On my 4th G2x. Same problems as the others. Reboots on its on, sleep of death. In fact this morning I was talking on phone and it shut down. I had to remove battery and reboot.
I called Customer Service that has always been super nice. This time they said, oh, since this is your 4th and this one just in 6 days I can't help you I have to send you to Tech. The Tech guy basically said "known software problem, sending replacement won't do any good. Can't give you different phone. Maybe it is your SD card and apps you have loaded. He actually told me Facebook app could cause it to shut down. Said to reset to factory, remove SD card and use it for 3 days with no apps. After 3 days if all is well then start adding apps. I asked what if it has problems during the 3 days? He said, 'there is nothing we can do. I will report this to LG and they will send out an update. I don't know when but they will update the software".
WTH?! So I am done. I will do the root. Now i just need to read all these great threads to figure out how and which version! Wish i could just pay one of you to do it for me!
Thanks for letting me rant.
I've been running stock since August with no issues but I really wanted the LG Camera app so I installed CWR and flashed the WeaponX rom with no issues. Everything works and it's even smoother then stock Gingerbread. Just follow the directions to the T and the process should take less than fifteen minutes if you have all your files ready to go.
Enjoy!

Thanks! Which directions did you follow? There are a number of threads here.
The directions are a bit confusing as they reference other threads and then have comments stating this step is now obsolete. etc. Seems like I first need to get the ROM Manger?

Correct?
i followed this http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1060715 and was fine. this was my first root as well.

I used this method to NvFlash and install Clockwork recovery which is the basic software you need in order to flash ROMs. You do not need ROM Manager. Once you've done the NvFlash and installed CWR you can copy your ROMs to the SD card or phone storage and flash through Clockwork Recovery. Make sure you backup your stock install through CWR prior to flashing anything new so you can return the phone to a usable state.
As always follow the directions verbatim, some steps take time as well. Also make sure your battery is 100% charged... If it dies during any portion of the process bad things can happen.
I had all of those issues until I flashed cm7... then the issues became very minimal... I once had 8 reboots in a day on stock rom, during phone calls and everything... You are definitely taking a step in the right direction
P.S. my wife has completely stock phone on stock rom and has Facebook app with no issues, she just got lucky I guess
To OP: do you have 2.2 or 2.3 installed as your stock rom... read carefully there are different instructions for both
Never use ROM Manager. Even if it worked perfectly on our phone I still would never recommend it. I've seen it cause more harm than good.
Anyways, you don't even technically need root to flash a ROM.
Just NVFlash CWM. After that you can upgrade to the latest CWM via ADB. Then flash your desired ROM. I suggest CM7.
yeah, you know ROM manager... now forget it. Use NVflash and clockwork
I got myself in trouble!
I followed instructions and all went well. I installed the GB, no problems. No I was brave so I thought I would try the Cyanogen mod. It too installed fine. I don't like it. Now i can't get rid of it! I tried reinstalling the GB and the cyanogen won't go away! i tried restore to factory, but it won't go away!!
Please lend me your advice on how to remove Cyanogen mod!

Then just wipe and flash a new ROM.
Make sure you wipe data, cache, dalvik then format system before flashing new ROM.
Clearly I am a dunce.
I uninstalled the driver on pc. Did a reinstall. Flashed ROM again. Installed GB zip. rebooted and the dang Cyanogen MOD is still there!
I even went over all steps again, this time flashing back to stock. Still Cyanogen MOD is boots up

