1st- We try to keep these kind of questions in the general section. The "Development" section is for actual roms, hacks, and mods. It gets kinda confusing, I know.
2nd- Rom Manager needs clockworkmod to work. As of right now It is not working for the sgs4g. As previously stated they are working on it.
3rd- There are no real "rom's" to speak of yet ported to our device. There are a couple in this section that are basically stock rom updates.
I would read ALLOT before starting to mod your phone. This will get you started, and you can read how to use odin in the vibrant section, just remember do not flash anything from that section.

Thank you and will do

[ROOT] G2X Gingerbread 2.3.3. stock ROM with flashable zip in Clockworkmod Recovery works with stock froyo or your stock Ginger ,there's also an unroot zip

Noodles is right. It's a VERY simple process when you follow the instructions. It seems like no matter how many people I tell about this, it never catches on and G2x users keep saying "it's not possible." It either needs to be stickied, or added to the "[REF] ALL ROMS | ROOTING | FAQs | STICKIES | POSTING RULES | Read Before Posting" that's already stickied.
*EDIT:
just PMed the author of the thread I just mentioned. Hopefully he'll add it to his list...

Seriously, simplest process.. unbrickable in my opinion.. back and forth.. root and unroot so many times with this, especially since I've had 3replacements .. I probably sent 2 back with the green signals by mistake but they're all unrooted when I sent them

Valhalla rom and how to start?

I need help flashing Valhalla on my device!
Right now I? Running Gingerbread 2.3.3 build VUVKFI
What is the best way?
I'm new in all this, so any advice is appreciated!
Thank you all!

Do you have CWM recovery installed?

Hi
If you're already on GB, then you probably have the right bootloaders. Are you rooted? If so, then you have little to do. Just follow the SGS 4G bible and the opening post of the thread related to the ROM you want to go to.

careful, KF roms had jacked bootloaders that can cause problems. You want to start with a later rom build, like a KG or KH rom. Follow the guide HolyGhostBoy posted above with FB's Ext4 starter pack, and you'll be good to go.

Yeah FB GB starter pack if your coming from either kf build. Good luck with download mode though, you will probably need adb to get there.

Tips on flashing / rooting / cwm.

Soooo. Im planning on getting this phone. Soon. Realllll soooooonnnnn.
And there are a few things i want to know.
Does this phone have a radio/spl like the htc g1? (just an example) where we have to flash a new radio/spl to flash a certain rom? or can we just flash any rom straight from cwm?
and im not sure whether im going to be getting a rooted or unrooted phone, so to be on the safe side, say i'm not rooted. Is there a way i can root it without a computer?
Once rooted, i know i can flash the "wannabe cwm" from rom manager to flash roms.
Im also from the sgs4g forums where we can go into download mode/recovery mode by the volume button + power button combinations. Is this pretty much the same?
All answers appreciated. (even though im sure not all of them will be quite related to this post and rather flaming me telling me to go search before posting, but maybe thats just the other forums)
Thanks for everything guys. Hope to be a great member and a flashaholic with the g2x

This phone will be much better than the SGS4G.
First off, do not flash CWM from ROM Manager. The G2x needs a slightly custom CWM.
Best way is to flash CWM via NVFlash. It's kind of sorta like going into download mode. There's couple threads on it in the Development section, so it's easy to find. And you need a computer for that. Once that's done that's pretty much it... Just wipe data, dalvik cache, and head into mounts and format /system. Once you did those 3 things then flash whatever ROM you want.
You don't have to worry about SPL, radio, modem, etc. Good luck.

You don't need root to flash a new ROM for the G2x. You just need CWM via NVFlash.

Aight cooooooool. So i can just flash a rom from nvflash right? Aight. All questions answered. Thanks all. Hope this helps other newbies to g2x forums.

No, you flash CWM from NVFlash. You flash ROM's through CWM.

Alright so.. ima be flashing cwm via nvflash tomorrow. If it bricks my phone, can i get the solutions to fix it? Im asking now just in case something happens tomorrow. Thanks guys.
Sent from my LG-P999 using XDA Premium App

i sincerly doubt you will brick your phone. Using NvFlash is pretty much easy enough for a monkey so you should be okay.
After that find a already rooted rom you want to load up through CWM. If your staying stock without loading up a new rom you need to get superoneclick to root it.
Tips: Don't unistall system apps unless your sure you don't need them. Once you unistall a system app and you hard reset it won't be there.
Recommended is stock foryo (rooted) rom or Ultimate Froyo Rom
invest a few bucks into gold standard apps (rootexplorer, setcpu, etc)
Hit me up if you have any general questions

Im not a noob. All i needed was to get cwm on my phone.
And i only asked about radios because phones with radios (like the g1 for example) had to flash a different radio to flash a rom. . that question was answered.
And i asked about the nvflash because i bricked my other phone a couple of times via odin. . And that question was also answered.
Currently running weapon g2x. deleted all bloatware/useless items. Just want to ask if i can download the samsung keyboard from my galaxy s 4g. (pushing the keyboard apk to the g2x.) and how would i add korean to it? As im pretty sure we'd have the language somewhere else.
Other than that, thanks all. .

How to root stock froyo?

Hello all, i've been using cyanogenmod since i got my phone, but would like to get some of the stock apps of it. It's nvflash'd, but I am not sure how i should goa bout rooting it. Is there some sort of flashable zip for 2.2? Should i use superoneclick?
Sorry for asking, but i am unsure of superoneclick, since i have never used it. I'm just wondering if it will permantly affect the bootloader or anything (im going to search after this post)
GOT IT, LOOK AT BELOW EXPLANATION

Lol ....

Sorry again folks. I meant by reflashing my stock rom (from here in canada), it goes back into a unrooted "firmware" phase without superuser. Therefore, i cannot use titanium backup since there is no superuser. I could still use nvflash to flash another rom, but couldnt get nova out of the rom!
I got it by flashing the file for 2.3.3 from this thread : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1255214
(took a leap of faith on 2.2.2). Anyways got it working.
Thanks for trying to decode my original post though

I've read it about 3 times, with no luck to figuring this out. You are rooted and running cyanogen but want to know how to root and get 2.2 stock applications?

Just a quick question, that flazhable package doesn't affect the bootloader like superoneclick correct?
