Hi all
This problem that I have is pissing me off so much. I rooted my phone and then unrooted it, and then my Android Market icon was missing. Now, whenever I want to do a factory reset, the phone goes back to ClockworkMod Recovery every single time. I want to get rid of this CMR. Also, I've tried to stock original rom on my phone but it does not work at all. What is happening? My phone is LG Optimus 2x P990. But I always get this error where I can't apply the DLL file. This really annoying me right now. I've tried everything and NOTHING works. I regret rooting my device.
Please help me thanksss

You can flash the original image using SmartFlash.
Get your original Firmware image from here. The instructions for SmartFlash are here
how to flash the zip
sorry I am completely new to this. How do I apply the zip? Do I boot into recovery mode and install zip from there? I have done this with other zip files before and it always ended with:
'installation aborted'
im trying it now, but its stuck at:
'Restoring stock recovery image'
smart flash
smart flash doesn't work for me. I always get this time out error.. I really don't know what to do now. The recovery stock file did install but then I chose 'reboot system now' in CWM and it got stuck with the LG logo. Now, it's back to ClockWork Recovery Mod again!! i don't understand. Please help.. Many thnks
what type of error?
your device-manager on your pc recognizes your 2x, when you connect it as described in the instructions?
THis is the error:
00:00.0 Sec ownload Start...
00:07.5 Sec :We can't communicate with specific port
and now, I can't start my phone. It gets stuck on LG logo. I tried the remove CWM method, it worked but when I rebooted my phone, my phone would not start at all. P. Please help.
yep it recognises it but it always gets this time out error... what should I do? Please help.. Many thanxx
Does the COM port get detected automatically when you plugin the phone ?

Same with me. Go on trying at some point it will work. It happens with me everytime i flash with smartflash. Myself also waiting for a definite solution to this problem. i think the problem lies with usb drivers. I also tried with taking out card and sim but cannot pinpoint the problem. Any successful flasher may upload the drivers. Moreover i also disabled programmes like antivirus etc running in background. Waiting for a more definite problemfree flashing solution.
I think, install drivers to smartflash, no other drivers, and later smartflash.

1. Rooted
2. Don't think I had USB Debugging on prior to this situation
3. Didn't flash a rom (dont even know how)
4. don't have clockworkmod
I installed the root required app LCD density changer by beansoft... tried permanently changing my lcd density (resolution) to 200, looked back at phone several minutes later and it was stuck on the at&t logo. I didn't do a backup like they said, in case anything goes wrong (didn't expect anything to go wrong.........). Now, everytime I try to boot my phone, i get stuck at the At&t logo screen (NOT infinite loop... just frozen logo). I have tried factory reset multiple times... but ofcourse that didn't work because that doesn't affect system preferences ( like the density/resolution).
Beansoft suggests this to fix the issue... but i can't get it to work
densitychanger.blogspot.(com) (towards the bottom, where the highlighted green text is)...
How can i get that file onto my phone's memory? My phone wont even turn on. I tried putting it on the microsd card, but the file doesnt show up in recovery.
Someone please help me... I just want my phone working again... By whatever means... Flashing a new rom, the update.zip method by beansoft... idk ... just want it working...
HELP :'(
P.S. I dunno how to work adb... every time i try and use it, i get the "device not found" thing... ( i have the drivers installed)... So if that's how I have to fix my phone... PLEASE be very descriptive in instructions....

the 200 dpi setting does not work on the Thrill, which is why you are stuck in "bootloop"

Well looks like you're kinda screwed since you don't have clockwork installed, I'm not sure if you can install a new ROM... but have you tried EVERYTHING in android recovery?
If you don't know how to get to recovery... it's Hold down volume key + 3d + power, until it vibrates then use arrow keys to move around and 3d to select if you dont have clockwork...

Do you havet the emergency mode like most LG smartphones?Here is how you check pull out the battery and the plug it in(so your phone turns off) and then hold down the volume up +voulume down and power button if it worked you should see a yellow screen and a "Emergency mode!!" title.Then google for a kdz update tool and a kdz firmware for YOUR phone.You will also need the LG mobile united drivers.If you are on windows go to control panel and disable the lg modem.Then connect your phone(in emergency mode) to the computer open the update tool then click on select KDZ and navigate to your KDZ then in phone mode select emergency_something iys the only one.Than click flash KDZ and after about 5min your phone should reboot and it wilk work.Its importiant to note that you will lose everything on your phones memory its like you flash a rom you start out fresh you also loose root.Good luck!

