Ok now for all those whos phone just only goes to fastboot means you just soft bricked your phone! but dont worry its still not fully bricked and there are ways to fix it. I also had this problem and the way i fixed it was by flashing the P500 kdz. You'll get weird distorted colors once its all flashed and booted again but just sign on your google and go to the market and go back to the CWM recovery and flash it again and this time dont do backup within the app! I noticed if you use anything in the app itself it couses this problem, so just do everything by rebooting your phone in recovery.
First, get all the drivers.
HERE: http://www.lg.com/us/support/mc-support/drivers/LG _USB _Drivers_All_4.9.7.zip
Now, get the KDZ flasher
HERE: http://www.lg-phones.org/wp-content/uploads/KDZ_FW_UPD_EN.7z
Then get the the KDZ file to flash
HERE:V10E_00.kdz - 4shared.com - online file sharing and storage - download
(If that doesnt work you can google for a P500 kdz file)
Ok once you decompress kdz updater there are three seperate files to work with. 1. windows enabler. 2. msxml.msi 3.KDZ_FW_UPD.exe
Double click windows enabler and you will find an icon in the system tray at the bottom. Left click once and it will say on. Click and install msxml now.
Now you have to boot the phone into emergency mode, turn phone off even if it means taking out the battery.
Press power – volume up – back (this button is next to the home button).
Connect to usb now. the lap top found new hardware and installed four drivers.
Then open device manager. Left click my computer – properties – device manager. You need to disable the lg modem driver. Left click on it and disable. You might need to restart the computer for this so do that too.
Now launch kdz updater. There will be a drop box on left set to 3gspt or similiar. on the right drop box set to diag. The long box just above the info box with a file at the side lets you browse to find restore file. e.g. V10e.00.kdz.
Double click the button below and let it do it’s thing. My laptop is old and slow. Took 15min. My phone shut down and came up with an error at the last minute. Anyway I rebooted and all was good.
Now the phone has all distorted colors and funky but dont worry just Root your phone with Gingerbreak
Gingerbreak v1.20.rar - 4shared.com - online file sharing and storage - download
Then go to the market and get Rom Manager and just flash the recovery, and choose Optimus One. Then you can go back to the Stock 2.2 rom, by flashing one of these from the recovery. Go can access the recovery by holding home and Up and Down Volume keys.
