Trouble installing CM7 on T-Mobile G2x.

I rooted the G2x, installed CWM using nvflash
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1108201
I bought the premium version of ROM Manager so that I can get access to the nightly builds. I choose the nightly build I want to install and select the google apps, I get to the clockwork recovery screen, it backsup data does MD5, and then format /cache /data and tries to install the ROM and it fails. I have tried this with #54-#58 and I get the same result. Can someone please point me in the right direction ?

and you created your own special thread for this why?

in my opinion, its faster and more helpful than search

Before you start downloading and flashing roms I suggest that you read through the entire first post of the nightly thread and after you are done re-read the post again then follow the links and re-re-read while you are flashing the roms. I myself am a newb to all this but I found that all of the information is already there if you just take your time and follow directions, and it will pay off in the end

I think he's being sarcastic although I could be wrong.

Sorry Guys did not mean to violate any rules here... I am just super frustrated right now. I have done Rom Manager CM7 installs some 5-6 times, the install process goes though backup, format /cache /data and then starts to install ROM and suddenly fails. Does CM7 nightly build install from Rom Manager work? I read though a ton of forum posts and looks like it is working for people or may be not... can some one point me to *A* thread that I can rely on to get CM7 on this G2X? Really really really appreciate your help on this.

ROM Manager is an inferior method of ROM flashing. Use NVFlash to flash ClockworkMod Recovery to your phone (NVFlash allows for a true flash rather than the application's fake flash) then when you want to flash a ROM (or do a backup, or anything else ROM manager does) just boot your phone into recovery (hold power and volume down until you see the green Android logo, trust me it will make sense) and do it from there.
I have never, ever, been able to get ROM Manager to work in flashing roms. Or for much of anything else for that matter. It's just better to do things directly.

Rooted the phone based on instructions from:
http://wiki.cyanogenmod.com/wiki/LG_Optimus_2X:_Rooting
Installed CWM from
http://forum.xda-developers.com/show....php?t=1108201
Installed ROM manger premium,
adb push cm_nightlybuild.apk /sdcard
when I reboot to recovery I get /!\ with an andriod green logo. What do I do next ? seems like it wont go into recovery mode now... but when I reboot (pull the battery and press power button) I am able to boot into stock Andriod 2.2.

If your are running the rooted stock you should know when your download rom they will be downloaded on your internal memory and when rom manager boot into recovery it is not able to see your internal memory you should put the roms on your external SD card

[Q] Help with ClockworkMod 5.5.0.4

Can someone help please? I installed CWM Recovery thru ROM Manager. Rebooted in recovery to back up my ROM and now I can't get out of recovery. Every time I select Reboot System it reboots me into recovery.

Try here (if you can use NVFlash)
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1519635&highlight=boot+into+cwm

Like many others, When I saw the thread over in the Dev section about the 5.5.0.4 recovery, I jumped right in and fired up Rom Manager before reading any further in the thread.
Unlike many others, I don't get the same results. My TF101 reboots to the OS with no problem. However trying to reboot to recovery from recovery doesn't work. I have to hold the vol. down button just like a cold boot into recovery.
The only difference might be, that I had stock recovery prior to installing 5.5.0.4, due to having to recover from another soft brick condition after trying to install the CM9 Nightly that is now available over on the official Clockworkmod site. That one had failed miserably for my device.
Good luck with solving your problems with the new recovery. Wish I could explain exactly why mine seemed to work as advertised when most others didn't. But I don't know.
I do have the problem with the Removable MicroSD not being visible. Only the built in "Fake" SD Card.
Update:
I now have the reboot into recovery problem. I used the wipe data option from the VOL DWN/PWR button start up, and now have that annoying boots into recovery problem like everyone else. I hope that and the SD card problem gets fixed in the next version.

Thanks, got everything back to normal with NVFlash method I found by watching this :http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_embedded&v=VMHXeYMgPy4
Lesson learned!! :/

Curious where the thread in the Dev section went to, I cant find it this morning...
Unfortunately, some of us cannot use NVFLash to fix this problem.
So, is it too much to ask that the Dev who wrote Rom Manager and CWM actually look in to this for us?
I too installed the newer CWM through Rom Manager and need to cold boot to get in to the OS otherwise it recovery boot loops.

Thread was closed. I was on it this morning and wanted to post a reply saying NV Flash work for me and I couldn't because it said the thread was closed.
I read the whole thing and apart from NV Flashing the was no other solution
How do you know you can't NVFlash?

yea , this morning the thread in the Dev section went to general , and now closed.
Perhaps we should follow this until everything is clarified.
the nvflash only work for b60 and some b70 tablets , most of b70 and b80 cant be flashed with this tool

I'm working on something to fix this, but I still need a little more testing.

ok, then waiting
any clue where to attack the problem?

Some people reported the new recovery worked when flashed over stock recovery.

any help you can supply on this would be greatly appreciated. it's very uncomfortable not being able to count on your recovery.

too late for us

I was up until 1am following the thread and posting my process, specs.
I am even more curious as to how the thread which was still pretty calm turned in to something that deserved being deleted.
In any event, I think we all understand that what we do is at our own risk. But CWM and Rom Manager have been the gold standard of reliability for quite some time. Once something is a trusted means by which to do something its even more disappointing to see that it no longer works.

the first post was moved because it was not exactly a development post
then, in the general section, I do not know why it closed, there is no explanation

so if microsd is not recognized, i can install rom from internal, right?

[Completed] [Q] Moto X 4.4.2 rooted w/ locked bootloader, factory reset safe?

