[T-Mobile LG G2x] wakeboarder8156:
Mine wouldn't connect until i reinstalled the LG T-Mobile G2x drivers and now it mounts every time. The drivers in the updater tool installed the 3.2.1 drivers which is for the G-slate. You need the 2.2 drivers which are for the G2x, if you need them just pm me and i can send them to you.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] VH99:
i deleted and reinstalled the 2.2 drivers with no success. im starting to think there's something wrong with my phone. But it could also be that i'm now running the Gingerbread leak from yesterday. rooted and working perfectly... well almost. i just need to get usb connection working.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] conspirator_boff:
Similar issue. This worked for me on Win 7.

Uninstall the LG Drivers and reinstall the G2x 2.2 package from LG.COM /us/support/mc-support/mobile-phone-support.jsp (I can't post links)

Plug the phone in and go to Device Manager. There should be a USB Composite Device that is not properly installed. Right click it and select Update Driver Software.

Select 'Browse my computer', then 'Let me pick'. Choose have disk, and browse to where the LG Drivers are installed. Likely C:\Program Files\LG Electronics\LG United Mobile Driver\ and select lgbus9x.inf.

Then pick LGE Android Platform Composite USB Device from the list of drivers. Should be the top option. Hit next.

I let it sit for a minute while the drivers installed. Some things registered in device manager right away, the LGE USB Modem for one. But, the drives didn't. Unplugged the phone, plugged it back in, and the drives popped up under Portable Devices.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] VH99:
@conspirator_boff i tried ur steps, but i couldn't find the USB Composite Device in the list of the USB Controllers in Device manager. Am i missing a step?
[T-Mobile LG G2x] conspirator_boff:
Humm, depending how it is connected it could have a different name. Do you have anything that isn't installed properly?

Also, if you haven't, you might want to look into mother board / system driver updates.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] dilwaala:
I'm in exactly the same boat. Running on Win 7 64 bit.. tried both 2.3 and 2.2 drivers but no luck. It doesn't get detected AT ALL. Tried with 3 different USB Cable on 3 different ports. I can connect other phones to the same port/cable without any issues.

I suspect there is actually something wrong with the phone or with a specific batch of phones. I googled around and read about a couple (husband and wife) who connected both their G2x's to the same computer on the same port/cable 1 at a time. One always worked, and the other never worked. I believe he eventually returned it and got a new one which worked fine.

We may have ended up with the ones from a bad batch?
[T-Mobile LG G2x] VH99:
I believe so... but why did it happen until now? I've had it since 2 weeks after launch, and this was the first time it happened. I guess ill call CS to get a replacement.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] dilwaala:
Hmm interesting. I can't say the same for mine since this was the very first time I actually connected it up to the computer. Mine is completely stock and I bought it at launch.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] dilwaala:
Just to give you guys an update:

I took my G2x to a local T-Mobile store. They tested my phone out on their own computers and it did not mount via USB. They ordered a replacement phone so it is actually an issue for some people and not drivers/system setup. Apparently I was the 3rd case that the store had encountered.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] wakeboarder8156:
Mine wouldn't connect until i turned USB debugging on, now it connects every time. Might give that a try.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] VH99:
I might do that.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] VH99:
I have it on all the time. Also tried w it off
[T-Mobile LG G2x] dilwaala:
Same here. No luck with it on or off.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] albertorodast2007:
yup, its a driver issue under win7 I can't access the storage neither over my laptop nor my desktop using win7 but I can do it using ubuntu on both! one more point for open source code! gonna try this later to solve it on win7...
[T-Mobile LG G2x] dilwaala:
Just received my replacement G2x from T-Mobile. Plugged it into the same computer using the same cable using teh same drivers/setup I was using with the previous phone.

Worked like a charm with the new replacement phone. Was recognized in seconds. So I guess for some it's just a software issue vs. for others, it's a genuine hardware problem.

Anyways, I'm happy now!
[T-Mobile LG G2x] VH99:
I went ahead and called T-Mobile customer service.. they had me do everything I had already done I was tellin them I needed a replacement but they just tried to troubleshoot. So finally they transferred me LG and well I got a replacement on the way. Hopefully it doesn't have other issues like screen bleed
[T-Mobile LG G2x] deanp0219:
Reading the boards I've noticed quite a few people who have possibly bricked their phones by using this horrendous piece of garbage. Leave it to LG. Regardless, I would strongly recommend against using it and either waiting for an OTA update or using xboarder's flashable, rooted update here: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1179748 .

