Left Vibrant, New to G2X

He all! I just my G2X today and was wondering. Is it worth rooting yet with no cusom roms available? And if so, can someone point me in the right direction to accomplish this?
I came from the Vibrant and dont know where to start.
Any help, input and direction is greatly appreciated.

Welcome to the club I was also a Vibrant owner before this.. So here is some quick info that may help save you some time searching.
If you plan on keeping the phone I would root it to get rid of unwanted apps but that is each users own opinion. If you do want to root it I would read this thread to make it easy. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1039985
Also if you want to add ClockworkMod Recovery all you need to do is get the newest version of rom manager off the market and select flash ClockworkMod Recovery and the G2X will be the third device down.
After that set back and wait for the custom roms to show up and you will be ready to have all kinds of fun
Hope that helps *some*

uhm. I thought clockwork wasn't ready for us thru rom manager yet?
has it been updated?

So that means that we can create a Nandroid Backup? or the mounted internal memory as sd card will be a problem?

I knew to just wait and it would be a easier way to get clockwork recovery on my g2x using one click root v1.7 because the latest version 1.8 didn't work.plus I heard cyanogen mod 7 is only a couple weeks away

Nevermind....found it

Well I just double checked and it still does not detect internal sd card.. Wanted to post this as soon as double checked as I was using my external. let me look through it more and I will keep you updated

Thanks for the friendly welcome and replies. Im gonna check out that link.
edit:
i downloaded all requested files. when i plug in my phone it starts to read it correctly but then i get a window saying it did not install properly. i clicked root anyway and it wont get past "waiting for phone". did i do something wrong?

Market CWM doesn't seem to work.
Works after second application/reboot.
Great news!

It appears that maybe, the drivers are for 64bit. And my windows is 32. Possibility?

Looks like the pda link did the trick. Awesomeness! I have achieved ROOT! Thank you!

Clockworkmod flashable with rom manager

I didn't see this posted but I just successfully installed clockwork with rom manager. It now shows the g2x.

I'm gonna check that out right now. Thanks for the heads up
Sent from my LG-P999

Just checked and installed cwm recovery. Good looking out.

Awesome find!...I can confirm that this works as I'm backing up my rom this very minute. Custom roms are coming very soon...
For those who are new to rom manager...
Install rom manager from the market. Choose flash clockwork recovery and choose lg g2x. That's it and your done! To get into recovery just choose boot into recovery from rom manager.

Installed just fine here. But I can't do a nandroid an error pops up say E:/ can't mount. Will this be made to read internal storage later on?

Do you have a sd card installed?

GEEEEKED
I get mine in a few days CWM going on my bros phone though in like 3 seconds. AWESOME. Thanks to all the devs on the G2X!

I can confirm too.
Flashed it, then tried booting with the reboot app instead of through rom manager, booted to 3.0.2.4 instead of 3.0.2.7, once I rebooted through rom manager it wrote the recovery and then booted to 3.0.2.7
So after pressing flash, boot to recovery on the first attempt through rom manager.

Anyone know if this does the update.zip fakeflash of does it do a perm recovery replacement like Chris's nvflash cwm?

The ones usually provided with other phones are usually crap anyway. I usually7 buy other headphones (provided are never good) and the sSD is usually a lower class, at least in my other phones. I usually have a decent one from previous phones anyway, or will buy if I feel they are needed. Not like they are expensive.
But what does this comment have to do with flashing recovery anyway.
Anyway, getting ready to add this. Always been an Amon_RA fan, but not sure if I will see that here.

Just checked my internal hd and there is an update.zip file so I assume this method does the fake flash.

That's why the backup didn't work. It tried to find your sd card and when it didn't see it aborted the nandroid. Once you put it in it'll backup fine.

Amon_Ra only does recoveries for phones that he has. Unfortunately he doe not have the g2x so unlikely we will see one from him.

Inspire 4g cwm and DHD ROMS..

Well just got my Inspire 4g, I went from atrix, LG thrill, then my inspire I really love it! Within 30 minutes of owning it Im rooted and running miui.us flawlessly so far.
My main question is that I see Rom manager says Desire HD can I use it still or do the two phones run on different stuff?
Also can I flash DHD roms I've read I can with an audio fix where can I find that or ...
thanks guys!

nah, i was going to let this one ride

Lol Thanks for your answer but maybe you don't understand I'm running miui with stable oc and all..My question wasn't if I could download Rom in our dev section I was asking if rom manager worked with flashing on phones I would like to make something if it doesn't work on our phone .
Example.
I don't know if anyone has an Acer a500 but in the market they have a premium app called Acer recovery. That APP downloads/flashes roms, recovery files, themes, kernels, fixxes, and other needs that is what I would like to do for this device.
Sorry for the confusion.

rom manager works just fine....even my rom is in there.

Yea I just seen that sorry I'm new to inspire but I'd like to create somthing that has those Roms plus these on xda but I'm sure id get shot down with the quickness since Rom manager seems to rule..

you can create whatever you like, it has been tried before, but the de-facto happens to be rom manager.
i would go out on a limb by saying that 85% of flashing is done via downloading the rom zip to the phone and booting into recovery. its kind of what people have been bred to do at this point. rom manager doesnt work well every time, so creating something unique would be a hard niche to snag

Yea I agree I use Rom manager only for a couple of roms back with the incredible but all ways wanted something else.. that I can grab links from the net. Id like to do an app that would do webhosting with updated regularly updated Roms, kernels, radios, themes you know how it is checking xda and Rom manager for stuff it gets tedious and would be great for a app that gives u everything with a push of the button of course is have to find help for such an app great idea ill start development as soon as I can.

Got to agree with PG. I even tell people that use certain rom's to avoid rom manager as it doesn't always work. As for another app of this sort, the hard part is getting the Dev to update it. Mainly sense you can't just add everything without asking permission from each of the dev for the rom, theme, kernel, ext.

devs are already on it in development section. It should be as simple as changing the ramdisk but there could be many more issues.

some of the guys are working on it in This thread.
It currently boots, however is not working as an actual recovery at this point.
you can try flashing it, but do not use it to make any backups or flash roms.

There is a modified version floating around the forums that has touch CWM working for G2X 5.8.1.3. I have backed up and restored and it gave no problems.

dont go flashing that just yet... still not 100%
mount points are screwed up, so while it might look and act working, you might be restoring your dalvik cache to /system...
just hang on a bit longer, Rusty is getting close, but he can only do so much on his own without a g2x to test it himself.
