I hope my post will help somewhat those buddies who had the same problem or who will probably have this problem in future.
I had the problem that my gtablet couldn't power on after I did Nvflash. I'd been frustrated in the past week for searching the internet to find the way out.
The similar problem that tcrews had. (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=903684)
Also some posts I browsed:

I am grateful to tcrews and a lot of other buddies for their inputs which saved me lots of time, though i didn't find a right solution from their posts. Acidburn89's solution in tcrews's post (page 9) didn't work out for me either.I don't know whether tcrews solved his problem in acidburn89's method.
I tried all the methods I could find and nothing worked out for me. The only way I can turn the tablet on is to follow tcrews's post on rebooting the tablet by using nvflash (nvflash --bl bootloader.bin --download 9 recovery.img --go)
Some background of bricking my gtablet:
1.my gtab had CWM0.8.and was running rom "zpad clean 3.0" (before that it was TNTL, not any problem)
2.one week ago, I was trying to flash a rom from a chinese website, which was modified from the official malata zpad rom. This was the problem started from. After flashing (nvflash method),the tab was rebooting and stuck at "Tegra II" logo and couldn't never start with the new rom. At this moment, i could still power on and off the tab.
3.next I flashed my tab by following this link (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=861950) After flashing it, the tab couldn't not reboot, and could not power on. Every time I pressed the power button, it just went to the APX mode authomatically
(with black screen).Only using the above-mentioned method (from tcrews) I could start the tab.
The solution I finally tried out: (Take out your sdcard from the tab if you have one in it)
1.Have these two files ready: recovery-stock.img (download the attached recovery-stock.zip and change zip to img), and original gtablet update.zip. I copied this original update.zip file from my gtab and saved in my pc, i think you can also find links in this forum for the original gtablet roms,like this http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=9837354&postcount=3 (not sure whether these are same as I extracted from my gtab originally, if not working, I can upload my rom for downloading)
2.Copy recovery-stock.img into the nvflash folder.
3.Start the tab by nvflash (tcrews' method)
4.Mount/Activate USB conncetion, and copy the original update.zip into the tablet internal sdcard.
5.(Not sure this step is a must or not). Download cwmod-internal.zip in the line http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=865245, extract it and copy the folder "recovery" including the command file to the sdcard.
6.Power off the tab.
7.Power on to make sure you enter APX mode (you will see the black screen, but hear a bing sound)
8.Type in the Dos Command: nvflash --bl bootloader.bin --download 9 recovery-stock.img --go
9.Press and hold the Volume + on the Gtablet and press enter on the PC to execute the above line. You will see it starts to installing the original rom..(about 3 minutes)..and then power off autmotically after finishing flashing ! Dont worry.
10.Repeat step 7 and 8, and press enter (do NOT hold volume +!)
11.The tab will start to the TnT like the original one you had, and Magic now: you can turn off and turn on the tab NORMALLY!!
I tried this method with and without CWM. Both worked. So don't worry whether you tab has CWM or original recovery. My advice: flash your favorite rom using sdcard method instead of nvflash. If you want to nvflash it, save all the files we have used for possilbe repeation of our above job to get your tab back to life!!
I've received a lot of information and help from xda-development before, and hope my first post could contribute to our community a little bit.
Just noticed that idocinthebox has the same idea of correcting recovery.img in this post:

Wow. I followed every instruction to a 'T' and was bricked for the past 6 hours with the APX boot loop.
Finally I stumbled across your thread and was 'reborn' into my G Tablet.
Thank you so much for taking the time to post this. It saved me from wasting even more sleep. (smile)
Well done! If this helps anybody mash the thanks button ;-) ^^^^^^^^^^^
Exact same issue
Can you provide your stock update.zip file? I have not been able to find a file that works for me. So far I have repeated this process many times with many update.zip fules but its still wont start on its own.
I can fin a update.zip.... can you posted here?
Thanks.
I follow this thread but still my gtab is power on APX (only). I was using the stock 3588 and went to the new 4349... start to having issues decided to go back to 3588 using the nvflash. it worked at the first time (until I had the tablet on) As you turned of and turned on, just a black screen (apx) and the only way to get it back is running the nvflash again but if I turned off have to do it again.
Please help!!!!
I can't figure it out on my own.

