"said it was bad" - pretty ambiguous - you need to give EXACT errors when reporting bugs, or at the very least, more descriptive than that.

and still you installed hellraiser?
If you are stuck then use unbrick pakage.
also mention which version of darky's rom you were trying to install.

I installed darkys 10.2 extreme addition rom.

BTW if hellraiser was successfully installed, he should be able to enter CWM without doing an "unbrick" back to stock using the three-finger trick.

Hanging on Shutdown or Restart

When I try to use the power menu to do anything related to shutting off the phone (shutdown, restart, recovery, etc) it hangs as it's shutting down and freezes on the home screen - this just started last night. The only thing that ends up shutting it off is a battery pull.
Anybody else experiencing this or know what's up? I've cleared/formatted/wiped and loaded a couple of different ROMs to see if that helped but the problem is persistent.

That's not possible, man. You can't flash a different cwm in cwm. You tried to re-dl the touch version?

OK I got cwm touch to work right finally. But it still froze on restarts and shutdowns. So I wiped cache partition and dalvick cache now finally the phone restarts and powers down as it should.. so its confirmed now that to fix the freezing at shutdown/restart problem is to flash cwm touch. Also seems that the only version of cwm that works right with this version of ics is cwm touch. The old version will function but its possible that it will cause little bugs or quirks.
Thanks xcrazyd for the help now we know for sure what the deal is. I guess the touch I downloaded the other night was corrupted cause I just downloaded and installed again and it worked great....

[Q] Can't flash any GB Roms... From ICS

So I'm on He'll fire Sandwich 1.9 and every time I try to flash a rom that's GB based it keeps saying "installation aborted (bad)"
I've downloaded it from my G2X and from my computer multiple times and it says the same each time... Wtf someone please help.
Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using xda premium

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)?

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.

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

I'm sure somebody knows an answer to this, but I'm just gonna say it. You need a case.

Way to respect the OP by still making the useless reply and besides don't you think it's a little late for a case?
And do a search

I
So first register at www.sammobile.com, then search SGH-T769 under firmware and download the August 2012 ICS or The Feb 2013 ICS Firmware, wait for the download to finish (took me 30 minutes) then extract which ever firmware zip you downloaded then using Odin click on PDA and select the .md5 file which is located in the extracted ICS Firmware Folder that you've downloaded from sammobile.com
Download the PIT file here
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1919228
Click on PIT in Odin and then select the one downloaded from the link above
then make sure re-partition isn't checked and start the flashing process after it is done flashing and reboots you'll have stock ics to root it simply follow the instructions over at the root ics stock thread found here
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1919228
This will flash a custom recovery and once the recovery is flashed using Odin reboot into recovery and flash the superuser.zip then you'll have Rooted Stock ICS Firmware or if you want you could just skip flashing superuser.zip and just flash a custom rom.
*BOOT LOOP MIGHT OCCUR*
To fix boot looping after flashing stock ICS just boot into stock or custom recovery and wipe data and cache then reboot and you're good to go.

try jt's kernel kernel in cwm before you flash jb - try once or twice..just for s/g

OK, question I pulled up the log from cwm a few times and it kept saying something something about mtd which I know is a partition arrangement it is possible that it's just not re writing positions correctly? If so I probably need to learn how to check md5 checksum
