Hey fellow G2x's. I rooted my phone today and attempted to install CM7 nightly #56. FIrst of all...
I tried just downloading the rom via rom manaer, clicked wipe data and wipe cache. When I did it tried to install and asid "Could not open cm7nightlyetc..." And then it proceeded to reboot itself as if it was a new phone.
I then tried to do it via recovery. First whenever I click install from zip card then choose zip from sdcard, the only file I can see is LOST.DIR/ even though I deliberately moved the rom into the sdcard/. I was met with the same problem.
During both the encounters. a triangle with an ! appears, with a little android dude next to it. WHat does this mean? What do I need to do to fix this?

First rule of G2X/Tegra2 club... don't use Rom Manager. Use CWR for all your flashing needs. *Install CWR via NVFlash only.

Alright, I'm sorry but I came the G2.... And I was wondering what NVFlash is? I'm gonna google it, but it will be nice if you answer it too.

Setting up NVFlash
Here's the guide to setting up NVFlash. It's a moderately challenging process, but it's seamless after getting it put on your G2x. This is the only way to get CWM without issues. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1054492
Oh, and remember to go into C: on your computer and make the folder "G2x". This is where you put the files from NVFlash.

First - the above is the truth - learned the hard way by many.
From the "triangle" comment, I would have thought you were not able to get into recovery anymore, but you said you had tried flashing in recovery - are you still able to get into recovery? Also, when you said you moved the file to the SD - internal or external?
You could re-download the ROM on you computer and/or move the one you downloaded when in USB connect mode if you can connect through USB. and then try flashing it again.
Otherwise - did you do an nandroid back-up first (add that to the G2X Club rules). If so, and you can get into recovery, you can restore it through recovery. If not, you are truly back to square one (except for rooted).
At some point, you need to NVflash a real recovery. The one-click method in the Dev section is the easier way to go. If you can't get into recovery (you only see the triangle and it only does a factory reset), then you HAVE to start there.

Yeah I am still able to get to recovery mode. And external sdcard.
I think i'm just gonna go staright to the NVFlash way. I have a history class today so I have a hour and a half to burn.
And thanks guys for all the inputs.
I'm loving my G2x so far. So fast and sleek

All you need to do is NVFlash once, just so you can get into recovery on a bootloop (Power+VolDown)
After you install NVFlash once, you can use RomManager all you want (I do).
Rom Manager will install a temp recovery initially, but it won't affect your permanent NVFlash recovery. So just do both. Rom Manager will work perfectly fine without doing a NVFlash, but an NVFlash just enables the option to get into recovery on a cold boot.
Every day, I launch Rom Manager and it will find the latest Nightly and download it plus Google Apps, prompts for Full Wipe, Backup, or Cache options, then it will reboot, flash the items, and reboot back into Android.
So, again, NVFlash just enables Power+VolDown to get into recovery but Rom Manager works great without it. You SHOULD do BOTH initially and just get it out of the way.

Alright thanks. I just installed via NVFlash and now I will try again to install CM7

Agree with all the above (I have and use both), except for making nandroids, which was not mentioned above. The only ones where I have had a check-sum issue with trying to restore are nandroids I did with ROM Manager. I would stick with doing them straight from recovery.
Others have had issues with flashing nightlies also, but I have not noticed that as I always head straight to recovery to flash.
Question - I had flashed real recoveries with ROM manager on MT4G - why the "false" recovery issue on G2X?

So player, once I have NVFLASH and CWM, I can download ROM manager to backup/restore/flash any ROM from the list without worrying about anything?

Hey, I installed the 4.0.0.3 and I still have the same problem. I can't see any roms I put on the SD card, and when I try to install it by naming it update.zip it gives me the same error. Any ideas?
OKay so here is what happens
Installing: /sdcard/update.zip
Finding update package...
Opening update package...
E:Can't open /sdcard/update.zip
(No such file or directoy)
Installation aborted
THere is definately a file there. I just named it that cause it wont shop up when i choose zip from sd card.

I would redownload the zip file over the computer, happened to me before with a different rom, make sure it doesnt unzip. and then drag it to your SD card.

