Bricked G2x trying to install Eaglesblood HELP!

Hi everyone, Im relatively new to the whole flashing and custom rom scene. I rooted my wind mobile (Canadian carrier) LG-P999 and ran CMR before trying to flash EGB. I used the instructions on the forum post to install EGB. In the installation process however, It looked like Gapps were already installed, I installed the Gapps I was told to download here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1575199 again anyways. My phone will now not start, all that happens when I press the power button is the LG logo flashes, and then the Eaglesblood logo flashes then the phone shuts down. I have the CWM recovery file saved on my computer. Can someone help me unbrick my phone? thanks in advance, and please excuse my horrible grammar, I'm quite terrified right now.
EDIT: I messed around with my phone, and I am able to get into the Android System Recovery. Should I wipe data/factory reset? Will that solve my issues?

First get the rom you want to install on a sd card boot into recovery and wipe and install. If you factory reset it still will try and load eaglesblood. If using a cm 7 rom like eb or hellfire flash gapps right after the rom. Hope this helps

Anytime you flash rom, I recommend these steps. (Some may argue that it's over kill)
Get a Copy of Titanium Backup Pro.apk
Batch back-up all your user apps if you so wish. (These first two are optional, but I highly recommend)
Copy ROM, Kernel, and Gapps to MicroSD card. (EXTERNAL)
Boot into CWM.
Do a Wipe data/factory reset
Wipe cache partition
select advanced-->wipe dalvik cache
mounts and storage-->format /system
Install zip from sdcard (not the apply update option!)
select your ROM, flash
select you kernel, flash,
<optional, if your on March BB and depending on ROM, you may need to flash new baseband.zip, forum search for it)
select gapps, flash
Reboot!
Sometimes upon booting you made need to wait 5-10min for phone to come up and be speedy. Be patient.
Hope some of this helps since your able to boot into CWM, which means your not bricked, yet. I;ve been there in a loop, called it soft bricked. Performed all of the above steps, never had the problem occur since. I jump between two GB 2.3.7 ROMS and two ICS ROMs with ease.

[Q] Problem with S'perience ROM - Loses root when I install

I'd post a reply to the official thread, but I still can't as of now due to low number of posts.
So I downloaded S'perience ROM from here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1888350
Then I tried flashing it as needed. The phone restarts and voila, S'perience. However, I found out that I had lost my root.
Busy Box is installed, but when I checked via Root Checker, it told me that some SU binaries are not present, therefore my phone has lost root.
I tried rerooting my phone and flashing S'perience three times, but the same thing happen. Yeah, I did the usual factory rest, cache and data wipe, etc, and I have no idea why my phone loses root when I flash this ROM.
Can anyone help me?

I just contacted the author of that ROM.
Hopefully they'll be able to help you out

So I just flash this right after I flash S'perience, right?
Thank you so much for your replies!

Okay, so I finally installed S'perience on my LWW. And for the sake of comparison and exploration, I'm trying out Hyperbeam.
So I did the following:
1. flashed .58 firmware,
2. unlocked bootloader
3. installed Rage Kernel
4. CWM
5. wipded data (factory reset)
6. wiped cache
7. wiped dalvik cache
8. flashed base ROM (Hyperbeam)
9. flashed patch
10. flashed lockscreen
Then reboot.
Now, my phone's undergoing bootloop for a good fifteen minutes. And it's still continuing as I type this. Anything I did wrong?
Thank you so much in advance.

CleanRom 6 R2 hanging on first boot---"Broken" root?

Hi all,
I just discovered CleanROM yesterday, and I'm trying to throw it on my S3 now. Everything installs fine, I go through all of the choices, and at the end TWRP pops up and tells my that it ppears that mt root is "broken" and asks if I want to repair permissions. I tell it 'yes', it seems to do its job, and I reboot.
After that, I have waited 20 minutes with no boot. It starts the boot animation, which is a 4-color 'X' on the screen, and nothing more. I have looked around, and people say that on first boot, there are sometimes orphan files that need to be resolved, but they said maybe 6 or 7 minutes, not 20.
Some background:
I probably rooted about a month ago in order to install CyanogenMod
I am not sure what method I used to root the phone with, mostly because I had issues from the beginning(Apparently not unheard of with the S3), but I know that I am rooted.
My bootloader is also unlocked, AFAIK, since I wouldn't have been able to instal CM10 otherwise.
I am using TWRP 2.4 as my recovery and it seems to be working wonderfully.
Process:
I boot into recovery
Choose 'Install'
Point to my download of CleanROM and follow all prompts, choosing launcher, file manager, etc.
Tell it to wipe data and cache
After the install, there is the message from TWRP telling me that root is "broken"(I think that's the term it uses), and asks me if I want to repair permissions, and I of course repair them.
After rebooting is when nothing happens. I finally pull the battery and either try again, or restre my phone so I can use it. I'm probably 0/4 at this point, I downloaded the ROM from the Dev's site, and have no problems, since it gives no errors during install.
So I guess I have three questions:
1. Can I re-root my device? Will this help, or could it frak things up worse?
2. Is there a way to fix those file permissions for good? The fix doesn't seem to be holding when I choose "repair" in TWRP.
3. Is this a ROM issue instead, and should I downgrade a version? Also, is anyone else seeing this?
Thanks in advance for any help guys! :good:

