LG P999 doesnt accept rom,kernel,root always goes to cwm. - T-Mobile LG G2x

hi guys i was using my phone with cm7 rom and cm7 050 stable kernel i just wanted to change my kernel. I tried to install harsh kernel from the CWM ( i got cwm by rom manager) and i installled harsh kernel but it said SD CARD DAMAGED so i couldnt use camera etc. I got cwm by same method after that i installed my old cm7 050 stable kernel. But phone has not been starting since i installed my old cm7 050stable it always goes to cwm. I tried a lot of combinations (kernel+rom, rom+kernel,just rom, just kernel.) I started to use NVFlash since my phone always gets cwm. After all i did stock recovery.(NO ROOT after that step BECAUSE I DID STOCK RECOVERY) My phone was not going to cwm anymore it was going to somewhere i think back up screen and stock there. i again installed stock rom and kernel. My phone goes to cwm always.
what do i need to do.
thank you..:crying:

Don't use ROM Manager to flash CWM. Use NVflash, then try to flash everything. That should do the trick

ok. i will let you know what happens.

After that if u need cwm just install rom manager from the market and flash cwm recovery from it.
I could tell u a more direct approach to all that but I m telling u the linear way so whenever u mess up the device and want quick solution u know u can flash this gb v21e rom.
After u r in control of rooting , cwm flashing, n nvflashing ... just search for anything u want in this g2x forum and play with it... as long as u r not frying the device using extreme overclocking ..( which I can tell u this device is capable of sustaining but NOT RECOMMENDED) u r safe

Your first line was terrible advice just saying^.^
To the OP, never use ROM Manager to flash CWM because your probably gonna end up with the same situation again where something goes wrong, always use Nvflash to flash CWM, its always much much safer and its recommended by pretty everyone in these forums, so if you wana go around hacking and stuff on your phone never use ROM Manager
Hope this helped

Lol actually u forgot the fact the Guy did use nvflash earlier and messed up the device .... its all about how u want the people to learn. As I mentioned ealier its not a direct method but Cwm through rom manager always works if u r reading it right. I.e when u don't have cwm flashed before and choosing the right model.... I didn't wanted him to accidently flash a imcompatible cwm or stock one as he did ealier only to get Bck where he started .... dun think everyone is a pro .... the guy needs learning space .... let him play with what he has. He will get into groove by himself .
Next time please read the OP's situation first then respond rather just bouncing in on a post

NEVEEEERRRRR use ROM Manager to install ClockWordMod EVER.

The only thing rom manager is good for on the p999 is downloads roms. Don't use it for cwm please it doesn't work u need a computer and nvflash only way it works. If you are using rom manager it will eventually brick
Sent from my LG-P999 using xda premium

Like most people said. Use NVFLASH to backup and to load/flash ROMs ONLY.
BTW I recommend you to use the Hellfire Phoenix ROM. It is based on the CM7.2 and it works without changing our Windmobile baseband.

need some help

hello all,
tried flashing using cwm the new rom that's floating around...tried wiping always getting stuck at the galaxy s 4g boot screen. Well i can't boot into recovery, sort of freaking out here. I hold the buttons and it just goes back to galaxy s 4g screen not into recovery like it usually does. Any ideas?
Even if u cant get into recovery as long as the device will go into download mode again then ur okay! Just reodin the KD1 whitehawkx if thats what u where on. Sucks starting all over but thats the price we pay to test. Good luck my friend and never fear your device is not bricked it is still recoverable.

Odin back in..from there look into krylons cwm recovery and back up..the official cwm back up and restore results from other members dont seem to be doing well. After that you should be able to restore and not have to worry

is kyrlons cwm recovery and back up a different thread?
yes it is a different thread i believe its called CWM Final. Im running Stock KD1 from whitehawkxs, fota&fugu tweaks plus the gb theme and the bali 1.4 kernel... pretty smooth..
on another thought you probably should have posted this in the general section. just a heads up..
Good advice depackers1 but i think he was already using CWM and had backups but he got himself into a bootloop that wouldnt allow him to get into recovery so he couldnt use CWM. In this case if a person cannot even get into download mode then u will have to use a jig probably.
And kkoshko1 since it seems u are starting from scratch and u said u were on stock rooted so i assume u mean KB5. I would recommend trying whitehawkx KD1 ODIN. U might as well update to the best rom we have right now. KD1 is still stock but has some improvements from KB5. Hope that helps.

