My O2x self bricked after an OTA update (from 10b if I recall correctly). I did not prior to this event flash any other ROM or BB, I just rooted it and everything was working fine. The update downloaded, said it was ready to update, the phone rebooted and then just locked up on "updating software". My friend has an identical P990 and everything went well for him...
I had to reflash the whole phone using USB cable in recovery mode by downloading the 10b stock firmware. After this, the phone won't update itself and if I manually click on the software update it says it's up to date, while my friend received the latest update to 10d. Currently my phone (unbranded) is:
BB v 622 (1035.21_20110622)
kernel 2.6.32.9
Build FRG83G
LGE version LGP990-V10b
Additionally I installed clockworkmod (after bricking) to backup all my phone and then reflashed the stock recovery partition that I found online. Also, I currently can no longer list any "secured" apps from the Android marketplace.
I'd like to bring my phone back to stock situation (which I thought it was) so I downloaded the latest stock (10d) in kdz format from the lg site but before wiping everything again I'd like to know what the hell is going on with my phone and why I see no secured apps and why I get no OTA updates... maybe I can avoid reflashing the phone from scratch.
Thanks for any pointers!
The version of the baseband you are using does not match with the V10B firmware. The update tool then believes you have another firmware version installed.
Thanks for the heads up! What version of baseband should I be using? Or would it be better for me to downgrade the rom? Quicker to change BB I reckon...
i think it is 405 you need to use with 10b
I tried searching for the 405BB but couldn't find it... only the 622 or 725 apparently - does anyone have any link to download the BB aligned to the v10b ROM?
here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1008070
I flashed 405BB but when I went to download OTA updates it said it wasn't a valid update package after it downloaded it and quit. To fix it I completely flashed stock 10a and did all the updates until 10d and now it has BB 1035.21_20110725.
I have my data.img partition saved with CWM but before restoring it and wiping the stock recovery for CWM I'd like to save it: anyway I can make an img out of the stock recovery partition of this version for safety with adb? As it pulls or pushes files or apks, I was wondering if there was a utility to create a partition image of the stock recovery and save that... I found a stock recovery img but I don't know if the image is up to date with this version (10d).
Thanks for the help!
I just updated my phone to GB version 20b Singapore starhub rom,rooted and I found my apps and framework under system file is odex.
So my question is....
1)How do I deodex it?
2)I found all the custom rom and theme is deodex,if I install deodex custom rom/theme over my odex,will I get a bootloop?
Well,to let you guys know I just flash modaco GR4 rom and deodex theme...resulting a bootloop but I manage to see a boot animation,after that is bootloop...so it's that normal?!
Lastly can I install Paul's v20l-stock-rooted-deodex.zip file?If so,will my version will be v20l instead of v20b?

http://www.droidforums.net/forum/xeudoxus/47283-release-xultimate.html Not sure it's good for O2X.

Flash any custom ROM, they are all deodexed except if clearly precised. Mostly Paul's ROM are available in odex versions for those who don't want to customize.
If you flash a 20L, you'll have ......20L.
Make a good factory reset in CWM, maybe twice before flashing new ROM, and perhaps reformat /system /data and /cache to be sure.
P.S: a google search is sometimes more fast than asking here ;-)

Thanks for the answer Striatum.
I've try the 1st one xultimate,but get an error in LGE video player when deodexing,not sure what is the error.

Well,I've flash Rebuild of Official Italian/European v20l Gingerbread Update from Hell_97 and it's work perfectly.
Ohh..I also copy my original build.prop file and paste it to rebuild one,and guest what...my rom version now is v20b!
Just for my curiosity, why do you absolutely need a 20b version?

To keep the overview, here the place where you can find all the stock ICS builds made by me.
Flashable CWM versions available (no full wipe required) as well es NVFlash versions (full wipe only).
The CWM versions can only be installed by those already running new unlocked bootloader + CWM.
Essential update November 16:
New NVFlash versions (v28E & v28G) are available.
New features:
fixed bootloader, so Smartflash will work again for everyone
CMW Recovery 6, no more too big font in CWM, also no more /cache errors
fixing sizes of recovery partition and boot partition
NO full wipe required!! New NVFlash version can backup your /data partition and restore later (Internal SD will still be wiped!)
Noob-secure flashing process. Telling the user exactly what to do and asks for confirmation before doing anything.
Stock LG ICS content for internal SD card can be flashed as well (user is asked) - gives some extra music, apps, videos
No more deodexed version. I think odexed works best.
Google Now (Online-version) preinstalled, still about 25 MB free space in /system partition
additional widgets from SU660 preinstalled
the new installation scripts are available for both Windows and Linux (tested by me extensively)
Windows APX driver included (for Linux not needed)
some minor things. A custom kernel by me will come as soon as we get the final kernel sources!
New CWM ZIPs are available as well! Please be aware that they do not upgrade bootloader (=fix of Smartflash Bug), CWM (from 5 to 6) or fix partition sizes for boot and recovery partition (were too small, could cause problems lateron). Only NVFlash version does that. So you might prefer to, as a one-time-upgrade, use NVFlash version. You can, with the new NVFlash versions, backup and restore your /data partition, so your settings and apps won't be lost. Only Internal SD will still be wiped.
The new ICS builds are available in download folder, in subfolder "Second Generation ROMs (improved, recommended)".

