NV Flash
its not the same. odin was a backup in case you couldnt even get into recovery, so there was download mode as a failsafe....which was through odin.. there has to be something like this available... anyone know.. or are we sol if we mess up bad
Im wondering this as well...my friend flashed a rom on the G2x and the wifi is broken. Rom manager won't flash into recovery. Used my Sim card which has internet but the phone won't recognize the internet. Tried the power+ volume buttons on boot up but nothing happens. Any idea on how to get back to stock? Rom is eagle's blood
You would need to flash CWM through NVflash
ROM manager will not flash CWM, it looks like it did but is actually a fake flash. That's why you need to do it through nv flash.

Yes. You flash back to stock with the KDZ file and the KD flasher program.

downloaded nvflash and drivers, have usb debug mode on but when i do anything on nvflash it says no usb connected?
nvm got everything done thanks a lot!
I believe that there's the program used to flash KDZ files, I guess that could restore EVERYTHING back to stock.

Koush and Cyanogen said ROM Manager is not doing a fake flash. After flashing the rom you have to immediately boot into recovery using rom manager. It them flashes the new recovery right after boot. The recovery partition is not available when the phone is in normal mode. If you don't do an immediate boot into recovery through ROM Manager then the recovery is not properly flashed. If you have updated to GB then the first time you must do the NVFlash method as there is no way to root the phone any other way at this time.

It is fake in the sense that no matter what you do it isn't on the actual recovery partition and if the phone goes to hell in a handbasket then you have to flash one through NVFLASH anyways. Koush just happens to have a vested interest in people using Rom Manager.
Yes, STAY THE HELL AWAY FROM ROM MANAGER. Seriously, you're just asking for trouble.
I use rom manager all the time. It works great for downloading and flashing roms on the fly... but just NVFlash first.
NVFlash takes like 3.5 seconds and your done. Nandroid backup and your good.
Then either download Rom manager or manually download and copy it to your SD card. Very very simple. Easiest phone ever to get going. You don't even need to worry about rooting first.
You'll gain root after flashing s custom rom. MIUI is my choice right now. CM7 is having problems after they merged the LG GB source.
MIUI 8.19 is found in the rom forums. Weapon is also nice but lacks some extras I'm used to.

So I had my phone rooted and everything was fine. And when I tried to flash another Rom onto it my phone got bricked. I fixed it back to stock. I rooted my phone again but I can't seem to get the custom recovery back on it from the "All In One Recovery" thread. But my question is when I use Clockworkmod my phone kind of bricks when I try to recover an old backup I made with the custom recovery. I don't know why it does that, and also when I pick a recovery to flash with clockworkmod which one do i pick? I'm sorry for all the typing but any help would be so appreciated.
////DID U FACTORY RESET,WIPE DALVIK CACHE, AND THEN WIPE BATTERY STATS THEN TRY RESTORING??????If NOT TRY IT....IF it has happend twice or more with the bricking, Your backup files are most likely damaged.. 1st thing I would try is fixing permissions with cwm maybe their not damaged, it could be permmisions got screwd up....."personally if u can still go custom I would just find a good rom to serve my needs, BUT!! IF U CANT EVEN GO CUSTOM, YOU WOULD HAVE TO USE LG'S SOFTWARE KDZ FIRMWARE TOOL ......IF UR LUCKY YOU CAN GET THE KDZ STRAIGHT FROM LG'S SERVERS IF NOT "ITS TIME TO GO HUNTING....BACK TO WICH FLASH RECOVERY TO CHOOSE ON CWR TRY THE 2 OPTIONS THAT HAVE MULTIPLE PHONES AND OTHERS IF THAT DONT FLASH THEN TRY THE ones closest ,if not try new alltouch or older flashes....................

Hello, my phone boots into CWM always. I tried to do KDZ way to make it stock rom (V21e and V21y). It cannot find the phone. When I install CWM from oneclickrecovery to install rom zip file from my sd card it still boots to the CWM. What can I do for that ?
thank you.
Try this. It's not gonna make it stock but it should work. I think for kdz you should have stock recovery? Not sure about that one.

http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1590523 that thing is working, thank you very much, and it is not making phone stock. You can flash whatever you want to flash, but I guess in order to flash ics we need to flash a GB rom first if we came froma 2.2 or cwm boot loop.
Hey everyone,
My little brother is trying to learn more things about mobile devices and wanted to have a go at my old piece of junk, stock optimus one p500h. So i let him have a go and now it's not working so here is the problem.
First he rooted it and that worked fine with gingeroot and then proceeded to install romanager which bricked the phone but he was able to recover the phone with a recovery.img and using LGMDP-v1.5 and emergency mode.
After that he installed some android system recovery thing "RA-thunderg-1.2.0-gnn" not sure what the software was originally, regardless he tried flashing from the flash from zip from sdcard and used a cyanogenmod zip which he said worked and then the phone said success and rebooted.
Now the phone just sits at the cyanogenmod loading screen and will not boot.
I am able to get into the recovery menu with home,down and power and emergency mode also works.
Where did he go wrong and what does he need to do in order to get this to work properly? Thanks for your help everyone and sorry if the post is a bit disjointed i'm trying to translate what he's saying into the post xD

If running a Windows PC and the device can boot in to fastboot, you can use Android Flash Recovery ( link in my signature ) to flash another recovery image. There are some more complicated ways using ADB, but well try to avoid them ATM You can also use LGMDP to flash a different recovery image. There are several floating around here at XDA.
As for where he went wrong, I cannot say. Piece of advice, if in doubt - don't do it.
Have you tried booting to recovery and wiping cache and dalvik cache then attempt to boot to Andorid?