I ran across this post http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1010659 which says that the BCT part of the nvflash isn't the same for all the GTablets and that's my experience.
I couldn't get nvflash_gtablet_2010110500.zip (from the dropbox repository of nvflash files) to work, but nvflash_gtablet_46_2010112600.zip worked fine.
The problem was that I couldn't get CM7 installed on my GTablet, but then I hacked the gtablet.cfg file to swap partitions 7 and 8 by merely cutting and pasting the partition 8 (name=OGO stuff) and putting it before the partition 7 (name=BLO stuff) to match the order of the gtablet.cfg in nvflash_gtablet_2010110500.zip.
Now CM7 has installed and seems to be working fine for me.
BTW- I didn't nvflash the CWM recovery since I was trying to minimize the number of things I was messing with. I assume it'll work, but I already had CWM installed on the internal emmc (SDCARD2) so really didn't even need to nvflash it.
Nope, I have tried both files and neither worked for me

guobug you are a hero
same thing happened to me
and because of you it works!!!
( followed the steps and used your updat.zip)
BUT I have another problem
when I tried to install CW
it says "Can't open sdcard/recovery.log"
now I dont know what to do
because I want to install another rom
I think there is something corrupted in the device after apx boot loop
You are a life saver. Worked like a charm. Have been reading through 50 million threads the last 3 days, and happened to find this one. Absolutely amazing. Thanks.
In step 8 I don't know where to type the code in, which Dos command, the dos command window which nvflash step opened( and I didn't press enter to close that window), or I have to open a new one( or make a new .bat file with the code).
I do it and cann't see it install the original rom( "You will see it starts to installing the original rom..(about 3 minutes)..and then power off autmotically after finishing flashingtes" as you wrote in step 9)
So I still cann't fix my problem.
Please help me!

Do I manually open the Dos Command, or should this open on it's own... I'm opening Command Prompt, and pasting what you're saying to use. I'm getting
"nvflash is not recognized as an internal or external command, operable program or batch file."
Obviously I'm doing something wrong.

That error means the command 'nvflash' is not in the path for the windows command line.
Where do you type the DOS command at? Thanks.

Following is the NVFlash procedure for installing ClockWorkMod (CWM) for those
people who are having boot loop problems (or other problems) and need
to install CWM by flashing rather than by using /sdcard or a microSD card
via /SDCARD2. No apologies -- this is written so even the new folks can use it.!
1. You need to get a copy of ClockWorkMod v.8, which can best be done
by downloading through the following thread. Also, you might check the
thread for related info -- it's a good one:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1010943
2. Once you have the CWM files, go to your NVFlash directory (or whatever
you call it) and make sure you have the right files in it.
-- Nvflash.exe and related files (nvflash_gtablet_2010110500.zip) from
the original NVFlash Recovery thread.
-- USB drivers (also from NVFlash Recovery thread. If you already are
flashing via APX you should have them installed.)
-- The file "nvflash_gtablet.bat" from the NVFlash Recovery thread.
-- The CWM .img file (next item will tell you how to get it.)
3. Next you will need to extract the CWM .img file from the .zip file you
downloaded. First, extract the files from the download -- you should get
a recovery folder and an update.zip. Now unzip the update.zip file and
you will get a file named recovery.img.
4. Rename the file "recovery.img" to "part9.img".
5. Now edit the file "nvflash_gtablet.bat to make the command line read:
"nvflash.exe" --bl bootloader.bin --download 9 part9.img
The command line above for the .bat file does require the quotes around
nvflash.exe!!!
Or you can simply leave the other .bat file alone and create a new
nvflash_cwm.bat file and put the cwm command line in it if you want to.
6. Boot your tablet into APX mode using power/volume - (you will have a black
screen). Connect the USB cable from your G-Tablet to your PC. If you check
the little USB/green check icon on the PC toolbar (bottom right corner of screen)
you see an APX connection listed.
7. Go to the NVFlash subdirectory on your PC and run the .bat file to load CWM.
8. When the flash is done, use the USB/Green Check icon to disconnect from
the PC and then disconnect from the G-Tablet.
9. Shut down and the boot the G-Tablet into Recovery Mode by pressing
Power/Volume + and hopefully you will see the word "Android" and then the
green CWM menu will appear."
Now you're ready to do whatever you need to do with CWM.
Hope this helps.

