[T-Mobile LG G2x] parkg626:
Thanks, I scoured the net earlier today and found another site. One-Click worked like a charm from that point and it is good to have Clockwork running on my G2x now. That link you posted should be the go forward choice.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] NYLUVBUG:
Thank you for the write up.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] ShatBag1105:
Works GREAT. Make sure you watch the video.

If youre having trouble installing the NVIDIA drivers make sure you click on the APX folder and install from there. Dont try to install from a subfolder like i did. I thought amd64 folder was for x64 machines lmao.

Thanks for this! Now I can flash worry free.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] TGA_Gunnman:
nope you have to point to the .inf file always in windows
[T-Mobile LG G2x] Outlaw71:
Thanks so much for your time and work put in to this, I'm happy to donate to someone as active and involved as you are in helping people out with this.

I followed the tutorial on the video and it went off perfectly. And while I'm almost positive that this is perma-flash and NOT a fake flash, I read through every post on here hoping to see that confirmed and did not see it anywhere... so for the record, this IS the flash that takes over the recovery on your internal memory and not the fake flash that gets put on your SD card... correct?

The only reason I ask is because I had done the RM fake-flash already, made a nandroid back-up and everything with it, but then read about the differences between fake flash and perma-flash and decided I needed to do the NvFlash before flashing CM nightly on my G2x. So I was on my way here to do the long, NvFlash that I'd seen on here before, and I came across your recovery method instead.

So I did installed it per your instructions, booted into the custom recovery, performed a nandroid, and booted the phone back up. It all went smoothly. Then I went into RM to rename my back-up (I like to give them names that I can remember them by), and when I clicked on 'Manage and restore Back-Ups', nothing showed up.... not the nandroid I'd originally made with RM, nor the one I'd just made using your recovery method.

So then I powered down the phone, held down the volume down and power buttons, booted in to recovery, scrolled down to 'Back-Up and Restore', went into 'Advanced Restore', and saw both of those nandroids as options... so that made me wonder, if this is the perma-flash, how did my fake-flash nandroid make it into the same folder?

Again, thanks for your time. And I apologize if my question is super elementary and I can't see the answer in front of my face.

Edit: oh and one more thing, is there a way to rename nanroids made with this recovery? Perhaps through 'Root Explorer'?
[T-Mobile LG G2x] narynan:
Hey thanks so much for getting this all set up so nicely! I just wanted to say though, that after booting into CWM using the vol down and power button method, and creating my first backup I get the following message while doing it

Right after backing up cache

No sd-ext found. Skipping backup of sd-ext.

Then it generates a good md5sum and finishes.

Hey gunman... any plans on updating this with the new ext4 support CWM? nudge...nudge. ;)

Your OneClick is much better. :)
[T-Mobile LG G2x] jerrycycle:
I just used the one click to install the ext4 cwm recovery.

I removed the rar file named recovery-clockwork-3.0.2.7-p999.img, and replaced it with the p999-ext4-external-recovery.img from inside the NV flash folder.

I renamed the new recovery (p999-ext4-external-recovery.img) to the old name (recovery-clockwork-3.0.2.7-p999.img).

Follow the same install instrution
[T-Mobile LG G2x] rizzxx7:
^ I did the same as above and it worked great
[T-Mobile LG G2x] meoshe:
So is this the only way to do clockwork recovery on this phone? The wiki over at CM says to use Rom manager. Just wondering.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] jerrycycle:
Not the only but one of the better ways. If you use rom manager and something happen where you manually need to get into recovery, you can't with rom manager installed recovery. NV flash is made for that. .
[T-Mobile LG G2x] TGA_Gunnman:
I will add ext4 support to the one-click app when I get home from work today. Until then you can just do the rename thing like they were doing.

I am going to remove support for test2 and 3.0.2.7.

I will add support for ext4 internal and external SD.

Just read the OP, its all in there. Who What When How and Why
[T-Mobile LG G2x] xsteven77x:
Got the drivers installed, using win7 x64, followed all directions exactly. Windows just keeps telling me "cannot find driver for device" when i go into device manager under apx, even though i'm pointing it to the extracted folder, apx, amd64. GRRR. And yes all the regular drivers installed successfully.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] xsteven77x:
Redownloaded all the drivers, redownloaded this .rar file, and still the same thing. After reading all million pages, it seems no one else has this problem :( Maybe i need to install xp mode and try through that?? Someone please help me!!!!!
[T-Mobile LG G2x] skyhigh2004:
+1 worked like a charm for me.

Sent from my G2x
[T-Mobile LG G2x] schmit:
Seriously? I have win7 x64.. and it went off w/o a hitch.. twice. You're following the directions EXACTLY? Over 90% of the time when someone has a prob, it's because they are not following the guide exactly. They are missing something very simple.

