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.

Looking at your menu description.....I dont see the option of "install from SD card" menu....
Did you install the ROM manager and through the wifi....get the CWM flashed for the device....
Check after tht....the CWM should be fine....

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.

I can't open the ROM Manager, since the phone won't get past the boot screen. What kind of software do I need to flash?

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:

Any particular tools in mind? I have one called smartflash (SmartFlashTool_P990) which requires .bin files.
Hi Dude,
Thanks for the link you uploaded. Can we install this on LG optimus 2x p990 indian model.
By mistake and lack of knowledge i didnt take back up of stock rom, while installing cyanogenmod. Now i want to go back to stock rom.

Do you reboot using CWM or the power button menu?
I get that error whenever I try to do it with CWM but with the power button menu or the 3 button way, it works like a charm.

by cwm do you mean rom manager? because yes it is quite hard to get into cwm with cwm?
op are you on stock? if you are running a custom kernel then cwm is part of it and rom manager wont work right just use the power menu or the 3 buttton fix. if on stock and rom manager is not going to cwm, its going into regular recovery and from there you can reinstall packages and it should boot you cwm.

He's following a guide so I think he'll be fine - The only thing is that he had lost his 3 button fix using Odin3 so he needed another way to get to recovery. I believe he got it working with abd and we should hear from him shortly

Imo he should stop what he is doing and use the odin package to flash the 3 button fix before going any farther then. Unless he already has a jig that is, then it doesn't really matter.
Oh wow.. nvm about my last reply.. I confused two different thread.
He should be fine getting in recovery with the power button menu. ROM Manager does tend to screw up when you try to access CWM recovery with it.
Yes, I just rooted my captivate and I installed rom manager, but when I try to reboot into CWM it just goes to the default manager.

have you done the three wipes ...normally recommended by all....check it and try again to restore
This happened to me but relax, nothing to worrys about
First press VOLUME DOWN and then POWER button altogether. You will enter RECOVERY MODE. On this mode, wipe all data (data, cache, dalvik, etc). There are 3 wipe data menus, take them all.
After wipe data success, flash your ROM again (Install from ZIP or Install ZIP from SDCard). That's all
Good luck dude

Guys I'm not flashing a rom im recovering the stock V21B for Fido Canada ROM. And I know that you need to reflash roms and clear all data/etc. when the rom doesn't boot up. That's NOT my problem. I need to restore but for some reason it's not working and so far the only good advise was the second post which i will try now.

OK, so I'm using ICS beta 4 for the Streak, and on ROM manager it says I have CWM 3.0.2. But when I try to boot into it, I either get stock recovery or fast boot. When I click on Software upgrade via update.pkg on SD card, on the stock recovery my screen turns blank and I have to hard reset.
Can someone help me get Clockwork Recovery please? Thanks!
PS. I used NVflash to flash ICS, don't know if that helps, but Im trying to provide sufficient information.
ICS B4 comes rooted with SuperUser7 and CWM 4.0.1.4 installed. Don't think that your supposed to use a ROM manager with it. Not sure how you have another CWM version unless you installed it yourself.
Reflash again and don't use the ROM manager app.
OK, well if it came with it, why can I not boot to it. I downloaded ROM manager but never used it. Never installed and other version of CWM, and if I did install another version, wouldn't I be able to see it? I can not boot to CWM.
Thanks for your suggestion, but reflashing is last option. Does anyone else think they know what's going on?
DO NOT USE ROM MANAGER!
First off, CWR isn't working very well right now, I have a new recovery image I've created that adds some functionality to recovery but its still a work in progress.
To get into recovery mode:
1) Power off device
2) Press Power and Volume+, hold
3) You will come into the Dell recovery menu
4) Use Volume (-) to get to "Install Package" and press Power to select
5) You are now in CWR
When I tried that it lagged a second and then booted normally. I'll post a video in a bit.

Did you use ROM MANAGER and flash a recovery? If you did, recovery is hosed and you will have to fastboot flash the recovery from the B4 directory.
I did use rom manager. And where would I find it in the directory?

How do i install cwm recovery (rom manager) so that i can boot in recovery mode? I installed flash recovery but had no changes.if i use the power button when phone is on, cwm is not in the list.
My phone is already rooted!
I'm not sure what you meen. You need root for rom manager to install cwm.
If you're rooted already just pick your model in rom manager and it will install cwm for you.

