so......you only have nvflash.exe in the folder? there is no other file named nvflash? sorry, but you're not specifically answering my ?
[T-Mobile LG G2x] jdaclutch:
any actual advantage flash .2.7 over .2.4? and no one seems to like to answer my questions

"Quick question, how do i upgrade to new CWM later? Do I have to do this step again? or I can simply patch the update through the existent CWM? Or I can install update through ROM Manager later?

I also want to know if there's a way to unlock the phone for other carriers yet or not or I have to purchase an unlock code online? I'm going on my business trip to Asia(Hong Kong, Beijing, Singapore, Malaysia), so I need my phone to be unlocked in order to use it in other countries.":(
[T-Mobile LG G2x] ceas909:
the only difference Ive seen between to two recoveries is on the newer one you can use the touch keys as well as the power and vol up/down.

yes you will have to flash new recoveries through nvflash each time. this is safer then just using rom manager.

and to unlock the phone u need a unlock code.. its the only way.. so far.. maybe in the future we can find a way to unlock like some other phones...
[T-Mobile LG G2x] jdaclutch:
Thanks bud. :)
[T-Mobile LG G2x] ThC23:
ok so im getting this

fastboot.bin is not recognized as an internal or external command , operable program or batch file

Im also having problems with flash-recovery.sh

Im getting a "windows cant open file" pop up window with both of these!

Any idea of what I'm doing wrong? Thanks in advance!
[T-Mobile LG G2x] Mikey:
Extract nvflash-recovery.tgz *TWICE* until you find the 5 files inside. Place them in (or extract to) C:\G2x\NVFlash

E1108_Hynix_512MB_H8TBR00U0MLR-0DM_300MHz_final_emmc_x8.bct fastboot.bin flash-recovery.sh nvflash recovery-star-test2.img

If i was you, reread the OP more then once...........before proceeding

This is not something to mess with if you overlook simple instructions in post 1 ;)

NVFlash can/will/ brick your phone ;)
[T-Mobile LG G2x] ThC23:
Yes I did do this! So not sure whats going on!
[T-Mobile LG G2x] aquariumdrinker:
No love on Windows 7 64-bit. Successfully installed the drivers, but Windows' subsequent recognition of the device was hit-or-miss. Even when Device Manager was showing "NVIDIA USB Boot-recovery driver for mobile devices", I was not able to get CWM onto the phone. The error message had something to do with miniloader.

(Not the first USB weirdness I've had on that machine with this phone. Adobe Lightroom crashes if I try to import photos from the internal memory. It has no problem importing the same photos from the SD card.)

Success in under 3 minutes from my Vista 32-bit laptop using the same USB cord.

Now Imma go get some of that bird blood the kids are always going on about.

i want to update recovery 2.4 so i installed cwm app and installed fake recovery, now when i look for the .img in the clockworkmod folder there are only recovery-clockwork-3.0.2.7-p999.zip file do i need to rename to .img
[T-Mobile LG G2x] pychobj2001:
I already figured this out by reading like 3 different guides so i'm glad you put it all together in one thread, sticky this indeed, or atleast put it in the bible too! thanks! i might need it in the future for kernels or something...thanks
[T-Mobile LG G2x] ThC23:
So can anyone help?

So I download /extracted everything! I doubled check to see everything was there! Move everything to C drive!

Installed drivers,

Go to window, typed g2x/nvflash and then I go paste code and those are the errors I'm getting!

Maybe I'll just call it a night and start over tomorrow! Similar situation happened while rooting and next morning it was all good!

But if anyone has an idea of whats going on please feel free to comment!

By the way after putting battery back in and turning phone on it went to the screen with the box and the arrow took like 2 mins to turn on and it reset my phone!

I'm glad I didn't brick!
[T-Mobile LG G2x] tenbeau:
I followed the directions in the OP to the letter and all seems to have gone well and installed smoothly and completely. I held volume down and power until the CW recovery came up, and all seems correct to this point. I just have one question, when the CWM recovery screen comes on and I select REboot system and if I just push the power button and do not hold it down the screen just goes black and the unit is powered off but if I hold it down until I see the Lg screen again the system boots back up. I wonder if the unit is just powering back up because I have held the power button in and not because it is being controlled by CWM recovery. Have I done something wrong? Any one else have this happen? Any and all replies are greatly appreciated!!!!!:confused:
[T-Mobile LG G2x] Outlaw71:
So what's the difference between this and the ClockWorkMod Recovery I flashed to create my nandroids in ROM Manager? This method seems a lot more complicated. Is it somehow better?
[T-Mobile LG G2x] ikithme:
I believe this perm installs cwr not temp installs.

