[RECOVERY] Easy Recovery for Optimus 2X (CWM & Stock)

ROM Manager now supports the O2X, use that instead!
---------------------------------------------------------------
This is a tool to easily switch recoveries on the Optimus 2X - this is simply a frontend for the .bat file that paul posted (same adb functionality), some people just prefer a GUI for these things and I had some time to kill. It includes the both the stock & clockworkmod recovery images and you get to choose which one to write to the phone.
Thanks to paul for both the clockworkmod & stock recovery images.
Notes:
- This will NOT work on the T-Mobile G2X - dont even try.
- You do not need a rooted device.
- If for some reason all hell breaks loose and the process fails or the program crashes, you can simply use pauls .bat file to overwrite the recovery image or try the program again.
Guide:
1. Make sure you have the LG mobile driver installed for your O2X (You need to be able to run adb commands).
2. Connect your phone to your computer and enable USB debugging (Settings->Applications->Development).
3. Open the program and follow the 3 steps.
Problems?
1. The program needs to create a folder to extract needed files, place the program in a folder with read & write access. (or run as administrator).
2. Your phone needs to be turned on.
Download:
REMOVED - Use ROM Manager instead.

While we are at it, would it be worth it to create a GUI to manage kernels and small tweaks?

Great job and... good idea!!!

nice and easy.
just the way i like it
thank you

Works flawlessly. THX!

nice
wow nice job,
you make it easy for everybody.
thanks allot.

a question, if I'm Rom Modaco ext4 or another, I click the stock and gives the mobile factory (stock ROM)?

What if I have more than one backup in CWM? And what exactly means Stock Recovery? Will it reset my phone to stock? without any CWM and stuff installed afterwards?

atm this program just lets you easily switch recovery images, so no it does not flash the stock rom.

As stated above, this tool only overwrites the recovery partition, it does not touch any other partitions - to get a stock ROM image you need to flash one using either nvflash or smartflash.

This does not touch your sdcard or any of the backups made by ClockworkMod recovery. This is a tool to change between ClockworkMod recovery and the stock recovery provided by LG.

wonderfull! +1

this has completely ****ed my phone.. wont even boot now.

Same problem here. Had to flash with NVFlash again...

This should not do anything that will prevent your phone from booting :/
It does the same as the .bat provided by paul that installs CWM. (Overwrites the recovery partition).
This does not touch the system or boot partitions, only the recovery. I don't know if the phone stops booting with a broken recovery (should only prevent you from entering recovery).
Could you try pauls installer? Also, what firmware did you guys try it on? I have tried on the V10a and V10b from LG plus the MCR. (This will NOT work on the T-Mobile G2X).
EDIT: Since ROM Manager is supporting the O2X, you should use that instead.

[Q] Boot freeze after trying to install Cyanogenmod

Hello XDA.
Being a tech illiterate noob, I rooted and tried to install the latest nightly build from cyanogenmod on my Optimus 2x. I gave clockworkmod superuser rights, booted in recovery mode and went on with the install.
Everything went fine (I think) until the phone rebooted. When it started, as usual, the LG logo is shown. Normally another LG logo comes up after the first one, only with an purple animation behind it.
When this comes up, it completely freezes at the very first frame of the animation. I tried waiting, I left my phone for over an hour, but nothing changed.
As previously stated, I am pretty tech illiterate, so of course I didn't make a copy of the original rom.
Now I can boot into something called Android system recovery <3e>, which says:
"Android system recovery <3e>
Android system recovery utility
reboot system now
apply sdcard:update.zip
wipe data/factory reset
wipe cache partition
__________________________
Formatting DATA:...
Formatting CACHE:...
Formatting MISC:...
"
And yes, of course I tried selecting that option, but neither of the keys work. The volume keys work as up and down keys, and the home button shows/hides the options.
I tried downloading the original rom from the giant thread of stock roms, but if you try clicking either of the links, you will see that they are broken.
HELP!

Have you tried the power button yet? Because the power button allows you to select things.
From there wipe everything (data, cache, dalvik) and make a fresh install of cm.

I installed ROM Manager yes. Do you mean that I should install CWM on my memory card? I'm not sure you understood me right, I can't get past the boot menu, meaning I can't install anything via the phone.

Some of the links there are broken, so I can't manage to complete the tutorial.
Also, I am very sorry, but I do not understand what you mean by that last part.

Let's see, you rooted, installed ROM Manager and Clockworkmod Recovery from within ROM Manager, rebooted and from Clockworkmod Recovery (Black Screen with Blue letters, lets you wipe and install zips from SD Card), you flashed the ROM, is that correct?
Can you boot into Recovery by holding the Power + Volume Down buttons? (hold for about 20 secs, until you get to the second LG screen)
If you can get to the recovery mode, try flashing another ROM.

