WIND LG999DW Stuck at S/W upgrading screen

I am able to get into CWM recovery but unable to install any OS on the phone. Ive tried installing all sorts of .zip, didnt work. NEED HELP.
It is Wind mobile Canada version of Optimus 2X.

How about a better explanation of "didn't work".
And, specific information about which roms you've tried to flash.

Also how did you flash CWM?

i bet you he didn't flash it through nvflash correctly or maybe he didnt use nvflash at all.

I have used NVflash via command prompt on windows XP. when i hold the power+ -volume I see another LG logo( since I'm using the latest version 5 of clockwork mod recovery). I download rome like eagleblood, weaponG2x, WindG2x(some one had posted original android), miuiandroig2x etc. I have been creating .zip of each of them and pasted onto my sd card via mounting sd card from CWM recovery. then installed .zip from sd card and selected each of them but it says INSTALLATION ABORTED before starting. Not able to get any rom installed. Please help.

kdz updater crashes after 100% under download section. it says decompressing necessary files and doesn't respond after 100% and crashes. I've tried win 7 home basic 64 bit, xp professional 32bit.
Does not respond after saying NORMAL MTK UPGRADE START

read the guides/tutorials again
First and foremost I think you need to read ALL the tutorials on here a little more thoroughly, the way you're describing things indicates that you are unfamiliar with the correct process of flashing different roms. "S/W upgrading screen"?? "creating .zip of each of them"?? The issues you're experiencing are almost 100% user error and nothing hardware related.
Having said that, before you start blindly flashing, do a nandroid backup of your stock Wind rom immediately, then and only then proceed to flashing custom roms/kernels. Also, I would double check the nvflash instructions and repeat that process in its entirety, there's really no need to use rom manager at all or have the latest recovery release (from my experience with 5+ Android phones rom manager serves little purpose unless you're on cm nightlies, cwm and some patience is all you need).
Hopefully that didn't sound harsh, I'm honestly trying to help you, but seriously re-read everything then proceed with flashing, and if you're still having issues hopefully you can include more detailed information next time.

Hi, I have a similar problem.. I rooted my phone yesterday and then installed rom manager. When flashing, I chose LG Optimus 2X (which turns out to be P990) instead of the T-Mobile one (which is P999). My phone is the P999 one with Wind as well.
After a few seconds, the phone restarted and got stuck in the loading screen.
After doing a few searches, I nvflashed a stock image, but under phone info, the Model changed from P999 to P990. Problem is, the baseband says unknown and cannot get any signal. I tried KDZ updates as well as trying to restore stock ROMs using CWM Recovery with no success.
The KDZ method doesn't work as it gives an error saying there is a problem with the phone connectivity. Stock restores get stuck in a bootloop.
Does anyone know what I should do?

I have also tried the following :
Booted into CWM Recovery>mount SD card>USB Mount > extracted LG-P999-V10f>backup and restore(in CWM)> restore> YES
It went through and at the end said Restore Complete! but when i reboot I still see the S/W upgrade screen. I tried Factory restore too after restoring the above mentioned RoM
PS:My phone is not rooted and it is Wind mobile Canada LG-P999dw. Incase i need to root it then how am i suppose to do that since i am not able to bypass the Stupid S/W upgrade screen

You've somehow flashed an Optimus 2X baseband and ROM, so your baseband is messed. There was a couple of users that have done that here already. Try searching for the threads. They got their problem solved.

I don't understand why you are zipping ROM's. They are already zipped and ready to be placed on the root of your card for flashing.

