Alright so my G2x was working fine last night. I flashed it using ROM Manager (BIG Mistake), and I booted into the recovery and installed the EaglesBlood Gingerbread file. I first wiped the data and then wiped the cache and then wipe the dav cache and then installed the Gingerbread file. It worked so then the phone rebooted and the new LG logo popped up and it froze. I left it for 10 mins and then I did a battery pull and booted into recovery. It was the stock so I couldn't do anything. The power button wouldn't press anything. So I then used NVFlash to restore everything and nothing worked. Now it won't go into the recovery. It just boots up into a White LG Logo and stays there forever. I've tried MANY MANY threads and guides. Please someone help me with this.
Flash CWM via NVFlash then flash your desired ROM.
NVFlash with CWM in one easy package:

will that only wok with xp? I have an xp computer and I installed the drivers but now it won't read it anymore. Will it work with windows 7?
anyone? Someone please help me.
NvFlash is possible on Windows 7 also, just take out the battery, hold both volume buttons down and connect the phone to the pc if you don't have the APX drivers installed it should say unknown device then just point it to wherever you downloaded and extracted the drivers to then after it recognizes the device open the OneClickRecovery and choose which one to you want flash

Alright I got the clockwordmod Recovery v5.0.2.0 touch on my lg. Im on it now but I don't have a backup to restore from. Any ideas on what to do now? I don't care if I have to reset the phone back to factory state and lose everything.
Nandroid of 2.3.3 unrooted stock ROM unzip it and move the folder to your CWM backup folder

Alright I'll try that and I will get back to you. What steps should I do to install the backup? Like should I format anything or wipe before?
Download the zip, extract the folder to your ClockWorkMod/backup folder then just select that folder when you're doing the restore feature in CWM
- Make sure when you extract the zip it doesn't make a V21E folder inside a V21E folder then the data, I archived it on Windows and selecting the "extract here" option makes only one folder but it looks like the android file explorers will make another V21E folder due to the archive being V21E.zip
Im having troubles even reaching the recovery menu now. Everytime I try to get to it, it gives me S/W Upgrade screen.
EDIT: Nevermind I got it now, so now its restoring the system. I guess we wait.
Alright the restore is now done. Do I just reboot the system? Also is it possible for you give me the 2.2.2 version of the restore? I can't find it anywhere on google.
UPDATE: Alright I have everything working now, and now I can finally use my phone again. SOOOOOO HAPPPY Thank you soo much.

Ok I have a massive problem here. Last night I decided to use the 1 click universal root app to root my phone and flash it to get CM.
I downloaded the app did the root, downloaded clockworkmod then did a clockworkmod recovery. After that finished i was given a pre-root option to backup my phone and wipe data/storage.
I only chose back up my phone. My nexus one then rebooted and proceeded to backup my phone then it went to install CM 6 RC2.. After this had finished it then rebooted and went to the multicoloured animation where the colours ceom from the left and right..
Here it would continuously loop and never do anythign else. With this I pulled the battery and loaded into recovery where I was in ClockworkMod. I then proceeded to use the recovery and as it was doing the recovery it just froze and the progress bar nor any words would come up.
From here I pulled the battery again did a soft/hard reset but it would hang on the loading animation again. I then did a wipe data/clean option and now it just hangs on the X logo.
On my sdcard I still have the clockworkmod folder with the backup, nandroid, system and all the other files as well. Vodafone Australia have no stock of the Nexus One at all and won't be getting anymore in since it's a finished product
I barely have any cash for a new phone and need to know asap what to do to fix this problem! If anyone can help!
When you installed Cyanogen CM6 did you install the proper baseband also or you just didn't write it down for us? If you had 2.2 on the phone before you rooted the baseband is ok for CM6.
Did you try hooking your phone with USB and try if ADB interface works? If your computer sees the phone via fastboot?
IF fastboot works, you could always restore your stock recovery and install a stock FRF91. (And then try again with CM6, this time installing the proper baseband AND WIPING like you should when installing CM6!!)
When installing custom ROMs always read the install instructions whole first then install.