thanks for the fast reply, looks like recovery is gone now? I had attempted to clear the cache though. Would you mind giving me a step by step as im unsure of what i need to do now xD not sure what i need downloaded or to do what with what after my brothers done all this haha
Just flash a recovery from LGMDP for your phone.. then download a rom for your phone and wipe everything in recovery and flash the rom
And do not flash stock rom from kdz or lgmdp if you cannot boot your phone. It has high chances of bricking

Cm7(except a very old one from mik_os), stock gb and up requires new baseband. You can search for baseband fix and install through recovery ( I don't remember if it's old bb fix or new bb fix, try for yourself )
You can also search how to install new bb permanently but it's more difficult and has(I think) chances of bricking your phone

Ive got a lg g2x it has been flashed with different rom. but I put the factory rom back on it. But the baseband is wrong it just clicks when making calls. I fixed it before but now cant remember how to install the baseband. I have the one I need on my sd card just don't remember how to install or load it. Any help is appreciated.
Still no luck ive been searching all day. When I try to install from the sd card in CWM. After rebooting the back light for the screen just flashes and the phone doesn't load. Please help my Galaxy is busted need to switch phones
You don't need to install a baseband. Just the baseband fix. Search in the forums for baseband fix and flash the right one.

Thanks for the advise. Searching baseband fix brings up stuff that I have read all day. Is flashing a baseband different than installing from sd card in CWM? Sorry noob here. Might be reading what I need some where and just not understanding it. How do you flash the baseband? I know the baseband file on my sd is correct because I had the phone working before.
I honestly dont know how to updgrade/downgrade a baseband. But I'm pretty sure it's not as simple as flashing it. Like I said all you need is the baseband FIX for your phone to start working again.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1776843 Here's the sticky that's in the G2X General forum.
If you're on the new baseband and having popping issues then you need to flash the first download link in CWM. If you're on the old baseband and having popping/clicking issues when calling then flash the third download link in CWM.
Thanks again I have read that sticky. I did see where someone wrote that flashing is the same as a rom. When I go it that way It wont reboot. still searching and trying different things
Tried using the links from sticky. When I try to reboot after installing from sd in CWM. It flashes the LG logo then nothing. Screen just lights up goes dark then lights up over and over. Not sure if Im just not doing it in the right order or what. Can anyone help me with the actual flashing process or explain why it wont reboot
are you rooted?

I believe so. Like I said im a noob. I don't do a lot with phones but normally can figure stuff out through forums. Phone is on android 2.3.3 right now. Kernal 2.6.32.9 build GRI40 software version lg p999 v20c. Not sure if any of that helps. Thank you for continuing to reply still hoping someone can be like hey your doing this ------ wrong
You have CWM recovery installed.....did you install it via NvFlash (the correct way) or was it done through the Rom Manager app (the WRONG way)?
First, I would like to know if you are rooted. Do you have the super user or SU app on your phone? You can open up a terminal emulator and type in SU and find out that way also. If it's not rooted, report back and I will give you a zip file that you can flash to easily root the device. Next, I would upgrade the baseband to 2.3.4 with the LG updater tool.
CWM was on the phone when I got it. So not sure how it was installed. I do have the super user app. How can you tell if its rooted? The phone had been messed with before I got it. That's how the baseband got messed up. I found how to fix it on here the first time. But now I cant find the same page/thread.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1037120
This may help
I tried the firmware it aborted install like others were talking about it doing.
I also tried the LGMobile support tool and cant get it to work. Getting really irritated that I cant figure this out.
I fixed it before and now I cant. Would be really nice if it would just reboot with the baseband. But no it gets stuck in a boot loop.
Thanks for all your help Pain-N-Panic kinda surprised no one else has chimed in
Have you tried doing a COMPLETE wipe of the device and re-flashing a ROM?
Complete wipe = data factory reset, wipe cache, wipe dalvik cache, format /system under the "mounts and storage" tab in CWM
I have done all that except formatting the system but just tried it and it still gets stuck in boot loop when I try to install the baseband file.
I should have bookmarked the page last time I know it wasn't this hard
The joys of noobhood
What is this baseband file you speak of?
Stop flashing that. It's not working. Do a complete wipe and Flash a working rom like vanilla cm7. Come back here and report.
If your phone can't flash a ROM and you get stuck in a boot loop I would reflash CWM with NVFLASH. Look around for NVFLASH in the stickies and you'll find it. Do you have an SD card? If so, make sure you choose the version of CWM that has SD card support within the NVFLASH user interface. Follow the instructions in the NVFLASH thread to the T in order to install it on your phoen. My advice:
1.) Download vanilla CM7 from get.cm and cm7 gapps package to SD CARD
2.) Reflash CWM to phone via NVFLASH software
3.) Flash CM7 and gapps from SD card through your newly installed recovery
4.) Reevaluate where your phone stands
Super one click says my phone is rooted.
Ive tried a few baseband files from here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1680292&highlight=baseband+install.
And the one I used before that fixed it don't remember where I got that one. I can flash roms fine.
Get stuck in boot loop when I install the baseband.
The NVflash's that I found are for different devices. Would that matter? I also cant get the get.cm/app to install on the phone
I may just be having a Id10t .problem here.
I have super one click and odin. No NVflash no CM/app and no KDZ pogram that the above link talks about.
However I did this before was with CWM,SOC or odin
Which phone do you have?
As the story says, a kiss turned my G2X into an HTC Ruby!
Its a LG-P999DW
Pretty sure Odin is for Samsung devices only...it has no use for our LG G2X. If you can flash ROMs fine then your recovery is working properly. Have you tried using the official LG updater tool to upgrade baseband?