The drivers are the correct drivers. Are you holding down the correct buttons and doing so until you see APX in the device manager? If windows is indeed making that sound when it detects the device...and it indeed is is showing up in device manager with the yellow exclamation point thingamajig... then it's simple from there.. Odd!

Make sure you're reading the directions very slow and carefully.. and doing it exact. If that's verified... and the device is detected... and the result is that windows won't find the driver when you point it to the correct folder... Then I'm at a loss for words. The driver works and is detected by everyone else.

You're not pointing it to the correct folder! lol, j/k. Idk man.. That's the only thing I can think.

hahaha wish i seen this earlier but i got it i jus wanna say tgagunman ur the man n make **** look easy thanx for ur hard work!!!
[T-Mobile LG G2x] xsteven77x:
Yep followed the direction exactly. This is at least the 15th different model of android phone i have had and rooted and all the rest of that fun stuff. I am very very well versed in this. It is boggling my mind that no one else has had this problem. Crazy crazy crazy. I see the OP was updated and am going to start from scratch and try again.

But yes it shows up in device manager under apx with the yellow exclamation. I point it to the right file, yet it thinks for 1 seconds then says it can't find the driver. This does not pertain to you guys but i got so much going on in my life right now i can't handle this at the moment. Probably just gonna throw the phone up on craigslist and get something else. This is ridiculous (not in anyways xda's or OP fault).

Edit: i wish i could take a video of this and show this to you guys. It's just unreal. It makes NO SENSE AT ALL. Just downloaded the new one the the op just posted, still all f-ed up. Just keep saying windows cannot find driver even though i pointed the POS to the god dam driver 12309572309857329057342098573420597 times.

[T-Mobile LG G2x] sryan1983:
Just for s**'s and giggles, try disabling your UAC in windows 7 when you try this. It sounds like it is not popping up with the notification for you to allow it to install the driver. I may be wrong, but it's worth a shot.

[T-Mobile LG G2x] krylon360:
can I ask why you want to revert? The old one doesnt have ext4 support, so you will not be able to backup/restore any ext4 based roms.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] schmit:
And/or try another machine if you can? It's obviously the PC.. not the phone.

Don't let it get to ya man.. deal w/ the more important things in life.. your phone should be at the bottom of the list if it's already working. Then, when you least expect it.. you'll have another pc at your disposal and you can bang it out in 5min.

Can anyone help me out? Or is there anyone having this issue like me?
[T-Mobile LG G2x] vn00914361:
OK I got it. First I installed the external flash recovery, it didn't let me mount the SDcard. Now I try the internal flash recovery, IT WORKS

[T-Mobile LG G2x] vn00914361:
I can't mount the externalsd in CWM Recovery. I got this message

Error mounting /externalsd! <--- this is when I tried to "mount /externalsd"
[T-Mobile LG G2x] TGA_Gunnman:
just to clarify, are you trying to mount ext-sd file system through CWM?

If so, CWM is trying to mount a secondary partition that other phones use for apps2SD. Unless you created a secondary ext3 partition on your ExternalSD card then you will get the mount error.

If you flashed the Internal SD supported CWM then the option under mounts would be just SD. But I don't think that works right now.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] twoeleven99:
any help? i connect to my pc via usb and delete old roms and trying to install a new one but when i get on CWM the old files i thought i deleted are still there..done this 4 times any idea why? now im trying to delete via file manager and it will not delete the files on my external sd
[T-Mobile LG G2x] TGA_Gunnman:
Which CWM did you install? Internal or External Support.

Are you removing the files from both SD Cards, Internal (builtin) and External removable?
[T-Mobile LG G2x] twoeleven99:
i installed the external CWM. the files are only on the external, but i cant delete them via usb mount or file manager
[T-Mobile LG G2x] RCool007:
How long does it take to flash? I have this screen "S/W Upgrade Please wait while upgrading" for about 15 minutes now and it's still going.

Is it stuck or does it take long time?
[T-Mobile LG G2x] RCool007:
BTW, I am doing it for ExternalSD and not InternalSD and I had EB 1.0.4.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] twoeleven99:
i think after youve completed the steps and have successfully flashed the new recovery you can just unplug the usb cable from the phone
[T-Mobile LG G2x] twoeleven99:
ok i've just formatted my sd card but when i read it through a file manager the old files are still shown. =/
[T-Mobile LG G2x] vibrantcm7:
Im in the same boat here. I went through both flashing clockwork and stock rom through oneclickrecovery flasher. Once its done it says upgrading s/w please wait while upgrading, I waited about 5 mintunes unplugged the phone put the battery in, held down the vol - button plus power and I get the recovery menu buts its all red and when i let go of the buttons phone power off then goes back into bootloop??? I'm so confused with this. Flashing my Mytouch and vibrant wasnt this hard
[T-Mobile LG G2x] TGA_Gunnman:
Did you all miss step 7 on flashing CWM?

