hi there don't worry you are getting this problem cuz you have given ur backup a different name .. dont change the name leave it as it is and you are ready to go ..

---------- Post added at 03:29 AM ---------- Previous post was at 03:20 AM ----------

:mad::mad::mad:

go to sd card find the clockworkmod folder and make a backup folder there and just copy ur custom rom extracted file there as it is no need to change the file name .

"clockworkmod/backup/2011-07-16.15.54.37"

ok ...

now go to rom manager and open manage and restore back ups .. select restore ..of it shows then select the folder you copied on your sd card. if it doesn't then reboot to recovery mode and from there you can go restore .

i hope it will work for you .. i know how it feels when you have a fear that if your phone's gonna be a paper weight ...

don't worry .. don't forget to back up your current rom before doing anything ok ..

god bless !!

Any wind users tried the July 15 radio firmware on the g2x?
[T-Mobile LG G2x] gursky:
Over the weekend I accidentally installed the latest Optimus 2X CM7 nightly onto my P999 and things went terribly wrong. The phone would freeze at the blue LG screen and no alternate boot options were possible. I thought I seriously broke the phone and was coming to terms with buying a new phone.

After hours of research and attempts nothing worked. I had limited success in my android recovery console but after switching machines (from OS X Parallels to an actual Windows machine) I was able to sort things out and your stock Wind ROM backup was exactly what I needed. Thank you for posting this for people like myself who confused the G2X for the Optimus 2X.

My computer cannot "see" my SD

Hi,

I am trying desperately to figure this out. I've gotten the phone to to the point where i can access the clockworkmod menus, and i have downloaded the firmware, but how do I unpack the .rar to my internal sd?

According to the research I've done, this could have something to do with USB debugging not being on. Since I can't get into the OS, i can't turn it on from the phone. Is there any way to do this through my pc? I have already tried mounting my sdcard and USB storage thru clockwork.

I'm sorry, I am a total newb. Thanks for your time.

Any thoughts, notes on differences? Battery use, signal quality and strength, does it affect wi-fi/bluetooth as well?
[T-Mobile LG G2x] hpxda:
Awesome....so how did you upgrade? Flash the T-Mobile g2x stock.....follow the official upgrade steps?

Any differences? Better battery life I hope.....my cell standby/using 3g kills the battery BIG time and also it can get hotter than stock Wind ROM
[T-Mobile LG G2x] aceofserenity:
I recommend flashing CM7, it's a lot better than what Wind gives you.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] hpxda:
Oh yes ....I'm using eagleblood's cm7 2.4.

Whatever the kernel be.......I don't get a day's battery life unlike wind's rom.

Also the phone heats up much faster (when using data) compared to wind's rom ......and I doubt it's the radio that is heating up....its the part right underneath the camera .....which where the tegra2 chipset is....I believe.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] hpxda:
Oh also another issue I've faced with EB is that the phone restarts in middle of a call and wifi is connected .......wifi off everything's good!

Also I can't seem to post in the developers sub-forum......as the above would serve better there.

Steps I needed to do this successfully (had 2 create specifically named folders, etc)

Thanks for providing the backup file of the original WIND Android 2.2.2 ROM, I had searched and searched until I found your backup file here, it enabled me to restore my WIND Optimus 2X (T-Mobile G2X) from the installation of cm-7.1.0.1-G2X which I didn't like as much as the stock WIND ROM (unbelievable but true).

I installed ClockworkMod Recovery (CWM 5.0.2.0) on my WIND Optimus 2X (T-Mobile G2X) which I used to fix my virtually bricked phone from a bad restore with ROM Manager (NEVER restore with ROM Manager!).

Here's some good information about ClockworkMod Recovery:

http://www.addictivetips.com/mobile...-and-how-to-use-it-on-android-complete-guide/

Here's how to properly install ClockworkMod Recovery (I did this successfully):

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1056847

When I followed the instructions for restoring the downloaded WindG2X backup ROM with ClockworkMod Recovery, it wouldn't install the WindG2X ROM because my external SD card didn't have the required folders for restoration by ClockworkMod Recovery until I did the following:

First, I took a formatted SD card and, with the use of an SD card reading device which the SD card was inserted in, I mounted the SD card on the Windows desktop (I used Windows 7).

