it said something like: "code 7 installation aborted". I thought it may be an old cwm so I wanted to flash cwm touch 6.0.1.2. Guess what... installation aborted. Now I don't care too much about the installation but when I reboot it's stuck on the pink LG logo (30 min waiting and no change whatsoever seems pretty stuck to me).
Has anyone got an idea how to fix this? Maybe the the AllInOne toolkit with kdz + BB files? Pls help me.

You flashed an Old gingerbread bootloader ROM since you upgraded too ICS with the tool you now got the new ICS bootloader and now your partition layout is messed up use the AIO (all in one toolkit) @ the android development forum follow the tutorial an nvflash to the new ICS bootloader this will fix your problem abd don't try to flash old bootloader roms again on a nee bootloader.
Beware : when nvflashing make a backup of your whole internal sd card since your sdcard will get fully wiped.

[Q] Revert from CM7 to stock without having a backup

My friend wants to revert his phone back to stock from CM7 after getting tired of the bugs that are still in CM7. Unfortunately, I can't find any backup of the stock ROM that he used to have on his CWM. After googling a bit I couldn't find any more information about how to revert, since everyone suggested that i simply restored from the former backup. If there is a way to revert without it, it would be awesome if anyone of you can point me in the right direction about how I should do that!

I've tried to open SmartFlash, but it didn't recognize the phone even though I used the LG drivers that was linked to in the guide.
I even tried to flash the ROM found in this thread/reply but only ending up in a boot loop. Is this because of some EXT3/EXT4 format problems...?
Anyways, have reverted back to CM7 now and are still looking for help...
You could flash the latest leaked stock V20o from here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1408919 - using CWM.
revert from cm7 to stock
.i used smartflash but im still on caynogenmod 7.2 so there is nothing happend
what to do
If you used smartflash you can't be on cm7 anymore. There must have been an error during process and flash had abort before the end.
Just redo it, and be sure you phone was correctly detected.
And try eventually nvflash to come back to stock ROM. See dedicated threads.
I used the link provided by nundoo and it worked. Thanks for all your suggestions!
Striatum_bdr, I didn't do anything to the phone with smart flash because I couldn't start the process (the button was grayed out and I couldn't select a COM port). Thanks anyways!

Help with my Galaxy Note

Hi, I beg you for help. I have updated my ROM ginger to ICS N7000XXLPY_N7000OXALPY_DBT. The next step I took was to wipe my mobile through CWM. I was trying to install android stock ROM but the setup stops at the very beginning (N7000XXLC1_N7000OXALC1_OXA, N7000ZSLPF_N7000OZSLPF_OZS <= these are ROMs which I have tried to install). Below there is a screen with the installation process and its end because there is no progress. I have tried to upload boot files (N7000_APBOOT_N7000ZSLPF_CL558430_REV02_user_low_ship.tar) but it didn't work either. While mobile is turning on there is an information which says that I should communicate with KIES.
Please anyone to tell me which ROM needs to be used and what files are needed in order my mobile to work properly.

Now this is exactly the same place where I am also stuck by using PC Odin .. but i am installing GB ROM KL1_KL3 (India version).
Please help guys ..
Ok, Try to get a stock GB firmware and flash it WITHOUT pit files and repatition and bootloader update and see if it improves, If it doesnt, you may need to flash the patched pit files which are for recovering bricked notes.
How this you get like this ? What was your previous set up ? Did you have ICS ? Did you do a full wipe ?

You mean stock CWM ?
if yes then that was biggest mistake you did.
It seems you became victim of super brick bug
Man this is the 3rd or 4th of these I've seen today..
Sorry but the good Dr is right, It would appear you have turned your device into a paperweight - but hopefully have warranty..
If not then there is still hope, albeit not the most ideal option..
Please people Read, read and read again, before flashing Research is the best way to avoid this... If you want to ask a question then ask, if you feel like a n00b so what, We've all been there...
This forum is filled with good guys and gals who will help out with anything, It's just a shame that the questions seem to come too late....
Good luck man...

[Q] <Optimus Black KU5900 CWM Recovery Problem>

Hello!!
I've recently updated my phone to Official ICS (Korean Ver.) V30I and I had problems installing the recovery.
I could root my phone, its just that I can't install the recovery. I know there are already modified ICS Korean Ver. for p970 but there are still a lot of bugs and battery life is kind a shorter than the official ics.
First, I've used rom manager to install but after boot, ""security error"" came up at boot and cannot even start.
Second, I've also tried using other methods such as programs made by OB devs but still the same problem.
So I would like to ask, if anyone out there has this problem and any solutions to this, please reply.
Have a nice day and thanx.!!

Don't use ROM Coverter! It doesn't put the different bin parts correctly with such a large bin file.
If your using V30I then I'm assuming you have KU5900. Use novasoc's lg extractor to extract the bin file, patch the various .bin files together in numerical order. You can then use novasoc's recovery injector to patch the bin file. Patch with SFT and voila.

I have 2.2 Froyo... Need help

Hello, I'd like to update my phone using Smartflash.
I have an official V20B rom which is rooted. I would like to install a new official rom but i'm completely lost when it comes to choosing the right version !
Where can I get the official V20S stock rom (which can be installed with smartflash)
Also, is there any official ICS rom ? (same, for smartflash), if so, is it fully stable ? Where can I get it ? (LG Mobile update says my phone is up to date... Huh)(I have read that you need to change the boot partition or something like that with ICS roms, is it valid for official ICS roms from LG too ?).
Do I have to unroot my phone before installing a new rom with Smartflash ?
Thanks.

