Hey Guys,
Yes it is my first post on this Forum but I've been looking many thread and no one awnser correctly...(I wish im the good section for this)
So i'm trying to install Cyanogenmod on my Optimus 2X and I can't install the Clockwordmod Recovery for some reason.
Here's what I did :
1. Install LG Drivers
2. Root Phone with SuperOneClickRoot
3. Download Rom Manager
4. Flash ClockWordMod Recovery
After that it restore and BootLoop until death
The only thing I can do is remove the battery, push Volume Down and Power and the Android Recovery Manager Wipe all my data.
I also made a Video of all the steps
watch?v=vMRcYgjtf7o (I can't post Direct link since i'm a new member..)
Hello!
Can you get in the recovery system?
Did you place a copy of a downloaded CM7-ROM on your external SD card?
If yes - just go to choose .zip from SD and flash it - after that you should be good to go.
BTW: I can recommend the KANG build by koboltzz(http://bit.ly/sbUogR) - works for me and is compatible with the ironkrnL.
And don't forget you may need LG-Ril from the market since the RIL included in the CM-ROMs is always 0218 and you almost probably come from 0725 or something else - and the RIL should match your baseband - LG-Ril Version will take care of this...
Greetings

No actually I can't access to the Recovery, that's the problem...
I Updated my first post with my video.
Also : What I'm suppose to do with the LG-Ril, I can see and change my Ril but everytime it say : The Ril dosent match with you Baseband...
Is your phone an Optimus 2x Wind?
Don't quote me on this but isn't that a g2x if it's a wind? Like the American one? So it needs the g2x recovery and ROMs? Or am I just talking out of my arse?
Sorry if I'm going down to the wrong road.
I finnaly made it work,
To Flash the CWM Recovery I used the NvFlasher (Work Great) : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1056847
Then I had some problems installing CM7 I looked up a bit and you were right @Fulwood Sedge I have the P999 version not the P990 wich is slighly different -_-".
Now I have CM7 Nightly running.
Thank You guys for the Help.
Last question : What Rom you guys recommend for best performance and everyday use ?
I'm using miui ATM and I totally love it. The UI changes on it are quality IMO. It's completely different look and feel and that's what I really like. And that's what I wanted from a custom rom.
Check this out: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1350761&highlight=Best+rom
It's been going for quite a while now so it gives up a good idea. But those are p990 ROMs and those won't work on your phone. So might be best to see if there is similar thread in p999 forum.
I use my phone 3-4 hours a day and I would not use anything other than Cm7 with vorkkernal. Love it, battery life is good, phone is stupid fast and basically everything works.
accelerometer calibration is a bit off though? Trials 2x doesn't really work as the acceleormeter isn't sensitive enough to tilt left/right. But rotating in web browsing etc works fine.

hi bro, sorry, i havent update my siggy for quite sometime. sold my s2 and using o2x now.
anyway, can anyone help?
What is happening..
I followed the directions exactly,
Rooted with superuser and SuperOneClick
Used ROM Manager to backup and chose Cyanogen 7.1 from the download section
Flashed ROM,
Now...its just shows the boot screen over and over for 15-20 min then everything goes black.
Did I just break my new phone?
UPDATE: Access ClockworkMod and tried to reflash .zip and clear cache, same result. As well I cannot mount my InternalSD to put on nightly CM instead of stable. Serious help needed!!!
UPDATE 2: My wife has the same phone as me, from the provider..could I copy her stock LG Optimus 2X from fido ROM and use it as a recovery for me??

i think your phone is p999 not p990. so that's why boot loop. i don't know if there's nvflasher for p999. i hope there's one so you can restore your phone to original.