Okay I am perfomring that now, will edit with results.
My goodness... I think you fixed it for me. I feel like an idoit. I've been saving it to hte internal Sdcard i didn't even know that was possible.
Damnit... same problem.
Yay I got it. Thanks so much guys for all the help.

The ROMs were probably going to the internal SD by default. Just move them with a file manager to the external SD (unless you set up recovery to use the internal SD).
Also, do not rename them update zip - leave the names as-is so you will know what your are dealing with if you have multiple ROMs .
Then you flash it as a zip file on SD card - not as "update.zip" - that would be for the OTA update - if we ever actually see one for the G2X!

Good job Gman

Different roms put the external SD card in different places.
By default Rom Manager is set to read/write to /sdcard/... not /sdcard/external_SD that is the norm with the stock(based) roms.
Once you have CM7 on there and everything setup under standard conditions, Rom Manager will work as it should.

[Q] Flashing a ROM without being able to boot phone.

So,
I'm a dumbass and accidentally flashed an "update package" rather than a full ROM. I can not get past the "HTC ONE" white screen now..I have full access to recovery and bootloader, but can't boot the phone to mount as "Disk Drive" so I have no way to put the .zip file I need on the SD Card. Is there a way to put the correct .zip...even a stock ROM onto the SD Card without the phone being able to boot? I looked around and couldn't find anything.
Thank you so much.
-Brian

Boot the phone into recovery, go to mounts and storage, mount system. In adb push the file to /sdcard/

Hi, I'm working on exactly the same thing. I am only about 20 hours in and have learned quite a bit, but not having an SD card you can slip into a PC card slot is a major challenge. I have managed to get recovery back on the phone, and am successfully connected via fastboot. I can't figure out the ADB shell...I've installed SDK manager and have tried to enter the ADB shell, but cannot. Keep getting error messages. WHen I attempt to flash a rom via fastboot, the process starts, but then quits with the error that my media does not include android-info.txt or android-product.txt. I have tried every tmo ROM available, and the Nandroid back up. It is a paper weight? Thanks to anyone who can shed some light!

That's not how to flash roms, perhaps that's why. If you don't understand adb you really should not be rooting or unlocking anything until you have a better understanding of the tools you have available. Otherwise you end up in here asking if your phone is bricked when really you just have no idea what you're doing in the first place. Flash recovery in fastboot, then flash the rom from recovery.

Yea I figured it out..I had a recovery working though.
With regards to rsvjoon,
As stoneyjonez said...you need to flash a recovery (Say CWM Touch) using fastboot...something along the lines of "fastboot flash recovery recoveryimagefilehere.img" and then reboot into recovery...etc etc.
I followed this this step-by-step process exactly and got it to work, I recommend the same.
Cheers

hello...i as well need a step by step about pushing the rom to /sdcard/ in adb....if you could pm me that i would be thankful!

Thanks...and you're right. But I have successfully flashed CWM recovery...I just can't get anything on the phone to flash. Fastboot starts the process but ultimately I get an error with each rom I try that it can't continue because I'm issing those two text files. So anyway, your point is well taken. In the past, once I had recovery, I'd just slip the micro SD card into my computer and pop a rom on it. totally different deal without that capability.

Thanks brwetz. That is exactly the process I followed when I originally rooted my phone...and everything was swell. I fongooled things when I flashed a custom rom (which also worked just fine) and then decided to restore my Nandroid. for whatever reason, that process left me in recovery with nothing on the SD card to flash back.
Thanks again for the response.

What *I did* to put a .zip file on my phone without being able to boot it up was this:
-Go into Recovery -> Mounts and Storage.
-Plug your phone into your computer using USB cable
-Make sure it says "Unmount /sdcard/" and "Unmount /system/". If they do not say that, just press them (they are toggles)
-Make sure the ROM.zip file is in the same directory as your AndroidSDK/adb (for example, mine is C:\AndroidASK\)
-Go into command prompt and type "cd c:\whereveryouradbislocated"
-Once you are in your AndroidSDK (adb) directory, type "adb push romname.zip /sdcard/romname.zip
-Unplug phone from computer, close command prompt
-Go back in Recovery to main menu and do a factory reset/wipe cache partition/wipe dalvik cache (I can explain those more if needbe)
-Again go back to Recovery Main Menu -> Install Zip from SD Card -> Choose file from SD Card -> Select the romname.zip file you just pushed from your computer and install that .zip
-Reboot phone, be patient as it will take a minute to completely boot up.

