achieve APX mode and other tricks adhoc - LG Optimus 4X HD

Since this model is new, i assume all facts are new too.
- SAFE mode is started by holding Vol+ and power button at the same time at startup.(adb shell is enabled, nothing is running(single user mode?)
- FIRMWARE upgrade mode seems to be Vol- with USB cable connected at power-on.
- APX mode is started by holding Vol+ and Vol- down at the same time at power up(when pressing power).
* since we do not have a bootloader.bin yet, it will be hard to try anything. can we use htc onex bootloader.bin?
* tegra3 is also locked with a SBK, which we do not have either (i believe).
-Battery mode
Turn off mobile. attach USB cable to pc and mobile. turn on mobile.
- adb reports shell not found and some root details?
im still digging into the fastboot mode, so information can be extracted on the rom rel. etc.. maybe someone already knows?
ill keep this updated, if i find out more.

APX drivers
Do you have APX drivers for 4X ?

not yet, i assume those for asus prime should work as well?

it not work.

@Dexter_nlb
I read that Asus will release NVFlash for Asus Prime.
Do you think it will also work for us?

I believe they for a fully working apx mode since prime got a full recovery using apx mode?

recovery details added.
thanks to 911rsr

Nothing happens. Nothing shows on screen. When i hook it to computer, it makes a noise that it found some device, and in device manager shows as APX, instead of as modem or anything else....

Bricked. APX mode only
Did you find how to fix it?. I have the same issue after a failed upgrade using LG mobile support tool.
No SW upgrade mode, no screen or leds activity, no nothing. When is connected to PC, APX device is recognized. I found some drivers and the APX device is displayed now as "NVIDIA USB Boot-recovery driver for mobile devices". I'm stuck there. I was looking into NVflash utility but after the command "nvflash --sync" only get "unknow device found"
Can anybody help me please?.
How can I get into SW recovery mode or something that shows some activity from the phone?.
Thanks and regards

i guess not much can be done. sent mine to the service center and got it back 3 days later fully functional. i guess it's easier to restore for LG since they have all the tools and magic keys.

Hello!
just happened to me.
apx mode you solved anything?
one can solve?
Thank you!

NVflash doesn't work, at least after upgrade to JB.
Before give your devices as bricked, try to enter in S/W without battery a few times and after with battery on.
Sometimes stressing the device have some results.
But the best you can do is take it to service.

Thanks gingerboy92. I follow your advice and my phone is in a LG service center now. Hope they can fix it.
I think that's the only safe way to recover it. Looks like Tegra 3 devices have security keys that are unique for each processor and without them you can't go further.
Amigo ruedaslocas, I tried many times to do what you say, unsuccessfully. Thanks anyway.

Lgp990 stuck at logo screen, not detected by windows

Hi there, I'm new here but I have been following this forum for a long time.
Here's my problem:
I own a LGP990 with DJANGO rom. apart from the random stuck in the DJANGO loading screen which required me to reinstall it, it was all working fine.
Until yesterday, when I plugged it to recharge. The battery charged for a while and then got stuck for hours when almost done.
I unplugged it and try to turn it on but since that moment it always gets stuck at LG logo screen and when plugged it doesn't display any battery charging. I then tried to start recovery to reinstall from zip as I did every time it got stuck in the django loading screen, but recovery does not start.
No problem, I thought, lets smartflash/nvflash a stock rom and i'm good to go. Wrong, the phone won't even get recognized by windows, though I installed the driver several times (disabling driver signature as well) and running it as admin; i tried different driver versions, different usb cables... It does not even play that background sound when plugging usb devices...
I'm using windows 7 32bit.
That's it, I have ran out of ideas... anyone got one? (besides sending it to assistance, since warranty is voided)
little edit: whenever i plug the battery the phone start by itself!

