i dont know what im doing wrong but last week i could install gingerbread with no issues other than the market. because of the market issue i use NVflash to go back to square 1 and start over. so i installed VEGAn 5.1.1 with no problems. after about a day i was reading up on other gingerbread roms so i went to try one and it would install but never finish booting. so i nandroid back to were i was and try the rom i had before with the market issues, that one didnt work either.
what am i missing?
ps i cant get logcat to read any farther than from recovery.
in recovery logcat says "/sbin/sh: logcat: not found"
[solved] got it ^.^
ok dont know what the [email protected]# i did but i got it working.
for any of you that care on how it started working its going to be a long post.
basically on my quest to fix this damn thing i decided to use nvflash which didnt work the first 5 times, so i used the original recovery image rather than the rooted one. that semi-bricked it so it would only boot into APX mode. so after an hour of searching XDA i just flashed the enhanced image (like in the guide on the dev forum) and holy crap it worked and installed VEGAn 7 without updating.
dont know how it fixed it but it did.
Mods can you please delete this thread
I flashed to both versions listed on http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1092021 and am seeing the same issues with both.
The time is 4 hours off, I can uncheck auto-time and check it again and the time will be correct for maybe 5-10 min before returning to 4 hours later.
Everytime I try to download apps through the market, I get "Application Name" could not be downloaded due to an error. This is true regardless of wifi vs hspa.
With the pure stock version, superuser is still installed. Should I have unrooted it before attempting this? I simply followed the directions listed on that post.
Flash the original firmware located in Entropy's Ultimate unbrick thread uckd5. That version is pure stock that is not already rooted. To be safe use the included pit file.

The time thing is a modem issue. The time worked fine when I used the newer gingerbread leak for a few days.

Can you clarify what you mean by a modem issue? Sorry I'm a total noob. I tried GTG's ultimate unbrick and the clock is still off. Market works, but it also worked for about 5-10 min after I flashed it last time.
Thanks for the help so far, hopefully I can get this sorted out.
Also if anyone can suggest a solid GB rom with working activesync/SSL I'd be pretty happy. I tried the most recent Infused, but I really need to be able to sync my corporate email and that isn't possible with Infused.
Edit: Fixed time by checking and unchecking automatic time and it looks like the proper time is staying. Also, the market is also working just fine! Thanks for all the help! Still open to some custom rom suggestions
Edit 2: I'm a liar, rebooted the phone to test and it reboots with the improper time :-\ Market still works on reboot though
Installed Infused 1.6.0 just to have something working on my phone, but that also failed to fix the time. (My phone == my alarm clock, so this has been more than a bit annoying)
Thanks for the continued help!
Not sure if bumping is frowned upon, feel free to yell at me if it is, but I could still use some help!

Flashed to KI3 and now the clock works, thanks for the tip on the modem.
Good Morning XDA!
I've been a lurker on these forums for a while, and I've tried every ROM for the S4G that you incredible devs have released. I haven't had any issues that weren't my fault like forgetting to do something or skipping a step in the flashing process....and I'm sure that's all this issue I'm having now is.
BUT...
I just flashed Somairotevoli's Simply Simple Beta 1.5 and while reading the latest comments in that thread, saw someone had success with bhundven's new KJ6 kernel. I went ahead and flashed that, as well and now everything seems to be running just fine EXCEPT..I keep getting a force close window that says
The process android.process.acore has stopped unexpectedly. Please try again.
Can anyone tell me if I did something wrong when flashing through CWM? I was going to post in the Android Dev section, but I don't have enough posts.
Thanks in advance!
That's an issue with my beta. looking into it.

I really appreciate all your work, man. It's not causing anything major, I don't think..just random popup. But the new update looks and runs GREAT! Thanks again!
Weird thing is I thought it was gone as I can't reproduce it. if I flash version 1.0, set it up, then flash my beta, it doesn't happen. So maybe data/factory wipe will fix it, but will have issue fixed before next final

I'll reflash and see if that works. Do you suggest flashing the KJ6 kernel again, also, or just your ROM then your beta update?
Last time, I just flashed your ROM, then beta update, then kernel.
Flash ROM, go through setup.flash update, flash kernel. That's what I did

I get the same message. My phone crashed when I rooted it and began trying to kill unwanted apps by deleting files. I reflashed with the first thing I could find that seemed close to stock, KB5, Kernel 2.6.32.9. My firmware version is 2.2.1 and since the phone is a little buggy and slightly slower under load than the stock froyo software, I'm trying to reinstall the original o.s. This will also restore any hardware acceleration that was disabled by the alternate build.
Hi everyone,
I'm sorry I'm quite new to this, and I'm afraid I've gotten myself somewhat stuck with my Nexus S. Yesterday I managed to root it, install superuser, as well as clockwork mod. Today I wanted to try a new rom and after some attempts, it seems I no longer have any working roms on my phone. After much searching with no luck, I turn to you guys for your expertise.
So I am able to see fast boot upon pressing the volume up and power buttons, and am certainly able to choose recovery and get into clockwork mod. Within clockwork mod I can mount USB storage, so I can transfer roms to the internal SD card. I've tried 3 or 4 roms, some say they install correctly, others not, and after trying to boot after any installation I simply get stuck at the google screen with the lock image at the bottom. The only things I have "deleted" is wiped the data and cache. I have no idea, but I think I may have erased the bootloader image or something else that I should not have that is required.
I have a i9020a model (non-4g model I believe), can you pleeeeeeeeeeeeeaaaassee help me!! I just want to get back to gingerbread 2.3.6, and my phone back up and running the way it was. I've become quite nervous after some searching with some saying a resistor mod is needed on the hardware!!
Your okay cause you can get into fastboot and recovery so don't worry. Maybe the rom you downloaded is not for your phone. Did you make a nandroid backup before flashing the rom? If yes then go into backup and restore from clockwork recovery to go back to stock.