i remember, I followed this video.
http://theunlockr.com/2011/05/03/how-to-load-a-custom-rom-on-the-t-mobile-g2x/
to install a new rom
remember: (once you've copied the zip on sd card, power the phone to enter into clockwork and steps)
1. back up and restore
2. wipe data/ factory reset
3. install zip from sd card
so far, it hasn't failed me
you can skip the first one, but shouldn't
Just download Weapon if you want to go back to stock. Its Stock with a few needed tweaks and fixes. Very stable and no issues.
G2x - 2.3.7 CM7
Transformer - 3.2 Revolver OC/UV
The reboot issue were in all my G2X(3). Only rom that fixed that was Weapon G2X. Running a custom rom is the way to go with this phone, otherwise you'll go through 100 replacements with same issues.
Today I did an exchange for my brother's line which he has the G2X and the rep told me I could get a brown color G2X because they no longer carry original color or a Sensation. (Not sure what he was talking about brown color because I thought all G2X were the same color other than the white floating around)
So I decided to just get the Sensation, I know it's got issues of it's own, but will give it a shot because I want the G2X to just be a memory of the past.
This phone could have been a beast, but will never live to it's full potential.
Good luck and if you need to exchange again and you don't mind getting a Sensation I would suggest bringing that up to the rep.

If you screw up and can't boot up, ROM manager cannot get you into recovery. Only an NV flashed clockworkmod recovery will boot up in the event of a boot loop.

You don't have recovery with Rom Manager, yeah it flashes all the roms but if you get into a bootloop or worse then you are SOL.

Rom manager works just fine. However, like previously said, you just need to NVFlash first for safety reasons.
From a complete stock G2x, NVFlash, Nandroid Backup, and flash a previously downloaded rom (Weapon or CM7 or MIUI or Eaglesblood or any of the other wonderful roms). Custom roms have root so THEN you can go to town with Rom Manager.
I use Rom Manager as my primary flashing service because it not only downloads them, but will automatically reboot into recovery, perform your desired wipe options, and flash. With CM7 it will automatically check for the latest GAPPS and flash it too in one fowl swoop.
Just have to NVFlash first.
I NVFlashed my neighbors G2x the day he got it and, while he didn't want to try custom roms just yet, we did a Nandroid Backup just for laughs. Now he's running MIUI.
I'm having all kinds of trouble with my MT. I originally flashed CM7 from stock with CWM after wiping factory and cache. The flash errored out the first time, but worked the second time. The gapps install errored out so I just tried rebooting without stock google apps. The phone just booted to the Motorola logo and didn't go any farther. I let it sit for over 20 minutes and no go.
I had made a backup so I went back to CWM to restore the phone. Again, I did a factory and cache wipe, ran the restore, rebooted, but now the phone boots to Motorola logo, then reboots into CWM. So weird!
I have a theory that it has something to do with a hardware problem. When I try to flash another rom (besides cm7) the screen goes blank (no text) and then goes back to the root menu. I tried booting to CWM then plugging it in and removing the battery but after an varied amount of time the phone shuts off.
I've searched and searched and I can't find where anyone's had a problem like this and NOT been able to get the phone back. I'd like a solution, but I'd also like to know if i'm the only one who's had this problem!
thanks!
Never mind
I got it working! I tried a different battery in it and it worked! I'm not sure if it was the battery or I just did the right combination of things, but I'm glad to be back! But for anyone who is having the same issue here's what I did:
Running CWM 5.0.2.6
1. Wipe factory/cache/davlik
2. format sd card
3. shut down
4. use pc to copy stock nandroid backup from androidforums (google "stock triumph restore")
5. boot back to CWM,
6. restore the backup and reboot, should work
**IF you have md5 checksum error, use adb via usb to run these commands and immediately try to restore again:
adb shell
# cd /sdcard/clockworkmod/backup/2010-06-29.20.22.53
# rm nandroid.md5
# md5sum *img > nandroid.md5
# exit
**Make sure to unmount the sd card before restore.
Again, I really don't know if it was battery or not, but I tried this before changing batteries and it didnt work!
But wait, there's more!
Ok, now that I'm able to get back to stock, I'm still unable to flash any custom roms. I wipe/factory reset, format /system, then install update from sd card. When I confirm the update, the screen goes blank (no text), then goes back to the main menu! It does this with any rom!
Any help?
dont think triumph is supported phone according to cwm ?

