Hi guys! I am new in this so I apologize if this is a dumb question. I installed ClockworkMod Recovery v.3.1.0.1. and after I enter into it, when I press reboot, the phone shuts down. Is this normal? Thanks for your time!
Mine does the same since I started using the red nvflashed version, rather than the orange flashed from rom manager.

How did the new one work out for you? I did not start flashing yet, afraid of issues... (
I used the tutorial here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1056847
for the 3.1.0.1 CWM, and I flashed it with external support...it seems to do the job. I've used it to flash several roms, kernals, mods, and even used it to partition and format a new 32GB sdmicro card yesterday.
Yeah I did that too. So it works, that's all that matters!

If this is normal please let me know. Ok so just got g2x. Came with 2.3.3 installed on phone. Flashed cwm with nvflash. Installed cwm on the external part. Installed boarders tweaked rooted stock 2.3.3 rom. It flashed everything ok and now my question. I selected reboot system. It reboot then just turn completely off? I had to hold the power button and boot it up normally? Is that normal? If anybody knows if I didn't do something right let me know please.

This is what happens on my phone too! I have not noticed any problems over the last few months so I assumed its just a minor inconvenience.

It is a kernel issue. Per Krylon360 I think http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1056847 (Scroll below credits)
Krylon360's Updates to CWM 4.0.0.2 (5-24-11):
ext4 support
Internal / External SD Support
Updated 2nd Boot Logo, now no longer Blue LG
Fixed USB Mass Storage option. Now mounts to the PC when selecting.
Reboot option is due to a kernel issue. Hopefully will be able to fix with the next update.
Color Change to fix source sync issues.
Latest and greatest CWM version.
LMAO!!! skipped all over that part! Thanks for the re-read. Gave you a thanks!
Hey guys I wish my first post would be more positive but I think I've screwed the pooch. I flashed a rom for the first time yesterday (Infused v1.6.0) without a hitch and I got cocky I guess. I have rom manager, 3e recovery, root explorer all in place. Super one click to root. Well, today I tried to flash MIUI 1.1.11 and got into the red recovery screen. Wiped cache/factory reset, then wiped delvik, went to flash the rom. Now I'm stuck on the scrolling screen (I'm new so dont know the lingo too well). It says:
Installing: SDCARD:MIUI-Infuse-1.1.11.zip - Shortcut.zip
Finding update package...
Opening update package...
Installing update...
Its been there for like a half hour, with no progress showing in the bar below it. What do I do? Am I just screwed? Pleeeeeease help me I'm freakin out. Thanks guys.

Damn! you are screwed!!! go throw your phone where I can find it. LOL...I keed!
Nah you are ok. if you can get back to recovery, go to mounts and format system, then reflash miui. But why are you trying to flash an old version of Miui
I apologize in advance I'm super new to customizing. That version is the one I found first so I just went with it. By getting back to recovery do I pull the battery, then hold vol up and dwn plus power till the samsung logo? Thanks for replying so quickly.
Edit* I got back into recovery (red) and did that but it stays on the same place. Went back in to recovery (red) tried to reboot and got stuck on Samsung logo. Now back to recovery. This sucks.
I went ahead and flashed back to Infused from clockwork and everything went smooth. I would still like to get the MIUI rom so any help is greatly appreciated. I'm sure you guys have more important things to do than hold my hand through this, but if you happen to have the time it would be awesome. Thanks again!

go back to recovery and format system then flash miui, after it finishes flashing you will bootloop and again you go to recovery and reflash miui. If that doesn't help, odin back to stock http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1092021
. head over to the dev forum http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1278053 and follow those steps. MikyMike posted the lastes of miui.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1060098
Installation:
1. Place .zip onto internal SD card
2. Reboot into CWM
3. Wipe Cache
4. Wipe Data
5. Flash the ROM .zip
If your phone doesn't boot:
6. Shut down the phone
7. Reboot into CWM using 3 button
8. Flash the ROM .zip again
9. Enjoy
Known bugs:
Bluetooth is semi-working (A2DP audio skips, no sound/mic on phone calls via headsets)
No HDMI out
You'll note these two are the same bugs as CM. The two are closely related and MIUI will always have the same problems as CM (more or less). So don't ask me to fix them, if I'll fix them, when I'll fix them, when it'll be done, how many quarters go into a dollar, or any other such question.
Speaking of which, big thanks to LinuxBozo for porting CM, without which this would not be possible.
Thanks again. I clicked that link for the ROM on my phone and it took me to the mediafire site to download. Can I do it from my phone?

