NVflash stuck on 'waiting for bootloader to initialize' - LG Optimus 2x

Hi Team,
MY lg 2X is bricked as hell, doesnt respond to anything, no boot logo at all, doesn't seem NVflahable, when i follow PaulOBrien's guide i get a hang at waiting for bootloader to initialize.
Code:
C:\flash\2x\2x-v10b-1300166062-nvflash>.\nvflash.exe --bct E1108_Hynix_512MB_H8T

waiting for bootloader to initialize
This is as far as i get, is there a physical error on the phone or am i doing something wrong?
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Try maliacrete thread dated 6/5/11 title big mess up after update. I tried it and it surprisingly work. Inatruction was in german tho..but np..google chrome can solvr the language issue. But beware..you'll end up with a brand new fone..
Newbie on the block.

Sadly the LG is not recognized by smartflash whatsoever.
Plugging the phone in while holding voldown yields no results, nothing on screen and nothing smartflash can see.
is the phone irreversibly bricked?

Have you change/swap the usb port as well like robbie said in the instruction? What i did was..i change the port, it still didnt recognise, the only thing pop up was lg logo..then i kind of give up and stop holding the vol key.
(Make sure u r on the 'ROM copy D/L' smartflash tab)
Now try the step again untill you see the lg logo (make sure batt off), then let go vol down key, then re-press the key..by now..the S/W loading pict should be seen n smartflash must be able to detect ur 2x n will fill the blank. Now press start on the smartflash, sit back n let the rest done by smartflash. Once complete, unplug, batt in, and restart as normal. A new born 2X should be ready to see what lies ahead of him/her..
Im still trying to recover all my setting, data n app manually. Btw..dont forget to bckup after cwm.

Hade the same problemen. I just installed the drivers in my laptop and then it worked. I cant do a nvflash with my desktop but works like a charm on my laptop. Try another pc.

is your phone an LG O2X or is it a T-mo G2X ?
Yeah, you just mentioned 2 phones in your post. the O2X P990, and the G2X P999. So we're guessing the problem is knowing which tools and ROMs work for your exact model.
Btw, there's a separate G2X forum if that's the phone that you have. This is exclusive for the P990.

[Q]CWM boot loop.Can't mount /emmc.nvflash not working.please help-SOLVED via nvflash

Friends..i am beginner+ to this forum.. i got stuck in a bad problem(bootloop) below. Please help me to save my O2x
Thanks in advance and appreciate all your help ..!!
Reason for bootloop:
===============
Flashed temasek CM7 and it worked perfectly.
Then flashed Horsepower 2X extreme kernel and it came up and worked.
Then when i re-started the phone, it enters into BOOTLOOP and stuck there forever.

Is there any possible solution to this ?

Power it off, remove battery, hold vol- and insert USB cable.
If it shows something about SW Update on the screen, then just smartflash a stock ROM, then start again. Saves dicking around.
sw upgrade boot doesn't work either
Thanks for ur reply Rusty...!!
I tried SW upgrade boot also, it didn't work .. flashes lg logo and turns off... if i keep on holding vol - button, it blinks again and again.
I think i bricked my phone.. Internal sd-card /emmc,/cache)is not recognized/mounted.
It's pretty much impossible to brick it. NVFlash will fix it.
When you tried, was the phone plugged directly to the motherboard or through a hub/front ports? Direct is best.
Yes, i tried through serial port and tried with other port also, didn't enter S/W upgrade screen.. (Mine is Dell XP15 - win7 )
Have installed latest LG drivers and nvflash drivers are latest and showing up in device manager also..!!
Through nvflash it stucked - bad data or hangs for hours..!! (have tried changing data cable too)

Before giving up, borrow some time on a desktop computer, connect directly to a port on the motherboard, try again. Use a USB2 port.
Re- Use a USB2 port.
When i connect to usb3 ports, it detects APX device and 'NVIDIA USB Boot-recovery driver for Mobile devices' appears in device manager.:angel:
But when i try usb 2 port, it prompts as unkown device(usb device not recognized) -[ Lg drivers work with usb 3 ports] and not able to proceed further.
I have always used usb3 ports for rooting O2x and all- it went fine, should i still need to debug on usb2 unknown device issue ?
Nvflash worked..enters sw upgrade screen
Friends, nvflash works successfully and files sent successfully and phone enters S/W upgrade screen.
If i release usb cable, put the battery and power on with vol-down, it again enters into CWM and not S/W upgrade screen.
Need to know what are the next steps to do , also what are the files that i have to put in sdcard ?
addition to this.. adb also working..
Friends,.. now nvflash works and i am to do some basic ADB commands also..!! [Smartflash not working - due to phone not entering s/w upgrade]
C:\Users\Senthilnathan\AppData\Local\Android\android-sdk\platform-tools>adb shell

boot init sys
cache init.rc system
data proc tmp

Need your help - What are next steps i should do ? What are the files i need to download to make my O2x work? :fingers-crossed:
Well if you can ADB in recovery, I guess you should download a ROM, stick it on your SD card and flash it.
OR
Remove battery, hold vol down and plug in USB cable to get the S/W Update mode, then you can smartflash.

Hi vsnstarguy,
I have a situation like yours. My device is dead and nothing shows on screen. I've tried that methods, nvflash, smartflash but my device is realy dead and I got the same status like you:

Hekp me!
I've opened a thread about this but nobody could help me yet!
Thing is, most people manage to get passed that point. If you've plugged directly into the motherboards USB ports, have you tried another computer?
@cl06 - nvflash and adb works..!!
@cl06 - Dude, is you phone p990 or p999 ? you seem to be trying with p999.
Nvflash p990 correctly, it will work.. (got this from Rusty thread)
or navigate it to your nvflash folder for p990 and try below command--
nvflash --bct E1108_Hynix_512MB_H8TBR00U0MLR-0DM_300MHz_final_emmc_x8.bct --bl fastboot.bin --download 14 cwm-int.img
In above nvflash command - after download for p999 it will be 5 for p990 it will be 14.
For some intermittent issues, i changed usb cable and now nvflash works but im still in bootloop for which our friends here will help us

[Q] Unable to unbrick my bricked phone

Dear People,
I have a problem with my LG P990. It keep hanging on the LG logo with a blue bar under it. I searched the symptons and I found out it is bricked.
This happend after i hard resetted my rooted phone. I tried the following things:
1. I have tried to use Smartflash but my PC wasn't able to recognize my phone when I plugged it in while holding the Volume Down button. I installed different drivers. The ones that were provided by a website and the drivers from the LG Support website.
2. I tried to use AIO toolkit but I get the following error I couldn't find any solutions for on the internet:

The phone will display a S/W download.. screen,

I have Windows 8.1 but also tested these 2 methods on a Windows 7 PC.
I read about another method from one of the XDA members called ProgMaq but every download gives a 404 Not Found message or my browers warns me to not go to the website because it is not safe.
What can I do to unbrick my phone?
You should try to change bootloader and follow the instructions in aio
Change SD Card file system?