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...".

Then you can go to step 8.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] vibrantcm7:
I did pull the cord out once it said files are sent and the S/W Upgrade - Please wait while upgrading came up. put the battery in and hit the power button and the phone is still in bootloop :(
[T-Mobile LG G2x] TGA_Gunnman:
Which ROM did you flash to cause the bootloop? Or what did you flash that caused the boot loop?
[T-Mobile LG G2x] shamwow:
I always wait and then use the "PRESS ANY KEY TO EXIT" option before I pull the USB. That way I know NVFlash is finished. I'm not 100% but I think you may have pulled to early (Some files were sent successfully but not all) which could cause a boot loop.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] vibrantcm7:
I rooted the phone first then flashed with Bionix. Then I flashed back to OE Rom, everything was working beautiful till I downloaded a battery app from the market that looks like a needle gauge and after that all went to crap, phone restarted and got stuck in bootloop
[T-Mobile LG G2x] Joe333x:
I'm a little confused. If we already have CWM flashed cant we just upgrade to the new one through the CWM recovery or even a terminal emulator? Thats the way I use to update my recoveries on my G1. Also can you explain what the difference between external and internal version is? Right now when I make a nandroid it puts the files on my external sd, for that to keep happening do I need to install the external sd version of CWM? Sorry for the confusion I've just never had a phone with an internal SD so its kind of confusing me a bit. What would the previous version of CWM be considered, internal or external?
[T-Mobile LG G2x] reisaru:
Boot loop shouldn't prevent you from booting into Recovery. You can do a system wipe from there and erase the battery app, which sounds like it's what triggered your loop.

Pull your battery, then put it back in. While turning the phone on, hold VolDown until you see "A n d r o i d" in orange text.

Of course, make sure you got a full recovery flash by following the instructions in the first post EXACTLY.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] Fuzorx:
Since it thinks its a sw update there no need to root phone first? right?...
[T-Mobile LG G2x] hiko36:
Is USB mounting not working a known condition? After flashing, I could no longer mount and I know this has been mentioned elsewhere but nothing in particular to this mod. Is there a work around or am I just a plum fool?

EDIT: After a reboot, it was mounting fine again.

I will answer your 1st question. Oh wait I have if you read the OP.

Second question: external CWM uses external sd, I guess you can figure out what the internal CWM does.

Third question: Look at the second answer.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] vibrantcm7:
I did that exactly. Put the battery in volume down then power held them down together. The recovery menu comes up but its red, soon as i let go of the button phone turns off and goes back into the bootloop. The ANDROID text never comes up

[T-Mobile LG G2x] Joe333x:
Re-read OP and no where does it say that there is an alternative to your app, I'm confused Why I cant just use "#flash_image recovery /sdcard/FILENAME.img" instead of using your app, sorry I just see it kind of a pain to download a new one of your apps every time that CWM comes out with an update. Dont get me wrong I appreciate your work but your app is not the only way to flash a recovery to the phone.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] TGA_Gunnman:
Let's see, did you read this?

And this?

You know ROM Manager uses flash_image right? so if ROM manager doesn't work then its safe to say flash_image won't as well right? Especially if you read this "Flashing the custom recovery using NvFlash is the only way".

If you want to do it manually here:

Once again, Welcome to Nvidia Tegra 2

I agree with you it is a hassle. I would prefer to just use Rom Manager as well or flash_image. I hear Koush is working on a solution but can not confirm or deny it.

The version in this app is modded by Krylon.

Sry if im alittle edgy but all of these questions sometimes get to me when they don't pertain to an actual issue.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] vn00914361:
So do you have any advice for me? Which version is better, Internal or External? Yeah, it's like you said, I do have an ext3 partition. All I need to do right now is formatting it and merge it with another partition, that should solve this problem.

I'm wondering when I can actually mount both internal and external sd cards using CMW?
[T-Mobile LG G2x] legoman666:
The "reboot" option in the CWR menu doesn't work. It just turned my phone off. Other than that everything seems to work great.

[T-Mobile LG G2x] reisaru:
Out of curiosity, Gunnman, rather than make it a separate (and confusing for the nubs, as evidenced) choice between flashing CWM with support for internal memory OR external, have you considered modifying the image so that it follows the stock mount scheme of eMMC on /mnt/sdcard and externalSD on /mnt/sdcard/_ExternalSD ?
[T-Mobile LG G2x] vn00914361:
I used a card reader trying to delete the ext partition and merged it to the other partition of sd card. It didn't work. Do you have anyway to merge it back to the original state, only 1 partition on sdcard?

I said the CWR reboot option didn't work, not the option in rom manager.
