Hi all kind bros and sis,
Please help me out as I think I've really bricked my less than 2 months brand new Optimus 2X..
You see.. I rooted my P990 using unlock root and chanced upon CM7 and thought of giving it a try. I installed clockworkmod and downloaded the stable release of 7.1 for Optimus 2x.. following the instruction to do a Nandroid backup and proceeded with the Mod..
Not knowing that I need to wipe everything including data.. I just selected the Dalvik cache wipe and proceed with the mod. The process went for more than 15mins and I saw some graphics (the android figure going round and round) but it just stuck there... the screen went blank and when I touched those home or back buttons.. they will lighted but nothing happens. I can't power it off also. So I manually took out the battery and put it back before powering up again. The android picture appeared again briefly for about 1 min and just hanged there. I took out the battery again and this time it was dead.. no matter what I press : vol + and power buttons together; home+Vol+ + power down; Vol- + power down.. all those do not revive the phone.
I tried taking out the external SD card and try powering up. The LG logo appeared and got stuck there.
I searched on Google and found the smartflashtool. I tried that and managed to install the NVidia boot recovery driver and stuff correct. Hold the vol+ button and power key before plugging in but the smarttool did not find the com port or communication driver whatever so I couldn't flash it back to stock.
I'm very desperate and stuck now... did I just accidentally burned the board or something? What bad luck I have
If that's the case, will I still be able to bring the phone back to LG service centre and get it repaired?
Please help me.. any kind souls out there. I really liked the phone and hoped to bring it back. else it's such a shortlived phone... really breaks my heart to see this..
Thanks in advance...

Try using SmartFlashTool, download the LG stock ROM (can be found here in XDA forum, i'll help you find the link), flash the .bin and .fls files.

Turn off the phone. Hold Vol-DOWN while plugging it in. Start Smartflash and see the com-ports magically appear.
Follow trymhansen's instructions. He helped me before with my softbricked phone.
I hope you get your O2X back to life! Keep us posted
Best of luck to you!
PS. I also believe you should pull out the battery after turning off the phone in Trym's instructions. Trym correct me if I'm wrong please.
Hi All,
Thanks for your kind replies. I did follow your instruction. Take out the battery (I removed the ext SDcard as well), press and hold -vol and plug in the phone via USB. Afterwhich start up smartflash tool.. still nothing happens and no com ports are found.. The version of smartflashtool that I used is Dec 2010. Do I need to get the latest one and also the LG united drivers installed?
I also tried starting smartflash tool before the sequence.. still the same. BTW.. my OS is Win 7. Is it supported?
Really at my end's wit. Hope I can bring my phone back to life soon and I'm not really bricking it. I heard Samsung phones are not that easy to brick and can get to the recovery mode pretty easily. is it true?
Please help me.. thanks
Hi bros,
Attached are my screenshots from the device manager and smartflash tool... both seems not able to find the phone and allocate a com port. I've tried installing the latest LG mobile driver 3.6 but no help as well
Have you followed instructions as described here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1008070 ?
Also, try to attach your phone directly to computer, using usb ports from computer mainboard. I have experienced problems when attaching it via extension usb cord or attaching it to computer case ports. (I hope that you can understand what I have mean to say with usb )
Hi Memhis,
Yes.. I followed exactly the instructions from the thread and I've plugged into a USB port directly to the computer which is one of the ports in front.. not via any extension or USB hub.. still it did not detect.
I'll try to use another computer which is running Win XP and try again. I've downloaded those 3 files from that thread you recommended try using those instead.. hope it can be detected this time else I think I'll have to send to LG service for repair tomorrow.
I've been jailbreaking and modding my Iphone a lot and everytime whenever there's a near brick situation.. I'm able to fix it but not this time with an Android or LG perhaps... I hope I don't have to go to the extend of using ADB low level to push some files which I saw in one of the thread that one of the guys did that.. but I doubt I can since my windows can't even detect the phone!!
Maybe this will be my first and last LG phone if I ever get it repaired...

launch smartflashtool first, extract the .fls and .bin files, hold down volume at the same time plug in the usb port to your comp. you must see a s/w updating logo in your phone's screen and smartflash should detect your phone. then click start!

Hi mrgian,
I just tried to revive my phone by using the same method on a different laptop running on Win XP.. plugged directly to a side USB port but still no luck. There's no s/w updating logo appearing on my phone and smartflashtool also failed to detect my phone. I've found another thread opened by another user and my situation is exactly the same as his :
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1161583
But lucky for him is that he's able to get it working after changing to another PC but I've tried 3 different machines and no luck so far...
I'll try to use the NVflash as a last resort and see if I've any luck with NVflash at all.. If it failed again.. I think I've no choice but to send it to the repair centre for servicing then..

