Okay, so im returning back to Stock ROM for G2X because CyanogenMods version is horrible at the moment (too many glitches and freezes!)
I put the Stock ROM (titled LG-P999-V10.rar) back into the recovery folder of ClockworkMod folder.
It DOES appear on my SDCard that i have it but when i go into recovery, it does not show.
Why is this?
Move it to the backup folder and see if that works...

Hey thanks for snapping at the one person who was trying to help you. I understand you are frustrated, but come on... the OP says you put in the recovery folder. I was clarifying that it should be in the "backup" folder.
Also, didn't you do a nandroid backup before cm7 like everyone suggests?

Taking a wild stab here, but did you un-rar LG-P999-V10.rar and place the contents within your cwm backup directory on your sdcard?
Sounds like you just dropped the .rar file onto your sdcard -- it doesn't work that way.

It should be in the external sd card , it should be un rared and unzipped into /clockworkmod/backup folder .

How does it work then? I extract it to a folder or what?

Did not snap at him, I said I tried that and failed. Yes I did do a backup but when I recover it, it fails to boot into the actual ROM
You guys, i faced 2 problems and i dont know why
When download the .rar, when i try to extract it, it says "No files to be extracted"
So i thought, okay, ill drag and drop them into a folder. After doing that, went into Recovery and it said no files found, it said that for my other 3 backups to....

Use 7zip to extract.

1. As far as I know, recovery only recognizes .zip files NOT .rar
2. Not familiar with CM7 so I suggest after converting to zip file, try putting the zip file in BOTH (SD Card & Internal Memory)
Hope this helps.

I had to unzip if and place the folder in the restore folder under cwr. To restore use the restore option under recovery, not the install from zip

So none of your back ups are recognized? Sounds like something went wonky in your recovery. Here is what I would try, but I am not an expert. Redownload the stock rom(probally from TGA's post) to your computer, unrar it to a folder named whatever, p999-stock, mount your phone or pull the SD card and use a card reader and place that folder in the "backup" folder of clockwork mod. Reboot into recovery and see if that works.
Failing that, reinstall cwr...
If no go... do a clean reinstall of cm7... wipe everything, install, I wipe cache again because I am ocd, fix permissions. Reboot, set up, load apps and fix permissions one last time...

Im going to try that right now... thanks!
I looked for an answer before posting but couldn't find it and hoping someone can help out. I rooted my rogers skyrocket and installed ClockworkMod Recovery. I am trying to install a new ROM but when I boot in recovery I cannot see the .zip file on the SD Card but I can see it in file manager. Any ideas or solutions?
Is the zip on the external or internal SD?
rocketed to da sky using mah brain and mah thumbs...
If on internal u have to select install from internal

Its on the external card.
Is it on the root of external sdcard? Excuse me for asking the obvious question but a lot of times its something silly that's been overlooked.

Yes, its on the root of the external SD card but I can only see the folders and no other files.
Look at the file format. Make sure its .zip and not .zip.zip. sometimes copying files from your computer to your phone will do this.

Its .zip and not .zip.zip but I am only seeing it in the file manager or on the computer when the phone is connected but in CWM all I see is the folders of the SD card and no other file.
This is really starting to piss me off, I downloaded about 5 different roms and none of them is showing on the SD card in CWM recovery in order to install. Is there any other way to install the ROM or anything I could do to see the files in CWM? I am sure the .zip file is on the SD card and I can see it when i file manager but once I go into CWM to install I cant see it. If anyone had this problem and has a way to fix it please let me know. Thank you.
I think I found a way to do it and its through Rom manager, there is an option to install ROM from SD card I clicked it and now i think its installing. Hope it works. I'll post my results in case someone has the same problem.
Solved the problem. I can only flash new ROM from ROM manager.
Try flashing cwm again or flash touch cwm.

Having an issue all of the sudden with clockwork. Recovery being able to see files on either internal or external storage. I can see folders just fine but when I select on it says file not found... any ideas would be appreciated.. I reflashed recovery already but that didn't work.

I used Odin to install CWM on my Galaxy Tab 2 10.1. When I boot into recovery and try to select the cwm-root-gtab2.zip file. Do I need to rename it to update.zip so it will take it? It is in the root of the sd.
No
You do not need to rename it just flash it

Ok, I redownloaded the file but it still won't load. Maybe its because I have 4.04 OS on mine?
install zip from external sd

Thanks, put a micrso sd card in it with the root zip file. Got it installed and now it says the tablet isn't rooted. Seemed like the install when fine with no errors mentioned.

After getting the root file installed I tried SuperUser and it wouldn't work, said it needed to be updated but then it couldn't update. Did some more reading and found I had to go to playstore and re download SU. Did that and now it is rooted and working right.

Try recopying the zip again from the your computer to SD card.. If that doesnt work check wheter the zip is completely downloaded.. verify the size of the zip online to what you have..

OK. Did you format your SD card / partition your SD card anytime? Try to backup your SD card and then format your SD card once again and copy the zip back from the PC to SD and try flashing
I'm on my tab
Flash New recovery and try.
