I Want to give a huge thanks to gunnman for helping me out with my phone issue. Even though my phone is stuck in a bootloop he tried to help me out. I really appreciate his help and of course the contributions he has made and continues to do.. I have a new phone on the way and I'll be installing this when I get my new phone.. Thanks gunnman ..
[T-Mobile LG G2x] BAleR:
Thats good news, the only comp i can use is close to 10 years old i think. Thanks for the response, i cant wait to get this phone!!
[T-Mobile LG G2x] diablos991:
Worked like a charm!

Now I don't have to worry about only having fakeflash...

Let the nightlies begin!!!
[T-Mobile LG G2x] booch137:
Test2 is working minus the reboot as stated earlier but when i use the reboot feature, the phone turns off and immediately shows the charging screen without me pressing the power button. Backup worked perfectly. Thanks for the easy flash!
[T-Mobile LG G2x] Raudi119:
Worked great!

Appreciate the tutorial and the One-Click easy method.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] wIIse:
follow all the steps and finished installation... now after putting the battery back and hitting vol down + power my phone says:

S/W Upgrade Please wait while upgrading (no usb cable connected to pc) and it has been like this for 5 minutes... got tired of holding vol down.

Should I try the method again? What did I do wrong? I tried CW3207
[T-Mobile LG G2x] wIIse:
UPDATE

It works, I did something wrong on the last step booting to Recovery via vol down + power... I release the keys as soon as I see the LG logo... hahaha

Now this time, I pulled the battery.. placed back in... hit vol down + power and kept them held until now I see the ANDROID as posted in OP and now it was turn to release keys! VOILA!! BOOT IN RECOVERY!

THANKS
[T-Mobile LG G2x] tgerbracht:
Worked first time through, just do some careful reading for those having trouble. Thanks for this.

Odd question, but here it is:

I did the "fake flash" method through Rom Manager then did the nFlash procesure here. When I flash moving forward, do I always need to power down the use volume + power to get into recovery or can I still use the nice menus in Rom Manager for functionality (i.e. make backups, restore, etc)? Thank you.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] Endless Mike:
Worked great! Thanks! And yes, I am one of those newbies that likes clicking buttons rather than running scripts and such (not that I am averse, just lazy). ;)
[T-Mobile LG G2x] ananthb:
Something weird happening here. After booting into recovery with Vol- and Pwr, my touch buttons work fine for my first selection. After that, they're unresponsive and I can't press search (enter) or back anymore, but I can still use the volume buttons to scroll. What gives?

Anyone else having this problem?

Of course, I can still use the power button to make selections. I just wanted to know if the touch buttons not working was normal.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] cervantesjc:
every time i get into CWM with the "Vol down and power" my phone reboots by it self it doesn't stay on recovery, anybody elese having this issue?

[T-Mobile LG G2x] Sinistra425:
I have tried to do this method on my wife's G2x with Gingerbread 2.3.3 and I am not getting into recovery all I get when I boot into recovery mode is the S/W screen did I do something wrong. I am not new to this rooting thing I have my HTC Sensation 4G rooted and running ICS rom but this phone is a bit different
[T-Mobile LG G2x] pitflyer:
The process works fine, done it a few times.

Are you holding Vol Down and Power till after the BLUE LG logo appears, then releasing? Because if you release too early, it won't go to the CWR. If that's not the problem just run it again.. the last time I had to try a couple of times, pay attention to the console window of NV Flasher to make sure it downloads the bootloader to the phone.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] rxc777:
downloading new link to try it...

will post how it goes with it :D

EDIT: Still getting the same error >_<
[T-Mobile LG G2x] goldmantx:
Cheers mate! Worked like a charm. Thanks for posting and compiling all of this!
[T-Mobile LG G2x] Sinistra425:
Yes I am holding down the volume down button when the LG logo comes up I release it and it doesn't load clockwork it loads the s/w upgrade pleases wait while updating
[T-Mobile LG G2x] tahahawa:
Not holding it long enough. This happened to me before. You also need to hold down the power button.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] elmagodeoz21:
thank you you save me and my phone
[T-Mobile LG G2x] b4d455b345t:
It did work. The thing is that you need to hold down Volume Down and the Power button and wait for Clockworkmod Recovery to pop up after the 5 second or so of LG's logo showing up lol. If you let go of the power button, it goes into the S/W update screen
[T-Mobile LG G2x] YungMage:
I can get the nvflasher installer to install when I click the apx in device manager I cant fint the file to run it. Any help?

