First I want to thank the Dev. For making nebula Rom and xda for these awesome forums, which saves us epic 4G users from the bloatware on stock epic ROM.
Well onto my question I'm somewhat a newbie to this process and I would appreciate if someone can with somewhat detail explain the process..
I want to back up the current stock Rom and know I need to Root my phone I'm going to using z 4
Root or is cwn better? Then I will back up with clockwork.
After would I have too wipe my current installation (how??) Then I know put nebula Rom on my SD card and need to know the button combos to hold on startup.. and I guess install from the bootmenu?
Am I missing anything?
Thanks again!
Anything I'm missing?

First off, are you trying to modify or root any of the software on your device? Second, Have you tried loading the recovery rom by pressing down and power and hard resetting the device and restoring it to factory defaults?

Ok, one step at a time...
-did you flash a tmobile rom on your skyrocket?
-if you did, did you also flash the t989 skyrocket converter patch?
I'm assuming you have a computer. In order to fix your phone, you will need Samsung USB drivers, Odin and a Stock ROM tar.
Before you even start, take a few breaths, and READ all the instructions.
USB drivers can be found here:

Odin can be found here:

Stock Syrocket ROM tar can be found here:
http://dl.dropbox.com/u/144478/Stock%20Recovery.tar
Read all the instructions carefully. Take your time. If you still can't get it figured out, let me know.

Stop flashing stuff
Look in dev section
Your not reading or you would see instructions to root. Add cwm and everything u need. Theres even guides called noobs guide that tells u how to do everything. So no sympothy. Because you are not even trying to find the answers
I've got root and cwtouch recovery from reading here..I do appreciate everyone's help..thanx.

i agree. New users should read everything before doing anything. I was silent stalking this forum for at least a month before i posted. And ussing the search feature never hurts either
HI
This is the first time i have bought a smartphone that one wasnt windows and to didnt spend all my life hacking a nd playing with it. bought i i9000 when it first came out and just never got the time to get into this world again.
But im not sleeping tonight untill this baby gets a new brain froyo slowing up big and needs a new lease of life.
Im on T-mobile and have the oringinal froyo from tmobile. i have bricked a few phones in the past and dont wont to do it this time.
This is what i need to do and have highlighted wht i dont know.
Make sure you're on the latest CWM - dont know!
MAKE A NANDROID - dont know, have read up on it doesnt make sense??
wipe data/factory reset in recovery - should be ok
flash ROM - should be ok
flash Gapps - should be ok
reboot - easy!
Thank you and sorry if there is a how to out there! cant find it!

ok so here is the deal. my g2x is crashing like the hindenburg several times a day, very frustrating. Tmobile won't help since it's out of warranty. I need all the help i can get when it comes to doing any rooting and/or mods to the phone to get it to stop crashing so much. i have not rooted the phone yet, so advice on the best way for a numbskull like me to do it (superonecilck?). then, advice on what would be a stable mod or rom or whatever you call it to install on the phone so i stop being so frustrated. now mind you, whatever rom/mod etc that is recommended please make sure it is so easy a 2 yr old could do it, because i know me..i WILL screw it up!
any and all advice is welcomed. i am beyond pissed at this phone now and i need to keep from throwing it at the wall. Tmobile won't budge about helping to replace this, only grant me the full upgrade pricing early, so i can give them another $150-300 for a new phone, while new customers come in and get stuff free.
thanks to any and all who respond.

Have you installed the latest V21y software? That seems to have cleared up lots of the problems some people were having with the g2x.

i have not tried that yet....now that I know this I will try though. Anything is better than giving TMobile more $.
I first used this to gain root access:http://www.unlockroot.com/index.html . It's a simple one-click process.
Then I followed this guide from step 2: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1060715. I personally used CyanogenMod 7.2 http://download.cyanogenmod.com/get/jenkins/2856/cm-7.2.0-p999.zip .
Optionally, you can also flash a kernel: Trinity ELP(http://goo.gl/XqDn2) and Faux52 LG (http://faux.androidro.ms/P999-CM-Kernel-052-sv-lg-stable.zip)seem to be the most popular... Instructions to flash the Kernel:
[ Installation procedure: ]
1. reboot to CWM
2. Clear cache
3. Advanced, clear Dalvik
4. install zip from SDcard
5. Reboot
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
If one of the kernels gives you issues, try flashing the other one.
I'm pretty noobish to this as well, considering i only flashed my phone a couple days ago, but I used this procedure and it didn't give me any problems at all.
Thanks. We have full detailed guides listed for new owners in the development settings. Some people have issues with faux 52 kernel, if so try using 48 or 50 in place of 52.

Never had arbitrary crash problems with my unrooted stock g2x on either original Froyo or GB update. If your phone still has problems after the GB update you might have an app problem, or a hardware problem. Update to GB, strip all Apps, and see if it works. If it does, add the apps back in one at a time. If not, toss it.
