Improvised Unbrick Tool for the Optimus 2X

Now we have an improvised unbrick tool for Optimus 2X. This tool is somewhat similar to the USB jig method of most of the Samsung devices. 

 This tool is based off of prior efforts, such as this tool by XDA Senior Member Homero2. XDA Forum Member ProgMag has improved previous efforts by including a number of features. As ProgMag explains:

The main advantage of this tool over other tools is that in this case factory misc and lgdrg partitions are included.

The tool includes useful tools such as NVFlash, and the associated ROM and recovery files. 

How to use this tool

To use this tool, you must have installed drivers nVFlash, which of course are included.

Once installed, you only need to click on "flash.bat" and follow the instructions.

 Afterward, users will have a fully functional device with ClockworkMod Recovery and a clean slate to go flashing again. Interestingly enough, the ROM included actually isn’t factory stock. It’s a CM10 nightly from November 5th. So those who want some AOSP goodness after unbricking will actually get it. Also added is CWM 6.0.1.5. as a recovery partition.