As far as I can tell, no one has been able to fix the s/w updater issue, which is leaving phones either with no recovery or unable to boot past recovery/restore ROMs.

This isn't the first time either. Just google "LG Software update bricking phones".

Oh wait, I did: http://www.google.com/search?source...gc.r_pw.&fp=79f73547dc11dcbf&biw=1366&bih=667

For those of you who possibly bricked your phones; hang on, I'm sure some of the great minds on this board will come up with a fix. Unfortunately, I'm not one of them.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] deanp0219:
ALSO! For those of you who don't know this already -- you MUST restore the stock recovery BEFORE trying to upgrade. That's also been causing problems. Just use NVFlash to restore the stock recovery, THEN upgrade using LG software if you must.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] pvtodorov:
The stock camera app doesn't focus as quickly or have nearly as good quality (unacceptable quality IMO) as the LG app. I use my camera frequently and would not have updated if I knew it would be gone (reason why I didn't flash CM7).

Does anyone know of a way to restore to stock? I installed Nvflash at one point or another...
[T-Mobile LG G2x] butterbeam:
I was stock rooted and update killed that. No more root. But phone works great so far.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] pvtodorov:
Update: I was able to restore Clockwork Mod (or had it from before, didnt check) with NVFlash. Then restored one of my NANDroid backups from before.

Bye bye ****ty LG gingerbread update.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] MuzzRock:
I will agree with you. My phone is now bricked. Stuck on the S/W screen with no sign of ever getting it back. I was stock non rooted. And yes I did it on a win 7 64bit machine. Damn you LG and your ****ty updater.:mad:
[T-Mobile LG G2x] retropcdos:
It come back, I brick it the same way, once's before, if you didn't root, hold the power button and volume up at the same time, or if you did root, uses NVflash or clockwork to recover. And don't recommend using a 64bit OS for any type of programming or flashing, just install VMware player, it uses your CPU virtualization to run a different OS, while in your host OS and it's free, that allow you to run XP on a virtual partition, and use USB devies from host machine. The nice thing is if you mess something up, it won't effect the rest of the machine, and you can run the 32bit XP version of the tool.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] newtothisthing:
Works great on mine. I backed up, used tga gunmans stock restore, replaced with stock recovery, unrooted using super one click. rebooted, installed the update, reflashed to custom recovery with tga gunmans app and installed the rooted version from xboarder56. Time consuming would be my only complaint and I love screwing with this thing so who cares.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] mfreywald:
Yes, my phone is too bricked by this app. Did any of you that are now bricked get to 4% after the download and during the update process, then windows popped up a dialog and claimed the app was no longer responding? this is what happened to me and boom, now i can't get back. I even tried doing the nandroid restore of the stock rom from CWM. Still can't get out of the S/W updater screen. Is there anyway to reflash the bootloader? I did try a live chat with a LG tech and he wanted me to do a hard reset. which is basicly holding down the vol-down and power button. so i did a nvflash back to stock recovery and tried it. It showed the box and android screen but then rebooted back to the S/W updater screen. So I called Tmobile and they won't do a replacement since i used LG's app. Said I HAD to go through LG to either fix or replace the phone. Called LG and have a RA# to send it in. Unfortunatly I have to pay for shipping there and it could take about a week to get it back. This really blows.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] tidewaterns:
Mine worked fine on a 64bit windows 7 machine. I have not had no issues at all. The update is great (I think). The only problem I have is that the camera on the update sucks.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] deanp0219:
Here's an APK for the stock camera, but I haven't tried it on the update yet because I'm waiting for my phone to restore. Feel free to be a guinea pig ;)

[T-Mobile LG G2x] JHaste:
maybe you should have waited all of 30 minutes from when it came out for someone to say that it was the vanilla android camera app? either way, just flash your recovery again and just restore a stock nandroid...

I didnt have any problems on win7 64bit installing via the update tool... follow the freaking directions and stop getting so antsy and messing with things... mine was stuck on the S/W screen for a bit but all i had to do was unplug pull the battery and put it back in and plug back in and the update kept going...
[T-Mobile LG G2x] tidewaterns:
stock camera does not work. try it already. thanks though.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] hmm2k8:
i tried the LG updater on my win7 machine. let it sit @ 5% for 48mins.

then i tried the KDZ on the win7 machine, it crashed.

got out an old laptop w/ winXP SP3 - tried the KDZ method a few times, the final time it gave me model dll msg not found error 100 times, after that it rebooted the phone into gingerbread.

