Hi Friends,
Sorry to bother u all. But my LG optimus 2x(P990) is stuck in LG logo after I flashed CM7.1. I also did install ROM manager and flashed CM7.1 through that. I followed all the steps carefully which were required to root the phone and then installing CM7.1 but after re-boot the mobile got stuck. I am able to goto recovery mod (power button+volume down) and trying to restore from there but i guess the phone is not able to read internal sd card. I would much appreciate if someone can help me fix the problem.

I know a lot of people swear by it, but ROM Manager is horrid. You're far better of manually flashing a zip through CWM, as ROM manager doesn't check to see whether the files it's downloaded are corrupt or not.
So what you will need is a zip file for the ROM you want. Take our your SD card, put it in a reader and dump that zip into the root of your SD card (not in a folder). Put the SD back into the phone.
In CWM somewhere, it will give you the option to select from the internal or external SD. Select the external one, then flash the zip file. That should put you back in the saddle.
Let me know if you need anything else. It sounds like ROM Manager has attempted to flash a corrupted ROM. If you can, avoid downloading ROMs via your phone - use the stablest connection you have available
Good luck!

Is there anyway to install a rom on to the phone other than from a sd card. My phone won't recognize the sd card when I go to the boot screen ..

Not that I know of. The only ROMs that can be installed without the SD card are stock Motorola sbf. OpenRecovery on XT720 requires a working SD card.
We may be able to help debug your card problem, though. But I'm not sure what problem you're describing. Which boot screen?
The issue I'm having with my phone is when I power it up the the Moto symbol shows and that's it. So I wanted to reinstall another Rom.. When I try to get into the boot mode, I get an error that it can't read my sd card..

I don't understand what you mean by "boot mode"? Are you talking about Open Recovery or bootloader mode or normal boot or something else?
If you're talking about Open Recovery, have you tried taking the card out of the phone and mounting it on a computer to make sure that you have both of the OpenRecovery.zip and OpenRecovery directories?
Sorry, I don't know too much about the terminology when it comes to these things.. I'm trying to get to the bootloader screen .When installing the rom onto the phone what files do I need to have on the sd card ?

The bootloader is used to flash Motorola sbf files from your PC.
OpenRecovery is used to flash custom ROMs (Dexter's, khalpowers, MIUI, etc).
For OpenRecovery to work you have to have an OpenRecovery.zip and an OpenRecovery directory on your SD card (the zip and the directory have different files in them and they're both required). To boot into OpenRecovery hold volume up while powering on. OpenRecovery also has to be installed in the ROM, but since you've already flashed one it should be there.

Yesterday I tried to install a custom rom on my HTC Sensation. The sensation had the Dutch Vodafone ROM, updated to the newest version.
I started by following this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1192300 to the letter and did not encounter any problems.
Then I read a post about the InsertCoin ROM, and started with the recommended download and install of PG58IMG.zip. I did not install the ROM yet. Upon rebooting after installation of PG58IMG.zip the phone now seems to be in a boot loop, it boots untill the "Quitely Brilliant" appears and then reboots again. I removed PG58IMG.zip and reinstalled su-2.3.6.3-efgh-signed.zip (as per suggestion in another thread about a boot looped phone). However the phone refuses to install it.
Is there anything I can do the get my phone out of this bootloop?

Ugh.. really? Any idea what went wrong? I imagine I might have done somthing stupid, but I have no idea what.
You can probably fix it. First thing I would try doing is booting to recovery and restoring from the backup(s) you made.
hello i myself am not really familar with that device its one i never played with or researched but i do know that bootloop does not mean your device is bricked if your device is bricked it would simply be a black screen that did nothing something in your bootloader or spl (secondary program loader).
please boot into clockwork mod pull battery hold vol down when it boots do a complete wipe
wipe data / userdata
wipe cache
wipe davlik
then try to reboot see if you can boot then and if not pull out sd card download a rom from your pc to your sd card for your device try a diffrent rom install sd card into your phone boot back into clockwork mod select zip from sd and install most likely it will repair your boot loop.
(YOUR PHONE IS NOT BRICKED)
any ? go to sensation questions and answers and or development they can further benifit you because they deal with that device full time

