Hi all.
I have LG Optimus 2X that needs to be fixed. It's not my phone and I'm not quite familiar with all these developing stuff so I would need some starter guide
My friend (who owns the phone) tried to update it, connected it to PC and started update but phone got stuck at SW upgrade and I can't even get to recovery. Can you please give me some advice? Thanks in advance!

Can you please give me some link? I don't know what sould I look for.
Sorry for bothering you like that.
First do a hard reset. Power button+ volume down button hold together
If hard reset doesn't work
Then,
download the AIO tookit from here http://www.playallatonce.com/toolkit/
install it and install drivers present in AIO toolkit
then download the ics stock rom from here http://d-h.st/users/gueste/?fld_id=7432#files
install it using nvflash method from toolkit

though your last post was perfect for a noob......just wanted to correct something with this post...
NVflash of a stock ROM does not automatically root it....we have to root it using a rooting method...for example spyrosk's All In One Tool kit
Thanks

I downloaded everything and managed to enter recovery, but can you tell me how can I flash stock rom that i downloaded on the phone? Which option in AIO toolkit should I use? I don't have microSD card, is it possible to do everything via PC?

root is root. as long as you have root and CWM you can flash Gingervolt no problem.

If that is the root method you used, you do not have cwm recovery yet. You either need to run the newest version i posted earlier (yes it is ok to run the root.bat even if you already have root!), use RevoToolkit, or install manually. Then you can install the rom.
Ok I'm going to go do that now . I'm going to use the revotoolkit. So basically what that tool kit does is allow you to install custom roms? I hope that ginger volt can speed my phones processes up. I really don't want to ask for another htc device and my only two choices to swap for was the charge and this phone. Ugh I'm so frustrated...
ok so used revtoolkit and installed it and then downloaded the gingervlt zip file to my sd card. i rebooted the phone while pressing the power and vol down key an it came up w a screen asking if i wanted to erase everything. i watched a youtube vid that said to proceed with that and nothing would be erased and it did erase everything. how do i get into that screen to exract that zip file?

The root method you used is out dated and does not remove the files to make clockwork stick. Reuse revotoolkit to reinstall cwm, after confirmed to have worked, while still in revotoolkit press menu and hit reboot recovery.

ok i reinstalled the cwm and when i click on the reboot option the screen on the phone is on but blank. am i missing something?
so if i use the all in one package root and unroot method you posted in the other board i should be able to install the rom i want without all the problems im having now?

Whats some rom? Be more precise please. You ll always be able to unbrick it using smartflash. But maybe you should simply use an unrooted rom... just use b2c tool and the option emergency recovery. And then first read, what you have to do, what it does and which kind of results you will be confronted with, then try again.
Dont mean to flame, but it seems you already did it wrong twice...

have you already tried using G-recovery?
I think you can do it in Marvel ROM, you just have to start pressing for a few times the G button while booting

Worked like charm. Thank you!
Hello, i just bought an LG Optimus 2x p-990, the first thing i did was updating to official ICS, but similar to my previous phone, i cant stand the stock rom and wanted to flash a custom one (havnt decided yet witch rom i want). After some trouble i finally rooted my phone, but now im stuck at trying to flash a new recovery. When i try flashing it through rom manager it says the device hast an official recovery yet, and when i try flashing this (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1098745) (note: i have usb debugging on and when i run it super user notifys that was given permision to shell) the cmd prompt opens for some seconds and closes again, and when i try to boot into recovery it goes to the stock recovery that wipes my phone.
Maybe this has been answered in here but believe me when i say i searched for the answer extensivly.
Hope i can get some help.
make it simple,install rom manager then install recovery..
I explained that i can not do it. ROM manager says the device is not listed and when i try to manually install the recovery it says permission denied.
Download and install nvflash driver(often called ATX) and install it. Then dl AIO all in one tool,from there you can install Cwm(can also be nvflashed) You can't use rom manager as it's not compatible with the new bootloader and partition table

So we need a bunch of informations from you.
Which Bootloader are you on
Which sd Format is it (GB or ICS)
Have you Root
Is Your Bootloader unlocked.
it is ICS i think. i have came from ICS 4.0.4 to MIUI's rom.
Yes its rooted.
Don't know whether my bootloader is unlocked or not.
When i install a new rom after performing necessary wipes and reboot, it comes back to Xiaomi logo and MIUI's rom start but its apps and processes stop every second.
The installation of new roms that i flash says success but on rebooting MIUI comes even after installing roms.
i use CWM 6.0.2.5.
Tell me what other information you want.

You must unbrick the phone, if you came form ICS you have new boot and that MIUI with new bootload and cm7 works with oldboot.

Well no... but you if you are on ICS Bootloader you cant install an rom based on GB Bootloader and vice versa.
ALWAYS Check in the rom description which Bootloader is it for. Some rom´s even need to flash an own CWM Recovery File to get it work Propperly.

If you want to put cm7, you must to change bootload, and for that you must unbrick.
for unbrick followe this great senior .. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1715272
that will unbrick your phone, .. after you can install a stock GB via smartflash or the ics.. you choose!
good luck
Uh, unbrick? Why is all this unbrick talk going on here, he says that his phone isn't bricked, so there's no need for that.
Are you able to boot into cwm by pressing vol down while powering on the phone? If yes, just flash the desired rom if you know which bootloader you are on.
Else, if you are not sure of bootloader, use aio toolkit. Download toolkit, install nvflash drivers in that, then select option 4, and follow the process. Select old/gingerbread bootloader when asked, and cwm version of your choice. Then put a Rom in sd card and flash in recovery.

Hey Rugglez.
But the process is the same for what muditj14 wants to do, am I wrong?. I never said it was brick. What I meant was that in order to change the boot, he must pass for process of "unbrick".
Perhaps the definition of exchange boot is not being the right one by me and I apologize if that induce someone into error.

Hey mate, what you said isnt a wrong method, but I just suggested AIO toolkit method because its so much simpler and less time consuming. Ultimately, the end result may be the same, but spyrosk has made the toolkit so user friendly that even someone without knowing anything about NVFlash can easily use it. It installs the required drivers by itself with the click of a button, and shows step by step selection of which bootloader, partition size, recovery etc. to flash, and is very safe to use
Hello. I want to ask you how to return from New bootloader to the old bootloader. Im trying AIO tollkit with option 4, I connect device and press enter and it shows "aborted". APX drivers installed and other options from AIO toolkit working well.Please help me and sorry for my english
Hi, i used this http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1975274 which flashes your phone back to GB and installs cm10 and recovery, then download and flash the rom of your choice.
download tool, extract then run the flash.bat file, turn of phone and remove battery, then hold both vol+ and vol- wait a bit then press enter and NVflash should activate the phone and up/downgrade it.
Thnx bro ! )
