NVFlash ClockworkMod recovery and then flash what you want.

Thanks much, Rusty!
I have found a procedure at [GUIDE] [10/15/11] [CWM 5.0.2.6] NVFlashing CWM Recovery for Dummies - xda-developers ,
and followed everything to the letter.

BUT: When I try to execute "cd\ cd g2x\nvflash
nvflash.exe --bct E1108_Hynix_512MB_H8TBR00U0MLR-0DM_300MHz_final_emmc_x8.bct --bl fastboot.bin --download 5 recovery-clockwork-5.0.2.0-p999.img" from the command prompt, it returns an error message "The system cannot execute the specified program" (running Windows XP).
When I just execute nvflash.exe it scrolls though a multitude of files on my computer, none of them referring to "recovery-clockwork-5.0.2.0-p999.img" as near as I can see.

The directions say "You should see it send a bunch of files to the device and the phone screen should say "S/W Upgrade - Please wait while upgrading...".
However, nothing appears on the phone screen, and no apparent changes are made in the phone..

Am I using the correct procedure, or is there another one?

Thanks, Rusty!

Yep that's exactly what you need to be doing, good effort hunting out the guide.

No reason that it shouldn't work though.

Thanks for your interest in helping me undo a dumb thing I did, Rusty!

Actually, someone else gave me this link ( [ROOT] G2X Gingerbread 2.3.3. stock ROM with flashable zip in Clockworkmod Recovery - xda-developers ) and following those directions did the job.

Thanks again!
