So I purchased my new LG Optimus 2x from Wind two days ago and I managed to root it today. After rooting it, I downloaded ROM Manager from the android market and did I backup using the built-in clockworkmod recovery app. After doing that, I installed the latest Cyanogenmod stable release and installed it. Everything worked fine, until it rebooted. Now, my device won't get past the lg splash screen. Any help would be greatly appreciated!

That isn't bricked.
NVFlash Clockworkmod (EXTREMELY IMPORTANT)
Then get the latest nightly, the stable CM7 is too old to be relevant or usable compared to the nightlies and wipe data, cache, dalvik cache, and system before flashing, and then flash gapps and you will be good.
Know that this will wipe everything though.
After flashing clockworkmod with nvflash, would it be possible to go back to my old, wind-provided stock android rom?
Phew, I managed to fix it by installing the T-Mobile rom onto my phone. Thanks for the help! Mods, you can close this thread as you please.
download another version and flash again.u will be fine.

Hi folks and especially Chainfire if he is tracking nu-bees,
Nu-bee here. Just installed Resurrection Remix Pro ICS firmware following instructions at Galaxy2Root.com. They had me install 3 files with the Remix package, GoogleApps and GoogleAppsFix. All went well. Then the instructions told me to install 10_CWM.zip so that ClockWorkMod would work. But CWM had been overwritten, so I couldn´t install something from my internal sdcard. I thought I would be clever and install one of Chainfire´s custom CF-root packages. I selected one close to the kernel number I have installed (LPJ). I flashed it over with Odin.
No joy. The phone booted, showed the opening logo and then lay there with a black screen. But CWM recovery still was active, so I wiped the system and reinstalled the files this time including 10_CWM.zip (4 files). This time I have ICS but CWM is gone again. I´d like to back up the ROM.
I´d like suggestions as to how to get CWM installed. I would be most grateful! I read the entire 450 page set of posts on Chainfire´s CF-root upgrades (whew). I´d use one of those if I was confident that I wouldn´t go back to a black screen again.....
still trying
Well, I haven´t gotten much of a response with this. With this 10 post limit for noobies, I can´t get to the developers forum where I would find the folks who grapple with these kinds of issues.
Anyway, I flashed the latest of Chainfires kernels, the LP7 version, and ended up with a black screen again. So I went into restore (and had CWM restore at least) and restored my ROM, etc. But of course, I lost CWM in the process. And had to reconfigure my phone all over again. I had used My Backup Pro and it didn´t save the connections to the Google Market, so I had to reinstall my apps all over again. Is Titanium better in this regard? My Backup Pro claims to make better backups for rooted phones, but this was pretty feeble.
So that will be my question for this forum - should I change to Titanium? Will it get all my apps, settings, and data back into my preferred configuration?
Have a great day......
I am in same boat as you are. I buy i just installed rom with Rom manager and i have Gapps fixer and remix one left and CWM ofcourse. So my problem is i don't have Ex-sd as they suggest to Install "Cwm.zip from external sd card from recovery". How to do so ?
Please help
Thanks in advance
EDIT: Never mind I sort it out Yesterday. I installed from Rom manager & Flash recovery from it and then boot up into recovery from App and then Flash Touch Recovery.
I doubt anyone has had a problem like this before, I think I'm in a real pickle (forum is censored), so brace yourself:
Phone: Optimus L7 P705
Firmware(that's what's called, right?): V20 (official update for jellybean)
I installed CM 10 today, and it was great, but I decided to uninstall it after 5 minutes of ''fun'' since some major features were missing like the ability to make calls (no signal) and the ability to listen to music with headphones (they won't work). Now I tried to look for fixes for it, but nothing worked, so I decided to get rid of it
Now this is where it gets REALLY INTERESTING: I have tried to flash ROMS with the KDZ updater, it gave me an error with 3 different KDZ files, I have also tried installing another ROM from the recovery mode, but it just gives me an ''install aborted'' error right after I start the install. I have made sure that all my settings were right and tried several times, I tried re-installing CM but nothing seems to work....
My phone is now as useless and basic as an iPhone....(Well okay, not THAT bad) but I need a solution urgently, so your help would be very appreciated.
Edit: RESOLVED, if you found this topic and want to know how I solved the issue, check the last post.

