Boot back into recovery and do a dalvic /user data wipe then a cache wipe then re instal your rom. make sure the rom you installed is for your phone.
well i didnt know clockwork isnt compatible with the g2x so i had that and so i downloaded a rom through it and it asked me to reboot and know its stuck on the lg screen but its a different lg logo it could be the cyngamod one that i downloaded i try to factory reset it but it doesnt allow me to pick it the android system recovery <3e> and only 4 options come out reboot system now, apply sdcard:update.zip, wipe data/factory reset, wipe cache partitionand none can be selected some one helped if looked around but cant really figure it out
Wait, slow down,
Can you get into clockworkmod recovery? But ti doesn't let you pick anything?
You may have disabled the power/select button. To re-enable it, scroll up over everything 4-5 times (just keep on hitting volume up until you go over everything 5 times)
If that doesn't work, follow this guide: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1180331
just realized the post above said exactly what i was thinking. NVM
So you used rommanager to flash a rom and it screwed up your phone and recovery....

Hello XDA.
See, here is the problem ...
My friend has a LG Optimus One P500, he asked me to root it. I succesfully rooted his phone.
The other day, he send me a message that he bricked his LG Optimus One P500, he said that he installed a font with ROM Toolbox.
I went to his place, the phone was totally bricked, we looked all across the internet, every solution we found ... Did just not work.
So I came here, the place of all android knowledge lives to ask this, How can I unbrick this blazing phone.

Have you tried booting into recovery ( Power + Volume Up + Home ) and then wiping cache and dalvik cache?
Hope you have installed a custom recovery. If you have only rooted, maybe a factory reset would help.

No, unfortunatly he did not install a custom recovery, but something happened, when I plugged the hone to the PC and tried to do a hard reset.
But I can'y put my finger on it. Maybe u can tell me?

With stock recovery you should be able to perform a factory reset by pressing and holding the Power button and both volume buttons for 10 seconds. If the USB drivers were previously installed, you might be able to boot the device in to fastboot mode and then use Android Flash Recovery to install a custom recovery.

Thanks mate, I will give it a shot. I will reply you later.
Hey guys, I have a little or rather big problem regarding my LG P920. It only boots into CWM, but here the story:
A few days back I updated my phone to the newest version with the official LG Support tool. After this the performance of my phone went downhill. Scrolling, swiping, typing – all those things lagged and lagged.
So I decied to root my phone using this guide: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2366916
Everything worked out fine, I uninstalled some annoying system apps but found that the performance didn’t improve all too much. I went to the next step: custom ROM.
I used this guide: http://www.android-hilfe.de/anleitu...s-custom-roms-fuer-anfaenger.html#post5147071
It’s German, so I’ll try to describe what exactly I did.
First I flashed a ported ICS:
1. I Installed the LG Flash tool 1.2
2. I downloaded this ICS (http://d-h.st/QgU : XBSA404_AP.bin and XBSA404_CP.fls) and also the LGP920_110622.dll
3. I uninstalled the LG drivers and installed the CDMA drivers (version 4.9.4) to make sure the phone is listed as ‘LGE CDMA USB Serial Port’ and changed it to port 41
4. I then flashed that ICS (with .bin and .fls), got to 80% and finished
5. The ICS booted with no problem (only problem: it didn’t seem to recognize my German SIM, but whatever)
Then I installed a new bootloader and CWM:
1. I downloaded Omap4boot v1.25a (forum.xda-developers.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=1641950&d=1358098807)
2. And then installed the OMAP4430 drivers through the device manager
3. I downloaded the non-touch CWM v6.0.1.9
4. And then installed CWM using the ‘start_fastboot.bat’ from the omap4boot folder
After this I decided to flash CM 7.2:
1. I downloaded it from the official CM website and put it onto my SD Card
2. I started my phone into CWM using the button combination and made a backup first
3. I wiped data/factory reset and started to flash the .zip from my SD Card
4. At around 60% the progress bar got stuck at ‘Installung Update’ nothing happened for 30mins so I pulled the battery
5. I tried it again and again – no luck
After this is where it all went wrong (at least I think so)
I noticed that CWM gave me this error quite a few times: Can’t mount internal SD Card
I googled it and read somewhere to do a factory reset from the android menu.
So I restored my backup, rebooted into android, went into the menu and selected factory reset.
The phone went through some progress windows and then powered off and rebooted – into CWM.
From this point on I never got it to NOT boot into CWM.
I tried many things:
1. Restore backup again – no luck
2. Flash ROMS again (CM 7.2, 7 nightly, 10 nightly) – no luck (the installation actually finished, but reboots into CWM)
3. Flash stock ROM using the Flash tool (v21.e) – reboot into CWM
4. All kinds of combinations of wiping/formatting data/cache/dalvik/system/batterystats etc in CWM
5. This guide http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1942836 and the rebooter tool mentioned at the end
6. Using the official LG Support tool to reset upgrade errors – stuck at 4% of installing
I saw another post which suggested to flash universal_recoveryloop_breaker.zip, but this apparently didn’t work and got the phone stuck at LG logo – should I even try it?
I saw other post with similar problems but always another model –p925 or p720 and not much information given about what they did, that’s why I went into detail and hope to find a cure
I saw drastic00's guide here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=39269819 suggested a lot but wanted to post this first before I try a second guide that might only make things worse.
I spend the last few days in front of my PC and phone but nothing worked – I’m starting to go nuts..
I am willing to try everything, to provide any information you might need to help me figure out how to fix this.
Thank you for any help provided – it is greatly appreciated
If stuck at LG logo try factory hard reset.
Try dreccons recovery loop breaker

It's not stuck at the LG Logo, it boots into CWM and I can go through everything and do everything in CWM.
Would you suggest I try your guide first or try hard reset? If your guide - what exactly should I do, where be cautious? And how do you perform a factory hard reset?

