Hello, i have an Lg otimus 2x that has gingerbread (2.3.4) and i want to root it because its getting slow and the memory often go below 60mb. I want to root so i can use MinFreeManager and uninstall all those useless LG preinstalled apps.
So, can i root witth superoneclick? And if the rooting fails somehow, will i be able to fix it?
Thanks,
There are two ways of doing this.
First - go here (also available in upper right corner on xda page) and copy/paste this expression (without ") in the box "how to root lg optimus 2x gingerbread" and hit enter and then click first link.
Second - go here and c/p same expression like in first method. Click third link (first two are videos).
You will see that in both ways you will get this.
Then start reading.
Hope that this helps.

Firstly i strongly recommend you to use the search button before opening a new thread, this is not the first post neither the last one that I'll see asking the same thing and then being closed.
Basic knowledge here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1487105
And the advanced user method ^_^ injecting the CWM with the superuser.apk into the ROM :

Hi! How i can root my LG-V20a. I have official firmware for Baltics. Thanks for any solutions.
Sent from my LG-P970 using XDA
First of all, since you're new to this board please read the Welcome To The LG Optimus Black Section..... (Please Read If You're New)
Also, read the [HOW TO]The Big N00B how-to! since it will answer most of your questions.
Second, if you would have searched you would have found your answer already, but i'll help you (i'm in a good mood today ).
So, for general Rooting look at [Q] How to root P970 Gingerbread V20N it's vor the V20N version but it mostly applies to any version.
Regarding the question (that will follow soon) how to flash the firmware, look at THIS
P.S. if i manage to find a patched V20A i'll post here, for now i only found V20B, V20N , V20E and V20O that are patched and rooted.
I try all root app, and no one work with me, always access denied.
OB 2.3.4 V20a
Please help

Why to stick this thread? It only should be closed or deleted. IMO.

After installing Rooted ROM...
Try the Zeus 6.39 ROM...U will be surprised with the features..
Till now, it's the ultimate and the best ROM of Gingerbread
If you would like ICS (camera not working), try Free Optimus Project ROM

I Dont like the interface of many out of box android roms i just love my optimus ui.. and i have never used a motorola ui (cant remember what its called?!!!)
So is there a rom like motorola for optimus or touch wiz w/ ics?? Would Really love it!!! Other than that what are the substitutes,,
i used cyanogen's gb rom (cm 7 maybe)
I was left with a blunt rom with nothing really hated it..
So if a add a lg home launcher apk into the zeus rom and delete the zeus one will it work... as i said optimus ui has some great feature like catagories and looks

Hi there, I'm aware this forum isn't for support so would like to know where would be the appropriate forum to direct my post!
Basically, I bricked my LG Optimus 4X HD (p880) phone after following the instructions to root my phone from http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1818502
Here's what I did:
Followed the instructions in the XDA LG Optimus 4X thread (from the link above) to root my phone
Installed Clockwork Recovery Mod
Tried to restart phone in recovery mode
Phone can't start anymore, and shows the following error message:
[LGE_SECURITY] ERROR: boot image signature
Critical failure: Unable to start kernel
Unrecoverable bottloader error (0x00000002)
Grateful for any assistance. Thanks!
Hi
Thanks for writing to us at XDA Assist. The best place for your question would be the dedicated LG Optimus 4X HD q&a section, which is here:
Optimus 4X HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting
That sub-forum can be found within the Optimus 4X HD device forum here:
LG Optimus 4X HD
I'd suggest you bookmark that page and subscribe to that forum, that way you can find it easily again in future. There's no need to create a new post in the q&a secrion now, we'll simply have this thread moved there for you, so standby, it won't take long.
Good luck!

Thanks! The link to the 3 apps is dead though. Any idea what are the 3 apps so I can download the 3 apps elsewhere? I've managed to download the KDZ file.
Hi, anyone can advise what are the files to download? The original link is dead and I'm unable to find out what software is required to resolve the issue.