do it the KDZ method on a winxp computer before you mail these phones! i tried for 2 hrs and finally got it working!

edit: my phone was rooted & stock (no nvflash installed)
[T-Mobile LG G2x] crazythunder:
just because you had no issues doesn't mean others aren't. relax dude. i'm very adept at upgrading/modifying,recovering what seem to be bricked phones. much experience with haykuro's 1.33 death spl. but my win 7 64 bit machine would not install the update. NO MATTER HOW MANY TIMES I UNPLUGGED ETC. it was stuck on s/w upgrade. i nvflashed recoveries,did nandroid backups. tried everything i know of. different cables/ports....nothing worked. until i installed xp on a spare partition. finally kdx worked on the first try,even after the lg update tool failed on xp.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] player911:
No one has bricked their phones. NVFlash and your back to life. Mine wouldn't even power on... No display... No boot logo... Nothing.

[T-Mobile LG G2x] JHaste:
my point exactly... nobody really understands what bricking is... the definition of a brick means its literally nothing more than a paperweight... it is IMPOSSIBLE do anything to get it to work because the phone will not respond to anything... the fact that its on the S/W screen means it has life yet and as already pointed out just use NVFlash to breathe life into it...
[T-Mobile LG G2x] newtothisthing:
Mine worked fine on the update with XP Pro
[T-Mobile LG G2x] chrisdepew:
How? I have NV flasher and tried to flash to stock and it still sits on the s/w update screen. Please if you know what to do, feel free to pm me or respond here. I am at a loss as to what to do.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] newtothisthing:
Take your sd card and hook it to your computer. Create a folder named "clockworkmod". Open that folder and create a folder named "backup". Place TGA Gunman's stock recovery in the folder.On your phone hold down the volume down and start button at the same time. You will then see a new screen, release the buttons. Go to "backup and restore". You navigate using the volume up and down buttons and select with the power button. Choose the back up that you will see there. When it is finished navigate back and choose "wipe data-factory reset". Reboot. Power on and you are back to the day you purchased it. Or download a ROM from the developers section. I liked "Ultimate ROM". Then choose "install zip from sdcard. You are now better than when you purchased it.

Everything is good so far, updated with a win7 pc.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] uploder:
ehh it doesnt seem worth it. ill wait on updating to this....
[T-Mobile LG G2x] chrisdepew:
The only thing I have done is installed NV flasher program and selected flash to stock. Is there anything I need to do prior to creating all the folders and downloading the stock recovery?

Right now if I do the volume down and power, wait for the box and android, I get the list of options and I am able to navigate but I can't select anything. I tried this without an sd card in. Is this normal or is something else already wrong?

[T-Mobile LG G2x] MuzzRock:
Yep tried this and I'm still stuck on the S\W Upgrade screen. While I used the nandroid from here http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1048274

And Still nothing I go to reboot and just get the S\W screen. I talked to someone at LG and they said I can return the phone but It needs to be all stock. Tried reflashing the Stock recovery and I'm just getting errors.

Is there a way to Root from recovery? So I could flash a different Rom?
[T-Mobile LG G2x] mmapcpro:
You said you tried restoring the stock nandroid and only got errors. What errors did you get? When? Did you select "wipe data/factory reset" immediately AFTER restoring the nandroid? Before you did do these steps?

1) pull the battery out

2) start NVFlash on your PC

3) press and hold volume up and volume down buttons at the same time...keep them pressed

4) plug in the usb cable (still keep volume buttons pressed)

5) click the Flash Clockwork recovery (either internal or external support, your choice)

6) When it finishes and says "press any button to continue", release the volume keys

7) unplug the phone and insert the battery

8) hold power button in while holding down the volume down key until the ANDROID screen comes on with all the different app icons

9) select "backup/restore"

10) restore the nandroid of your choosing.

Did you do this exactly?
[T-Mobile LG G2x] MuzzRock:
Yes I now have CWM installed. I've followed those steps and it still just boots back to the S\W screen.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] mmapcpro:
I"m assuming you did install the APX drivers for nvflash to recognize your device?

And are you trying to boot into recovery with the phone unplugged?

How do you know clockwork installed on your phone if it won't boot into recovery at all? I"m just trying to understand the situation precisely.

I suppose it's possible that your internal partitions are borked...and there's a tutorial on how to fix that, and I can provide a link if someone hasn't already given it to you...but I would not want to recommend that route until someone more knowledgable than I confirms that this is the case.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] chrisdepew:
I had the same thing. I have flashed back to stock and am continuing to try the .kdz method. Its not working either.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] MuzzRock:
I can boot into recovery I just can't boot into the OS.

Sorry if my post was confusing. I appreciate your help.

If I hold volume down and power it will boot into recovery. I created the folders stated above on my sd with the stock nandroid restore placed in them. I click restore it goes through the motions but when I reboot after wipe it goes right back to the S\W screen.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] MuzzRock:
Is there an update.zip I can try installing from sd card without root?

Never mind I tried the update Modaco had on his site from earlier this year it looked as if it installed it but when I rebooted right back to the S\W screen. Damn you LG!
[T-Mobile LG G2x] richteralan:
For those who failed to use LG updater tool to update their phone,

I bet they didn't follow instructions precisely, and/or didn't restore phone to stock conditions (also failed to follow restoration instructions precisely.)

I'm among the very first few to update my phone through LG updater tool and posted screenshots here on XDA. And I have NO PROBLEMS AT ALL. (just waiting for root GB)

My suggestion: DO NOT ASSUME. DO NOT GUESS. ALWAYS FOLLOW INSTRUCTIONS PRECISELY.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] MuzzRock:
Think you might want to follow your own instructions and not assume. My phone was stock unrooted so no reason to restore. And yes I can follow instructions but thank you for your useless and unhelpful comments. Glad everything worked out for you.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] Nospin:
If this were any other company I might agree with you. But LG has released a flagship phone with major software problems and were unable to fix it for months. It's well within the realm of possibility that their update tool fails to do everything right as well. Just because you did everything right and had no problems doesn't mean people that are did something wrong.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] richteralan:
I think this goes back to the angry nerd rage at non-working G2x.

People get flamed of having a problem-free G2x.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] Helixdimension:
my fellow g2x'ers rooted stock, or unrooted stock, we now can download an unfinished but very much release-worthy "pre patch" to a leaky ship of a phone.

I updated by connecting my rooted stock phone in debugging mode into my laptop and running lg update software. mounting the phone's data drives is not necessary.

after the update went thru I still had every app, and all of my previous settings including my unlock screen pattern.

everything works well and I'm loving the bells and whistles of gingerbread.

the camera app is stock GB and although not the best it will do. one thing I did notice is the front facing camera takes up the whole screen rather than a 4:3 ratio letterbox like stock froyo before "patching"

I will add more info of my experiences as thr days go by. thank you LG!

I was given an Insight that was pre-rooted with Coredroid on it. The wifi worked then, but after I turned it off and tried turning it back on it says "error". I tried switching it to a different rom (gtg465x's Inspired Ace), and at first the wifi worked. After I tried turning it off and back on again, it didn't. Then I flashed it back to stock and did a factory reset and the same thing happened with the wifi again.

Is it possible that a file was modified and didn't go back to its original state?
[HTC Inspire 4G] cavsoldier19d:
Sounds like you might have a file or data corruption with your wifi drivers or files. Make sure you perform a full wipe, then reflash rom. There are zip files that you can run through clockwork mod recovery that will perform the wipe for you.

Go here... http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=996383

Also, if you are backing anything up using Titanium backup or any other backup software, never back up and restore system settings, as this tends to cause problems.

If after a full wipe and reflash of rom, and you are still having problems, you might have a hardware issue.
[HTC Inspire 4G] theox88:
Do I have to re-root it it get clockwork to work?

I read somewhere that a reset through the menu isn't the same as hard reset through the boot menu. I've tried a few different combinations of powering the phone while holding the volume button down. But I can't seem to get the boot menu to come up.
[HTC Inspire 4G] cavsoldier19d:
The phone has to be rooted/S-off in order for you to install clockwork mod recovery. There are two methods of rooting. You can try either

or HTC Inspire/DHD Hack Kit V11 http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=952352

In order for you to boot into the bootloader, you must disable fast boot. Go to either Settings > Applications or Settings > Power to disable fast boot. Once disabled, shut down your phone completely. Once off, hold down the volume down button and then press and hold the power button until it loads the boot loader. NOTE: Be very careful with what you do you in bootloader.

I am patiently awaiting its release. The videos of it on YouTube make it seem worth the cost. I would stay away from expansys though. They tend to be a bit misleading about their lead time in getting things in stock. I ordered something that was supposed to be in stock in a week and it took several. I ultimately cancelled my order and got what I wanted directly from Samsung. Samsung needs to push out their accessories at the time of product release. Had they done this with the keyboard it may have reduced the positive buzz that the transformer has received...
