I've been searching google to see if there was a NVFlash link and have been coming up short. Does anyone know how to Flash this on a Mac?
Nope, you gotta install boot camp and dual boot into Windows, or install VMware Fusion and run Windows as a virtual machine, or find someone with a PC. That's about all your options.
use rom manager
use rom manager from the market. g2x is now on the list and you can get clockwork recovery from that.

i rooted my phone with the superone click but i cant get a recovery so i can flash ROMs on my phone ??
I recommend you to ODIN one of the customize ROM or KERNEL in the development session first to get the CWM ( most of the case it was integrated to the ROM or kernel) then you can flash any ROM you want.
Or use the cwm final thread in the dev section.

Look at the Bible there is links for recovery on there.
There is one for froyo and one for GB.

Yikes dude. Just follow the many guides on the Bible... It can't get any easier than those guides. Use Odin to get CWM via Dr. Honks kernel.

It's power & vol down to get into CWM once you've flashed it. Follow the thread given by Waldano. This must be done before flashing any roms.
Is there a download mode for the g2x or is the volume buttons together the only way? Thanks for all the help guys I will post again a little later with a update

If you have already NVFlashed Clockwork Mod Recovery on the phone, you don't need a PC to flash again.
Download a good rom to a microSD card, throw it in the phone, use Clockwork to flash the zip from SD.
Or if you were smart, you would have performed a Nandroid Backup in Recovery before attempting to flash, in which you can just restore your backup and be back where you were at... which then you could download a different rom so the SD card USING the phone and attempt to reflash.
I messed up huge I flashed through rom manager that's why I can't get into cwm the phone wont do anything all it will do is go to the LG screen and the one with the little android Guy and a folder

Hello I used super one click to get root.
I installed Root Explorer.
I know I have root because I get:
#
Then I type su and get
su
But when I try to open root explorer it doesn't prompt me su permissions.
Also ROM Manager won't flash recovery either.
Can anyone point me in the right direction

Download the app 'root checker' and use that to see if you really have root.

I use the root checker and it told me that I didn't have root.
I ran Super One Click and did the test again and still the same results.
I can get to su in adb but still can use any app that requires root or flash CWM Recovery.
I am going to try the video method u sent me.
I will post results.
Hopefully I can install the Maximus Ginger ROM.

If you guys want to use the same method I did download and use this:

Delete all the space in between
Its an all in one Root and Recovery...
Hope this helps those who had the same issues as me...

ROMs wont install
Ok so now I have ran my SK4G through odin 5 times...Going on 6...
Root and Recovery work perfectly with that method...
But everytime I install a ROM I get stuck at the boot screen with my sidekick vibrating and restarting....
Everywhere I read it talks about the Mounts... Yes I know they are very important...
So I make sure they are what they are supposed to be when flashing the ROM...
But once the ROMs install it reboots automatically and I cant change the mounts...
I have tried both Smooth Maximus and Maximus Ginger, Lightning ROM, and Clean Fusion...
The same thing happens to me after I install any of these ROMs....
It always reboots after the installation...
Has anyone ran into this issue or can help me figure out what to do now...
Thanks Guys
i tryed both oneclick and this way allinone i am rooted but cant ger recovery to work i get

After you use the All in One download ROM Manager.
Then Flash the SK4G Recovery through there.
For some reason you have to reboot into CWM recovery only by using ROM Manager.
If you reboot manually or through adb you are going to have to choose install packages then CWM Recovery will load.
I am still stuck with no custom ROM...
every rom that I install soft bricks my device and then I have to use odin to restore.
Does anyone know of a ROM that I can flash through odin that is nice like Smooth Maximus or Similar?
Thanks
Sent from my I727 using xda premium
y cant u run odin
No there isn't because the alternative would be to use stock recovery and that won't let you flash the other recovery.
It's like trying to format the hard drive while your using the hard drive.

Yes there is, by purchasing it through ROM manager.
Some of us use macs which doesn't support Odin. I used to run parallels but my partition got corrupted so I can't run windows anymore because the disk was a 1 time install. Long story short Odin is probably one of the easier things to use. if u can't use it than figure out how to use terminal and adb. If you follow the instructions you shouldn't have to worry about bricking your phone
Sent your phone to me and ill do it for free

Do you have to be rooted to run rom manager? Because you flash a new recovery with it. You can download from app store.

I would use NVflash to push Recovery again and go from there. I don't have Windows 7, so I'm not sure if you have to use a virtual machine or not

Just re-flash CWM, or TWRP via nvflash. No need for a VM.