This suggest that NVflash tool is more versatile. Not only can you flash the stock ROM but also the recovery and perhaps other ROM's as well.
Thank you for the post. It worked wonderfully. It saved me from having to buy a sdMicro card that I would not need otherwise.
holzy99,
NVFlashing is most useful -- but it also is useful to have a microSD card handy.
In the Q&A forum you will find a similar post I did on how to install CWM using a
microSD card in a pinch. When you need it, you need it!!!

Help needed in NV Flash
Sticky thanks for putting such a detailed guide and appreciate that very much. I followed your guide and i am stuck at the NV Flash started. I believe that I had a confusion while editing the nvflash.bat. I edited the NV Flash.bat as following:
"nvflash.exe" --bct gtablet.bct --setbct --bl bootloader.bin --download 9 part9.img --create --go
@set /p batuserinput=Press enter to continue:
Please let me know if I an making a mistake here.
punjabigator,
You were very, very close. The command line needs to be \
exactly what was in the Procedure:
"nvflash.exe" --bl bootloader.bin --download 9 part9.img
Change it to that and try again.

I am going to receive my gtablet this weekend and the first thing I was planning to do was install cyanogenmod. According to the guide on the cyanogenmod website (http://wiki.cyanogenmod.com/index.php?title=Viewsonic_G_Tablet:_Full_Update_Guide), they do not mention anything about nvflash. Is that really required. This is the first time I am modding. Thanks
still stuck in boot loop
Tried this .bat change, it did complete successfully but there were no changes.
Now I can turn it on and have SV birds/gtablet screen changing and shutting off at the end. I can use Nvflash but like I said, regular .bat or this modified didnt work.

Problems with NVFlash
Ok so I have CWM and BL 1.1 on my GTab. I would like to move to BL 1.2 so that I can install a 1.2 Honeycomb.
I also only have access to linux.
So I got the Linux NVFlash tool. I try to get into APX mode and that just boots me into the CWM recovery. NVFlash does not find my GTab.
lsusb shows:
Bus 004 Device 031: ID 0955:7100 NVidia Corp.
Then when I try ./nvflash_gtablet.sh I get:
Nvflash started
UnKnown device found
Done!
Nothing happens.
What am I missing? Has anybody found a good Linux how to?
Thanks

Figured it out.
It is power and volume -

New gtab 2.1
Followed cyangen install instructions in the update guide and there was no mention of differences between 1.x and 2.x platforms. SO of course I put a 1.x CMW on my 2.1 platform. Cant boot into recovery. Can boot into the god aweful stock rom.
Followed the NVflash instructions. Installed drivers.
One interesting note is that after finding the apx device, pointing to the drivers, and completing the install (windows of course), there is no apx anything in my drivers lists.
Im in desperate need of getting CMW on this thing.

Go here http://viewsonic-gtablet-for-dummies.webs.com/nvflash.htm . Do the 1.2 branch (4349) Stock Rom 1.2 brach with CWM preinstalled. Follow the instructions. One you get back to stock 1.2 branch, go the Start Here page http://viewsonic-gtablet-for-dummies.webs.com/ and do code green.

Can you expound alot!!! What rom are you on, what were you doing, what do you mean by can't boot from any media, etc. Be as detailed as you can so we can assist you.
I think I might be missing something and I apologize if you feel like you are repeating yourselves but when you edit the .bat file what exactly do you put in the file? If someone could just paste into here what it looks like that would be really helpful.

This has been tested and confirmed to be working. Follow instructions to the key and you should be good to go!
If you are having ANY issues, watch the video below before posting! It seems to solve a lot of the errors
*WARNING* *WARNING* *WARNING*
NVFlash is a powerful utility that works at a very low level on your phone. There are few safety mechanisms built into a tool like this because it is intended for use by people with suitable training. This CAN brick your device. It is unlikely to create an irrecoverable situation, but it does have the power to create a situation that you can not recover from yourself, thus requiring factory maintenance. Warranty coverage for your phone is not guaranteed after using NVFlash. Please proceed with the use of the tool carefully and at your own risk.

