I am able to get into CWM recovery but unable to install any OS on the phone. Ive tried installing all sorts of .zip, didnt work. NEED HELP.
It is Wind mobile Canada version of Optimus 2X.
How about a better explanation of "didn't work".
And, specific information about which roms you've tried to flash.
Also how did you flash CWM?

i bet you he didn't flash it through nvflash correctly or maybe he didnt use nvflash at all.

I have used NVflash via command prompt on windows XP. when i hold the power+ -volume I see another LG logo( since I'm using the latest version 5 of clockwork mod recovery). I download rome like eagleblood, weaponG2x, WindG2x(some one had posted original android), miuiandroig2x etc. I have been creating .zip of each of them and pasted onto my sd card via mounting sd card from CWM recovery. then installed .zip from sd card and selected each of them but it says INSTALLATION ABORTED before starting. Not able to get any rom installed. Please help.
kdz updater crashes after 100% under download section. it says decompressing necessary files and doesn't respond after 100% and crashes. I've tried win 7 home basic 64 bit, xp professional 32bit.
Does not respond after saying NORMAL MTK UPGRADE START
read the guides/tutorials again
First and foremost I think you need to read ALL the tutorials on here a little more thoroughly, the way you're describing things indicates that you are unfamiliar with the correct process of flashing different roms. "S/W upgrading screen"?? "creating .zip of each of them"?? The issues you're experiencing are almost 100% user error and nothing hardware related.
Having said that, before you start blindly flashing, do a nandroid backup of your stock Wind rom immediately, then and only then proceed to flashing custom roms/kernels. Also, I would double check the nvflash instructions and repeat that process in its entirety, there's really no need to use rom manager at all or have the latest recovery release (from my experience with 5+ Android phones rom manager serves little purpose unless you're on cm nightlies, cwm and some patience is all you need).
Hopefully that didn't sound harsh, I'm honestly trying to help you, but seriously re-read everything then proceed with flashing, and if you're still having issues hopefully you can include more detailed information next time.

Hi, I have a similar problem.. I rooted my phone yesterday and then installed rom manager. When flashing, I chose LG Optimus 2X (which turns out to be P990) instead of the T-Mobile one (which is P999). My phone is the P999 one with Wind as well.
After a few seconds, the phone restarted and got stuck in the loading screen.
After doing a few searches, I nvflashed a stock image, but under phone info, the Model changed from P999 to P990. Problem is, the baseband says unknown and cannot get any signal. I tried KDZ updates as well as trying to restore stock ROMs using CWM Recovery with no success.
The KDZ method doesn't work as it gives an error saying there is a problem with the phone connectivity. Stock restores get stuck in a bootloop.
Does anyone know what I should do?
I have also tried the following :
Booted into CWM Recovery>mount SD card>USB Mount > extracted LG-P999-V10f>backup and restore(in CWM)> restore> YES
It went through and at the end said Restore Complete! but when i reboot I still see the S/W upgrade screen. I tried Factory restore too after restoring the above mentioned RoM
PS:My phone is not rooted and it is Wind mobile Canada LG-P999dw. Incase i need to root it then how am i suppose to do that since i am not able to bypass the Stupid S/W upgrade screen

You've somehow flashed an Optimus 2X baseband and ROM, so your baseband is messed. There was a couple of users that have done that here already. Try searching for the threads. They got their problem solved.

I don't understand why you are zipping ROM's. They are already zipped and ready to be placed on the root of your card for flashing.

This is totally a misunderstanding for everyone. T-mobile got a specific branded version called the G2X (in the usa) but the rest of the world got Optimus 2x. I hate when G2X owners frown upon Optimus users that have questions in the G2X thread & vise versa (though there were none in this thread ). The threads need to be better named to P999 & P990 & these misflashes would not have occured. Not just on this site but the whole damn internet. Let me sum it up for the world lol ... There were 3 versions of the Optimus 2x released... The p990, The P999 & The Tmobile specfic branded G2X which is also a p999. I have a p999 Optimus 2x as stated in my Signature. People need to check their version & goto the appropriate forum, But it doesnt help when you are in the correct forum as a newbie & 10 ppl who actually have no idea what version your Optimus 2x is end up telling to to goto "THE OTHER FORUM" because they're in their own closed little world lol. C'mon guys... u know I love you all!
ANYHOW
I've heard of people using Smartflash (a tool made for the p990 ONLY) to partially unbrick p999's to a working state. Here's a small conversation I found on another site:
"Mrjava65, on Apr 29 2011, 18:48, said:
Is there any update on this?
I was one of (hopefully) many who confused the P990 as the same thing as the Optimus 2 @ or the G2X.
So now Im stuck ...If there was a smartflash for the P999 i could undo all this mess !
Any update would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks
LOOK!
Sorry for not updating this topic previously. I had thought I did so however that was on xda. I was able to reinstall the factory rom from a link provided by a user on the xda forum and is also linked on this forum. Go here to download the rom http://www.fileserve.com/file/cwSGYn2/BIN_LGP999AT-01-V10f-310-260-MAR-27-2011+0.zip. You'll need the smartflash tool for the LP9990 to flash the bin files. I was only able to successfully flash the AP.bin, I believe Paul is working on getting a working baseband. The phone will be restored to factory settings after flashing the AP.bin with full functionality. I noticed the baseband is weak and searching for networks does give errors occasionally so we'll be patiently awaiting an update to solve this issue. Albeit your phone will be functional enough to satisfy you till then. If you need any help with the steps just reply in this thread"
*****UPDATE***** : Try reading this link: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1226795 seems like this 1 would be your best bet rather than the above!
Now I don't know if this will work but it appears to be the only option u have. AGAIN Smartflash is a tool for the p990 ONLY & I suggest u only use that method if the second method (second link above) does not work. The KDZ method was crashing for me too when I was trying to update to T-mobile GB OTA update stock but I found that skipping the part that says "Read Phone Information" helped me get past any freezing/app crashing. If you are have connectivity issues w KDZ then make sure you downloaded the correct driver from the LG website for the correct version of windows.
Please update us & let us all know if it remains a brick or if you worked out your problem.