Did you wiped/format all partitions before flashing cm7 ? It's mandatory when you change totally of ROM type.
You'd better use nightly, links are on the cm7 nightly download page.
In cm7 internal sdcard is mounted as /mnt/emmc. External is mounted as /mnt/sdcard.
Last thing: the file you grabbed is not a cwm file but a smartflash one I guess....
no way you can use CWM with that version. it only can use with smartflash

FAQs
What is the best ROM available?
Really depends on your needs are priorities. Totally bug-free ROMs are Froyo ROMs, and leaked stock Gingerbread ROMs. CM7 based ROMs, including MIUI, still have a few bugs. Go to appropriate threads for more details.
Can I get LG Apps and Widgets on CM7 ROM?
No, you can't. LG apps and widgets require the LG framework, and so will not work on non-stock based ROMs.
What are kernels? Should I install custom kernels?
It is sort of a bridge between applications and the actual data processing done by the hardware. Custom kernels provide added features such as EXT4, Voodoo sound, and many more. You can install a kernel just like you install a ROM.

can lg 2x have 850 1900 band?
thinking about getting me one, is the lg 2x stock rom "broken" heard a lot of bad things about it. what are the common problems with the phone? is there a way to get pure google on it ?
Stock Apps
Hi,
Took my O2XS to CyanogenMod 7.1.0 RC1, but I'm wondering how I could get the (stock?) FM Radio, the HDMI output and the (stock?) camera app working again. I don't miss the radio all that much, but to have the LG camera app would be great, since it has nice features I haven't seen in other camera apps. HDMI output doesn't do anything at all at the moment.
And please tell me when I posted this in the wrong section.
Thanks, Ippe

The stock ROM had some problems, causing the device to reboot spontaneously. That bug is fixed with some update: v10c. But you could get root and fix the O2XS up with another ROM, say CyanogenMod 7.1.0 (Android version 2.3.4).
I have mine several months now and I'm very happy with it. A minus could be the battery emptying fast, but so do all other smartpowerphones.
What I like best, is the dual core processor (fast!) and HDMI. It's easy to plug the O2XS into any TV and watch videos.
But of course you have to decide for yourself. Hope this here helps making a decision.
In CM7, you cant use HDMI to tv?

[Q] Custom partiation table?
Is it not possible through some way, to repartition the LG Optimus 2x so that all the InternalSD becomes internal storage on the phone. End result being a phone with ~8gigs internal storage and the proper linking of the External SD?
Or a repartition that simply resizes the InternalSD to ex 20 megs and moving the excess space to "Phone Storage". And then "bind" ExternalSD to /sdcard and thus getting the best of both worlds.
Hi,
I'm coming from a Desire Z but i'm not new to the android world.
i'll try to list here all the doubt i've with the O2X, I apologise in advance for the big number of question but I'll appreciate very much if you take your time and answer at all the question, so i'll not bother you anymore
1) Is there a rom based on v10c with all the necessary fix i've read in the sticked post?(perfomance, camera, etc...) In many roms they are not listed :/
2) After I've rooted, I'm able to unroot with the same tool? Or I've to make a backup of some internal partition?
3) What's the ext3 / ext4 problem I read in some rom thread? Maybe some roms use an ext4 system partition and the stock roms ext3 system partition?to change the partition File System, is necessary a specific recovery or tool?
4) How does it work the corelation baseband/rom? Every rom works with any kind of baseband, or it is necessary flash a specific baseband for a specific rom as i've read in some post?
5) If I doesn't have an external SD, there is some problem with the recovery? And if I insert next? it doesn't change the mount point of the internal SD right?
6) Why modaco doens't specify in what type of original rom version are based his roms?
Thanks in advance and sorry for my english.