Useful hint: Copy and paste the commands into the command prompt to reduce error
><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><
The files you need:
NVFlash.zip (Windows NVFlash app + CWM Recovery 5.0.2.0 Image)
APX Driver.zip (APX Driver)
><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><
Optional files:

Now let's extract the files:
We will be extracting to these two folders:
Code:
C:\G2x\APX Driver
C:\G2x\NVFlash
Extract APX Driver.zip to C:\G2x\APX Driver
Extract NVFlash.zip to C:\G2x\NVFlash
><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><
Here's how to do it:
Remove the battery
Hold Vol Up/Down (and keep them held)
Insert the USB cable
Install APX driver from the your APX folder
For windows 7(and vista? please confirm):
Open Device Manager in Windows and you should see "APX Device" listed with an error
Right click on the APX device
Select 'Update driver software'
Select 'Browse my computer...'
Select 'Let me pick...'
Select 'Have disk'
Browse to directory you extracted the *driver* software to: C:\G2x\APX Driver
Select the *entire* 'APX Driver' folder; Do not go inside of it!
Accept any warnings, including the big red alert (you may need to disable UAC)
Now in Device Manager under 'USB Controllers' you should have an 'NVIDIA USB Boot-recovery driver for mobile devices'
If not, uninstall the driver, reboot, rinse and repeat
Unplug everything
Hold Vol Up/Down (and keep them held)
Insert USB cable
open command prompt
navigate to your NVFlash folder:
Code:
cd \
cd g2x\nvflash
nvflash.exe --bct E1108_Hynix_512MB_H8TBR00U0MLR-0DM_300MHz_final_emmc_x8.bct --bl fastboot.bin --download 5 recovery-clockwork-5.0.2.0-p999.img
You should see it send a bunch of files to the device and the phone screen should say "S/W Upgrade - Please wait while upgrading...". You can let go of the volume buttons at this point. Once the files are sent and the program is finished running in the command window, you CAN just pull the USB cord or be safe and just wait a few extra minutes, however it will still say "upgrading."
><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><
To get into Recovery:
Plug the battery back in (or power off the device if it was on)
Hold Vol Down + Power until you see the LG splash screen with blue highlights (that means keep holding for ~10 seconds after you see the LG boot screen).

NVFlash for dummies - Guide to set up and flash a recovery
***Poor quality and outdated but it gets the job done***
><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><
Frequently asked questions:
Where do I place the .img files?
You place the .img files in the NVFlash folder you created PRIOR to flashing.
I'm getting an error.
You MUST keep both volume buttons held down the whole time until you get the success message in command prompt!
Try using a different USB port on the computer
This is great to have an official guide thread. For the sake of completeness, here is the link to stock recovery as well so there aren't dozens of posts asking how to return to stock recovery.

Flash it with nvflash just like you did CWM:
nvflash --bct 1108_Hynix_512MB_H8TBR00U0MLR0DM_300MHz_final_emmc _x8.bct --bl fastboot.bin --download 5 part5.img
Great stuff. The Mod should definitely add this to the sticky thread.

I did this in Fusion with no issues. Keep that PC where it belongs
At least for me, the battery had to be reinserted to flash the recovery...not to install the drivers, however. YMMV.

awesome idea, just flashed it through fusion with no issues!
i used to avoid it because i tried to flash something to my HD2 via fusion and had some odd errors. makes it much more convenient since everything worked first try this time.

mine flashed w/o the battery just to put that information out there as well.
not sure if different OS' may cause the issue or not.
can anyone please make a video on how to use nvflash?
and the apx cant be installed since they are just files and not a exe. so how would it work
I can't even get my computer to install the APX drivers... when I pull the battery and hold both volume buttons and insert the usb it just comes up as unknown device not apx device and when I try and update the driver I says no files related to your device when I select the nvidia drivers. Hating my pc right now, this is why I love my old mac lol.

This is what worked for my phone....i'm not responsible from what happens to your phone your responsible for your own action...DO THIS AT YOUR OWN RISK! THIS METHOD doesn't require XP
OK so your phone is bricked because of the update by lg and your are stuck at the s/w screen...and The other method of flashing the KDZ file and program keeps freezing and not working even on XP ...if you haven't tried that method first you should its much easier and faster if you have and it's FAILED then hopefully this will help.
EASIEST FIX!!! This is for KDZ just encase you havn't tired this first my method is below....
Credit to bullseye69....THIS WORKs FOR WIN 7 ....so i guess you could try vista...but i'm not sure.

