Hi Everyone,
At the moment, I cannot get my LG G2X to boot into Cyanogen Mod. I cannot get it to boot into recovery mode. I cannot get it to do anything but sit at the second LG logo. This is a problem.
If I allow it to boot with no special button-pressing, it will get to the second LG logo, and stall there until the battery runs out. If I hold the VOLUME DOWN and POWER buttons, it will get as far as the first (white) LG logo and stall there (holding VOLUME DOWN and POWER for a full 60 seconds).
History:
A few weeks ago, I had flashed my G2X and installed CyanogenMod 7 (specifically 7.2.0) from here: http://download.cyanogenmod.com/?type=stable&device=p999. I accomplished this through the excellent One-Click NvFlasher ClockWorkMod provided by TGA_Gunnman (found here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1056847). Once in a while, I would have to clear the caches after a reboot, but that was my biggest problem, and one I was prepared to live with. Until now.
Things I've tried:
Most fixes start with reflashing CWM. I did that, using the aforementioned One-Click NvFlasher ClockWorkMod tool. It stalls as follows:

...and won't do anything else.
So, for whatever reasons, it will not send CWM-5020.img. To check, I tried nvflash.exe directly. Same general result. I tried with a different file (recovery-clockwork-5.0.2.0-p999.img), same result. I also tried the advice here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1590523&highlight=bricked+help and tried to wipe out my partitions. While that tool runs successfully, it does not change the results with One-Click NvFlasher ClockWorkMod
Summary:
Can't boot. Can't boot into recovery. Can't flash the ROM.
Any ideas? Anyone?
Thanks!
I forgot to add: when I unplug from the one-click updater, I get the following error message:
Code:

So it seems that this doesn't help. I scanned through the thread and didn't see anything that seemed like it might address this issue.
It may be driver related. Reinstall drivers then follow the instructions to resurrect your phone.

Would you recommend reinstalling both the LG USB drivers and the ATX drivers for nVidia? (I'm probably going to do both anyway.)
I've forced a reinstall of the NVIDIA USB Boot-recovery driver, using the same files included in the one-click recovery tool. After that, I attempted to run the tool and had the same failure listed above (command failure: partition download failed). For laughs, I tried djvoleur's solution as well, and got the same error again. So it doesn't seem to be a driver issue.
When you do the NVFlash recovery, did you take out the battery, hold the up and down volume buttons in, while holding the buttons in plug in the usb cable, while holding the buttons in run the recovery until it is completed.
Just for ****s, try flashing twrp. I also have another idea, but I can't get it set-up tonight.

Yes. The battery was out the whole time. Held the buttons down, plugged in the USB cable, ran recovery, recovery stalls at 65536 bytes. Held it for about five minutes, just to make sure.

Same result as each of the others: stalls at 65536 bytes sent. I don't think it's an issue with any of the actual recovery mods, at this point. I think it's something wrong with getting data onto my phone, perhaps?
How about trying to update the phone with one of the KDZ updates? Use Emergency mode. There's an offline updater which uses an http server to fool the LG updater into not accessing the LG update website then doing the update. It runs with a VB script which does everything. I once used that with the V21Y_00.kdz file when my phone wouldn't restore.

Tried this. First tried the second link (the all in one with the offline web server). That didn't work because the zipfile with the webserver and other software had a virus which specifically infected the web server.
Followed the directions in the first post, then. These seem to presume that you can get to USB debugging mode (which I can't, because the phone won't boot). Got as far as Step 3 in that post. When I click on "Upgrade Start" I should get a pop-up for "Select Country & Language". I do not. Instead, it starts the LG Mobile Support Tool directly. (I should mention at this point that I'm on WIndows 7, if it matters). The updater checks the connection with the phone, and finds an acceptable connection. Since it was supposed to go into the Updater anyway, I hit "Start Updating". After a while, this fails with some sort of connection problem with the phone. I've tried re-running the LG Updater under several conditions (in Upgrade mode, not in Upgrade mode, etc.). No luck.
Doesn't seem like this is a solution I can get to work. Should I try something else?
The virus warning is false. Disconnect from the internet and/or turn off your wireless connection then run it. Also, if it stalls, let it wait.
If it doesn't continue within 10 minutes, try it again.
---------- Post added at 11:51 AM ---------- Previous post was at 11:46 AM ----------
Also, I made sure that all of the applications in the substitute web-server update package were allowed to run as administrator before I ran the script. If that doesn't work, try running the apps individually without the script in the order they're required to be initiated which is in the instructions that come with that package.

I'm having exactly the same problem as that person right now. Using the offline update, I got up to "Normal MTK Upgrade start" but then the program crashed right afterwards. It also doesn't help that the phone keeps on rebooting. For the online update, I can get up to 32% before the phone reboots and I have to restart the update process.

If it got to 32%, it has installed the baseband, that gets installed first then the Android. Try doing a restore/recovery of just Android that's compatible with the baseband.
Have you tried running the flash with the battery in? I know all the instructions say take the battery out, but im having similar issues with my phone, and once the phone is recognized in Device manager in APX mode, insert the battery, then run the flash. That seemed to work for me.

In my experience when that happened to me.... It was my firewall/virus scanner. Try disabling those before attempting another flash.

You can't boot? And if you can it's an common bug on the bootloader and it doesn't seem to affect the device.
In my device it occurs when I have no SIM inserted.

I don't have bricked Nokia, but did you format the whole phone storage when Windows said it's broken? Because it can be the reason why your phone is bricked.