I think you are referring to the /root partition, not actually being rooted.
The problem is your order of operations. You are wiping the ROM after you install! You are supposed to wipe data/cache BEFORE you install the ROM.
This is not a ROM issue, I just installed CleanROM 6r2 and it is fast as heck and worked fine. I suggest you boot into twrp and perform the install correctly.

I wondered about that, but using TWRP in the 'Install' mode, it doesn't prompt for wipe until after(Unless I'm doing something wrong there). Just to be clear, you're just suggesting that I manually wipe first, then let TWRP and CleanROM take me through the process after that, right?
Thanks

Boot into twrp.
Hit the wipe menu.
Wipe the top four boxes
(Wipe cache
Wipe dalvik cache
Factory reset.
Wipe system.)
Install ROM
Should boot within 2 minutes tops.

[Q] Problem switching ROM

I've got viper one rom and I'm trying to install android revolution hd. I checked the md5 and installed it with TWRP, but when the phone boots and the setup begins the first thing that appears is viper tweaks (from the viper one rom) requesting root access. Once the setup is finished a message appears saying "blinkfeed has stopped working" and then I can do absolutely nothing except power off the phone.
Shouldn't viper be removed when I wipe in TWRP?
Anyone have any idea wtf is going on?

I went from nV RLS 1.1 to RLS 2, clean flash in TWRP. When it booted my same setup was on the screen with everything force closing. I went back into TWRP attempted again, and it was still messed up. Tried to restore a backup, it failed, then TWRP started crashing. I could only get into fastboot.
Anyways, you can read my post in this section. I had to go back to stock, then restore a nandroid.

I actually just downloaded and installed nV RLS 2 with no problems at all.. My problem may related to the Android Revolution HD rom itself.. I'll have try to figure it out another time.
Thanks for your help!

For anyone who's interested I was able to successfully install ARHD to my phone after doing some research. Rather than just doing the standard wipe in TWRP (it wipes delvik, cache, and data) I had to selected "advanced wipe" and wipe system in addition to delvik, cache, and data. I believe this had to do with the htc build version on the phone being outdated but I'm not 100% sure.

+1. I always use advanced wipe in TWRP, and wipe as you indicated. I'm thinking everyone posting here should also indicate which version of TWRP you are using, as that may be an issue as well.

Yes that's a good idea! I've just added TWRP version (2702) to my signature

Bootloop, no matter what ROM

I decided recently, with the release of towelroot, to root my Transformer. I was having performance problems since the Jellybean update, but the optimizations I installed improved it. There was still some lag though, so I tried to flash a Cyanogenmod 11 nightly. There were no errors from CWM, but the tablet stalked at the bout animation. I tried an OmniROM homemade, same story. I flashed the newest OmniROM nightly, the GApps package listed on the OmniROM thread on here, and the US_epad-user-10.6.1.27.5 kernel, no soap. I can get Windows to detect the tablet when CWM is in sideload mode, but fastboot never connects, so I can't flash another recovery.

What version of CWM you are using ?
Maybe you should update it via a flashable zip (no need to pc)
And a good advise, always wipe cache & dalvik cache after flashing rom and before reboot.

I'm using 6.0.4.7. I've been using a jump drive plugged into the dock to load ROMs, so I haven't connected directly to the computer for a while. I've wiped cache and dalvik before flashing nearly every time, and after several times.

Ok if you still have the OmniROM image, try to flash it exactly as follow :
1- Wipe system, data, cache and dalvik cache
2- install OmniRom
3- install gapps
4- install kernel
5- wipe again cache and dalvik cache before reboot
6- reboot
Download links for latest gapps and kernel are in my signature (Geass is the best kernel IMO)

OK, I'll give it a shot. Probably ten minutes.

Whenever I try to format /data, it says Error mounting /data! Would this be part of the trouble, perhaps?

It's all flashed, but it looks like it hung up during the boot sequence again. I'll let it sit a while longer, and see what happens.

OK, it did absolutely nothing. I haven't worked on it for a while, because between work and the rest of life, I haven't really needed it. It is the same state, though.

Look up buster99's fix. I think that is what you need to do next.
