On my 4th G2x. Same problems as the others. Reboots on its on, sleep of death. In fact this morning I was talking on phone and it shut down. I had to remove battery and reboot.
I called Customer Service that has always been super nice. This time they said, oh, since this is your 4th and this one just in 6 days I can't help you I have to send you to Tech. The Tech guy basically said "known software problem, sending replacement won't do any good. Can't give you different phone. Maybe it is your SD card and apps you have loaded. He actually told me Facebook app could cause it to shut down. Said to reset to factory, remove SD card and use it for 3 days with no apps. After 3 days if all is well then start adding apps. I asked what if it has problems during the 3 days? He said, 'there is nothing we can do. I will report this to LG and they will send out an update. I don't know when but they will update the software".
WTH?! So I am done. I will do the root. Now i just need to read all these great threads to figure out how and which version! Wish i could just pay one of you to do it for me!
Thanks for letting me rant.
I've been running stock since August with no issues but I really wanted the LG Camera app so I installed CWR and flashed the WeaponX rom with no issues. Everything works and it's even smoother then stock Gingerbread. Just follow the directions to the T and the process should take less than fifteen minutes if you have all your files ready to go.
Enjoy!

Thanks! Which directions did you follow? There are a number of threads here.
The directions are a bit confusing as they reference other threads and then have comments stating this step is now obsolete. etc. Seems like I first need to get the ROM Manger?

Correct?
i followed this http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1060715 and was fine. this was my first root as well.

I used this method to NvFlash and install Clockwork recovery which is the basic software you need in order to flash ROMs. You do not need ROM Manager. Once you've done the NvFlash and installed CWR you can copy your ROMs to the SD card or phone storage and flash through Clockwork Recovery. Make sure you backup your stock install through CWR prior to flashing anything new so you can return the phone to a usable state.
As always follow the directions verbatim, some steps take time as well. Also make sure your battery is 100% charged... If it dies during any portion of the process bad things can happen.
I had all of those issues until I flashed cm7... then the issues became very minimal... I once had 8 reboots in a day on stock rom, during phone calls and everything... You are definitely taking a step in the right direction
P.S. my wife has completely stock phone on stock rom and has Facebook app with no issues, she just got lucky I guess
To OP: do you have 2.2 or 2.3 installed as your stock rom... read carefully there are different instructions for both
Never use ROM Manager. Even if it worked perfectly on our phone I still would never recommend it. I've seen it cause more harm than good.
Anyways, you don't even technically need root to flash a ROM.
Just NVFlash CWM. After that you can upgrade to the latest CWM via ADB. Then flash your desired ROM. I suggest CM7.
yeah, you know ROM manager... now forget it. Use NVflash and clockwork
I got myself in trouble!
I followed instructions and all went well. I installed the GB, no problems. No I was brave so I thought I would try the Cyanogen mod. It too installed fine. I don't like it. Now i can't get rid of it! I tried reinstalling the GB and the cyanogen won't go away! i tried restore to factory, but it won't go away!!
Please lend me your advice on how to remove Cyanogen mod!

Then just wipe and flash a new ROM.
Make sure you wipe data, cache, dalvik then format system before flashing new ROM.
Clearly I am a dunce.
I uninstalled the driver on pc. Did a reinstall. Flashed ROM again. Installed GB zip. rebooted and the dang Cyanogen MOD is still there!
I even went over all steps again, this time flashing back to stock. Still Cyanogen MOD is boots up

i remember, I followed this video.
http://theunlockr.com/2011/05/03/how-to-load-a-custom-rom-on-the-t-mobile-g2x/
to install a new rom
remember: (once you've copied the zip on sd card, power the phone to enter into clockwork and steps)
1. back up and restore
2. wipe data/ factory reset
3. install zip from sd card
so far, it hasn't failed me
you can skip the first one, but shouldn't
Just download Weapon if you want to go back to stock. Its Stock with a few needed tweaks and fixes. Very stable and no issues.
G2x - 2.3.7 CM7
Transformer - 3.2 Revolver OC/UV
The reboot issue were in all my G2X(3). Only rom that fixed that was Weapon G2X. Running a custom rom is the way to go with this phone, otherwise you'll go through 100 replacements with same issues.
Today I did an exchange for my brother's line which he has the G2X and the rep told me I could get a brown color G2X because they no longer carry original color or a Sensation. (Not sure what he was talking about brown color because I thought all G2X were the same color other than the white floating around)
So I decided to just get the Sensation, I know it's got issues of it's own, but will give it a shot because I want the G2X to just be a memory of the past.
This phone could have been a beast, but will never live to it's full potential.
Good luck and if you need to exchange again and you don't mind getting a Sensation I would suggest bringing that up to the rep.

