[Q] HELP, stuck in boot loop LG 2x - LG Optimus 2x

HI,
Here's how I screwed up my optimus 2x, would be thankful, if someone can point me in the right direction.
1. Installed V30b over the weekend, which worked fine without any issues.
2. Rooted with CWM using NVflash
3. Found this very slow so yesterday tried to go back to gingerbread
4.Installed a modified V20s by Felix, which still kept it on the ICS
5.Used the V20Q release to do an offline upgrade using AIO
6.Phone stuck on LG logo
7. Tried flashing GB CWM didnt work
8.Tried smartflashing V20Q, didnt work
9.Used LG software to recover it, which installed v30b again
10. on boot dead lg bot would appear, no revoery possible
11.flased ICS CWM using NVflash,
12. stuck on boot loop.
Somewhere in the middle I also tried putting a bootloader, and also cleared dalvik cache. I forgot where I did that.
but seems like i have screwed it badly
seems like some sort of partition and bootloader problem
can anyone help me go back to ginger bread please.

This is wrong in some many levels... ok not to worry anything can be fixed, bricked doesnt exist anymore,
1.- dowload a rom in .zip format that uses the NEW BOOTLOADER / ICS bootloader / Unlocked bootloader, its important, no old bootloader or GB bootloader, the V30b rom is a good one
2.- Use AIO Tools and select 4 and select new layout
3.- Use AIO Tools and select 8 and select the new bootloader
4.- Now the phone reboots and CWM shows on screen, select flash from external SD card or Internal SD card, find your rom in .zip extension/format and select it, will be flashed (means installed), now reboot
5.- enjoy.

LG optimus 2x p990 stuck in bootloop
Deal All,
i am new to XDA and having issue with my LG O2x.
I had manged to upgrade LG O2x on ICS and it was running fine, but last Saturday i tried to check update via LG update tool, it says update available, when respective file download completed, O2x started in boot-loop.
I am not able to figure out what went wrong and how to solve it ?
As i was not prepared all so no backup of ROM, no developer mode ON and top of that i am not able to get into recovery mode by precessing volume down + Power button.
i can only enter in software upgrade mode, can anyone help me out ?
Thanks in advance !
Rajesh

Check out AIO tool under stickies. Read first post carefully and you should be fine

Try to flash via smartflash a GB stock rom or Ics

[NVFlash][CWM][GB] NVFlash Cleaner with CWM5.0.2.8e for SU660

This is the NVFlash Cleaner for SU660
the LG official V30C firmware of the SU660 have different partition layout
so If you want to install the CyanogenMod 10 official Nightly build on to your ICS installed SU660 device, you have to rollback to the GB firmware to make it compatible with CM7/CM10 using smartflash or nvflash.
This NVFlash Cleaner helps rollback your ICS firmware to GB.
but all partitions will be ERASED, the old GB bootloader restored and the CWM5 will be installed onto both the boot and the recovery partitions.
The size of the NVFlash cleaner is only about ~5MB!
Cautions
●before using the NVFlash Cleaner, backup your device and copy backuped files into your PC.
●The internal storage will be erased, you have to format your internal storage before use it.
Procedure
1. Prepare APX mode.
2. run flash.bat to format your phone.
ChangeLog
● CWM5.0.2.8e update : support changing font

Thank you very much, this will save ICS user a great length (smartflash back to GB, root, install CWM) now just a click. But I heard aragorn said you have a kernel already. Pls release it - thank you very much. You seem of the highest technical level on SU660 side. Tks again

extract it. and you will have a .bat file. now connect your phone to computer in apx mode (by plugged the cable in when holding volume up and down keys). you should see your computer show apx device connected. then run the .bat file!
How to prepare APX mode? I dont have the drivers either
hey wkpark, do you have a O/C kernel for stock SU660 ICS? :good:
just tested the flash.bat under APX mode (s/w upgrade screen with battery out and press volumn up&down), it is not going anywhere.

You'd better to use the Smartflash cleaner. It's more faster and easier then the nvflash cleaner
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1987772
wkpark. I used the smartflash cleaner to wipe the partition, then install stock ICS and rooted (used Unlock Root), but I still can't boot into CWM?
tried "power+volumn down+home" method, Red LG logo -> the green android guy with neutron stomache ....and boot straight into ICS
also tried rom manager -> "Reboot into Recovery" and it won't work either, it shows the green android lying with red exclaimation mark not going anywhere.
Am I doing it correctly? What should I do?

Red LG logo?
The Red LG logo means you got the newer ice bootloader, seems like you''ve changed your bootloader or the smart cleaner is not correctly packaged by mistake
I will check the bootloader as soon as possible.

