So, I tried to root this phone and I used SuperOneClick and successfuly rooted it.
Afterwards, I downloaded ROM Manager and installed the nightly 53 from Cyanogenmod 7.
I checked Wipe Data & Cache, Wipe Dalvik Cache;
Afterwards, it went to the clockwork recovery; (the orange screen) installed it successfully from the SD card;
Afterwards, Cyanogenmod didn't boot correctly and got looped so i had to pull the battery; then restarted;
it loaded correctly but welcomed me with a series of force closes;
THE PROBLEM:
1. wi-fi doesnt work; when it restarts, it resets all the accounts and settings i've worked on;
2. the orange clockwork recovery mode won't start; instead, it goes to android system recovery <3e>; at that; there are four options that i can go up and down to wipe data/factory reset and all those options
but cannot click on the option; the power button doesn't do anything; the home button makes it disappear;
3. when i go to the terminal; su doesn't work; it goes permission denied;
rom manager won't restart into flash recovery to install new nightly;
so what have i done? what do i do?
I would just like to go back to stock;
Why don't you try posting this in the nightly thread or read a little. Your posting in the wrong place.

I'm guessing you won't be able to, but try turning on the phone by holding the power button and volume down. There's a chance this will take you to recovery, at which point you can wipe and re-flash.
Technically, rom manager only does a "fake" flash of cwm, so that's why it probably will not.
Otherwise, you can probably use adb somehow, but that's outside of my knowledge.
Had the same issues, but you shouldn't use nigh builds as your main rom. if you do use build 105
cm 7 gone wrong
Did you do nandroid backup? If so boot into cwm recovery and restore it ,if you didn't go here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1048274 follow the directions if you still have issues you can pm me.
If you can access ROM manager try flashing recovery
If I helped in anyway feel free to thank me
Did you install cwm using nvFlash or rom manager? If you didn't install cwm using nvFlash you will need to do that first. Using rom manager is only a "fake flash" for our phone and the recovery is only temporarily installed.

Read the nightly thread from around when 53 came out. Several people had this issue, myself included.
Solution is to just flash a different nightly on top of 53.

Ok I am new to this phone and have done a lot of reading and have already flashed 3 roms on my phone and I set up the Flash Clockworkmod Recovery the real one and not the rom manager version. For some reason I now get a Error when trying to format system to flash another Rom and when I go to wipe dalvik cache it does not even let me go into to wipe that is there something I'm missing I have not see this problem with no one else.
Are you shouting down your phone and turning it back on holding power+volume down. Don't use rom manager to reboot to recovery it may be taking you to the fake cwm on your memory card.

Perhaps try re flashing cwm with nvflash

It's weird the only way I'm able to flash a rom is when I go into rom manager and I go to backup rom through there.
It sounds like the real recovery didn't flash. Make sure you install the apx drivers correctly and check in device manager that your pc sees the phone.

Follow this topic you might have installed an older version I believe the first few we had did that. Make sure you shut down and use (power+volume down) to get to cement it is much safer.
Also are you try the factor reset in cwm or trying to do the advanced- format system. The advanced- format system requires you to first mount the system to do so.

Guys, i hope you can help again.
im rooted, running ics by entropy, but i have this annoying issue.
Every time i go to cwm to flash something like beats audio or another modem, i cant get back to my main rom, just keeps rebooting into cwm and even if i select reboot now, just boots again into cwm.
Its annoying because every time i want to install something i have to reinstall the rom from zero.
maybe im missing an application or something.
hope you can help me out.
I too have had this happen, but only when I use adb to reboot into CWM recovery by sending an "adb reboot recovery" to get into recovery. I can make that happen every time, so when running this ICS kernel / recovery, I'm careful to only use the extended power menu or the phone buttons to get to recovery.
Once it happens, the only way to fix in this situation is to re-flash the rom.
Just curious, how are you going into recovery?

Probably related to the same bug in that particular recovery. I may flash CM9 in a little bit to see if I can reproduce that by going from the Rom Manager app. There is an option to get to recovery in the power menu. I'm almost certain that if you use that and/or the phone buttons, you won't have the same issue.
EDIT: I just flashed CM9 to test this, and I can't get the issue to happen when going to recovery from the Rom Manager app. Seems to work like it's supposed to from there. As soon as I issue an "adb reboot recovery", though, the same thing happens: the phone will only reboot to recovery from then on and has to be re-flashed to get to a rom. To be safe with this recovery, though, I'd still suggest only using the option in the power menu or the phone buttons.
YES! I HAVE THE SAME DAMN ISSUE!
Always happens. I have to Odin back to stock then reflash CM9. I don't know how it works from power button but using Rom Manager I get stuck. I "reboot system" now and it gets to Galaxy S/CyanogenMod screen and right back into recovery.
Simple question....when this happens..have you tried taking battery out and wait abt 30=40 to 60 seconds then replace batt and just restart? This happened to me and i did this 2x and bam the rom booted up....fine

I'm considering rooting my G2x. I've downloaded Super One Click v2.3.3 and have installed the t-mobile driver.
So, I simply need to plug my phone into my computer and open SOC and click 'Root"???
What can I expect after rooting, if it works? Will I need to install a rom? Which I believe is more-or-less an operating system? If so, where do I get one?
Will there anything left on the phone?
If I need, say, an app for my contacts how will I install it on the phone?
Any help will be appreciated. I've never done this before.

