[Q] Phone bricked, Just a simple request (PLEASE) - LG Optimus 4X HD

Hello everyone,
I had to format /system to install a custom rom. The installation aborted so I don't have any os on the phone now.
I can still acess to cwm recovery but not to the download mod (so forget about flashing .kdz). I tried flashing other roms without sucess.
Could someone send me his cwm backup so I could restore to it ? Or just a link for the stock european rom in the format .zip (so I can flash it by cwm ?)
Thanks

you can bring the phone in S/W Upgrade mode?

CWM v6.0.2.8
I can't access to s/w upgrade mod because when I press power and down volume button CWM appears instead.
I think I were v20 ause I were on jellybean

Did you try system recovery in official update tool?

this. don't push power button. hold vol - button, and plug in the usb (you don't even need to remove the battery most of the time)

Thanks guys you were right. Now I'm in S/W upgrade mod. What should I do ?

I am trying to flash kdz file with lg flash tool. Now the device is recognized. I Hope it will work

I flashed the stock firmware and it works !
Thank you very much !!!!

cool!
next move is to root-it and instal CWM 6.0.3.1.
and after that you are free to go with custom roms...
good look!

New reboot into Recovery!

Hello.
If you phone is briked and not rebooting. But you flash any Recvoery. Then they must do:
1. Power Off LG Optimus Black
2. Power on
3. Quickly press: Volume Down
4. PROFIT!!!
Worked on any ROM
I think that you first need to flash erecovery or grecovery

True that, should only work, if g- or e-recovery is included in the ROM... If not, there also wont be a boot into cwm, but you mostly can try adb reboot recovery from your PC
Yeah, the easiest is using adb, in my case, i use qtadb, the best, in my opinion
Hum,
I've used this method on my own ROM, on which i didn't integrated e-recovery or g-recovery
(And even on very stock with CWM)

Nope, official CM7 has this function, and it doesn't have g/e-recovery. So I think all the others cm7 based also have it.

It is work on ANY ROM.
If you did't instal g/e-recovery, then it is WORK!

[Q] a little help with flashing

Morning all, i am having a problem flashing any ROM via CWM. I have obtained root and my bootloader is unlocked (both the hidden menu and whilst in s/w download mode confirm this) also i have cwm recovery running with unsecure boot img, the problem is when i flash anything (from my external sd) all i get is bootloops! Is it possible i have missed something?
Thanks for your time guys!

1. make a backup (on external SD)
2. wipe data/factory reset
3. wipe cache
4. advanced >> wipe dalvik cache
5. flash ROM

What about your CWM version? The latest is 6.0.3.1. Incorrect version results in disasters
Sent from my Optimusx4 using Tapatalk 2
@tomkasz forgot to say i do a complete data wipe before flashing! Didn't clear my dalvik before (thanks for pointing that out mate!) @hernest my current version is 6.0.2.8, so im guessing i need to update my recovery? If so can i just use the clockworkMod app from google play and do it that way?
Am i right in thinking that because im on v20a at the moment that i need to flash a JB ROM? Or can i flash an ICS without having to downgrade via KDZ first?
Thanks for your help guys!

In order to flash ICS you have to use LG Flash Tool. There is a thread on xda showing how to do it step by step.

Your Recovery version is the culprit, then. Just install ROM Manager via Play Store and update your recovery to the latest version. Your life will be much easier in terms of flashing ROM.
To roll back to stock ICS from JB is quite a task and can't be done by simply flashing ICS based ROM. There's a thread on general section dedicated to this topic, you might want to do some research before doing so. Like the previous post said, there are no fully compatible ICS based custom ROM. Anyway, I think this device is much better in JB. Why would you revert back?

what did you do to gain recovery again?
Try using the apk from here to install TWRP - http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2190936
Then reboot to that recovery and flash the XZ Dual Recovery zip available in [NUT]'s thread.
Finally, you should follow instructions carefully next time you install a rom. It clearly says to flash the dual recovery zip after flashing the rom and before rebooting

I tried ZXRecovery and it installed but it's not booting into recovery to flash the NUT one, just rebooting the phone.
i guess i am gonna have to go back to stock, re-root, re-flash the rom and flash the recovery before rebooting
that's what i get for not paying attention to details.
thnx anyway buddy i appreciate it.:good:

was it GB or ICS when you bought the phone for the first time ? if it was GB , thats mean your bootlader is old and maybe you tried to flash newbootlader supported rom cm10.2
try option 4 in AIO (repartition layout and bootlader) then you should select new bootlader. after that you can flash any newbl custom rom like cm10.2, cm11 ect.

So repartition the phone with one option in aio again to get clear phone and install any rom for oldbootloader
Or make a screenshot of the error and i see what is wrong

I access to the stock recovery, apply the update from sd card and after selecting the approppiate file cwm appears on screen, but when you access again to recovery, goes to stock one. ¿Anybody can help me?

Well, to get to stock recovery, download XXLK1 firmware anywhere. And restore with Odin. Make sure you put files in right places. And install back CM11 with latest nightly with CWM 6.0.5.3. It should work for now. You'll be fine after install but don't forget install Galaxy Y MODEM after installed CM11. It's bug on our CM11 if you don't install, we can't boot without install it. If you know this already, just leave it.