Anybody know how to flash the rom through fastboot instead of recovery by pushing the boot.img and system.img from the ruu? sd card isnt mounting in recovery for whatever reason so I don't have access to the .zip files on my sd card. more details in my post from brwetz's thread here.

Emulator is a hardware or software used for duplication of behavior of main system to host system.
In short your pc is main system here and device is emulated system.
I think you should than turn on usb debugging and set device as media storage and try.

YOUR PROBLEM IS SIMPLY THIS THAT PRE- LOADER DRIVERS FOR YOUR PHONE ARE NOT PROPERLY INSTALLED IN YOUR PC. That's why sp flash tools is unable to connect to your phone and flash recovery.and so there is no progress.
TO INSTALL PROPER DRIVERS GO TO THIS THREAD.
Link: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2370906
And i know that the method i suggested is to root jellybean but it works fine on ics also ( but you cannot root jellybean via ics method)
**After installing proper drivers try again the above mentioned method and it should work.
And regarding that message... it will always come because all the images required to flash a new firmware are not properly loaded.
Ignore it because you are after all not flashing a whole new firmware but simply recovery in your phone.

YOUR PROBLEM IS SIMPLY THIS THAT PRE- LOADER DRIVERS FOR YOUR PHONE ARE NOT PROPERLY INSTALLED IN YOUR PC. That's why sp flash tools is unable to connect to your phone and flash recovery.and so there is no progress.
TO INSTALL PROPER DRIVERS GO TO THIS THREAD.
Link: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2370906
And i know that the method i suggested is to root jellybean but it works fine on ics also ( but you cannot root jellybean via ics method)
**After installing proper drivers try again the above mentioned method and it should work.
And regarding that message... it will always come because all the images required to flash a new firmware are not properly loaded.
Ignore it because you are after all not flashing a whole new firmware but simply recovery in your phone.
Best if luck.

I have already been into that link since even I thought that I'm having driver issues but my device is included under adb in device manager and when I tried to update the drivers, it said that the best drivers are already installed.
I'm lost in a limbo, don't know what to do.

Ok My last suggestion.
Remove all the connected device(dongles, bluetooth device) from your comp except your mobile with Usb debugging on.
restart your comp.
now place it in C drive(just for caution) or if it was on C drive move it to another drive.
Now try to root if it doesn't root.
Try frameroot.

Another suggestion if the above method does not work.
Try with a different port or with different cable.

