I did root my phone, and installed ROM manager from android market. Then I got an microSD card, and downloaded two ROMs to the card.
http://wiki.cyanogenmod.com/index.php?title=LG_Optimus_2X:_Recovery_and_CyanogenMod
I followed both methods, and I cant get it isntalled. Did a full wipe and couldnt install. Anyone got a guide for this?
ROMs ive tried was update-cm-7.0.3-encore-signed
and Fr17-vanilla-update-modacocustomrom-2x-kitchen-unsigned
try it with an other sd card, with my 8 GB SD i cant install anything, but with my old 1 GB card i can install all roms and other stuff

Well, im tryin to install it Touch-IT V5.061 but my phone keeps saying 'no image file'. Ive used hard-spl and ive installed other rom's but these are stock rom's never a custom one. Im trying to install it using the sd card method. It just wont work. Is there anything i can try? Thanks in advance.
Try it with another sd card.maybe is card's problem.My 1G card is also can not flash rom,but the 4g one is ok.
Well i have had no problems before, and i tried installing and older stock rom and that works fine.
Anyone? Please? Ive tried searching but i cant find much.
did you renamed image to Kovsimg?
did you have .nbh file extension?
Yes, both of those. Like i said im used to rom flashing before on my phone, but this just wont work with this rom. It works with any of the standard xperia roms.

Perhaps your copy of the nbh file is corrupted ?
Try downloading the ROM file again.
are you sure you 3 colour screen says 0.52.OliNex if not you have to hard spl again until it says so. without working hspl your not able to flash custom roms phone will say no rom found
Sorted now, i used the rom update utility. Enjoyin the rom now.
The SD card has to be formatted in FAT32 for it to work

The easiest method is to flash the zip file found in the thread below (flash 2nd edition, be sure to follow instructions for that edition, dont format boot.). You will need to have clockworkmod recovery 3.0.1.0 installed for it to work (wont work with 3.0.0.5). Note: this will more than likely erase cwm recovery. If you want to make a change in the future to another Rom, there are threads in which you can burn cwm recovery to an sd card, boot from that card and install cwm and the rom of your choice back internally. I have done all of this myself without any issues. Good luck

why don't you just install CM7? it's full featured and much more stable.

I tend to agree. 3.0 was really nice, but lacked working flash player among other things. If you want to test drive, may try to run it from an sd card.

If you do think about running HC off of an SD card, be sure to look for an SD card that runs well. I originally ran HC off of an SD card and the experience was okay, but nothing as good as running off of eMMC. I actually agree with the previous posts: CM7 is definitely the way to go at the moment...just wish the bluetooth was a little more stable.

What version of CWM did you use to flash 7.0.3, cuz I heard some people had issues flashing nightlys with older versions of CWM. I currently have a 3.0.0.5, I think, bootable CWM SD card and am wondering if I should update it before trying to flash 7.0.3
On a side note I have always kept CWM on an SD card versus on the emmc. Is it better to keep it that way or should I flash CWM to my emmc?
Thanks for any info.

You shoul update your recovery. If you don't have problems yet, you will!!! I was on CWM 3.0.1 and could not flash any of the recent nightlies. Current version of CWM is 3.0.2.8
Thought so. Will update my CWM SD card to the latest before I move to 7.0.3.
Thanks
If I am just updating to a newer version of the same software my apps and what not will remain correct?

Sorry I missed part of your question. Here is my preference.....
I flash clockwork recovery to my EMMC, because it makes switching ROM'S much easier. I also keep and emergency 2GB SD card imaged with CWM and a stable version of CM7, gapps, & OC kernel......for those occasional emergency oh $hit situations.
Cool thanks for the suggestion. I haven't had any of those moments yet but its best to be prepared.
I think i didn't make my question clear. When i asked if my apps and what not will remain, i was talking about when i update my nook not CWM. Will all my apps and data be on my nook still after i update to 7.0.3 from 7.0.2?

If you go from 7.0.2 to 7.0.3 and only wipe cache & dalvik your apps will remain, but it's still not a bad idea to use an app like Titanium to back up your apps & data. Sometimes things just plain go wrong when enhancing our devices.

