I went with the first reply and trusted the nvflasher. I am good. I never saw the sw screen. No matter I have CWM recovery and I just flashed the root zip. So I am now rooted. Thanks for the help guys.

Yes factory reset is volume down and power.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] reisaru:
I never actually tried to use pwr+vol-dn until I'd already had CWM installed, so.. Wow. That's kind of crappy. Fortunately, looks like it worked out.

In any case, a factory reset on this device doesn't erase either the internal or external memory so, at most, all he would have lost would be his apps.

Easy recovery boot?

Im new to the G2X forum.. Im all rooted and rocking the lastest CWM 5.0.2.7

Im trying to find a method of flash into recovery with out having to power down and hold vol down + power button (lame) I know a couple of ROMs have that built-in but CM7 doesn't and thats my daily..

Is there a better way that I've yet to discover?

:)
[T-Mobile LG G2x] HECTOR-ZERONI:
I got. Thanks man!
[T-Mobile LG G2x] phburks:
Sweet! Great job!
[T-Mobile LG G2x] KiNG OMaR:
CM7 most definitely does, hold the power button, hit reboot and a menu comes up.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] not2nys:
I am almost having the same issue, too. One of my G2Xes is fine. One has a problem with mounting the internal USB storage, but is fine with the external SD card. NVFlash works with the semi-borked one. I'm going to try to reflash the stock recovery.

What's up, devs?

EDIT:

Imma leave what's up, above. However, when I reflashed back to the stock Froyo ROM, I got all of my storage mounts back. The latest CM7 nightly was the culprit, apparently.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] albertorodast2007:
Glad it worked for u, mine is a hit and miss issue... sometimes it mounts sometimes it wont, I was even able to nvflash an older CWM... still the same... oh well... nothing on life is perfect...
[T-Mobile LG G2x] sunster:
Just wanted to say thanks. Recovery works perfectly on my phone now.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] tainle:
hi

please help, I followed your instructions to root and when i got into recovery. I did the nvflash process. and once in there i download eagleblood rom and follow the step to wipe data by the direction in eagleblook rom thread. wipe data/cache/davlik and go into storage format system as well since i came from gingbread 2.3.3. so after the wipes i try to install zip from SD option but the rom zip file did not show up. i have a micrsd 16GB i used to use it for my HD2 rooted and i did format my sd and create and 2gb extension, i wonder if that affect the zip file not showing up in g2x recovery?
[T-Mobile LG G2x] shovelhead83:
I had an instance where cwr wiped my sd card. This may or may not be the case for you. Reboot to your standard rom. Use a file manager like astro, search for the eb rom in downloads. If its there, copy it, then paste it in ext sd- downloads. You should be good to go.

NVFlash / Tmo LG G2X 2.3.3 Help

OK Here goes everything:

1. I installed Net CF 2.0.50727. CHECK

2. Using Windows XP, Successfully downloaded and Installed NVFlash and One-Click, Updated Driver Successfully and shows OK in Device Manager - CHECK

3. Have Stock Unrootable LG G2X (T-mobile USA) Gingerbread 2.3.3. I bought the phone this way so I have never had root or ability to root. CHECK

4. Downloaded and installed ROM Manager from the Market, but of course found it

non-usable due to no ROOT permissions. Kept it on the device. CHECK

5. Followed the procedure in the Guide Tutorial to Flash CWM via NVFlash and had no problems sending the files to the phone. Everything seemed to be going swimmingly. Saw the S/W Updating on the phone, held the buttons in properly, pulled the USB cable when instructed to, etc. CHECK

6. Tried to boot into CWM Recovery using VOL - and Power / release - no dice. Simply boots back into stock startup. Incidentally, When Flashing I selected 5.0.2.0 (middle option).

AM I missing something?

Secondly, my goal is to boot a pre-rooted ROM with this procedure. Where should the ROM file reside until I am ready to "Flash" it this way....do I download it in advance to my SD Card or should it live on my Computer?

Please help. I feel like I'm almost there but missing a small point.

I can still boot my phone normally and it does not appear that I have suffered any other negative consequences with boot loops or anything like that....seems like something is simply missing...

Thanks

Ok, good news. After a little more reading, I realized:

When I tried to boot into CWM Recovery with VOL - / power button, I was not HOLDING long enough. I held down the buttons for a full 10 seconds and successfully booted into CWM Recovery.

Now, First step is to BACK UP my stock ROM correct? Then apply the newly rooted ROM?

I simply want a nice, stable ROOTED 2.3.3 or better. Nothing fancy. Any suggestions?
[T-Mobile LG G2x] Cooch1000:
And Now, Boot Loop

CWM Recovery - CHECK

So I obtained a Cyanomon7 ROM in ZIP from the Forums and placed it on my SD Card. I entered ReCOVERY successfully using VOL -/Power and selected the ZIP file from the UPDATE menu. It went through a process, said ok and I rebooted.

Upon Reboot, Cyanomon7 Android in Blue with an encircling Arrow on a skateboard appears, disappears, appears, disappears....continued boot loop.

How can I resolve this issue to fully load the new ROM?

Is it because I didn't wipe first?
[T-Mobile LG G2x] shovelhead83:
Always wipe or your flashes will stink.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] Cooch1000:
Still

Wiped both Caches, still get a bogus CyanogenMod 7 boot loop.

can still get into Recovery, have successfully reverted back to my Stock ROM.