Guys i need some help on creating my own rom..
I tried adb pulling entire /system and flashing that (ofcourse with scripts for cwm) but i failed to boot it.
Any suggestions for me ?
Have you tried the kitchen? It's designed for that... try searching for it.
Hey Rusty,
ive made a kitchen rom here http://romkitchen.org/lg/?s=generator
after that i replaced the apps in /system/app with mine, then zipped again but it wouldnt boot ?
Bleh, v10B is proper out of date anyway.
now i'm having a big problem after trying to flash other rom of cm7 without wiping
my phone can't do hard reset at all....... is there anyway to put it alive????
Boot into recovery and wipe.
Hey all,
Knowing you'll be able to help. I'm sorry if it's old ground but could do with assistance on updating BB and ROM.
I'm rooted and want to update the BB and instal Modaco FR19 but have worries.
Seen mentioned that you need to find the corresponding RIL for an update.....no clue how to find / go about this.
Got the LG RiL app and it confirms version 0419 (10D). Does that help?
Someone got a step by step guide for me on updating the BB so I dont brick it!!
Also got ROM manager and did a backup through CWM.
But in the process it says no internal SD so didn't backup the apps. Has it done everything correctly?
If I don't like FR19 (unlikey I know) I'd want to be able to restore back to my current ROM with data and apps etc.
Again....sure this is old ground but want to get off the custom ROM and old baseband
Thanks everyone
hi, the link below is for the BB updated provided by Paul. But i am unsure on the RIL - sorry

I used that post, and that post only to flash the latest BB on to mine and it all went smoothly first try
Thanks for the reply. Took the plunge. BB update was a sinch as soon as i knew to run smartflash as administrator (running windows7). Phone got stuck in a boot loop when putting modaco fr19 on it. Rwflashed the BB update and then all was fine. Glad to be rid of stock

Sent from my LG-P990 using XDA App
Hello - I tried to search but couldn't really find answers
I got my LGOS some days ago from Ebay.
He used Cyanogenmod but reverted it back to the Stock image "over the settings menu" - whatever that means.
It was still rooted (he said he did it with Gingerbreak) and had Superuser installed. Clockworkmemory is installed, too (I updated it to a newer version with ROMManager now).
It has the 10c firmware - that means unbranded if I understand that right.
I downloaded both RIL tools to figure out which RIL I have - but unfortunately they won't show me my RIL version
"Unknown RIL file found"
Baseband is 1035.21_20110405
Could somebody help me - what should I do next with my device? I think I want to stick with stock for now. Should I do a full revert with NVFlash? Or can I just use it? For the last 2 days I had no crash - it seems to work fine.
I owned a ZTE Blade before and did a lot of flashing (CM7 mostly). Just want to say that I am no total noob - but I am a bit confused with my new smartphone now
Thanks in advance
If it's working and you're happy with it, then don't worry about it.
Hehe thanks - and sorry for not making myself clear enough.
I want to stick with stock because it seems everything is working here. Maybe "stick" isn't the best word - "keep" would be better. I thought of a nandroid backup and then to try out CM7
It bothers me a little that no RIL version is shown - this works normally, doesn't it?
It works by comparing the MD5 of your lge-ril.so file against a list of known ones.
Whatever you have just hasn't been entered into it's database.

I am still a bit unsure about the way the pre-owner restored the ROM and rooted it.
First - does this apply to the LG 2x, too?
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1108201
It is strongly recommended that you flash clockwork recovery via NVFlash. If for some reason this or a future nightly build causes your phone to not boot up, you will not be able to boot into recovery unless you have it flashed via NVFlash.
To clear up some confusion, if you flashed your recovery via ROM Manager, you didn't actually flash a recovery. It is what we call a fakeflash, you should still probably flash with NVFlash.

Second: Is it correct how he restored the stock rom? He went to "Settings - Privacy - factory data reset" - but had installed CM7 before.
No it doesn't apply to the O2X, ROM Manager flashes properly.
If he did a factory reset, then it's not on stock ROM, just a blank CM7.

