[Q] Can't seem to install ClockworkMod Recovery Flasher

Just got my G2x, and I'm excited to install one of the ROMs. I'm trying to install the ClockworkMod Recovery Flasher following the instructions in this tread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1056847 but "APX Device" isn't being detected. I have the LG driver installed on the computer. Can someone please help me out?

When trying to install the APX driver are you being sure to remove the phone battery, hold volume up+down together, and then plug the phone into the computer? You have to keep both volume buttons held down until the device is recognized. Then you go into device manager on your computer and right click on the APX device and update the driver software from there. Point the driver installation to the APX folder that was unzipped with the nvflash tool. The computer will find the appropriate driver and install it.

Ahhh, yeah.. Sadly the computer won't recognize it when I hold the volume up+down together and plug it into the computer. Battery is taken out before I attempt it. It's really weird . I was following the directions from the thread down to the T. Thanks a lot for the help!!

Does your computer recognize the phone when you plug it in with the power on? As in can you use usb storage or tethering? If so it should recognize it in apx.

I wonder if you try uninstalling all drivers for the phone (LG drivers and apx drivers) and install them fresh?

It seems I haven't installed the APX driver. I do have the One-Click-G2x-recovery-flasher-06-16.rar, and inside is an APX folder with a bunch of .dll files. Are those what I'm supposed to use?

Alright it seems I was able to install the APX driver, thanks for all the help! It was odd... to put it in APX mode I left the battery in and held the power button plus the volume up and down buttons.. Weird.

Were you using a USB port on your computer or through a hub? You cannot use a hub to flash most phones. Because it worked with your battery it appears that the USB port you used is not supplying the required 5 volts, 500ma it is supposed to supply. Sounds like you were on an unpowered hub and it did not pass through power from the computer as it should.

That's possible. I used the USB port that's installed in the front of my tower. Thanks for the explanation!

Virtualbox VM not recognizing phone
I'm using the VirtualBox VM method to flash clockworkmod recovery from this post: [RECOVERY] G2x ClockworkMod flash for Mac. I have completed steps 1-7 and everything seems to be in working order. However, once I pull the battery and hold down the volume up and volume down then plug in the USB. Nothing happens. The phone never turns on nor is recognized by Virtualbox VM. What am I doing wrong?

The phone doesn't turn on. You will hear a beep that the phone tried to connect to the computer. Usually driver installation fails. You then go to the control panel, find the device under USB Devices and then direct Windows to manually install the driver from the APX directory. The screen on the phone doesn't show anything until AFTER a successful flash of the recovery (counter-intuitive but that is how it works). If you are using a VB VM setup, you need to make sure the USB ports are assigned to your virtual machine first.

Swapper 2 bricked my Relay!

I installed it and rebooted my Samsung Relay and the screen went black. I pressed the power button and nothing happened.
The phone is now officially a paperweight. Also I had root privileges.
Can you help me please, I do not know what to do?:crying:

Have you done a battery pull?

yes, I tried the battery pull without success.
if I try the shortcut keys + power button doesn't start.
without battery, the LED turns red.
if I connect it to the pc windows 7 tries to install a drive with no success.
I would like to buy a "Module USB JIG" to start it in download mode smartphone but for the Relay doesn't exist.
Please can you solve this problem?
P.S.
Sorry for my bad english

if I connect to the PC, without battery, I recognize it as "QHSUSB_DLOAD"
In "Devices and Printers" window "Qualcomm HS-USB QDLoader 9008 (COM8)"
I purchased a USB JIG Module, Monday I should get.
Has anyone experienced a similar situation?

for posterity: USB JIG.. fail

yes i hv tried this..
whn i plug my phn into pc and press vol up n power it shows forge HS USB QDloader 9008 in device manager.. whn i try to update driver it says problem encountered while installing.. qualcomm drivers are not getting installed..

First, I would like to request to use full words in any international forum when you replies, not like hv,whn,phn,vol,n... etc. these seems vague and unprofessional behavior.
I think you should uninstall all the existing ADB and USB drivers and then just only install adb-setup-1.4.2.exe, and SAMSUNG_USB_Driver_for_Mobile_Phones_v1.5.33.0.exe (you can get by googling). These will let you work for any existing,non-existing drivers for OPO and then you may move further.

Hey i don't know if you've solved this problem yet or not, but if your device can't even be detected like mine was at one point - get the OnePlus One Recovery Tool - it worked for me, I tried everything driver-wise and I just used this. It was pretty easy

Help!!! Oneplus one totally bricked

HI,
i was replacing the screen and suddenly my phone went in coma the sreen has been changed but no recovery or fast boot is accessible and even my pc is detecting it as mtp device and in adb cmd it says unauthorized or offline i need your help or my brother will kill me:crying::crying::crying: please help asap
i tried the hardbrick method but the driver installation dint succeed and the phone is still recognized as android device or mtp device.

MTP device and adb recognizes it means the phone is running fine! Check the display it sounds like it's issue.. And also when connected to PC try holding down power button and see if mtp device indication goes away (hold it for like 10 secs)

[HELP] Stuck on 1+ logo

Hi guys. I come here in search for help as I already tried possibly all the methods and unbrick solutions that I saw to fix my Oneplus One. Basically when I turn it on it gets stuck on "1+ powered by android" screen. I can't go to Recovery Mode and I can only enter the Fastboot mode if I'm not connected to PC. It doesn't get recognized when I connect it to PC unless I press the "Vol. up + Power" button combination. After this, it gets recognized on windows' device manager as "Qualcomm HS-USB QDLoader 9008" and the phone gets in a mode that doesn't show anything on the screen and apparently necessary to do what's described in this post. This was the last thing that I've tried after I tried several other solutions.
Thanks in advance to anyone who might help me. I love this phone and I hate just the thought of buying a new one.

I already intalled fastboot drivers and put the phone in fastboot mode. When I plug the phone to the PC it doesn't get recognized. Can you tell me how to install the fastboot drivers? Maybe I missed something.

Try using win7.
PS: did you launched the tool with administrator privileges?

I download the latest adb and fastboot drivers from Android Studio site under command line tools.
Here is a good Article on how to configure the drivers on your machine.https://www.xda-developers.com/adb-fastboot-any-directory-windows-linux/
