Please HELP ! Bricked phone ! - LG Optimus 2x

I tried flashing a Stock ROM with smart flash, coming from CM10.1, in the middle of the flashing process, my phone unplugged from the computer... I heard the sound from windows saying the USB device got unplugged, but I did'nt even touch the phone...
Now, when I plug the phone in USB, while holding VOL -, I can't enter S/W UPDATE mode anymore... I does nothing. I just here the windows sound saying I plugged an USB device. :crying::crying:
The phone doesn't boot at all with the battery in... nothing.
What to do ?

You can hear the windows sound. That means windows is detecting your phone. OK, do this. Start Smartflash process again. Insert your battery back immediately when flashing process starts. It should then go fine.

Since my phone can't boot into S/W UPGRADE mode anymore, smartflash doesn't see it... nor my computer. But, after trying to plug it in my computer holding VOL - et VOL + KEYS, my computer detected it as NVIDIA USB BOOT RECOVERY !
Is there any possibility to unbrick it from this point ?
Thanks for your precious help !!

Ok, I got it back to life using NVFLASH !

Bricked p970

Hellow!
Today i have a Custom Rom to my Black.
But when i flash this, and press reboot in CWM the mobile turn of, and never never can turn on again.
I tried presisng vol. Up, but doesn't working.
Any ideas?
are you sure that ROM is for the Optimus Black? where did you get it from?
Is a SuperTeam ROM.
but in other way.. rom's can't kill mobiles...
Send me the link for the ROM.
http://db.tt/DNETBI5
No wonder it's not booting, you flashed a ROM that is not adjusted to P970.
I suggest you follow the repair tutorial (connect USB while holding volume up and without battery - you don't need the power button).
It should work. If it doesn't, well, you should go switch it at the store.
This rom is maked to p970! I'm SURE!
Other problem, for understand this.
Now when plug USB / AC to my black, doesn't appear battery caharging image, screen is black, and twho hours ago when y conect mobile(turned off) in screen apears a battery, but not now.
Now, you understrand more?

The ROM is made for P970 but it's not adjusted to it.
There's a difference.
Try this:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=14570674&postcount=21
Isn't perfect, i know, but i don't know why when I flashed my p970 dies.
I tried ALL tutorials in XDA or other forums but the problems is.. that i can't turn on mobile in S/W Upgrade mode, you know?
I press and conect via USB but p970 do nothing!
It is very strange. Are you sure that you're doing it right? It is so easy.. Remove the battery, but don't insert it again. Without the battery you press vol up button and connect the computer to the device at the same time you press it.. You'll see s/w update screen
You thing that I'm idiot, no?
Sorry.. but i tried more than 20 times this combination.
Tried Vol. Down + Power too... and nothing works.
The only way is going to store, nah?
Yes I think you are. Someone that isn't able to just press vol up while connecting pc-lg without battery, that ask others to try a rom that bricked his own phone and that is talking about combinations and power when the only combination is vol up while connecting the device ... sorry but you'r not thinking right
Well try again.
Quit battery -> Done
Press Vol. Up + Conect to PC -> Done
What hapen? Nothing!
Do you have the lg mobile support tool and lg p970 drivers installed?
Okay, I cannot boot into s/w update and no battery charging indicator.
I haven't other solutions!
It's bricked mate, you have to switch it.
You don't have to have the battery out to do this.
I bricked my phone by accidently uninstalling the launcher without having another and i did this method with the battery in and it worked fine. You have to have the LG Mobile software installed though.
I accidentally uninstalled the launcher as well. And the phone is bricked. Did i happen to find a solution to that ?

[Q] Still have the stock rom, why did my phone stuck?