I mailed him again - now he clarified it
He reinstalled the ROM with NVFlash a while before he was on CM7 and then deleted all his data via the menu. This explains some remaining stuff & pictures on the internal SD card hehe.
Then it is okay - I just wanted to make sure that he did everything "correctly".
Thank you very mich Rusty for your patience with my noob questions
I had a similar problem when I Installed a 622 baseband, then stock froyo, then cyanogen.
Then I guess I installed the 622 RIL from GB instead of the froyo one and the result was an unknown baseband (in LG GetRIL app), locked sim and no phone network.
Going back to the froyo 622 RIL solved everything.
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

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.

hi there,
im still new to the o2x (got my phone yesterday) but i is comfortable with flashing android. i used to own a milestone and flashing roms but not KERNELS.
So my prooblem here is that i can never flash a kernel it will either end up in a boot loop or screen will just turn black. M i missing something here?
History;
1)Phone came with GB update yesterday.
2)rooted with the NVflash method.
3)DOwnloaded Rom manager and flash CWR via the app("flash CWR").
3)Then flashed CM7 stable.
p/s: i never flash any baseband, RIL...
I also picked the correct kernel that states for CM7..
and also im using a 8gb sd card.
your advice will be highly appreciated. thank you very muchh!!~
Hello!
Ok, 1st when you come from a stock GB you need to flash a baseband that is woking with CM7 as the stock GB-baseband is not...
Always before flashing format /cache, /system and wipe dalvik.
Install CM7-stable/nightly/KANG
Install gapps
Install kernel
Reboot
1st reboot might end in boot loop - pull battery after a few minutes - then you should be good to go.
If you still have a boot loop recheck everything. Maybe redownload rom or kernel – it might be broken.
thank you very much for your pm and reply. So implanning to revert back to froyo so that i dont need to flash any baseband am i right?. and try again...anyway is ril important?
on a side note, from wwhat i know, u need to flash the baseband that is closest to your country m i right? but im abit confuse after reading the post about baseband because they say certain baseband is better than the others.
Ok im a bit confuse now... so sorry dude...wht do you suggest I do now.. currently im on CM7 stable. just wanna flash the kernel.
1) i wanna revert back to stock to start all over gain. but i dont know which i to choose there r so many to choose..V20, v10 etc..which 1 is for CM7?...
**my aim is cm7 stable with [CM7 KERNEL][Dec12-REBASEv2] ironkrnL -- vork's bastard stepson**
2) i should flash baseband after this rite?..same prob...which 1 to choose?
lets say i flash this BIN_LGP990AT-00-V20e-ESA-XXX-OCT-28-2011+0.zip. can i just flash any random baseband or it needs to be in the same category'??
thank you very much for your advice...
MY GOAL: stable CM7 + ironkrnL -- vork's bastard stepson
ok heres an update...i reverted back to stock...
Android version:2.3.4
baseband: 1035.21_20110225 (does this mean that it is 0725?)
kernel version: 2.6.32.9
build number: GRJ22
LGE version: LGP990-V20e
it is based on the stock firmware:
BIN_LGP990AT-00-V20e-ESA-XXX-OCT-28-2011+0.zip
1)So my plan is, Im gonna root it with this method.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1327599
(w busy box installed)
2)then im gonna download Rom Manager from market and install CWM from the app.
3) after this im gonna backup the whole rom and start flashing bbaseband (which i dont know which i too choose yet rite now. after much reading, some say the 0218 is good for CM7 stable so im gonna use that.
4) ill be wiping everything (data/cache/dalvik) and flash 1) CM7 stable 2) Google apps 3) the target kernel accordingly.
let see how it goes.I hope i ll be right this time...
that kernel was very unstable for me, had tons of reboots and bootloops . maybe try an other kernel if it doesnt work.

use vorkkernel if iron kernel gives you reboot and bootloop
why don't use nvflash recovery from paul obrien.
Code:
http://android.modaco.com/topic/335474-25-mar-nvflash-stock-rom-release-v10b-dated-1300166062-15032011/
don't forget to install get ril app
Thanks for your reply. Yeah..i only had the chance to use nvflash once. After i flash cm7 , i have to press both volme up and down and usb instead of just pressing volume down and usb. Because of that i m always stuck at "nvflash started"
at last...i had nvflash working....thank the gods!....It appears tht u have to keep on trying until u it works for nvflash to execute..(I was stuck a " nvflash started ").
so heres a question. what baseband is usable for CM7 stable?..
after i flashed the based, basically i just hav to get the app get ril and im done for the first stage right?

