Did you use ROM Manager to install Clockwork Recovery Mod? If so, that's part of your problem, I think, as ROM Manager does not work properly with the G2X. You have to use NVFlasher and the One-Click Recovery Mod to properly install Clockwork Recovery.
See this thread:

Hopefully that will get you on the right track. You may also want to double-check, before doing this, that your phone is correctly rooted.

I wanted to know if there was any difference between accessing CWM via holding down the SGS4G buttons during boot and opening Rom Manager and telling it to boot into CWM.
Thanks,
Jeremy
The CWM version from ROM manager is broken for our phones. If you're on Froyo I recommend you uninstall it and then install the Bali 3.3 kernel so you can get a working version with voodoo etc.
If you want to be able to reboot into recovery, you can download the quickboot app which will let you do it without the 3 button combo.
OK. The CWM I used is one I downloaded from an xda article. I had to manually copy it to /system/bin.
The version is 3.2.0.0
If use that to flash will I be OK?
Thanks,
Jeremy
EDIT: never mind... I uninstalled Rom Manager and rebooted the phone to recovery using the quick boot app, then when I went to reinstall packages, I got into the version of CWM that everyone is referring to (3.0.2.8).
Thanks,
Jeremy
Good...yea dont use ROM manager it just causes a lot of problems

Ok just got this phone and have decided to go with Phoenix Blood rom, but how do i start? I have to be on froyo to root? Im coming from samsung epic on sprint that i flashed so im not completely retarded. Thanks for any help
Use superoneclick to root on froyo.
If your on 2.3.3 gb there's a flashable. Zip in development section to root.
Also you will want to use tgagunnmans nvflash method to install clockworkmod recovery in dev section.
Phoenix blood is a great choice btw, enjoy!

You're still on Froyo? To my understanding it's a good idea to flash the OTA GB first so that you'll get the up to date baseband. Once that's done just go ahead and flash PB.
no im on gb jsut thought i had to go back to froyo to root, so i just flash clockwork mod then pb and thats it?

Yes, but make sure you're using NVFlash to get CWM. Don't use Rom Manager.
Easiest way is using the tool unlockroot. It supports gb on the G2X. Or you can use nvflash, whichever you prefer.

If he wants to change Roms he will still need Nvflash regardless how he gets it rooted.

From that thread:
Flashing the custom recovery using NvFlash is the only way to ensure that in the case your phone will not boot up, you will be able to get into recovery to fix the issue / flash a ROM / restore from nandroid backup. That is what this app will do for you.
If you flashed the ClockworkMod recovery from ROM Manager it does not flash the recovery to your phone, it fake flashed it. The only way you can gain access to ClockworkMod recovery is through ROM Manager at that point. Using this method is the only way to flash recovery so it is persistent and accessible booting to recovery.
If you have already flashed through ROM Manager you can still proceed with this method. Flash Away!
(You can use both ROM Manager CWM and have the nvflashed version working together. You just access either or one at a time, having the nvflashed one means you can boot to CWM. Welcome to Tegra2)

Follow the link. This is a must for tegra 2 based phones. It is always better to be safe than sorry and it also allows you to do a ton of other things, such as making backups and flashing roms. Let us know if you need help. The phone is pretty much unbrickable after you do this. It gives you the ability to recover from any major mistake.
Its in the dev thread, it low level flashes clockworkmod recovery to our phones internal memory partition. You need to install apx drivers first in order for the g2x to be nvflashed.

thanks for the help guys got it all set up
Just to add in, nvflash allows u to boot into cwm recovery whenever u want and u don't need to be next to a computer. I think that is how it worked for Samsung phones and Odin, where u needed a computer, but haven't used a Samsung phone so I could be wrong. Remember always make a back up of everything and play around with the different roms, not every rom works for everyone
Sent from my LG-P999 using xda premium
Actually Odin is just like nvflash. It is used to put cwm on you phone and to put the stock recovery back on.
Once you have cwm you can flash what ever rom or kernel without the need for root. Just back up your stock unrooted stock rom before flashing anything else.
If you do that you will have your own stock backup with no need of finding it in the forums if you need to go back to stock.

So I rooted my 2.3.3 g2x through v.2.3.3 superoneclick and was wondering if there's an alternate way to permanently flash clockwork recovery instead of all the APX and NVFlash processing.
So I downloaded ROM Manager from play store and flashed the clockwork recovery (ClockworkMod 5.0.2.0) (specifically for my g2x) and it successfully installed. NOW, what would I do from here if I wanted to permanently install clockwork recovery? (Without the APX NVFlash process) If its even possible? Thanks in advance!

The only way is with NVFlash. It won't flash permanently with ROM Manager.

Plus flashing clockwork mod thru ROM manager is not recommend Ed for this device. If things go south, you can't unbrick your phone.

this can be "unbricked" very easily, soft bricking the phone from rom manager is the simplest way to do so, all you have to do is flash CWM the proper way and flash a rom and you are "unbricked".
There is no other was as one of the fellow members already stated. It's easy if you read the directions.. The hardest thing with this getting your computer to recognize the phone. Make sure you have right lg drivers installed

OK I got a new G2X after the charger port in my old one from T-mobile. I root it with superclick one then download clockwork from the marketplace. I try to boot into recovery and then the phone hangs. When he does not hang it says install of update fails and wont let me flash my rom. Did clock work change or am I doing doing something wrong?

That one from the market is a no go for this phone. That recovery (I assume via ROM Manager) simply not gonna stick.
Go to this thread and flash the recovery using Nvflash:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1056847
This question should go to the G2X Q&A section, though.
Good luck!

Aren't both Clockworkmod and ROM Manager abandonware?

Abandonware??? What gives you that idea??
In the play store ROM Manager was updated the 16th of this month, and if CWM was also abandonware then no newer devices would have been getting CWM on it.
Is that a legit question or are you trolling? I find it hard to believe someone would be calling it that.

First, the best way to get CMW of any version is by using the NV Flash ( Search that up ). Then you can boot into recovery by pushing the power button (the one on top), and the volume down button ( Its on the right side). It should boot into recovery perfectly after you do this. Tell us if it works!

Agree, Best way to flash recovery is Thru NV flash. Its a little complicated but ones you get the hang of it, its easy than you though
ROM manger can flash recovery but not always does a full flash, so best way is NVflash.

The nvflash put you back to stock download the rom you want boot into recovery wipe cache data flash rom flash gapps .should be good you might need to reflash cwm recovery if you pushed the wrong button in nvflash.

Rom manager doesn't work on this phone since you nvflash back to stock it cant gain root access hence your error.