Im having the same problem as the person before me, but my phone is stuck on the lg logo screen. My phone is rooted and I do believe I have installed clockworkmod when root manager asked me to. My phone froze on me while going through the root manager app, when I tried formatting it through the reboot screen I ended up with E: can't mount CACHE:recovery/ command, E: can't mount CACHE:recovery/log, and E: can't open CACHE:recovery/log.
I've tried following instuctions from this site: http://www.lg-phones.org/how-to-flash-lg-thrill-4g-to-android-2-3-gingerbread.html
Until the last one cause i don't have an option to instal stuff from my sd card
I've also tried this one: http://http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1270832
but again I have no option of the sd card or running abd commands
only options i have are:
reboot system now
wipe data/factory reset
wipe cache partition
wipe cache partition and package recovery
wipe nv dynamic partition

You don't have clockwork then.That is your stock recovery.I had this problem too.I flashed the wrong recovery and i got stuck on the LG logo.I fixed it using fastboot flasher idk is it the same combination but on my phone it is volume up+call+power button.Uf it is correct you should see a sign saying fastboot mode udc_start or something like that then use the fastboot flasher to flash a recovery image for your phone.After the flash is complete reboot your phone but first do a NORMAL boot so you can see if the problem is solved.If it worked then you can safely boot into recovery.

Thank you for your support guys, but as it was to difficult, I just got a new one from at&t
I am in similar situation but I am rooted AND I have CWM on my phone. I can boot into recovery just fine and install from sd card and all that jazz but when I try to boot normally I don't get past the LG logo. It just hangs there forever. Do I just have to get a flashable ROM onto the SD card and boot into recovery and flash??
I have already tried wiping data, cache and dalvik to no avail.
Any suggestions??

I rooted phone, everything fine. I flashed CWM, everything fine. When I rebooted system from CWM then phone booted but hung at the LG logo. Now only thing I can do is boot into recovery or boot to the LG logo for hours... Don't even know how this could have happened as I haven't flashed anything, just root and CWM...
Hi
I think* i was trying to do a back up or custom recovery just before it went pear shaped, phone froze and i took the battery out and then ->
The phone doesn't get past boot image ( custom boot image of terminators from the movie ).
I have tried factory reset , trying different roms on sd card and then booting into recovery - but i only had the default recovery on the phone.
I have a kdz file image and a few dz files as well as zip but they don't 'work' , even if i rename them 'update'
The lg support tool gets to a point where it says ' super duper bad , your fxxxxd or fatal error or something so it wont even start a fix or update.
'Unkdzing' only gives me a dz file and .dll
I tried uptestEX ,dzextract,lgflashmuncher,expand,lgextract and extractor kdz - but on that it stops with some WMD warning - in spanish i think.
This is the 5th day ive tried to fix the prob but i fail.
After I un screw the phone can it be flashed/shocked with electricity on the part that holds the info ? ( thought id ask before going ahead and doing it anyways )
The phone is rooted
try this

have you tried all methods here
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2068321
Hi
Yeah I tried those and those led me to other links of people trying other methods but none of them worked out.
Basically I think I need to shelf the phone until there's a boot loader - that should fix most/all problems shouldn't it ?
I like the phone so I'll order another one same colour same place same bat channel :good:
did you change or reinstall busybox
busy box was changed days before

but i am sure, you didn't rebooted before this after replacing busybox. Busybox takes effect after reboot.
yeah i agree as its exactly the same as happened to my phone, i had installed busybox 1.20 and didnt reboot then a while later the phone froze and when i rebooted it stuck at boot logo
I was doing a few things with the phone so yeah, you're probably right.
So is there a fix ?

I tried and it didn't work
What should the screen look like when its plugged in and turned on ? , I did the vol + power key and its statiky* and sometimes vibrates. So i tried vol - and power, vol + and home and power, vol - and home and power but total commander still didn't see the phone connected to it.
I extracted adb to total commander and i click on it when total commander is open then I have to click connect to device then a box pops up and i input COM4 ( matched it up with device manager ) but nothing happens.
The only 'normal' screen is when it is in sw update mode, other than that its either grey or pink or white and vibrates at times with all sometimes.
Ok I tried vol + and power with the battery in and when i click on adb the device ID is shown but when i click on that, its totally empty.. no folders or files , completely blank.
Also next to the network 3 pc image it still says [none]
When i try to copy the new busybox to the device id it says 'please remove the write protection'.. so I right click the busybox file and click unblock but same message again
It has full permissions.
you need to keep hold of the keys until it starts up.it will vibrate and screen will go blank about 2 times before it boots into the correct mode,sorry i didnt think of writing that into my other post