Hi, I have a republic wireless moto x I just successfully rooted and updated to 4.4.2 from 4.2.2 with a locked bootloader with no write protection (wp)
Since I updated it to 4.4.2 I have this error that pops up that I can not resolve
"Unfortunately, the process com.motorola.process.system has stopped"
I googled several pages of several website results and several pages of google but can not find the solution.
Solutions found was to:
Safe Mode (I tried this first with no apps installed on non safemode and non system apps updated, didn't work and popped up even on safe mode)
Change date & time method (didn't work)
Wipe Cache (didn't work)
Wipe Cache & dalvik cache (didn't work)
I am debating about factory reset but unsure if it will make me lose my root because I have a locked bootloader (if that matters in anyway I am still new to this, and that my moto x is from republic wireless not like other carriers with unlocked bootloaders).
Please help me and discuss with me how I can get rid of that error. Or point me to the right path.

Do you have a Custom Recovery Installed ? If not, then that would be your first Step. There's a Moto X Link in my signature that will help you install one. Once that is done, you can do factory reset from inside the Recovery. But before you boot, make sure to flash SuperUser Zip File from the Recovery.

Hello. Not sure how to answer this because I am still new to it.
I have the SafeStrap App, it says "State: Installed" above Install Recovery / Uninstall Recovery & "Safe System: Not Active" over Reboot to Recovery" version 3.65.
I do have a SafeStrap (TWRP) and have a backup but not sure if it is on 4.2.2 or 4.4.2.
If I did a recovery, which parts will it back up or all of it? Because I don't want that error to show up. It is driving me nuts.
Can you further assist me with what I replied before I do that recovery?

I see that you have already Opened another Thread on the Moto X forum.

Asus TF101 - Recovery - Stuck on Boot

Hi
I bought some electronics at an auction and there was a Asus TF101 included in the lot. After reading about the unit I thought it would be great for personal use. I ordered a charger online an I tried it but it gets stuck at the boot screen. If I try switching it off it just switches back on. I think this is a botched root job but I don't know what the previous owner did. I doubt it is hardware related though. It has Clockworkmod Recovery v6.0.1.3 installed and can boot into the recovery but honestly I am a bit lost at what to do next.
Attempts to wipe the data etc to reset the device has all failed. It seems it needs to be flashed so any help will be appreciated. While I am at it I was thinking of going for one of the newer roms here on XDA available for the device.
Update: I wiped the user data and got the unit reset but now it boots straight into the clockworkmod app
Thanks!

Since you have Clockwork installed and recovery is booting, look here.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/eee-pad-transformer/development/rom-t2942560
See the install instructions, upgrading to TWRP and flashing rom and other components.

I did see that and I have done some more reading since I posted here. Will I be able to upgrade from Clockwork to TWRP 2.8. if the unit doesn't boot?
Also I got an error saying that the sdcard cannot be mounted. I know this is the internal storage and not the actual sd card.

I believe I flashed mine that way. If you have just wiped storage that is the normal error. I would give it go

That one worry less, was worried something hardware wise was faulty.
This may sound like a stupid question (definitely newbie question) but if I cant access the internal storage how am I going to copy TWRP onto the internal storage and run the install from clockwork?

Sorry it has been a long time since I used Clockwork, but does it not see the external removable sd card? Or try the adb push method if the CM version will support.

No after some blood sweat and lots of foul language I got 4.4.4 loaded just to dicover the lcd has a nice shade of green ..... So LCD = another $30... lol I am so deep in...... Anyway started a new thread just to check if anybody else had the same problem and whether in fact it is the LCD that faulty
Oh just For info... I used EasyFlasher to get TWRP 2.6 onto the Unit with a very nice step by step guide for a newbie like me here
:http://www.transformerforums.com/fo...t/31927-frederuco-s-guide-root-rom-tf101.html
I then Used Kisskat 4.4.4 here at XDA forums to flash the Unit. Lollipop was not happy with the older version of TWRP

Factory Reset Failed

Hello everyone, I have recently bought my new phone Blu Pure XL and I rooted it successfully. So as things go on I accidentally uninstall Xposed .apk and I flashed the Xposed Framework again (Which was a huge mistake); My phone would be stuck on the 2nd Boot Blu Logo screen and I read to wipe the cache. When that didn't work I just wiped everything, but.... *Sigh* Thats when things went beyond my realm of understanding. My phonr won't let me factory reset it because basically nothing is mounted.
As seen here: (make sure the "H" is connected with the "T".)

Thank you so much for providing this possible solution for me and I will try it out right now! I've come across this thread many of times, but I've overlooked it because it said nothing about important folders being unmounted.
Thanks!

This will definitely work... all the info you need is in that thread; read it; then read it some more, then read it one more time... then go ahead and read it again lol...
SP flash tool is your friend;
although I have few idea on possibly easier solutions (no sp flash learning curve lol)
look into flashing TWRP 2.8 from here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/pure-xl/development/twrp-twrp-blu-pure-xl-allview-x2-xtreme-t3269596 using fastboot;
then you maybe can flash the BLU ROM from here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/pure-xl/general/rom-blu-pure-xl-stock-rom-t3382722 and hope it fixes your issue (if you already have twrp make sure u are using 2.8; 3.0+ has issues with partition corruption (kinda sounds like what happened to you)
if your partition table is messed up follow the unbrick thread especially the section about flashing the condor COMPLETE rom via fastboot then reflashing to BLU (the condor ROM flash fixes the partitions so you can flash the BLU stuff)
Wish you luck and once again READ (I can be kind of an ass when it comes to questions asked without research, just FYI lol, but I do try to help those who help themselves!)
