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.

adb fastboot drivers for windows
p880 usb drivers and lg bridge
lg flash tool if lg bridge fails
choose the right firmware and download it. only you know that.
kdz files
Good luck.
Search box is a box where we type to find something and its located in the upper right corner of the xda site.
---------- Post added at 22:08 ---------- Previous post was at 22:02 ----------
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 !
its the way xda works lol

thanks guys for help so far, i havent tried most of the things yet, as i havent done it before, am still having trouble getting the phone to connect to pc in s/w upgrade mode, the pc and lg software wont find phone, one thing on the screen of phone at the top is a symbol, i think its the android beam symbol, its like a book with 2 arrows, is that a problem or is it normal, thanks

Hello, i bricked my lg optimus 2x by somehow, and i've read some on the forums and it keeps popping up that NVflash is the way to go. But the problem is nothing happens when i do it No reboot etc... It do react and say: S/W upgrade...
Also when i try to boot phone nothing happens, it is all black and no reponse... So what should i do ? I got no NAndroid backup etc
I haven't tried nvFlash, but Smartflash sure worked for me. (Verified it 10 hours ago as I just soft-bricked my O2X as well. )
You may follow instructions here.
can't find COM-port

The vol up + down method is used for NVflashing.
I used Smartflash so I didn't need to do that.
@random: Aside for checking for LG USB drivers, make sure that you have the battery pulled out, and you are plugging the phone to the PC with the volume down pressed.
smartflash
but it doesnt react to the volume down : P since what i've understand is that it should pop up a the LG bootup thingy
And it doesnt.... The only thing the phone reacts to is when i try to NVflash... but the nvflash seems to fail all the time by some reason :S in the middle of everything
take out your battery, plugin usb + hold volume down.
then smartflash all the way !
Wonder
i wonder how i smartflash then....
/watch?v=uCHRwKGTZTk] i followed that one, but he's phone react with a LG logo when he puts cable in and press vol down... Mine doesn't : (
Try using the USB ports at the back of your CPU (those that are from the MoBo itself). Are you using WinXP by the way?
Tried...
Yes, i have tried the other usb ports at the back and no im not on xp... Im on Vista

Since you got to the S/W upgrade screen on NVflash, your phone can't be totally dead. Try another PC or redownload the flash file, it could be corrupted.

Dont worry, you probably DIDNT brick it
Search for smartflash and NVflash, smartflash should probably do the trick in this case, but in a few cases u need to use NVflash.
But try smartflash first.

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.

the link you provide is old. nobody can download drivers from there anymore, his links are dead.
maybe the nvflash utility is the same with this one here ?

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

try to change the phonemode on software update(KDZ) from DIAG to EMERGENCY. that saved me a week ago .i had the same problem
Similar Problem...HELP
Hello, I seem to be having a similar problem. I tried KDZ, as per the flashing tools page, but after running the KDZ unpacking and then it stops at paramenter 210. The phone screen stays at S/W Upgrade, and nothing else happens. The KDZ log stays at parameter 210, and goes no further. I am following all the exact steps. Also in the KDZ Phone Information link/Button, no info shows up about Phone, meaning all fields are blank. Back ground Information: i had before a CUSTOM ROm 4.4+ & later 5.0+ installed, but somehow after some time, my phone stopped recognising any SIMs. Android would work but no Sim was working. I thought it was a hardware defect, but later i checked in Settings> Status, there was no IMEI showing. Something had messed up, I read up that reinstalling the stock ROM may solve the issue, so i tried it. But all i have now is that a phone that doesnt boot up, always shows S/W Update screen. And with KDZ only goes up till parameter 210 (in software status log) and doesent go further. Tried all DIAG/Emergency etc. Is my phone bricked or is there a solution ? Please HELP ..... Any help/suggestion appreciated. Thx

I tried to flash my P880 but something went wrong and after it phone is not working anymore.

Btw, APX mode is a no go on this device.
not working even if i put the batter, any other solutions ?
only thing that will surely work is lg center. i've been on the forum for a while now and i dont recall anyone fixing the device going into apx mode by themselves, but i think i've seen someone who had it repaired by lg. we simply don't have the program they use for fixing it available

Yeah if we had nvflash access via APX mode, we could recover against any software brick, LG choose to leave this out of their bootloader which is a shame.
I tried to flash the official stock rom "V20B_00" by lg using the kdz updater, but I didnt put off battery during update software, I just hold vol down button and connected to the PC. Then started to update, i was waitting for a long time, but it didnt update, so i disconnected the phone, and now it's not turning on.
Do you think that I am able to unbrick this phone?

Im unfamiliar with how the Lg S/W update mode actually works, i would assume that its separate to the main bootloader(which by disconnecting you maybe/ most likely corrupted) but either way, you HAVE to get into the update mode to repair. Hopefully you can find a way in (search the forum), but if not its most likely a brick im sad to say
btw, is it possible to repair it via JTAG? or just one solution for it is lg service center?
I'm in a unconfortable situation, because my task was to put the europe language pack to this phone, and now its not working. The phone probably wasnt bought in country so it might be some problems with lg service center

I cant say for sure, but JTAG is very unlikely. LG will fix the phone, the question is for how much. Normally if the bootloader is gone it will require even LG replacing the motherboard. I cant comment on how much this may cost.
I'll cut it short as i've already encountered this situation
If you can't exit apx mode normally
(meaning you voluntarily entered apx mode by holding vol + & - at the same time)
you are experiencing a hard brick
Only case we could solve it is if we had apx drivers, but as you've already searched..there aren't any
If you want phone back, in my experience, only solution is service center
I know it sucks, but sometimes it happens
One thing you could do is search the web for someone who's ditching his O4X for a really low price (because of a shattered screen or other malfunction) and replace the motherboard yourself. If you're in luck that can be cheaper than a service center and then you don't have to worry about blown bootloader fuses.

You said yourself that the phone wasn't bought from your country.Even if you get over that problem they'll still replace the motherboard.I doubt you could even prove that it was their software's fault.If you can do it, like stated above, buy a cheap 4x hd from the internet and replace the motherboard.Well it's not worth the effort in my opinion.
I think you should try your luck with the service center and buy another phone if you can't get it repaired for a low price or free.
So i factory rested the phone, then installed rom manager from google play and instaled CWM then pressed reboot to recovery and the phone turned off. Now when i want to turn it on it stucks on LG logo, tried all combination (i think so) but it but it shows LG logo then screen turns off. Anybody help?
Edit: I found out that i can turn my phone in SW upgrade and use Smart Flash Tool, but the problem is that none of the drivers are working, i tried about 10 of them, pc cant recognize my LG, anybody help?
Here to help!

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

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!!
REPLY ASAP WITH RESULTS

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.