okay update. IT WORKED LIKE A F*CKING CHARM! lol booted up just fine. You both deserve metals, i was worried for a minute but thanks for your help and all you guys do!
Sure thing brother! Glad we could help!!!!!!! Odin will always be your bestfriend. Since u were on stock here's a couple more suggestions. Try out drhonks bali kernel. It will save u a ton of battery life and open the door for a few other awesome things that u can find out in the bali thread. U can also free up some internal storage with the fota fix. Try the apk that one of our members created. Also try the fugu tweaks. It will make your application processes much faster. Welll have fun bro and im sure glad u got her up and running again!

[CAUTION]To all users who are running ICS..

Caution:
When you are running ICS on you mobile do not downgrade directly to GB using ODIN, if you flash any GB ROM (Stock/Custom) using ODIN your mobile will be bricked.
Live example is myself i have bricked my mobile by do this.
TO avoid this first you restore previous backup using CWM and then flash what ever you want using ODIN.
Even Unbrick your Galaxy R. 2. Downgrade bootloader to v2.0 guide wont help you, I have followed it but no use I have successively flashed stock rom by using this method but still no luck ..
I've created this thread to help all our users who are running ICS, Sorry I've haven't see that one more thread is there for this if you think its duplicate please ask Justin to delete it..
Thanks! Have you managed to un-brick your machine?
Actually, flashing thru odin is Samsung things and it will increase the counter. So, almost every time, I will customize the ROM to flash thru normal CWM flash zip process. At least, I am just 'copying' files to /system/ and all operations are controlled by the updater-script

Yes Ardatdat. I do the same thing. For all the Stock ROMs which i flash via odin, i used to make CWM package. I used to do that so that always i dont have to depend on my PC. Not for the baseband, But atleast for the PDA and CSC part.

Thx for the info buddy. Like to know once thing. When u tried to downgrade to GB via odin, what was ur ICS system info. Is it rooted.? Deodexed? Rooted Kernel? Because I feel Kernel is the problem here. The Kernel that came with this ICS is not a safest one. Ardatdat can speak more about it.

Yes, I would love to, but without the kernel source, I could not do much things. At least, I would not get the kernel src before Samsung provide the official ICS update.

[Q] some help..

"Hi guys, newbie here..
Its been very frustrating for me to upgrade my current ROM on my xperia LT15i to CM10.. every time i follow the steps on installing the new ROM an error always occur. I suspect that the kernel im using is not compatible for CM10 and CM9.. so im stuck with my ICS ever since. i used to have a samsung GS1 and i never had problems on switching to whatever ROM i want.. but now Xperia is a different thing for me.. no ODIN.. only Fastboot and etc.. some help pls about the kernel.. and some steps how to do it right.. thank you guys.. my phone is already rooted and i have CWM recovery installed and used X-tools ... thank you..
Do you have unlocked bl?
Or you can't install cm Roms
And kernel is inside Rom zip!
It should be something like 'boot.img'
Sent from my MT11i using xda premium
...
i think BL is already unlocked before if i can remember.. i followed the instructions on the Sony site for unlocking BL.. uhm.. the latest cm10.zip has a kernel inside that i can use you mean? im really sorry coz im quite new .. so some terms needs to be spoon fed to me like step by step.. thank you for replying Ghost.. what should i do then? flash the boot.img inside the zip file of the rom? you mean should extract it manually then flash kernel via fast boot or odin?
Yup,flash that kernel inside Rom zip via fastboot not Odin!
It's ok! I understand you're new here!
Sent from my MT11i using xda premium
wow..
wow you reply soo fast!
so i will extract first the boot.img file from the cm10.zip file then flash it via fastboot then do as normal installing roms through the CMW ? by the way , does the kernel inside the cm10.zip already have a CMW of its own? so i could proceed to installing the ROM and the Gapps?
sorry guys..
im really sorry if im asking too much questions about details.. pls understand that im trying my best to keep up with you guys here in this wonderful forum. thanks by the way for the replies. thanks Ghost! hope to hear from you soon...