Basically every time you hit boot to recovery in CWM it boots to upgrade then flashes CWR then boots to that but its loaded to RAM? So when you reboot CWR isn't there anymore.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] Outlaw71:
Ok I just read through the ROM Manager thread and found out that it is a fakeflash. So from my understanding of it now, the major difference between these two CWM recoveries is that this one actually writes to the partition on the internal memory of the phone while fakeflash writes to the SD card... is that right?

So the advantage to this recovery as I see it is that it's more secure (nandroids would be safe from problems with a corrupted SD card, etc...) than the fakeflash recovery created by ROM Manager. But otherwise, they're both basically the same thing... yes?
[T-Mobile LG G2x] ceas909:
I had no problem using my window 7 64 bit system.. and have had no issues communicating between my computer and phone...
[T-Mobile LG G2x] ceas909:
Well nvflash way is also safer (if done right) when flashing roms. Less chance of bricking your device
[T-Mobile LG G2x] KiNG OMaR:
I have a windows 7 64 bit system as well ;)

Also, can anyone provide a link to the latest CWM recovery image from the fakeflash.zip? I'll update instructions in the OP for it
[T-Mobile LG G2x] baykakes:
Wish there was a guide for Mac users
[T-Mobile LG G2x] tsquire99:
Use parallels or fusion. I used parallels with xp and it worked great. The op is all you need.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] aquariumdrinker:
Could be any of a large number of issues specific to my machine or Windows instance. Just making my contribution to the communal urinal of forum knowledge.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] cbowens:
I also ran into problems with win7 64 bit. The first night I attempted to nvflash, the recognition was hit and miss, and it always stalled out once i attempted to execute the flash in cmd. One problem I found was using a usb extension port. Upon plugging it directly into the back of the computer, my recognition problems stopped. I still couldn't get the command to execute, but then tried again the next day (without switching any files or messing with the folder organization) and it worked on the first try. I realize this doesn't exactly present a solution; just mentioning some more wierdness with win 7 64 bit.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] crazythunder:
I use nvflash on win7 pro 64 bit with no issues. Flashed many times with nvflash. Never a problem. Any problem i had was in my commands. So maybe time to wipe windows and start fresh? Usually fixes everything. But of course image your boot partition first.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] cbowens:
Who knows; other than this one incident, I'm not having any problems with my current 7 install. And like I said, it worked perfectly the next day when I tried it. Might have just been something running in the background, or maybe some lingering effect from trying to use the usb extension port.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] snp304:
ok, here is another newb question. I had originally fake flashed. Went ahead and just did the NVFlash as described here. Great tutorial and video, helped a total newb like myself do it....

anyway after completing the NVFlash, I went ahead and went into recovery by holding the volume down and power buttons. Took a while to load, had to re-enter all my google info. So, basically I assume that I just proved that the NVFlash just worked, correct? The phone is currently restoring all my applications etc...But will I still be rooted? Will I have to reset all my freezes etc in Titanium Backup?

Thanks in advance...
[T-Mobile LG G2x] Suprah:
no you didnt do it right, that sounds more like a factory reset then booting in cwm recovery. did you follow the steps to the T?
[T-Mobile LG G2x] Mikey:
The only reason we SHOULD flash the recovery this way is......

If for some reason you flash a rom, mod, or whatever and your phone boot-loops at start-up...

If you installed CWM thru RM there is NO WAY to get back into recovery mode from start up, too fix the issues.

