I don't know what the deal is, maybe my pc just sucks. I've installed the hack file and I read the manuel. The process fails everytime, it tells me either USB debugging isn't enabled, my phone isn't connected or the drivers are not installed. It can only be the drivers, so I read that the drivers are included in the file, ill try and install them and it fails everytime. I have no idea what it could be.

Install HTC sync from the HTC website, turn off your antivirus, make sure USB debugging is enabled, put in the SD Card you want to make a goldcard out of, hook up your phone and let 'er rip.

It does, what I think he ment was when you install HTC sync it also installs the drivers. When you uninstall it you have the option of keeping the drivers which is what you want

is the ituneshelper.exe running? if not, try killing that process via task manager.

Ill try and reinstall sync just for the drivers.

The options are to remove or fix, if I hit fix it just does the same thing over again, if I hit remove, than it just removes whatever is there. I'm stuck.

You can have htc installed you just have to shut it down. When you first plug in your phone htc sync will start up. In your system icon tray there will be a little phone icon. Right click it and hit exit. If htc is actually running ace hack kit won't start.

Sent from my GT-I9100 using XDA App

It's power & vol down to get into CWM once you've flashed it. Follow the thread given by Waldano. This must be done before flashing any roms.

Is there a download mode for the g2x or is the volume buttons together the only way? Thanks for all the help guys I will post again a little later with a update

If you have already NVFlashed Clockwork Mod Recovery on the phone, you don't need a PC to flash again.
Download a good rom to a microSD card, throw it in the phone, use Clockwork to flash the zip from SD.
Or if you were smart, you would have performed a Nandroid Backup in Recovery before attempting to flash, in which you can just restore your backup and be back where you were at... which then you could download a different rom so the SD card USING the phone and attempt to reflash.

I messed up huge I flashed through rom manager that's why I can't get into cwm the phone wont do anything all it will do is go to the LG screen and the one with the little android Guy and a folder

usb still not working

had anyone having problems connecting their phones to their pcs ever find a fix?
my phone still won't get recognized by my laptop. not to sure why. it hasn't been able to recognize it since i flashed to gb. my wife has the same phone stock and the laptop sees hers fine.
things I've tried:
reinstall drivers
restarts
kies
different rom
different laptop
different cables
download mode
factory resets
debug mode and ask on connection
deleting the usbs from device manager
like i say my wifes phone can get recognized by my laptop. i think the bootloaders for gb has something to do with this problem but that's just me thinking.
i get an unknown device error in device manager. also when i was installing the drivers and
hooked up the phone it seemed to fail on CSc and adb our something can't really remember

Heimdall runs on different drivers than kies or Odin. Uninstall kies and Odin then install heimdall and the drivers.

Your computer sees your device it just doesn't know what it is. I thinks this is because Odin jacked up your device drivers. many people have this issue and can resolve it by reinstalling the drivers combined with a different version of Odin. Did I mention Odin is unstable? Lol.

use the kj6 with beta 2d kernel one click. The kernel is still beta but it's stable and has voodoo cwm.

Within seconds of getting to the installation menu, the phone just immediately turns off. I wiped the phone data/cleared cache, and cleared dalvik. It does the same thing every time.

Im not too sure how to get into the fastboot portion? I find his instructions not that clear. When I plug my phone in with no battery, while holding volume up, it does not install OMAP drivers, but instead I can see LGE Mobile USB Serial Port in device manager..
Edit: When I type the first line ("fastboot flash u-boot u-boot.img") It just gets stuck on < Waiting for device >

Did you install the omap driver? You have to "catch' it fast while it shows up in the device manager, and install the driver manually. You an find the driver in those files that you have downloaded.

[Q] G2x Bricked

I have read lots of post, but could not find any post related to my issue.
After flashing different ROMs and Kernels my G2x wont boot into any ROM.
I have tried "volume up and down", it wont recognize USB.
Only way I know phone is working is that it turns on and boots only into clockworkmode recovery.
Please let me know if you know any fixes for this issue.

It kinda sounds like u may of flashed the kernel. I flashed a ics kernel by mistake on a cm7 rom and it did what you described. I used a process called nvflash.

How did you do NV flash I am not able to connect to pc? Is it possible to run the zip from clockworkmod?
Sent from my LG-P999 using Tapatalk 2

Hey man, could you give us a little more information so we could try to figure out what is causing the issue? First off, did you originally install CWM with NvFlash?
Secondly, what was the latest setup (rom, kernel, gapps, tweak/mods, etc) that you flashed and in what order? Did you accidentally format or delete something you shouldn't have? Do you have the proper drivers installed for the phone to be recognized by your PC? Since you're able to get into CWM, try doing a full wipe and reflashing rom, kernel and gapps. Make sure sure to do a full data factory/reset, wipe both caches, format /system under mounts and storage, and try fixing permissions after flashing.

I believe I had Richie MIUI rom first with Mazout360 gb kernel then then I switched to different kernel. Phone wasn't doing well with any of those kernels so I went into recovery, wiped and flashed different rom. After which my phone didn't boot and was going straight into recovery. I wiped mount data/all of them; mount and unmount /all; used volk nulifier ; used scrub. I did all of that because I was not able to use USB / power volume up and down don't work neither. I don't know what else to do.
