[Q] (I think) I bricked my LG G2X - General Questions and Answers

I attempted to install my first rom on my phone today but accidentally cleared the cache instead of the dalvik cache. Now I'm stuck with a LG boot loop and the rom i want on my 32gb external SD card but the phone doesn't recognize it when i try to install a zip file from sdcard. This does have an internal SD card of 8gb, which i am pretty sure i wiped clean when i wiped the cache. Can anyone help me from here or do i have a nice shiny paperweight?

[Q] Damanged SD Card

I have loaded up Vegan TAb on my Viewsonic G tablet with no major issues. However, after a file copy it is giving me a "Damaged SD Card" and asking if I want to reformat. I'm taking this to mean it will reformat the internal SD card. Is there anyway to recover without reformatting or should I do a Factory Restore with Clockworks or recover from my initial backup?
Tablet is working fine even with the error message. Any tips or ideas on this issue?
Thanks!
Well to impatient I guess. I went into Clockwork and did a factory restore, but that didn't work. Then I went back into Clockwork into system and mounts and formatted the SD area. Now can boot into Vegan Tab and mount via USB. The drive is wiped clean. I take it that the 13GB's you see is just for data storage and that APP and OS is on a separate partition?

Sd card won't mount after format

I was trying to flash a stock rom and wiped the dalvik cache and the cwm couldnt mount or format my sd card. Android and windows could so i umounted the card and formatted it in android. Now I cant mount the card and it says "blank or unsupported file format".what do i do?

I had this problem when I first got my phone, before I even flashed a thing. It ended up just being a junk SD card. I ended up formatting the card like seven times (with the phone a few and in windows a few) -- in the end it wouldn't format at all and failed every time. I called Verizon to get it replaced and they redirected to me SanDisk. I had to send the card back for a replacement.

[Q] SD card wipe

Hello!
I would like to complet wipe my SD card.
I'm running offical ICS 4.0.3 with Team win recovery 2.0
I see that there is a wipe -> SD card and also SD ext
What will happen if I press the wipe SD card? SD ext?
I want to completly wipe my device and than install Android Code name + Matr1x
what will be the steps of complete SD card wipe?
Thanks!
A quickway is to boot into fastboot and type
fastboot oem lock
fastboot oem unlock
That will completely wipe your SD card/factory reset.
and then just mount SD copy the ROM and flash?
So for what the WIPE SD CARD stand for in the recovery?
Since you plan on using CNA, look through the first few posts, you will find links for Dalvik wiper and ROM wiper from Brainmaster.
There are many ways to do the same thing, like the post earlier, using ADB to clean the SD card, you can also mount and format your partitions, or you can use the above zip files from recovery to do the same thing.

no external sd in recovery

i have my rom on my external sd so that when I wipe data on my internal it wont erase it, but when I go to apply zip from sd card it give no option for external. Only when I go inside the internal I see the obvious folder for external sd, but theres no files. I dont want to transfer my rom to internal and then it disappear when I wipe system and data before I flash the rom.
oh yeah....v2.5.1.3 cmw

you will need the zip file to install your rom on the internal sd, it will not install from the ext sd....when you do a wipe of data it will not erase your int sd, believe me I have a ton of files on my inter sd, with lots of zip files of roms that I have install.
so what you have to do if you have already wiped and you are sitting on the red CWM...is plug the usb cable to your phone from pc, after you are in cwm go to mounts usb storage...hit that, you should see it the inter sd pop in your windows explorer, copy your rom to install over to your phone, then do your wipes it will not take the files away from your inter sd...then install your rom...
the only way to errase all the information from the INTERNAL SD, is going into CWM, advanced options, erase or delete all the information with the options on there
i just booted into stock GB and did a factory reset with a format usb. After it restarted, i put the rom on my internal. I wanted my internal to be wiped clean before i installed. You just dont know the crap left behind from old roms.
I think it's because of CWM is not mapped correctly. Correct me if am wrong.

SD Card isssue

So I got the 32Gb samsung Sd card. Had a 16Gb in my phone. Wife had 8Gb in her skyrocket. Took my 16Gb card, copied all data to PC, then put 32Gb in my phone. Copied all data from pc to new 32Gb card on my phone. All good. Then took wifes phone, copied all data to pc. Installed my 16Gb in her phone, erased all data. Installed all her data off pc to 16Gb card. All seems good. We both have the Skyrocket SGIII R4 on phones with CWM recovery. HER phone will recognized SD card in CWM. MY phone cant mount SD card in CWM. Why wont my phone with new SD see it in CWM? Do I need to format it through windows?
SD card works in all other aspects...connects to windows, restores from mybackup pro....Put the 16Gb back in my phone with all her data, and CWM will let me install fron SD card.
What format is the sdcard on, fat32?

Tried formatting thru phone and copy data back on, but same thing. CWM says cant moun E sd card...
Tried reinstalling CWM. Wont mount sd card
What CWM are you using?
Try using this one: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1566613
And make sure the microsd clicks with the spring when you insert it on your phone.
Flashed that in odin, booted into recovery, chose install zip from sd, select. Then it just flash the clockword screen over and over every 3 seconds....
Went back to CWM i think 5.0.2.6. And sd card "clicks" in place.
BUT....I went to mounts and storage in CWM, and chose mount sd card. Went back to install zip from sd....and boom, theres all my zips!

Haha nice, I had a problem with the later CWM not detecting my sdcard so I went and flashed back to the old one and it worked just fine, didnt really have to remount but I guess that was needed on your end. :good:
