Like the title says:
I just tried to upgrade my Optimus 2X via PC software. The package downloaded fine but in the middle of the upgrade process the PC software crashed(!) and now I have a phone which is stuck in the upgrade boot screen saying:
"S/W Upgrade
Please wait while upgrading..."
So, what now? Any way to get this thing working again?
First, remove your battery and put it in your phone. Boot the phone up and see where it goes. If it goes into S/W mode again, that sucks. If it goes to the LG boot screen, put the battery out again and put it in. Press Power + Volume Down buttom to go into the CWM menu. From there you can restore your backup (if you made one) or mount the SD card and put the (rom).zip file in your SD card. Then just flash the zip from the CWM.
The update process by LG is pathetic. Many a times, I had the same problem as you. It would just get stuck. It is because of faulty drivers on their part, unable to maintain a connection with the phone.
You can try to NVflash clockwork mod recovery (CWM) and then recover your data.
i have the same problem.
i've tried everything without luck.
mine stopes att 4 procent and pc is trying to install some new device
lge mobile composite usb device.
there is no way to work around this issue.
i have tried absolutly everything.
wipe, clean, drivers this that. hard reset, variations in installing, i don't know what else i can do,
this is the message that cousing all of this.
this is located just in upgrade mode
the device is called
LGE mobile composite usb device
Universal Serial Bus controllers
LG Electronics Inc.
Location : Port_#0001.Hub_#0004
Windows cannot verify the digital signature for the drivers required for this device. A recent hardware or software change might have installed a file that is signed incorrectly or damaged, or that might be malicious software from an unknown source. (Code 52)
Thanks for the infos. I managed to install a stock rom and baseband with SmartFlash yesterday. Just a few minutes ago I used LG's update tool to update the phone to Gingerbread.
So, problem solved. If anyone has the same problem, follow these instructions to update the baseband:

hi
i was updating my phone with standard method with lg program.. (without downloading kdz file separately)
but an error occurred in 15% , " ..
"problem communication between cell and phone"
and my phone has locked in s/w upgrade mod and don't turn on.. even if i put the battery off and insert it again it turn on , in s/w upgrade mod...
please help..
If it's still at 15 % it shouldnt even have started flashing U are lucky so to say
Just pull out USB and battery, wait a few seconds and restart. Then try to install the latest drivers, maybe run it as admin or another PC if available.
If it's stuck in bootloop, try emergency recovery in B2C tool (LG update tool), or read in my noob how to, how to unbrick devices.
Also this thread needs to be in Q&A
I was using 64bit PC and had the same problem then I used another PC and the problem was gone
Had the same problem. Resolved using emergency recovery in LG tool, but using another pc.

OK, lets do it...
First you'll need the .kdz file. The firmware to flash it. Click here: http://csmg.lgmobile.com:9002/swdata/WEBSW/LGP880/ANLDWH/V10F_00/V10F_00.kdz
Next, the programs, here: http://www.4shared.com/rar/Re4VCOAS/kdz-update.html
Assuming that you already have the LG drivers installed...
1 >>>>> copy the V10F_00.kdz to the folder that you download (kdz-update).
2 >>>>> install "msxml" from the "kdz-update" folder.
3 >>>>> run "Windows Enabler" from the "kdz-update" folder, it should appear an icon on the right/bottom of your screen, if not near the others in the taskbar, you need to click on it and you should see "ON" on that icon.
4 >>>>> run "UpTestEX_mod2_marwin" from the "kdz-update" folder.
On the field "Select type" choose "CDMA - SmartPhone(WM)" (if the flash fails change it to "3GQCT - SmartPhone(WM)")
On the field "Version" (at the left) type "V10F_00".
On the field "Select model .dll" browse and select the "P880.dll" from the "kdz-update" folder.
On the field "PhoneMode" select "EMERGENCY".
On the field "Select kdz file" browse and choose the "V10F_00.kdz" that you download and should be in the "kdz-update" folder.
5 >>>>> with your phone "OFF" and the USB cable connected to the PC, press "VOL-" and connect the cable to the phone untill it turns "ON" in "S/W Upgrade".
6 >>>>> Now click on "Start Upgrade" in "UpTestEX_mod2_marwin". As soon as you see some progress in the log, put the battery on the phone, carefull to don't let it drop.
Wait until the phone reboot by it self and it should be all.
Let us know if it worked or not and, or, if you have any other problems.
Good luck!