Are you running the latest cwm?
Sent from my VS910 4G using xda premium
Yep, 5.0.2.6. I just tried CM7 .04 beta because I have a friend who flashed it successfully on his MT. When I ran it it said it was installing for maybe 4 seconds and then said complete. When I rebooted all I got was the Motorola logo.
I just got this phone. Is it possible that Motorola changed something with the hardware to make it not work?
I've managed to get CWM running a little more stable by replacing the boot.img file with the one from CM7, but all I get when I run the zip is this:
-- Installing /sdcard/CM7.zip
Finding update package...
Opening update package...
Installing update...
Install from sdcard complete.
that all takes about 6 seconds and I get just the motorola logo when I reboot.
It still goes blank (no text) when I try to flash any other rom (like stockROM) so something is definitely screwy.
I don't know if this has anything to do with it, but I have a friend with a Triumph who successfully flashed cm7. I looked at his phone and found that the model number on his is WX345 while mine is WX435. Maybe my version really does have issues with clockwork?

I did notice that the Triumph isn't listed on Clockwork's site. It is, however, listed on xda. Maybe its not officially supported?
figured it out! It had something to do with the sd card. I was using a 16gb class 10 PNY card. I put the stock 2gb back in it and it worked like a charm. Don't know if it was a defective card or the phone/clockwork just didn't like it.
Bay PONY...Noticed that my pny class 10 16gb was slower(or just took longer to mount and search for media, cause it's bigger) than the 16gb samsung class 2 that came with my epic...Dunno; but glad to hear CWM works! now you can switch back cards

I've tried both. I like the gingerbreak b/c it adds superuser app for you. Both worked fine though...
But since I installed CM7 I didn't need to root it first.
I recently bought a nexus s and once rooted the keyboard dissapered. It was fine until i flashed a rom unsuccessfuly, then turned the phone off. Once turned back on the keyboard was no more. If anyone could help me find a zip. to flash or a way to put a new keyboard on the phone I would appreciate it. the phone is basicly useless without the keyboard now, ive tried recoving to factory condition, flashing from an earlier point, and so forth. Please help!!!

I flashed a gapps zip from the site you linked me to and now when the phone turns on it says setup wizard is not responding and give me the option to force close. Nothing happens from that point its just stuck in a force close loop. I hope to god i didnt brick this thing. Is there a way to fix this problem? I didnt backup before flashing gapps and ive tried to restore the phone and wipe it clean but no luck. Any help would be greatly appriciated because i just got the phone, mainly to use it as a fun project seeing as smartphone customization has become my new hobby, and Im usually very good at it but now I am just afraid ive bricked the phone and I bought it unlocked so i paid a fair amount of money for i. Please help if there is a solution. Thank You,
Do you still have access to CWM? Can you make a clean install of any ROM? Wipe dalvik, cache, factory reset, format boot, system, data, cache and install ROM.
Download another ROM (and follow instructions from OP) which is not the one you initially had problems with (or download again - might be a corrupt zip file).
Thank you

