I installed ROM manager on my phone and when I tried to back up my ROM, it said I need to flash clockworkrecovery. I thought I already did that, when i rooted my phone and flashed revolutionaryHD 3.0 ... Will I screw things up if I click "ok" when manager prompts me to?

I would just flash CWM again through ROM Manager. That samething happened to me on my NS.

It says that because alpharev recovery it's a different version of recovery. If you want to use rom manager you need to flash the one that it wants. And don't worry, I'm using it and it works
thats what i had to do
The version rom manager will flash has the charging bug. Just boot into recovery and back up from there. Not that hard

Omg I flashed it before I read your comment about the bug... Guess I need to reflash the working one back.

I wouldn't worry about the bug... I'm using that version and I have no problems, I also know people who flashed the "bugless" cwm, and they experienced the charging issue.... Its a case by case scenario, see what works for you... Just make sure you keep your battery from completely dying and monitor charging....

I need some help either getting root restored or getting CWM back. I rooted my G2X using the SuperOneClick method, did a nandroid backup of the original ROM, and then installed a CM7.1 nightly. After doing so, I found out that I no longer have root (or that the su binaries are corrupt) and there are a ton of issues with the currently CM7.1 nightly ROMs. I really just want to get back to the stock ROM that I have a nandroid of. When I do actually get to the Android Recovery screen, it sits at "Formatting MISC:..." and I can't select any other options (not sure what that's all about). I have tried rooting again, but I get errors saying things like "chmod: no such tool".
Does anyone know another way to get into CWM, know how to restore root, or have an alternative to restore a nandroid backup?
I had the same problem when updating from virtuous vision (froyo) to virtuous visioin unity. 2hat solved the issue for me was uninstalling SU and reinstalling it from the market.
Not shure if this'll solve it for you though.

Yup, nvflash CWM is your best bet at this point. Disregard the titanium suggestion.
Same exact thing happened to me. ROM Manager says I have CWM 3.0.2.7 current, but I can't reboot into recovery, restore any backups, fix permissions, etc. I noticed it when I tried to re-flash CM7 nightly #37 because my wifi was stuck at "obtaining IP address" and I was getting 3 or 4 force close notifications at startup. Installed root check and it said "root access is not properly configured or was not granted. SU binary not found in the system declared PATH."
Going to try nvflash CWM and go from there. Hoping to get this beast running proper!

People just need to stop tinkering with their phone's software if they don't know what they're doing. They screw something up and come crying back here for help. Now, I know we were all 'noobs' at one point... But at least put the effort into reading up on details and be at least 90% certain you know what to do, before you eff anything up. Seriously guys. We can help, but you shouldn't be doing this sort of stuff if you aren't up for it yet!
I know all of us, the more seasoned geeks, have had multiple android devices so we know our way around. And we were in the same boat as you once too... Learning the basics and all that. But don't be flashing roms and/or kernels if you don't know what adb is. #justsaying.
Now, for your problem. I'm not even sure if you used NVFlash to flash a recovery. And if your getting weird errors while booting into recovery, flash it again. Once in recovery all you have to do is restore your back up, simple as that. There's no need to flash other roms. Now, if you used ROM Manager to flash your recovery... Then your nandroid is probably stored on your internal SD. And if you have an external SD recovery then you can't get at it. Maybe I missed something but I'm not sure if that's even the problem. But there is a stock/rooted nandroid here in the dev section, copy that to the proper location on your external SD and proceed to restore that.
Try that first before you flash anything, It seems most logical to me at least
I found these instructions on using nvflash to reflash CWM recovery (link below). It worked like a charm for me- but I had a backup from just after I rooted. After restoring it to original (rooted), I wiped and reflashed the latest CM7 nightly #61 with gapps. You can probably just flash the latest nightly instead of going back to original like I did.

I've got a perplexing problem. For some reason, after flashing certain ROMS I get stuck at the HTC boot screen (have waited 30mins so definitely stuck). Some ROMS work and others don't. For example, Android Revolution 3.03 and 3.04 worked, but 3.10 does not. All LeeDroid ROMS never work. I have asked in the actual ROM threads but nobody knows. Why would some ROMS work on my device, while others just hang at the boot screen?
Likely to be something low-level related. I'd use the Super Wipe script if you've not already before flashing the new ROM
Thanks for the reply. I have experienced this problem even after a super wipe. What is the simplest way to restore to factory (keeping the s-off of course) so I can start from scratch again?
Follow the guide in the Dev forum. You need to use your RUU to go back to stock
Have you been checking the ms5 checksum before flashing to be certain you don't have a bad download?
Sent from my HTC Sensation 4G using Tapatalk
i see more and more ppl getting this problem.. well you the second one P. yesterday i have experienced it aswell after using a wipe that i have used many times in the past.. the wipe refused to work so i ended up just flashing the rom instead... was wierd tho,
edit: btw what recovery were u using? I just tried out twerp at the time, altho i did successfully flash a rom with a wipe that same morning

