he said he bricked it trying to upgrade to ICS.
is the sticky at the top still the way to unbrick it? i noticed that a couple links were dead in the first post. granted i didn't go through all 17 pages, just wanted to make sure there wasn't anything newer then whats already been posted.
edit: he did say that the screen is showing s/w if that matters
Was it bricked by flashing a o2x rom? I think that may be the hardest brick I have heard of but still fixable. I believe if that is the case than following the sticky should restore the baseband and everything else.
Honestly though I would first try just reflashing CWM via nvflash, boot into recovery and load a stable GB rom. If that works, great.

he just said things went haywire when trying to flash ICS. i've been messing around with the sticky but can't get anything to work....yet!
im on windows 7 if that matters
and after i boot into recovery the screen is just flashing black. any ideas?
everything i do with flashing it just sits at the prompt saying "flashing" and nothing else happens.

You apparently you did not even read the first post. XP only, will not work with Windows 7.
"As many have stated, pushing the v21E_00.kdz via the KDZ_FW_UPD program does work. It's just touchy.
This is a step by step guide to get you back in to working shape.
Note: You MUST do this via a PC running Windows XP. Running Vista/7 in compatibility mode is not going to work, period.
Edit: As an alternative, a virtual environment running XP will do the job. Those steps are up to you."
That's not true. I updated the baseband using win7 on my first try. No need for comparability mode.

Can confirm that too. Was working fine on 32 bit win7, using the method from the stickies upgrading wind's June baseband.

duple and lurker, thanks for the confirmation that it works with 7
when i try and push the kdz i get the dreaded phone not found.
ok im on my xp machine here at work and heres what i got:
Part 1: Download the files you will need below.
V21E_00.kdz
KDZ_FW_UPD_EN
One-Click-G2x-recovery-flasher-06-16.rar
LG USB Drivers G2x
Part 2:
1) Install the LG G2x USB drivers to your WinXP machine.
2) Extract the entire contents of the One-Click recovery in to a folder and keep it handy.
3) Remove the battery from the phone. Hold both volume buttons and plug in the USB cable. If you are asked for a driver, look in the APX folder where you extracted the One-Click recovery archive.
4) Run OneClickRecoveryFlasher.exe and flash the stock recovery. Wait for the process to finish and close all windows and unplug the phone.
no problems with above steps. after that nothing works. when i put the battery back in and turn on thats when i get the flashing black screen, not back to the s/w screen.
5) Put the battery back into the phone and turn it on. You will be back at the S/W Upgrade screen. This is where you want to be! Now plug the USB cable back in to the phone. If everything is up to snuff you should have no driver problems at this point.
6) Extract KDZ_FW_UPD_EN.7z in to a folder. Inside is a msxml.msi. You need to run and install this first!
7) Run KDZ_FW_UPD.exe.. Leave the type set to CDMA and the phone mode set to DIAG. DO NOT CLICK ON "Read phone information"
8) Click the folder icon and load the V21E_00.kdz
9) Click launch software update (and pray!)
ok just for craps and giggles i tried booting into recovery and actually got the box with arrow and android! but it then reboots back to the lg screen and then flashing black screen
WOOT! finally able to get into CWM recovery!
is all that needs to be done now is install a stable rom?
double WOOT! back up and running. time to test the functionality of if though!
edit: can't find the sim and no service.

wifi seems to be flaky. keeps scanning and dropping work and home network
also it appears that the market wasn't on that version of the rom. is that a quick fix?
Now you have the recovery and baseband sorted, start from scratch and do a full wipe(including system internal/external SD). Then flash a stable ROM Weapon/EB to make sure everything is good. Just my 2 cents

im was lucky to get it up and running, so im still a flashing noob! but what is considered a stable rom for this phone?
i grabbed one from cyanmod earlier today. i think it was from around 3/13?

You were lucky, indeed!
A CM nightly can be stable too, however I would flash either Weapon or Eagles Blood for a couple of days to have a piece of mind that everything is working cool. The most important would be a proper full wipe (cache, dalvik, system under mounts and storage, battery stats and imho internal and external SD too) too get rid of the previous mess caused by the unsuccessful flash, etc.

ok, so a few days ago i was flashing the G2x weapon rom onto my rooted G2x, but while i was in the clockwork mod to flash it it froze on me, i left it like that for an hour or so, but it didnt work, so i took the battery out. now whenever i turn it on, it loads the LG screen, then nothing, the screen stays turned on, but its black, ive tried to boot it into recovery mode but that does not work either. What should i do?
Did you do One-Click NVFlash>? if u used Rom Manager you probably fake flashed and thats why its not working for you. You should use NVflash followt he steps and boot up into recover and restore a back up. GOod Luck
thanks ill try that

