Can someone post detailed instructions on how to do this? The instructions aren't detailed at all, flashing a new recovery was very simple on my Nexus One and Nexus S. I'm not familiar with Nvflash at all.
This last weekend my g2x got stuck in a bootloop, and I got screwed over. I ended up getting a replacement, but next time I won't be so lucky.

next time if you get stuck in a bootloop, just hold vol down + power button for about 10 seconds and your phone will do a factory reset. there was no need for you to return your phone.

Yeah there was, because the factory reset didn't solve the problem. I was going to return it anyway because the phone was defective to begin with.
Rom Manager works too, I just flashed CWM with that and it works fine

that doesn't replace the stock recovery. So if you get stuck in a bootloop, there's no easy way out.

thanks so much, its retarded that you gotta use the recovery for the i9023 tho
Yeah I'm not sure why either, kinda stupid and took 3 hours of reading to find that ffs... o well works wicked now.
would this work for me? I'm stuck at the splash screen! I'm not rooted though and have never attemtped to root. This randomly happened as my battery was dying now i've been stuck with it for the past 48 hours!

I'm not sure if this would work for you or not. If you turn the phone off, and then hold volume up and push the power button (hold both) until you get to the bootloader interface. If you can get there, you should be able to install the clockwork recovery and put on a custom rom. But on the other hand, if you did nothing to it in the first place, maybe you should take it back and get a new one?
Hey all
Before anyone mentions that i should be searching around more, i would like to say that i've been on multiple threads and they all state the same thing (use NVflash to flash CWM and then boot into CWM but the solution did not work for me past flashing CWM and then trying to access recovery after) and i wasn't able to find one that had a similar problem as mine.
I have CWM flashed through NVflash and was running CM7.1 RC1. I took a screenshot with the 'shootme' app and proceeded to look at the gallery to make sure it came out okay. The gallery crashed and i was sent to the home screen. I swiped to a different homescreen when my phone froze halfway through the transition to the next screen. No combination of buttons/long presses were able to get me out of it so i went ahead and did a battery pull. So my dilemma is that now i'm stuck at the LG boot logo with no blue status bar under it. It freezes there and will not do anything every time i boot up. volume down+power does not give me access to recovery nor does any other button combo get me past the LG boot logo.
Are there any other methods i might be able to use like ADB or what not to get myself out of this situation? or at least into recovery? Any comments or suggestions would be greatly appreciated as i've been searching for hours with little help and my eyes are starting to get strained.
hmmm.. I know it's a simple question, but I gotta ask.. are you holding the pwr and volume down button long enough? you have to keep holding it even after you see the LG screen.. Keep holding until you see the 2nd screen?
If so.. do the nvflash again? Edit: Not sure if I would do this without getting further guidance tho..

This. I remember when I boot looped my phone I had the problem of letting go of the volume key too early, you need to hold down volume and power from a totally powered off phone until recovery actually starts and you see the green "android" logo of CWM.
Try re-flashing CWM, NVFlash CAN fail. There is literally nothing you can do within the OS that will prevent recovery from working. Either you did something wrong somewhere along the recovery process or you discovered an entirely new problem with the phone. I'm going to hazard a guess and say it's the former.
Thanks for the response guys. I wish that it was the case of not holding the buttons long enough. I have tried numerous times with the buttons held down for a long period of time. I even held the combo down for almost 5 minutes a few times.
Every time i try to boot up, it won't go past the LG boot screen so i would pull the battery out and go through flashing CWM through NVflash again. I'm sure I'm not missing anything because everything goes through and gets sent to the phone successfully.
I did happen to run into a thread that was closely similar to mine but his method was to just keep reflashing CWM and the stock recovery back and forth every time it failed until it turned on. I might have to try that if i cannot figure out this problem out soon. Not being able to use this phone is killing me! heh.
I just joined your club. Wow this sucks.
So apparently this is a whole new problem that's been found? Every other help thread seems to point to using NVflash or remaking the partitions due to a bad flash using an O2x based file instead of G2x.
But none of those solutions come close to doing anything. There has been some people with the same problem as me but aren't proactive at all enough to get someone's attention, so i'm guessing this problem is getting pushed to the side with people just going about getting their phones replaces/buying new ones.
I did happen to run into a thread on paulobrien/modaco's forum that had people using NVflash to get out of any sticky situation like this. It just reverts everything back to the stock factory settings but with root. We cannot use this though because he hasn't built it to be compatible with our LGP999's because everything was built for their UK LGP990's. Maybe that's a start to getting this solution fixed?
I hate to say this, bit you might have to call t mobile and get a replacement. Flash back to stock recovery and they won't know you messed with anything.

