[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] creativedevil:
Not only it will prevent him from Flashing Stock DZ onto G2, he might even end up bricking his phone.

I have G2, rooted, used Virtuous on it with Sense, it was fantastic, but I have never been a fan of Sense ROMs in general, so went back to CyanogenMod and enjoying Gingerbread right now.

Rooting is not rocket science but it does require you to fully understand the method, if you don't, ask questions, read forums and get yourself familiar with before trying and end up bricking your phone.

How to one by one :

First thing you need is Root Access

Try this link

http://wiki.cyanogenmod.com/index.php?title=TMobile_G2:_Rooting

Or alternatively you can try the links provided by redpoint73.

Once Rooted, first thing you want to do is install ROM Manager from market, search for ROM Manager, check this link if you can't find what you are looking for.

https://market.android.com/details?id=com.koushikdutta.rommanager&feature=search_result

Once installed, open the app, give Root access to the application and Install ClockWorkMod Recovery on your phone(CMW).

Once this is installed you are almost there, between your rooted and cmw installed phone and you flash any sense rom, is to make Nandroid Backup.

Here is how to make a backup of your current/stock ROM. Boot into recovery mod, go to Advanced option, click Backup and sit back and wait for about 5 minutes, system will do a backup of your phone to the SD card. Once done, you are pretty safe, incase if you screw up something, you can go back to original and get your phone back alive.

Once you did the backup, now you can download any ROM you want, flash anything you want and enjoy. One thing you would want to know is S-On and S-Off. S-On means there is a check for the Stock ROM, if you try installing anything with is not made for your career, you will screw up your phone. Once S-Off, you can flash anything and everything available for your phone. Which means, you can install CyanogenMod, you can keep Stock, Install DZ ROM, any ROM you want.

There is a way to Check if your phone gained S-Off or not, it is explained in the link I gave you above.

That's it!!!

Happy Flashing!!! ;)

Edit : Oh by the way, you want to check out some videos available which will help you gain Root access and do other stuff with your phone at this link

[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] I AM VS4:
He is completely right! Another way this can be done is through ROM Manager and flashing a Virtous ROM with enhancements. This ROM is no different from the stock and is completely stable and I can guarantee your safety. But I do still advise setting up a back up just in case you start to not like it. I know I did because, it is to simple but it does look good! Lol :)
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Aegishua:
One thing you should worry about is your CID. If your CID isn't one of the standard HTC Vision ones then it wont let you do it unless you've rooted the phone with SuperCID.

As this is my first post and I'm therefore not allowed to be posting in the developer thread - where this would belong - I'm posting my plus version of the Oxygen 2.1.1 Rom here.

It contains the GenieWidget and Gmail as well as the Live Wallpapers from Nexus S.

Some users have requested this, I hope you'll find it here...

Hello i use rom 2.1 and i have a one question. before oxygen 2.1 i use standard froyo 2.2 and data2sd or data2ext ( i have a partition on sd card ext4 1gb ) and i want use this partition to storage app how i can do that on this rom ?
[Desire Themes and Apps] slasher-fun:
Thanks! Are you planning to update this ROM along the "official" one? (i.e. should I expect a "Oxygen 2.1.2 PLUS"?).
[Desire Themes and Apps] potter1984:
Why did you not just make a flashable Update.zip of the apps, Are you too lazy or stupid to build your own ASOP?

I can't see how taking anybodys ROM then re-releasing it with a few apps is either a good idea or even within the guide lines of the community!

You never even mentioned who Originally released the ROM.

You sir are a fraud!

Hello

I finally took the jump into trying the 4.1 beta of CM7 today, but am having problems with my camera.

I decided to downgrade, to 2.21 which was my original firmware using RSD and although the flash works, and the phone reboots it gets stuck at the Motorola Blur logo and won't boot.

I suspect I cannot go back to 2.21.

Can anyone tell me if it's possible to go back to 2.21 or if not, what is the earliest UK version of software I can restore to using RSD?

Thanks

Glen
[Defy General] welshice:
I'm not sure on the lowest, but I would reflash the .sbf file posted in the tutorial in this section

There's been an update released today so It's Beta 5.

My camera, video camera, and play back is working fine now!

Everyone on cm7 should have flashed Nordic then put cm7

[Defy General] maxroddupuy:
I have the same problem, tried to install cm7 from T-Mo rom and now it keeps rebooting, I did backup and everything before but cant stop it, any help please?!
[Defy General] sukiyaki:
I did that and got the bootloop problem. So Nordic not always work. Then i tried to flash several sbf and finally saved my mobile flashing Korean 3.4-74 Fixed SBF (http://defy-sbf.4shared.com)

then i rooted and installed without any problem cm7 beta 4 :)
[Defy General] fyrstyk:
Well I've now got CM7 working fine, but would still like to know what stock ROM I can go back to.

