do you mean the firmware

Mostly, your download isn't proper...
To check, just try to unzip file on windows comp...if its unsuccessful, then re-download...

do u flash cwm via odin?
Sent from my GT-S5670 using XDA

Try downloading any of custom ROM once again...and flash it through CWM..if it doesn't work reflash the CWM again and try flashing ROM..if it also doesn't work try installing any other baseband(DXKT7 or DDKT3 or anything) through odin and try the same again.

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)?

Try flashing a different ROM, like stock, and see if the problem persists

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....
Sent from my LG-P999 using xda premium

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

[repack] CM nightly 25122012 for new Wkparks bootloader

This is repack of CM10 to work with new Wkparks bootloader it is for use with new partitions (ICS) and Wkpark bootloaders for everyone who doesnt want to downgrade to GB or has truble with it.
How to use:
1) You are on ICS
2) flash recovery
3) flash Wkparks bootloaders
Download zip and put it on sdcard, download gapps and put it on sdcard
Go to recovery wipe data, cache and system
Flash ROM and gapps.
Reboot
Bugs: CM10 bugs
And one most inportant: DO NOT ever from CM10 menu reboot to recovery.
You will be stuck in recovery bootloop.
Only way to fix that is to flash Xbsall bin.
Reboot to recovery by holding buttons.

Great work!
Finally I will test drive CM10 on my mobile, couldn't be arsed to reflash back to GB!
Do you think it's too much to ask if you could port nightlies with some periodicity, like twice a month or so?

I will update.

Ah ok so I guess I shouldn't update the nightly unless it comes from this thread?
By the way great work, loving it. Only had one little glitch when booting, funny looking twrp screen flashed up then it booted into CM10
Sent from my LG-P920 using xda app-developers app

Yes, if you use this one wait for my update. That funny looking screen at booting is known for CM10, it is the last screen that you see when you reboot. Remember not to press reboot to recovery you will brick it. Reboot normaly then use key combo to go to recovery.
And dont thank me, thank to acree hi did all the work. I only make it to work on new bootloader.

[ICS] How to downgrade kernel

Guys, I've been using iBluemind's BlueKernel II for ICS, which is based in Linux version 3.0.62.
I want to try another kernel based in Linux 3.0.21, and I can't.
Flashing any 3.0.21 kernels makes my phone stay an LG gray logo at boot, system just won't start!
What should be done to allow that downgrade?

Try to reinstall the rom and then flash some other kernel.

Actually, I did the opposite, and it worked.
First flashed new (3.0.21) kernel, then flashed the rom.
Thanks!

So rom came with that version of kernel because flashing rom overwrites kernel files.

I don't think so, flashing the rom kept de kernel I flashed before.