If you screw up and can't boot up, ROM manager cannot get you into recovery. Only an NV flashed clockworkmod recovery will boot up in the event of a boot loop.

You don't have recovery with Rom Manager, yeah it flashes all the roms but if you get into a bootloop or worse then you are SOL.

Rom manager works just fine. However, like previously said, you just need to NVFlash first for safety reasons.
From a complete stock G2x, NVFlash, Nandroid Backup, and flash a previously downloaded rom (Weapon or CM7 or MIUI or Eaglesblood or any of the other wonderful roms). Custom roms have root so THEN you can go to town with Rom Manager.
I use Rom Manager as my primary flashing service because it not only downloads them, but will automatically reboot into recovery, perform your desired wipe options, and flash. With CM7 it will automatically check for the latest GAPPS and flash it too in one fowl swoop.
Just have to NVFlash first.
I NVFlashed my neighbors G2x the day he got it and, while he didn't want to try custom roms just yet, we did a Nandroid Backup just for laughs. Now he's running MIUI.
okay so i tried to redo the phone with the non FAUX SKY rom and i have tried it a couple of different ways, but i have lost visual voicemail. And as stupid as this is i dont know how to take an app listed on the page and install it to the phone. So i am sorry for my ignorant questions here. I just need to know what to do exactly in my noobdom to get back to where i had kick ass sky ICS and hopefully it not eat the battery. I went to bed at 11:30pm the other night with 62% battery and when i got up at 5:30 phone was dead lol. thanks in advanced. and i dont mind starting from scratch if i have too.
Dload and install Calibration battery app.
And follow the instructions and this will help u get good battery use.
For vvm get apk and install that.

when i download the update, do i install from zip or do i rename it update.zip, then in cw choose install update?
First you flash 6.75z and reboot your phone and than flash other updates. You don't have to rename anything just select "chose from internal storage" and flash the update.

You are the man! I got everything back, well minus stock calculator but thats not a problem. I also loaded that newish spb shell, its very nice so far, and not a single FC. I owe it all to you my friend.
I bought a phone from ebay SGH i727 Android version 4.0.4 Baseband version 1727UCLE2 Build Number SkY ICS 4.2E-2 Kernel Version 3.0.8 perf 1727ucle2-cl526987 [email protected]#1 smp preempt tue may 8 kst 2012 (if all this info works). It was at&t device, which is working with tmobile sim. The problem is there is NO status or notification bar.
There is no way I can receive a call on this phone. NO WAY, no green icon to slide, no home key reply - nothing.
My question are below
1. Can I simply do a factory reset, since if the phone is working on tmobile it is unlocked - right? and should work after factory reset.
2. The phone has root access by superuser and a few more apps that make me think that it may have been a software unlock to allow at&t and tmobile sim ONLY. Is that possible, and is factory reset advised in that case?
Sounds like it's running sky ics. Im pretty sure the reason the phone is unusable is due to the fact it was already factory reset.
Your best bet is to read the stickies and install a fresh rom.

I have been reading the stickies and forum posts for almost 6 hours now. It is just that this is my first time messing up with such stuff and I wanted a clarity from someone who has done this stuff earlier.
One more question then - which ROM would you suggest?
Lol. Fair enough. It's a lot to read.. I know- ive read everything here.
I suggest a stock rom to start with. Here is the latest stock rom from Mohan

I downloaded the zip file and ran a rom updater via ROM MANAGER app, it did everything, it took a backup, ran a whole lot of activities and said that ROM is updated. Nothing, there is no status or notification bar, there is no change in the phone details from the one posted above.
I just want to be able to ANSWER my calls as of now. I hear a call sound but there is no way to pick up that call. The only way is to see a missed call notice in the wallpaper and then call back.
Don't use rom manager, use recovery.

I was just apprehensive and had read good reviews about ROM manager, so I downloaded a custom rom via it and installed the CyanogenMod Version 9.1.0-Skyrocket
As of now, status and notifications seem to be working fine.
Thank you for all your help, hmm maybe the next time I will try something via a non - interface way.

