You would need CWM to do this? I want an NVFlash that formats, and then flashes the 2.3.4 ROM and the stock recovery. That way, if you have the March 2012 baseband, you are a few clicks from being completely stock with the latest firmware/software.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] kesara:
You may be able to do a ADB push try this http://www.addictivetips.com/mobile/how-to-install-a-rom-to-an-android-phone-device-without-sd-card/

But CWM is the most reliable. Not sure why you would want all stock including recovery. CWM allows you to have nandroid backups which can save your day. What I have is all stock except CWM.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] jboxer:
+1 for that. Having CWM on the physical recovery partition is a potential lifesaver. It is easy and safe to flash if you follow the one click instructions. No reason to have the crap stock recovery that simply factory resets your phone and does nothing else other than flash an OTA update. If you get an OTA, which any more are unlikely after 2.3.4, you can always flash stock recovery back first just as easy as you flashed CWM. Be thankful LG never locks bootloaders and you can flash an alternate recovery to the phone.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] kesara:
yep ...

What do you know ... there is a nandroid for v21y also it seems http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1048274
[T-Mobile LG G2x] jboxer:
Yes, but a nandroid will not flash the baseband. Only an OTA, LG Update, or KDZ flash will do that.

i think i have completely bricked my phone..please help

hi,

i was referred to this post as i could not unroot my phone. after following all the steps on OP, i put the battery back in and nothing happens when i push the power button. and now my computer doesn't recognize the phone when i plug in. does this mean i have completely bricked it?

thanks

[T-Mobile LG G2x] justintheshark30:
oh lord I should have read about this more before attempting.

i could not unroot my phone and someone on another thread suggested i try this. i had already removed nvflash...i am guessing i'm screwed...
[T-Mobile LG G2x] cricketAC:
No you are not. Load the drivers on your PC, then put on stock recovery on your phone to get your phone in the shape it was when you got it the first day. I m in a hurry right now or i would have showed you the link but if you search the forum, you can find out Tgunman or something thread which shows how to.

p.S why do you wanna root your phone? Just use any custom ROM. all roms are rooted anyway.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] justintheshark30:
Hi,

I was actually trying to UNroot my phone. I have all the drivers installed on my PC but it doesn't even recognize that a device is getting connected anymore (holding up + down w/ battery out, doesn't turn on with battery in).
[T-Mobile LG G2x] jboxer:
So you were using NVFlash when something went wrong? NVFlash is the only way to brick the G2X so it is possible you have permanently bricked your phone. If it is not recognized by your computer in low level flash mode, there is nothing you can do.

Not to rub salt in the wound, but did you search the forums first? I have an unroot zip for the G2X in the develpment forum that flashes in CWM and removes root. It takes about 2 seconds to remove root properly.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] slycog:
As long as you're not messing with the fuses/device ids with nvflash the risk of 'perma bricking' is non existent. The device id can be fixed usually as well.

Most of the people who have these chronic issues simply haven't followed directions properly resulting in mishaps with the drivers... there is also a possibility of hardware incompatibility (certain cables/USB hubs).

Its almost always drivers/software problems that cause issues with detecting the g2x in nvflash mode though.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] apicia:
Try deleting the low level drivers and reinstall them. Sometimes registry cleaners actually kill any driver that has not been used in a while by deleting its registry entry. I use my laptop to connect with my car and I upload tunes/download data. One day, the laptop would not recognize the obd port. Deleted the drivers, reinstalled drivers, and it was good again.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] airnique23:
Did this method to the tee and still no result.

Prior to all this the phone was working great, was running latest Weapon rom until one night....

My battery died down, I wake up in the middle of the night to charge it, see the battery notification screen. Later that morning I remove the charger and hit the power....NOTHING. Cant boot recovery. Only get the white LG logo followed by a boot loop or battery screen.

Tried this method, proper drivers installed, phone recognizes my device, I see the cmd screen transferring the files and S/W screen on the G2X. Everything finishes and I unplug after seeing the white LG logo. Put battery back in, and still....NOTHING. Guess Im SOL :mad::confused::(

How long to hold down vol +\- after the s/w updating screen? Nothing is happening here..
[T-Mobile LG G2x] DsturbD:
you wont see anything on your phone. hold those two buttons down then on your computer go into the folder where flash.bat is and double click on that. that will open a dos window and when it is finished it will say so at the bottom of the window. when its done you can let go of the buttons and unplug your phone

[T-Mobile LG G2x] mr2000jp:
important notes i found while i was bricking and unbricking my phone repeatedly ,

first one : if you encounter random crashes while flashing , then you must know that the phone isnt getting enough power , some USB ports doesnt give enough power ,thats why you need an extra power source , which is the battery , just put the battery in after you put the phone in the flashing mode

second note , YOU DONT HAVE TO SMASH YOUR FINGERS PRESSING HARD ALL THE TIME , just push the volume up + down buttons for the first few seconds , after windows recognize it , you can let go .

im really thankful for the you who made this post , you helped soooo many people , and im one of them,