This process allows you to reboot into recovery using the volume key and power,

too solve your issues ;)

That reason alone should be enough said about the differences ;)
[T-Mobile LG G2x] snp304:
yeah, followed the steps to a T. Just like the video, it said it was successful and gave me another command prompt. I was a wuss and waited for it. Maybe I did not boot into recovery correctly, but I held the volume down and power buttons. Is there any other way to check?
[T-Mobile LG G2x] crazythunder:
Sometimes going into taskmanager and killing adb.exe and starting over takes care of things.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] Suprah:
when you do the button combo, when LG pops up keep holding the combo til ull see a black screen with the word ANDROID will pop up then after that cwm should pop up right after
[T-Mobile LG G2x] Chance Ill:
It permanently install CWM. If you find yourself in a bootloop, you can reflash through recovery. Installing CWM through the app itself is only functional/operable through the app.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] kiddiosky:
I just installed Clockwork on my phone, but when I tried to install Eagleblood. It didn't let me choose a ROM in my internal SD.. only my external SD... is that normal?
[T-Mobile LG G2x] armkey:
i have the same problem too,than i flashed cwm 3.0.2.7 and it still doing the same thing.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] kiddiosky:
I think the REBOOT in the Clockwork, it just shutting off the phone, it doesn't actually Reboot.. that's why you have to press power again to turn it on... correct me if I'm wrong...
[T-Mobile LG G2x] armkey:
If i do reboot in fake recovery from rom manager every thing is working fine. and the touch key is working too. but when i try it on recovery than i flashed, reboot just turn off the phone and the touch key dont work.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] crazythunder:
i see alot of people having issues. maybe some are pc/driver issues. the others might be users not thoroughly reading and understanding the somewhat simple process. regardless, here's something i haven't seen anyone try. anyone with cwr fake recovery issues. maybe try flashing the test5 stock recovery? just a thought. it might get you back to normal and you can start over. also, make sure to delete the update.zip..the fake recovery from your sdcard before flashing 3.0.2.7. just trying to eliminate every possible issue and come up with a solution.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] Suprah:
Yea nvflashed version does the same for me but nothing wrong is going on. It just don't reboot by itself. Shouldn't scare you though just power it on like regularly.

Hi,when i try to flash i receive this error:

downloading bootloader -- load address: 0x108000 entry point: 0x108000

sending file: fastboot.bin

/ 1024992/1024992 bytes sent

fastboot.bin sent successfully

waiting for bootloader to initialize

bootloader downloaded successfully

failed executing command 14 NvError 0x120000

command failure: partition download failed

Why?i have the same error when i try to flash the nvflash stock rom...the phone work only in apx mode....

thank you
[T-Mobile LG G2x] buddahlou:
I have an issue hopefully I'm not the only one..... I've installed clockwork as per the op instructions all went well I can boot into recovery just fine using the buttons but when I try to do a backup it says cannot read the sd card???????
[T-Mobile LG G2x] snp304:
I'm not sure what I did wrong the first time. It all looked good on the cmd screen, showed it installed and gave me a prompt at the end. Anyway, I started from scratch and did it again and finally have success. Was able to get into Clockwork with power and volume down buttons, just finished doing a backup
[T-Mobile LG G2x] crazythunder:
did you flash test2 or 3.0.2.7? both of them gave me no trouble seeing sdcard. it seems to me the only ones having problems are the ones who never did the nvflash the first time. it's (mostly) everyone who flashed through rom manager. that's why i suggested above starting from scratch.

also, i've noticed that sometimes copying a command from this site, and then pasting it in command prompt can sometimes add a space to the command. double and triple check that.

if i was having this many issues....here's what i'd do....

i'd do everything i could to get my phone back to stock. if that means putting the rooted stock nandroid backup on internal or external sd, whatever works. i'd figure it out somehow. then i would unroot my phone. then i would hard reset. then i would system restore to before i installed the apx drivers on my pc. then i'd reboot and start from scratch. i'm that determined to get things right. and sometimes you just have to sit back by your pc and think. think about every option you have available, lay out a plan of attack in your head, then execute it. and if that fails, my very last option would be to reinstall windows. i remember when nvidia had capture drivers (wdm) for tv tuner/capture cards. sometimes no matter what i did, i couldn't get tv on my pc. reinstall windows and BAM! instantly worked. just my 2 cents
[T-Mobile LG G2x] crazythunder:
my thoughts exactly. congratulations
[T-Mobile LG G2x] CB620:
completed on first try. doing my titanium backup from my mytouch 4g and than im backing up and thhhannn im gonna try the new rom.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] KiNG OMaR:
People have only posted because they failed or have an issue :( So it's hard to get a picture of how well it actually works without some proper feedback :mad: Glad to know it worked for you :D
[T-Mobile LG G2x] ryan75:
If I do a nandroid restore of a backup I made before I used nvflash to install cwm, do I lose the ability to cold boot into recovery?
[T-Mobile LG G2x] j2eubank:
what a whacky process.. but it worked just fine.

thanks!