Hi, first of all I must say that I never used any custom rom or flushed my phone yet. I still use the stock rom provided by LG. So I was typing a text a message today and suddenly phone locked and I couldn't do anything. I clicked power button and pressed again to get the main screen but some part of the screen was total black and some part was just fine(still I can't do anything btw). So I just pressed power button longer to close; I could close it but then when I tried to boot, I just got stuck at LG logo and it's still the same(30 minutes passed!!!). How about that? What should I do?
Remove battery.
Wait 10 seconds.
Then put battery back and turn it on again.
I just did it; over 3 minutes passed and it's still stuck at LG logo!!
my advice alhough i have not worked with lg phones would be to reinstall the stock rom. i am unsure from your post if you were using a custom rom when this happened when you bot the phone if its like the htc phones you can hold the voldown and power buttons to get into what is essentially the bios of the phone i hope this helps

Then, connect the phone to the usb in a windows computer.
Run the LGMobile Update tool.
Go to the menu Customer Support/Recovery Phone
Follow the instructions there.
I connected the device via USB and opened the Recovery Mode in lg mobile update tool, but it doesn't recognize my device. I already installed usb drivers and they were working correctly couple of days ago. What else I could do? Any help would be appreciated...
hi! How about hard reset?

Well, it seems like I have to do one, because I fell that it'll never come back so where should I begin for a hard reset?
Remove battery
Put it back
Hold Volume Up.
While holding, plug in USB cable to computer.
Your screen should say S/W Upgrade.
Run LGMobile Update.

I did exactly what you said. It could successfully update the phone, it's still stuck at lg boot logo. So the next thing I should do is a hard reset?
After what you did, it could take a few minutes to start, that is normal after rom changes.
I'm not aware of a 'hard reset' for the P970, beyond what you did.
I think this could be an indication of a hardware failure.

Phone Wont Turn on. At all!

So I upgraded to V20B last night through the LG PC SUITE, and it was working fine. This morning, the phone had random lines through the screen. So i read that i should go back to V10, so i plugged phone into the computer to enter s/w mode. Then the computer wouldnt recognize it in LG Flash Tools or KDZ_FW_UPD. So i removed the battery, and now i cannot get into s/w mode. The phone will not turn on at all! No recovery, No LG Logo, NOTHING!!
PLEASE HELP!
THANKS
try pulling your battery and reinsert. Sometimes this happened to me that the screen was black and i couldn't do anything till i pulled the battery.
maybe your batteries empty ?
try putting out your battery, insert usb and hold volume down to get to sw mode then reinsert battery.

Well... why you don't try, without battery, press vol- and connect to PC.
If you get in S/W Mode, put the battery back and reflash. If Not, try again
with the battery on, to get in S/W Mode.
Its very wierd that the phone just don't "answer"

I tried those suggestions, but nothing works. Screen does not show anything or even flicker.. I tried flashing kdz, tried lg recovery..
Is there any way to force the kdz without being in s/w mode?
In my condition, sometime removing battery to get to s/w upgrade mode worked, but sometime it won't. When that's happened, I try to get s/w upgrade mode with battery in my phone, and worked. And another thing, use usb 2.0 on your pc/laptop, don't use usb 3.0, it will never worked.

[Q] O2X not detectable on PC and Cannot access to Recovery mode

Hi!
My phone is no longer detectable on my PC via USB (Win7 and Linux), with adb or nvflash with vol+ + vol- or vol- + power or anything.
This problem come from the last official stock update, like what, it's crazy. And no access to hidden menu, etc.
Then, after, trying to solve this problem by applying http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1981359, by using Rom Manager to replace TWRP by CWM recovery (I know, it's very bad idea...), now my phone don't want to boot in recovery mode, I probably corrupt my system.
Now I have a brick, which can boot and display "S/W Upgrade Please wait while upgrading..." with vol down, but no usb IPX mode or adb or anything (to be sure, I try with another android phone, and work perfectly).
In normal boot, I have LG logo, then rom logo (an X in color), and no change, this animation continue but no end.
I had try many usb cable, reinstall lg drivers and nvidia drivers, different pc and os...
Can we restore recovery mode with special scheme, file, on a sdcard only by boot the phone?
I'm very interested in any ideas that can unlock me.
A big thank you to the community!

