I have searched a bit and can't find what I am looking for. I have a rooted tbolt and not new to rooting but not familiar with the d2global(my son's phone). So I rooted via the 4z method and everything went smooth. Downloaded cw bootstrap and loaded liquid gingerbread 2.5. I am very upset as I forgot to make a backup prior. Anyway I did a factory reset, cache wipe, etc.. and loaded the rom. Now there is no service and I am stuck in aiplane mode. I am hoping there is a simple fix. Any help is appreciated.
Thanks!
Nevermind, figured it out Loaded CM7, must have been something within the liquid rom.
there is no liquid rom for the d2g, if you try installing a rom for the d2 (which i assume liquid is for) your radio wont work, which is why its always in airplane mode.
cm7, on the other hand, is made for the d2g.

i did the same thing, and now i'm stuck, i tried to do a recovery and somehow it won't let me i tried holding the power and volume down to try to do a manual recovery, cause i did a backup so i can restore, unfortunately i can't get to that recovery...if i knew liquid 2.5 was bad i shouldn't have installed that POS...any help will be good, thanks
Your baseband is FUBAR, so you need to reflash an SBF.
Instructions here.
Finding the images and RSDLite with Google should be easy enough; if not (and only in that case), PM me.
JFYI: there is no way to get to CWM if you cannot boot the OS to at least a bootloop after the point where adb shell becomes available.
Thank you
Thanks, i will def give it a try...i can get to bootloader by holding power button and both volume button...i just didn't know what to do from there...
The problem i'm having is :
phone does boot up running liquid 2.5, problem no service stuck in airplane mode
all function of the phone works just can't make calls etc without service
i do see the backup files when i open file manager, just can't get it to open up, hopefully that bootloader thing works,
if rom manager was working that would help solv e everything cause i would be able to restore, but the app is not there when loaded liquid, usually when you ask to rebbot it would give you an option to reboot or recover...oh well
thanks so much hopefully i can try to resolve it later tonight...
by the way what is CWM, what does that mean
CWM is ClockworkMod Recovery, the “custom” recovery that lets you perform backup and restore of your phone's flash memory and install various custom ROMs and modifications. See http://droid.koumakan.jp/wiki/ClockworkMod_Recovery for a bit more information on it.
Question where would i find the images and what rev RSDLite do i use 4.9 or 5.0, sorry, just asking...
Google the file names, should net you some results.
4.9 or 5.0, doesn't really matter. 5.0 is reported to work better than 4.9 on Windows 7 systems.
thanks, i got it to work....thanks so much...
Hey guys I wish my first post would be more positive but I think I've screwed the pooch. I flashed a rom for the first time yesterday (Infused v1.6.0) without a hitch and I got cocky I guess. I have rom manager, 3e recovery, root explorer all in place. Super one click to root. Well, today I tried to flash MIUI 1.1.11 and got into the red recovery screen. Wiped cache/factory reset, then wiped delvik, went to flash the rom. Now I'm stuck on the scrolling screen (I'm new so dont know the lingo too well). It says:
Installing: SDCARD:MIUI-Infuse-1.1.11.zip - Shortcut.zip
Finding update package...
Opening update package...
Installing update...
Its been there for like a half hour, with no progress showing in the bar below it. What do I do? Am I just screwed? Pleeeeeease help me I'm freakin out. Thanks guys.

Damn! you are screwed!!! go throw your phone where I can find it. LOL...I keed!
Nah you are ok. if you can get back to recovery, go to mounts and format system, then reflash miui. But why are you trying to flash an old version of Miui
I apologize in advance I'm super new to customizing. That version is the one I found first so I just went with it. By getting back to recovery do I pull the battery, then hold vol up and dwn plus power till the samsung logo? Thanks for replying so quickly.
Edit* I got back into recovery (red) and did that but it stays on the same place. Went back in to recovery (red) tried to reboot and got stuck on Samsung logo. Now back to recovery. This sucks.
I went ahead and flashed back to Infused from clockwork and everything went smooth. I would still like to get the MIUI rom so any help is greatly appreciated. I'm sure you guys have more important things to do than hold my hand through this, but if you happen to have the time it would be awesome. Thanks again!