Does it have something to do with my KErnel? How to I know if the ROM I am trying in ZIP format is compatible? Does it have something to do with the fact that when using 1-click NVFlash I flashed CMW 5.0.2.0 with Nandroid Only? Should I flash one of the other 2?
[T-Mobile LG G2x] tainle:
there are couple popular roms, i usually download the one with most hits for the thread lol. i am will go with the flows. I did what you did following all that step but when i try to install the rom from sd it don't show up to install :(

---------- Post added at 01:10 AM ---------- Previous post was at 12:53 AM ----------

okay i got it figure out. because i choose to flash for internal method. i realized i have to put the rom inside the internal SD which i did and it the rom is there to flash :)

---------- Post added at 01:13 AM ---------- Previous post was at 01:10 AM ----------

okay i solved my own problem :)
[T-Mobile LG G2x] Cooch1000:
Solved!

IM happy to report that after bit more trial and error, IM flashing Roms!

Thanks to TgaGunmann for the excellent walk through.... Even if it was a long walk.

I will be buying you a drink now.

Seems as though my main issues were:

Not fully wiping data before install

Making sure Cwm Recovery was "seeing" my Sd card (mount/unmount etc)

Fixing permissions prior to reboot

Having a bug free, working Rom.

IM not sure what happened to the trial of Cm7... Couldn't get past that boot loop. No problem following the directions with other trials Roms.

Peace out!

[T-Mobile LG G2x] HrtSmrt:
Hi there,

I consider myself pretty good at following directions but i'm having a problem flashing the recovery image.

I have the G2x, 2.3.3 version.

I see 'NVIDIA USB Boot-recovery driver for mobile devices' when i plug in my turned off phone with the volume buttons held down, but when i click 'Flash CMW 5.0.2.0' option the blue screen pops up but this is as far as it gets is:

Nvflash started

rcm version 0X20001

And it just hangs there. Not sure what i'm ****ing up
[T-Mobile LG G2x] albertorodast2007:
Just to be clear, are u keeping those buttons held until it finishes the process?
[T-Mobile LG G2x] HrtSmrt:
Yes, i was holding them.

The only thing i did different is, in the guide it says:

Select 'Update driver software'.

Select 'Browse my computer...'.

Select 'Let me pick...'.

Select 'Have disk'.

But when i do that it doesn't let me pick a folder, just a file.

Instead i picked 'Browse my computer...' and then just browsed to the APX folder and selected it there. That should be ok, right?

---------- Post added at 08:02 PM ---------- Previous post was at 07:52 PM ----------

Tried it again by picking the 'Have disk' method and selecting 'NvidiaUsb' in the APX folder and it still hangs after

Nvflash started

rcm version 0X20001
[T-Mobile LG G2x] knowillwill:
I researched and searched for an answer. Can you install an APX driver using Windows XP. If so how?!? I get an error say that my software will not install because of the designed for windows XP logo. Being that it is not XP compatible.

Any knowledge on this?
[T-Mobile LG G2x] HrtSmrt:
Got it to work right away on my brother's computer.

May i have a question:does this process reset my phone ? ( i just want to know, so i can backup my phone before doing this)
[T-Mobile LG G2x] phburks:
No it doesn't reset your phone. It only replaces stock recovery with clockworkmod recovery. All your files will remain intact. That said, its never a bad idea to keep important files backed up just in case something goes awry.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] Lakeshow423:
So if we do this method, I don't have to do the one click root method? I could basically flash a rooted rom in CWM recovery? Or do I do the one-click method first? Trying to help my brother root his G2X? Thanks in advance!

You don't have to reinstall the driver. Click and go.

I am not able to install the Nvidia NvFlash APX Driver. I watched the video but the holding of the vol up and down the plugging in the USB cable does NOT bring up a APX device found message.

I have a Samsung captivate Galaxy S smart phone that I JUST today upgraded from android froyo 2.2 to gingerbread 2.3.5 AT&T.

Using SuperOneClick v2.3.1 did NOT root my phone..it hangs at #7 "WaitingForDevice". Then I found this post and thought I would use this CWM Flasher. NO LUCK there either.

Can you tell me how I can get my new gingerbread 2.3.5 rooted!

Are the APX drivers for the Galaxy S the same as the G2x? Perhaps try the Galaxy S forum.

Well that was just the hardest phone i ever rooted. My wife got a g2x the same time i did 2 months ago yet i traded mine for a tmobile sensation 4g. I had the tmobile g2x at the same time and rooted it immediately like it was nothing. As i said i have a sensation now but my wife knows nothing technical and would never download an update without asking me 1st cause she'd freak out so my phone must have came with 2.3.2 if thats what its called and hers 2.3.3 cause she never had an update plus i didnt and rooted the phone right out the box. But to make a long story short it was easy after i did it but it should not say in the home screen of this thread that the video is outdated and the buttons are different or something like that cause if it wasnt for that video i would of been f'd. I had no idea what in the world this hold the 2 volume buttons and wait for the screen stuff was cause i was like how in the world do i turn on a phone without a battery. As i think i mentioned it didnt say anywhere in the instructions to still keep holding the buttons while plugging in the usb cord either to get the APX driver installed. I was sitting here with the battery out like this phone is not going to turn on without a battery, so i watched the video and sure shizzle,it showed to plug in the usb cord while holding the volume buttons. after i figured it out though it is real easy but figuring it out was nuts. Id suggest everyone watch the video and you can do this as easy as makin a bowl of cereal. I swear i was holding the volume buttons and nothing would happen, then id let go and try holding power and volume down with the battery in cause i figured something was wrong with the instructions and i must have restarted the stock back up like 4x's.LOL

Hi I am just wondering if my phone comes preinstalled with Android 2.3.3 do I still need to root it?

I have an issue. When I click on "install clockwork mod 5.0.2.0", instead of it pushing the files over it give me a error message. The error message states the

nvflash.exe is not recognized as an internal or external command, operable program or batch file.

And when I hit any key it kick me out of the Oneclick program.

Should I double click the nvflasher.exe inside the Nvflash folder? I'm almost sure I shouldnt.