yeah it takes like 5 seconds for it to reboot and then the 'notice' screen appears, but still it says ' please remove the write protection '
Also noticed on my pc under device manager that android adapter has yellow triangle.
I went to LG site and got the driver but it didn't install, even found generic driver but it didn't install, also let windows find one but it didn't install, also tried manually but android driver just wont install.
My understanding is without that android driver total command won't work.
hi sorry to hear your still having problems, all i can suggest is uninstall the drivers and reinstall without the device connected,also are you leaving it til it comes to the screen has a window with a phone and and cables with a red hand covering them,
the driver that you really need it too load is the called Android Sooner single ADB Interface, as far as im aware that when booting into this mode it doesnt load your currently corrupted system files maybe after you retry installing it should hopefully work also if you havent already installed the lg support tool then it would be easier for you to install that and install the drivers that way,they can be found through the following link
http://www.lg.com/uk/support/mobile-support
il have a good think and look at what could be the problem if you are still having problems
yeah I have that driver and two others, nothing is working unfortunately
hi last night i installed swapper from market and ran it. afterward when i restarted my phone, it got stuck on LG logo. i waited even half hour but it doesn't go any further.
condition is that i can't access adb at lg logo screen, but i can have adb on flashing mod which comes when you press power button + vol up .
secondly it doesn't detect my internal sdcard in default recovery. when i try to access sdcard from adb by cd sdcard, it doesn't go in sdcard. when i try to flash another update.zip from ext-sdcard from default recovery, it says unknown volume for path [/sdcard].
so did swapper deleted my internal sdcard partition or what did it do? what is the solution? i tried to find swapper app from adb, went through folders to folder but i couldn't find it out. may be if i can find it from adb and remove it and also it's created file from sdcard my phone come back to life?
in the last my phone is in warranty. atleast someone show me a way to completely remove rooting from my phone through adb so i can take my phone to their customer center.
i also have lg pc suite and mobile support tool.
i had root access with supersu and i installed cwm recovery in my phone. but since phone is not starting up, i can't go into cwm recovery, i can only go in the default recovery.
please help

You tried to flash your version with kdz?
Maybe you don't need to do a clean install and keep your files and apps.

where should i put my phone? i mean it can't boot into OS, should i go in default recovery and connect to lg tool or flashing mod?

bro its ****in up my mind. there are a lot of things on internet, lots of guides, on xda forums there is a post i saw http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2069723
this post is a tutorial to flash kdz, but i don't know what is my current firmware version, if its 20x or 10x. and how can i see that? coz he says don't downgrade from 20x to 10x with this tool, and i don't know if my is 20x may be? and i might make my problem more complicated by doing wrong things.
please guide me with right path. i'm in trouble and i'm not very experienced in these stuff, i just wanna know things i don't know like i don't know which version of kdz i should download from his link, my country is pakistan and it is not in list of countries over there, and there is european open kdz which is 10a 10b etc. which is for me? your signature says you have 20x, i don't see any 20x over there?
i repeat my situation again.
installed swapper
restarted phone
stuck on LG logo
restarted again n again, no luck
tried adb commands to remove swapper package but can't find sdcard in my root.
tried default recovery, wipe data, wipe cache, restarted, no luck
copied a custonexus rom on my ext-sd, renamed it to update.zip, went to default recovery, tried install update from ext-sd, it gives error "unknown volume for path [/sdcard]"
tried to push update.zip to cache "adb push update.zip /cache", it gives error "permission denied" file system read only.
tried to do these things by connecting my phone to pc while phone is in recovery by removing batteries and inserting, Vol down + power long hold, no luck
tried to do these things while in strange mode lol, removing batteries and inserting, vol up + power long hold. no luck
tried LG support tools, menu > customer support > recovery phone while in strange mode lol vol up + power long hold, it downloads, extracts, and on process of updating it gets stuck on 4%, waited half hour, but no luck
tried the above while going in recovery mode on phone and same options above, but it doesn't connect device.
tried to power on and on LG Logo, same did same above but no luck.
tried to go in S/W mode and do the same above, but it says communication problem, remove batteries and insert and restart update.
now thats all i could do and i know at the moment to do. flashing kdz is new thing for me, im gonna try it but i'm not sure where to start. where to download my kdz and which are right kdz for me.
this is where i need your help. please spare me some time and just tell me and think about what could i do now,
why my phone is stuck on lg logo even internal sdcard is not available, i don't know if it's unmounted by swapper, deleted or formated or partition removed. i can't use adb commands to push coz it's read only, I'm stuck
i can't even take my phone to warranty center coz it's rooted, it has root files in it which will show them it was rooted and warranty will void , even if i delete root files, how can i convince them what did i do with my phone that it's system files are touched and they can't be touched without being rooted.