Yes.. I've installed the latest LG united mobile driver version 3.6. Any wrong with that version... Really don't know where / what is missing or my phone is really fried after just one mod attempt?
I've also tried NVflash and it's stuck at the "bootloader initialization" screen....
Nothing appeared on the phone... not even LG logo. Can't believe LG phones are so fragile and unmodifiable

When you say an USB port in the front do you mean an USB in the back? Because the ones in front are the case ones, the ones in the back are the good ones, i.e. the ones that are directly attached to the mobo.

I plugged in the phone with battery but there was no charge logo or whatever.. the screen remains blank.. I'll try to leave it charging and see what happens. But I've remembered there was still about 80% power when this disaster happened and I've taken out the battery since.. so the charge should have remain? Btw.. where can I get this ext3 back.zip and how to use it? thanks
Hi!
I just rooted my brand new LG optimus 4x HD, and when I was going to install cyanogenmod on it, the phone stopped working. I pressed to restart in recovery and installing the rom, but when it was about to restart, it only says something like: unrecoverable boot loader, and something with kernel. I don't know what this means, but I hope there is a way to fix this, because the phone is brand new, and now I can't even start it.
Some suggestions?

Just flash original stock KDZ file with kdz flasher.
If you want to install CM, you do not need a rooted phone, but an unlocked bootloader.
Check the respective threads for details on how to unlock the phone and then flash CM.

ok, i'll try that in a couple of hours when I get home, Thanks everyone! I'll be back if there is another problem
in the lg pc suite that comes with the phone there is an option in "Device" for "emergency firmware recovery" this should be a relatively easy way to restore your phone if it allows you to do it without booting up otherwise use the method posted earlier. to get into the correct mode on the phone turn phone off, then whilst holding vol- plug in the usb (don't press power button) this should enter software upgrade mode.
after this you will lose root and if you unlocked your bootloader will relock it.
i used this http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2256392 all in one tool to root and this http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=40918727&postcount=108 to unlock bootloader, you can use the all in one tool (from rooting) to install cwm after you have unlocked bootloader.
I hope this helps

I tried to root via the all-in-one toolbox, but I don't get how I am supposed to do... And after trying to do some things and factory resets, I'm unable to start my phone again. This time i'm stuck on bootscreen. And I can't seem to get to the S/W Upgrade screen again, i don't know why...
Is there something i can do with ADB sideload?

to get into S/W upgrade mode, remove battery, insert battery, hold the vol-, and plug in a usb attached to a computer (keep holding vol-).
hope this helps. also try a different pc usb port or a different cable (just to eliminate any variables)

Hi astr_x,
Do you have any example links for the respective threads you mention? I have tried adb and fastboot. I hold Volume down + plug into my computer and I get the Unrecoverable bootloader error that was mentioned above. In fact, I get this error even when I plug my phone to a normal plug (and not PC). Anyway, I connect my phone to my laptop (I always get the error mentioned) and when I type the relative adb+fastboot command in cmd (after installing all the relative drivers), I get "Error: Unknown device".
Any thoughts?
okay i was puttiing a new rom on my phone and long story short i deleted everything and now i get stuck at the htc boot screen and CAN NOT get any further past that, im not sure what or if anything i can do to fix this, some one please help, email me will be quicker, [email protected]
im used to working with samsung phones not htc and im stuck in quicksand with this one.
Did you make a backup in recovery? I tried to flash a ROM once and it got stuck on the HTC screen but I somehow managed to hold the power button for a while and reboot back into recovery to restore to my previous ROM.
Question about situation
Normally in this situation you could hold Vol Down+Power until the unit shuts off then let go of Power and continue holding volume down. This should drop you back off in HBoot/Fastboot from here you could get back to the recovery screen and most recoveries now allow for ADB access to repush or flash another install.
If you are able to get into Recovery what are you currently running?

there is absolutely no rom on it now, so theres nothing on the phone. i think my only hope would be trying to run something of an sd card or hope that i can run some program on a computer.
twrp isn't installed as well. everything got erased, i think what i have to do is send the files over through terminal if i can get it connected via usb, idk. im not sure, i feel like I've really done myself in on this one, some one save my skin please

i don't want to sound like a noobie but how would i get that to flash i can't pull up any screens besides the htc white screen
Have you tried pressing power while holding the vol up button then when the screen goes black pressing and holding the volume down button to get into the bootloader? If you can get into the bootload (and I suspect you probably can if the phone still gets to the white HTC screen) you can flash a recovery and then flash a rom.
nothing is wrong with your phone nor do you need an sd...if u know how to use adb...push the rom back to the phone in recovery..simple as that..sd card works too but youll be fine which ever way...u have no problem