Flash v10k(i think this would work) with the kdz thing. It should have everything working. Make a backup of the v10k then full wipe data cache and dalvik. At this point go into recovery mode and install zip from sd card: cm10 and gapps for jelly bean.
A friend of mine did this and worked

Thank you for the reply, but as I had already explained, the KDZ Update Tool does not work for me, I have tried 3 different KDZ files including the v10k
Edit: Issue fixed, I downloaded the v10 baseband zip file and installed it with clockworkmod.
Hey Everybody
I'm new to the whole rooting process, which I did fine on Saturday the 4th of October 2014. Today (October 8th 2014) I tried to install Cyanogen using the installer, it said it worked, but when my phone rebooted it was in the original version of touchwhiz that came with my Galaxy S3 SGH-I747 Rogers version. I wanted to get my files back, so I went into CWM and tried to recover, which didn't work. I tried again and again and it finally loaded my apps, but I had no service and I was spammed with "failure to load .gapps.google" or something like that. I went into CWM and wiped cache, tried again, same issue. I then wiped everything, went back into it and it still was NOT working. What do I do? I have no service at all! I've tried pulling the SIM and putting it back, but no success. Please HELP!
EDIT: I flashed stock ROM using ODIN, which worked. I would still like to know why CWM didn't work though, and if it is still possible to try to get it to work

Anybody?
I'm a beginner myself, and i do not know much about installing custom roms on samsung phones, but maybe you did not flash a compatible custom kernel to support the custom rom? it seems like you did not flash gapps either, but that should not stop you from getting network service. my last guess would be that you need to also install a baseband perhaps. all this information should be there in the galaxy s3 section of the forums.

Hey there, first off, thank you for replying.
I didn't manually use odin or other flashing software to flash the ROM. Unlike the rooting method (which went smoothly) I used the cyanogen mod installer. The installer itself said that cyanogen was installed successfully, but it was not. After it said this, my screen (on the phone) turned off, and I was brought to a fresh install of touchwhiz. I've actually fixed the networking issue by flashing touchwhiz stock,but that still doesn't explain why my CWM backup wasn't working.
I see...I haven't used the cyanogen mod installer myself so cannot say...
What I suggest is that, if you're up for trying again, to manually flash a rom - either Cyanogenmod or any other. There seem to be a lot of good roms available for your phone, and whichever rom you choose will come with instructions for how to install. The usual method will involve the following steps as far as I know:
- Root
- Unlock Bootloader
- Flash Custom Kernel with recovery
- Flash ROM
- Flash GAPPS
These steps are not difficult at all as long as you follow the instructions for your specific phone. I have a Sony Xperia SL and thats how I installed a custom rom on it many times. Sorry I could not help much not knowing Samsung procedures but good luck!

OK,
Download stock ROM for your device from Samsung-updates.com according to device model and region.
Then flash it with Odin.
Good luck
Hi, so i recently bought an brand new (factory Unlocked) LG G2 32gb (D801). It is running stock firmware android 4.2.2. I want to put official CM12 on it. From what I have read, the nightly versions of CM12 are really stable, and they do not have a lot of problems (if anyone has any problems with theirs please share, Im really interested). I am going to use this as my daily driver. My past history of rooting and putting cm on phones only includes the Samsung Captivate (captivatemtd) which I installed CM 10 and 11 (no problems with it). Could someone provide me a detailed, step by step method of installing cm onto the D801? Youtube videos are also helpful. Thanks so much in advance.
P.S. What custom recovery would be better with the LG G2? CWM or TWRP? (I have only used CWM in the past)
P.P.S. Will I be able to update from the nightlies to the more stable build of CM12 (ex. snapshot), without wiping the whole phone and flashing the software from a computer?

