Fastboot and cwm... What happened

It seems like everytime i flash a new rom.or update my rom i get to the cwm screen through rom manager. When i want to add an extra(advance power mod) iy takes me to the white (fastbot/hboot?) Screen and i hit bootloader and it finds an update... I know that it will reset my rom and put me bqck to stock if i continue with the update... I just dont get y i cant always jist get to the "black cwm" screen where i am when i flash a new rom? I used to be able to go into rom manager and "boot into recovery" which takes me.to the black normal cwm screen. Now it goes to this white screen with the skating android on the bottom where it wants to update crap. Any help?

Remove (or rename) the PD98IMG.ZIP from your SDCARD. It's finding that and trying to install it.

That's fine. It won't mess anything up. It just needs to NOT see PD98IMG.zip, however you want to go about it...rename, move, delete. The result is the same.

Not to insult your intelligence, but are you sure you have cwr flashed? Perhaps try reflashing it?
I've never uninstalled ROM manager, so I don't know how that affects cwr, whether the stock recovery gets put back on or not, but Rom manager, with a working cwr, should at least get you where you want to go.

[Q] No green bars or 4g symbol?

Hi everyone, had a nexus s and everything on the notification bar was green, because of gingerbread... because it was on auto-sync.. now on my g2x running stock gingerbread its not green just the battery is green.. which is really annoying.. anyone know why?

Yeah, it's because the NS ran REAL AOSP. Which has the colored bars that you're talking about which does mean that you're sync'd.
But, the G2x runs LG's stupid wannabe AOSP. The bars aren't colored because it's their own custom skin. It's sync'd though, you just can't tell because LG made it that way.
I just got the G2x few days ago, couldn't stand their custom ROM. So I rooted it and flashed CM7 the second I had the chance.
I would suggest you do the same as well.

I want to I'm just to scared to flash and root my phone.. because I bricked my old phone

What was your old phone? It's pretty hard to brick this. Rooting was simple and painless. There's a good video tut on how to do it.

A mt4g... is the video on YouTube??

Yeah, the thread is somewhere on the dev section. That's what I did to root it. Took me 10 minutes first time.

Ok I'll give it a try...

1. Install Clockworkmod via One Click NVFlash tool. Do not use ROM Manager.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1056847
Now you have two choices.
Boot into Clockworkmod Recovery (power + volume down) ...
1. Install my root zip if you want to stay on stock rom.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1255214
2. Choose an already rooted rom from dev section and flash it. Make sure you wipe everything before flashing an alternate rom or a bootloop may likely result.

I've hard bricked a couple of phones (not a G2X) in the past and based on what I know this phone is very hard to brick. The only way to do I think is to issue errant commands in NVFlasher, but that is why we have the One Click Recovery flasher to isolate us from that possibility.

^^ damn that guys boss! Do his instructions to a T and you'll be all set.

On that screen, hit the back button.

That did nothing

Curious, are you even rooted?? Lol.

Try the search key.

I don't think so. I don't know how to do any of this stuff lol. I need someone to walk me thru with it all.all I know is I downloaded something on my computer the other day and now it says my phone is unlocked.

The file you named is a ROM for rooted users.

OK that worked. I'm rooted now. I'm redownloading ice dirty alpha 3.6. That's the most recent right?

Correct.
Download it and put into onto the phone. Then post back here and I'll help you install it.

Do I just drag and drop onto the SD card. Or do I put it in a particular folder. Like the root folder
Sent from my Nexus S 4G using XDA App

Nope. Just the sdcard part. Not "system" or anything.

Alright I think.I got it from here. So all I do after this is done is power off and press volume up and power then recovery and install from zip or whatever. Right?
Sent from my Nexus S 4G using XDA App

Wipe first just in case then yes, install from zip and choose the file.

If I wipe wouldn't It remove the file I just put?

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
Sent from my SGH-T959V using XDA Premium App

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. .

As always, make sure the battery is inserted correctly. You can attempt a factory reset using the stock recovery (you would use the home softkey instead of the power button on the stock recovery) and see if that fixes it. If not, call att or take it to a store.