I rooted my HTC Desire CDMA from USCC okay, flashed a Froyo ROM with USCC stuff, and everything was okay. I made a nandroid backup, flashed CyanogenMod 7 RC4 and it seem to work okay, except I was having trouble entering my password when checking voice mail. Anyway, I decided to go back to Froyo. I used ROM Manager to restore the backup and got into ClockworkMod. However, none of the options work. If I go down to recovery, I go to the next screen, but no matter which option I select I end up with a black screen and nothing happens! I can't restore my backup! If I just try to press power on, I end up with the blue CyanogenMod screen and the arrow just goes round and round. Nothing happens. Please, if anyone has any suggestions, it would be greatly appreciated.
I remember hearing that because CM7 is a Gingerbread mod, it must use ClockworkMod v3 and to go back to your Froyo backup you'll need to downgrade to Clockwork Recovery 2.x. I'm not sure if things has changed, though, this was what I read a month or two ago.
Are you by any chance able to fastboot?
Reflash your CWM (if you are using NAND version) or get it again on your SD (if your are using SD version).
The problem is I can't do anything in ClockworkMod (version 2.5). Every option I select gives me a blank screen! I made a nandroid backup before flashing CyanogenMod, but I have no way of getting to my backup if I can't use ClockworkMod. Also, if I try to boot the phone, i just get the CyanogenMod 7 startup screen with the arrow going round and round. It will still be there 30 minutes later. I have to do a battery pull to start over with anything.
I was able to boot my phone after wiping all user data. I would like to use my nandroid backup to return to the previous ROM, but clockworkmod doesn't seem to work. I tried reflashing it in ROM manager and it only downloads a second or so and isn't really doing anything. I'm wondering if clockworkmod is defective. Is there any other way to flash it again without using ROM Manager?
If you are able to fastboot, you could try to restore a nandroid by flashing three files (boot.img, system.img, data.img) from your nandroid backup using:
Code:
fastboot flash boot boot.img
fastboot flash system system.img
fastboot flash userdata data.img
Disclaimer: I've not actually tried this procedure before! I got this info from here
You could use a similar procedure to flash a new ClockworkMod since your recovery may be corrupted: fastboot flash recovery recovery-clockwork-3.0.0.5-vision.img
You can download the image from Koush's website, under HTC G2.
This happened to me yesterday trying out the Alpha Build for the Fascinate. I was getting a dev block error and datadata would not mount. I had to go back to stock on heimdall. I don't know if this helps for your phone, but maybe somone with more knowledge can tell you if this may be happing to you and what the fix is, if that's not a fix for you.
So just a while ago i tried to download a Cyanogen Mod nightly off Rom Manager for my G2x and I backed up my stock rooted rom of course before going through with the wipes and everything and it seemed to have gone though very quick and when it booted back on all it did to my phone was wipe it and pretty much restore it. Now when I go try to Manage and Restore backups nothing is there! So in other words the Nightly didn't go through for some reason and for another weird reason my Backup I did right before isn't there and showing up either. I know it's there also because I checked under Linda File Manager and it's under my Clockwork Mod file. Any ideas or thoughts?
Try moving the backup from internal SD to external SD its in a file called clockworkmod

it's already in that folder. this isn't my first time flashing and backing up before and all but this is the first time I have on the G2x and the first time i've ever encountered a problem like this. is there something i'm supposed to do to make rom manager work completely? i remember i used to boot into recovery a couple weeks back and I wouldn't be able to properly navigate and choose what I wanted but then now when I randomly tried today it worked and i was able to boot into recovery perfectly through rom manager but for some reason my backup won't show up and now I'm a little scared lol
have you not tried search yet. If you did search then you would have found that Rom Manger does not work with the G2X you need to use the recovery flashed from NVflash to do backups. So you have to boot into recovery by holding down vol-d + power. If you have not flash recovery from NVflash then do not do the vol-d + power or you will hard reset your phone.
I have the Nexus S from Telus.
It was rooted, unlocked, running CM7. However I've been having issues with it freezing and decided I want to go back to the stock rom.
I ended up downloading what I thought was stock ROM for my phone (Stock GRH78 Nandroid Backup in this Tutorial http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=884093) however after it flashed my phone, I ended up with a phone which was essentially stuck in Airplane mode, would not connect to Telus. I'm guessing that it has the wrong radio for my phone/carrier?
So then I ended up finding a zip file someone posted Stock-GRJ22-i9020A-unsigned which should have worked, I ended up flashing the zip file from recovery.
It said it installed fine. Rebooted, and now the phone just cycles the Samsung Loading screen endlessly.
I tried to go back to recovery, and it gives me yellow triangle with !.
Is there any way to flash the recovery image back to the phone?
I plug the phone in and the PC won't recognize a device.
I installed the Android SDK
Ran the command adb devices, no devices attached to the PC.
I tried fastboot devices - blank
I don't know how I'll be able to get files back onto the phone SD Card for flashing etc...
I had the exact problem two days ago...flashed an image that jacked my phone up. Wouldn't boot past the google logo. Sat there indefinitely.
Read this thread and see if you can get it work. In a nutshell, you need the PDA net drivers installed. Since PDA net can't install the app on your phone (because it's not booted into an OS) leave the install program in limbo and voila, fast boot will work. From there, push the recovery.img (google Clockworkmod recovery image), boot into recovery and you are off to the races.
This is, of course, assuming you already have a ROM image on your internal SD card you can flash to get back up and running. I'm not sure how to install a .zip image ROM if you can't gain access to your SD card.