READ FIRST!!!!
FOR BULLSeye69 his phone was working SO he used DIAG MODE BUTTT
IF your at s/w screen OR HAVE NO BASEBAND and NO BATTERY and NO IMEI...DO everything the same EXCEPT!!!! change DIAG to CS_emergency AND IT WILL WORK...give it a couple tries ....if it doesn't work first 2 - 3 times it's ok go to task manager and Right CLICK on the LGUPDATE tool in the process list and change set priority to HIGH and it should go through. HOPEFULLY THIS FIXS IT GOOD LUCK G2x owners
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
IF the Above method Does not work after like a million tries LOL there one more at the bottom ...Scroll down
~

OTHER METHOD : ONLY use this IF KDZ methods did not WORK (again at ur own risk)
hopefully this method will help you....(tried to be noob friendly as possible) READ THE WHOLE AT Thing LEAST ONCE
(PS download all those files they tell you to download because you will need them and i take no credit for those programs and files just this method on how i used them)
OK my phone condition was (2.2) s/w update screen....and was able to boot into cwm(clockwork recovery but not stock) using the ONE CLICK RECOVERY (internal sd flash)
So on stock 2.2 stuck on s/w update screen
my first mission is to just get past the s/w screen since i tried flashing a nandroid backup which i downloaded and it didn't work. (ps download the nandroid file "LG-P999-V10f.rar" credit to the dude who uploaded it )
Extract it using winrar or whatever program.
Now once you have the nandroid file you should see one md5 file and 6 .img files like recovery, system, etc....
so we gotta flash each one at a time....pain in the *** but if it works you'll thank me
OK so i was thinking like this kdz flash thing didn't work for me so i want to do everything manually ...alot of work but i have a 500$ paper weight...tough to figure the language but give it a little time.
LIST OF WHAT YOU NEED
One click recovery
Drivers installed
Nandroid file
so (assuming you have all the programs downloaded and installed) take all the img files (not the md5 one) and paste them into the nvflash folder of
the one click recovery folder.
Now open command prompt (type in search cmd)
we will used Command prompt next take battery out and press and hold up AND down volume buttons together and plug in your phone
(Apx driver should be recongized if drivers are installed)
Command i found to use (again credit to who made the command)
normally command promt (cmd) it starts with "c:\user\user"
so change this to where you saved the oneclick file...(easier to save the one click and other file right on c drive not into other folders)
For example my file is save in C:\oneclick\nvflash
SO this means i saved the file in c drive, and i need acess to "nvflash" folder inside "one click" since the nvflash program is in that
folder...
So change the location to where you want to access type in
cd C:\oneclick\nvflash (this is my file location obviously)
command language
nvflash --bct 1108_Hynix_512MB_H8TBR00U0MLR0DM_300MHz_final_emmc_x8.bct --bl fastboot.bin --download 8 .android_secure.img
NOW UNDERSTAND THE LINE SO YOU CAN FIGURED IT OUT EASIER...i'll try to be noob friendly as possible
"nvflash --bct 1108_Hynix_512MB_H8TBR00U0MLR0DM_300MHz_final_emmc_x8.bct --bl fastboot.bin --"
this line for you noobs out there (not trying to insult lol) is just copy paste ok BUT
the second part ""download 8 .android_secure.img""" download is standard so that's also copy that
but SEE the 8 that number is the partion number ...bascially divsions on a harddrive so the 6 img (image)
file goes in their own number...so i'll post where .img file went in which partition but you may have to play
with the number to find ur phone's particular number...i'll explain futher
SO partiton number 8 is where my android_secure.img flashed and went throught without an error
so now i'll post the command for each img file that worked for me hopefully works for your G2x
(REMEMBER!!! after each command goes through the phone will turn on to the S/w screen , Once it says SUCCESSFUL (on CMD) unplug and plug back in hold the 2 volume keys)
for the android secure img file:
nvflash --bct 1108_Hynix_512MB_H8TBR00U0MLR0DM_300MHz_final_emmc_x8.bct --bl fastboot.bin --download 8 .android_secure.img
for the cache img file:
nvflash --bct 1108_Hynix_512MB_H8TBR00U0MLR0DM_300MHz_final_emmc_x8.bct --bl fastboot.bin --download 9 cache.img
for the boot img file:
nvflash --bct 1108_Hynix_512MB_H8TBR00U0MLR0DM_300MHz_final_emmc_x8.bct --bl fastboot.bin --download 11 boot.img
for the system img file:
nvflash --bct 1108_Hynix_512MB_H8TBR00U0MLR0DM_300MHz_final_emmc_x8.bct --bl fastboot.bin --download 7 system.img
for the data img file:
nvflash --bct 1108_Hynix_512MB_H8TBR00U0MLR0DM_300MHz_final_emmc_x8.bct --bl fastboot.bin --download 15 data.img
~**NOTE IT IS BROUGHT TO MY ATTENTION THAT its possible that by COPYING PASTING ADDITIONAL SPACES MAY have been enter into the line so double check there are no extra spacing because then the command line becomes useless and doesn't work~****
NOW if they show an error like NV 120000 000 or something like partition error... then the NUmbers of your partition of where
these files go are different on your phone So it's not the END OF THE WORLD just play around with the numbers they are usually
very close so if number 15 doesn't work for the data.img then try 13, 14 or 16 they should be just one or two numbers away from
mine. (sometimes if says nvflash started and nothing happens you just have to unplug and plug again holding the 2 buttons)
Trial and error is how i obtained these numbers.
once all these files are sucessful goes through do a test but putting in your battery and going into recovery or just try booting (you not suppose to be plugged in for this)
it normally if it shows LG logo and goes to another LG logo with a LOading bar at the bottom wait for it may reboot,
IF it doesn't reboot it's OK because (after the normal boot) the S/w screen doesn't show up you have SUCCESS because the nandroid file SHOULD
work.
(IF your S/w screen has not gone away YOU Might HAVE TO wipe everything using CWM(Recovery holding power and down) and i mean everything format everything for every option that
(you get in CWM (recovery) go through what i did ....but THAT's only if you cannot get rid of the s/w screen )
(and then try again from the begining REMEMBER WIPING = LOSS in BASEBAND aka calling connectivity so through CWM make a backup of your file and save to your computer you may need later)
OK so we don't need cmd (command pompt) anymore you got your s/w screen to go away.
Now use NVflash and click the "one click recovery" button
(plug in the phone again (no battery) holding 2 volume buttons) and flash CWM to INTERNAL SD (not external)
IT's the first Button on the left (you should see 3 buttons to click on )
once it goes successful you can close the window and unplug.
pop in battery reboot holding POWER AND DOWN VOLUME KEY ...KEEP HOLDING till you see ANDROID RECOVERY (has like pictures of apps falling or something)
then the menu should pop open go to the mounts and storage and then all the way at the bottom (use volume keys to go up and down) mount usb storage option
and (make sure usb plugged in now) hit power button to open STAYY!! in that menu to acess the Storage on the phone...don't exit or hit unmount
nothing will happen if you do by accient exit...just it's easier to explain this way lol
now you should see on the PC (in my computer or automatically open the drive storage for your phone) in there you should see your folders and one of them is clockworkmod
in that there should a folder called "backup" if not make one, all small letters "backup" in there copy the whole LG-p999-v10f file you extracted into the backup folder.
now on the phone (once it transfered the file) hit unmount or hit go back using power button and go back to the first menu
above the mounts and storage option there should be the "backup and restore" option ...open that and hit the restore option and
you should see the LG-p999-v10 file there and hit power on that and go down to yes option and hit open and let it run should take roughly 5 mins.
let it go till it comes to the menu again... now hit reboot system...phone should turn off...if it doesn't turn on within 2-3 mins you can turn it on
your self and android should up and running YAY!!!!
(This is for only people who did a full format when they couldn't get rid of the S/W screen)
Now i have had some battery/signal issues....Thats because i did the full wipe of everything some people may or may not have this same problem hopefully someone can post a radio file zip or something ....cyogenmod is another option but i haven't tested it yet
will post result of the battery issue later
EDIT:I have put cyanogen mod (credit to cyanogen mod guy lol) on and seemed to fix the battery reading issue.
EDIT:
IF NO BASEBAND AND NO BATTERY TRY METHOD 1 again at top of the page
KDZ in CS_emergency mode ...and if on windows 7 setup the KDz as in the link above (bulleye69) then proceed to flashing it in CS_emergency mode
HOPEFULLY THIS HELPS ALL THE REST G2x semi-bricked owners....DON"T FORGET TO HIT THE THANKS BUTTON!!!!!