Any ideas?
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nemiroG1:
I am having an issue with 7.0.2 and #58 with Pershoot, where the phone boots up to the maximum 1516MHz, no matter where I have it set to. I have to go into SetCPU, and for an instant, I can see that it is sitting at 1516, and then it jumps down to where I have it set (1152). Until I go into SetCPU, I have the screen wake issues, and occasionally a reboot. Has anyone else seen this?
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] scristopher:
Hello all I just have a quick question

I have htc evo w/ cm7 on it now with no service - I am thinking about taking the phone to revol to get service with them on it- they say they have to flash it.

So my question is once they do flash it is there anyway i can get the provider programming data out of it with like bitpm/qpst/cdma workshop and edit it?

also if i make a nandroid backup before i give it to revol does that also back up the provider settings?

I'm on linux and I think the only thing available to me is bitpim but I could use a windows pc somewhere i guess.

If this is an easy question please tell me what I should be googling for, I am pretty proficient in working on these things and use to be able to do something like this a long time ago before android with hex edits and programming menus /bitpim/qpst/cdma workshop Im just not sure where to go on android yet

Much appreciated!
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] junior12155:
I flashed my evo using qpst/cdma workshop, works great and nandroid does not backup up your provider setting. I have formatted, erased did all to to the phone and the settings are always the same. After your phone had been detected by qpst, go to "START CLIENTS" and choose software download under the drop down menu and go to the backup tab and do a backup. If u make any mistakes while using qpst, U can always go back and restore the original settings.

[T-Mobile LG G2x] thisisnitwit:
I shipped out my second replacement yesterday for exchange. I got this e-mail today:

Your order is currently backordered. You will receive another notification when your order is in stock and shipped.

It looks like either 1. They took my individual concerns seriously and are specifically getting one directly from LG for me, or...2. They finally sent back all their units and are receiving a new batch ---hopefully without defects this time.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] mobilehavoc:
Will be interesting to hear how your new one is. I had 2 for a time but their build date was only 4 days apart so probably same batch. Both had reboots although I really feel it's still software and not hardware. None of the reviewers who reviewed this phone including cnet and Engadget noted any reboots and they know what they're doing but probably don't load a ton of apps on the review units.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] joser24:
Sold out everywhere. They didn't think they would because of the same launch date as sidekick
[T-Mobile LG G2x] CB620:
still some left in philly. still have some days left in my 14day grace period. but i think this one is a keeper.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] neozengar:
Just wondering, what kind of problem you had with your last g2x? The bleeding screen issues?
[T-Mobile LG G2x] Dolphinwigs:
theres still a few left here in slc, utah. in fact im the only one who has returned my g2x to that particular store at all lol 5 times! seems like other stores havent been able to sell many due to the fact all their reserves are going to returns.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] Pecata:
Just out of curiosity what store did you go to? I am also in SLC and have LCD bleeding issue and will try to exchange for a third time. How is your most recent one?
[T-Mobile LG G2x] Dolphinwigs:
the one at jordan landing. next to the new five guys burger and fries. its brand new. mine is great now. had some wifi issues but froze both my account's and wifi calling and seems to have fixed that.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] Pecata:
Thank you! I will give it a try! what is the manufacture date on yours now?
[T-Mobile LG G2x] thisisnitwit:
screen bleed and flaky wifi...and unlike most, I need wifi calling. I have almost 0 reception at my house.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] erikiksaz:
When you are getting these replacements, is it just the phone body that they send you? Or are you getting the whole retail packaging?
[T-Mobile LG G2x] CB620:
When I returned mine I took everything and they gave me a new unit in box.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] crazythunder:
my email say's 20 days. maybe that's for retail price only? i still have a few days left. but, i had the black status bar and saw no bleeding. mine was minimal to begin with. if it gets worse though, i'll warranty exchange it later.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] regP:
Would be nice if a new batch is coming soon. My tmo rep swears a second batch of phones will take 2 months minimum but we know how reliable info from them is.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] v8dreaming:
You guys know that the 14 days is only for being able to return it and cancel your contract, right? They phone itself has like a 1 year warranty on it.