I meant to enter recovery. If your phone turns on when you put in the battery, the power button is stuck in a connected position so to enter recovery remove the battery, press the vol- and then insert the battery. If you get your phone to enter recovery and reflash the rom I will tell you what to try to fix the issue.
1.)remove battery
2.)press volume - and volume +
3.)connect phone to pc via usb
4.)download apx driver
5.)(go to device manager install manually apx driver, select the folder where you downloaded and extracted apx ini driver file
6.)flash using nvflash
7.)enjoy.

in AIO you have an option to smartflash roms not nvflash. You need to unpack a KDZ rom and install the ROM via smartflash

mmmmhhhhh..... change usb port, change cable, reinstall the drivers. other than that I am at loss
AIO tool has an option to install Nvflash driver. Its the last option in a different color.
Or you could try to reinstall LG driver. I just downloaded the latest driver from lg support tool today. It works fine.
And be noted that you have to hold down both volume up and down while plugging the USB cable to enter nvflash mode. Holding vol down while plugging the cable in will enter boot loader mode which is not the same thing. Remember to remove the battery first of all.

Update failed - black screen!

I tried to update my LG P880 with LGMobile support tool yesterday.
After connecting the phone, I clicked on Start updating. A window popped up, telling me that it was downloading.
When it came to the update part, it lost connection with the phone. I did exactly as it said I should do (unplug, take out battery and put in in again, turn on the phone and connect it to the pc), and it restarted with the updating.
On about the same point as last time, the pc lost the connection with the phone. I did the same as last time, but now, the phone just doesn't boots into the S/W update screen.
The phone is NOT booting, NOT working to flash kdz, and it is NOT detectet as a phone, neither by the pc nor the LGMobile support tool, but my pc detects a device called APX when I connect the phone to the pc.
What can I do? And what is wrong?

LGMobile support tool needs the phone to be in normal mode (generaly...).
No SW or other, just turn ON your phone and connect it to PC.

I don't get the SW upgrade screen when connecting to PC, the phone is an "Unknown device" og named APX under device manager, and the KDZ program cannot find the device.
Is it any other tings I can try?
so if its apx, you can simple flash it via APX mode with nvflash, right ?
(i remember when i rooting my Optimus 2X via APX , that flashed prerooted system.img... so you can try this method)

[Q] Optimus 4X HD full brick

I tried to put the CM10 on my phone, after installing the zip in recovery mode, I rebooted the device and it never returned to start. Does not show a single light. Do not enter in any way with any combination. When I connect by usb the only thing that appears in device manager is "apx device." Already tried so many things and nothing worked.
anyone have any idea what's going on?
by the way, I tried a lot here in xda before opening a thread.

No, no, no and no. the only sign of life when it is connected to the pc. Appears "apx" in device manager.
Yeah you are in apx mode, which is basically the boot section of the nvidia tegra chipset.
You should be able to boot normally by unplugging the phone, remove battery for a few seconds, reinsert and hold power button for about 10 seconds
Also try holding power and vol+ (hold them a while) you should be able to boot into normal recovery

I've try that but dont work.
In device manager the apx device is it properly installed or does it have the triangle?
When it first connected as apx device it probably asked you for drivers, i doubt you installed them.
I don't know if the apx drivers for the 04 are out already, check these terms in xda i know some people have been working on them.
Maybe you can find them here
If the device isn't bricked you are in a situation in which you should be able to flash stuff.
For some this method worked:
Try turn off phone
take battery out
hold vol- and put usb cable into phone
if s/w mode starts put battery in and flash kdz
Otherwise check this thread out
or this
I have to go out and can't follow you for a while, sorry

The only way for you to get connected in APX is without battery, connect to PC while pressing vol- & vol+.
Anyway... why you want to do that? APX mode doesn't work in JB.
Ok... I got it.
Did you tried to deactivate the APX device in device manager?
You can try to performe the bootloader unlock again (run adb and connect the phone while the program wait for device...)
http://www.4shared.com/rar/HFf4newq/LGO4X-UNLOCK-BOOTLOADER.html (instructions inside).
Or try to get in SW mode by trying untill it works... (connect to PC while pressed vol-).
Any update on the problem?