EDIT: okay, redo the smartflash cleaner, it can get into CWM...now what's the next step to apply stock ICS and OC kernel?
EDIT2: it seems like the stock ICS will overwrite the smartflash cleaner CWM. Apply smartflash clean (silver LG logo + CWM) -> smartlfash the stock ICS -> red LG logo (no CWM). How do I install CWM back?
EDIT3: very frustrated, tried reinstall CWM using your old method. and get this (see attachement)
please HELP!

wrong thread!!
the NVFlash cleaner or the smartflash cleaner only for the old GB bootloader
and for using the old GB/CM7/CM9 firmwares!!
okay, so there is no way to install CWM on the stock ICS?

v0.6 is out with the newly updated CWM5.0.2.8e
Do you have another way to install CWM? Such as install from SD card? My USB port was broken, and I can't install CWM via APX :|.
OK I am new to using LG's and so far it seems a lot more involved vs the Motorola Droids and Samsungs i've worked wtih. With that said, I AM A NEWB and might have bit myself in the rear.
So I obviously did something wrong... I thought I followed the process meticulously :crying:. Now I cannot mount the /emmc and /system on the internal storage since running nvflashcleaner. What did I do and how do i fix it lol. I downloaded v 0.3 and it wouldn't see the port for the phone. so I d/l'd 0.2 and had the same issue. 0.1 did the wipe no prob but now i'm at a brick wall. I downloaded Gingerbread from LG's site but no good if I can't access the system and the backup I created got wiped off the SD card (i accidently wiped the card) So needless to say, i'm having a bad day even after work LOL. I've got to have this up and running by saturday or i'm going to find myself buying a cheap android to get me by til i can figure this out (a friend already paid me for my existing phone when I got this one on ebay...big mistake I think) any ideas are greatly appreciated!!
*edit* I must add - I am trying to use CWM Recovery and it just hangs at "Nvflash started"
OK I found one download with nvflash that was listed for an SU660 but ended up being for the P990 LOL. outside the touchscreen not working, It booted up to the OS so thats a start. so with that... just have to find the Froyo OS or Gingerbread I can get working on here

hi wkpark
Thanks for doing this!
Unfortunately, I was unable to format my internal sd card from within cwm, and I don't know how to do it with my computer. I ended up being stuck with cwm and a bootloader without being able to transfer any rom zips to my phone. SO, I used this thread to help me roll back the old way. This should help anyone who is in a similar position.

A bug I spot.
The phone wont boot up when the battery is drained and I insert the USB cable. Stock rom will boot normally, but this version will be stuck at the "white lock" screen.

When using Smartflash tool, you should be on "Download mode or SW mode" (Turn off phone, pull out battery, run Smartflash tool, hold Volume down and insert USB cable from PC. wait until Smartflash tool detects your phone)
In nvflash, you should be on "APX mode". Before going APX mode, make sure you installed the APX drivers first. Then turn off phone, pull out battery, hold Volume up and down then connect USB cable. wait until PC detected the device as "Nvidia USB Boot-Recovery" in device manager or APX device in notification bar.

So ive done everything in the video, but when i finished and rebooted, the phone stucked at lg logo. I dont have anye recovery of mine because i deleted everything from the card. what can i do ? :/

Rooted V10F Wind - Issues Installing CWM Recovery

Hey everyone I recently completed rooting the v10c and successfully upgraded to v10f on the wind/canadian version of the LG P880 Optimus 4X HD, however after when I try to install the CWM (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1826378) I followed every instruction many times but whenever I try to click boot into recovery the phone will freeze at the wind logo on boot. Afterwards the only thing I am able to do is reflash the KDZ file back to v10c and start over again. Anybody have any ideas how to fix this and install the CWM?
Thanks again.

Are you on new bootloader when you tried to install CM10.1? (New Bootloader = LG with Red splash, Old Bootloader = Pure White LG letters with Icon) You must be on old Bootloader (For Gingerbread) before doing so.... I recommend you clean first the bootloader and partition using WKPARK's file and guide here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1968280, APX Drivers can be grabbed here: https://www.box.com/s/c5d0e911cz9jhz3ab9y1 Credits to umar for reuploading. After that you will have to mount cleaned system on CWM and format your internal SD, then flash nightly rom patched by Wkpark's CM10 patcher so that buttons would work, and flash su660ics' provided kernel by a vietnamese developer here.
Well,thank you verry much for the info!
Anyway,now i`m back tt the stock ROM (GB 2.3.4).
But i still wanna instal CM10.1,or at least CM10 and i`m still wondering why the installation didnt work ??
I mean,i have followed 100% a tutorial on how to install CM10.1.
I tried once but the phone booted with the same ICS 4.0.4,then i tried again,the same result,and the last time when i tried i got stuck at that LG logo,but now its ok.
But how can i install CM10.1 or another version ?? I didnt do anything wrong...i think it didnt work because there are some problems that i`m not aware of...

ParanoidAndroid v2.6 Installation Issue (Phone not booting)

I have a LG optimus 2x smartphone.
Today I was trying to flash the ParanoidAndroid v2.6 rom instead of my current MIUI v2.4.20 rom.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2097807
Everything went fine i.e. I wiped data, formatted the system etc......Then, I flashed the paranoid android rom + GAPPS which also went well. Unfortunately, I forgot to flash the latest kowalski kernal and rebooted my phone (from CWM recovery).
Now, the problem is that the phone is stuck at the LG boot screen and doesn't go beyond that. Also, I am unable to go into CWM recovery as well.
Can anyone help me here to what should i do to restore my phone or at-least go into CWM recovery mode so that I can recover my phone to my previous state (I had backed up my kernal and system before flashing your rom)?

Well, you haven't lost recovery (cwm) because that's not overwritten when flashing a rom from recovery. Make sure you boot to cwm the correct way(vol- and power button, release them a few seconds art the lg logo appears, if it's white it's old bootloader, pink is new bootloader).