Since changing to Nvflash, did you download the rom you want to install and transfer it to the phone from your computer. Using Rom Manager it may not have left a copy on your phone.
If you cant hook up the SD card to the computer, get an external SD card and make sure u've installed clockwordmod with external sd, hook it up to a laptop with an SD card slot, and put it in , then take the mini sd and pop it in your phone, then boot up and that should do it good luck! atleast now your 1 step closer to recovering your phone
Ughh hate,seeing this happen...hope u flashed nV..all the best
Sent from my LG-P999 using xda premium
Hope you didn't brick your phone.
No you did not brick your phone. Rom manager downloads the file to sdcard/clockworkmod/downloads. Look there for the file. Only if you download a rom from your browser does it go to externalsdcard/downloads

Did you install the Nexus S drivers from the CM9 OP? that should get your phone recognized in odin.
Did you try going into CWM, factory reset, format system, wipe cache and dalvik cache and then flashing a new ROM?

Use Apex ROM Heimdall package. It has links to heimdall website. It's pretty good ROM too.
Or use SFX-style one-click Heimdall package for SauromKK4.

hey im using Heimdall but still it shows up as unknown device in zadig...

ive installed drivers from Odin 1 click, still its coming up as unknown device
Install zadig driver and reboot your computer. Make sure your USB cable and computer both funcitonal. I have second computer to test things out.
@Original Poster: I've sent you a Private Message in case you did something weird in installing the zadig driver.
Hope things will go well for you.
ok...so using an external micro sd i flashed icy glitch, and i also flashed the Dark Knight ROM..
same problem...Doesnt recogonise Storage and also no network...im Beginning to think this is a major F*** up....
Hey...could my problem also be the same as "Encryption Unsuccesfull" given here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1447303&page=11
even though i never got the same message, but even I cant see the rest of the memory..only 1.8 is present....
Hmmm... Could be a hardware issue then. As for your network, you have to set your phone on the correct APN. It takes forever for my pc to recognize my internal storage or that its connected, but I think that's an issue with some people on ics. Try reinstalling the samsung drivers.

Hey...I finally managed to get it recognised ...went back to stock 2.2 through Odin 1 click...then to 2.3.5 and then flashed docs ics.. ...everything's back to normal now...
Thanks a lot for your help guys...really...thanks
For those who have been following this thread, the moral is this:
You're only bricked if you literally have a dead phone that doesn't respond at all. Can't turn on, doesn't vibrate, doesn't show signs of charging, doesn't go to DL mode, etc. Even then, if you have the unbrickable mod then you are literally never going to be able to brick your phone, even under circumstances that would normally cause a brick.
Well it bricks, but you run a program that takes advantage of the hardware being wired to be able to load things into the RAM while the phone is off and execute an upgrade from there!
I tried going back to gingerbread using Heimdall 1 click and it gives me a kernel error and failed. Now phone won't boot past the rogers logo. Any suggestions? No samsung screen. No green battery indicator when plugged in. Heimdall does detect the phone, and I've tried all USB ports and cords at my disposal. I use a mac so no access to odin. This is the first brick I haven't been able to get myself out of. Any help you would be appreciated

I can get into download mode.heimdall detects my phone. I tried both qksters and adam outlers 1 click. neither would take. If I upgrade heimdall version (as it tells me its out of date) it wont get through the initial connection to the phone. if I use with out upgrade it continues to fail on kernel download.
This is my second brick (first one was when trying to root it on my mac) First brick was fixed through odin at my work. Unfortunately I don't want to wait till monday to have a functioning phone

Let's step back here does out prompt you for drivers?
....you might have to make a stop at your office..
Try different USB ports, I used heimdall yesterday to go back to gingerbread (so I could get the boot loaders) and I had the same problem as you, I finally got it to work with a different USB port and even then it kept failing...but I just kept trying and eventually it went through
(Pull battery, place battery back in, hold volume up and down, plug USB in-should put you in download mode...even if you can't see anything on your screen you can still enter download mode)

Alright, here it is:
I encountered the same problems yesterday, heimdall doesn't work when flashing back to stock from ics, from what I've found, you must use gtg's ultimate unbrick, the pit repartitions everything and also resets your binary counter (cha-ching! ). Once completed, your phone will reboot and be stuck at "...installing default apk files..." for a few minutes, don't panic, let it run its course. From there on, you can do the usual root/flash cwm deal. .

I am hoping someone can shed the light on this for me today. I believe it was around 12AM last night were I just gave up because the nvflash was not working because for some reason the computer did not let me update the apx driver.

ok so try flashing hfp again and also make sure to flash a gb kernel. I messed this up. I had so many tabs open yesterday I thought you were on ics and I told u to flash an ics kernel to gb. so just flash a gb rom and a separate gb kernel for double safetyness and that should fix your issue.