Hello!
Any baseband compatible with Froyo is working with CM7.
I would use 0725 or 0823 some people recommend 0622 - they say it has least battery drainage...
For me personally 0823 works best since it gives me better reception indoors, which is far more important than battery life (at least to me ).
But you might have to do your own tests, since this might be influenced by factors like Provider and personal profile of usage.
I would recommend you start with 0725.
The best guide is this German one…
http://www.handy-faq.de/forum/lg_op...-lg_optimus_speed_p990_aktuelle_baseband.html
English How-Tos are here…
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1008070
I would say download baseband from 23.08.11(BB 0823) or 25.07.2011(BB 0725) from the German page at handy-faq.de and follow the English How-To.
The baseband Zipfile from Version 0823 contains 4 files – flash them in descending order of size. Baseband 0725 is only one file – this might be easier…
After this boot back to recovery install CM7, install gapps and kernel if needed…
Get GetRIL from the market (you could place this on you SD-card before) or LG RIL Version and download/install the corresponding RIL-Version…
Then reboot and you should be good to go…
...and BTW: I wouldn't use CM7 stable since this is rather old now and since its release there have been a vast amount of bug fixes and new features added.
I would go for the latest KANGs (see my sig.).
A2DP Bluetooth support for instance is now perfect. My phone connects to my cars radio and build in hands free unit without glitches, whenever Bluetooth is activated– that didn’t work with CM7 stable! Audio streaming works perfectly etc.
And if you want to save one step and you are planning in flashing a stock rom 1st because you fell your phone is messed up – use a froyo based rom 10d or something and you don’t need to flash a new baseband…
…and yes to have a corresponding RIL is important since a matching BB/RIL compo makes reception better and helps prevent glitches and crashes – but installing a corresponding/matching RIL is easy (see above).
thanks alot.... im now using 0622 (ginger) with the compatible 0622 ril based on LG getRil. what i did was i flash a froyo rom with nvflash. then flash baseband with smartflash tool. then i flash cm7. everything was right until....the kernel part...i downloaded the the vorkkernel app and downloaded the kernel from there. Still no success in flashing the kernel..the screen will just go black and continue that way...sigH~..i wonder what is the problem...
i ll try the kang in your signiture..Im sleepless for ddays because of this kernel..
P/S; iwonder why i cant wipe dalvik cache. it says "E:unknown volume for path [sd-ext]"
Hello!
Again gingerbread based basebands aren’t compatible with CM7 - they might work at first but you get loss of signal, crashes etc.
No need to flash new baseband when you come from a froyo based rom!
I wouldn’t use vorkkernel since it is to old – use ironkrnL.
CM7 stable is very old – use latest KANG.

vodonka promised to build a 00 ramhack - you can apply that later.
…or you copy on of his zImages a few posts before over the zImage in the zip mentioned above…

That’s normal – when it say dalvik is wiped – everything should be ok.
Hello!
Update - vodonka has posted his ironkrnL-builds!

Use either no ramhack version or 32MB ramhack version (but reboot won't work 32MB hack - but it is faster).
Wouln't use higher ramhack version since some things like camera or video recording certain games etc won't work anymore.
Best compromise for me is the 32MB hack since these extra 32MB speed up things considerably and only reboot doesn’t work – I can do without it. Shut down and then reboot isn’t that bad.
mr medicineman...u really made my day...i would like to elaborate more but let me digest what u have said first..will cme back later for some credits and how u helped me solve it..

Hello!
This depends on the version of ROM you flash...
i.e. v10d Euro open contains BB/RIL 0725 - if you flash something older you might get an older BB.
But 0622 is fine - it is even recommend by certain forums because some people report better battery life with it compared to the newer BBs – so if your reception is ok with that, no need to change it.