1. Make sure that you have P990.
2. V20B should be a gingerbread.
3. If you read one post below yours, you could’ve find exactly what you ask official ICS for smartflash.
Cheers.

I will update via LG Tools with the kdz instead of smartflash. Is there anything to do specifically to keep my data in the phone or is it saved automatically in the LG Tools update process ?

I think updating via LG Tool doesn't erase data on your phone... however I would strongly advise you to synchronize your contacts with gmail and backing up you apps with titanium backup in an external sd card.

Best Rom to solve My problems

Hi,
I have since Fev. 2012, a optimus black, but since the beginning I have problems with him.
Before, I was unable to take pictures, because every pictures I took was corrupted.
Since I upgrade to V30b, this problem was solved, but now, sometimes the message: The SD card was removed apears, and I need to reboot the phone. I installed Beyondpod to ear pod casts and all the downloaded pod casts file, after 1 day were corrupted (files with names like:┬▬¶, before the photos were the same names).
This week the phone blinked non stop, I needed remove the batery, and all settings were reserted.
Now I think my battery drains so fast, I had reserted all settings to factory defaults and now the phone is working, bus Podcasts no.
I´m sick of this phone. I wants some custom rom to see if the phone improve.
Can anyone please can help me?
Please give me the information about witch Custom ROM is better. (fast, clean, battery, in all aspects)
Tanks a lot for the help.
Sorry my bad English

If it's a rooted v20 (GB) just install ROM Manager from play store and maybe first try a Marvel12b, 11 or even 10 ... where you get a touch 5 CWM recovery with it. Than you probably have the best base you can get to install any ROM.zip from.

I heard there is one way to install a CWM on v30, but normaly you only brick your phone when you try to get a CWM on v30. Look for unlock U boot.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2160394
yeah, this is a way, but cwm 6 have bug sdcard unmounted, use recovery.img 5.xx.xx on this case.
IMHO, if you have SFT, it's safe to flash with Preinstallation for IZS ROM (SmartFlash): includes Smartflash and latest LG USB drivers =>
http://huexxxtuff.blogspot.com.es/2013/01/izs-rom-links.html
you should have, ics rooted and cwm on one shot. after you can make nandroid backup and test all custom rom you want.
original thread => http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2115800
Case C: you already are on a new ICS rom without CWM
Quote:
- If you want, use OnlineNandroid to do a nandroid backup of your phone, I'm not responsible of your data losing
- Use Smartflash to completely flash (.bin and .fls) a V20 ROM patched with CWM with V30 baseband (you can

Now I am confused.
There is any tutorial to help me install the rom?
I am a newbie in this matters. I had a Galaxy tab 7 (p1000), and in that time I did install some roms, but time pass, and now I´m super confused.
I read several thing but, you gave me different solutions and I don´t now how to do.
I think the best rom (following your´s advise), is the MARVEL.
I found this: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1554274
And I choose the last: Marvel v G based on Ice Cream Sandwich 4.0.4 v 30d France - deodexed and zipalligned
Following the instructions of the link, I only need do this:
1. You will need a rooted Optimus Black and boot in CWM Recovery or use ROM Manager.
2. Copy the zip file in SDCard.
3. Install zip file.
This is correct?
I need to root the boot? How can I confirm is I have a rooted boot?
SaschaKH gave me this link: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2160394
Can I use this instructions to root the boot?
For all operations I need the CWM.Can i install in play store? I found the ClockworkMod (ROM MANAGER) free version. Can I use this version?
Exist also the Rom Manager Premium, for what I need, the free version is OK or I need the pay version?
To finish: What is:
1- SFT?
2 - deodexed and zipalligned?
Thank a lot for all the help.
Sorry for this questions, I want to learn more about this world, and I´m starting. I count with you guys.
Thanks a lot.
Once again sorry for all my questions and my bad English. (I´m Learning English too)

You didn't read it well. It says to root your phone and to boot to CWM. The thing with U-boot is to get rid of the locked bootloader wich gives you an LG Security Error if you install any alternative recovery.
You can follow the instructions given but I didn't try it myself.
What I found easier is to do as NOOBY wrote in his tutorial : flash a V20 patched rom (Gingerbread stock rom rooted and with CWM), like that you'll only have to do the wipes required in CWM and then flash Marvel Rom - which of course you put on your sdcard -.
SFT (= SmartFlashTool, for flashing a firmware easily)
Btw to use that tool you need of course our phone's drivers installed.

Yes it is what I did.
Is any other way to install CMW?
Even in the tutorial said: "Then you need to install CWM (Clock Work Mod), you can do this e.g. by downloading ROM Manager, install it, open it
and find Install Clockwork Mod Recovery. Hit it, wait some seconds and click LGE optimus Black. Wait again, till the file has been downloaded and installed and your all set Now you can reboot into Recovery, with the second option. It says, what it does: Reboot to recovery"
But I tried also reboot using the option "Reboot to recovery" and the phone reboot and reset with factory defaults.
How can I use other way?
Thanks
In the tutorial it says that for Gingerbread rom.
I don't remember if it is in Ilko or NOOBY's thread but you should use SFT to flash a patched Gingerbread rom. Since it is rooted and with CMW, it may be easier to you for flashing another rom from that.

Back on track.
I made it. I installed the Marvel G, but my problem still maintains (I use BeyondPod) and in the podcast folder appears a lot of corrupt files), I don´t see any change from stock ROM, but I think this is the objective of this ROM.
But now I am ready and prepared to install all ROMS I Want using the CMW, and install from zip file.
I will continue testing some ROMS.
Witch ROM do you recomend? I don´t need fancy style or other complicated thing, I just need what a stable, low consumption batery, and fast thing.
Once again thanks a lot for the help