No, i think what happened was that all the firmware is erased and this naturally gave access to apx that should be hidden by the software. Probably there was some error when I wipe to put the CM10. I see no other explanation.
The phone is actually mine. Already sent it to warranty hoping they'll fix it.
Resuming, the phone went unexpectadly in APX mode and havent found a way of quitting that mode, couldn't boot S/W neither bootloader.
And btw the phone is carrier locked and to be honest I'm not sure if it might be part of the problem or not. Anyway in about two weeks the phone should be back and hopefully fixed. If not I'll check here for some more help guys, thanks for attetion so far

Phone locked at logo boot, usb debugging disabled

Hi all,
I rooted my phone and unclocked bootloader.
My rom is a stock rom.
I managed to install CWM recovery using lg-optimus-4xhd-recovery-v1.0.apk but something happened.
I rebooted my phone in recovery mode and it is always locked to LG logo.
Pressing Volume up and power I can see normal android system recovery, wiping cache and factory reset don't work.
I haven't usb debugging enable so my computer can't see the phone connected with usb cable, and it's impossible for me flashing the phone with kdz rom methods.
What can I do?
Thx in advance for your answers
No one can help me?
Flashing with kdz results in "phone was not found", is there a way to resolve? I've tried with ubuntu, OS (adb) only see my phone if usb debugging is enabled and it isn't, and with a laptop running win8, installing LG drivers and so on, nothing works.
This is salvagable
If you can get the stock recovery mode, all is not lost, all of the important bits are still functioning.
Power down. Hold VolDn and insert the USB cable. If you get the Software Update screen with a green icon you CAN recover the phone. It may require a battle with Windows to get it to play nice, Windows and USB is always a hit or miss affair; but the phone is ok if that screen appears. Do not use the VolUP + Power LG Recovery mode, there isn't a known tool for that in the wild.
I don't normally run Windows and the couple of times I have booted it to do this it required some hassle and usually skipping the nice way since I had never installed the bundled LG Desktop stuff before things went wrong. So just do what I did, pick the Emergency mode that requires inputting the IMEI instead of letting it detect your phone and then let it fix things for you.

Many thanks for your answer, I resolved the problem late at night, yes, after a hard battle with windows.
I installed windows 7 32 bit, I tried a lot of Lg drivers, 3.8.1 maybe the best, after inserting the USB cable with SW Update screen some LG peripherals were recognized but the result in KDZ_FW_UPD was always "phone was not found", then I tried connecting USB cable with the Phone in Android recovery mode ( power & Vol up), and OS added a couple more peripherals, and attempting again with SW Upgrade mode worked.

Hello there... Any solution you found? I am stuck with my zuk z2 in same situation ?? any help ?
I have a similar problem.
What caused the black screen? -
History:
I booted to test mode at 2.5.033 ST, the phone got stucked at this menue there was no way to get out. TWRP Restore to Nandroid bougt only black screen after 2nd vibration and ZUK logo.
I fixed the Test mode bug, by flashing the ZUI 1.9.104 ST Stock ROM via QPST.
After the phone was "repaired" I unlocked the bootloader, installed TWRP, made a nandroid backup of fully stock ROM and restored a nandroid backup from before the test mode problem.
The nandroid restore was successful, I rebooted the phone and it was "dead". Black screen, only rebooting (perioldy vibrating) there was no end, until the battery was empty.
I got no luck to reach any mode with tricky button pressing (vol+ pwr; vol- pwr; vol+ vol- pwr; usb in vol-) nor Windows detecting the phone. That's why I decided to remove the back glass cover, to got access to the battery.
Now I'm able to get the phone detected by my PC.
What I did: disconnect the battery, connect the phone to my computer, pressed the vol- button and connect the battery.
This made my PC able to detect the phone, but no I have an other problem. Windows only detects the phone as "unknown usb device (device descriptor request failed)". I don't know any way to install the driver....
Maybe anyone is able to help me or has any tip?
Thanks!
Cheers,

What id shown in unknown device.
Like ven_9102&dev_1234
Maybe with editing quallcom drivers for your device id, you can still install it.
and if luck qpst can recognize it as qualcomm debug mod

Hi,
Thanks for your quick response.
The Hardware ID: USB\DEVICE_DESCRIPTOR_FAILURE
"Error Message": This device has been stopped because it has reported errors. (Code 43)
An error occurred while requesting the USB device descriptor.