You sir are correct!
I manage to start the phone as you describe, by holding down those two buttons I enter "Android System recovery <3e>", and can choose between the options as I described. HOWEVER, I can't select either of them, trying all the possible buttons (even combinations).
Update: I tried following this guide, but with no luck; http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1327599

Good
If you are in Clockworkmod, then you can browse through the menus using volume up/down to move up/down and press the search button (the magnifying glass) to accept or select an option.

I have a Optimus 2X Stockrom, i can upload the rom when i come home (you have to wait about 6 hours sorry ) Then flash the rom in cwm
Sorry for my english :/
Edit: It's the Europe Rom i hope this will help you too

The Europe Open could be what I'm looking for, thanks a lot! It's really hard to come by apparently.
Flashing it in CWM wont be possible though. Perhaps through PC software?

I will upload the Europe Open when i'm back from school.
You can flash the rom ether with cwm or with smartflash.
If you don't know how to flash it with smartflash i can explain it to you

Edit: I'm uploading the Rom now, but it will take some time (about 1 1/2 hours), because i upload with 90 kb/s.

That's your only solution, Flash some Stock ROM with a Tool from LG then root and flash a Custom one if you want.

I hope i can held you with this:

Can't install CWM after ZV9 root

I was running Ginervolt 2.0 on ZV7. I chose to install the Stock ZV8 rom using LGNPST. It eventually installed ok. Afterward it successfully installed the ZV9 Rom from the Big Red Mothership. I used @dexter35803 's VZ8/9 Root utility to root the rom and it worked. SU is installed and is allowing root access to cachemate and RomManager. However, I am not able to install Clockwork Mod.
I used Easy V8 to install CWM. it reported access denied.
I tried to install CWM using the one click method and it reported access denied errors.
My attempt to confirm CWM recovery was to use
Code:
ADB Reboot Recovery
from the command prompt to force it to boot into recovery.
That resulted in the LG Boot logo, followed by a black screen.
I used the PWR + VOL Down button to gain access to CWM, it proceded to wipe the user data like the stock recovery,
Lastly I used RomManager to install Clockwork. It succeeded in gaining root access via SU, and proceed to reboot. Now it's Stuck @ the LG Boot logo.
After waiting 5 minutes I pulled the battery. Now if I use PWR + vol down, it will wipe the user data, but again hang at the LG boot Logo.
What should I do?

use root explorer and go into system/etc/ and delete the file called install-recovery.sh
The reason why you aren't getting clockwork recovery to work is because the install-recovery.sh is a shell script designed to over write any recovery back to stock recovery on each boot. So when you run the cwr tools and the phone reboots the script immediately erases what you just did. So deleting this file before you run the tool will allow the tool to install a perminant cwr
then run V8 all in one root plus cwr here https://www.dropbox.com/s/l1090uvf1iw3jux/V8%20All%20In%20One%20-%20Root%20and%20CWM.zip
and choose install root and cwr options and viola

+1 on removing the script.
But before all that your going to need to flash the v8.tot in emergency download mode, use the test mode fix, update, use the v8 aio, and hope you have a nice day. if cwm doesn't stick then try removing the script described above and rerunning the aio smile and have a brewski for your time and trouble.

You should really read his second to last little paragraph. He used Rom Manager to install CWM when it's not supported for the phone. So now he'd have to install ZV8 through LGNPST to have a working phone again. Also, This should really be in General instead of Development.

Where should I start?
With the Phone @ the LG Boot Logo screen, the LGNPST windows application will not recognize the phone nor will ADB.
Update, found something
1. pull battery
2. pull USB
3. hold [PWR] + [vol Up]
4. Plug in USB
5. Wait for display to flash and read "Downloads in progress. Do not Disconnect cable. "
But this only lets me update the phonebook, not flash a rom or use ADB. what now?

When you select the phonebook file to flash, use the instructions on selecting the v8.tot. It'll flash everything, not just the phonebook.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but isn't cwm not available for v9? So going higher than v8 is useless until the way to install cwm is figured out, besides I don't remember seeing any posting that there said that there is a custom ROM for v9 yet.

able to flash rom
I found an old machine in the basement today with Windows XP installed Nativity on the machine. I was using an XP VM for this. I was able to use LGNPST to successfully flash the TOT files while the phone working. I was not able to flash after bricking it.
Now with a native XP machine, I am able to flash the rom.
Sorry all for the noob-ism. Its been a long weekend here.
Also, is there no CWM for ZV9? How would I find out? I thought there would be a Sticky for that.
- Also, no I am in this
Test Mode

. Time to research that one.

