Bricked device. What to do now?

Hi xda!
I accedently bricked my phone last monday. I wanted to flash stock ROM from Blazing Dragon and while flashing via smartflash I got an error. Since then my phone won't start. The only signal I get is when I connect it to my PC. It says that either an "Unknown Device" is connected or I can connect it as an APX-device.
no matter what I try, I get no response from the display. And I tried to restore via nvflash etc.
I'm confused and dont know what to do now. I aprecciate any help!

back to stock rom, and try to re-install ur driver on pc.
good luck

Your device enter in download mode?
Follow this guide and install suggested driver...if it doesn't work try to contact lg assistance

Easy Root Official V30A

I realize root for V30A, (no data wipe and original bootloader)
- Download it -> http://www.multiupload.nl/3NOTPXFDSB
- Connect to pc Optimus 2X in APK MODE (Nvflash mode: no battery and volume "+" and "-" pressed)
- Start Flash.bat and please wait.
- At the end, Optimus 2X V30a is rooted, Enjoy

Thanks, if I can update my phone via update tool gonna try this.

Thanks a lot! ATM, downloading V30A. Have slow connection so will take huge time. Meanwhile can someone confirm this root mod? Anyone tried? Is root perfect?

Are you going in S/W upgrade mode for NVFlash? Thats wrong. You have to to in APX mode for NVFlash. SW Upgrade mode is for SmartFlash, not applicable here.
Check my current signature to find how to go in APX mode and install APX drivers. Screen is blank(looks like switched off) when you go in APX mode.

and another mistery????
how come you can post in dev section with only 3 posts?

look at his date of join.It is hard to believe his no. of posts in that amount of time.

Confirmed working.
Side info: had problems with recovery driver , I needed to reinstall drivers and then when connected to pc I needed to run true all the usb connection options like , charging only , mass storage , tethering ,... this way it started to install all different drivers.
I received ICS update today when connecting to the LG update tool , it said a update was available and warned me to remove external SD while it was going to update to ICS.
Removed the external and started the update , (V30a android 4.0.4 was what I received) , Then I reconnected the phone and it installed PC sync for ICS and blablabla.....
I gotta say it is really smooth.

Anyone could say how long to wait until its save to stop the Nvflash?
Its now over 1-2 hour and seems not to happen anything anymore.
And i did that nvflashing often before. The driver is the same as last time.
No problems in device manager. Its an XP Laptop without any Antivirus or Firewall.
I had the latest rooted nvflash version on my LG P990 before that.
In the CMD window it tells only Nvflash started and the Display shows:
"S/W Upgrade Please wait while upgrading".
Never had that before and i am a bit nervous to kill it
But i think i read somewhere i can do it again also if i stoped it.
---edit---
Ok i stoped and redid it. Also made wipe with cwm.
But this flash isnt working for me.
I get:
"failed executing command 14 NvError 0x120000
command failure: partition download failed"
I tryed to give it an external SD, full wipe and cache wipe. Nothing.
Error stay BUT only with this flash offert here.
I had a backup flash of 20L and that could be flashed without any problem.
I had adroid 2.3.4
1035.21_20110725
kernel 2.6.32.5
===FINAL EDIT===
Going back to official 2.2.2 changed nothing! This "easy way didnt work for my P990
Solution:
Smartflash worked fine!
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2028946
Bin+FLS flash
Rooting
As mentioned Solution 1 here didnt work at all. Cant say why.
I tryed really a lot and spent to much time on that topic.
Wasnt as easy as before on 2.x.x...and none of the 3 Solutions worked for me!
But a combination works fine.
The Solution 3 didnt work for me.
"=3= (thanks to joiN85)" didnt work...got a boot loop ((
Solution 2 "=2= (thanks to RobYyY)" worked half...
but i had to use the "Superuser-3.1.3-arm-signed-tradotto.zip"
on an external sd and not the SuperSU Root.zip.
Finally a hint that i is very important:
Dont forget to set the correct Date and Time or google will
Display a connection error.
Great work and sooooo fast... I wanne say thank you for everyone
who made it possible. Good work!

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.

Take out the battery, wait 30 sec. and put it back, press vol- and connect to PC while pressing.

Nothing is working
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)

Out of ideas... you can try to use the official lgmobile tool and use the emergency mode to recover it...

No. That just leads me to the LG Mobile Support tool, and it can't do anything.

Did you try to get SW upgrade with battery in? (I had the same problem)

Yes.
I have tried both with the battry in the phone and taken it out

[Q] Please Help! can't swicht on - stop on LG logo

Hello,
I'm new and I just starting.
Everything going well, but when I want to install CMW I made an error, I don't unlock bootloader before the install, and now when I switch on my phone (lg p880) I see LG logo and nothing happens.
- I tried to "Update firmware through flashing the kdz files" by post on XDA, I have error when I press button 'launch software update' in KDZ_FW_UPD, error about Up text Ex mod2. I add my phone have root!
- I tried to unlock booloader in All in One but my phone don't have debbuging switch on, thats information show me.
- I tried in SDK Manager with fastboot, eclipse and drivers are installed but something maybe I do wrong and isn't work too.
- My computer don't see phone, when I connected phone to computer holding VOL-
How can I do something? How to install maybe orginal ROM, but I want to install Avatar ROM on XDA and this is the beginnig I read that to install the ROM I must have root, unlock bootloader and CWM.
I can go only to orginal recovery and s/w update (but there is nothing doing, when I connected to computer holding VOL- , my computer can't see phone, and I don't have connection with LG Mobile Support Tool)!!!
So now I have nothing
Please HELP me, I don't have phone now and this is terrible.