For touch version through rom manager you need premium licence I think.
You can download their *.img from cwm site, rename it to recovery.img, put it on your external sd and flash it to recovery with "dd" command in terminal.
"su"
"dd if=/storage/extSdCard/recovery.img of=dev/block/mmcblk0p21"
Make sure you get the digits in the end right or else you might not be able to boot again.

I also made a cwm flashable .zip with cwm-touch 6.0.2.7
Just flash it in cwm or twrp. Enjoy.
I downloaded from my phone.now i open it and it ask if i wanna open with 7zip or rom pre-install.i used rom pre-install.it ask boot and install.use that one? Or first extract?
reboot and install.
alright,i charge my phone battery first and then i go for it
what if i check; wipe data and cache on,what will happen?do u recommend?because if i go to battery,i see 2 android proces running
Yeah do that. Never flash with a bad battery
Nothing needs to be wiped for a recovery flash.
Wipe data will make a factory reset and wipe all your apps and user data, so dont.
You can wipe cache and dalvik cache without loosing anything. Cache rebuilds itself, but first boot takes a very long time..be patient.
thanks bro.
do you know why my battery shows 2 android processors running? (phone settings>battery) i get this list:
Internet
Android system
Android system
mediaserver
rom manager
mobile standby
so whats up with the 2 android systems?
bro.i installed. but how can i see if the instal succeed?how do i boot in recovery mode?
i dont think its working.
if i press the power button and you see the list with: shutdown,restart,airplaine mode....i dont see cwm

Thats an extended power menu. You won't find it in stock rom.
Reboot recovery from rom manager or use vol+/home/power combination.
alright,i will try that a other time.thanks again!!

If you get stuck in recovery and can't boot into Android, you need to install the stock recovery to get Android to boot.

READ THIS POST BEFORE INSTALLING ANY CUSTOM RECOVERY
CWM Recovery 6.0.4.8
(TWRP is in post 3, Philz Touch in post 4)
Click HERE for the latest version.
Please report any bugs here in this thread.
Thank you to everyone who has (and still will) help in testing!!!!

@Unjustified Dev for device and kernel source trees
and of course Koush and the CyanogenMod team
Watch THIS VIDEO tutorial for a step by step visual guide for performing the instructions listed below (thanks @Tomsgt for the video).
Instructions:
1. Download ODIN on your computer.
2. Power off the device.
3. Restart in "Download Mode" by holding the "HOME" button, "Volume Down" and "Power" all at the same time (for about 5 seconds).
4. Hit the "Volume Up" to enter download mode.
5. Start the ODIN exe program. Un-check Auto Reboot. See notes about ODIN below.
6. Connect the device via USB to your computer. Verify the device shows as "Added" in the Message box. If it doesn't show then you need the Samsung USB drivers (just install KIES to get them). Also need to enable USB debugging.
7. Select "PDA" (or AP) then choose the recovery file you want to flash. (Unzip the file you downloaded so that you have a file named "recovery.tar.md5".)
8. Hit "START". Wait for Odin to finish (~10-15 seconds). The message area will display "RES OK" when finished.
9. Restart directly to recovery mode before rebooting into OS.(Hold POWER, Volume UP, and the HOME button all at the same time. When you see the Samsung Logo, let go of the POWER button, but keep holding the Volume UP and HOME until you see the recovery screen).
Notes about ODIN
--Make sure that "Re-Partition" is NOT checked.
--Auto Reboot can be un-checked if CWM doesn't flash correctly on your device. Some have reported that un-checking Auto Reboot fixes this issue. If you un-check Auto Reboot, you will need to reboot the device yourself (refer back to step 9).
After you get the custom recovery working, you can flash the latest SuperSu zip to get root.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Watch this video to learn about the navigation issues and Rainbow Mode: http://youtu.be/iCNdxlNzdBI
If the highlight doesn't move on the recovery menu, the selection actually does change. Go ahead and hit Power to select. If the menu goes blank, just hit Volume Up or Down to get it to reappear.
It appears that the menu navigation issue only happens when you use the button combination to boot into recovery. If you use the Quick Boot app or "adb reboot recovery", it seems to work properly. Only use the 3-button method to boot into recovery.

Flash at own risk!!!!

After installation, you may experience slow behavior in recovery if you use the button combination to boot into recovery. Using Quick Boot from the play store or any other software method to boot into recovery will solve this problem.