Unique ECHOE ROM Flashing-Guide accepted by the Echoe ROM TEAM

Official:
Unique ECHOE-ROM Flashing-Guide
since v5 to v37 and up, still the best guide!
Always have a NANDROID Backup before changing anything on your device!
Please make a backup of your APP´s with e.g. Titanium-Backup to restore them after flashing!
Also it is advisable to make a backup of your contacts!
Note: You might have ROOT before getting custom recovery (CWM, TWRP, PhilZ) to work!
Flash MGA based Pre-Rooted ROM from DjeMBeY or ROOT your Phone to get it!
Users with NEW Bootloader simply flash a MI8 or higher pre-rooted ROM!
You have to build your System completely new to get a 100% working ECHOE ROM!
No "dirty flash" without wipe! Make it like I describe now or leave this Guide immediately!
​
You need the following for your Galaxy S4 I9505:
Device fully charged! =D--._.-----
Samsung USB connection cable to connect phone to PC
Micro SD-Card Reader for your PC (only if you have a micro-SD Card in the phone)
Samsung USB driver for PC Click here!
Latest Philz Touch Recovery Click here!
Odin (latest) ........................ Click here!
ECHOE ROM ....................... Click here!
Modem Collection .............. Click here!
Perhaps CSC Changer App Click here!
DOWNLOAD MODE:
(for Odin operations (.tar.md5 Files))
NOTE: You might have to extract downloaded .RAR file to get the inserted .tar .md5 file!
From switched OFF phone push the power button until the S4 vibrates, IMMEDIATELY push "volume DOWN" to enter download mode.
Push volume UP when you be asked!
Connect the Phone to PC with USB connection cable!
RECOVERY MODE:
(for Recovery operations (.zip Files)):
From switched OFF phone push the power button until the S4 vibrates, IMMEDIATELY push "volume UP" to enter recovery mode.
Process:
Prepare Phone:
1: ROOT YOUR PHONE like described above (if it´s not already rooted)!
2: Flash Philz Touch Recovery with Odin (as "PDA" or new Odin as "AP") or SGS4 flasher APP!
... Look at the above line "RECOVERY MODE" in this Guide how to start!
... If Philz Recovery asks you to fix ROOT (after you choose Reboot Now) choose NO !!!
Prepare SD-Card:
If you don´t have a Micro-SD Card just copy the downloaded EchoeRom ZIP to the internal SD!
3.: Switch OFF your phone and take out the micro SD-Card
4.: Put the micro SD-Card in a card reader and delete the folder ".android_secure"
.... It might work without deleting the ".android_secure" if you come from older ECHOE ROM Version (not tested by me)
5.: Copy the downloaded EchoeRom ZIP to the micro SD-Card
6.: Put the micro SD-Card back into the phone (DONT BOOT UP THE PHONE WITH INSERTED micro SD-Card, ".android_secure" is written again)!
Cleaning Phone:
7.: To completely clean your S4 and get rid of all older remaining´s you now start into Recovery Mode
... Look at the above line "RECOVERY MODE" in this Guide how to start!
8.: In the Settings of Philz Recovery choose:
8a: Advanced: Wipe Dalvic Cache
8b: Wipe Cache Partition
8c: Wipe Data/Factory Reset / Factory Reset
8d: Wipe Data/Factory Reset / "Clean before flash new ROM"
... Note: You have to flash a new ROM after doing point 8d !!!
... Stay into the Philz Recovery and read ahead!
Flashing ECHOE ROM:
9.: Because you stay into Philz Recovery hit the option "Install ZIP" then hit "choose zip from/storage/sdcard1" or internal SD and choose the EchoeRom ZIP
10.: After the flashing process finished go back to main menu and choose "Reboot System Now"
..... If Philz Recovery asks you to fix ROOT (after you choose Reboot Now) choose NO !!!
First Start:
11.: The first time the phone boot up take about 3-4 minutes
12.: After the phone has started do furthermore NOTHING for about 5 minutes (let the system set up in calm)
13.: Switch OFF the phone with the power-button
Flashing another Modem for your Echoe ROM Version (if the included modem is not working properly):
14.: Boot device into Download-Mode from switched off device (important)!
15.: Connect Phone to PC with the Samsung USB Cable!
16.: In Odin remove the "Auto Reboot" hook
17.: In Odin click on PHONE or newer Odin click on CP, load your Modem and press START
18.: Wait 3-4 minutes till there is a message: All threads completed. (succeed 1 / failed 0)
19.: Hold Power-Button for 10 seconds till phone resets (you feel the vibration)
Ready for take off!!! :laugh:
Phuuu... that was a ride... everything clean and new now!
Enjoy this famous ECHOE ROM!
Hit the :good:THANX Button if you enjoy!

I can't find an .android_secure folder anywhere on my SD card.
Just checked and the checksum is correct:
MD5 (/Users/Hate/Downloads/Echoe Illusion Rom v6_28Oct.zip) = 0fba4efafe95457a934cb50946bf552e
Same one as listed at http://d-h.st/AX5 the download link.
Prehaps the upload is corrupt?
Can anyone provide me with an alternative link? I don't want the themed version.
I'm trying downloading it with a different browser however I really cant see chrome being any problem at all?
Please someone help, I'm stuck with an expensive brick currently Well semi-brick :'(
I'd ideally like to fix it as its my only alarm clock!
Thanks

Hmmmmmm.
Just downloaded the themed version,
Wiped everything as instucted ( noticed it said Formatting external_sd/.android_secure despite me checking many time before and its not there, not even a hidden file or folder )
Getting the exact same error Can't open... bad...Can anyone help this is driving me crazy!
All the md5 hashes match
Thanks

Hey I cant seem to get my phone to stop losing signal when the screen is off. I have flashed the modem that the firmware checker says is good for my phone but its still not working any ideas.