Thank you very much, I followed and executed your instructions and now im running ice cream sandwich 4.0.4. not bad from going from almost a bricked phone to running one of the best versions of android. I downloaded offical roms this time instead of custom ones, first a version 2.3.4 and a 4.0.3, flashed the ics rom first and worked like a charm. Thank you very much, even got an update 5 min after i flashed the rom. You saved me 200$ and the embaracement of having a worthless phone. Im sure ill have more questions in the future, so glad there are ppl out there with the same passion for smartphone customization that i have. Much obliged. Omar
So I am going to type out my story so that nothing is missed. I really wanna fix my phone.
*I started out a regular user. Saw TWEAKED 3.0BETA and give it a try. When the final release came out I put it on no problem.
*YESTERDAY My phone tried to update facebook, got an error like "wrong file size" or something stupid, it crashed and I could care less.
*THIS MORNING I wake up and I had a text message from my GF with a picture attached, I couldn't see the picture like normal and downloading it downloaded a blank file!
*SO, I decided to BOOT into CWM and erase everything. Wipe Data. Wipe Cache. Wipe Delvik. Then proceeded to put in Tweaked 3.1 which came out not to long ago.
*After doing so, the phone would boot into where it normally would, but then the "first start wizard" would crash and force close, along with every other process on the phone looping their crashes over and over etc.
*SO, this time I tried using ODIN to flash back to 4D. Set it up just like IMNUTS post said to, including the PIT file, did it, and booted up. SAME THING. Every process would crash including the new user wizard.
After letting it crash loop for while it finally got silent enough for me to skip the wizard and see whats on the phone. ALL MY OLD APPS ARE STILL THERE. Pandora, and all my other apps, still installed, and apparently, CRASHING upon its boot use or whatever.
What do I need to do. Ive tried to ODIN flash every stock version of the charge rom and my apps are still there. Still kicking.
Worst part is months ago my mother (who I share the family plan with) had to cancel the warranty because we are all low on cash, and even worse I lost my job 2 weeks ago so I can't get a new phone.
HELP!!!! Thanks in advance!

yes. I know on the EVO you needed to format a couple of times to make sure that CWM actually formatted correctly.
So you might wanna try that. also did you try going to

Just ODIN a stock recovery.. it shouldn't touch any custom items you might have.

I can't get into the phone, it wont get past the setup wizard. all the applications force close over and over and over again. i did however use the factory recovery mode to wipe and that did nothing either....

haven't tried yet. i was given samsung pst so im trying that atm. afterwards as a last resort ill use what you mentioned.
okay, so i did it. put on cwm, both tweaked 3.1 rom and that wipe all file on the sd card. booted it up. ran the wipe file. then ran tweaked. booted up, and it stuck at the samsung logo. then i figured it was wiped, so i went and hooked it up for odin and put EP4D on it again so i can get fresh, and as soon as i got in all my apps were there, and everything was crashing one process after another.
i think the phone is borked and non recoverable.
Did you happen to mount the /system and /data first as previously mentioned?
That should have forcefully removed everything. Also on a normal basis (if not using a PIT) it won't erase /data ... it never has for me anyways.
How much time does it give you when you get the FC's until it happens again (the FC) can you try
To manually uninstall? ( Applications -> Manage Applications and then deleting then one by one? Or take titanium backup and run a batch to delete the applications in one go....
I'm sorry, I'm just trying to figure this out and help you the best way possible.

I tried to install the latest and greatest version of cyanogenmod this morning but once it got to the activating part, it would not activate. I tried it a couple times, rebooted, wiped, installed and tried again, but nothing was working.
So, I had enough and wiped everything and restored my previous ROM's backup (CleanROM).
But now, even CleanROM can't connect to the mobile network. When I try to do the *228 thing, I first got an error something about a invalid SIM card. So, I rebooted and now the error message says "A Verizon Wireless SIM card has activated your service and updated your phone's roaming capabilities".
What's weird about that is that it doesn't even call, just pops up that message and I still have no network!
Could it be possible that have the wrong radio now? Anyone know what it's supposed to be and where to download the correct one?
Right now: I535VRLG7
What the f happened? What did cyanogenmod do to my phone??? Please help, my phone is dead in the water at this point.
Was it 10.1.0.1? I tried flashing it myself and data would not work either, first time ever happened to me since running CM. Apparently others are having issues with it as well reading the thread on the dev section. I restored my backup of 10.1.0 and it was fine again thankfully. Also you aren't supposed to *228 on a 4G phone, might want to do a search but others have said that can mess up your phone as well.

Yes, that's the version I was trying to install.
I created a backup of CleanROM that I was running before flashing, but that's not working now either. Network is dead for me.
I am having the exact same issue. Flashed the newest "stable" build of CM 10 and now the phone won't activate. Flashed CM10 RC5 and phone won't activate. Installed my backup I made before I flashed and it will not make/receive calls either. I tried searching the g+ community but did not see anything.:crying:

I've tried a bunch of stuff so far, but no luck fixing this. I'm waiting for some files to copy and I'm going to try again. This sucks. I'll post if I have any luck with a fix.
I'm having the same issue. What Baseband are you guys running?