I don't have experience with tegra 2... I can't get the computer to recognize the phone needs apx drivers. I have downloaded and extracted the zip. I remove battery and hold volume buttons, but nothing happens. Phone Is on 2.3.4. I keep coming back to the fact I need to manually install apx drivers... But isn't that what I do when I extract the zip from op?? Confused.... This tegra 2 is a whole new beast. Is there anyone who can help??
[T-Mobile LG G2x] DsturbD:
the device having a tegra 2 has nothing to do with installing the drivers for the phone.

first you need to go to lg.com and download the drivers from there

http://www.lg.com/us/support-mobile/lg-LGP999

once that is installed, right click on My Computer and click Manage, then click Device Manager, then open the USB section

then once you have unzipped the NVFlash folder (no that does not install the driver) take the battery out and hold the two volume buttons down and plug your usb cable in. watch Device Manager to see if it detects your phone. it should, and if it prompts you for a driver, navigate to the APX folder where you unzipped the NVFlash folder and let it find the driver there.

once it is done you wont see anything on your phone until you start the flash process. also once your pc sees your phone you dont have to hold the volume buttons in anymore but leave it plugged in to usb (obviously)

go into the nvflash folder and run the oneclickrecoveryflasher.exe file. choose which recovery you want to flash and then you will see s/w update on your phone. when the flash is done (look at the cmd window on your PC) you can unplug your phone and put the battery back in and reboot it. hold the volume down button while you hold the power button until you see the second LG logo with the purple background and let go of both buttons. your phone should boot into CWM Recovery

[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dnyanesh:
My HTC Desire is 2 months old and I am faceing a problem already. The data connection powers OFF on it's own. To start again I've to go to settings and power ON the mobile data connection. To make this process easy, I've placed the widget on my homescreen. I turn the data connection OFF sometimes when my battery is low. But when I try to turn it ON, most of the times the data connection turns ON only after 2-3 tries. This problem was from the day one. I use InsertCoin 1.1.0 now but this problem also existed on the Stock HTC unrooted ROM.

The data connection is always-on when tried on Nokia 5230.

What I want is I always-on connection and when the battery is low I should be able to turn OFF the connection and turn it back ON without fuss.

disable All Animations

use Silent Mode (with all vibration turned off)

disable Phone Locator

disable LED Notifications

disable Fast Boot(if on a Sense rom)

also, i use a program called "Bloat Freezer" (it's 99 cents on Market) to freeze any extra apps that i don't need or want running.

lastly, if i find myself using a Sense ROM for whatever reason, i use "Launcher Pro" and have Bloat Freezer freeze all Sense stuff
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] loonatik78:
To list, in order, the devices and functions that eat the most power inside a Tbolt:

The screen, just being on makes it number one. The radios, especially the LTE radio under heavy use and the CDMA radio at cell edges. The CPU, especially during lengthy write cycles to any NAND device such as the SDcard or eMMC. NAND memory, because it uses higher voltages than RAM to read and write, and takes more time. GPS, because it's a relatively high gain antenna that requires high quality class a signal amplification.

The display isn't anything you're ever going to get around. The radios can be managed through appropriate syncing schedules and avoid resource abuse apps that pointlessly hunt for data. The CPU is best managed with a well built kernel using a sysfs interface that allows custom voltages, choices of scaling governors, and parameter alterations to that scaling governor, as well as conservative garbage collection to keep memory resources as completely used as possible. NAND reads and writes can be kept to a minimum maximized through avoiding app killers, garbage apps such as system resource management apps, zip aligning your ROM, and running an IO scheduler at least as good as Deadline (most kernels do this by default, but some mods attempt to change this). GPS, contrary to the popular myth, is ONLY used when an app summons it's use. Some apps and widgets will abuse this feature and will seek a GPS lock a dozen times an hour or more.

ANY moving electronic part eats power, like vibration motors or speakers. Sound effects less so, but still, that's a a relatively large lump of power being used, and that also calls for the amplifier to be active and eating power.

Using my device as I please, without sacrificing features, usability or constant LTE connectivity, and implementing the theories above as best as I know how to do, I can run my phone OC'd to 1.57GHz for 12 to 14 hours consistently as a moderately heavy user, using nothing more than the stock battery which currently registers all of 1367 mAh's.

[HTC EVO 3D] housry23:
I've noticed this too. It is extremely annoying. I will go to my apps and choose one and the Market will force close. I have cleared data on Market and rebooted and it will work for one app and then it will do it again. I have cleared data on Market and Google Services Framework and rebooted and it again will let me update or install one app and then force close again. I thought it had something to do with TB market links, but that is not the case. I've also tried fixing permissions from recovery, but again it didn't help. I don't know if it is a problem with the latest Market release or with 2.3.4 Sense. Either way it is annoying and I hope it is fixed soon.

Install button is present. Its after I click install it goes into an infinite loading screen and never proceeds to the accept and download page. Example. I just installed wave launcher, from my paid apps list, no problems. Went to install set CPU and the issue arose, it never proceeded to accept and download. Closed market. Searched for netflix, again no problems. Went back to paid list to install sense 3.0 theme and no go.