By the sounds of it, you should read the stickies as suggested before flashing roms.. sounds like you used rom manager to flash the CM version? Wouldn't advise that in the future and probably lucky nothing bad happened if that is indeed how you did it.
Need any help, feel free to pm me.
Hi as its my first post i cannot post in the specific development thread to this particular ROM.
I haven't updated my ROM in sometime. Currently my phone says i have:
Android Version - 4.0.3
HTC Sense version - 3.6
Software Number - Android Revolution HD 6.6.2 by mike1986
The newest rom version is 6.8.* and i was wondering the process to update from that version to this newer one. Or how to move to a different custom rom.
If you need more information then please ask. Im new here and just learning the ropes. Thanks in advance.

Hi if your s off here is how you do it. Place rom on SD card by first downloading from computer than connecting with USB cable to phone to computer than share the rom, usually to disk drive e. This places it on SD card root. Then go into recovery and wipe cash then wipe dalvik then wipe data factory reset. Then choose install zip from SD card, then choose zip from SD card. Then scroll down and find your rom. Install the rom than reboot your phone. That's it. But before you flash anything do a nandroid backup of your current rom incase you get into a pinch you can restore your old rom easily. Now if your s on it's different. You will have to flash boot image I'm so off and not exactly familiar with every step for that but there is a great guide flashing roms with s on you can read if need be. But if your so off those are all the steps you need. Hope I've helped and happy flashing.

If he is going to update the ROM, you don't need to wipe anything often. You need to look to the forum and their they will say in the 1st or 2nd post how to install the ROM and if you are going to update the ROM it will often say you don't need to wipe anything. But if you want to be sure just read that post.
It's always a good idea to wipe as to prevent any Wi-Fi or other issues. I updated my rom and didn't do a full wipe and I had Wi-Fi issues, I went back reinstalled with full wipe now Wi-Fi works perfectly. In my opinion it's good to wipe.

It's really not ncessessary for small incrimental updates, which most nightly builds are.
However, this guy is going from ARHD 6.6 to 6.8. The ARHD page says you don't need to do a full wipe if coming from 6.7...which kind of implies that you do need a full wipe if coming from an earlier build.
So a full wipe would probably be recomended.
As for normal updating opperations...
Sure, things CAN get screwy when flashing over a previous build, but they usually do not. And if you are going to be updating regularly then it's really a gigantic waste of time to do a full wipe every 2-3 days since you'll spend an hour or 2 resetting everything up. Over a month that might be 18-24 hours just redoing settings, in hopes of avoiding a random error that might happen once every 2 months of flashing. It's kind of like driving 20 miles to save a penny on a gallon of gas. You spend more to get there than you save.
Always recomended to do a full nandroid backup first through. So if it doesn't work you can revert back to what you had quickly and save the full wipe and fresh install for a time when you've got more time to redo everything.
6.6 and 6.8 use different firmware bases...
Not wiping when he updets now only means he'll get trusted, and wipe later

really grateful for all of the responses. I think to be safe and just for the sake of a few hours ill do a full back up and wipe before installing.
I apologize in advance for being a noob, this is my first go at customizing ANYTHING android.
I got my Asus Transformer TF300T in January, had some hardware issues with it and exchanged it. I JUST got it back and decided to go custom before i got it all set up and then i would have to start over.
So I followed THIS guide and successfully installed Baked 7, Initially I used CWM as the guide told, but I could not get a boot image backup, so I used the same method and installed the most recent TWRP and it worked flawlessly.. I was unhappy with how the notification bar was at the top, I liked the stock where it was at the bottom. I could not find initial details on how to revert back to stock rom, so i decided to give some other custom roms a try. I was very interested in scottsmods CleanROM, but their website does not have the download anymore(that I could find) and thats where all the links in guides point to. So instead I installed CyanogenMod using THIS Guide. I immediatly noticed problems with this rom. It did not pick up my SD card, there was an error window that would pop up and go away before i could read it. It would not get on wifi.
I did further research into going back to stock, so I followed THIS guide its not directly XDA, but it followed the same style that i had learned previously(fastboot, etc) I did change to the support page of just the TF300T on the asus site, the guide links to the 3g one. I could not find my SKU in my device because the cyanogen rom changed the "Build" number. So I have tried each from the asus site and flashed them and would get stuck on the asus boot screen. I waited over an hour on each one before i decided it was frozen and to move to the next.
I didnt get any of the stock firmwares working. So I reflashed to TWRP, and attempted to go back to baked. I couldnt get the zip to install in twrp. but i was able to get cynogen to install again. It doesnt have the error window thing and the wifi works but still no SD.
I want to go back to stock, or baked if stocks not possible.
Stocks already been tried to the best of my ability, so i tired baked. Baked is on my external SD card, as in cynogen I cant access the internal one to move the files over.
Baked gives me an error saying unable to open zip file.
What am I missing? I cant seem to figure this out. Any and all help or ideas would be greatly appreciated!
well, first off, you went from Baked 4.1 to cyo 4.2, now as i understand it . They moved the file system around in 4.2, and if you want to go back to 4.1 you have to wipe everything, I use TWRP 2.4.1.0 . Now I can understand not wanting to lose everything you've had set up.. Always do a back up before any major Flash. Just incase if your on a rom now thats decent save your files, perform a wipe, flash a rom , Clean rom in the xda threads is what im using.. Running great BTW. lemme know if it helped or didn't... lol Clean ROM Inheritance is a stock based rom. with an oc kernel which makes the tab perform like its supposed to. just be sure if you do decide to flash it you choose a kernel in the installer with T = Wifi, G=3G, 4G, etc. you want the T G

