Sorry, I know nothing about LG phones. You might be better looking for a thread for the ROM you flashed or for your phone's thread. You will probably get better response and help.
Good luck.

Try pressing vol down and then power, so you will get to the recovery.
From there, do all wipes and formats and then reboot.
Theoretically, this could solve your problem.

There, fixed.
th LG update tool is absolutely horrible. I was updating my firmware with this tool and wifi disconnected a few times, (on talktalk, horrible provider) it continued with the firmware download nonetheless, it seems that it does not check properly that the downloaded firmware file is corrupt or not and continues flashing regardless.
Suffice to say, the wifi disconnect happened at around 10% of the download and when the firmware was flashed, it generated the error at around the same time resulting in a phone that looked completely dead. black screen, no lights etc.
Thankfully got it working via the powerup and cable insert and reflashed the recovery from the lg tool.
I wonder how many LG optimus phones get sent back to the company for fixing. I have flashed many phones and devices, never had this type of problem before.

Hey ppl. I have a really BIG problem with my G2x and I was wondering if you could help me out. I ran the LG Mobile Support Tool to update my G2x to 2.3.3. After the process, my phone is stuck on "S/W Upgrade Please wait while upgrading..."
I tried using to LG Support Tool and it's saying that I'm running V21e
I can't boot into recovery. All I get is "S/W Upgrade Please wait while upgrading..."
Before doing this I had done a backup through the recovery. How do I get it to bootup?
Any advice and assistance would be greatly appreciated.
I have the same problem! Stuck on "S/W Upgrade Please wait while updating..."
So pulling the battery out, unplugging the USB and pressing vol-down + power doesn't boot to recovery? Did it freeze at 4% or get all the way through and now you're having this problem?
I'd suggest shutting the phone completely off and trying to root it again using NVFlash: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1054492&highlight=nvflash
I think that's the only real option if you can't get into recovery. I'm not guaranteeing it will work, but it's worth a shot.
If you can get it rooted again and get back to CWM, flash 2.3.3 using this: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1179748 instead of LG's awful garbage updater.

It went all the way through.
I did the battery pull and pressed Power + Vol-Down and it didn't boot into recovery.
Same issue.
I've been working on this since about 1:00 PST.
I've tried 32 bit laptop. 64 bit desktop.
When I had initially got it going after about an hour, it basically had gotten to the "download" tab and constantly got stuck a 4%.
I have never had root on the phone, no custom roms or anything. Just a $543 brick.
Called LG was told to "Pull the battery and put it back in". Seriously? You guys had me on hold for 5 minutes and wasted 15 minutes of my time to tell me that?
Then I was told by the same guy if that doesn't work there are no other current workarounds other than sending the phone back to them.
No thanks.
Then I was live chatting with an LG guy named Jorge at the same time. He told me we needed to hard reset. Told him can't do that because the "S/W Upgrading" screen will just flash back after a power plus volume up hold. He said he believes we're having issues because it is so new, they seemed to have been blind sided by this. He said that they think that everyone was trying to update at the same time, possibly suggesting server overload.
Anyway, I've tried multiple computers, multiple USB ports on each. Multiple USB cables, and I even tried using a KDZ file that apparently housed the entire update. But for the life of me, I have no clue how to flash a .kdz file.
Any suggestions are MORE than welcome!
Thanks guys, and good luck.

Yea. I tried it and still nothing.
I'm at the same place. I have CWM installed and can access it. I've flashed different ROMS and tried to restore my old one. It all works, I'm sure, but I can't get past that S/W Update screen to find out!
Sorry guys, wish I could help more but I'm stumped. I'm sure there are people on here smarter than I am who can figure this out. It seems to be a widespread problem so hopefully someone will figure out a fix. Damn LG s/w updater. This isn't the first time it's bricked phones.

HI ALL,
i have unrooted my phone and then i,ve updated my phone but i forgot to remove clockworkmodrecovery now when i reboot my phone it keeps getting in recovery mode
Is there anyone who can help me?
I have the exact same problem!
I've tried restoring a backup, rebooting the phone, turning it off, install update from sdcard, formatting cache...
None to any avail. Please help!
I've tried about every option now, I've even tried downloading a ROM and flashing it to the phone. It still boots into Clockworkmod.
Can I throw my phone in the trash now?
Edit:
I don't have windows XP, so nope to unbricking your O3D guide.
Sdcard
I can only put the rom at my external sdcard i don know how to put someting in the internal flash
I've now tried flashing KingDroid.
It's still in the bootloop.
Why does it seem like no one even cares about this thread?

People care but if they don't have an answer for you it's not much they can do, tried pulling the battery I guess and using CWM to reset battery data and reseting to factory defaults etc?
People arent answering because there is already a guide on the forum explaining exactly how to fix this.

