Possible Bricked G2x No NV Flash Back Up

I was flashing CM 7 nightly 49 and now my phone is stuck on the LG logo, how do I fix?

After reading all the steps req'd to "Flash a Rom" and "recovery" process, what part isn't working?

After going through the NV flash process and getting to the last step that says
Keep holding them, as soon as you see "ANDROID" in Green with the new boot logo let go of the buttons.
From there it goes into boot recovery. I then choose from one of the roms I have on my SD card, it loads okay but then when I try to reboot it hangs up on the LG logo again
What am I doing wrong

we def need more info then that like what recovery how did u install the rom did u wipe data then cache then dalvik? then install rom and gapps? did u install any kernels previously? and this is probably going to get moved it should be in general

ok when u go into recovery do u wipe data factory reset, then cache, then go to advanced and wipe dalvik then install rom and gapps and it should boot up fine, did u make a backup of ur stock rom first?

Damn. for one month on XDA you sure do have a lot of posts
On topic: I'm assuming you forgot to fully wipe before flashing the new rom.

If you can get into recovery, it's not bricked.
Read the install directions, you missed a step or got a bad download.. Or a bad build, as they are nightlys...
In recovery, do factory reset, then mounts and storage, select format system. Then install the rom.
Also, get the stock nandroid and put it on your card so you can drop to a known good setup.

I had back it up using rom manager but its on another computer. I took had gotten a SD card with more storage and never transferred it.

You could copy the backup from your computer and make a folder called clockworkmod/backup/ on your new SD and put the backup file in that folder. When you go into recovery, backup and restore. restore - it should be visible. Select it and you should be OK - IF your backup is good.
If not, download a ROM and Gapps with your computer and put them in the root of your SD. Then after a full wipe, flash them.
If you have the latest Recovery, you can mount storage and then cut and past to your device while connected. If not, or if you have any problems moving them, just take it out and do it while it is plugged in your computer.
You have several options - so one of them will work.

Want to thank all you guys. I got it working again.

[Q] I did something bad in ICS

I thought I could flash a theme to the stock ICS leak. But apparently that doesn't work because it's not de-odexed. Is there a way to de-odex the stock ROM on my phone? If not, is there a way to undo my theme flash (I forgot to make a backup ). Or, can I go back to stock ICS by just flashing the Odin one click ICS leak?

If you're not worried about losing anything try factory reset. Sometimes themes will stick, if it does just flash through Odin and your good to go.

Yeah, I tried the factory reset. It didn't do anything. I'm not worried about losing data though. I have everything backed up with Titanium. So, I can flash directly from Odin without clearing cache, etc through CWM?

Themes do not work on odexed . Period. Flash one of the custom . Deodexed ics roms if u wsnt a theme
If u flash the collective ics rom . You will not loose data or anything. Just download and flash. It will sort out your issue. And give u a good rom check it out here. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?goto=newpost&t=1548469
Its the 4.0.3 ics rom at the bottom of the op

I'm a little confused. Do I just flash it in CWM without wiping anything, or do I follow these instructions?
1. Make a nandroid backup, it is always a good idea
2. Have your apps backed-up with titanium
3. Downloadrom, and place onsd card
4. Shutdown, and boot to cwm recovery
5. Wipe data, wipe cache
6. Select mounts/storage, and choose format system
7. Flash rom
8. Fix permissions
9. Reboot.
10. Enjoy

It could be done if you are upgrading your ROM, lets say from hellybean previous version to next, if you want your all apps messages and contact backed up and installing any other custom ROM, you can do it by TITANIUM BACKUP, after wiping data and installing custom ROM restore your backup data by TB..

