[Q] Cannot install ClockworkMod Recovery, stuck reboot loop. Please Help

---

Hello

I recently got a LG Optimus 2x phone from Wind Mobile in Canada. I was successful in rooting the phone using Super One click and was able to install and run Titanium Backup, Busybox and a few other apps requiring root Access.

Following the numerous guides on the internet, I tried to install the ClockWorkMod Rom Manager (from the market), but when i click on the "Flash ClockworkMod Recovery" and select my phone it will download across the top and give the error "an error occurred while attempting to run privileged commands". When i try to run anything else after I get a force stop error and eventually my phone will just restart on it's own and go into a Loop.

At this point i have to hold down the power and volume down key to boot into the recovery, but most if not all my apps are gone at this point.

I have tried to run the the "Fix Permissions" command from clockworksMOD but that does not work and the same errors happen.

A few extra notes:
I did it with and without an SD card installed
USB Debug mode and install from Unknown Sources are enabled
I do not turn on USB storage
I have tried unrooting and re-rooting and doing everything over but issue still persists


Problem summarized
-With USB debug and install from unknown sources enabled, rooted phone via Super One Click
-After reboot installed and tested several apps that require Root; Titanium Backup, SU, Reboot and system Utilities
-Installed ClockworkMod (Free) from the Market
-When trying to run "Flash ClockworkMod Recovery" and select my phone it will download across the top and give the error "an error occurred while attempting to run privileged commands".
-Shortly after my phone will get stuck in a reboot loop, which i have to boot in recovery mode to get back in
-"Fix Permissions" does not help and goes back into reboot loop when done


What i want to do in the end is install Nandroid to backup my current Rom, then install some custom roms to see which best suits my taste. Any ideas how i can fix this issue i am having or any places that show how to fix it, i have checked for hours on end but can't find anything.

Thanks for the help in advance.

Did you make sure to clear the various chaches before flashing the new ROM?

Okay i found the problem.

Wind Mobile sells it as a LG Optimus 2X but it's a p999 meaning it's the T-Mobile LG Optimus G2x


Once i selected the G2X from the Clockwork Mod it worked. while the Optimus 2x was giving me the problems


This is big news as the phone was just released yesterday i can expect a lot of people in the next few days asking about Wind Mobile LG phones

Works with Mobilicity unlocked Version of same phone.

Thanks for the heads up Since both phones operate on AWS I'm sure there will be same issue with Mobilicity.

i have had the same problem
thanks for your guide.

Man... thank you! I thought I bricked my phone...

Dang, I should've read this first. Damn Wind for using Optimus 2X name

So I'm stuck on LG logo after installing ClockworkMod and selecting Optimus 2x. Did the hard reset with volume down key, but just stuck in "S/W Upgrade. Please wait while upgrading..." screen. Is it normal to be this long?

Can't access phone/recovery menu at all. I'm lost now. Should I attempt to restore the original wind ROM somehow?

Edit: Managed to run ClockworkMod Recovery by following this: http://forum.xda-developers.com/show....php?t=1056847

Will try again now using G2X :|

you should reflash the phone. it will stuck there forever if you did nothing with it. it's meant to be flashed with rom.

I had the same problem, just hold down the volume (down), power and home key. It'll factory reset ur phone..

Hey guys,

I bought a brand new Optimus 2X from Wind and I unlocked it to use with Mobilicity in Canada.

It was working great for the first day, but then when the battery died and I charged it, it just keep rebooting.

It turns on, but it won't load anything past the Wind mobile start up. It just keeps relooping.

Any suggestions?