Yes, this script only call nvflash with predefined parameters.
My phone is not detectable by nvflash or adb, that is why it doesn't work.
Peace. :highfive too
I had a weird brick with my 2x too, after flashing a wrong rom and it was not working at all
So I decided to remove the battery and use a spare one I had in my stuff, and the phone turned on, and when i turned it off again I could reuse nvflash to get back to stock
Did you try something like that, or only charrging the phone for a few hours to see if comes back ?

I don't try another battery, but I have charging the phone with the official lg charger during 4 days, and nothing... This why I asked if we can boot or reconfigure with a "magic" sdcard...
Thanks,

Remove battery.
Press and hold volume- key.
Connect USB cable.
Still press volume- key.
Release when you see screen says "S/W" download.
Insert battery back.
If it worked use smartflash to flash a rom. If the screen still black, then you should try it on another pc. There is no way to screw up the nvflash mode with a bad flash or anything. Keep in mind that keys can be unresponsive during the years. It is realy hard to set my phone to nvflash mode since my volumkeys are unresponsive. I have to press them so hard that my phone nearly break in to half.
If it still not works change usb cable. Check the device manager for devices with a ! in a yellow triangle. If you see that you have some kind of driver issues. If all of these fails to revive your phone, then your phone is dead.

Thank you!
unfortunately it doesn't work, try with a new pc and a new cable... no change. My usb slot in my p990 is probably dead. what is infuriating is the rest works well.
Did you use fast charge with any ROM ?
USB fast charge can damage the USB connector
Did you try using the method to check if the device connects to computer with nvflash, since it does not require battery ?
Try checking this and if the USB connection broke you can send your device to a repair shop to replace it, or even search ebay, aliexpress and etc to find spare parts, and if you do so, I recommed get an extra battery (non original batteries are cheap)
good luck

That is probably a myth.
Try to use a very short usb cable and use the ports on the backside of the pc ( not a laptop!), I always had problems with the front usb ports.
SO I really dunno what could possible made this device die
I nevr had big issues with mine like this, but the closest thing that hapenned when the device stopped working, and did not charge, was to put another battery and this helped
is someone selling this the whole USB flex hardware? I wanna buy it. I am from Philippines.

but.
how do i suppose to do that, where no power no led and no response from FlashTools....?
please give some instruction Step by Step
I already have CM11 (4.4) kitkat with Gapps.
but how to give the kernel for cm11 4.4?
thnks...mate
Hey, first to answer your question, the CM 11 kernel is inside the ROM .zip called "boot.img". So just to understand you, you have had eXistenZ Ultra 1.3.7 (which is in case no ROM but a kind of update) and then you Installed mahdi ROM over it, right? And now your phone is like dropped into a pool. If so the chance to reanimate your phone is unfortunately very low. I heard about a USB-JIG and J-TAG which can help but don't know if that works.
Nevertheless, I hope I could help a little bit and good luck

@shojeep, first, calm down! Most of Sony's devices only brick when you try to do something with TA partition...
If you tried to flash a wrong kernel it will only softbrick.
first, breathe a little, keep calm and in hope is gonna work.
Now, with all the calm of the world,try the following: hold the glory hole poweroff button for 10 seconds (located on the back cover of the phone)
next, you will connect usb cable on phone (DONT CONNECT THE OTHER SIDE ON PC, JUST USB ON PHONE)
then, you have to hold just the vol+ button by 10 seconds, and NOW you connect the usb on PC. Phone should be detected by Windows 7.
now you open flashtool, and see if the phone is being detected by FlashTool.
if yes, hold power button until phone vibrates. Now you connect the phone on the pc holding vol- button to enter on flashmode
flash this: 2.254 kernel , and later flash the full ftf 2.254 to the phone.
hope it works.