[Q] Unfortunately "<system app>" has stopped

Hi there, i am newbie here and this is my first post. So i'm not quite sure if im following all the forum rules properly or if im using the right terms to explain my issue. Please overlook the same and help me asap.
Im using a Canvas 2 a110, rooted,
I had installed some custom rom,
the name is like MMX_JB Stock rom or something,
i am not able to access my phone so i cant check either.
In the process of troubleshooting, i have now installed the Thunderzapv2 kernel
Please let me know if any more details are required.
The issue
Out of nowhere, my phone just popped up a message saying "Unfortunately, Launcher has stopped".
I did a reboot and it was still the same.
Now since the launcher isnt working, i cant get around the apps or do anything.
I try to open the Settings app from the notification panel, but then a msg saying "Unfortunately, Settings has stopped" pops up.
If there are new messages, i can open the Hideitpro app, but i cant click a single thing coz the Launcher error notification
keeps popping up. And i ve to press Ok and any app that is open closes.
So basically i cannot do anything but press the power button and switch off. And i have no idea how i messed up my system files.
I created a backup in CWM. Deleted all system and user data and flashed the same ROM again.
Then i could use the phone like new. But the issue is that i really need to get some of my messages and contacts back.
So i entered CWM again and chose Advanced Restore. Then selected Data from the options.
I only needed the data so thats all i restored. Did not restore system/cache/boot or any of that.
I reboot thinking all my data will be back with my system files back in place.
However, i get the same errors and issues again like before. So now i only have the option to either forget all data
and use the phone as new. Or keep the data when the system files are corrupted somehow.
Please let me know how i can restore my data and make my mob work properly again.
Thanks and Regards.

Hi there,
Don't worry about it, it can be cured as before. Just answer my questions as accurately as you can:
1) How did you take the backup and how much was the backup file size?(complete step by step process that you followes and which ROM was installed in your phone when you were taking the backup? If possible, which kernel was installed at the time of taking backup?)
2) Which ROM you flashed again?
And how?
3) how you tried to restore the data back?
If you can give some more information which can help, please provide.
And, don't worry about it. Your phone will work as before :thumbup:
Hit thanks button only if this was helpfull in any way:thumbup:

Hi there,
Currently i have installed the same old custom rom i used before and the phone is working.
But as mentioned before there seems to be no way to restore my data.
1. I created a backup after the phone system files got corrupted. Using CWM.
The backup i scurrently in my external storage card. Ext/clockworkmod- two folders (backup & blobs)
The total backup size is 1.09 gb.
The custom ROM (rooted) that i was using and have currently installed is Micromax_a110_jellybean_stock_cwm_paplu3
I have been using this rom for more than a year now.
Backed up data using the backup option in CWM recovery.
The kernel that i had at that time, i dont remember at all. It may have been something like 1.xxx. But im not sure.
The kernel i currently have is Thunderzap 2
2. The current ROM is the same. I just deleted all system and user data after taking backup and installed
the zip file using the "Install zip from sd card" option in CWM.
3. Tried to restore after flashing by going to CWM, selecting "Advanced Restore", and then "Data"

Hey. NO! NO!
I have not found a fix. I could make my mob work by flashing even before. Thats not the problem.
Let me try to explain in brief.
My mob suddenly crashed all of a sudden. And i could not take a backup.
The only option i had was to flash. So i did that by taking a backup from CWM.
I flashed the mob and now its working. But i am not able to restore data that i backed up using CWM.

Hi nyazmohsin,
You said your phone is working now so, i got confused.
If you still have the backup file in your phone, try doing this:
1) goto CWM --> backup and restore --> restore --> chose the backup file
--> restoration process will begin --> let it complete.
Note: Donot go for advanced restore
2) Now after the restore is complete --> wipe data/factory reset --> wipe cache partition --> advanced --> wipe dalvik cache --> reboot system
Try this and let me know if this worked.

Did not work
Even if i restore data as said above, and then if i do a wipe data/factory rest, wont that remove the data i restored in step 1?
Just an amateur doubt.

Hi,
Try these steps and check if the phone is working fine after the reboot.
If it's working fine : goto CWM again and restore the backed up file again > then this time don't wipe data/factory reset > just wipe dalvik cache from advanced.
Check this and let me know.

Out of despair, after trying out the previous procedure I flashed the SUVI rom.
So should i do the above mentioned steps now?
Would it cause any issues since the backed up data is of the custom Jelly bean 4.2.1 rom and the current rom is SUVI?
I can flash the previous rom again and try this procedure if required.

Hi,
Dude you said u had mmx stock jellybean ROM which is supposed to be 4.1.1 and now you are saying it was 4.2.1. You are creating a huge confusion
However, if you want your data back, flash the stock jellybean 4.1.1 by paplu3. And, then follow all steps carefully as i mentioned.
It' all your wish, and if you don't want the data back you can continue using the SUVI ROM.:thumbup:
Note: Everytime if you'll keep on changing the ROM and kernel, none of my solutions will workout for you:thumbdown:

Tried doing the same from 4.1.1 rom but it did not work.
Switching back to SUVI. There seems to be no workaround