i have rooted my g2x several time but after i shut if off to charge at night i tuirned it on and it went straight to the cwm recovery screen i wiped it and restarted it and it went right back to it i flashed several other roms and when i went to reboot it it still rebooted to recovery screen i formated everything i new of what am i doing wrong. i had a stable rom in it and it was working for like 3 weeks before this happened . I hope someone can help me on this i love my phone and dont want to lose it.
Wrong section. This is for development. Try reflashing clockwork or redownload the rom

Did you create a nandroid back up? If you did, go into cwm > backup and restore > restore > find your orignal rom > yes
If not re-install cwm to install roms from sd card and NOT internal memory.
Follow the guides below to the letter.

At first I was like... why? Then was like ooohh.
How to fix your problem: Read, read, then read some more.
ANY problem you have has already been addressed. 99% of the time, nvflash will save you.
Now stop making multiple threads and either READ or gtfo and stop messing with your phone. If you don't have the patience to learn and read then you deserve to brick your phone.
i just nv flashed it i tryed to mount the usb from cwm recovery and it doesnt mount

I was going to post a quick reply in the actual thread, but since I'm a new member you know.... But I flashed Scott's cleanROM 4.1 earlier BEFORE he recommended using twrp recovery instead of cwm. Although I have no problems, would it be wise to download the zip file, and flash it using cwm? Would it just replace itself with the new recovery file? Would I need to delete anything after? I'm still new to root/flashing, so just want to be cautious. Thanks to any replies in advance.
Are you wanting to switch from cwm to TWRP? I just flashed the zip for twrp using cwm and it worked fine. Go for it.

Worked just fine! Flashed twrp, wiped everything, and installed a fresh cleanROM 4.1 and goodies... Everything works flawlessly! And I gotta day, cleanrom Dev edition along with over clock and forced dual core mod turns my one X into a damn monster lol. Thanks for the help guys, I'm impressed with such quick answers.

I did this as well and was up an running for a few hours. I plugged my phone in to transfer some files and now my SD card is wiped clean. I don't keep anything too important there but this is the second time this has happened. Once with CWM and now with TWRP.

There's a few threads about this and it had happened to me as well both with cwm and twrp but luckily not my entire sd card just random stuff. At this time no one seems to have a definitive answer to what causes it. I personally think it has something to do with the way the mount and un-mount of the sd card is being handled but its just a guess I have no proof that this is the case

I keep losing map data and nothing else, its very frustrating downloading a 500mb file multiple times a week. Oddly it never happened on stock rom rooted or not.
I think it has more to do with roms than anything else. I change tunes and movies out daily and never lost files on stock rom. I might return to stock for a week to test.
Ok Here is what I did:
First I flashed temesak's unofficial CM7 bulid then I couldn't access my sd card so I went to flash another rom (Hellfire's 7.2 super tweaked)
Recovery Used : CWM 5.8 Touch (Experimental)
I flashed and then I tried to reboot and then. *BOOM* Right back to the recovery screen. I tried a few more time but with the same outcome
I flashed a couple other roms like Eagle's Blood 2.3 and Weapon G2x but still had the same problem
Thinking it was my recovery I flash the 5.2 CWM and problems still there. Then I flash back a stock backup and a stock recovery thinking I just go back to stock to solve problem. NOPE i'm looking at a box with an arrow pointing at an Android.
I'm thinking I messed with something in the phone and now the command to set to boot normally is replaced with a command to boot into recovery.
Or
My volume down button is stuck but, that's unlikely considering I can use the recoveries just fine and flash roms, wipe dalvik everything too
Please help I bought this phone off of craigslist and been having trouble with it since day one (Unrelated to the seller) just general problems with LG
Try the G2x batch cleanup tool in the dev section. Sounds like your partitions may have been messed up. And stick with CWM 5.2

Same Problem.
I have a same problem, also wanna add that every time I connect my phone too a charger it turns on by itself, and boots to CWM Recovery.
I tried using Batch Cleanup Tool but still having same issues. Please HELP!!! I cannot afford a new phone right now.
Thanks in advance for any suggestions.
Nata, what rom are you using? Try flashing something else