I saw this being suggested in this thread as well: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2441478
But when he wrote that after trying that he didn't even get into recovery anymore I got scared
You said you flashed and it sticks at LG logo. If you are flashing the correct files, not a wrong binary, factory reset should fix that.
Can you enter download mode? i.e. hold vol up, connect usb to pc, insert battery. You should see "S/W". If not you might need xbsall's or Karim Kahale's unbrick guide. If you DO have download mode, you can just flash as in my guide. But I can't stress enough that drivers must be installed to pc correctly.
Ported ics is old and from the Korean device. Could be cmod is not compatible, dunno, but that could be the issue. In that case you may have a 'hard brick.' Wrong ROM with wrong firmware.
Wait so did u flash recovery loop breaker or not? I am confused. If not flash it. It will delete your recovery then you got to flash another but worth it

I have never had recovery loop, so yeah, you might try what Niko says first.
Flashing will redo your OS, etc. but if you have just a recovery loop you may not need to start over from scratch...

Sorry for the confusion: I didn't try to flash recovery loop breaker. I just saw another thread in which a guy had a similar problem to mine, someone suggested he should try loop breaker, he did and atferwards his phone got stuck at the LG Logo, that's why I hesitated to try this.

I can enter download mode! And I already tried xbsall's unbrick guide with no success though.

I don't know what exactly I have sorry, this is my first time rooting, flashing and all that.
The phone only boots into recovery. I can flash other ROMs, I can restore backups and do everything else in CWM, but when I reboot I get booted into CWM again.
I was hesitant to try the loop breaker, because I saw the other thread, but I will try it this afternoon and tell you how it went.
Just a quick question: what if I end up stuck at the LG Logo afterwards?
Update:
I flashed the recovery loop breaker and flashed CM7.2.
When I now start the phone the LG Logo appears for a few seconds, then a white screen with small dots/pixels comes up and the phone is stuck there..
sooooo.. i think this is not good.. right?
I started to prepare for drastic's guide, downloaded all the files and will do that tomorrow or the day after, or would you suggest something else I should try first?
I have never installed cmod so I don't know.
You can follow my guide if you want. Like I say, drivers must be installed correctly and you must pay attention to details.
Doing random things is not going to help you.
Why do u want cm 7 anyway? if I would want CM I would go for Cm 10 (my current rom lol) and If i would want GB i would one with 3D support

The loop breaker said to flash a new ROM afterwards, CM7 was the only thing I had at hand, so I tried it.
Right now I don't really care which ROM I flash, I just want to use my phone again :crying:
I'll try your guide if you don't have other suggestions so far, let's hope I don't end up in a recovery loop again - this is driving me mad
I will keep you posted on how it goes with your guide or if I have any questions. Thanks so far !

:confused?: So after you flashed loop breaker what exactly did you do? After flashing loop breaker u need new Recovery not ROM if you reboot and try get into recovery which is not there you gonna end up at lg logo. Is that what you did? Anyway if you do follow drastic00's guide you should be able to revive your phone..TWRP Recovery is integrated in xbsa rom (am I right drastic00? not sure) I would recommend you try xbsa v8 first then you can decide if u want different rom
Also drastic don't want to bring my stuff here but you know what I said about weird startup screen ? He probably got the same thing he said he sees white screen with pixels and dots . Still no clue what could be reason?

I have not had this particular problem so I don't know what could be the cause.
Flashing xbsall's v28B rooted ICS should recover the device as long as the phone can enter S/W mode. Yes, it has built in TWRP recovery, but it resides in system partition, not recovery partition. Any old TWRP backups you may have are probably not compatible with this method of custom recovery, so keep that in mind.
You will have a recovery loop when you try to factory reset your device using the soft reset like this
Settings>Backup & reset>factory data reset
Dont do this if you have custom recovery
To do a factory reset use cwm/twrp and choose wipe data/restore to factory setting
---------- Post added at 03:25 PM ---------- Previous post was at 03:18 PM ----------
And to recover on this thing you have to reflash a stock firmware using kdz update or lg flashtool.
I cant provide you links. Im on mobile use. Try to search on forum. Im on mobile use

This is exactly what happened to me. I will try drastic's guide now, it uses stock ROM at one point if I'm not mistaken. I'll keep you posted what happens. Thank you!
It worked! My phone boots normally and everything is fine, yay :victory:
Thanks for all your help, now I just need to explore everything in this custom ROM
Is there a explanation or guide of all the apps in this ROM? I've installed XBSA v8, maybe I'll upgrade to vR3D soon, how much better is it?
Edit: On a second thought...
THIS ROM IS BASED ON CANADIAN ROGERS V30C AND IT HAS NATIVE SUPPORT FOR ENGLISH, FRENCH AND SOME ASIAN LANGUAGES.
IF YOUR LANGUAGE ISN'T ONE OF THEM YOU MIGHT HAVE PROBLEMS WITH SMS NOT BEING DELIVERED CORRECTLY IF IT'S WRITTEN TO ANY OTHER LANGUAGE.

I think I'll stay with v8 then
Check xbsall's page for ROM details, linked at the top. :thumbup:

I would install a custom recovery and see if you can install Roms, push ROM to sdcard try to install, if not then you may have a hardware fault