There is cwm for V9. The V8 aio works just fine.

test mode fix
I found the thread on
Code:
[URL="http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=26737282#post26737282"]Test Mode Fix[/URL]
But it just crashes in XP native. Any thoughts? I have installed DotNet 3.5 Framework, but that doesn't seem to work.

Well, I found the zv4 TOT rom that I could download from. (most of them now only let the owner re-download.)
I flashed it with LGNPST. So with this FroYo rom, it no longer reported to be in Test Mode, when plugging in a USB cable. However, it also would not update through
Code:
Settings Menu --> About Phone --> Software Update --> Check New.
I used LGNPST again to flash the ZV7 rom over ZV4. However the phone again reports being it test mode @ startup and when plugging in to a PC.
I hope the VZW store can fix this, i am all out of ideas.

I would try the test mode fix on another computer first. Test mode is an obvious sign you did something you weren't supposed to do
You may have to run it a couple of times for it to fix test mode. You'll know when it works, after reboot you will see USB icons in the notification bar.

Not seeing your sim card has nothing to do with root.
Is your sim card activated? If yes, is it for the same carrier your phone came from? If not, is the phone unlocked?
If it's not unlocked and you're using a sim card from a different carrier than the one who's attached to the phone, you'll have to unlock it. There are guides in here on how to do it, that being said, you could also pay a small fee to get the unlock code.

All the information you need about Captivate is here on XDA. Just use Search and read. You don't provide any information about your phone. What ROM you are trying to root? What carrier you are currently using? What SIM card is not working? Is the phone unlocked? Is IMEI number correct after flashing custom ROM? What Android 4 ROM you have installed, etc.?

There are plenty of unlockers on the playstore.
You night not have to go back to 2.3.5 but if you do, use odin KK4 without bootloaders found in the dev section stickies.

Quickie guide to installing ROMs.
1. Grab the desired ROM of choice. Cyanogenmod 10/Slimbean is a good start
2. Get the gapps for the ROM. http://goo.im/gapps/.
3. Get cyanogenmod7 from http://download.cyanogenmod.org/?device=captivatemtd
4. Get CWM here: http://www.semaphore.gr/kernels/Semaphore_2.5.0c.tar
5. Heimdall here: http://www.glassechidna.com.au/products/heimdall/. You don't need to install anything extra with 1.3.1
6. Copy the gapps, CM7 and your ROM of choice into the internal AND external SD card. Some rom comes with a kernel that don't play nice with either SD card, so both is better.
Install
7. Extract Heimdall, go into the driver folder, open Zadig.exe
8. Pull the battery of the phone, put it back in. Hold Volume Up + Volume Down and plug in the USB cable
9. Once Windows detect your phone, click on option -> List all device. Look for Gadget Serial Control, Samsung Composite Device or similar. If it look like your mouse/keyboard/webcam/other internal component, don't touch it. Click on Replace Driver, and wait for it to install.
10. Go back into the heimdall folder, hold shift, right click the folder and select open command prompt here.
11. Using 7zip/WinRAR, copy the content of the Semaphore_2.5.0c.tar file to the heimdall folder.
12. On the Command prompt, type:
heimdall flash --kernel zImage
13. Once your phone reboots, it should bootloop. No problem. Pull the battery, put it back in, hold volume up + volume down and press power until it turns on. You may need to do this a few time. It should boot into recovery mode.
14. Select install zip file from SD card -> Choose from Sd card -> the Cyanogenmod 7 file. Confirm with yes
15. It should reboot automatically, and bootloop. Do the pull battery trick from 13 to get back into recovery mode. Do 14 again. This time it shouldn't bootloop.
16. Go back to the main menu - Wipe Data/Factory Reset -> Reboot
17. Wait for it to boot.
18. Go back into recovery mode, and Wipe data/factory reset again. Install the ROM of your choice, along with the gapps. Newer ROM should ask you to flash it again to confirm. Do it.
19. After flashing, wipe data/factory reset again, before rebooting
20. Enjoy

Step 19, do NOT factory reset after flashing your ROM. Cache and dalvik should be wiped prior to flashing the ROM and gapps. Reboot after and let it rebuild it's dalvik. Finally, step 20.

Does it matter? I usually just wipe before and after

Depends on your recovery really, factory reset usually wipes the ROM (or at least used to back when I used cwm). Whether it still does or not though, it's repetitive and unnecessary.
Edit: ok just made sure. It's actually just unnecessary.
