I successfully rooted my G2x and attempted to flash the hellfire sandwich rom. I believe I did everything correctly, but I have wound up in a situation identical to what is described here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1059155
I have attempted the suggested recovery steps, but my computer does not detect the g2x when holding the volume buttons and then connecting.
Any help would be greatly appreciated I am more than willing to donate to anyone able to help me out of this mess.
How did you install your recovery? Did you use nvflasher to root and install cwm? Or did you install rom manager and click the flash recovery button?

You were right! Than ****ing god. I JUST bought it last night, too; I almost didn't sleep at all...my girlfriend kept saying "Go to sleep, you'll figure it out in the morning!" Should have just listened, and instead I was up another 2 hours just plugging my phone in and out, rebooting it, and scouring the forums desperately...

Heheh...actually I didn't follow the directions! The ones that I was watching showed an error message popping up, and to then look in the device manager; I got an error message once but thought it was wrong and then kept trying to replicate it, but no error message showed. I just hadn't thought to just look in the device manager, and when I did, there it was! ^_^

Not impossible, just improbable, if you attach the phone with something which operates at a file-system level you can brick it. Granted with NV flash, we can NV flash CWM back on and we know we can flash a baseband, so there's not much else which we could access that we could permanately screw-up which can't be unscrewed in some fashion.
hope you have the july baseband before rooting, or else you made an extra step for yourself

Ok so I just got me a New samsung showcase. It came with 2.2 installed build number sch-i500.ee25. Ok so i find out about rooting and all this so i start researching all about it. Here is where i am. I rooted with SuperOneClick. Worked fine. I installed ROM manager to get the clockworkmod but it did not work so I used Odin to install clockworkmod. That worked fine. So at this point I decided i need to backup the stock ROM. I try this using ROM manager but no go. it reboots into clockworkmod and gives me the sd card not mounted stuff. So I read and read and read but i can't seam to find a solution to this problem. I know there other people that have had this problem. I have read through the step by step guides and i really see nothing on this. Anyone have any type of solution.
Running on stock 2.2 rom manager doesnt work. You will need to go into cwm by turning off phone, holding power,vol up and down at same time. after samsung blinks 2nd time let go of buttons and you will boot into recovery.
Thank you. I thought I tried that before but I guess i did something wrong. Worked that time. Now if my memory is correct from reading that will not back up two things. The kernel and something else. How do I back up the kernel? Or am I just not thinking correctly cause I have not had enough sleep.

First, Welcome!
Second, Download and familiarize yourself with a program called Odin. This phone is hard to brick. From nearly every situation you can flash back to stock with Odin.
Third, Showcase files are not common. Send me a PM and ill give you my email address. I can better help over email.

I have the exact same phone as you. I just rooted my phone for the first time yesterday and I am having trouble installing CWM. Can you explain to me how you used Odin to flash CWM. And after you flash CWM, is it possible to revert back to stock recovery? If so how?
Hello! I just recently got my infuse, I had serendipity build 3 and I wanted to give MIUI a try (people said it had worked) and my cwm began to install then proceeded to say it was checking something but I can't quite recall what it was. I know it was a noob move but plea don't badger me, help ASAP would be greatly appreciated. It doesn't boot, the samsung logo shows up then "galaxy s" for a split second. When I attempt to connecty charger it goes into an endless bootloop every few seconds. I am not at my computer but will be in a few hours, as I am on vacation. Thank you very much to anyone who helps.

MIUI builds exist, but you can't just grab any MIUI build. They have a large number of issues which is why distribution is limited.
I suggest you Odin/Heimdall a Gingerbread kernel and then reflash Serendipity VII from CWM. Make sure to do a data wipe before rebooting.
I was using the s7 rom. To install miui boot into recovery flash miui then reboot. When it fails to boot pull battery and hold volume up down and the power button, should boot into recovery again. Then you need to flash miui again wipe data factory reset then reboot, all should be good

Thanks guys i rooted it. next step ROMS
Rooting does not brick the phone, but being rooted gives you the ability to brick the phone. You do not need to be rooted to flash roms. The first thing that should be done is to install Clockworkmod (CWM) recovery onto the device (search the forums) using the one-click flasher. If you are simply rooting and using Rom Manager that is a good way to F up your device. If you install CWM recovery then you just flash a pre-rooted rom if you are changing roms. No need to root first. A total waste of time. And to be safe you need CWM on the device's physical recovery partition (not bootstrap version) before you do anything to your device.

