Can't flash a ROM, or restoring a Nandroid

Hello,
I can't flash any ROM. I have the ClockWorkMod recovery. When Flashing a ROM, for example Cyanogenmod, it flashes it in 10 secons, and when I reboot it gets stuck on the lg splash. When trying to restore my anandroid backup witch I made with the same CWM 4.0.0.5, I get an error: Can't mount /system!
What can i do? Do I need making partitions? Are there HBOOTS in lg optimus 2x?
Thanks

update cmw version to 5... that should fix your problem

Really thanks for your reply, but my problem is that i can't even flash a ROM or restoring my own backup I made. How can i update it?? Thanks very very much!

Flash ext4 converter from the recovery, and then flash the rom http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1037751
And I am assuming the backup you are trying to restore is from a stock rom, then flash backtoext3 from recovery and then restore.
Both files are available from the same thread.

And also don't forget to update CWM to v5, install rom manager from market and flash the latest recovery

Ok, so really really thanks for your answer. the backup is from the original LG ROM...does that change something??
Thanks!

Yup, the stock rom is ext3 while cm7 is ext4. Its just two different filesystems.

So, the steps I have to follow are:
1. Flash ext4 converter
2. Flash a new ROM
3. Flash CWM 5.x.x.x with Rom Manager
And, whenever I want to restore my backup, I need to flash before the backtoext3 patch.
Is that right? Sorry for being so stupid!

You need to first wipe data, cache & go to advanced and wipe dalvik cache.
You need to flash backtoext3 only if the backup you are trying restore is from a stock rom or a rom which is using ext3 filesystem.
Sent from my Optimus 2X using xda premium

Ok, so finally I have successfully restored my backup. I flashed the ext3 patch and done. Now I have installed CWM 5.0.1.6 Is this recovery ok?
Now, before doing anything, I want to know what steps do I have to follow to install a ROM.
Even having this new recovery, do I have to flash the 4ext flasheable to install roms like Cyanogen, Thanatos, Miui...?
Thanks!

I am having v5.0.2.0, Check the rom manager if there is an update if not than that recovery should be fine.
To install a rom you need to wipe data, cache and dalvik cache. After that just flash the rom.
You don't need to flash ext4 zip, because ext4 based roms will automatically convert the system to ext4.

Thanks, normally, how long does it take to flash a Cyanogenmod nightly? It took me 20s...is that normal??

Just flashed CyanogenMod...AND WORKING!!! So good...Now...The best ROM for you? Thanks!

I think this thread should help you. An all in on place.
- Make sure that you read and understand complete instruction on the particular ROM developer's thread. Pay attention to the possible problems and solutions.
- Nandroid backup. Backup other user data and applications
- Make sure that you wipe/format the /system partition before flashing a ROM. I was not doing this untill recently. Ever since I started formatting /system partion, not getting SODs and BSODs like before
- The CWM you are using now is bit outdated. Look for the latest version - I think it is cwm-5.0.2.7-R2. Check out this link.

[Q] Nandroid Restore CM10 --> ICS

Hi All,
Is it OK or Possible to Nandroid restore my old Stock ICS ROM from CM10 CWM ROM(Recovery) ?
Thanks.

Yes. Done it many times.

You're on a safe kernel, so it will be fine, be aware when back on ics if on stock kernel you need to be careful or install safe kernel.
Sent from my GT-N7000 using xda premium

yeah I guess if he made a nandroid backup of a stock rom.. 99% it has a safe kernel in it.

Thanks for the help guys ... :highfive:
& I hope the other way is also OK (Restore CM10 Nand backup from ICS CWM recovery) ?

ya

Sorry if I am asking/saying something wrong..will the Nandroid restore work if currently using a different kernel than the backed up one? Read somewhere that current kernel & backed up kernel should be the same for the restore to happen properly..

no.. u can restore the nandroid made on any kernel. just that when the nandroid restore completes the kernel will be that inlcuded in the nandroid

Thanks guys :good:

You may well face bootloop after restore, just clear cache and dalvik from recovery, should clear it fine.
Sent from my GT-N7000 using xda premium

clear cache and dalvik from recovery + format /system
then restore from recovery
(recomended) restore using recovery & kernel you using for backup
works great for me

[ROM]CyanAOSP v0.5.2 (NEED HELP)

Here's the problem can anyone help me upon this.
I was using Cynogen Nightly 9.1 version then I saw [ROM][JB][4.2.1][18/01/13] CyanAOSP v0.5.2 [Stable | For Gaming] seems amazing so then I downloaded and installed successfully. Everything seemed okay but as the ROM started it was giving me a constant error which was like "Wizard stopped working" I was totally unable to get my hands on this rom.
So I then updated my rom again to cyanogen 10.1 Nightly.
my question is should install it now will it work fine?

AW: [ROM]CyanAOSP v0.5.2 (NEED HELP)
I think something went wrong when you installed the first time.
Follow this steps and it should work:
1. Backup your data
2. Enter recovery
3. Wipe data/factory reset
2. Wipe Cache
3. Wipe Dalvik Cache
4. Under mounts and storage --> format/system
5. Then install the zip
6. Enjoy

Hi, I also tried the ROM and got the same message (setup wizard...)as you did. After all the "wipes" and format "system" and "datadata" i also made the error of formating SDcard.
Now I have my phone in Restart loop showing Galaxy S logo and then SEMAPHORE....and loop.....and loop....
Sugestions?
Thanks in advance

If you can enter recovery try to wipe data and install again ( under mounts and storage you can mount USB and put files on your sd)
If you can't enter recovry you have to flash GB over Odin

If you start from GB then the order is nornally the following:
-Flash GB (1 or 3 parts)
-Root (flash a kernel via odin)
-Install Rom via recovery
-evtl. Gapps

Dude 1st: format/wipe everything
2nd: install/flash rom

still nothing...
I install it again without re-flashing kdz
is it right?
or I need to flash the kdz, wipe all then install?
now I use TWRP recovery.

Probably now you have some kind of tutti-frutti of files in your phone...
Better flash your phone with .kdz or other method, after that follow the tutorial.

Did you flash from ICS? You need to be on V20 (JB) before you flash it.

Oh, just realised you stated you formatted system. You're not supposed to do that since /system contains the ROM, so it wouldn't boot past kernel logo.

I need to reboot into recovery, do a factory reset, system wipe, cache wipe, data wipe and then install?
TWRP is the same of CMW?

I sugest you to use adb instead of terminal.
Once that you facrtory reseted the phone, check if you didn't forgot nothing... root, etc...
Try install SuperSU if you have Superuser.