I keep seeing so many people talking about swapping the phone out for another before their 14 days is up and it confuses me as to why the 14 days really matters just for getting a warranty exchange.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] VICosPhi:
Probably a lot of folks are hoping to get the phones exchanged within 14 days without paying shipping to tmobile (warranty exchange) plus the phones you get from tmobile are usually refurbished unlike store phones which are brand new.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] CB620:
I paid retail. I dont have a warranty
[T-Mobile LG G2x] CB620:
I paid retail and have flex pay. I was asked do I want a warranty plan for 5.99 and I said no. should I call cs and get one.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] CB620:
By time a new batch comes the sensation will be out.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] orells:
This is how it works:

If you pay $199 w/ contract then you have 14 days to return the phone for a refund less plan minutes used and restocking fee. You can exchange the phone and keep the plan but you will have to pay the difference in price or recieve a refund for the difference.

If you paid retail w/o contract or with flexpay then you have 30 days to return the phone less restocking fee, or exchange for another phone with the same difference policies.

The warranty from LG is 1 year regardless of where you got the phone from, how much you paid, and the $5.99 (soon to be $7.99 once they include a personalized version of Lookout Mobile and free express shipping) Premium Handset Protection Bundle. During this time period you can call into customer care and get an exchange of the same phone less the battery door, battery, and all accessories that came with the phone. After 3 warranty exchanges within 90 days you are eligible for an equivilent exchange. Meaning T-Mo will provide you with a list of phones that you can choose to exchange your handset with. They are supposed to be comparable to the features you have now, but rarely are. When warranty exchanging you may have to pay shipping costs, but in most cases if you raise enough hell about how it's not your fault that the phone isn't working properly they will waive that fee.

I hope this clears up some of the confusion. For the next year every G2x sold is under warranty, and LG must replace it for free...

UNLESS YOU RETURN THE PHONE WITH COSMETIC DAMAGE, WATER DAMAGE, CUSTOM ROMS OR KERNELS, THE WARRANTY SEAL IS BROKEN, ECT... BEFORE YOU WARRANTY EXCHANGE, RETURN THE PHONE TO STOCK! WIPE EVERYTHING! OR ELSE YOU WILL BE CHARGED $130 FOR OUT OF WARRANTY REPLACEMENT!

Say Thank You.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] awersF:
hope they clear out the issues.. g2x looks like an amazing phone, something i'd might save up for
[T-Mobile LG G2x] CB620:
Thats the return policy. I paid $539.99.

So if that receipt ia clear someone please explain to me. Im not paying the $5.99 insurance. So now what?

Prob have to download and zoom in.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] orells:
Ummm, I just explained that you are under factory warranty and they must replace it for free for the next year.

Did you get it from a T-Mo corporate store or a vendor i.e. Wirefly, Amazon, RU Wireless ect...
[T-Mobile LG G2x] CB620:
Bought it from a actual T-Mobile store
[T-Mobile LG G2x] orells:
Then my previous post is for you.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] CB620:
Ok so I have nothing to worry bout. Think ima take back and get a sensation. Still debating.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] crazythunder:
30 days is california only. my email say's 20 days.

Return Policy

To receive a refund or exchange, you must return the device within 20 days of the date of your purchase (30 days in California). All original contents must be undamaged and in good working condition, and you must provide your proof of purchase. All devices received as part of a promotional offer (for example, "Buy One Get One Free," etc.) must be returned and some limited edition and other devices may not be refunded or exchanged. You may also be required to pay a restocking fee.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] CB620:
To clear everything up. Just got off with T-Mobile. The rep said its 14 days in store and 20 days online purchase wise, some states 30 so for me its 14. That sucks i was gonna try and stretch it out return the g2x and even exchange for the sensation. Only way thats possible now is to just return the g2x and get a full refund and hold the money till the 8th. Jeez
[T-Mobile LG G2x] miclflores:
So do you think the screen bleed will be covered under warranty? Aside from the screen bleed and an average of 1 random reboot per day the phone is working great. I just want to be covered in case the screen bleed gets awful. Let me know what you think. Thanks.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] CB620:
t-mobile wont cover it after your grace. you will have to deal with lg.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] orells:
No sir. I live in Georgia, if you pay retail price in store it is 30 days everywhere

not sure about online, but in store is 30 days

say thank you
[T-Mobile LG G2x] orells:
Ok lets be very clear and be done,

if you call t-mo customer care and tell them about the problem with your phone, screen bleed, reboots, janky wifi they will take you through some steps and then send you another, regardless of days of ownership.

Now with instore returns you must be in your remorse period, but to call cs you're fine under warranty.

How do i know?

T-mobile rep circa 2005-2009

now online is different, i was a store rep, so ummmm google it. But in store is pretty straight forward.

Sorry about all caps, i'm at work and we type in caps.

Granted things could have changed. it may be 20 days in your state... check your reciept, without that you are stuck with it anyway.