This phone is almost impossible to actually brick. This is probabyl just a bad flash. Redownload the ROM, boot into recovery, wipe, wipe, wipe, and reinstall the ROM and the correct Gaaps.
If problem still persist, you will have no choice but to use Odin. Search around in the forum or Google. Good luck.

Huh? Odin is for Samsung devices, not for LG devices.
Unless there us something I don't know about, don't use Odin in g2x. Unless you do want a brick.
Just re-download the rom and try again.
For root just use One Click to root. It's easy.

Sounds like you did not remove the battery from the phone first. Or you are not pressing both up and down volume together and keeping them pressed continuously.

When I do that, It just shows the LG logo and restarts. Another loop.
[EDIT] I'm a noob. I've been looking in to this for hours and just now realized it said both up and down. Derp. Now I can get into CWM recovery mode, but I still cant seem to get my device to actually boot. It's either recovery or the blue LG.
So I have an old Infuse that my kids use and it went crazy the other day. Not sure what happened. Long story short I keep getting a boot loop at the ATT screen. This phone is not rooted and I'm not sure if it was on Froyo or GB. I've flashed every return from brick I can find on XDA. I'm using Odin and I'm pretty familiar with flashing/rooting etc. Can't figure this one out. The only thing I can think is the boot loaders are not the correct ones? Not sure, I keep seeing GTG's ultimate unbrick but all the links I get to it don't work. this is the only thing I haven't tried. Any help would be appreciated.
Edit to add: After I flash in Odin it goes to reboot then does the open update, verifying update, installing update, successfully installed update package.
Copying media files it says failed to mount/sdcard, can't mount /sdcard your storage not prepared yet please use UI menu for format and reboot. ??? I think that's the problem. How do I fix??
Just search in the stickies for bootloaders. That will solve your problems

This happened to me earlier. What I did was-
1 Went to full stock using heimdal one click, After completetion, U may stuck in bootloop in at&t as you said
2 Flash efs.zip found in the link below using odin. put efs.zip in odin and untouch any other setting and flash, (Ur imei may be previously corrupted so u got bootloop). This doesnot do any harm. So flash with confidence. If ur device doesnot show up in odin after u flash with heimdal one click , reinstal drivers with kies mini
Link for download http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1729838
3 Now u'll be out of AT&T bootloop if ur imei was previously corrupted.
I was in similar situation. And this solved my proble.
Hit me thanks if I helped you :good:
Thanks for all the advise. Still not working. Tried everything above and much more. Different things I do give different results but pretty much the same in end. Either sticks in recovery or boot loops one way or another. Really don't see how this could be related to software but you never know I guess.

Start at the beginning. When you rooted your phone what ROM/build were you on? Stock? What Recovery are you running? Did you make a backup? In my experience, you usually get a system 7 error when the download is bad, (did you check the MD5?) or if you're trying to flash a ROM that doesn't match your current system (IE: trying to flash a JB ROM when you're currently on ICS.)
The more info we have, the better we can help you.

Your original 'system error 7' problem was most likely caused by trying to flash a newer ROM with an older version of CWM or TWRP. Glad you got the phone up, can't help you with the wifi problem, sorry. Although, what modem did you flash, if any? System Settings -> About phone -> Baseband version?

I flashed the UXUMA7 radio, didnt really do much, it worked before.
Still can't figure out the Wifi though :-/ just straight up won't turn on.
If you are on a newer CM 10.1 , the only supported radio is UCMC1, UXUMA7 is really old. That may be why wifi is not working.
UXUMA7 and UCMC1 are very similar. First one is the Rogers and second is att's release which is usually late by a month or so after rogers. Bottom line both will work.
Have your radiofile.zip, cm10.1.zip, and gapps from 20130301 all on your SD card.
Do you have a back up, nandroid? If not do it now.
Go to recovery and Clean up well:
Go to mounts and format data, system, cach twice or three times. Go to advanced and clean dalvik cache. Don't reboot
Now installing in this order:
- radio
-cm10.1
-gapps
Now reboot your phone.
Wait until it is finished and leave it untouched for 10 minutes to settle down and do its thing.
Then turn it off back on and enjoy.
Your noob status will start to fade if you do a clean install :thumbup:
