A little bit of common sense when installing apps can go a long way. You stifle the market too much when you cater to the lowest common denominator but then if you don't you get stuff like this.

+1 on Droidwall too, great app. Just don't turn it on and then forget about it before getting it set up properly, it's a pain figuring out why you can't use the internet on anything lol

[T-Mobile LG G2x] munashe:
Hey ppl. I have a really BIG problem with my G2x and I was wondering if you could help me out. I ran the LG Mobile Support Tool to update my G2x to 2.3.3. After the process, my phone is stuck on "S/W Upgrade Please wait while upgrading..."

I tried using to LG Support Tool and it's saying that I'm running V21e

I can't boot into recovery. All I get is "S/W Upgrade Please wait while upgrading..."

Before doing this I had done a backup through the recovery. How do I get it to bootup?

Any advice and assistance would be greatly appreciated.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] chasseurtech:
I have the same problem! Stuck on "S/W Upgrade Please wait while updating..."
[T-Mobile LG G2x] deanp0219:
So pulling the battery out, unplugging the USB and pressing vol-down + power doesn't boot to recovery? Did it freeze at 4% or get all the way through and now you're having this problem?
[T-Mobile LG G2x] deanp0219:
I'd suggest shutting the phone completely off and trying to root it again using NVFlash: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1054492&highlight=nvflash

I think that's the only real option if you can't get into recovery. I'm not guaranteeing it will work, but it's worth a shot.

If you can get it rooted again and get back to CWM, flash 2.3.3 using this: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1179748 instead of LG's awful garbage updater.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] munashe:
It went all the way through.

I did the battery pull and pressed Power + Vol-Down and it didn't boot into recovery.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] jspeed04:
Same issue.

I've been working on this since about 1:00 PST.

I've tried 32 bit laptop. 64 bit desktop.

When I had initially got it going after about an hour, it basically had gotten to the "download" tab and constantly got stuck a 4%.

I have never had root on the phone, no custom roms or anything. Just a $543 brick.

Called LG was told to "Pull the battery and put it back in". Seriously? You guys had me on hold for 5 minutes and wasted 15 minutes of my time to tell me that?

Then I was told by the same guy if that doesn't work there are no other current workarounds other than sending the phone back to them.

No thanks.

Then I was live chatting with an LG guy named Jorge at the same time. He told me we needed to hard reset. Told him can't do that because the "S/W Upgrading" screen will just flash back after a power plus volume up hold. He said he believes we're having issues because it is so new, they seemed to have been blind sided by this. He said that they think that everyone was trying to update at the same time, possibly suggesting server overload.

Anyway, I've tried multiple computers, multiple USB ports on each. Multiple USB cables, and I even tried using a KDZ file that apparently housed the entire update. But for the life of me, I have no clue how to flash a .kdz file.

Any suggestions are MORE than welcome!

Thanks guys, and good luck.

Sorry guys, wish I could help more but I'm stumped. I'm sure there are people on here smarter than I am who can figure this out. It seems to be a widespread problem so hopefully someone will figure out a fix. Damn LG s/w updater. This isn't the first time it's bricked phones.

I've noticed - and was surprised to see - that there's a fair amount of bloatware on my CM7 distribution, including:

Clock

Downloads

File Manager

Music

News and Weather

Videos

Voice Dialer

Can I remove those by mounting via USB and removing APKs? Can it be removed using Root Explorer?

Which method? And, if so, where do I delete the files?

All of the extra icons are driving me nuts and I can't seen any reason for hanging onto apps that I don't use...

Thanks!
[Fascinate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Ritchell:
I'm not an expert but I think these are just vanilla gingerbread apps, and therefore were included with CM7. They're not bloat in the sense that they're not apps loaded on by your carrier (e.g. VZ Navigation) or by the manufacturer (e.g. Kies Air).

You can probably get rid of them really easily by mounting R/W in Root Explorer and deleting/renaming the apks in system/app. I like the idea of renaming a .apk to something like .bak (backup) so you keep the file, but it disappears from the system.
[Fascinate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] M00NEY:

So Whats the difference.

I prefer Tegrak just because it allows finer control over CPU settings but at the same time it seems more Dev's are willing to add setcpu support into the kernel vs tegrak.

My question is what is the real difference and which do you recommend?

I currently run both, setcpu for its profiles and Tegrak for its finer control, but should I switch to just setcpu or just tegrak?

TIA
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] JupiterdroidXDA:
Tegrak is a module which sits on top of an unaltered kernel, and alters it. Set CPU needs an altered kernel to function. Tegrak I think is the better and more stable option:)

It it can connect to T Hungary, then there isn't any problem with the device, it's just locked.

If cannot connect to T Hungary and anything else, but sees them, that is a softwer problem in my opinion (not a dev).

It can be unlocked for $9.99 here: LINK (don't like to advertise)

They are doing a maintenance at the moment, but should be done with it sooner or later.