If you can get to recovery, just flash the stock image FOR YOUR PHONE. Then you can go through and reroot..don't worry, you'll get the hang of it.

So my phone is not "bricked" as they say?? I'm not in big trouble?
I did not make a nandroid backup What kind of image am I looking for and how do I install it on the phone? I know my phone is of the variant i9020a, but how am unsure of how much more specific I should be looking for.
Looking at the following post: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1063664.
Should I try installing the Android 2.3.6/GRK39F/UCKF1 Radio/KA3 Bootloader option?
Choose the latest 9020a version of the FULL ROM, which is what you have already have eyes on.
I've tried installing the file I mentioned above, but I get a status 7 error when trying to install, and the install is aborted.
Could I get some more assistance please? Can anyone point me to a correct, full rom? Or perhaps I'm installing it incorrectly, could someone be so kind to outline the correct steps to a proper install?
Edit: I think the above mentioned file is for a GSM model, I'm sure I have the CDMA version.
Also, somewhat good news. I managed to install the oxygen rom, but for the 4g version and installed fine with no errors, but I have no service. What does this indicate, as I still want to restore back to a factory version (non-4g) of gingerbread 2.3.6.
What CWM version do you have? Is it 3.0.0.0?
Also, if you have no service, it's likely that you downloaded a ROM with an incorrect radio.
Edit:
If you have CWM 3.0.0.0, make sure to download the latest version, found in this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=988686 (use 5023-cyan.img). You flash this the same way you did CWM previously, though in the terminal make sure you type out the 5023-cyan.img file name.
Next, download the stock ROM from this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1063664. Simply look for your phone version, and you'll find the correct software variant.
Maybe you've fixed your phone already; if not, I hope this helps!
I wish you the best of luck. Oh, and through problems like these, you come to learn a lot more about your phone. That's what I've found, at least.
At the thread you mentioned above there is a version with a different radio, you might want to give that one a try.
You also said that you only wiped data and cache, so maybe you should do a full wipe before. Not doing that can sometimes lead to problems.

To be brief, the phone is up and running as brand new! Thank you so very much everyone. It seems the error was with CWM, as I was able to install and boot a 4g oxygen rom on my phone, I went into rom manager, and at the bottom of the list was an option to upgrade to 5.x. Installed the CWM update, wiped everything and was able to install the factory rom, no issues, and everything works just as I remember
I have most certainly learned more about my phone, and I am going to look at it as a rather stressful learning experience rather than a mistake on my part.
But a sincere thanks to everyone once again, I posted this at like 4am here and had a response within a few minutes, I was pulling my hair out haha!
Flashing to stock rom will help you out. You can get stock roms from Internet simply by searching in Google...

Got the phone from a friend of a friend.
It has the cyanogen mod on it (not sure which one)
Been using it for a few months and loved it, but now the phone is really acting weird, screen won't open/delayed etc
I would love to unroot this phone and just go back to regular stock that comes with the g2x but can't really find any good source to tell me how.
Am I screwed since I wasn't the one to root this phone?
Just figured out I have version: Cyanogenmod-7.2.0-p999
Add on:
I've tried to download the stock and I get this
Finding update package...
Opening update package...
Installing update...
Installation aborted.
Try a different cm7 rom
Sent from my LG-P999 using Tapatalk 2
In all honesty I would just flash the latest vanilla version of CM7 from get.cm. Its the most reliable ROM for this phone and way better than any stock firmware released by LG. There's tons of kernels you can flash also if you're into overclocking and undervolting like I am. However the stock cm kernel does the job.
ishoid large
I appreciate the suggestions, however it still does not relate to the more pressing problem of how I can not flash the rom. As pointed out in my first post, it comes up as
"Add on:

"
That sounds like a bad download.

It was a pretty old link, is there a link to which rom I should download for stock?
out of curiosity...did you do a full wipe (factory data reset, both caches and format /system) before trying to flash the stock rom? I believe Buru, one of the dev's for the g2x has a stock rooted 2.3.4 rom available for download in the dev section. There's a few of them out there.
If all else fails you could always check out ROM for recovery here- http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1248644&highlight=search+this+forum

I was literally about to send a post here about what you mentioned.
It appears I did have an old download.
I did indeed do a factory data reset, both caches and the delvik (forget how it's spelled) wipe.
I had then succesfully installed back to factory.
so far the only problem I notice is phone calls. it's like a broken TV + fax line noise that is very loud. Any Ideas?
What you need to do is flash the correct baseband fix from here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1776843

You my friend are amazing!!!
Now basically every now and then both on wifi and slightly when not on wifi, I can hear myself echo.
Also for some reason, when I try to video skype someone, my video does not work.
Any suggestions?
so far, glad to have this phone working better than it did before!
The video thing is kinda weird. Which rom are you running? If you're trying to run anything above gingerbread there's tons of issues with video. Mainly that it doesn't work.
The echo thing I think i've seen people mention that but I'm not sure where. I can't remember whether or not it was resolved. All I can think of is some setting somewhere and something about dual mics... yeah. That's all I got. Maybe someone else will remember.
1 more thing if anyone can help. I know I've seen it some where, but I'm not able to use wifi to make calls/send text. I know there was something I had to download but can't find it again.