NOTICE: ZV6 or higher Users - Received reports that attempting to revert to ZV5 may brick your device.
Recommend holding off for now, will try to get ZV6. (Also attempting to confirm.)
OK, I know folks have been in need and an anonymous source has been kind enough to share.
Here is the TOT for LS991 ZV5. I'm passing it on to @autoprime who will be adding more below on how to use it.
Please make sure to give Team Codefire a huge thanks for what they do with LG devices.
It's one thing to get restore files, it's a completely different (and much more challenging) one to do things like root it.
Cheers!
ZV5 TOT is out!
Don't use this TOT if you are on ZV6 or higher.. you will brick.
Thanks to an anonymous donor and to @garwynn we now have the ZV5 TOT. No more soft bricks! I have also broken down the TOT and uploaded the individual partitions.
Changelog:
Fix for Google Factory Reset Protection issue that does not allow user to bypass WiFi after performing a ##RTN on the device. User can now bypass WiFi
LG has also implemented a touchscreen enhancement into the software
ZV5 also updates the bootloader version from v0 to v1.
--TOT can be downloaded *HERE*
For those familiar with LG's.. this is flashed the same way as previous models... LG OG, G2, G3 etc etc.
1. Download LG Flash Tool. Swap the included mega.dll (click here to see video)
2. Download the LGFLASH_LG_G4_CODEFIRE.dll
3. Download the ZV5 TOT and unzip it.
4. If LG drivers are not already installed, download and install them.
5. Place phone into download mode
6. Set phones serial COM port to COM41 in Windows Device Manager. Unplug USB cable then plug it back in.
7. Run LG Flash Tool.
8. Select LGFLASH_LG_G4_CODEFIRE.dll for DLL, LS991ZV5_05.tot for TOT and check off "BOARD DL"
9. Hit OK to continue. Now hit the yellow start button. LG Flash Tool should now perform a CRC check on the TOT.
10. Unplug the USB cable again then plug it back in... wait 5-20 seconds and hopefully the flash should now start.
When it finishes it'll boot into miniOS. Hold the power button then press the "Normal Boot" option on the screen.
The above steps are "to the point" and there's not much hand holding so new LG flashers may be a bit confused. Feel free to ask questions in this thread and hopefully other users will chime in and assist with specific questions. But for extra help here is a how-to video going over the process. Only differences is phone model and TOT/DLL files used... rest can be applied.
Also here is a G4 Return to Stock thread... the lower section of the OP has step by step directions and screenshots for the entire LG Flash install process and TOT flash.
--Individual ZV5 partitions to flash manually can be downloaded *HERE*
Stock system.img is not included in that list due to redundancy. The stock rooted ZV5 system.img can be found in the Low Effort Root thread.
--ZV4-to-ZV5 OTA update.zip *NOTYETAVAILABLE*
This was links somewhere previously... I'll have to look for it again.
You must be on ZV4 and have a stock recovery and stock system partition for this to work.
Directions:
1. Rename downloaded .zip into update.zip
2. Remove USB cable from phone.
3. Power phone off.
4. Press and hold volume down + power until you boot into stock recovery.
5. Select "update with adb"
Code:
adb sideload update.zip
Alternate Directions to skip using ADB (needs microSD card):
1. Format microSD card as EXT4.
2. Rename downloaded .zip to update.zip
3. Move update.zip onto external SD card. EZ way would be to stick SD card in phone then connect phone to PC and use MTP.
4. Power off and boot into stock recovery (vol down + power)
5. Select the Update from SDCARD option.

thank you so much, whoever leaked this!
and of course OP and codefire..
:highfive:
You guys are awesome!
Edit: Getting a 403 Forbidden on the LGFLASH_LG_G4_CODEFIRE.dll
All fixed! Thanks autoprime!
Went through everything, after rebooting at the end of th LG Flash Tool, phone rebooted to Factory Reset Status 2, blue screen.
UPDATE 1: Now the LG Flash Tool is not even starting to flash. The phone is back in DL mode and eveything is as it should be, but the flash tool is not doing anything
UPDATE 2: Switched USB ports, oddly that made LG Flash Tool Work. USED BOARD DL AND IT WORKED.
Instructions for Linux?
Which TOT file should be used? The one posted by garwynn (1.59GB) or Autoprimes? (1.98GB) TOT? whats the differences?