EDIT:I finally found out through the Unlockr website that I needed to install WInRar so that it could see and extract the file.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] info[]box1:
That's your computer. What version of windows are you running? XP, 7 ?

Edit: I had an issue, not your issue. I wipe my lappy and reinstalled windows 7.

Ultimately I use my lil brothers desktop and was in and out in 10 mins. After wiping my lappy I had the same result.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] PowSniffer0110:
Ok weird and unique problem I have. I had CW 4.0.1.0 or whatever. I didnt back up before flashing to CM9 from CM7 (I know stupid of me) and you can only flash from internal. In CM9 I can not find where it mounts the SD!! Its gone. But when I go into recovery, there is the CM9 zip with GAPPS zip... Oh b.t.w Ive tried flashing CW5 and windows doesnt turn phone onto S/W page :( it recognizes the API drivers (as ive previoisly had them installed) What do I do??! I cant find where to drag over a CM7 rom to internal to see if Windows will run S/W through gingerbread. Please help. Need to flash from internal and external
[T-Mobile LG G2x] heo_con184:
Works like a charm.

Just a small question : should I use SuperOneClick to root my G2X before using this tool ?
[T-Mobile LG G2x] daxecutioner24:
From my understanding superone click does not work on gingerbread..either way just get cwm 5.0 with nvflash
[T-Mobile LG G2x] Alkalin3Trio:
ok, I've read every page on this post and STILL don't have an answer. I've downloaded and extracted the files. I remove the battery from the phone. I HOLD down the volume down and power button. While doing this I connect the usb cable which is plugged into the computer. The LG logo screen comes on but shuts off and continues looping. My computer will not recognize an APX device and no word of a lie have held down the buttons for 10 minutes straight. Still nothing. I need help please.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] TGA_Gunnman:
Try Vol up and down. Not power button. Then plugin the USB cable. just like the OP instructions state. Then install apx driver then install recovery. Just watch the unlockr video.

[T-Mobile LG G2x] ugly pete:
I have rooted 3 different G2x on my computer. I recently installed windows 8 and now when i try to install the APX driver, it tells me "This driver is not digitally signed" before i flash it. Then it says "the third-party INF does not contain digital signature information" help!
[T-Mobile LG G2x] l0lcats:
The problem most likely is that you're using windows 8...
[T-Mobile LG G2x] ugly pete:
yeah i know. it sucks because the g2x is the only phone that doesnt want to play nice with windows 8. I just rooted my galaxy nexus, kindle fire, galaxy tab.... just want to do my g2x!

Jesus i hate these restrictions in windows 8. I have even done an advanced boot to ignore driver signing and even that doesn't work.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] DsturbD:
with the phone off hold the vol down and the power buttons until it turns on. you will see a plain white LG logo then another LG logo with a blue background. when you see that one release the buttons. it will boot into recovery then
[T-Mobile LG G2x] tarroyo:
Quick question, When you get to the last step regarding booting into recovery I didn't realize the disclaimer said that it was a 'fake flash' and I need to flash true rom manager to get it working.

I flashed a rom b4 reading that and am stuck at a boot loop after rebooting in recovery, now that I finally got the fone booting after powering on/off multiple times. Will flashing recovery fix this bootloop or is there additonal steps I need to do?

A little confused with this as well ' If you flashed the ClockworkMod recovery from ROM Manager it does not flash the recovery to your phone, it fake flashed it. The only way you can gain access to ClockworkMod recovery is through ROM Manager at that point. Using this method is the only way to flash recovery so it is persistent and accessible booting to recovery.'

Edit: After watching this video http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qUT5...iv1-3SYcFV-Zc0o&lch=email_reply&feature=email I see that I 4got to wipe all data
[T-Mobile LG G2x] mitchkm55:
I have read 64 pages of this thread, and still have been unsuccessful at unbricking my G2x. I got it from a guy on craigslist who said he wiped something in clockwork recovery and after that it only goes into a bootloop.

I have tried this guide, as well as this one --> http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1590523

All parts of the tool in this thread complete successfully, and then the phone reboots to the LG logo. If I don't pull the USB at that point, the screen will continue to boot and only show the LG logo and then shut off and loops. When I put the battery back in, and try to turn it on without being plugged in... Nothing (no matter what mode I try to boot into). So I plug in the phone while holding down VOL- and Power, and the LG logo stays up for about 6 seconds (a record!) and then black, and then the screen flashes a lit-up black screen and the buttons light up, but only for a split second. Then THIS starts to loop.