Updated OP with instructions to flash the optional CWM 3.0.2.7 recovery

It's optional at the moment because it's *not* an official CWM recovery and still has bugs. Also, I haven't had the time to test it, so please post your results if you feel daring :D

If your too lazy to go to the OP then here,

NOTE: You can do this *after* you have all the required files in the proper places. DO NOT perform this first, rather ONLY after you have flashed the test recovery as instructed in the OP, I don't want you to break anything.

How to flash the optional CWM 3.0.2.7 recovery:

download the optional 3.0.2.7 recovery image

extract or place recovery-clockwork-3.0.2.7-p999.img in C:\G2x\NVFlash

open command prompt

execute the following commands:

cd \
cd g2x\nvflash
nvflash.exe --bct E1108_Hynix_512MB_H8TBR00U0MLR-0DM_300MHz_final_emmc_x8.bct --bl fastboot.bin --download 5 recovery-clockwork-3.0.2.7-p999.img
[T-Mobile LG G2x] j2eubank:
I'm running it now.. will report back if I see anything strange.

So I understand this.. if I boot into recovery using the hardware keys I go to the one I flashed with nvflash like a normal recovery but if I reboot to recovery using ROM Manager or any other method from within the software I'd be running the "fake" recovery or really the update.zip one downloaded from within rom manager?? Am I anywhere near this... lol
[T-Mobile LG G2x] KiNG OMaR:
Yes sir ;) You can safely delete the update.zip once you flash using NVFlash because there's just no need for it :)

Although, I'm not sure if booting into recovery from ROM Manager will make a difference, because what ROM Manager did was boot into the stock recovery which then flashed the update.zip automatically. After using NVFlash there is no stock recovery left to automatically flash the update.zip.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] j2eubank:
I removed the update.zip.. I didn't try a ROM Manager reboot to recovery but a "reboot recovery" cmd in the terminal just rebooted the phone. Basically I'm just curious if there is a path to recovery without a power off.. anyone know?

Update - Even an adb reboot recovery just reboots the phone... hmmm..

Err... reading is my friend.. it's all explained here
[T-Mobile LG G2x] pookeee:
crazythunder... i figured it out.. i now NVflashed my CWM..

ok so in device manager i was looking for the APX option after my first failed attempt.. that was my first problem.. the drivers were already installed on my first failed attempt to NVFlash.. so rather than starting from scratch i started from the command prompt step.. so since i got the failed installation i tried the secondary script. when i entered the script i got an error.. so upon closer inspection i notice there was a space in the secondary script in between the" EM MC... "final_em mc_x8.bct" but the file in the folder doesnt have a space and looks like this "final_emmc_x8.bct" so once i took the space away and pressed enter everything ran successfully.. again crazy thunder thx for your help....
[T-Mobile LG G2x] crazythunder:
haha lol you put a space in my name. but, see how important it is to pay attention to details. i swear i think some people speed read the guides. and after a failure on first attempt, start asking billions of questions,instead of maybe taking the time to read it once again. i'm glad you got it working though. although now there is a one click method, i think you did it the right way. because you LEARNED something. one click is fine. but in times of trouble, it's good to know alternative methods exist and how to use them.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] ceas909:
I agree with u there.. it also gets u familiar with running commands.. you never know when u may have to do things manually.. the new app is gonna make it easier to flash recoveries but may cause people issues in the future if they ever need to use command prompt...
[T-Mobile LG G2x] pookeee:
Absolutely spot on... Ive learned so much already and see knowledge Is power... but once again it makes it a little easier when you have a helpful community behind you..
[T-Mobile LG G2x] techofweb:
As per asked by jdkackley in the first post of this thread, Don't know if this helps, I also don't know if this has been covered, but in windows if you open the folder that you extract all the files to, IE: C:\g2x\nvflash, hold shift down while right clicking you get the option to "open command prompt here".