I'm fairly certain they're the same, they're just using different compression methods (.7z in garwynn's post, .zip in autoprime's). .7z is a better method of compression, thus the smaller file size. The .tot files should be the same size when extracted.
Any way of using this TOT method after flashing the US991 firmware(I mistakenly flashed it thinking it's the KDZ for Sprint)? I keep getting "DoDownload Error!!!"

run windows in a virtual machine. or find a windows computer. or reverse LG's download mode protocol, extract the tot and find a way to flash it over a serial connection in linux.

Try flashing the rooted Sprint system.img thru download mode.. just as if you were rooting. putting sprint system.img on the phone might get around the error. actually... as I'm typing this.. you might be able to just edit the build.prop in the us991 rom. if you use a build.prop editor make sureyou also have busybox installed or many buildprop apps wont actually work. and you'll need root to edit build.prop of course.
if no root.. might as well just flash the rooted sprint system.img tho. see how that goes.
Thanks for this! I've been waiting almost a month! So happy it's finally out!!
Quick question; my phone is rooted and has been running xposed for weeks no problem. Today, the phone randomly rebooted and has since been in a boot loop that sometimes ends with "secure boot error error 1006" in top left corner of the android boot screen a second then restarts. I believe can still enter download mode to the point where it asks to "update firmware, do not unplug..."but sometimes I get the secure boot error here as well.
I assume I should attempt to fix this with the tot? Anyone else have any suggestions? I don't want to mess the phone up further if there are easier ways to fix this.

Nope. Use the tot and restore it then root it again.
If you've never used a tot or lg tools to restore am LG device it's very easy and won't take long at all.

After I completed the tot I attempted to reboot. I now have an security error 1007 error code in the top left and also a security error; authentication problem #9.
Edit: I pulled the battery and now it seems Android is starting and doesn't show the error code but freezes shortly after boot before it restarts itself?
I assume I have to reroot it to get around this error code as well but I am unable to enable mtp or usb debugging before it restarts

At the end of flashing the TOT with the Lg Tool you may have been on the screen where you have to "press normal + reboot* hopefully that's the option you pressed. IF you haven't a clue what I am talking about, then you for some reason got a different screen.
Once you use the TOT file and restore using the LG Tool (and the tutorial mentioned) you should be fully back to stock like you just got the phone, without any issues. Did you make sure you chose BOARD at the bottom left of the Manual selection of the dll & added the tot?
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
I responded in PM but yes, I used BOARD and I was able to get to the MiniOS screen where you hold power and select normal + reboot. It's after rebooting where it continues to a) boot loop till a blank screen appears and only a battery pull can trigger another boot B) Gets to android but then freezes before I can even activate C) Shows secure boot error code 1007 or Security error; authetication code #9 and prevents the boot.
The upgrade method triggers the same blue screen as others have mentioned. I really don't know what went wrong with the phone in the first place, I had been rooted and using xposed without any new apps or updates for the last couple of weeks. The phone literally rebooted while it was charging and hasn't been right since even after using the tot.
I may try my other computer for just to test -> Just tried and same thing happened; either boot loops, security error, or makes it past the Sprint Spark screen and android is starting screen before freezing.
Has anyone successfully restored TOT? Seems like a lot of folks are having issues.
Jessooca said:
I have. I tested the file just to make sure it worked. What issue are YOU having?
It's honestly a fairly simple procedure. You can watch this video (I believe it's also mentioned in the beginning of this thread)
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1WgXuxDbmbc Pretty much all you need is from 2:45 and on in the video.
Just be sure to select BOARD at the bottom of the screen, when selecting the dll and adding the tot file. At times people have forgot to change it from upgrade to Board.
-After it's finished
Pull the battery, hold Volume UP and Power, let go of Power on the LG Logo screen as mentioned for one second, Press power again while continuing to hold Volume Up and you'll get into recovery, do a wipe and reboot. It should fix any other issues.

I'm not having any issues. Just looking ahead if this is a safe recovery path.