Hey ppl! I've been having issues with my baseband after I flashed to stock from Eaglesblood 2.5. This has been going on for 3 days and I haven't found a solution that works. I'm trying to think outside the box here to see if I can resurrect my phone. Are there any roms that I could flash that have the baseband? Since I can't flash over to the stock Gingerbread anymore cause of issues I'm having with the software and/or drivers, maybe I was thinking I could use some other rom that perhaps has the baseband I need.
According to GetRIL the baseband I need is this:
M6600A-SCAUNTZ-2.0.9720T [Jul 15 2011 10:00:00] MP:TRULGE_08.09.02R_MDM
If there are any roms out there that have this baseband, please let me know and post a link so I can download. Thanks in advance. Any help you guys can give me to ease my suffering a bit is greatly appreciated.

Easy answer is, no there isn't a rom or anyway to flash the baseband... you will need to update through the lg updater.
Sent from my LG-P999 using xda premium
The lg updater doesnt work at all. It stalls at 4% and does nothing. I've used the kdz flash but the pc won't recognize my phone anymore when I'm in S/W Update Mode. I've tried using smartflashtool and that doesn't work either cause the phone needs to be in S/W Update Mode. So that being said, what other option do I have?
Send it in to LG, it's sad to see another user going thru what i had to as both lg updater and kdz are such shyt programs even with the correct drivers they buggy as hell. I love my G2x but hate the crap software LG and nvidia put out to try and fix these softbricks/unknown baseband problems. I wish Paul o Brian would have followed thru with his comment about creating a smartflash tool for our P-999's similar to the one he created for the P-990.
Yeah, I was reading about that. Even if he did I don't think it would work.
I used this debug tool here made by slycog:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1248644&page=9
Paul gave up cause it would take him forever to get the smartflash for the baseband to work. First off, he would have to go and rewrite all the drivers so that they work properly. The guy in the thread above like me, had the drivers installed as you can see from one of the screen shots he posted. I tried 3 different sets of drivers all on my desktop and laptop. None of them work when I put my phone into S/W Update mode and connect the usb cable to the phone. As slycog discovered which I'm pretty sure he did but never said it that the driver for the modem just is buggy. Paul's first stop would be to rewrite this driver and get it to work properly. Then Paul would have to create the smartflash and actually get the smartflash to flash the CP bin file. The current smartflash for the P990 has issues flashing the CP bin file. It's alot of freaking work for a phone thats soon to be obsolete in a year or so. Makes no sense for someone like Paul to invest so much time into a project like this that the manufacturer (LG) should have done and foreseen. I'll tell you this much, this WILL be the last time I touch anything from LG period. I'll use my replacement for a month and then I'm off to Samsung. Hopefully by then the Galaxy Nexus will be on T-Mobile. If not, I'll get a GS2. In the meantime, I'll keep searching for solutions. I'm sure there is one out there or someone that can actually find a way to bypass the modem interface and use a different method of flashing per say thru APX that still seems to work for me. I wish nvflash was able to flash the baseband and I wish there were other roms that would have the baseband as I was informed none of the roms do.
Hi guys, badly need some help.
I was trying to upgrade my SOL (various different ROMs, currently using stock GB) was updated to the stock Italian ICS using the kdz updater.
SInce I had just used the kdz on the same setup a few days back to flash the stock GB, I suppose there are no issues with the USB drivers on the PC.
Now, after the kdz process using the ICS ROM, the utility said that the update was succesfull. BUT, the phone re-started, but doesnt go beyond the LG logo.
Now when I try to reflash using the kdz, it reports that there was no phone found.
So is the SOL completely, and irreparably bricked? I hope not, am hoping some of the magicians on this forum casn get me out of this!
Best Regards,
Optimus 3D P920.
The only way I can flash it is through smartflash(using AP and CP files).
After upgrading to 4.0.3 from 2.3.5 using smartflash, I lost the IMEI.
Downgraded back to 2.3.5 and IMEI is still missing.
Official LG Tool recognizes the phone, at first it says that an update is available, then it says you have the latest firmware.(It says the same thing on 2.3.5 or 4.0.3)
Cannot update through KDZ, program freezes and not responding after unpacking(enabler on, msxml installed, etc. not noob).
I have tried to rewrite IMEI using tutty, but I cannot write anything in the DOS window after clicking open.
I even tried putty on Linux, the same...
I have read countless threads/posts on xda on unbricking/restoring IMEI, flashing, etc. for two days now.
So, the main question - how can I write the IMEI? Why am I not able to do it with tutty? Is there any other way?
THANKS!
EDIT: Finally, I solved the problem! Mainly due to this post: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=35592220&postcount=2
I will be back with further explanations, also if you need help, post!
Thank you xda!
Trying to fix a friend's LG G4 that is bootlooping. I can successfully get into download mode so I'm hopeful. I went here http://forum.xda-developers.com/att-g4/general/att-h810-to-stock-guide-tot-method-t3248532 and got everything set up, I plug in the phone and open the tool and try to flash using the dll and tot file 10o provided in the thread. It loads on the computer, I know it's communicating because it shows the IMEI number in LG flash tool, gets to 6% and fails.
10o is a little old, I'm pretty sure the phone was on a newer software version, which is likely why it is failing. Anyone have 22b (or the latest if there is a newer one) tot file available to flash? Or if it's not available, any ideas on what i can do at this point?
Thanks!