Lol,luckily I was ol when you asked!
And ya you're right!
Flash via fastboot kernel
Rom with cwm
And ya,the kernel or boot.img has a cwm already so no worries
But Gapps you'll have to search and install from somewhere!
Install Gapps for JB....

[Q] [SOLVED] HELP installing ics rom

I have had this phone before but i just got another one.
i used stock one click to get it to stock and then used antonX no oc uv one click to get cwm.
im trying to get RR rom but i cant do that if im not on ics before flashing RR rom.
i try and install cm9 but it just stops at the logo screen (left it there for about 25 min just to make sure). so i thought about using slim rom since i can just get cm7 then install slim then finally RR rom, but cm7 gives me a boot loop. i went back to stock and got cwm before installing cm7 and it still gives me a boot loop. plus i can't seem to get into cwm when in boot loop ( ik that u need to flash cm7 twice to get it working )
any help on getting cm7 or cm9 on my phone??
if anyone can help me on getting RR rom on my phone that would just be great!
EDIT: just a bad motherboard...switched it and it works fine
what is the RR rom. Never heard of it.

i took the latest cm9 and flashed it on my phone after i one clicked to stock with antonX and it is now stuck on the galaxy s 4g logo.
any ideas as to why this keeps happening?
Re: [Q] HELP installing ics rom
I booted all the way kj6. Then completely booted into the new cm9. When I flashed rr I wiped everything and flashed it twice (weird habit I got) Booted fine. Works fine

when you installed cm9 do you have to manually pick reboot or does it just reboot for u automatically? reason i ask is that when i try flashing cm7 or cm9 it just checks bml/mtd (i think thats what it says i can't remember) then it just goes black and reboots to the logo. when i flash cm7 it gives me a boot loop from the galaxy s 4g logo to team acid logo then loops it but when i flash cm9 it just gets stuck on galaxy s 4g logo.
i don't see whats wrong with this phone, it seems like it doesn't want to flash anything cm related..or aokp but valhalla final worked fine

Re: [Q] HELP installing ics rom
What version of cwm are you using? I thought AntonX has 5.x.x but I can't remember anymore.. anyway it has to be 5.x.x in order to work, if it's 3.x.x then it will fail. If you're using heimdall one-clicks the one I like is Eollie's cuz it works every time, I don't even boot the rom. Just until I see pink stuff and battery pull then from recovery flash whatever.

Oh and it should reboot itself into the new recovery in the middle of flashing

Aww what?! Wait, the pc or the phone motherboard?
I wonder if we're gonna start having compatibility issues with new hardware

[Q] Rooting Infuse from Gingerbread?

Hi all
I'm new to this stuff and want to upgrade my Infuse from Gingerbread (which I installed via Kies when the update was finally made available) to Jellybean. However, from what I've gathered, I can't use the Super One Click program to root my phone with 2.3.6, and since I'm new to this, I don't want to brick the phone. What would you suggest I use to first root the phone? I have found plenty of stuff here, but I am unclear whether I can use the stuff posted since I've already upgraded to Gingerbread (vs. the 2.2 stock). After that, am I correct in understanding that I then just back up my info via something like Titanium Backup and then pick a custom ROM I like and flash it? Thanks, and sorry in advance for what I am sure are really stupid questions.

thanks! so just to confirm (sorry, i am still unclear about all this stuff): i download odin and whatever option (you suggest c), along w/ the kies drivers. i install the kies drivers on the phone, then reboot in download mode and run odin. and this will take my version of gingerbread and make it rooted? does it wipe the data off my phone? if so...is there any step along the process in which i can back things up? if it doesn't wipe the phone, after its rooted, i can use one of the programs (like titanium backup) to back up my data, and then install whatever ROM i want, right?
thanks again for the help!

Well with the option C u will get gingerbread 2.3.6 with the red CWM recovery and root at the same time so u can istall a custom rom and yes this procedure will wipe your contacts, messages, apps etc. To use titanium backup u must be rooted there is a way to back up your data i gonna look for the link and share with u.
