[Q] How do you backup your current ROM?

i know CWM.. but for this phone any backup from that app is useless... you can't restore from it.

Why can't you restore from it?

everytime i try to restore. i just end up with the LG Logo, making me just install another CR (which works) but the backup i made with that same custom ROM and my modification/apps are useless.

This happens to me, too. I've tried with many different backups, but same result every time.

I've already restored once without problems, gonna restore once more tomorrow (now i'm doing some experiment with official rom), so i will report (i have CWM 3.2 now).
What CWM version are you using?

I'm using the CWM 3.0.2.8
Have only tried restore of stock backups, so only way to get back to stock rom for me is with the smartflash tool.

yeah so it seems CWM can't really restore backups, be it stock ROM or Custom ROMS. utterly useless rom a restore point of view.. but i think it is something to do with the way it back ups our current ROMs

Use the guide in this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1008070
It will totally wipe your phone, though. Backup all important files, or place them on your external SD-card.
Edit: You'll need the original ROM file from this thread, too: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1035041

After the CWM restore just reapply the rom.zip. It should boot again, with all settings restored.
Did a restore that way today myself, after upgrading my baseband from 0405 to 0502.

How to put my original back up back?

Hey
I've recently started flashing but I'd like to get back to my original ROM now (also the original LG ROM, stock rom). I made a back up before flashing and I just tried to restore it but my phone isn't booting up now, it's stuck at the second LG screen...
Any tips?

Try use smartflash.. most easy way, nvflash..

The stock rom is EXT3 so you need to flash BackToEXT3 in recovery and then restore the backup. You can get the zip file from the development forum. From CM7 build 146 onwards they are using EXT4.

You must install the backto Ext3 zip file with CWM, then to be sure perform a factory reset in CWM (reformat /cache and /data), then Wipe Dalvik's cache (in advanced option of CWM), then finally restore your backup using Restore option.

Thanks man, I'm about to do this. This explains my problems

[Q] Optimus 2X stuck on LG logo/Not booting

Hello experts,
After CAREFULLY reading the instructions to root and install Cyanogen on my X2, I have run into a problem. After downloading Rom Manager from the market, I installed CWM, which worked fine.
Going by the instructions, I wanted to ensure I performed a NANDroid backup of the stock ROM, 'just in case'. So i did.
After confirming, and granting 'su' privileges, the phone restarted, only to be stuck on the LG logo.
Holding down VOL DNW + POWER is no help, as the phone was still stuck on the logo.
I don't understand what I have possibly done wrong, but none of this was stated in the wiki so I am assuming i'm in a unique situation?
After some googling:
> I have read that it may be from CMW converting to EXT4.. whereas the stock rom can only run in EXT3? .. android.modaco.com/topic/336318-4-apr-r1-backtoext3-for-converting-your-device-er-back-to-ext3/ ..
> All hope is not lost as apparently, I can flash to stock rom using NVFlash: .. android.modaco.com/topic/335474-25-mar-nvflash-stock-rom-release-v10b-dated-1300166062-15032011/ ..
Ok, so I understand I have a possible solution to my problem (NVFlash), however I would like to know why this happened & how I can avoid it from happening in the future.
Thanks for your help in advance.

Incase anyone else has the same problem,

Does this mean two versions of CWM are installed?
One with Rom Manager & one with NVFlash?
If so, how to get rid of one?

NVflash is a built in safety system by nVidia, it has nothing to do with the recovery image. You should be very careful with NVflash, because it's very low level and even the slightest mistake could brick your phone.

[Q] A couple questions about O2X

So bascially last night i installed Rom manager for my phone. From Rom manager I installed CWM
I made a backup in recovery.
I restored my backup( might have no wiped dalvik or cache)
now i am stuck with the lg logo flashing on and off. however i can still boot into recovery.
I dont know if the problem was caused by flashing the wrong recovery or because i didnt wipe the cache
Can someone please tell me the version number of the right CWM for OPTIMUS 2X.
i have 2 backups which are on the memory of the phone not on my sd card.
I need to know how to get back to stock. Thank you.

OK

When you have smartflashed this old stock ROM, you can use the LG Update tool to get to the latest ROM available to you.
Or you can root your phone again via NVFlash and go back into the Flashing circus.
Always carefully study, what the devs write about their ROMs and how to flash them, there are a lot of different ways to make the ROMs behave.

[Q] recovery

hi guys, i tried to unroot and restore my lg optimus 2x to his original settings. the problem is, i used a tutorial that had a Stock Data Backup. So ive done everything in the video, but when i finished and rebooted, the phone stucked at lg logo. I dont have anye recovery of mine because i deleted everything from the card. what can i do ? :/

if you want stock rom, without root/cwm you can flash a rom with smartflash.