Say thank you
[T-Mobile LG G2x] himmelhauk:
Is it really necessary to add "Say thank you" every time? haha

I too am on a waiting list for a replacement. The T-Mobile store I went to told me I couldn't exchange it anymore in store, and that it had to be through customer service. I called them, they said they had none to ship and told me to pick one up at the store and they would notate that in my account. So I went back to the store, they again told me I couldn't exchange anymore, then called customer service who told them the same as I was told, and stuck me on a waiting list. Even though I'm sure they had another one in store I could exchange for, and it's still within the 14-day buyer's remorse period, as they called it.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] CB620:
***Takes breath*** not saying what your saying is incorrect but the rep in the store said i have 14 days. which doesn't make sense comparing to the receipt because i bought outright no extension so i should have 30 days to do as i please as long as the device is in tip top shape. 14 days stands for contract extensions. i'm starting to think she didn't know what she was talking about. ill just call the store in the morning.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] CB620:
you extended your contract or bought outright?
[T-Mobile LG G2x] GavinMazey:
So when should we expect this second batch to be in stores? I have some screen bleed going on and my 14 days is over friday. Wanted to exchange for one with little to no screen bleed. If i cant find a good one ill be returning it for the sensation even know i really like this phone.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] sstang2006:
I can assure you it is 30 days in store (if you buy it at full price, if not then it is 14).

How do I know?

One day they game a hard time to exchange a phone after the 14 days in store and I had to read the purchase order contract word by word to the rep at the store to make him understand it was 30 days. At the end he exchanged it for me with a bad attitude.

I ended up pissed, filled a complaint to t-mobile. Next day I got a phone call from some big shot apologizing for the inconvenient and gave me a $25 credit into my account.

Now, online I think it is 20 days, because that what it said on the email that they send with the order confirmation.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] johnnyp500:
I ordered mine last night at 9pm eastern and it was shipped tonight so I don't know why they told you they were out but I hope my screen doesnt bleed cause otherwise sensation it is.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] CB620:
yeah cause that didn't make sense to me. why only give me 14 days when i paid retail. at any store clothes electronics its 30 days. that rep must have been new. she told me 14 days but knew i didnt change my plan or extend my contract.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] suhailtheboss:
i work in a corporate retail store, just to clairify it's 14days for discounted pricing (upgrades/newlines) and 30 days for full price purchases. (i think its different for california & florida)

also, we have not recieved any G2X's for almost a week now. The first 3 days the phone was out we received shipments everyday, but we have not gotten any more in almost a week. i am not sure as to the reasoning, but it hopefully could be because they are addressing the issues with the phone.

although thats very unlikely. haha.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] icecicle04:
Its 14 to return in store bros i just did it 30 if you call t mobile and tell them and then they might tell you to go do it but it's 14 with no problems
[T-Mobile LG G2x] johnnyp500:
I talked to Tmobile today they told me 20 days
[T-Mobile LG G2x] himmelhauk:
I just signed up for a new 2-yr contract last Thursday. It's 14 days for us contract buyers because we get it at a deep discount, whereas those like yourself that purchase it at retail price, you get the standard 30 days since you paid full price.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] CB620:
yep i have 30 days from purchase date to return or exchange for a device of equal value. ***cough cough June 8th*** ill just sale my accessories locally or on the forum for some feedback.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] thisisnitwit:
It's in the manual peeps.

If you buy it in store, you have 14 days to return, if it's over the phone you have 20 days. When I originally called I asked the rep if this resets the clock since I have to return it...he said yes....but it wouldn't be the first time I was given bad info from any company over the phone.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] overground:
Everything about the remorse period (if bought online) is contained here.

I bought online and just called customer service to replace a screen bleeder. They're doing it the normal way where I keep everything (back cover, battery, etc.) and just return the main hardware. We'll see how that goes.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] strung:
So if you exchange a bad one do you get 14 more days, right, since there is a new receipt?
[T-Mobile LG G2x] thanasisc4:
Now If I understand this properly, This is probably what I'm going to do about my phone (which has screen bleed).

So help me out here, I wanna make sure I have a cpl things straight:

1)LG's one year warranty applies no matter where or how you obtained your phone.

2)You're saying that when you deal with lg, they send you just the phone. No battery no cover etc... this obviously means that they send you a replacement BEFORE you send in your defective one, right?

If the above 2 are true then forget T-mo, I'll just go thru LG that way I can still play w my phone while waiting for a new one :p
[T-Mobile LG G2x] suhailtheboss:
so my store got in another 15 G2X's last night. Build date is 4/24-4/27 on all of them. I opened up one and it had minor backlight bleeding, but not as bad as my personal phone which is dated 4/11