Alright bro, there is one method you can try.
http://zukfans.eu/community/threads/howto-flash-a-stock-zui-rom-zuk-z2-pro-z2121-only.57/
I assume your phone is a brick now. The only method you can use is the 9008 unbrick mode. (AKA QBST)
There are a few things you need to prepare before you save ur phone. U need to download the require application that the website provided above, after you set everything up,
make sure you download the latest 2.5 QBST rom,
http://bbs.lenovomobile.cn/z2pro/t554654/
Because ur phone wont be able to enter 9008 through software, thus u need to do the following.
1. Load the content XML fille,
2.Turn off your phone. After it's fully shutdown
3. press and hold the volume up button for 3 seconds
4. press power button while hold the volume up (press it for 0.5second and keep holding it)
5. after 0.5 seconds, plug in the usb right away
6. the QFIL tool should appear the Qualcomm usb QD loader
7. the download button should turn blue
8. flash it and wait for reboot

Thanks for your tip.
I followed your described procedure, but the phone will not be recocnized by the PC.
1st: I loaded QFIL XML file. (By the way this tut is made by me)
2nd: I disconnected the battery (The phone can't be turned off normally!)
3rd, 4th, 5th
6th: nothing happend!
7th: "-"
8th: "-"
The only way the phone will detected by the PC:
1st: disconnect battery
2nd: plug in USB (PC and Phone)
3rd: press VOL+ or VOL- or PWR button (doesn't matter which one)
4th: connect battery
5th: detected as "unknown usb device (device descriptor request failed)"

Yes, I did exactly you described. Sorry but this isn't working.
I don't know what I should do. Even a repair shop couldn't fix it.
Maybe I need to do this:
http://bbs.lenovomobile.cn/z2/t121791/?highlight=900e
But I don't want to destroy my PC (3000 bugs)

I will report the result.
OK. I made the deepflash cable.
After using it there is no difference between pressing one of the button combinations I recently mentioned (VOL+ or VOL- or PWR).
The phone will be detected as Unknown device. After intalling my modified driver to match the unknown ID, QFIL don't detect the COM Port.
Hello had the same problem, only with the difference that my battery was not completely discharged.
What has helped:
1 Start QFIL Tool
2 Press the volume +
3 Connect the original cable to the PC
4 QFIL Tool recognized the phone and I could play an original Rome.

Ps. Is now the battery cover (glass) broken?
No, I used a hairdryer, a razorblade, plastic tool and a suction cup to lift the backcover glass.
The glass is fully intact no damages.
You have good nerves. I would not have expected that.
But in the end, it does not matter if it does not start anymore.
Thank you again for your great instructions for playing and rooting the mobile phone.
I hope you get your phone back.
Mfg
Good and bad news
The guy unbricked the phone successfully, I received it today.
Now I have an other problem:
The phone is very very slow and laggy now.
The problem occurs everywere, Recovery, boot (the bootlogo laggs), booted System, also the test mode laggs now
Furthermore the sceen flickers sometimes and at the right side the sceen is mirrored sometimes.
Did anyone has an idea?
What I did today:
reflash through qfil
1.9.104_ST
2.3.044_ST
ZUI_2.5.335_ST
Hi m_atze, I am exactly in the same situation as You. After using deep flash cable method, I got "unknown usb device (device descriptor request failed)". Could You tell me what was the solution to unbrick the phone?
