I explained in my posts what`s going on I ran one click recovery flasher then I boot into recovery & go into clockworkmod recovery on my SD card & tried to install the stock zip but it just keeps saying installation aborted & won't install … can some please tell me what I'm doing wrong
[T-Mobile LG G2x] srdryl:
Also when I do a back up of my current ROM then go to clockwork mod & try to flash an older version & go back to restore my current back up it says miss match md5 sums
[T-Mobile LG G2x] calebjhamby:
The guide I pointed you to doesn't provide you with a clockwork flashable stock zip. It's a clockwork restorable nandroid backup, which you would've seen if you had read the guide.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] srdryl:
I downloaded all of these LG-P999-V10f or LG-P999-V21e or LG-P999-V21y & None of them will install
[T-Mobile LG G2x] calebjhamby:
List the steps you took from the time you downloaded them until it didn't work. Be detailed.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] srdryl:
First I open nvflash & run it with my phone attached without the battery then run it till it says sw upgrade then I pull the phone & put the battery back in & boot into recovery then install zip from SD card then I go to clockworkmod &go to recovery & try & install the recovery zip & it says installation aborted ( with all 3 zip files I tried)
[T-Mobile LG G2x] mansa_noob:
If you are getting md5sum error then make sure the zip filename and path don't have a space in them.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] srdryl:
No the error mssg I get is installation aborted that's the only error I get
[T-Mobile LG G2x] xBkKx:
You sure you aren't downloading zipped nandroid backups? You need to unzip it and move the folder to your clockworkmod/backup/

Directory then choose the restore option in CWM

What you talkin bout Willis? o-O
[T-Mobile LG G2x] hotboy30:
yes sir, everything went through as i said. i got the driver downloaded to recognize my phone, i saw the files downloading on the nvidia flasher, i saw s/w on my phones screen, i even waited a few minutes before unplugging usb after download finished. thats why im baffled as to why the power vol up/vol sown button is not working
[T-Mobile LG G2x] hotboy30:
only thing im wondering is if u have to be on stock rom to do it, cause i have eagles blood rom wich i flashed through rom manager wich brought me to cwm then i got to flash eagles blod. could tht be it do i have to have the stock rom? i been flashing since my g1, mytouch, hd2 and now this phone first time i went through this
[T-Mobile LG G2x] TGA_Gunnman:
Try pushing Volume Down only + Power. Like the instructions indicate.

1. Power off your phone.

2. Hold Vol Down + Power.

3. Keep holding them, as soon as you see the word "ANDROID" in orange letters let go of the buttons.

There is no volume up in the instructions. Also hold down Volume down first then hold power.

Hope this helps.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] :
lmao ok how about this question what can i do if i brick my phone?
[T-Mobile LG G2x] aohmer:
I am sure this has been asked, but my g2x is rooted and I have rom manager and installed clockwork that way ... do I need to do it this way still???
[T-Mobile LG G2x] crazythunder:
please add recovery-clockwork-3.0.2.8-p990.img to the app. i just flashed manually with no issues.

nevermind. i did optimus2x by mistake. however, it does work without a hitch.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] hotboy30:
ohhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh man, i feel like a super nube. i apologize for wasting that minute you had to post your comment for me. i must need glasses i thought i was reading vol up/down. again sorry and thanks tga_gunman. i got it working now
[T-Mobile LG G2x] tq745:
thanks gunnmann, got it to work flawlessly.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] crazythunder:
it's in the very first post-op, in big bold letters

Flashing the custom recovery using NvFlash is the only way to ensure that in the case your phone will not boot up, you will be able to get into recovery to fix the issue / flash a ROM / restore from nandroid backup. That is what this app will do for you.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] chnky18:
after installing and going into recovery i made a nandroid backup and then powered off and booted back up but got stuck at g2x screen by tmobile and would reboot and it happened 4x before it finally passed that part of the boot up.

everything is working fine now but any idea as to why that happened.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] TGA_Gunnman:
I will add it as soon as I get back home. At the fish shack.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] crazythunder:
nevermind. it's for the o2x. might cause issues. i don't want to be to blame lol.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] jpdaboss:
I Finally got step 2(Flash ClockworkMod Recovery) to work and for the first time by pressing vul down and power i got into the boot into Recovery screen but when i did step 3.Restore LG G2x Stock Recovery worked i tried to get into the recovery screen by holding vul down and power it did a master reset. what happend?
[T-Mobile LG G2x] jpdaboss:
so i guess my question is why when i flash clock work i could get into recovery screen but when i do the flash stock and i try to get into the recovery screen all i get is a master reset..
[T-Mobile LG G2x] crazythunder:
why did you flash the stock recovery? didn't you know that stock recovery will only perform a master reset? don't you see the big bold letters a few posts above this?
[T-Mobile LG G2x] TGA_Gunnman:
I'm back from eating.

