Weird CMR Boot Issue - T-Mobile LG G2x

hey so my g2x has this thing where each time i try to flash an update or zip after a clean install and initial boot, it won't boot up and continue to boot into CWR...So if i want to update my phone or rom I'll have to reflash the stock T-Mobile rom and then install CWR and then install any zip i need.... It's just kind of a hassle honestly.... any suggestions? and yes i have tried reflashing CWR many times using different programs to nvflash it correctly...

Are you flashing Harsh's kernel?
Which recovery are you using?

i have harsh kernel flashed and i have tried flashing different versions of CWR but right now im on the experimental touch version

Don't use the touch version, it has bugs and doesn't support ext4.
And it's CWM standing for Clock Work Mod. I don't know where you're getting that R from.

would recommend that you install EXT4 recovery rather than CWM
simply download file onto SD
boot into CWM
and flash ZIP file
CWM works just fine, you just need to make sure you wipe everything before flashing new ROM, ie data, cache, dalvik cache, etc, then all is good
Just wanted to add that I to ended up in a bootloop, and I've had miui 1.8.5 installed since it came. It stopped after about 10 reboots. Dunno know what's up, had a lot of FC's as well these last few days.
Looking forward to tomorrow for am update! Cheers!

I also had some problems with 1.8.5 version (random reboots). I am still using the 1.7.29 version that is working great. Only theme chooser FC's.

[q] g2x roms and kernel problems!!! Please help!!!

I have a problem i am running the rom Bionix 2 - The Legacy Continues - RC1, i like it and everything but when ever i try to flash a kernerl from CM or Trinity my phone either doesent boot at all or if it does the is no haptic feedback, no internet and nothing is working plus the phone is super slow. Ive tried the install a different like CM7 but i get a message that say that installation aborted, Ive also tried Eaglesblood the rom flashes but when i flash the kernel to that rom it still doesent work. Someone please me i wan to overclock my phone. Im on 2.3.3 rooted and i have the newest CWM i think is 5.0.2.0 or something like that the blue one, IDK if that has anything to do with it
You could try a new ROM first then the kernel. When I flash I wipe data, cache, dalvik the format /system then install ROM then fix permissions then restart. When I add the kernel I want I wipe cache and dalvik then flash the kernel then fix permissions and restart. Some of these steps are extra but I have only had 1 problem before and that was because I didn't wipe dalvik before my kernel.
Also, is bionix based off of cm7? Even if it is some kernels might not work, they could have modified it enough that it makes cm7 kernels not work.

I already everything that you explain the only thing that sounds unfamiliar is the "fix permissions" i dont know what that is. I dont know much about the rom here is a link to it http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1080045 I tried flashing other rom but it doesent let me it say s instillation aborted when i try CM7 or anything else the only rom that i can install is bionix or eagles blood im new at this. I see kernels that allow you to oc to 1.5 an even some that let you get to 1.56 and i want my phone to be able to run them
Fix permissions is in rom manager (app for the phone) and cwm. Did you flash using nvflash or rom manager?

I flash everything from CWM because some of these kernels cause my phone to boot loop. I fixed the permissions but still no luck
I flashed with NV Flasher

[Q] Bizarre CWM problem on TF101

When trying to update my TF I accidentally flashed an incomplete Rom (got lazy and didn't check MD5...) Anyway, ever since then it ALWAYS boots into CWM (5.8.3.4) If I boot w/Vol DN and let it cold-boot then it will go into a fresh install and setup fine. However, on the next reboot it will go back to CWM 5.8.3.4 I have flashed the newer CWM 6.0.1.4 v2 but it won't "take" the install seems to go fine but it always boots back to the old CWM. I've also flashed other ROMS and they don't "take" either.
Confused...

Install different recovery... use easy flash and push either TWRP recovery or rogue recovery... personally I prefer TWRP recovery.. once you have a new recovery wipe everything ( internal memory also) and install a better ROM...

[Help] Problem With ROMs after Factory Reset

So I have the LG Optimus V and was running a custom Stock ROM. I was going to give it to a friend to use so decided to use the factory reset in the phone...whoops.
I'm using ClockworkMod Recovery v3.2.0.0 and every time I try to install a ROM from the zip file on it it just goes back to Clockwork after a reboot.
I've tried using the ROMs listed here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/wiki/LG_Optimus_V/ROMs (besides MIUIv4 and LeWa Port) to no avail. I just keep rebooting back into recovery after it says it was a successful install.
I've also tried getting into a workaround using fastboot but I believe the condition my phone is in right now won't allow it. I can't boot up to the fastboot recovery and other issues have arised.
So is there anything I can do or am I boned?
Thanks for reading and any feedback

Are there any other recoveries for your phone
AFAIK new ROMs don't support Clockwork Mod 3.2
Try updating the recovery to the latest one available i.e maybe 4.x for your Optimus V
This problem happened to me some months ago
I reflashed the recovery using terminal emulator

[Q] Was using CWM then suddenly TWRP shows up...

I have installed several roms on my infuse all the way up to Beanstalk 4.4.240. I decided to go back to Beanstalk 4.3 and have been there for a couple of days. I have made several CWM backups along the way and when I decided to use one of the backups I discovered that my phone was booting into TWRP recovery instead of CWM. Bummer....How do I get back to my CWM?
ROM manager seems to be no help. I have installed Recovery Tools but not sure how i need to use it (I see now that recovery tools is not compatible with the Infuse).
I really want to get back to my CWM recovery. Right now I am sitting on Beanstalk JB 4.3.1009 and TWRP Thanks! Kevin

I tried flashing a couple of cwm zip files with the TWRP recovery but they failed. I ended up just reflashing another rom and then used the fresh cwm to restore one of the backups I had done.
I am new to this hobby and I have been rooting and flashing several phones and roms. Two S3's, two Infuses, a Captivate and an HTC Inspire and they all have had a few different roms installed. I have soft bricked a few times as well along with a couple of IMEI recoveries too. But, having TWRP show up for the first time was a new suprise and I became more confused when cwm would not flash from TWRP.
Thanks for the response!