The phone boots up but stucks at the lg logo. With 'select type: CMDA (smartphone wm) the log stops at '13:41:32 : 3GQCT : wParam = 2001, lParam = 0'. It never says complete. And with 'Select type: 3GQCT (smartphone wm) it gives an unpacking error.
Its very anoying.

Forgot to tell you, everytime you need to use the flash tool you need to close it and restart it again.
That unpacking error is because of temp. files. The program unpack the kdz file to another one where is the .dll and the .dz, doing that twice it uses to have that error.
What RuedasLocas said is correct however this:
On the field "Select type" choose "CDMA - SmartPhone(WM)" (if the flash fails change it to "3GQCT - SmartPhone(WM)")
Isn't. Keep the phone type set to 3GQCT.

@judodave, try first flash the V10A version.
My first flash went wrong and I was going crazy around the V10C and only after I flash with the V10A I was able to re-flash with the V10F.
Maybe it works with you to... at least I hope so.
Here is the link: http://csmg.lgmobile.com:9002/swdata/WEBSW/LGP880/ANLDWH/V10A_00/V10A_00.kdz
I'll flash mine (later of course) just to post a damn video of how I do it.
Good luck once more.

You'll do it. From time to time someone appears with a phone like yours. For sure is something escaping and we just don't figure out what it is.
When we start to do the same thing over and over again, we use to forgot some small procedures.
Don't worry, one of these days you'll make it.

Thanks.. it works. I just upgraded my lg p880 from v10e to v20a two days a go. Then i rooted the device. Works for two days, then it stuck at boot logo after I restarted the device. Do not know why. So far has been disappointed with the battery performance and the sound quality of this device. Hopefully the new v20a can help improve even just a bit:good:

TNQ...I fix my LG...and know work perfect I put 20A kdz. 4.1.2. and phone work perfect
Same problem here
I have the same problem. I think the stupid thing I did was to install V20a without rooting the phone. Now I cant root it. IS11LG_SystemBackupTest.signed.ap would not run and when I try to recover either with LGflashboot or LG firmware recovery I get the same error message "morning call is empty" (very strange error message). I can go back to v20a but since I am not completely happy with it I would like to resolve it. Is there any chance to fix it? I am not very confident to format bootload or installing custom ROM.
Thanks

You cannot root the phone on V20a using IS11LG_SystemBackupTest.signed.apk, since that file is used for versions V10x. Check out this link for rooting V20a: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2180688

Uninstall all drivers and folders like "LG United Mobile Driver" and "LG USB Modem Driver".
Re-install the drivers:
http://www.4shared.com/file/rPpP2btT/LGUnitedMobileDriver_S4981MAN3.html
http://www.4shared.com/file/ZSMf2x6n/LGUSBModemDriver_Eng_WHQL_Ver_.html
Take out the battery, press "Power Button" (just to discharge all phone components), put the battery back on the phone.
Press "Vol-" and connect to PC. Wait while windows detect the device and search in windows update for possible new drivers.
Windows won't find a thing but will take some time while trying...
After that you should be OK.
Just did similar to my phone and followed the advice in this thread - now sorted. Thanks guys you rock!
if u epic fail to manually force the drivers in just install android jdk open it and update it.

Hello,
I'm new and I just starting.
Everything going well, but when I want to install CMW I made an error, I don't unlock bootloader before the install, and now when I switch on my phone (lg p880) I see LG logo and nothing happens.
- I tried to "Update firmware through flashing the kdz files" by post on XDA, I have error when I press button 'launch software update' in KDZ_FW_UPD, error about Up text Ex mod2. I add my phone have root!
- I tried to unlock booloader in All in One but my phone don't have debbuging switch on, thats information show me.
- I tried in SDK Manager with fastboot, eclipse and drivers are installed but something maybe I do wrong and isn't work too.
- My computer don't see phone, when I connected phone to computer holding VOL-
How can I do something? How to install maybe orginal ROM, but I want to install Avatar ROM on XDA and this is the beginnig I read that to install the ROM I must have root, unlock bootloader and CWM.
I can go only to orginal recovery and s/w update (but there is nothing doing, when I connected to computer holding VOL- , my computer can't see phone, and I don't have connection with LG Mobile Support Tool)!!!
So now I have nothing
Please HELP me, I don't have phone now and this is terrible.