I just caught that, P990. I was about to PM you to tell ya that I don't think its a good Idea to add until I asked Koush Dutta about it. I'll just wait.

Sorry if this has been answered but searched for it found nothing maybe using wrong words, just got the G2x as a insurance replacement for mytouch 4g and when I update APX driver it said digital signed not there turned off UAC still will not install on Windows 8. I know there is a way just can't remember it.

Thanks

EDIT:

Found an old laptop with Windows 7 got it installed thanks for the work.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] buru898:
You can just hold shift while pressing "restart" on Windows 8, go into troubleshooting... thing something else, then it'll show a list of options you can choose from, click ok, and it should be option "8" I believe? Something like "Disable Driver Verification" and you can then install the APX drivers.

[T-Mobile LG G2x] TGA_Gunnman:
Cables go bad. Try another. And if you can, another pc. Just to trouble shoot.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] blackbeasst:
tried 3 different systems and 3 different cables. all recognize my phone the second i plug it in. none will with this phone. also, all 3 cables/computers WILL charge the looped phone when off :confused:
[T-Mobile LG G2x] fabricatedhero:
Well if your trying to use NV flasher try putting it in s/w upgrade mode for PC to see the APX driver as per instructions.

If you can get that far you should be ok.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] blackbeasst:
you mean by doing this:

Remove the battery.

Plug in your USB cable to your PC.

Hold Volume Up and Volume Down at the same time keeping them held down.

Plug in the USB cable to your phone. (Keep the buttons held until Windows detects a new APX device.)

Open Device Manager in Windows and you should see "APX Device" listed with an error icon.

Right click on the APX device.

Select 'Update driver software'.

Select 'Browse my computer...'.

Select 'Let me pick...'.

Select 'Have disk'.

Browse to directory you extracted the *driver* software to: One-Click-G2x-recovery-flasher-04-28-12\APX.

Accept any warnings, including the big red alert (you may need to disable UAC).

Now in Device Manager under 'USB Controllers' you should have an 'NVIDIA USB Boot-recovery driver for mobile devices'.

If not, uninstall the driver, reboot, rinse and repeat.

if so, tried it and nothing.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] Seminoles:
I did that but rebooted computer before flashing new recovery. Then did the fowling.

1. Remove the battery.

2. Goto NvFlash directory and Double Click "OneClickRecoveryFlasher.exe".

3. Make sure the USB cable is unplugged from your phone.

4. Hold Volume Up and Volume Down at the same time keeping them held down. (Keep them held until you see the "S/W Upgrade" screen on your phone after you complete step7!).

5. Plug in the USB cable to your phone.

6. Click the "Flash CWM" button of your choosing. If you own a External SD card I suggest to choose version 5.0.2.0. This gives you Internal and External SD Support for ROM flashing but has External SD Nandroid Backup Support Only! If you do not own a External SD Card choose version 4.0.1.5 what has full Internal SD support for flashing ROMS and Nandroid backup.

7. You should see it send a bunch of files to the device and the phone screen should say "S/W Upgrade - Please wait while upgrading...". Once the files are sent and the program is finished running in the command window, you can just pull the USB cord while it still says "S/W Upgrade - Please wait while upgrading...".

8. Put the battery back in and you can now boot into Recovery.

Then flashed all kinds of new ROM's this way

1. Power off your phone.

2. Hold Vol Down + Power.

3. Keep holding them, as soon as you see a "Blue LG Graphic" logo let go of the buttons.

Hope you get it working
[T-Mobile LG G2x] blackbeasst:
starting at step 6 when i choose the cwm option it acts like its going to send the files but then gives me the "usb device not found"

im just gonna cut my loses and ebay it. maybe someone else can figure it out :)
[T-Mobile LG G2x] Seminoles:
What computer operating system are you running and try right clicking OneClickRecoveryFlasher.exe and run as administrator also are you holding the volume buttons until the files are transferred after step 7?
[T-Mobile LG G2x] blackbeasst:
xp, just like i have for the other 5 phones :)

and i never get to step 7. while holding both volume buttons once i get to step 6 (the box that pops up showing the transfer of files) thats when it shows no usb device found.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] frankdrey:
Are there Linux tools like this anywhere?

Can someone please tell me if this rooting method works with rooting 2.3.4?

this will install CWM to enable you to Flash a custom rom.

I just installed cm-7-20130301-NIGHTLY-p999 and it is running smooth but for outdated superuser binary, which will not update and I cannot backup nandroid via CWM 5.0.2.0. It fails with I/O for /data/data/com.google.android.gms/shared_prefs/recovery_state.xml, but instead of .xml, a .bak file exists.