Thanks for all your help I now have my updated cwm SD card, flashed 7.0.3, and flashed the of kernel. Looks like I'm golden for now.
What is the exact process to upgrade from 7.0.2 to 7.0.3 on a CM7 SD installation with a stock 1.2 on eMMC?
I was notified of the update on my NC but when I try to install it, it will NEVER get into Recovery on its own. The only way it works is if I remove the SD card upon reboot, it then asks for a SD card, and then it says the file can't be found yet I can see it's right where it should be.
Is there a manual way to update it on my SD card via my computer to where I don't lose any apps and/or settings? Still quite new to this obviously...
Thanks!
HI ALL. first about my phone.
OPTIMUS 2X Canadian
Android version: 2.2.2
Kernel version:2.6.32.9
Baseband version:1035.21_20110823
Builder number:FRG83G
LGE Version LGP990hN-V21B
its rooted and have latest CMW on it.
now the question!
this is my primary phone that im using every day to wake up to navigate with gps to go to internet on wifi and 3g. camera everething!
so what rom i can put on it without changing baseband and so on. is there rom that can put on sd card and flash it?
You can flash CyanogenMod 7 ROMs or Official stock Gingerbread based ROMs, whatever you want. Baseband works with every ROM.
Concerning the procedure, you should rather read several howto in Dev section: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1037751
To root if not done, you can use Superoneclick as you are on Froyo.

Yes like any other ROM... I think you mean ROM that won't replace your Baseband? Every ROM that is not clearly intended to be flashed with nvflash or smartflash will do it: Thanatos, Topogigi, Djdroid, CM7, and so on are all in CWM format.
wanted to install the rom. but before wanted to make a back up of my system! now when im doing backup from CWM its backing it up to the internal memory! not to the sdcard! is it normal?
from where you flash the CWM?? from rom manager or from rusty?
i flash the CWM from rusty and choose for external sd-card. every time i backup my system it always backup to external SD card
I'm doing power button +volume down. then selekting back up to external sdcard. but it saves it to internal
just did one more time backup. its processing and generating everething but when it comes to back up to sd_ext it shows no sd_ext found skiping the process.
the card is instaled and have about 7GB free spase, the CWM sees it as i instaled camera mod from there before.

I think I will give up after this answer. Don't bother about sd-ext it isn't used in O2X, and has nothing to do with sdcard.
Read again and again and again first post in Rusty! thread about his CWM version and you'll perhaps understand how to flash it to have external sdcard used....

As i understand from your earlier message, your device is already rooted. Why dont you try installing the ROM manager from the android market and then in the ROM manager settings you can choose to backup in the Ext SD card or the internal one.
goto settings-use external storage-click and then power down your device. Start with CWM-Power + Vol down key...now you have the backup stored in Ext SD card.
Hope this answers your question...Thanks...

Try the Topo 2 SP3 ROM with HorsePower SR1 Kernel. It has some LG stuff though...but, it is very stable with all the goodies of GB 2.3.4. I used a few ROMs and settled on this cause of the stability and battery performance. There are a few themes for this ROM to customize.....although there are a few more ROMs in the dev section.
You have to flash and check ROMs if you have the time and information...if you want to have more information...maybe you can PM me. I can help you.
Thanks
My rule of thumb would be:
If you want stability, stick with stock. If you want bleeding edge, use an AOSP rom.

Hello, I have a Verizon sch-i800 that had a bad internal SD card. I followed the guide, removed it and I now have CWM on it. My external SD card is formatted and I can access it using the adb commands and CWM. I am needing to find out what Roms I can try on it.
I'm only able to search the web using my phone at the moment and would have to go to a hotspot with my laptop to download any Roms. I've only been able to download one so far with my phone because of signal drops.
After changing the updater.sh with the pacman 4.3.1 ROM I downloaded I found that it came with twerp and won't work as far as I know.
I can't find Terence's cm 11 build. Perhaps there are others?
Can you guys help me with finding a usable ROM?
Also, is this tab also known as p1000? Its written on cables in the tab.