Next, while the external SD card was mounted on the Windows desktop,

at the root level of the SD card

, I created a folder named: clockworkmod

Next,

inside the clockworkmod folder

, I created a folder named: backup

Next, I downloaded the WIND G2X backup file, WindG2X.rar (137.87 MB), from: www.multiupload.com/0BF6Z2FGNW (This is generously supplied by ExpFist.).

Next, I unrar'd the downloaded WIND G2X backup file into the external SD card's folder named backup. The backup folder should now contain a folder titled: 2011-07-16.54.37

Next, I safely ejected the SD card from Windows.

Next, with the battery removed from the LG Optimus 2X (T-Mobile G2X), I installed the SD card into the cell phone.

Next, I put the battery back in and put the back on.

Next, I held the volume up button down while I pressed the button on the top of the cell phone and simultaneously released them when the blue LG logo appeared on the screen and waited until the ClockworkMod Recovery v5.0.2.0 utility menu appeared.

Next, by using the volume down button, I selected Backup and Restore from the menu and pressed the button on the top of the cell phone.

Next, I selected Restore and pressed the button on the top of the cell phone.

Next, I selected the ROM image file 2011-07-16.15.54.37/ and pressed the

button on the top of the cell phone.

After the ROM image files installed, I reboooted the cell phone and it was back at the original WIND Android 2.2.2 just as it was when I first got the phone.

Question for you wind guys. Is the back of your phone black or brown?
[T-Mobile LG G2x] Andy0x2A:
I have a rooted version of the stock WIND ROM, and I am looking into putting on CM 7 or something based on GB. Why don't you like CM 7 as much as the stock WIND ROM?

based on the trouble it looks like you went through, would you recommend putting on a new ROM?
[T-Mobile LG G2x] hpxda:
I would say both! It plays well with light.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] Core Memory:
When I first tried to put a new ROM in, it got stuck at a an infinite loop boot at the blue LG logo. I thought I had bricked my phone beyond redemption but I spent many hours researching and successfully fixed the problem after which I tried a few ROMs such as WeaponG2x_28_1014 and CM-7.1.0.1. I liked WeaponG2x more than CM but both had their plusses and minuses. I noticed that the phone ran hotter and battery life was worse with CM than with the stock WIND ROM and I couldn't register my Gmail account with it. As well, I didn't like the new camera app because it wasn't as useful as the the one in the WIND ROM and I couldn't access the menu for selecting the phone's radio bands (U.S., Europe, Asia, etc.) which would be useful for enabling the phone to be used when travelling in those places. Consequently, although those ROMs were Android 2.3 (supposedly an upgrade) I decided to reinstall the WIND ROM, which also cost me more hours of my life's lessening allotment because I had to search long and hard for that too, which I found here.

If I knew what I know now, I would have first backed-up everything, including the WIND ROM, from my phone onto an SD card and a PC then installed used NVFlash to install ClockworkMod 5.0.2.0 before installing a different ROM. I've now done that which allows me to experiment with installing and using various alternative ROMs with little risk that I won't be able to easily resurrect my phone.

If you want to experiment, first do what I didn't first do, install ClockworkMod Recovery 5.0.2.0 (http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1056847), backup everything, root your phone with SuperOneClick (http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=803682), then research the various ROMs and read what others have written about their experiences before deciding what to try. Also, make sure that the ROMs you do select for installation are actually for your phone which, if it is the WIND Optimus 2x, is the same as the T-Mobile G2X which is the LGP999 (LG-P999). If you install a ROM for a different model you will probably totally and irredeemably brick your phone.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] tahahawa:
You probably didn't install gapps in cm 7. That's why no gmail.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] Core Memory:
You're correct but I didn't want alll the bloatware too. The higher temp, the worse battery life, the missing access to selecting the radio bands' region, etc., were other reasons why I didn't like CM-7.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] tahahawa:
Have you tried *#*#4636#*#*? Even if you do switch bands, the hardware doesn't support the European bands, only 1700/1900/2100. I've had great battery life on cm too. Temperature, not that warm most of the time. And there is no bloatware that I can see other than wifi calling.