I just tried to restore this version of CWM to see if that would fix it, but no luck. Any ideas on how to get a backup?

[/QUOTE]

I broke down and reformatted by 32GB sdcard and no luck. I fixed permissions, cleared Dalvik, switched from superuser to supersu (I was tired of the outdated binary issue). I don't want to run Rom Manager as it crashed my phone several months back after an update.

Re-flash CWM.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] pmorrsn:
I did try that, sorry it was not mentioned. My phone just crashed, probably with the attempt at fixing my SDcard as it was stable for the past week. I am restoring Hellfire 2.4.0. I will reflash CWM 5.2.0 again. Is the CM nightly the most stable GB Rom to run?
[T-Mobile LG G2x] Волк:
Try this version of CWM. I honestly don't know what the changes in the versions are, but it can't hurt to use a different image than the one you have issues with.

There are no ROMs newer than the latest CM7 "nightly".

If you continue to have issues, you should start a thread in the Q&A section.. I would offer for you to PM me, but I can't be sure I will have the attention to devote to helping you.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] pmorrsn:
I reverted back to hell fire Phoenix 2.4.0 and got back the ability to restore again, so I think the recent cm7 nightly update may be the problem.

Thanks for thinking about a solution.

Everything worked perfectly first try thanks to your instructions! I just have one question: now that we have CWR installed via this method, will we need to keep using this method to update future CWR versions? Or can we just use rom manager premium like I used to do with my incredible?

[T-Mobile LG G2x] reapur:
Hi Guys,

Thanks for all these fantastic tools for the G2X.

I have some questions about the implications of flashing this recovery.

I had an N1 since the start but never rooted so I'm a little behind.

I rooted my G2x and now I'm waiting for cyanogenmod's ROM.

I'm reading like crazy on how to prepare for the day that I install that ROM, but I'm unsure about a couple of things.

What am I doing when I install the CWM recovery? I understand the phone has it's built in ROM, does this recover go on top of it?

The instructions say to Flash the CWM recovery and then Restore the LG Stock recovery.

Sorry for the noob questions, but I'd like to experiment with all this but I don't want to be without a working phone while you guys are sleeping and can't help :) so I'd like to know more up front.

Like I said, I'm rooted and I just want to flash CM7 when it's out. But I like the advice here about the recovery and I'd like to learn more.

Best Regards
[T-Mobile LG G2x] yozpalang:
You don't need to flash the stock recovery it is for the people who want to revert back to stock recovery, after you have successfully flashed the CWM recovery head to CyanogenMod page and flash

Error When trying to flash G2x with OneClick

Forgive me if I overlooked this throughout the thread, but I keep getting an error when clicking the different buttons (CWM test 2, stock etc). I am super new to this and had fakeflashed CWM through ROM manager and installed yesterdays nightly build. I want to flash the right way so I can recover later if I screw something up. I keep getting the "unhandled exception error. . ." I posted the info here and have no idea what it means.

Update: I had the one click flasher in two places without realizing it and was running the wrong one that I had removed from the folder containing everything it needs. Flashed without problem. Thanks for making this noob-proof.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] vinnyjr:
Getting ready to install CWR, which one is the preferred? Test 2 or the 3.0.2.7? Currently have CWM 3.0.2.7 by way of rom manager. Would it be better to have both recoveries the same or does Test 2 have less issues? Thanks for all the help. I have gone thru all posts and no one has made any comments about which one is or not better then the other.

Thanks again.

CWM from ROM Manager doesn't really flash. Yes flash using this method or you could have troubles in the future. Read the entire original post and you will understand why.

I have no problem getting into recovery just flashing the roms

Hey just wanted to say great work on the app. We sure have come a long way from the G1 rooting process lol. I remember rooting my G1 and doing everything manually.

[T-Mobile LG G2x] Joe333x:
Hey quick question, I'm sure its already been asked but the search function is telling me its going to be out for 20-30 minutes. When a new clockworkmod recovery comes out do we need to do the same process? I swear I remember simply using the terminal emulator app to update my recoveries on the G1 but I know every device is different.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] slickerxcuh:
to be honest i did the same thing, i flashed stock rom right after too lol!

this order should be better lol.

"Nvidia NvFlash APX Driver" section

"Flash ClockworkMod Recovery" section

"Booting into ClockworkMod Recovery" section

"Restore LG G2x Stock Recovery" section

and with "Remove the battery." I kept putting back in the battery because I thought the phone wouldn't power on. maybe you could indicate that after you remove the battery to leave it out.

^^ are you guys still using rom manager? i remember only getting those errors when i used the rom manager method.

try to follow the instructions on page 1 feel free to ask questions if you are stuck on a certain step. it is believed to be safer flashing via NVflash rather than rom manager.