I'm on I535VRBMB1, but I was on I535VRLG7 for some reason. Upgrading did not help.
Welp, going to have to Odin back to stock. Nothing has worked. It's dead. Time to bring it to stock and have Verizon fix or replace it. Thanks cyanogenmod!
I hope I don't have to do that also. I posted in the cm g+ community and I'm waiting on an answer atm. Jumped in irc chat but got no help.

Found this post on G+. Looks like it is a known issue that a radio didn't make it into the build.

But I've flashed the radio and it didn't work for me. I tried two different ones and neither worked.

No need to take your phone back to verizon.....The way to fix it is to Odin back to I535VRALF2. Once stock dial *2767*3855# let it do it's thing when it finishes reboot. After that 4G will be back. Re root and flash CM 10.1.0 NOT 10.1.0.1
Well an update on this. I flashed MIUIv5 found here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2232800 and it booted up and worked like a champ. From there I booted back into CWM and wiped, etc and installed a fresh RC5 and gapps. When the phone booted up the phone would take calls but would force close. From here I booted back into CWM, again wiped and then installed my RC5 backup I made this morning that was working and crossed my fingers. Well when the phone booted up it is working 100%!
I guess my question is what did 10.1.0.1 break that a flash to MIUIv5 fix?
Same issue. I had to wipe everything, format everything (maybe wasn't needed), flashed the newest nightly, latest baseband (something something F1), and gApps of course. I then had to check the "mobile network" settings and change it to SIM card (instead of NV) then reboot, and it worked.
The "stable" builds have been less stable than the nightlies lately, dunno why...
i'm also having this issue guys, I've noticed that my imei is 0. I've tried punching in the codes to get the utility, but can't get anything working...totally lost
RESOLVED!
It was a PITA, but I got 4G back with CM!
This is how I did it, but be forewarned that your device will be wiped, and it will not be a quick fix.
I first used this post (Section 5) to Odin back to stock.:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1762709
Once I was back to stock, the network was still not working. So I dialed "*2767*3855#", it did something, rebooted and then 4G worked!
After that, I was able to follow the same guide from above (Section 1) to root the device, unlock the bootloader and install a recovery.
Once I was at that point, I installed CM from recovery. I had wanted to install the cm stable version 10.1.0, however I failed to copy that to my SD card before I started this whole process.
I had just moved and don't have many of my "tools" (i.e. sd adapters), so I couldn't even download it on my computer and copy it over. Oh, I also performed a factory wipe at this point as well as format the davlik and system...oops. So, yeah, couldn't simply boot it back up easily to copy the files over...got ahead of myself.
Anyways, I kept my fingers crossed and installed the only one that was on the sd card which was the nightly from 6/29. The good news is that worked!
I have since installed the latest nightly (6/30), because why the heck not? I was already on the previous, so it "shouldn't" hurt, right????
Nope, didn't hurt!
So, now I am running the latest nightly with full network access!
Whew, what a pain! Hope this helps you guys!

This worked for me.
Thanks!
I'm on vacation and tried to flash 10.1.0.1 and got hosed on the the radio connection. Nothing would work. Found an old nightly, 6/21 I believe, on my external SD card. Flashed that bad boy and I'm up and running again. Will do more trouble shooting when I get home in a few weeks and have my PC in front of me.

Back to RC5
I had a similar issue, upgraded to 10.1.01 and lost all data connectivity. Wiped clean and tried to upgrade again, then I could not get past the network activation screen.
Wiped and went back to a backup of RC5 and it restarted with less issues, but I still needed to go and correct the Mobile Network RUIM/SIM settings before I got data back.
RC5 has been solid, so I'm going to stick to it until there's a fix for 10.1.01.
this didnt work for me