You can gain access to apps that need root you can flash ROMs which the best thing and after you root your device if you didnt do a full wipe (factory reset) everything should be the same. but here is a tip back up your currwnt ROM because youll need it in case you want to get baxk to stock ROM or if a ROM you flashed didnt wprk

I don't quite understand. I thought rooting removes most things form your phone.
What is the flash rom? And how do I back up my current rom?
I've rooted the phone, I believe. I have a new app called 'Super User'. When I tab 'Super User' it only lists 'ROM Manager' which I installed. But now I'm totally lost. What would be my next step? I don't seem to have any more permissions to do anything than I did before.
James
Flashing ROM is like changing the OS version you do it after you install a Custom recovery like ClockWork Mod (CWM) you can install it using ROM Manager by clicking on flash recovery
You access the recovery menu by turning off your device then holding down the power/lock key for like 10 second untill you get two icons thr download and recovery you choose the recovery and navigate through the recovery menus using the volume up and down buttons and the power key to click on an option.
For back up you get down to back up and restore then click the power/lock to open it then choose back up and click on it now wait till the back up is done of you want to restore it click on restore instead of back up

I turned off the device then held the power/lock but the device booted normally. Now, though, when I tap ROM manager it brings up a list of what I believe are ROMs. The title bar reads "Download ROM". Should I try to bring up the recovery menu again??
I want to thank you for this assistance. I am learning.
James
Not sure what happened.
In ROM manager I chose boot to recovery or whatever that is. Now it seems to be stuck on the Android system recovery utility. I'm able to move the selection at the top betweene:
'reboot system now'
'apply sdcard:update.zip'
'wipe date/factory reset' and
'wipe cache partition'
Nothing happens when I'm on reboot system now and press the Power/Lock button .
Also on the screen:
'Finding update package...'
'Opening update package...'
'E:Can't open /cache/updatye.zip (bad)'
'Installation aborted.'
'Formatting MISC:...
It's been like this for the past 5 minutes.
Any suggestions?
James

Yes I did remove the battery and it booted.
The fact the the installation aborted isn't a problem, it's normal?
Also, I see no option that you speak of.
The only options I see are:
'reboot system now'
'apply sdcard:update.zip'
'wipe date/factory reset' and
'wipe cache partition'
I mean on the ROM Manager App the first option is flash CMW

Did you download a ROM that is made for your device ? And you install a ROM by going to 'install Zip from SD Card' then you navigate to the file you have your ROM in and you should do a full wipe if the ROM require to (factory reset and wipe cache partition) if you do so all the data on your device will be deleted (like apps and phone numbers....) but not if the data is on your SDCard, but again make sure the ROM is for your device example if you have i9100 SGS II download a ROM for i9100 SGS II not any other device

Noob with a drive to learn and in need of some help.
I attempted to install stable release of CM7 thru CWM on my rooted G2x, still stock everything, OS 2.3.4. Pre-install I backed-up current ROM, wipe data & cache and wipe dalvik cache. Rebooted into recovery and it looked as tho all was well... However, my phone wont go any further than the second "LG" boot logo, (I'm thinking is packaged in CM7). Nothing I've tried yet has fixed my situation. Not even allowing me to enter manual recovery so I can restore my back-up.
I'm hoping someone could please tell me what I did wrong? And also, what I can do to fix it?
Did you flash CWM using ROM Manager or NVflash?
If the answer isn't NVflash, you need to search the forum for that and use it. Then try to install a ROM

ive tried twrp and cwm, and both seem to have extremely bad problems on my phone. i haven't seen others have problem with their phones but mine has gone full retard. with twrp, wiping takes a super really long time and most of the time it does not wipe anything even though its says completed. it cant flash any rom either. it just immediately says failed. so i tried cwm thinking it was a twrp thing, but ive ran into the same issues. i flashed a rom thinking it had wiped (it said it had wiped) but id didnt, it just dirty flashed the rom over stock. can someone suggest what can be going wrong? :crying::crying:

In TWRP you can check -rom option in Settings menu to wipe the partitions instead of formatting them. The process will take less time.
To flash a rom try to boot into the bootloader then select Recovery mode and flash.
If you are rooted you can install TWRP via Flashify app or even with Terminal commands.