This is totally a misunderstanding for everyone. T-mobile got a specific branded version called the G2X (in the usa) but the rest of the world got Optimus 2x. I hate when G2X owners frown upon Optimus users that have questions in the G2X thread & vise versa (though there were none in this thread ). The threads need to be better named to P999 & P990 & these misflashes would not have occured. Not just on this site but the whole damn internet. Let me sum it up for the world lol ... There were 3 versions of the Optimus 2x released... The p990, The P999 & The Tmobile specfic branded G2X which is also a p999. I have a p999 Optimus 2x as stated in my Signature. People need to check their version & goto the appropriate forum, But it doesnt help when you are in the correct forum as a newbie & 10 ppl who actually have no idea what version your Optimus 2x is end up telling to to goto "THE OTHER FORUM" because they're in their own closed little world lol. C'mon guys... u know I love you all!
ANYHOW
I've heard of people using Smartflash (a tool made for the p990 ONLY) to partially unbrick p999's to a working state. Here's a small conversation I found on another site:
"Mrjava65, on Apr 29 2011, 18:48, said:
Is there any update on this?
I was one of (hopefully) many who confused the P990 as the same thing as the Optimus 2 @ or the G2X.
So now Im stuck ...If there was a smartflash for the P999 i could undo all this mess !
Any update would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks
LOOK!
Sorry for not updating this topic previously. I had thought I did so however that was on xda. I was able to reinstall the factory rom from a link provided by a user on the xda forum and is also linked on this forum. Go here to download the rom http://www.fileserve.com/file/cwSGYn2/BIN_LGP999AT-01-V10f-310-260-MAR-27-2011+0.zip. You'll need the smartflash tool for the LP9990 to flash the bin files. I was only able to successfully flash the AP.bin, I believe Paul is working on getting a working baseband. The phone will be restored to factory settings after flashing the AP.bin with full functionality. I noticed the baseband is weak and searching for networks does give errors occasionally so we'll be patiently awaiting an update to solve this issue. Albeit your phone will be functional enough to satisfy you till then. If you need any help with the steps just reply in this thread"
*****UPDATE***** : Try reading this link: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1226795 seems like this 1 would be your best bet rather than the above!
Now I don't know if this will work but it appears to be the only option u have. AGAIN Smartflash is a tool for the p990 ONLY & I suggest u only use that method if the second method (second link above) does not work. The KDZ method was crashing for me too when I was trying to update to T-mobile GB OTA update stock but I found that skipping the part that says "Read Phone Information" helped me get past any freezing/app crashing. If you are have connectivity issues w KDZ then make sure you downloaded the correct driver from the LG website for the correct version of windows.
Please update us & let us all know if it remains a brick or if you worked out your problem.

Please help bought phone yesterday now i killed him :(

I just bought an Alcatel One Touch Idol Mini (OT-6012A) and rooted it a few hours ago with Framaroot, followed a guide on other site for improving performance i installed busybox, and VM heap tool then changed current heap size to 56m, rebooted then phone just freezes over my service provider logo!!!! i already did a hard reset and didnt work someone please help me damn :/

Did you make a full nandroid back up?
If yes you can restore it using cwm or twrp.
If no you may try using One Touch Upgrade to restore your phone to its original state

If you installed a custom rom and did a hard reset that means your rom is no longer installed as it has been wipe, proceed to install a new custom rom should fix it.
Best if you get help from your device sub forum and read thoroughly the guides there.

i didnt installed custom rom please help me im total noob to this

Try to search for stock rom for your device and sp flash tool.
If you are not aware on this, the best way ti do is to bring your phone in service center.

[Q] Phone Wont Turn On After TWRP Install

Just got my D800 in and was wanting to put a custom ROM on it. So I started off by rooting it with Stump Root.
I then wanted to put a custom recovery and rom manger didnt work and so I tried TWRP Manager. I selected the wrong phone, the LG G2X and it rebooted and will not come on now.
My questions are how do I fix this and get a custom rom on it?
Thanks

anyone?

more info. When I go to device manager, the phone is showing up as QHSUSB_BULK and when I plug the phone into the pc, a list of drives show up and windows wants me to format them.

cant believe no one has had this issue. Can you install different firmware though http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2582142 or do I need what was originally on it?

[Q] Bricked Alcatel C1 4015t AT&T

Bought it yesterday, rooted it using the same method as most 4015 owners did [Kingo Root] and everything was fine until it suddenly wouldn't pick up my network. Figured- "Hey, now is a nice time to try a custom rom!" So I was stupid enough to install a recovery for the 4015, which is apparently a bit different kernel wise.
So.. yeah. Bricked.
Only method I've found other users talking about hasn't worked, which is http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=58337881&postcount=4 Doesn't detect it. So.. I guess I'm screwed, unless there is something I don't know about.

What do you mean by " Doesn't detect it" ??
Doesn't the software detect your phone???
Maybe try installing your phone's drivers (Google it) on computer and try the software

Found root method
hey guys unfortunately I am stuck with this stupid phone. luckily i found the bet and probably the only way to root this phone. i used KingRoot this app roots most phones and tablets believe me ive rotted a couple chinese tablets a verizon galaxy s4, att galaxy s3 mini and the alcatel 4015t (att model). now only if someone makes a couple roms for this model because the other roms (4015a,d) work but it wont show my service . i would like to be apart of this even tho im a total noob . but ya plz inform me if you are going to make any roms for this phone it woul be exciting. and btw, you can use the 4015a custom recovery to flash roms so no need to make a new custom recoverery unless you encounter problems with the ones already made

I have the same problem, the root was successful , and after flashing CWM from Rashrt Tool on a 4015T Alcatel this is bricked .
Is there any solution?
may not flash the rom official AT & T using Sp FlashTool or any way to unlock the bootloader or making a modification to Mobile Upgrade S to install the rom alcatel 4015T because it does not recognize ?