Good luck, I know the feeling. It blows.
Ah, just found out how to install a file on a phone that won't boot.
You do need to flash CWM recovery first though.

Good news! I tried a factory reset/data wipe and rebooted the phone.
It doesn't hang anymore, all functions restored and the phone is working on Telus again!
I guess I had to format data, clear cache, before the flash of the rom.
So relieved.
Issue has been solved!
I tried to go back to a stock rom and unroot my device by using the steps on the forum. What i have now is the unit comes on the asus logo shows but when it tries to boot up the screen is just black nothing happens. If i try to use an sd card with any thing on it doesn't read it. None of the files from the card show up in the menu. if have cleared the cache tried using the backup image that was on the device when i got it but still nothing. If you can help I would be grateful. I'm a noob to this rooting stuff. The only reason i brought it rooted was because of the price, I could not pass it up but after not getting some of the apps that i wanted to work if assume a rooted device is not for me.

What instructions did you follow? Is the bootloader unlocked and can you boot into it? Does adb work? Need more info if we're going to help you.
It is rooted with
aokp-tf300t-build-38.
Android ver 4.0.4.
Kernel 2.6.39.4 g2bf1397-dirty.
Build IMM761.
bootloader unlocked
I was looking around in cwm menu before I tried to install the stock asus rom. Just going thru the menu's looking trying to familiarize myself with cwm. I went to backup and restore menu and there was Zip there. I hit to power button instead of the volume and it starting restoring the device. After that i have not been able to get it to do anything after the asus screen. But I can get into the menu of cwm. When i tried following the adb, i go into cmd on my computer and change directory it tells me the device is not ready. I tried putting a zip on a sd card but I cant get it to show on the device to install.
Try a factory reset in CWM, see if that helps.
tried the wipe data/factory reset several times with no luck. It goes through the process but still does not boot to any thing after asus logo.

Can you flash a different ROM, maybe the stock one?
Had the same problem. Tried to flash stock from Twrp recovery.
Wipe do a factory reset, wipe system and than flash the aokp rom again.
Then reboot and when you are back in System you can put the rom you like on your internal SD.
Back to Recovery and flash the new rom.
I got adb working and it come up in devices list. How do i flash the aokp rom on the device. I'm learning this as i go along, after this i might get the hang of this . I cant seem to push files using adb either my directory is wrong. I unzip it into a folder (C:\romfolder\aokp_tf201_build-38.zip/sdcard) and all that comes up scrolling page of commands and help for adb when i push
this is the zip i dwl could not find built 38 for tf300 so i got tf201
http://aokp.co/index.php/releases/_/build-38-r24 also how do i make it an image to flash or can i download and image

Do not flash a 201 rom or image. Thats for the prime. Never flash roms designed for another device no matter how similar they are.
ok I downloaded this on
http://goo.im/devs/termleech/tf300t/aokp_tf300t_unofficial_20120617_2100_build-39.zip
have to go to bed but when i get up this afternoon will try to get it o go to device.
How am I suppose to get it to the device if the sd card does not show up on file list in cwm?
Can you still use ADB? You can always push the files with that.
how do i use adb to push the file on to the device itself. because i can add it to the sdcard by just putting in on there and then placing sdcard in device but the menu as far as install zip from sdcard never shows any zips that are on the card itself. Only thing that shows up are list of directories that look like a standard list from cwm. Also if you choose any of directories from that list it returns no file found. If I choose apply update on sdcard no matter how many time i have called the file update.zip says "no such file or directory install aborted". Or how do i push and image to the restore section of the device and where do i find an image at?
well still no luck. I think I will give it a few more days and if I still cant get it guess will go to best buy and buy another on. Any thoughts on Toshiba excite?
Try this i posted a tutorial on how to fix this http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1738825 hope it helps