I just hit you up bro. I have tried to flash the hfp 2.2 ROM and the gapps but it did not work. I was wondering if you think I should delete it then put it back on my sd card then flash it and see what happens. Also I have a nandroid back from May wondering if I should try that too.
EDIT: Also no worries bro. I should have told you I was on GB or confirmed the kernel was GB and not ICS. It is as much as my fault as it is yours.

problem is bro he cant install the driver.. he is stuck on cwm, and windows wont recognize the phone correctly... I had him format his /system and he gets an error. G2x batch is going to be resolution. I have told him to try and put his phone in that s/w mode with the yellow triangle then try to install the apx driver that way... so hes at work now and I dont think he can do that now. It may have to wait till he gets home. But if that dont work only other resolution I can think of is him actually sending me his phone and I can g2x batch it for him since I have the apx driver installed. problem with that is he lives on the east coast and I live in New mexico time in transit is gonna kill it... but gotta try only other way besides blowing cash on a new phone with tmous and they are blah right now...
He should have it installed. I guided him through getting cwm originally on there. Hey bambino, try using the nvflash rom for recovery link I sent you when you originally did the cwm and rom install. Should be in the chat logs in your gmail account.

G2x batch is going to be resolution. I have told him to try and put his phone in that s/w mode with the yellow triangle then try to install the apx driver that way... so hes at work now and I dont think he can do that now. It may have to wait till he gets home. But if that dont work only other resolution I can think of is him actually sending me his phone and I can g2x batch it for him since I have the apx driver installed. problem with that is he lives on the east coast and I live in New mexico time in transit is gonna kill it... but gotta try only other way besides blowing cash on a new phone with tmous and they are blah right now...

Yea idk.. when I had him tell me what his device manger said in regards to his phone being connected it didnt match with mine. So Ive told him to try that tonigh and see whats up. I dont suspect he should have an issue once he does that.
edit:
just got confirmation. What we were doing was on his laptop... what yall did with him was on his desktop.... so his desktop will set him free...

If you have the V21Y baseband installed, try this: http://s3.amazonaws.com/lgforum.com...cking and Popping Audio Issue).pdf?1337877028
That's a hyperlink to a pdf from LG which contains a hyperlink to its V21Y Gingerbread update utility which works with Windows 7. I tested it and it works.
1. When you run it, after the update window appears, open Windows Task Manager with Ctrl-Alt-Delete and locate the program named "Download Window" and right-click on it and click on "Go To Process".
2. Right-click on the "SmartFlashTool.exe" process and click on "Open File Location". That will open the folder "All-in-On" where all of the files for the V21Y Gingerbread update are located.
3. In that folder there's an application named "LGUnitedMobileDriver...". Run that program to install the drivers then, after the drivers are installed, close the "Download Window" which first appeared on your computer's desktop.
4. Run the "SmartFlashTool.exe" program located in the "All-in-On" folder you previously located and opened through using Windows Task Manager.
5. Follow the instructions in the pdf file you accessed when you first started this process ( http://s3.amazonaws.com/lgforum.com...cking and Popping Audio Issue).pdf?1337877028 ).
Good luck.
ok i made all steps but my phone never show the s/w upgrade screen
its like my computer not recognize my phone
i install the drivers
and all steps same like you told me
but idk what i do wrong
any help thx in advanced!!
sorry for my bad english
Ok, first off im not a noob.
Long story short i flashed the newest CM7 nightly last night. I noticed after flashing i couldn't make or receive phone calls. Came to the conclusion it was because i had the old baseband still.
So i found the forum on how to get back to stock and use the LG tool to get the new baseband. Did all that and now im stuck with stock gingerbread.
I found the forum on how to root GB but for some reason i cant even get passed step one. I hold down the volume buttons for over a min and still nothing. Restarted my computer and tried again, still nothing. Could this be because i have CWM and back up files on my SD card? Please help because this stock ROM isnt lame.
PS. Surprisingly my battery life is phenomenal on stock GB, i can go all day and still be around 50-60%, to where as with CM7 i would be at 10-20%

When you go back to stock it replaces cwm... you have to NV flash cwm again

Yea i know, i have all the proper files. The guide is literally idiot proof, step by step, and somehow im still messing it up....but having CWM files and backup files on my SD card has nothing to do with it, correct?

debugging and reinstall the drivers?
Im using this forum >>> http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1056847&highlight=root+2+3+4 ....cant get past step 4....device manager doesnt show the error popping up. The only other thing it could be is the USB plug or the cord. At this point im about to go get a new cord and try that
Do you have the apx driver installed already from before... just open device manager and uninstall the old drivers than reboot and try again