Did flashed the ROM like described above?
Did you use the inbuilt Faux Kernel?
Have you flashed the Modem like described in Point #18 ?
What is your Bootloader (old or new (with or without Knox)?
This works flawless! Many people have confirmed! :good:
This flashing method is beyond any doubt, it MUST work if you dont have made thinks wrong!

Never mind, this folder is written from the System itself (after first booting up).
Whats the problem with your downloaded ROM?

Flash a stock ROM with Odin first and then go ahead!
For new Bootloader you have to flash stock .tar.md5 XXUEMJ5 Firmware with ODIN.
For old Bootloader you have to fllash stock .tar.md5 XXUEMGA Firmware with ODIN.
Flash stock ROM with my Guide here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=46399517#post46399517
So you should have a starting point to continue with the ECHOE ROM Flashing guide!

I flashed like described in point 18. I don't know what bootloader I have and I'm not sure about the kernel.

Did you ever flashed a ROM higher than MGA or MH1 you have the NEW Bootloader!
Flash a stock ROM with Odin first and then go ahead!
For new Bootloader you have to flash stock .tar.md5 XXUEMJ5 Firmware with ODIN.
For old Bootloader you have to fllash stock .tar.md5 XXUEMGA Firmware with ODIN.
Flash it like I described in my Best ROM Flashing Guide (in my Sig)!

Hi, really like your threads and just discovered this one.
I have a android.secure folder on my external sd card but am wondering, why I can't just delete that one, boot into recovery, wipe and flash the new ROM. In your steps you recommend to take out the card, put it into a card reader, delete the folder, put ROM on external sd card, put card in phone and boot into recovery. Wouldn't that be the same as if I delete it on my phone with a file Explorer and booting into recovery?
Or is this folder recreated while shutting the phone down?
Also, could you explain a bit why this particular folder can make problems?
Thanks in advance!!

I know mate!
I couldn´t delete the .android.secure folder from phone within! I think its used from System and should not be deleted while the system is runnig.
I don´t know what errors/problems this folder could make, I always removed it first.
I think friedrich420 has written that it should be deleted because of making problems when switching from stock ROM to e.g. ECHOE ROM!

SLIM - Yes, Full - No
Hi!
Huge Fan of Echoe Rom. I have a very weird issue with the echoe celstial voices goint to echoe illusion v7. Flashed celestial voices and worked like a charm. Then Illusion V6 Full came up. So downloaded and flashed it. Again worked like a charm. Then I tried the slim version and from there, something weird happened. echoe illusion v6 slim with no kitchen worked out fine, but game me random resets and freeze. So i tried goin back to full. But I cant flash the full version. But can go back to slim without a problem. tried it 20 times now but still getting stucked at boot logo. then v7 came out and still same results.
Cant post to echoerom thread directly due to restrictions. Please advice as to what should i do. Thanks in advance.

Sorry, me with another question regarding external sd + android_secure.folder:
I should take out the external sd, delete the folder and put the ROM on the external sd card. Now when i boot right into revovery will the folder be created again? Cause then it would make more sense to leave external sd card out and put the ROM on internal sd card and flash from there.
As I usually do a fullwipe, including formating internal sd card the ROM would be formated as well. So the ROM needs to be on the external sd card, but then again the android_secure folder might be created while booting up in recovery...i hope you understand my dilemma. :silly:

Man! The folder is created from the Android System not from recovery!
Make it like I said in the Guide and that's it!

DUUUUDE!!
Thanks so much for the hint with android_secure folder! #
I had this weird issue that after flashing Echoe ROM Slim Version 3-6 that while booting up for the first time after flashing 4 apps where installed which where totally bloat stuff (such as "mytaxi" and some other shi*t)
I have a "free" Phone, so i always wondered what is happening as this couldn´t come from any "carrier" service. I also formated my external sd card but the problem was still there when i installed Slim V6.
With your methoed this time NO bloat App was installed after the reboot!
Thank you so much, i finally figured out what was causing this! :good:
