Hi

I'm trying to get the drivers installed but no luck..

Following the description to the best i can, but still....


Phone (obviously ) off..
Batt out
Holding vol up+down
inserting USB cable (on the back of the PC)
*pling plong* Pc recognises the APX unit

Device manager, upgrade driver. selectiiong the right folder.. upgrade .. . . . . . .

Fail to install drivers, INF file not signed.....

What can i do?... im running XP

[kakemanx]

NVM... tried on another PC... works now....

[hackworks]

I used NVflash yesterday to ensure my device is in a clean state (stock). Found a few things that might be of interest:

State:
- NVflash & drivers properly setup
- Remove batter and plug in USB with vol up & down pressed

1. If you type 'nvflash --sync' and try flash.bat, it just does nothing and stays on
2. Get back to above state by pulling USB and again press vol up & down and plug USB
3. DO NOT TYPE ANY NVFLASH COMMAND
4. Run 'flash.bat', works the first time!

My uneducated guess (but a hacker mentality)
- I think the device runs in a mode which can handle only 1 nvflash command. Maybe it writes somewhere to read 1 command from the USB port instead of running a service (daemon) like adb

Request someone with more knowledge to validate my finding or is it just coincidence and I am trying to fit a theory :-)

Need a little help please. I'm trying to help someone who used this restore on a p999 by mistake. What would I do to make the exact restore for the p999. I will try this from mine. The baseband is really the only thing he hasn't fixed. Thanks ahead of time.

I experienced the same problem on my first LG2X - pretty sure the GPU was fried as it had major display corruption twice within 3 days after which the phone would not boot for about 10 mins the first time or ever the second. (When my laptop's GPU went I had similar display corruption)

Swapped phones at the shop and never had a problem with the new one. First one was dead within 5 days of ownership.

Thanks paul for nvflash!
this saved me today from a break...

I'm please to make the latest (*at time of writing) LG 2X ROM release available for your use in NVFlash format. This is doubly useful as it provides us with a great 'disaster recovery' solution for when we're playing with new ROMs, recoveries etc.

Please note that you use this at your own risk!

NVFlash is for use on Windows PCs.

Excellent details on how to set up NVFlash are available in this topic (thanks jmcnz), but in a nutshell the process is:

• Download the ROM file below
• Download the driver file below
• Turn device off, remove battery, plug device in while holding volume up and down - screen will stay black but Windows will add a new 'APX' devices
• Install drivers extracted from driver file download
• Run 'flash.bat' from ROM file download
• Wait for flash to complete and device to reboot

The all important files...

• NvFlash ROM v10b / 1300166062 (15/03/2011) - DOWNLOAD (Mediafire Pro) - MD5: b17cb7fd3542b5d02baf49879a83acff [CURRENTLY UPLOADING]
• NvFlash drivers - DOWNLOAD (Mediafire Pro) - MD5: 2eab4f16fe1337a209a550ccd0be69c2

Enjoy!

Paul - would it be possible for you to set up a NVflashable version of V10f for the LG 999 similar to the above (or the upgrade to 2.3.3 - whichever is easier for you)?

A  number of these (including mine) have been bricked by the apparently infamous LG Uploader, and a recovery path based on NVflash would be greatly appreciated.  i cannot establish connections with the device through normal LG Drivers, but still can with NVflash.  

If you could set this up, and post a link in the 999 XDA  forum - you will make several new friends over there.  I have a replacement coming today, but would still like to give it one more shot..

[g6hoq]

err think ive blown it...
followed the destructions, installed drivers as instructed, device shows in device manager
run a command prompt as administrator
run flash.bat
and it stops at approx 90% of sending fastboot.bin

any ideas anyone.

Thanks
Steve

Edit: Reset phone using Down Volume & Power button... seems to have done the trick, phone no longer boot loops so no need to NVflash an older rom..

Hi to everyone who made this possible.
I've been an Android user for years - flashed my WinCE HTC TyTN II with Android years ago, had a Galaxy Spica, Galaxy S and now LG Optimus 2X.

Anyway, I nearly ended up with a bricked 2X but thanks to Paul and Co (or just Paul?) it is back.

Here's a tip that I found here:
http://www.droidhype.com/page/2/

Tip: If you issue a nvflash command, you will need to unplug your USB cable and replug it every time or else the next nvflash command will not take. I’m not sure why this happens, but repeating a nvflash command back to back doesn’t seem to work.

I wish I'd found it before waiting for nearly 4 hours for the phone to flash - at least the car is now nice and clean

It doesn't, the devices are not compatible.