Silly me. No I haven't. I'll try this. Thx..
Ok I am in dire need of help! I just flashed my G2x and have no connection to tmob ile whatsoever. Ive tried three different roms no including eagles blood, hell fire phoenix and now bionix. each time ive got no tmobile connection and no battery data also. dont know if ive done something wrong any help?
Have you tried CM7? Did you do a full wipe prior to installing? Have you tried to flash back to stock? We need a little more info, please.
yes ive tried cm7. i just recently reverted completely back to stock and still no connection or battery data. when i originally flashed rom yes i did full wipe cache wipe and dalvik wipe. well when i had flashed clockwork mod recovery i did it through rom manager and my first custom rom flash resulted in a boot loop and i wasnt able to get back into recovery.. after hours of searching i figured out how to flash recovery through apx and was able to get into clockwork recovery and there i flashed my rom.. since then ive tried everything to get a connection to the network with no success. even reverting to full stock.. now before it was stock gingerbread and now its back to froyo.. have tried over and over to use lg update tool with no success.. thanks for all and any help
So im still searching.. With no luck.. Turns out it is a baseband problem says unknown.. Im literally seconds from throwing this phone at the wall!! Aaagh...
If you have no baseband, you may not have a radio installed... no radio/unknown = no data. Try flashing your desired ROM and then flashing a radio. I don't much about the G2X... you might want to check this thread out: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1332350
Also, I just read that you can go to LG's website and use their official updater. Some users have said they had to return to stock to get it to work, while another claims they had CWM Recovery and CM installed and it worked perfectly. Bottom line is that is sounds like you need a radio.
Yea ez stuff. Downlosd radio and flash it

Hello guys,
I have posted about this issue before maybe six or more months ago, but it was not sorted out. So basically my problem is that I am running LeeDroid 3.3.3 on my phone. I have been using this ROM since the first time I rooted my phone. The problem is that I want to change this ROM, but my phone will not run any other ROM at. Any ROM that I install my phone hangs on the white HTC logo screen and does not go anywhere from there. I have had a few instances where my phone would load up a new ROM that I try to use, but it would eventually freeze and when I would restart the phone, it would never get past the white HTC screen. My phone does seem to load up Cyanogen Mod successfully most of the time, but I do not like that ROM. I have tried to re-root my phone, use a different SD card, format my SD card and used both CWR and 4ext recovery to try to install different ROMs. Nothing but the original stock ROM, LeeDroid 3.3.3 and Cyanogen Mod load up and I hope that someone might have dealt with a similar issue over this time that has passed. Thanks for reading and hope you can help!

did you do complete wipe of phone using super wipe
Yes. I don't use superwipe thought. I just wipe everything with 4ext Recovery. I used to use superwipe, but it did not help.

Make sure that your phone does not have a hardware issue. There's no reason for a custom rom to work and other not if you are S-OFF. Make sure that the roms are for your phone and not for a different device, that might explain that.

Yes, my phone is S-OFF as it says in bootloader and every ROM I try comes from the Inspire 4G Developer section in this forum. I am left to believe that this really is a hardware issue, but how can my phone be the only one? I have never heard anyone else have a similar issue. And it is also weird that LeeDroid 3.3.3 works no problem.

Well I unrooted my phone using the ACE hack kit a few times and then rooted it again and tried to put on a different ROM each time but my phone still does not load the ROM. My phone loads up the backup LeeDroid no problem though. So I was wondering if something from LeeDroid changed my phone that it does not accept any other custom ROMs. I wonder also if I unrooted the phone with a new pd98 zip from a phone that didnt have LeeDroid on would possibly help?

No you need the rooted att pd98 zip. You are already rooted no need to mess with the ace hack kit. Power up with volume down and power button into hboot you should see s-off meaning its rooted just reboot and download zip then just place in root of SD card power off then power up to hboot with volume down and power button it will recognize zip volume up for yes to install let it do its thing then your back to rooted stock att gingerbread rom and radio. Then install whichever custom rom you want just follow their installation instructions on their page.

I tried restoring my phone to factory settings, wiping my memory card as if that would do anything. please help it's all I ask!
Hi there, I have had this problem before. I am no dev so I can't explain the technical issue, but this usually happens when you flash a mod that's not compatible with your ROM... if its compatible and your ROM has updated, the mod sometimes needs to be updated to be compatible with the latest version of your ROM.
Reflashing your ROM will completely fix the issue. I hate to say it, but ALWAYS do backups before flashing anything through recovery!!!

He's not rooted it seems. You first need to calm down. Then, go to settings -> About phone and see what build you have. If it's 2.20 then go here. If it's 1.73 or 1.82 go here. If it's 1.85 then go here. Once rooted, if you have anything but 2.20 you won't need to flash the boot.img seperately. In order to flash the boot.img go here.

Is there possibly a way to revert to the original through "metamorph"? Most tweaks or apps like this only work on certain devices, so check the reviews or description more thoroughly if it doesn't say your device.

That happened to me on my old LG G2X. I tried to do something similar with a different program. It was messing with SystemUI.apk. I had created a backup before it did its work so I just replaced it, rebooted and it was fine. Might not be the same problem just because the symptoms are similar. If you had an unmodified SystemUI.apk file you could probably just overwrite it. Worst case, just flash a new ROM.
But yeah, in the future always take backups before you do anything like that. I learned that the hard way a few times.
