But why? ?? This is why xda sucks now. They lock you but don't tell you why.
[Android Apps and Games] jon-.-:
why dont you just email/pm a freaking moderator. how are users suppose to know :rolleyes:
[Android Apps and Games] Mazda:
99.9% of the time a thread is locked is because the OP either broke an XDA rule or the thread itself just got completely out of control, for example...f imembers start arguing back and forward and won't listen to warnings from the moderator then it might get locked or if members repeating keep on posting warez left and right.......BUT like jon said above, why don't you just PM the moderator that locked your thread and ask him or her...I'm sure they'll be willing to give you a reason!

Oh and XDA doesn't suck, is just a few individuals that can't read or follow rules that make it annoying for the rest of us BUT I guess every forums has it's problems....

Hey Guys,

Brand new owner of the G2x and Android for that matter ( had an iphone before)

Of course I am looking to flash some roms and see how they are. The phone is rooted, and I downloaded rom manager and flashed CWM. But now I am reading and seeing that it is safer to use NVFlash? Do I need to remove CWM or w/e before i can flash NVFlash? Do i even need NVFlash?

Thanks in advance.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] Waldano:
Rom manager flashes fake cwm. U don't need to remove it though. But u have to flash it again via nvflash. Otherwise u won't be able to root or flash any custom rom.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] GTWalling:
Delete______
[T-Mobile LG G2x] hesher:
Thanks for the replys!

Another question is:

Is this possible to do without a SD Card in the phone? If so, where do I copy the flashable zip files too on the phone?
[T-Mobile LG G2x] jamadio:
Not on the more recent CWM, you'll need a SD card.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] C0dy:
If have the latest CWM (5.2.0.0 I think?) You can flash zips by selecting Flash .zip from SD card > flash from internal SD. You can place your .zips anywhere you'd like.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] phburks:
You actually can use the rom-manager-cwm to flash roms. With the G2X, rom manager has 2 issues that I've encountered. The first is the one mentioned already: that it doesn't actually flash clockworkmod recovery to the recovery partition. The problem here is that if something goes wrong and you can't boot into android, you also won't be able to boot into cwm. As you stated, using nvflash installs cwm to the actual recovery partition so you can boot into it even if you can't boot into android.

The second problem I've had with rom manager on this phone is creating and restoring backups. The backups created with rom manager won't restore properly. It's been a while since I've used it though so maybe that's been fixed.

Either way use nvflash. It's the most reliable method for this phone and the only way to actually flash cwm to the recovery partition.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] mustangtim49:
You have to use nv flash or if you run into any problems you won't have a recovery. Nv flash is both simple and difficult. If you have any questions just email me at timothyledin@gmail.com, I will be happy to help you in any way I can. I'm a full time writer at ACS, so you can find me there also.

yes i compared the source from opensource.samsung.com and it is the exact same as the previous source that showed up and disappeared....no difference
[Epic 4G Android Development] rjdhill:
wait so does that mean we can basicly use eh17 themes and your test kernel. rodd.
[Epic 4G Android Development] runngwlf:
That does not mean that the source on the site IS EI22, it simply means the source that is listed is the same is what was previously posted and then taken down. EI22 will have to be torn apart and compared to the source to see if the source is for the EI22 build itself.

Frankly, I don't see a huge reason to do that, since there have been several phones now showing up with EI22, it is fairly safe to figure that EI22 is the official release. Either way, it's progress over what we've had, so let the fun begin!!!

Unsuccessful after converting to RFS (worked while EXT4, but would not boot)

Also, I flashed the superuser .zip that I got from the ACS recovery CWM4 thread.

This did not obtain root access.

I attempted to use the CWM3 one-click root/recovery.

Unsuccessful.

I'll try to do some more research, find out what I need to do. Otherwise, if anyone wants to offer guidance here I'll take it.

Right now, I have EI22, no root, totally stock except that I have ACS recovery and SU installed.

I have to ask. Instead of dirtying up the system with permanent root, why didn't someone have the stock user:

- dd if=/dev/block/bml7 /sdcard/zImage

...then upload those files?

We'd have less of a Frankenpackage that way, not to mention a clean copy of the stock kernel.

I only did it from ClockworkMod Recovery and I did not touch system nor put permanent root on /system. Plus, temp rooting gingerbread is impossible..

Also, boot.img is a renamed zimage and yes, extracted from bml7.