I figure that as long as I can still get into download mode and the LG logo pops up, my device is not completely lost. :confused: Anyone have insight?

[T-Mobile LG G2x] mansa_noob:
Have you tried a different battery? It is nearly impossible to brick this phone, especially with the process you described.

The second link you cite is the source... It should work.

Let me know if nothing works and you are willing to ship it to Markham, ON, Canada :D.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] mitchkm55:
I don't have access to a different battery, but that could be a possibility... Never thought of something that simple. Possible water damaged battery ;) Thanks, I'll try it out and let you know!
[T-Mobile LG G2x] tarroyo:
Are you able to boot into recovery? If so try factory reseting then wiping data/cache/ and dalvik cache, I thought my fone was bricked after numerous unsuccessful bootups like you described.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] mitchkm55:
No recovery.. The phone will simply not boot, not even into recovery, if it's not connected to my computer or the wall. So the battery reasoning makes a lot of sense.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] TGA_Gunnman:
Never buy something that doesn't work. Hope you didn't spend too much on it. He might have flashed the wrong radio/modem on it. Try looking into that. P900 modem isnt compatible yet people were trying to flash it. Can you enter apx mode? And in windows device manager do you see the nvidia apx device under system devices? I know not all usb cables work with g2x. Just throwing some stuff out there.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] mitchkm55:
Would it be possible to flash the correct radio through this tool? APX mode works as well as Windows seeing it, that's how I have gone through this guide about 5 times, but the phone will just not boot past the LG logo. I have a feeling that it is the battery. I actually got a great deal on the phone too.. Paid $150 for the G2x and a mint condition unlocked BB Storm II. So if all else fails I'm just going to part it out.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] tarroyo:
Thats what I meant, you can't boot into recovery when connected to a computer to connected to a wall charger?
[T-Mobile LG G2x] mitchkm55:
Nope, it will just boot loop.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] mansa_noob:
I have a perfectly working g2x that will boot loop if battery is removed and it is connected to charge via usb. I think that is normal.

If battery is dead I doubt you can boot into recovery... I don't have a dead battery to try that though :).
[T-Mobile LG G2x] mitchkm55:
AWESOME. That makes me feel so much better. I will try to find a friend to borrow a battery from to see if it cures it! Will keep everyone posted! :D
[T-Mobile LG G2x] mansa_noob:
Anything to report or haven't tried a current battery yet?
[T-Mobile LG G2x] mitchkm55:

[T-Mobile LG G2x] mosij:
Hey Guys,

I'm getting really frustrated and could use some help. My phone was freezing a lot after installing one of the ICS roms; forcing me to to do a battery pull. I turned it off so that I could use CWM to install one of my previous roms. However, it wouldn't turn on. So I got home and tried to update my One Click Nvflasher to the 9/23 version. I followed the instructions... over and over again (my fingers are killing me), to no avail.

I've tried doing w/ the sd card in, with it out, reflashing the One Click NvFlasher 9/23, reflashing my original 3.0.2.7 version. Nothing is working. It refuses to go past the "bootloader to initialize", and the phone never lights up (like it used to in the past, with the "S/W Upgrade" message.

Here's the message I get, once my fingers give out from waiting in vain. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Once the device is recognized in device manager (windows) you can let go of the vol +/- buttons. That should help your fingers.

If you don't have a problem with wiping internal sd you can try this approach.

[T-Mobile LG G2x] mansa_noob:
Won't eat up time. Stick in the fridge for 2 hours then try the procedure. If that does not work you can put in the oven at fifty degrees (50) for an hour our so and then try it again.

The oven one may be dangerous but fridge is ready to try.

Actually I would buy but the price is out of my range :(

I'm having a strange issue maybe someone can help me out.

Whenever I flash a kernel for 2.3.7, this is AFTER i flash the ROM and gapps, I cannot clear Dalvik cache. So I flash the kernel, hit dalvik and all i get is a quick screen flicker, nothing more. I try to clear overall cache and then fix permissions, so that works.

But the problem is that once i restart from CWM menu, i go into a boot loop no matter which 2.3.7 ROM/kernel combo I use.

The strange thing is, if i just flash the ROM/gapps, for 2.3.7, i can clear dalvik no problem and boot up no problem.

I can flash any GB/kernel and ICS/kernel combo no problem, with everything working. it is with 2.3.7 I have an issue. Team Nekkid, HFP, and the newest CM7 Nightly with NOT boot with any morfic or Faux kernel i use.