[T-Mobile LG G2x] hpxda:

So how about did you get the July's baseband in your wind g2x?
[T-Mobile LG G2x] tahahawa:

[T-Mobile LG G2x] tahahawa:
Run weapon in the summer, and cm 7 in the winter :P. Winter is great for overclockers. Helps keep it cool.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] Core Memory:
I got the v21E_00.kdz file, etc., installed Virtual PC and Windows XP mode in Windows 7 Pro, installed the LG drivers, ran KDZ_FW_UPD_EN, but didn't run OneClickRecoveryFlasher because I already have ClockworkMod Recovery v5.0.2.0 installed and don't know if the OneClickRecoveryFlasher is the same thing or will cause a problem. I turned on the phone (the phone booted normally, not into a s/w upgrade screen) and plugged it in to the computer, attached the phone's USB connection in Windows XP mode, selected the kdz file in KDZ_FW_UPD and ran it. The update process began but got stuck at the beginning of the update. I exited the update and detached the phone which hadn't been affected.

I know I didn't completely follow the instructions but, after my nerve-wracking experience with my phone getting stuck in a boot loop, I am very apprehensive about messing up ClockworkMod Recovery because that might irreversibly brick my phone. Is it OK to use OneClickRecoveryFlasher on my phone now that it has ClockworkMod Recovery installed? As well, is there a way to boot into the s/w upgrade screen with ClockworkMod Recovery running or is there another way to do that without using OneClickRecoveryFlasher?
[T-Mobile LG G2x] hpxda:
Interesting ......

I didn't want to take the kdz route......considering its major risks!

Have any of you tried installing stock T-Mobile ROM and recovery and ran the LG updater? Wouldn't that technically see it as a T-Mobile P999 and push the update through?
[T-Mobile LG G2x] noobletsausecakebbq:
I did exactly that and the fail LG updater tool froze in the middle of updating. So I downloaded the official ota fb and flashed it using kdz no problem.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] calcio4life:
Yah I tried that route as well but I think the LG updater tool still reads wind baseband and then it fails the update conflict of software
[T-Mobile LG G2x] hpxda:

Tried everything .......only thing remaining is updating the baseband.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] m00nman:
I flashed it. You need to flash using the lg tool. Instructions are buried somewhere on xda. Difference? i think i have more problems with new baseband. battery life isnt better. If you are looking for good batteru life flash cm7 latest nightly + faux's latest cm7 kernel

So far the only option is kdz as there is no way to trick the LG updater.

Thank you for taking the time to post this.

I intend to return it for the Nexus S if I can't move beyond 2.2

I have just attempted to follow guides elsewhere to root & change the phone.

- CNET's guide to the Root process using SuperOneClick

- Used Clockworldmod to create a backup and suddenly found in reboot loop

- Mistakes: Thought LGP990 instead of LGP999 and I also limited permissions on the Clockworldmod & BusyBox. NVFlash does not work on Windows 7 64x for fixing bricks. I fixed mine using SmartFlash from this guide http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1008070

I will be trying again thanks to this guide, again thank you!
[T-Mobile LG G2x] tahahawa:
NVFlash DOES work on Win 7 x64. You just need the correct drivers. DO NOT use smart flash. It will kill your phone further. Just use KDZ flasher to get the T-Mobile gingerbread ROM and baseband, then restore a WIND stock ROM backup from CWM. http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1056847 should help, as well as this backup. Try this as well to repartition: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1248644.