The reason why I did it this way because ClockworkMod's NANDroid backup have a proper method of extracting the file while keeping the permission structure and it a lot easier than pulling the itself. This system.img is a virgin system image. Also, I wanted to make it easy, not spend hours doing it because I am at RIT . I found the perfect balance.
[Epic 4G Android Development] :
@noobnl is it possible for crimsonflare to use an app on the market called "Samsung Odinmaker" to make an odin tar of his phone and someone can extract the modem from it.
[Epic 4G Android Development] noobnl:
No
[Epic 4G Android Development] ss4rob:
What is the story of how CrimsonFlare obtained this build? Did he just happen upon a refurb like Lonny did?

I have high hopes for this - after flashing mka's kernel (no reboots & keyboard fix) & the Fascinate GPS fix, EH17 has been very stable & smooth - my current uptime is 82 hours, heh - fingers crossed that this is AS solid, and has overscroll glow & CRT animation built in! :-)
[Epic 4G Android Development] poit:
You can't use the old tools to root or install CWM on gingebread. Try the instructions at this link:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1268037

I was already running EH17 rooted with CWM 3 when I installed this "ROM". I didn't have to reinstall CWM, in fact I didn't have to install anything but I lost SU. Reflashing SU.zip in CWM gave me SU again but not busybox. In order to install busybox you have to make room in the system partition. I did that by using ES File explorer and removing one of the game demos. Then I used busybox installer to successfully install busybox. So now I've got a fully working EI22 install with the old EH17 modem.

Thank again noobl and crimsonflare.

BTW, it has overscroll but no CRT. Also some new icons, a few minor feature changes in gallery...no major changes from EH17. wonder if the EH17 CRT and batter mod will work on this ROM?

---------- Post added at 09:07 AM ---------- Previous post was at 08:17 AM ----------

Yes.....just like Lonny
[Epic 4G Android Development] k0nane:
That's a start, then - but if it takes "hours" to do you're doing it wrong. ;) Also, taking a dd image of the stl (not adb pull /system, which I never suggested) will preserve the permissions and symlinks - as well as allowing one to restore with Odin.

So you can take your pick. I see more value in my method, you see value in yours. It's a matter of opinion. I was not hostile - however, you were, on another medium. Remember, friend, IRC is not private, and ad hom in a civilized technical discussion makes you look like an idiot, not me. Also remember that a developer giving his experience-based opinion is not "interfering". ;) So, in the future, if you have a problem with me or my content, please contact me directly, rather than venting on IRC.

[Epic 4G Android Development] mjben:
OK, you've got me here. How do you use a file explorer to remove items from the system partition if you don't have root access?
[Epic 4G Android Development] noobnl:
I was aware of that, you claimed you needed to dump the zimage and bml9

Also, you didn't know that zimage was included in the dump and claimed boot.img it in special format.

Also, you can convert the virgin system.img to a compatible format for odining instead of bickering about why I didn't dump it in your way..

Just restore nandroid backup then you can dump bml9

Why don't you do that?

thanks to everyone!!
[Epic 4G Android Development] roguejam:
Happy birthday!

Assuming you have CWM on your phone, follow the OP instructions to move the file to your sd card. Before you reboot in recovery mode, I would make sure to (1) make a Titanium Backup of your current non-system apps+data and (2) make a CWM backup of your current setup, just in case.

Once you do that, you should format data/davlik/cache (3x), convert to RFS (if necessary, pending on your ROM), restore the "gingerbreadei22" in CWM, and profit

Thank you - thank you - thank you!

I downloaded this file and installed per the instructions and have been using it all day without any issues at all - I am like a kid at christmas when it comes to playing with new toys - and I have been anxiously waiting for the Official release of GB for EPIC 4g -so, when I saw this early this morning, I coudn't resist taking it for a spin -

So far so good - 3G works great (we don't have 4G here) WIFI is fine - EH17 modum seems to work fine with this - for the most part anyway - I have seen some strange 'drop outs' happen - strong signal strenght just dissappears without moving the phone then comes back at five bars again a few seconds later - otherwise, all is good.

I have some questions - I realize it will be a while until there are roms and themes avaialble that use EI22 - but is there anything I can do without ripping out the guts of the phone to add a little 'theme sizzle" to it now? for example - how can I change the Boot animation?(It using QMG files) or is that even possible? Can I flash lock mods or something like that ? Or a light theme of some kind made for EH17? OR, do I just have to wait a bit longer until the developers have had some time to do their thing?

You can get root access by using CWM to install SU.zip. Then you can use ES file explorer to delete a bit of bloatware which gives you room to install busybox.