go back to recovery and format system then flash miui, after it finishes flashing you will bootloop and again you go to recovery and reflash miui. If that doesn't help, odin back to stock http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1092021
. head over to the dev forum http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1278053 and follow those steps. MikyMike posted the lastes of miui.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1060098
Installation:
1. Place .zip onto internal SD card
2. Reboot into CWM
3. Wipe Cache
4. Wipe Data
5. Flash the ROM .zip
If your phone doesn't boot:
6. Shut down the phone
7. Reboot into CWM using 3 button
8. Flash the ROM .zip again
9. Enjoy
Known bugs:
Bluetooth is semi-working (A2DP audio skips, no sound/mic on phone calls via headsets)
No HDMI out
You'll note these two are the same bugs as CM. The two are closely related and MIUI will always have the same problems as CM (more or less). So don't ask me to fix them, if I'll fix them, when I'll fix them, when it'll be done, how many quarters go into a dollar, or any other such question.
Speaking of which, big thanks to LinuxBozo for porting CM, without which this would not be possible.
Thanks again. I clicked that link for the ROM on my phone and it took me to the mediafire site to download. Can I do it from my phone?

Hi smart people!
Just to throw it out there, I am not very tech savvy so excuse me if I misuse terms and such.
I believe I completely bricked my phone (I hope I'm wrong). After I downloaded Cyanogen through ROM Manager, my finger stumbled on the "continue" or "next" button or whatever WITHOUT checking the boxes to clear data, etc. I believe this is where I went wrong as I think I followed all other steps correctly (fyi I used the one click recovery flasher and made a back up).
Now when I turn on my phone, it goes from the stock LG loading screen to a modified LG loading screen (Cyanogen's I'm assuming) but it gets stuck there.
I've been searching on the different threads for quite a while and pressing the different combinations of volume up/volume down/power don't seem to do anything. I cannot get to the recovery screen.
Please help! I will forever be indebted to all of you. I am stupid and shouldn't have tried to do this on my own. Thanks in advance
What you will need to do is flash CWM via NVflash then boot into CWm and install your ROM.
If you flash CWM via ROM Manager it causes problems like what you're describing, I know from my own experience of following a friends instructions and doing that then having that exact issue. After getting my phone working again I then started to frequent the boards here.
As soon as I read the first couple lines I saw rom manager and saw the problem, you to search something that you have typed out all within this thread... I'm not near a computer but you should just search through these threads and you find your solution in detailed description. You need to get recovery from nvflasher just search that

reboot error
hey guys,
I successfully was able to boot into cwm and then i restored a backup from yesterday. however when rebooting, it displays the LG logo and then the screen goes black and the back light flickers on and off. not quite sure what to do now...if you guys could let me know what i should do or post a link to another thread, i'd really appreciate it. i honestly have been going through other threads but i guess i'm just not competent enough to know which directions apply to my problem.....
thank you..hopefully this is the last time i'll have to bother you!
The back-up could be corrupt and since the one time I had a problem with a nandroid was when it was created after ROM Manager sent the info to CWM, that's likely the case. Just redownload CM7 to your SD card, along with Gapps, wipe system, data and cache then flash CM7 followed by Gapps.

Have you wiped everything before restoring your backup through CWM? If not, boot into CWM, wipe data/factory reset, go to mounts and storage, format system, then go into advanced options, wipe delvik cache, then restore your backup.
I'm guessing you did a backup through rom manager, so if this doesn't work, you'll have to download a rom of your choice from the development section of this forum, load it onto your sd card through CWM although this is not recommended but you won't have any other choices, (to mount your sd card in CWM, go to mounts and storage, mount sd card), then wipe everything as mentioned above, then flash the new rom.
Or you can follow the instructions on this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1248644 to flash 2.3.3 via nvflash to get a working phone for now until you learn how to properly flash custom roms.
Hope this helps
P.S. for future reference, you did not brick your phone, you got stuck in a boot loop, you know your phone is bricked when you don't see anything on the screen when you turn it on, usually it's just a software issue, but sometimes it could be hardware, for example I burned the motherboard on my previous android phone trying to customize it lol

He's already flashed CWM the right way, and tried to restore from a nandroid. I already mentioned getting a different ROM, he's already stated that he got this all started trying to flash CM7. Please read the posts which have already been made, we don't need the same information being posted again, if someone already posted something and you feel it needs clarified then clarify but from what I can tell you read one post and that was it.

I really hate posting anything that doesn't have to do with anything phone related but I just couldn't stop myself from replying to your post!
1) I actually read all posts in the thread!
2) I did not in any way suggest that he didn't flash CWM the right way, I merely asked if he had done a full wipe before restoring his backup!!
3) Your reply was submitted while I was typing mine, so I'm sorry I didn't check the thread again before submitting my reply!!!
4) I'm well aware of what he tried to do already, but thanks for repeating it!!!!
5) If YOU read all previous posts you'll notice that my post does not exactly replicate any other, there's some new information in there that the OP might find useful!!!!!
6) From what I can tell, you need to work on your english and comprehension skills!!!!!!
To the OP, sorry for trolling your thread with this post, but I just couldn't help it, and to Bonk I hope you'll be the mature one and not reply to this post.
Is that to say you're immature? If one were to judge by the number of exclamation marks you have I'd say yes.
The only "new" thing was asking if he wiped before the restore, which, at this point, would be useless to ask as I already told him to make sure to wipe.
To the OP: How goes everything thus far?
thank you
that's what i ended up doing and it worked. thank you so much for all your help!

And dalvik cache for good measure, even though it is stored on the cache partition and will probably get wiped when you wipe cache. Sometimes it's good to overdo thing's.
Unable to do anything!
Well i was playing with the phone, rooted and kept playing with different ROMS till i would have found a good stable one, but something happened, I ended up not being able to use any functions in cwm (apply update from..., backup and restore, install from zip). I wiped data/factory reset, cache partition, dalvik and i have the ROMS inside, i can see them in CWM. just can't read them. or any zip i use. what happened? is this bricked? if so do i have to go from scratch with the phone and use SDK?

UNROOT help
Hello again smart people,
I was hoping we would never meet again (for the better) but unfortunately i must unroot my phone to receive work emails. I have tried unrooting my LG G2x multiple times but to no avail thus far.
Here is the process I have tried:
1) boot into recovery - wipe cache/data factory reset, wipe cache partition, wipe dalvik cache
2) restore - using stock rom i found online
3) flash stock recovery image using nvflash
4) (attempt to) unroot using superoneclick - AFTER GOING THROUGH MULTIPLE STEPS, IT SAYS "TRUE" UNDER "CHECKING IF ROOTED". (also, i know it is rooted because it says the phone already appears to be rooted when i try to root again).
Do you guys have any idea what the issue could be?
Thank you in advance...
Ok so I'm relatively new at trying to root and hack phones as well as adding custom roms. I searched all over the forums but could barely find anything related to my problem, and if I'm wrong i do apologize for re-posting. Anyways I rooted the phone using superoneclick and it all went fine. So i then decided to try and install a custom called CyanogenMod 9 onto the phone with Rom Manager. I'm guessing I did not do an extremely important step and now i fear my phone is bricked. I put the ROM into the root of the SD card, went into ROM manager, and trid installing the ROM. It all failed and now my phone is stuck on the same screen on the bootup where it keeps restarting itself telling me Failed installation factory reset failed and it restarts factory reset. The phone is from T-mobile and its a Mytouch Q. Any help would be very wonderful!

Hi, Are you able to get into the CWM menu? If so, Do a "Factory reset" clearing all data. Then clear the /cache partition and the davlik cache in the "advanced" menu. Then flash the rom again. If that doesnt work try clearing everything again and installing the default android 2.3.6 LG rom and take off again from there. My end advice? Dont flash this phone, its a peice of absolute crap