[T-Mobile LG G2x] Core Memory:
WIND's designation of the T-Mobile G2X is Optimus 2X but it is not the same as the "other" Optimus 2 phones, it is exactly the same phone as the T-Mobile G2X which is the LG-P999 NOT the LG-P990. Do not flash anything for the Optimus 2/LG-P990 onto a WIND Optimus 2X/LG-P999 because it will cause your phone to crash and burn.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] samidi:
I'm honestly stuck at the beginning of the instructions. When he says "Decompress the archive to a folder on your SD Card", does he mean to extract it and place it in any random folder? I tried that and it wouldnt show up in the ROM loader. Can someone explain to me what to do with the files? Yes, I am a noob.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] tahahawa:
This has been resolved before. Decompress to /sdcard/clockworkmod/backup. It should have its own folder in there as well.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] samidi:
So i extract the files to a folder inside sdcard/clockworkmod/backup?

EDIT: I just tried that, but the files don't show up in clockworkmod
[T-Mobile LG G2x] tahahawa:
You have to go to backup & restore menu. So, there should be a folder in backup named whatever and it should contain all the img files.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] samidi:
Just th img files? not the .md5?
[T-Mobile LG G2x] tahahawa:
And the .md5 file as well or the restore will fail.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] samidi:
I'm new to all this, so please bear with me.

So i put the files in sdcard/clockworkmod/backup/anyfoldername

When I put the phone into recovery mode, the only option is to install zip files. Where can I select the files to upload? I'm so confused :(. Thanks for anyone who takes the time to answer.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] tahahawa:
Backup and restore menu. Are you in clockworkmod? Also make sure it's on the external sdcard or you are using a 4.x.x.x version for internal sdcard.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] samidi:
Ok, well let me explain what happened before I got to here. I bricked my optimus 2x (on wind) when trying to root it. I read some forums and how to's, and I managed to get it working again with nvflash. It's a completely different ROM and my phone won't recognize the sim. I just checked the "about phone" in settings and it says the phone model is LG-P990, even though on the back of the phone it says LG-P999DW. Is there no hope? Is my phone ruined?
[T-Mobile LG G2x] tahahawa:
Looks like you need kdz flasher as you have corrupted your baseband. Look for a guide on how to use it. If you want wind's stock ROM afterwards then restore this. Optimus 2x is the p990 the wind optimus 2x is a p999/g2x as you may have figured out.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] Core Memory:
You'll have to flash it with the T-Mobile kdz file to resurrect your phone but, if you succeed, it will have the July 15 T-Mobile baseband and T-Mobile Anroid 2.3 software and branding. You can flash a WIND ROM to rebrand it to WIND but it will always have the T-Mobile baseband until someone figures out how to flash the P999 with a WIND baseband which I haven't seen anywhere.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] samidi:
Does anyone have any experience with this? Where can I find the T-Mobile kdz file? And lastly will a wind simcard work on the T-Mobile baseband?

Tried it, no luck. For some reason it just refuses to copy the files to my device when I connect it to my pc. As soon as I click "Flash CWM 5.0.2.0" in the one click recovery flasher, I hear the usb sound, and my phone just disconnects. (note: apx driver installed properly). So I am hitting a dead end here. Can't boot into recovery, can't flash with Nvflasher.

Did you see apx in device manager? Try to start flasher bat file and post the output.

You're definitely not the first victim of Wind's stupid phone naming, I've seen some other guys solving it.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] niko_droid:
I update the APX and this is what i see in device manager right now when i plugged my phone in while holding down both volume buttons: NVIDIA USB Boot-recovery driver for Mobile devices. My troubles start here.

I downloaded 2 versions of nvflash. One, i run flash.bat. It quickly runs something, the black pop-up screen flashes, and disappears. USB sound goes off, and I no longer see the driver in device manager. The second version is the one click version. I start the oneclickrecoveryflasher.exe, press Flash CWM 5.0.2.0, get the blue screen (picture attached), hear the USB sound, and the driver disappears from the list. Pressing any key to continue simply closes the blue screen. Still boots me out of recovery.
