Hello ! i am new to this comunity ! please i need some help ! It's about my LG P880 ....i flashed a wrong rom to this unit and now it wont turn on. The screen is black even when i plug it in the wall soket. The only thing when i plug it into my pc it shows like a APX missing driver ant that's it. What should i do ? i only heard of the JTAG repair but i am in Romania and here something like this is unheard of and the shipping costs would be around 150$ to usa without repair. PLEASE HELP ! :((

relax. 1st thing to do is take a breath. 2nd thing to do is follow some guide to do it right this time. maybe it cant boot, but it can go in adb mode or in upgrade screen and restore the original forcing the original rom in. its ur choice.

oke. since u tried install a custom rom , i suppose at ur pc u have the right drivers installed for adb mode, right ? if yes , then take this all in one toolkit from afro and it will save u . http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2230934
if not , tell me. next post ill show u what to do for the adb bootloader.

the link you provide is old. nobody can download drivers from there anymore, his links are dead.
maybe the nvflash utility is the same with this one here ?
and the apx drivers for 4x are those the same for 2x ?
APX device not recognized... NVFlash doesn't work on P880 (AFAIK).
And if you pay atention, the links also as uploaded drivers are from 2011, old.

Check SW

First of all try this:
1. take battery out
2. put it back
3. press and keep volume down
4. while keeping volume down plug USB cable, after 2 sec should enter to S/W upgrade
try exactly how i said and report if that works.

Well, before touching any device you should have patience, if you said "APX missing driver ant that's it" i don't think phone is already dead ;)

we made it to install the correct drivers. i helped him in this. there was no way. his phone really was dead. maybe he is one of those 3 people in the whole world who bought it new and the update through lg pc suite killed it. oke ... ***** happen* in this world sometimes. too bad i feel sorry for a new phone. :(

Well i don't have a lot of experience of re-installing phones, but i don't think that phone died of software missing/failure on phone, should be extra drivers/soft to wake it up, even after formatting all device, or maybe when he tried flash rom phone hardware got burned. i feel sorry for that phone :(

Sorry for English language mistakes ^^

nah its ok. you see , this time i believe he is right , it died. the reason is because this happened while using pc sync with the pc suite. the original lg software caused him this issue. i was not there to see what happened but for the original to fail so bad..... its one in a billion.....