I had the same problem. Solved it by installing the a compatible (to the new firmware) rom, like InsertCoin 4.3.2. So, tne procedure is:
1. Install firmware by putting PG58IMG.zip on root of sd card
2. remove PG58IMG.zip from root of sd card
3. install InsertCoin 4.3.2 from sd card
Hi buddy. No, you're not bricked. You just flashed a non-compatible ROM, you're all safe. It happened to me once.
A bricked device means a device that is unable to even power up. If it can boot to recovery, or fastboot, you're not bricked. And if you have a bootloop, you're not bricked either.
Do the following:
Battery pull
Put the battery back again
Press and hold the volume down button
Press and hold the power button for 5 seconds, while keeping the volume down button
When you get into fastboot, let go volume button
Select recovery using the volume keys and confirming with the power button
There you are! You can flash back your backup... Because you have a backup, right?
@ all; Thanks all for the help! Wiping and restoring backups didn't do the trick, but the suggestions were very welcome since they convinced me I didn't brick my phone
Special thanks to Norad73 and Pyrobisqit; I did have a backup, but not of the firmware it seems, since restoring the backup didn't work <red face>.
Bu the suggestion of the ROM not being compatible with the new firmware was right on the mark. I installed the InsertCoin ROM, and yes it worked! I now have a very nice ICS Sensation
Thanks, thanks, thanks!

Hmm, you should try to flahs it back to official firmware, or try to get to enable storage via cmw menu, if that doesnt work, just flash it back

You need to flash the boot.img of the ROM that is why the device will not boot into the OS. You can either use fastboot commands or flash 4 EXT Recovery and use the Smart Flash in it. Download this PG58IMG.zip and place it on the root of your SD card, you can put his SD card in your Sensation and download the file to the SD card. Jusgt make sure you move it to the root of the SD card. Then put the SD card in his Sensation and power the device on holding the volume down button down. When Hboot comes up it will detect the file and ask you if you want to flash it, press the volume up button and let it flash. Then take the SD card out of the device and press the power button to reboot the device. Next put the SD card with the ROM in the device and select recovery. When 4 EXT Recovery boots up select tools and then enable Smart Flash and then go back to the main menu and select install from sdcard thenn select choose zip fromsdcard and then select the ROM. Press yes and let the ROM flash and then reboot the device. It will flash the boot.img when it reboots and then reboot again and you should have a working device again.
I dont have a rom on the phone...that I know of...where can i get the stock one at?...really confused here, also i did the above file Pg58img and it said cid incorrect..update fail...where can i get the 4ext recovery?..ty so much!!!!!
I did some searching and found that the 4ext is an apk...cant use that as I have no useable phone....
I fixed it, had to push the correct firmware to phone, and installed ext4 recovery, and it worked fine...thanks for the help
I tried installing Amonra recovery using Clockworkmod by installing it from a zip file in the sd card. After I finished installing it, I rebooted my phone. When it rebooted, it showed the LG logo and then restarted, and then it showed the LG logo and then it restarted again, and it kept going like that. I can't go into recovery mode, I can't factory reset because it just shows the LG logo and restarts too, it doesn't show fastboot or anything else, but I can go into emergency mode. I am a noob, please help.
Note: The reason I tried installing Amonra recovery is because I wanted to increase my phone's internal memory and RAM. I read it in an article.
reboot to emergency mod , conect to pc then use LGMDP or adb shell flash recovery again.
if not work , user kdz updater
> What a very long meaningful user name you have.
Nevermind, my phone booted up by itself. I removed the battery, sim card, and sd card and kept it like that for at least 2-3 hours. Then it finally boot up without getting stuck on lg logo.
Thank you kotobodj for trying to help. I clicked the thanks button.