I looked and looked for 9 hours with no luck :crying: is there any kind of fix for it? I even tried a usb jig with no luck. and plus i cant find a online shop that with jtag my lg g flex d959. im pulling my hair i just want mt flex back and working
update, I finally got it to work back to normal after bricking it with freedom flex app.
1. You will need an OTG cable.download Dfuse stock kitkat.zip and place it on your flash drive or sd card ( what a life saver). here's a link to his rom I hope its ok with D-fuse?
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2747098
2. boot into recovery
press and hold volume up & power button, until the lg logo appears wait 2 sec, release the volume button only. if successfully done correctly you get a black screen with a image of a wrench and hammer and korean letters. it will boot in twrp or cwm which ever you have in stalled with freedom flex.
3. factory wipe it through the recovery
4. install Dfuse kitkat.zip you downloaded on to you sdcard.
5. reboot and enjoy you unbricked LG G FLEX

yea this sucks real big ones lol. does yours also say unknow usd device also?
trying to keep from crying
yes having the same problem with the USB, I did contact freedom flex to see how bad this is, also for about two days of reading and downloading server files I am ready if the USB connect, now the phone is in a coma and we will bring it back to life trying to keep from crying. I'm also going to call a tech and find out how bad it is, i will let you know.
Can you get into download mode
ok I can get it to download mode but still get unknown usb device. and also i can get it to twrp recovery but in my computer device manager it gives me and yellow (!) and says LG-G-Flex and wont install any drivers
att d950
I can get into download mode and it shows the computer and phone with blue dots nothing moving, when i connect to computer the usb does not work, I installed with freedom flex twrp, i was able to do a backup of the phone and efs backup. The phone now is stuck with lg screen and if you hit the power and down button you may get Korean lang with your imei with bar code at the bottom
att D950
in order to do the sd card how were you able to connect usb not recognized ?
You wont be able to get the full download mode. Also it wont recognize at with the computer. Only way of doing it, boot it in recovery and plug OTG cable <~~( forgot to put that) with a flash drive or sd card and install dfuse stock kitkat zip and you be up in running
If you can get into download mode try fastbooting Dfuse's 4.2.2 "D95910c" stock ROM. You may have to use
fastboot update (click and drag the D95910c file here with out the ( ) ). Or fast boot the f340 aboot or boot.img and freedom flex's cwm.img then unplug power off try booting to recovery but remember you only have one shot once you get there. From CWM you'll need to adb sideload Dfuse's D95910c.zip to your SD if its not already on there. Then flash it in CWM recovery.

I have tried about the flash back to stock via offline .kdz method and its only worked for me once. Its such a janky jacked up lucky if it works method , but I've used this twice with absolutely no problem at . just make sure you have internet connection on your PC. And I don't think you have to get into download mode if you change the setting to "Emergency". Just follow forum instructions and uninstall any of the original offline .kdz method stuff and LG drivers if you have ever tried it. And reinstall the LG drivers with OUT your phone plugged in.
Then follow that forum. Like I said its worked for me both times I've used it. Only issue in had was the old offline method software was installed and not allowing the new flash tool to act right. But once I uninstalled and started with a clean slate ....I was Golden.
Good luck

Yeah kintwofan posted ya a link. Put download it and make sure it's a good download. Either in twerp go to advanced/sideload. And adb sideload the zip file to your sd or put the zip file on a thumb drive and use a female usb to male micro usb cord as an adapter to plug the thumb/flash drive into your phone. Then in TWRP go to "mount" and scroll down the list and check the box next to "usb-org" then back out and go flash Dfuse's 4.2.2 jelly bean Rom. And don't forget to factory reset after the 4.2.2 Rom finishes and before you reboot. Or you'll boot loop.
Then If your smart go ahead and put a flashable supers.zip file on sd or flash drive and flash that after flashing 4.2.2 and factory reset have finished. Then reboot system. Should be good to go. You'll be rooted already and you can go to play market and get the freedom flex apk and put ya a custom recovery , make a back up, and for heaven sakes stay on 4.2.2 till they get the kernel for 4.4 worked out. Lmao
Hello,
to explain my situation, I purchased a sprint LG G Flex from CL with the intention of using it on Simple Mobile. I found a post on XDA where and individual created a custom ROM called "attsprint" that enabled this. I Rooted the phone without issue and verified it, next I installed FreedomFlex with the intention of installing a TWRP and then proceeding to flash the custom rom. The recovery was flashed to the phone and I verified then pressed Reboot in TWRP and the phone "Attempted" to restart but hung at the LG screen.
Well...I tried for a while to do the Hard Reset with the Vol down and power to no avail and got frustrated and started pressing buttons and found if I do the Vol up and power CWM came up, and If I do Vol up and Power while plugged to my PC a download screen which shows a phone with dots that connects to a PC and never goes past that screen.
So I attemped to ADB to it and sideload a stock rom but my ADB does not recognize the phone. I connected an OTG cable to the phone and flashed a stock ROM through USB and it said success but still will not reboot.
I can not seem to get anywhere on this phone.....I have dealt with lots of phones, PCs, tablets, Video Game consoles and been able to recover them all but this one is really frustrating me.
If someone else has any insight on this please help!

Might be easier just to use the back to stock method and take all updates back to 442