Is the 4.1 the same as 7? because 7 was the latest version available from team baked.
Edit: wait a sec... i think I understand. You mean baked 7 was 4.1 android and cyo was 4.2 android?
as far as data goes, i've already done all that. i did factory reset, wipe cache/wipe davik thing each time, no bueno. I have no data on the device as it was brand new outta the box. in TWRP, theres an option for wipe data, but factory reset says it wipes data and cache. should i still do the wipe data option instead of factory reset? so... wipe data/wipe cache/wipe davik instead of factory reset/wipe cache/wipe davik?
And also, I'm trying to flash a rom, back to baked from cyo because atleast baked worked. but it tells me its unable to open my zip files.
Do you have a link to the download of CleanROM? I've checked the official threads here and the download links take me to scottsroms.com and their download page only has the nexus10 and nexus 7 along with a bunch of phones.

Wipe everything.. data from 10.1 is not supported... do you not have a useable backup? If you do restore it. Y o u have to be able to put stuff in storage. Or wipe what i told you, and reflash baked if you already have it.

So I managed to install cleanROM but its stuck on the boot screen now. its been sitting here spinnging for 20 minutes. the link you gave me says to let it stabilize for around 10 minutes. is it spinning the stabilizing part? should i let it keep going?
I used the TF300 kernel and the 160 thing as specified in the guide. everything else default with the exception of adding the go launcher HD and hacked hulu plus apps....
I did a format data(which wiped my internal sd and the zip file i was installing from so i had to reload to cya and recopy the zip to my internal sd card. i did factory reset and wiped cach/dalvik prior to installing. then after install i wiped cache/dalvik again as the guide said.
any ideas?

Yes.. which kernel did you choose? You need to flash the stock kernel.. what version of twrp are you using?

OK! so I got my tablet working with cleanROM at last!!!
I figured out why the zip files werent opening. for some reason my tab was only able to install from zips DIRECTLY on the internal sd card. whenever it tried one from the external sd card, despite being mounted, it was always unable to open the zip and would fail.
CleanROM got stuck initially because i used the WW version instead of the US version. Once i reflashed with the US version it worked great! had an issue with the start wizard crashing, but that went away after it stabilized. I stared customizing and playing and had no issues other than the SD card notification. That was an option i didnt choose to patch because i didnt know prior how annoying that notification was. it wouldnt get out of my notification window! so I flashed again, with that option enabled so that the sd card didnt bug me in the notification window.
I just got it back up and running, after the second flash with that modification added, and other than the start wizard still crashing(again, i let it sit a while and now it worked) it seems to be working great!
I hope my experiences can help newbies in the future that may have similar issues!

So.. which kernel did you choose? You should download the 2.0 kernel installer on the same thread, and choose the Unters tf300tG because you have 3g.. you will find your tablet runs ALOT smoother and faster than stock, but you need to flash the stock kernel first. Its a good way to do kernel flashes.

Also, you might want to get a different micro SD card, since the one you are using is having issues.

The kernel I used was the stock one.
I actually dont have 3G. mine is just a TF300T wifi only. Unless its the software that makes it 3G? But i dont think thats the case...
Would that alternate kernel give any other benefits other than 3G support?
Oh yea. Youll see a dramatic change in performance to say the least. Now. Im running a tf 700 kernel. But I would recommend you yo get the Unters TF300t kernel in the 2.0 Kernel Installer. Put the Installer zip on internal. Flash. Choose your kernel. Wipe cache and dalvik . Then reboot. You will not regret it.
