Root permission never asked - LG Optimus 2x

Hi, I`m with my first Android and tried to root it using this tutorial (i'm with stock rom):
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1327599
Everything seemed to work fine, but it never asked me for root permission and each program that needs it, tells me that I have no root access.

u have a GB device?which one?V20L/M?

Yeah. Stock V20l. I've got all the right messages, done everything as it saids. But when no program gives me root access.

I forgot to say... I bought this from someone who said that had already rooted it, but I couldn't get root access so I tried this tutorial.

Do you have the ROM Manager installed? if yes...switch on wifi and select the clockworkmod choosing the LG Optimus2X and wait for it to be flashed.
Do you get that the apps dont have root access?

ROM manager says that I cannot select clockworkmod cause I haven't got root permission
I've tried the tutorial to get root access a dozen times. In all of them things seems ok, but when I open apps that need root access, they tell me I don't have it.

Personally i think that there is some problem....try rebooting both your computer and the O2X and then restart the rooting process....before that read the thread a bit carefully...might be you are missing something...the rooting process normally works good...

I tried this one and think it worked.

Thanks for the help

More problems...
Root Check Basic says it's rooted;
Busybox installer also says it's rooted. It installs but if I open it again it says Busybox isn't installed.
Titanium Backup says it isn't rooted. FasterFix also.

Is there anyway to go back to zero and do it all again?

Update superuser. Reboot then try again..
Download rom manager flash the recovery.

[Q] Problem with Root after Stock ICS RUU update

I'm having issues getting the Superuser app to grant root to root apps.
The superuser apk is installed but isn't functioning.
Here's what I did. I was coming from pirateghost's CWM root ROM which was built off the stock developer's ICS OTA update (see my signature). I decided to start over since the sync icon would not go away from the notification tab. I know this is a minor issue but it was very annoying staring at it every time I used the phone.
I did the following:
1) Installed Wildchild's recovery using fastboot
2) Wiped all the data from the phone using wildchild's recovery
3) Locked the bootloader
4) Installed the ATT Stock RUU
5) Unlocked the bootloader
6) Reinstalled wildchild's recovery using fastboot
7) Installed the Superuser apk using wildchild's recovery
Everything is working fine and I don't have the sync icon stuck in the notification tab, but now I can't get any root application to be granted root access. The system just times out when the app is requesting root.
I'm guessing that Wildchild's recovery root is not compatible with the stock ICS release, but is this true? I haven't used the vivid all in one kit because it appears to be using the same method to install root. Everytime you install root it blows away all the data on the phone and makes you start from fresh, so I'm reluctant to try anything unless I'm certain it will work.
Any suggestions from the experts?
Did you look at the last post in the superguide? WC made a post to make rooting easier. Also a video in there as well.

Yes, this is exactly what I did to the "T", just as in his video. SU is installed on my device but it doesn't grant any privileges to any root apps. I've been digging around searching for answers for about 3 hours and have found many people posting about the same issue but no fix.
3.07 is the latest version of su...redo it with unguarded version see if that works...the rom i used was unrooted and all stock

I saw that and was wondering what "engineering Unguarded superuser" was but didn't know. I guess it's worth a try at this point.
FYI, I used the "Install eng (unguarded) su" and all it did was uninstall the Superuser apk.
Now the root apps respond with a different message when they request root. They don't see the SU app and reply with this statement, before they would hang while they requested SU access.
I'll wait until WC figures out what is going on or just download his ROM.
Are there any known bugs with his ROM?
[email protected] rooting....if going through trouble of unlocking bootloader and flashing a recovery....why not just flash a stock custom rom?....This make no [email protected] do this....Im the first to like completely stock builds,as thats what i use personally...but i cannot stand the at&t bloatware....Main problem with trying to root a stock build is the root access to kernel config....ill upload a stock rooted kernel, if having issues with root after using the recovery you need to install busybox from provided link below.
or flash the boot.img provided.
From original [email protected] guide
- ONCE BOOTED, if you have titanium backup installed but it says there isn't root or busybox isn't installed, download a free app from the market called BUSYBOX INSTALLER. Run this program and proceed in installing busybox. After that, try titanium backup again and it should work.
https://play.google.com/store/apps/...DMsImNvbS5qcnVtbXkuYnVzeWJveC5pbnN0YWxsZXIiXQ..
I had pirateghost's rooted ICS ROM installed but had the sync notification issue. That's why I decided to go back to the stock RUU. I've always been a stock kind of person. I don't know why, but I've always gone back to stock with my phones then rooted it and debloated it myself.
I'm downloading your ROM right now! Since I already have your recovery installed I'm sure this will be a breeze. Thanks!

