I had this problem like 5 months ago
OK read this and follow the exact guide im doing it personally so that you dont have to search! kk
(for getting your phone working)
1.install the phone drivers from the website ( it might show on the com port thingy then )
2. flash only a gingerbread rom or froyo rom because the ICS rom is locked with a bootloader and will cause the lg logo thing all over again if you flash
3.From this link download the gingerbread rom( download the V20A from venezuela )( http://lg-phone-firmware.com/index.php?id_mod=1 )then use the rom convertor ( go to this link for the guide on how to flash http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2144577 )
4. if it works, all you have to do is put a rom on your sd and go on with your life
( PS I suggest you try HUEXXX's IZS ROM or Marvel V9 as they both are really stable and works really well)
as for other roms
Dont forget to click the thank button on the corner of this post
Will it work normaly if i flash venezuela rom not baltics (im from baltics)?

possible but not safe!
causes permanent brick if not done well ( i think )
your not detecting problems could be anything!
try reinstalling the drivers all over again
or try another computer!
and also the USB CABLE you are using should be lg ones
and if any lg ones dont work use your OB CABLE!!

Tried reinstalling drivers about 20 times;
Tried on another computer still the same;
Tried other (not LG) cable still the same
Today I was at local service center, they said that they cant fix it, so they sent my phone to a better service and they have some kind of box mobile phone fixing tool. Looking forward, that costs 10 to 15 euros. hopefully they fix it.

Hi all,
Please help me out.I brought my phone 1 week back and installed cyanogenmod 7 on it.But after using it I thought its not so good in terms of look.So I decided to revert it back.I downloaded andoird 2.2 firmware from LG website and used KDZ to install it.But when I was installing it phone restarted automatically and LG logo appears and a black screen came.I tried to install many time but still stuck on this.Please help me..I blocked my internet connection and I tried with different modes like emergency and diag and disabled LG modem in device manager.Nothing is working.Please help me and whether I can get it to LG service center and whether they can find it out that I flash my phone.So that I can repair it telling it is in warranty.Please help me guys.This is my first android phone.
Did your button always flashing? What ROM version did you use?
yes the buttons are always flashing after LG logo and when I get the black screen I
am using V10A_00.kdz india version.Please help me
Please don't be panic, it also happening to me few times ago...

Now you are a funny one, huh?
Anyways it doesn´t look too good. Seems you´ve crushed the bootloader, which is a very bad idea
Try to take out the accu for about 2 hours.
If still not even a single picture can bee seens, it´s a very bad sign.
- btw. does the loading picture/animation show up when trying to load?
- try starting Handy with download-mode (down)
- try starting Handy with CWM (Mode) (up)
I´d sugguest (re-)flashing a bootloader, but since you reported Odin doesn´t find a device...it still just doesn´t look to good...sorry mate
hi , thank you for replaying , ok in case i crashed the boot louder , do you think if i gave it to sumsong as its still under warranty they will find out ??

What did you try to flash with Odin ? ICS rom, stock ?
No idea about the warranty - theoritically you have no right to flash anything yourself using 3rd party software, but since oficial Kies uses similar methods, if you tried to flash stock ROM they might not find out.
But first, try the method proposed by DJ-Tumor, press volume down+home+power and see if it turns on into download mode.
He already said he can't boot into download mode.
(Now you are a funny one, huh?) May be Tumor really got a tumor in his brain.
You'll have to get a Jig and try to boot with it.
thank you for your replay , I tried usb jig and it's not working .. when i tried to change the system it was an official one wasn't custom .

Have you tried to directly flash a .kdz file? That should help, as your device came with 10a it should be a normal one and no developer.

I havent tried it yet...I will today when I come home...
I was researching a little...
how can I be sure that phone is not developer edition?
I got that phone for free from a cousine working in local lg office... he was saying that it's the final version...
there is a encription on the back of the model NOT FOR SALE...so that means it a developer edition, or not?
ofcourse, software is version v10a....
maybe it's not registred for sale so it wont update?
I found some tutorial, does someone know will that help and could I brick it this way? http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1861942

If you'll try the normal flash, you'll brick it almost for sure.
By that method you'll be able to flash it.

As far as I know, the flash method for developers phones must run in 32bit system.
About retail phones, just try to download the KDZ version you want to and flash it with the normal methode.
Good luck

Maybe even without sucess, when you flash by the "development way" (let's call it like that for now...), you overwrite the file system allowing to perform the normal flash after that.
Good for you.

relax. 1st thing to do is take a breath. 2nd thing to do is follow some guide to do it right this time. maybe it cant boot, but it can go in adb mode or in upgrade screen and restore the original forcing the original rom in. its ur choice.

APX device not recognized... NVFlash doesn't work on P880 (AFAIK).
And if you pay atention, the links also as uploaded drivers are from 2011, old.
Check SW
First of all try this:
1. take battery out
2. put it back
3. press and keep volume down
4. while keeping volume down plug USB cable, after 2 sec should enter to S/W upgrade
try exactly how i said and report if that works.

Well i don't have a lot of experience of re-installing phones, but i don't think that phone died of software missing/failure on phone, should be extra drivers/soft to wake it up, even after formatting all device, or maybe when he tried flash rom phone hardware got burned. i feel sorry for that phone

He means the search on this site.
For starters here are the latest drivers I found that are not included in another program:
p880 drivers 3.8.1
Please download and install them with your device not being connected to your pc.
When installation is done, connect your device and wait until it is identified by the new drivers.
So far so good? Please report if that worked.

lg flash tool if lg bridge fails
choose the right firmware and download it. only you know that.

Good luck.

one question. if you know how to answer that , you fix it in 5 minutes.
can you boot into bootloader mode or not ?
if you find how and try it and if you get in bootloader mode,
at my next post i'll have your phone fixed.
if not, find a guide to flash kdz if lg bridge don't fix it for you.
~EDIT:
and hit thanks button. it's the least you can do to say thank you !