Deodexed version of v28G also includes some more widgets (those from the Addon-packages).
You have to read the installation instructions on NVFlash versions and CWM versions in this thread here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1986097 (installation procedures are explained in first post).

Now I'll go buying something to eat and then I'll make the deodexed versions of v28G
And I'm gonna head for CWM 28G version. A million thx Stefan!! :good:
Update. ....and it of course works well! Thanks!
i know it's a noob question but.. why the kdz is obvious bigger(size) than your rom?
and one more question.. can you replace the logo in the bootloader with lg original one?

Because of the high compression I chose for the archives! Sometimes compression works more effective, sometimes not.
You can believe me that I ONLY removed demo videos (~26 MB) and the Rom updater app and the LG remote controlling app (both together about 2-5 MB or something).
Thanx a ton for your rom Stefan.... its amazing.... can you brief about the advantages of the new V28G over the older version, is it highly recommended to upgrade to the newer one....??

So far I can tell you it has got a new kernel and many updated apps and binaries. I don't know the exact changes though. But upgrade of course is highly recommended! You can make an upgrade without full wipe from my v28E version.
A millions thanks Stefan, downloading now v28g flasheable zip, you're best.
Can someone confirm if smartflash is working with the new bootloader...?? I tried to flash the new V28G baseband but was unable to get the phone in software upgrade mode....
Try to enter smartflash with battery inserted

Smartflash is working again!!!!!
I'm at v28G NVFlash version currently. I just flashed v28G BB with Smartflash.
Can somebody please try if it works for CWM version v28G as well??
If NOT, then you will just have to install the updated recovery image with different CWM. I will soon provide it. I'm not sure yet if the NVFlash bug is related to recovery.img.

The kdz contains multiple images and the baseband. it's not only system image. the kdz contains system.img as well which has the same size.
Might be a silly question, but can anyone tell me, in few words, what the difference is between LGP990_ICS_v28G_Stock_NewBL_Root_CWM_initd_NVFlash.7z
and
LGP990_ICS_v28G_Stock_Root_initd_4CWM-NewBL_NoFullwipe.zip ?
I just want something stock with maximum smoothness, I don't care about flashing new stuff and all that
which is the better ?
-rebuild the phone (install all program and everything) from startup ( nvflash )
-v28e --> cwm --> v28g ?
i wan't a stable, smooth, good working rom without any issue
Are you Angel sent by God for 2x user??
and buddy.. can you replace the logo in unlocked bootloader with original lg one?

why not flashing v28g directly with NVFlash?
if you are on my v28e already you can use CWM of course
Hi everyone. I have a LG Optimus Black and I need to take it to service. Because I root-ed and installed custom rom I need to go back to stock version. I have a little problem because my computer doesn't recognize the phone anymore so I can't use smartflash. Does anyone of you know another way to return to stock version? Can I flash stock trough CWM? I need v10b. Your help would be greatly appreciated. Have a nice evening and thank you for your answers!
try to change usb port, not usb 3.0 but on usb 2.0 in SW mode for able to use SFT
I already tried that. I even tried a different computer. Does no one have a stock version that I could flash trough CWM? Even if it is ICS ore something like that. Thanks a lot anyway!
with lg Tools maybe, LGMobile Update (B2C), support, recovery phone.

you do realize that flashing even a stock rom through cwm will still not make the phone "stock". you'd still have cwm installed and need to get rid of that. try flashing a kdz instead...

His post stated he has a problem with his USB. Flashing kdz or files in SmartFlash is not an option.
The link posted above is not a regular "stock" ROM. It's a project that contains stock "recovery.img" inside the zip. Like what was discussed here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2224465
It is the same adding the unlocked bootloader together with the recovery http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2160394 on a flashable zip or any .img on a certain partition.
Code:
package_extract_file("x-loader.img", "/dev/block/mmcblk0p1");
package_extract_file("u-boot.img", "/dev/block/mmcblk0p2");
package_extract_file("boot.img", "/dev/block/mmcblk0p3");
package_extract_file("recovery.img", "/dev/block/mmcblk0p4");
Hi, i was thinking of updating my LG 2X from froyo to ICS. It is currently running CM7 and the previous stock rom was froyo. If i am not wrong the standard procedure is to use AIO (all in one) tool kit and flash kdz. I also understand that ICS uses a different partition layout. So is it okay for me to flash the V30B_00.kdz straight? I am guess it does the partitioning for me? Just wanted to be sure before proceeding. Many thanks in advanced.