I tried the command method cause KDZ keep force closing halfway and after that i flashed clockworkmod. When i restarted it still has the stock recovery, i got rid of the s/w but the problem now is that it gets stuck on lg logo with blue line and the menu buttons light up. I tried going into apx mode and s/w but the phone doesn't, it boots to the lg logo and the the blue lines.
Is there's any way to fix this?
Check the rom for recovery thread in Dev section, it will nvflash your phone to 2.3.3 gb rom. It will basically fix any brick and is our saving grace, huge props to iluha for creating it!

ok so you got passed the S/w screen at boot from my understanding and assuming that you manually flashed each file into it's partition...so now you used NVflash to flash and get clockworkmod recovery ? ok what happens when you pressed and held both the power and volume down what do see rather?

Ummm when does it say this exactly? like when manually flashing?
What did I do wrong? I tried the kdz method but it never worked after many, many, tries. My phone was stuck on the S/W Upgrade screen so I have to use the 2nd method.
I pressed the volume up/down buttons and put the usb cable in, waited for the driver to load (NVIDIA USB Boot-recovery driver for Mobile devices), let go of the two buttons, and I ran the first line "nvflash --bct 1108_Hynix_512MB_H8TBR00U0MLR0DM_300MHz_final_emmc_x8.bct --bl fastboot.bin--" (without the quotes) and the cmd window stuck at "Nvflash started" but didn't budge and the S/W Upgrade screen didn't appear so I pulled out the USB cable and in the command window it stated "uid read failed"
Here's the cmd window info:
C:\Users\Toshiba M4001050\Desktop\WIND and T-Mobile LG Optimus 2X (T-Mobile G2X)
LG-P999\One-Click-G2x-recovery-flasher-09-23\NVFlash>nvflash --bct 1108_Hynix_5

Now it doesn't boot at all, no S/W Upgrade appears, nada. *Update I got the S/W Upgrade screen back after reinstalling CWM.

Ummmm usually the if it says that it started and nothing happens you just do it again (unplug it & close program (battery is not in) press up/down volume buttons plug it in ..then thingy pops up as verified let go...and open program and try) now I couldn't help but notice your file name...but just make sure your phone is LG G2x not LG optimus 2x.... right?

Check the rom for recovery thread in Dev section, it will nvflash your phone to 2.3.3 gb rom. It will basically fix any brick and is our saving grace, huge props to iluha for creating it!

NP hopefully the manual single file flashing with the backup restore should get you out of the loop
this did not work still no baseband and no signal plz help plz
Like I mentioned, I can only enter APX with my tablet. I cannot boot into recovery, and I cannot boot into Android. Easy Flash does not work. Any attempt to use EasyFlash hangs on "Sending Bootloader..... Sending file: 100%" I am uncertain how to proceed. I would prefer a non-volatile solution(Keeping at least my internal sdcard intact) but through all the things I've tried I may very well have already wiped everything, So I will accept either. I'll soon be trying to use OLiFE-wheelie but I don't have high hopes
Before the brick I was using KatKiss-KitKat #29 Stable
Any help would be appreciated
Easyflasher should work if you have installed the Universal Naked Drivers from the same thread, and are using Win 7 or lower OS (And your cable works for Data, not just charging)
Win 8 needs driving signing disabled to install those drivers
Without the drivers installed, Easyflasher wont be able to talk to the TF
If you get Easyflasher working, you could install TWRP Recovery, then create a backup of your Data > Wipe everything > install a new ROM > Use something like Titanium Backup to restore your saved data

I already had TWRP Installed but nonetheless I did try EasyFlasher after installing the drivers, but wheelie always gets stuck like so: www\.dropbox.\com/s/4zpe8t595ymi7sv/Screenshot%202014-07-16%2020.09.26.png (Remove backslashes, since I am not allowed to post links)
I've also tried using a Linux machine with wheelie to the same effect, thus it can't be a drivers issue.
As for the cable, I don't think there's anyway I can be certain it is functioning Unfortunately, so it may very well be that. You see, my tablet bricked itself after my previous cable broke, thus I have never been able to test this cable with a working transformer. However, it does recognize the APX device attached so it seems to be working.
I seem to remember once putting some empty file in my external sd with a specific name and that magically waking it up... I don't remember, it was quite a while ago
Oh, yes, I've had this same problem before and all I had to do was run nvflash with ""nvflash.exe" --bct transformer.bct --setbct --configfile flash.cfg --create --bl bootloader.bin --odmdata 0x300d8011 --sbk 0x1682CCD8 0x8A1A43EA 0xA532EEB6 0xECFE1D98 --go" and that magically woke it up without destroying any data even though it was supposed to. It was odd, but I didn't ask questions.