ATUL: It works. Command Prompt can be opened by this.

Thanks'

*facepalm* It's been in the OP for a while brah :p
[T-Mobile LG G2x] snp304:
ok another newbie question. I first did the fake recovery through the Rom Manager, then did this one, and I understand the reason for not using the fake recovery. Now there is a new thread for the one click CWM Recovery.

Now for the question. Is one better than the other? I think that I am finding out that since you can basically do anything you want on the Android platform that it is all about whatever is easiest for you. Is that the case? Like the Roms, right now there are not that many options, but soon enough there will be plenty, and then it is all about what you like. Am I right?

Sorry if I sound ignorant, but I am. This is all new to me. I have never done anything like this, flashing roms, back ups etc...., but am real excited about the possibilities.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] crazythunder:
is one what better than the other? using nvflash vs. the one click? the one click method is using nvflash, so it's the same thing,just "prettified",making it easier to use.

as for clockwork recovery, use 3.0.2.7 as it's newer.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] jesziex:
helP! i followed the steps exactly to flash.. but i get access denied..after i type "nvflash.exe --bct e1108_hynix_512mb_h8tbr00u0mlr_0dm_300mhz_final_emmc_x8.bct --bl fastboot.bin --download 5 recovery-star-test2.img"

x2!! Please help! just got my g2x yesterday and currently using fake flash!
[T-Mobile LG G2x] crazythunder:
did you add the quotation marks to the command or was that just for this post?
[T-Mobile LG G2x] crazythunder:
you get the same error?

don't you people see the one click method posted? or are you trying to learn the hard way?
[T-Mobile LG G2x] BayPimp:
It was just for that post im assuming. i did it without the marks and same error.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] BayPimp:
same error in one click method. access denied.

is apx listed in device manager when you plug in the phone while holding down vol. buttons? do you hear the windows device connected sound?
[T-Mobile LG G2x] jdkackley:
I am online and willing to help if anyone needs it. This really is an easy process people, don't be scared but get all your ducks in a row first. One thing i noticed when i flashed my phone is that 2 out of my 3 usb ports yielded a no flash with the flashing. And i know my commands were right cuz i copy and pasted the same one every time. So if you get an error, try a different usb port. Hope this helps. If any one needs a walk through I'm available

I'm here to help!
[T-Mobile LG G2x] jdkackley:
The first time i plugged the beast into the computer with no batt and using vol buttons, win7 64 installed all the drivers for me. I cant figure out why so many people having problems? help us help you.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] BayPimp:
Yes i followed the steps in the op and the drivers were installed successfully

[Windows Mobile] derliebewolf:
Hi All,

I searched a lot but could not find a solution, so here's what I want to do: Manually editing the 22e41977_manila file to remove the RSS reader (allready done this one) and use the newly available space to display the next two calendar entries instead of just one. I know that CHT can do that but CHT slows my device down alot. So I want to edit the homescreen by my self and cook it in the ROM.

A similar question has been asked a while ago here, but with no really helpful answer.

AFAIK CHT also edits the responsible Manila file so some one allready needs to know that :D Do you guys have any hints?

I am using the latest (2021/2) Manila from OBOE BTW...Thanks alot already!
[Windows Mobile] prabhat:
Hey mate,

I too tried to work on this and asked similar question here.

But with no luck/help yet :(.

It will be good if we can have this working.

BTW: Default Manila home does display one entry from calender but only if that is NOT FULL Day appointment :(.

Thanks.
[Windows Mobile] sharkie405:
Sounds like your best bet would be to ask in the CHT thread. A lot of the people involved in that project are more than willing explain how certain aspects of the mod are accomplished. They have helped me in out in areas like this. Just a thought :)
[Windows Mobile] derliebewolf:
Another Idea that just popped up in my mind: How about using the plain manila we have now, install CHT and modify the home layout according to this. Now backing up the respective manila file(s?) and uninstalling CHT. Afterwards replacing the manila file in the ROM or the kitchen. Could that work? Thoughts?
[Windows Mobile] prabhat:
Manila files used in CHT are very complicated and tightly coupled so we cant use part of those files :(.

We can try to look into the files (responsible for this task) of CHT and figure that out... but that is not easy :(.

Thanks.