I can't get it to work either. D801 with TWRP, tried installing the newest nightly and get an error.

Here's to hoping someone can help me out. My phone details before I messed up: LG G3 D850, rooted, TWRP 3.0, running Fulmics 5.2 for about 1 1/2 weeks
I noticed that I was not seeing the LTE indicator on my phone. I checked the HUB and saw the BootD850-30012016 data patch and figured that I just needed to install. So I flashed it and my phone wouldn't start. I was able to boot into recovery, so I figured I would do a clean install of the ROM so I did a full wipe, accidentally wiping EVERYTHING except for my external SD.
Result was that I can access TWRP but am unable to flash any of my backups or zips from my external SD, or OTG. I can see the files, but don't have the option to "swipe". I also am unable to 'mount' or 'install'.
At this point, I noticed that AT&T has finally released the OTA for Marshmallow, so I figured I would just use LG FlashTool and totally un-root and give the update a try. (BTW, I have used the flash tool many times with no problems/issues on both my phone and my son's D855).
Unfortunately, I am getting the dreaded "unable to change to download mode" after 15 seconds. I have uninstalled and re-installed Flash Tool, the LG Drivers and all files and used every port on both of my computers (Windows 10 btw) but can't get past the download error.
So...after many hours of digging, I took a leap of faith and was able to sideload Fulmics 5.1 successfully and install the 5.2 update from the HUB. I made backup of the ROM but TWRP still won't allow me to "swipe" and install/restore. I reinstalled TWRP using Flashify and it installed version 2.8 but still no go on flashing from recovery.
I realize that I'm lucky to have been able to figure out how to get the phone back using the sideload function in TWRP, but I really do want to go back to stock and it bugs me that I am unable to use my backups.
Sorry for the novel, but I wanted to be sure to include everything I did....if anyone can help me out I would be much obliged. My 11 year old is anxiously waiting on me to figure this out before she gets this phone (I'm moving up to the HTC 10 in a couple of weeks!). She still thinks I'm 'SuperMommy' so if I can fix this I get to keep my swagger!
I was also running fulmics 5.1 and updated to 5.2 in my phone but now i was having pretty good laggs and i finally realised that the update provided by the phone was corruped so i went on the official site and downloaded the same 5.2 OTAs from there and flashed it into TWRP recovery to finally get the latest version 5.3..know that is it always advisable to flash zip file when in recovery mode using TWRP recovery...The big mistake was cleaning also the internal memory of your phone.this caused the malfunction of twrp.
The issue is that most often i have seen cases of lagg in those updating to fulmics 5.2 from the Hub .sometimes in twrp recovery the update files will not successfully wipe and then reboot system with 5.2 installed but with many lagg the file downloaded there may be corrupted and not give you permission to swipe..if you really like fulmics and still update to the latest..Try this it may help you solve your problem:1 reinstall the fulmics 5.1 go to xdadevelopers.com/fulmics follow the link given by xpirit to www.fulmics.com and download the OTA 5.2(file size maybe 46 mb).. 2.reboot your phone now in twrp recovery it should now be able swipe and install..(if not then install Twrp 3.0 and try) 3-search the files in your internal memory or wherever you have downloaded it and flash it ..4.reboot system.That should be done!! In case you want to come back to stock and cant install from Twrp then the problem is with Twrp just download the latest version that goes with your phone.
Thanks guys for the suggestions. I finally figured it out after a couple days of sweating and swearing. Yaneddik, you were spot on about updating from the Hub. I ended up installing TWRP 2.8.6 and re-installed 5.1 from the Fulmics website along with the updates. Everything has been working great (except for losing LTE connectivity, but that's for another thread!). I'm not inclined to update TWRP to 3.0 unless absolutely necessary, 2.8.6 works just fine for me.

Am a newbie here but a long time rooter on my older phones. This is the first time that I've seen the Hub mentioned. Can you kindly post a link?

Hey there....you can access the Hub after you flash the Fulmics ROM. It's where you can get your tweaks, downloads, mods, etc. You'll find it in your app drawer.
