What happens when you try to get into download mode (holding down both volume keys and plugging USB in without pressing power key? )

ok iheld down vol. then plugged in usb,came up with down load screen,but not sure what to do now

Are you familiar with odin
Sent from my SGH-T959V using xda premium

yes,i have it on comp.already

phone saya downloading dont turn off target!!!Should sd card and sim card be in phone?because there not.I Thought i did my homework but i was wrong

OK cool. All you need to do then is go to the dev section and find an Odin flashable rom and follow the directions in the thread. What rom were you on when you flashed the Bali kernel?

I don't think it matters if they are in or not

just stock with root tibackup pro

Did you have cwm recovery installed that krylon posted in the dev section?
Sent from my SGH-T959V using xda premium

I installed rom manager from market.

Rom manager does not work with the sgs4g. Head over to the dev section and grab an Odin fladhable rom. Follow the directions and your phone will be up and running in no time at all. The kc1 rom will give you a completely clean slate to work with. Reroot then go the krylon360s thread cwm final to get the working recovery. From there you can flash the Bali kernel.

should sd card be in phone?also can i leave phone in download mode while i do this.Thanks i app. all the help ill prob.be up late fixing this.

I don't think it matters if SD is in or not and the only way to Odin is in download mode. With Odin running plug your phone into the computer. You will see a block on the left side of the Odin screen turn yellow. Then place the files in the correct spots. The thread you get the rom from will tell you where they belong. Once they are in place hit start on Odin and let it run its course.

What exactly were you trying to put on the phone? You don't need a cpu to flash a rom. Where you trying to flash CWM?

I flashed a rom but phone didn't boot up so I'm trying to unbrick my wife's phone now

I know that if I can flash cwm through the tool I will be ok but can't get my phone into sw mode or download I will try ur suggestions and get back to you thanks
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

Are you using CWM or ROM Manager? If the answer is CWM, did you use ROM Manager or NVflash?
Also, have you tried a different ROM, or just the same one?

Basically what the first reply was, but wanted to add in so you know,
If you used ROM Manager to do basically anything, you need to NVFlash CWM and than always use CWM to flash anything. ROM Manager does whats called a fake flash of CWM.
And than yes, which ROM(s)?

trying that now....

well i tried flashing stock and it works but when i rebooted after the LG boot Screen the screen is all black and the backlight just keeps flashing on and off... any suggestions?

Search the G2x development forum for Batch Cleanup Tool. Run that, then flash a stock ROM. Boot that ROM once, then try a custom ROM.

I downloaded the cleanup batch and ran it.... proceeded to install the stock ROM and still stuck on a black screen with the backlight flashing on and off. I think I've tried everything to fix it and nothing works....

Which stock ROM are you installing? Have you tried downloading it again, to make sure it's not a bad download?
Also which CWM are you using? if you're using touch, rev ert back to an older version