Don't send back....you'll get same defacement a battery pull go into nvflah and go back stock then flash nv flash fix pArtitions
As I have mentioned before, NVflash does NOT give me access to my recovery let alone solve anything else. NVflash DOES work and does sucessfully send both CWM and the stock recovery but when I try to boot into either of them, let alone just power on normally, it simply DOES NOT go past the LG boot screen. it just hangs there doing nothing at all until I pull the battery out and do the same process over until it just hangs again.
while it is on/stuck at the LG screen, my computer does not recognize it so i cannot even try and run ADB commands. It does however, recognize it when I plug it in using the volume buttons held down when I use NVflash but there's nothing else I can do besides use NVflash obviously.

Did you ever find a solution to this issue? Because my phone is doing this...
I attempted to restore my phone back to the wrong backup that was from a galaxy sII (2.3.4 i think); needless to say, the restore failed. I then restarted my phone from CWM and it gets stuck at LG screen.
I have tried to NVflash back to stock; nothing. same thing reflashing back to CWM.
ideas?
have you tried this link out yet?

From what I heard is that you need to remove the battery, then boot into recovery or something.

Use smartflash for the p990 but only use the p999 ap.bin file which will put the rom and kernel back to stock p999.
Rom for recovery always fixes any soft brick back to stock 2.3.3 OTA. It's saved my phone multiple times from stuck on S/W screen to being stuck on lg logo or even the dreaded can't mount sdcard-cache errors in cwm.

I used the following method when Clockworkmod became corrupted and was unable to mount my sd card. I had just wiped everything on my phone intending to install a new rom when the issue happened. I could not even get to the S/W upgrade screen. It saved my phone. Hope it works for you.

Kwes1020 pointed me in the right direction last week. Be sure to give a thanks to ILUHA_89 who came up with the fix.
Amazing how people are soo lost without providing them link after link to other threads. They are soo lazy and can't follow simple directions, each time i get a new phone i go to that section on xda and soak up all the information as it usually is already there. It's just funny is all i guess.

It's really not that big a deal. I was brand new to android once and asked all sorts of things.
I, like you, happen to read everything I can get my hands on. Some struggle going through all the info. I was here the day the forum opened, so I kind of remember where everything is.
Some are lazy and others just have no idea what the heck is going on and are intimidated by certain processes. I would rather help someone instead of listening to them ***** about their broken phone.
I have searched threads all over XDA similar to this one to ensure it is not a duplicate. Sadly I have not found any so I hope one of you at XDA can help me. I got my Galaxy S3 and rooted it as soon as it was available. Then two days ago I flashed Cynogenmod 10 onto it without a hitch. I liked it a lot but sadly there were some shortcomings so I wanted to reflash stock. This is where I believe I messed up. I looked up some instructions, and gave it a go. When I turned on the phone, the annoying verizon bootup image and sound came on, but my phone goes no further. I have no care about my data, I just want my phone back to stock, could a developer assist me in this?
If so I would be eternally grateful.
Just reboot to recovery (hold home, volume up, and power). Wipe everything and flash again.

Im having a similar issue as the OP. I made a mistake last night and flashed cwm via rom manager and then loaded CM10. Now my phone just bootloops, but I can get into cwm. MY nandroid backup wont load, says "file invalid". I try to get into odin mode but when I hold the volume buttons and the power it just boots into cwm.
Help!

ALL questions in General Section.
To answer you.. try wiping data & cache in CWM.
If you don't have CWM, then you did do something wrong cause you needed to have that prior to rooting.

JIG will not help hard brick. PM me and I can offer some help
Hello my wonderful XDA folks! Long time reader - second time poster.
Like everyone else, I'm pretty experienced and understand I need to look at everything before I post - and I have. Not one answer has helped.
Here's the deal: I'm on the nightlies from CM11 and sometime earlier this week I updated to a newer version. When I did that, I got stuck in a bootloop. Typically, from here I'd boot into recovery and restore a backup.
Here's the kicker - My home button is non-responsive. I've been using the phone like a GNex, but now I'm in deep.
I've called to get the home button repaired, but if I can skip that, I will. Any suggestions on how to get to recovery? I'm a little new to ADB, but from what I've heard, ADB only works once the phone has booted completely.
Thank you, my people! :good:

You can get your phone into Odin mode with a Jig and flash over your firmware. Jigs are pretty cheap, just look around on eBay or Amazon.