I have tried about every single option in the CWM menus, and I've tried pulling the battery at random times.
None of them worked.
I'm now going to remove Arch Linux from my PC to make room for windows XP. Sorry for my previous outrage.
Next time remove CWM from your phone before updating...
I just installed windows XP and followed the guide to the letter. I am now stuck with the firmware update screen. How do I get rid of this?
Flash rom
I,ve managed to flash the rom with the original v10D but itś still booting in clockwork recovery mode pfffff
These phones really are hard to unbrick.
Tell me please how to exit Rekaveri. Reloading and pulling the battery does not helps, it means everything? brick?

If you're stuck at the "updating firmware" screen like me, you're simply ****ed.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1197108
use LG vip service.
I just called them, they said they'd "assess" my situation and that they'd call me back to tell me whether they'll replace it...
restore
Hi,
I have managed to restore a backup image but he is still booting in clockwork recovery what am i forgetting ????
Sincerely Snellie1972
Recover
I have recovered the phone with clockwork recovery with stock file
Optimus 3D 10D pre-rooted CWM restore but still it goes in too clockwork recovery at boot
What am i doing wrong ????
Thanks in advance
snellie1972
Unfortunately I was also able to get passed the clockwork screen but the phone is stuck on the update just like anybody else. I contacted the store where I bought it from and they sent me a prepaid box already to send it to them for repair/replacement.
As everyone says, at the moment it's not possible to recover from that state, sorry snellie.
If you still get the clockwork, then just follow these instructions but even so, you wont get passed the software update screen.
Flash
I have managed to flash using first de KDZ tool from LG en after that i have used te LGMOBILE update tool and just put in my imei and serial and it was downloading and restoring my phone so far so good but when it was Finished without any error it is still haging on update software ...
I don't understand why it is not going any further
Greetz
snellie1972
It's almost as if this firmware update screen is fake and an indicator for LG to see you ****ed your phone up.
Is there any known hacker even working on this?
Hey, guys!
First post from me in this forum, although I have been searching for some things for some times.
So, the problem is that I had Cyanogenmod 7.2 on my LG P500 for couple months. And ROM was working ok, but there was some problems and I thought I should get back to stock ROM, because actually it was working better and smoother. So, I searched for stock roms for my phone, found one and started to flash. Everything flashed well, phone booted up and then wave of errors started to come. So I thought that it ain't gonna be usable and tried to install a stock rom through official LG Updater, which obviously wasn't a good thing to do. everything, downloaded, installed, phone booted up and I was waiting with hope that it will boot up (android loading screen at least was showing), but it didn't happen. After that I managed to power phone off with getting battery out and then I tried to fix everything with one tutorial I saw in this forum with kdz updater. but at the begging it couldn't connect with my phone and after that screen showd Emergency Mode. nothing I could do, again took out battery to power it off and now phones doesn't show any signs of life.
What does it mean (maybe my phones is same as brick) and what should I do?
I would appreciate your help.

when your phone is in emergency mode then it will connect to the kdz updator

Plug in the wall charger for about an hour, and then try the buttons - press power button+ volume up button + back button together
keep pressed all three for long duration (maybe 8-10 secs you see yellow screen with written Emergency Mode). Then you are in Emergency Mode.
If no screen yet, then bricked - only LG repair center option.
so i started the day off thinking my O3D will never get a update im still on gingerbeard.....
so i went and rooted, put CWM on and flashed cynogenmod nightly 10.1 for p920.
okay great but then i got no celluar signal. searched online and i have to flash stock back on and try again... arg okay.....
found KDZ files and installed a load of softweare and finally it seemed to have completed, but then it was stuck on LG logo.......
ummm..... okay i went and found UK p920 kdz, and tryed again......now it just shows LG logo for a second and then turns off... now im really panicking.
i tried looking for other ways as im using win 7, i found smart flash. okay i finally got it to flash with a green messege and a celebration sound playing. but still just turns off after LG logo...
OMG, why did i have to play with it.... :crying: :crying: :crying:
any one has any ideas?
It's all fine, this phone is unbrickable.
Flash ICS V30 European or V28B with FlashTool, there are guides on the forums.
Then if you want you can flash CM10.1.

i could suggest 2 problems, either you have "bricked" thee phone and you need to flash basically any bin file again or your phone is like mine and it fails on the first boot maybe you should try this, put in the battery and let it go to lg logo and the turn off after it has turned off plug in the charger (DO NOT REMOVE THE BATTERY) it might boot up, in this case you can installed custom loaders and recovery by using xbsa's recovery tool and then pressing volume up after you try the second boot (with the charger in)
Just do complete resurrection guide and you will be just fine.Just search xda for resurrection guide topic.

Phone not rooted and I did NOTHING whatsoever.. Just wanted to do a restart..........
So.. Please help..
This could be caused by bad FS permissions in the system, but your not rooted, so it may be caused by a corrupt system partition. You may need to reflash with a TOT or KDZ, not sure which one. This fixed my issue exactly like this.
Also, have you tried holding power+vol down for a long time to see if it boots after that?
