I have rooted my G2X and installed the latest Clockwork recovery file and wanted to know is there a stock recovery image I can flash using clockwork recovery? Or is there a one click method out there somewhere?
I just want to know if I have to take the unit in for repair, I can flash everything back to stock?
Ok..... I just rooted my replacement LG Revo then installed the RevoToolKit by theCubed. I did "3" back-ups of the stock ROM before I flashed to Revoltrom1.2. Now when I try to restore to the stock factory rom I get a "md5 mismatch" while in recovery boot thru RevoToolKit and cannot restore the factory rom. Any ideas????
LG Revo
2.2.2 Froyo
Kernal: Stock
ROM: Revolt 1.2
Baseband Version: ZV4
Installed CWM Recovery: v4.0.0.2-pr1:

which method are you restoring using?
I go into Revotoolkit, boot into recovery mode, select backup/restore, advanced restore, then pick one of the three stock back ups i did before I flashed to Revolt, restore system and it keeps giving me the md5 mismatch.
I should add that I did the back ups thru the RevoToolKit, menu, boot recovery, back-up/restore, back-up.I even get the same md5 mismatch when I try to flash revo de-crap no matter which method I use and no matter how many times I redownload it. Thanks for all of your input and hardwork. Noobs like myself GREATLY, GREATLY appreciate it!!!!

When you restore a stock back up, just use restore, not advanced.
I'm Revolting and Home-Less, how about you?
I did that and still get the same thing
Alright, if you are on Revolt, just hold the power button and recovery should be an option. I don't see why that would make a difference, but one less step lol. For DeCrap, Revolt, or Home-Less once in recovery go to backup/restore, advanced, system restore, and pick which rom you want (DeCrap, Revolt, or Home-Less). If flashing a stock back up once in recovery go to backup/restore, restore, and choose from factory one. If still having problems, you may try reinstalling stock recovery with revotoolkit, then reinstalling cwm. Good luck!!!
Tbanks!!!! I am a noob so how would I reinstall cwm ? Reroot??
How did you install it the first time? Did you use revotoolkit?
Yes. I rooted using one click and got recovery using revotool
ok you can install stock recovery with revotoolkit, then use it again to reinstall cwm
Should I reboot afterwards and/or clear the caches??
As you can tell, I am a noob to all things root and rom and have very, very, very little to no experiance with programming. This phone is a replacement to one that was new and rooted with revolt and somehow it lost all recoveries and would not leave the boot recovery screen. The insurance sent me a BRAND NEW one which I have now. I rooted with one click, then installed RevoToolKit, booted into recovery, backup/restore, then backup. Did this three times before loading any new roms. i then tried to install revo decrap and got the md5 mismatch, so I installed Revolt1.2 and all worked fine. Basically, I want to have the option to go back to the stock shipping rom(LG and VZW apps just like the phone was never touched).
When I try to restore the shipping rom I get the md5 mismatch. No matter if I go thru boot recovery, backup/restore, backup and pick one of the three, and I have tried doing it through the advanced and get the same thing. I rooted to have the ability to freeze/remove bloat then decided to change roms. Everything works great except some features like the voicemail button or voice search buttons give me errors that state: process was stopped unexpectedly. I went into revotoolkit and changed the recovery from cwm to stock revo and back and still no luck. What are my options? If I take it to Verizon will they reinstall the stock shipping rom, and if so, since the warranty is void since rooted, any idea on what they charge to do that? Thanks so much for the help, knowledge and patience that ALL of you have had.
Would appreciate if someone could help me with my problem - I had earlier used CF-Root to root and install recovery which went off well, took a nandroid backup and then tried to flash CM9 through recovery. WIthin a few seconds it rebooted, showed the Cyanogenmod splash screen and went back into recovery - only this time it was a newer recovery (6.0.0.2) than what CF-Root had installed. I'm not able to install through zip file and for some reason I am not able to restore from nandroid as it says the md5 does not match. So as of now I am stuck in recovery.
To add to this, I realize that I messed up as the instructions said to update to a GB rom if coming from Froyo, which I did not notice. Any idea what I can do from here? If I can still run through this process can someone point me in the direction of a suitable GB ROM I can install? My end goal is to be on CM9, but right now would just be happy to get back to the stock GB ROM as well.
Flash to the stock firmware again? at SamMobile? That is what I did when my device did not boot up after installing CWM recovery and some rom.

Thanks sos_sifou - worked great! I think I'll stick with the Overcome GB ROM for a while as it works pretty good, and look at CM9 / 10 whenever it gets stable!
Hello, I have been searching through forums to find out how to install the clockwork bootstrap and a custom Rom, i came accross a question i can not solve.
Since the CWM is only a bootstrap and is located in the system partion and it is not possible to restore from it if your phone goes into a bootloop then does it also not erase the orginial recovery? Basicly my question is if i get the CWM and a rom will I be able to restore back to the orginial stock OS without bricking my phone? As far as i understand i can because the bootstrap doesnt touch the recovery partion? If this doesnt work is there any other way that i can restore back to stock if i brick/get bootloop???

First, try the linked thread above. Second, you can use the stock recovery (Vol- + power) to do a factory reset. If that doesn't work, you can always reflash a .kdz file.

Do it like muellersmattes sayed. If that doesn't work, you have to flash the stock firmware aka .kdz file.

Hi Guys,
I am using Zues rom 6.4n on my OB. Huexxx included G-key recovery so whenever I got bootloop and if I had Zues Rom Installed, I can easily go in recovery mode.
Strange thing happened today. I have recovery 6.0.1.4. I did take backup of Stock rom first and Installed CM10.2. I found some bugs so rebooted in recovery, restored backup (stock rom). When I restarted my phone, it couldn't even see boot animation. Phone got stuck on LG logo. I had to use smartflash tool to revert back to stock rom with root. That time since I didn't have Zues ROM, G-key recovery didn't work.
Can anyone give me any solution on this? Also, can anyone help me how to create G-key recovery zip file which will help when phone gets stuck in bootloop?
Thanks,
Sumedh