I tied installing busybox installer but it says no root access.
Is the stock rooted kernel being referred to boot.zip?
What's the safest way to flash this?
The fastboot flash boot boot.img command is the safest.

I would say if you want root, the best thing to do is install one of Wild Child's roms. Once you install it, you will have root. He has an att build just like the att ruu but without the bloat.
http://www.wcxxperia-nce.com/index.php
This is his site. You have to register to see the vivid forum. Also, make sure to read the rules before installing his rom.
Exact process i did and it is rooted with titanium back up working...so flashing from wcxrecovery does work.
Testing procedure:
1 Flashed fastboot oem relock...success
2 Flashed PH39IMG.zip
3 Said Update was complete
4 Phone rebooted
5 My custom ROM was still present
6 Flashed PH39IMG.zip again
7 My custom ROM was still present
8 Attempted running RUU,Failed
9 Entered fastboot via Hboot menu
10 Re ran ruu,ROM updated completely.
11 Ran bootloader unlock command
12 Flashed wcx recovery (provided)
13 Flashed rooted kernel (provided)
14 Booted ROM,fully loaded
15 Rebooted into recovery
16 Installed superuser and su
17 Signed into Market
18 installed stericson Busybox
19 Installed titanium Backup
20 Succesfully rooted with stock att rom
21 Reboot phone after doing said process above Perm root achieved
Thanks WC. I must have been doing the same while you were posting this!
All went according to plan. I now have a rooted phone with unbloated ICS kernel, WCX recovery etc. etc.
Thanks WC, This is great

[Q] Help on Super SU (please)

Hi.
I am a stock JB user with philz. I recently formated my phone and installed fresh copy via PC Odin. Clean install.
Just want to ask. If i install super SU directly Like any other app, Will it give me root.
Or is it important to install any other kernel. I am not thinking of wipeing and all sort of things.
I just want root nothing else on my stock JB (India)

root access will be removed after install.. since it is located at the system apps..
you can reflash root via CWM.. to avail root access again..

How does installing an apk file remove root access ? Type of apk is irrelevant ! Your statement is absolutely nonsensical.
If you had meant installing stock ROM via Odin, then you're correct; but that isn't what you said in your post.
@OP
No, simply installing the superSU apk will not grant root access.
Do this:
1.)Go to this thread
2.)Follow option 1B
Just flash Philz Kernel!

How did you root it? if you used some "universal" rooter then the outcome is pretty expected. Our device structure is a "bit" different, so you should follow this guide http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1928509 (Make sure you have read and understood everything, including unlocked bootloader)
On the other hand, if you did followed that guide and completed all the steps, it may be the case that your phone is rooted, but just it doesn't show itslef up. Just install any program that require root permissions (Titanium Backup, for instance) and launch it. If Superuser screen pops up asking for permission - you are done. If not - the link is above

If you use Omars Rom you don't have to root. Just use cwm to install the Rom.

Flashing ROMs thought Odin is inconvenient, I'd prefer to just root the phone for ease of use.
I think I found the source of the problem:
When I was using vRoot, it said that I didn't have 'root permission' and gave me a how-to in order to solve that problem. However it was in Chinese so I couldn't figure it out. Is it possible that I just need to find a way to get root permission for my phone? How do I get permission?

The English version is a little broken, not all of it is in English. I'm talking about the app they have for the phone. I downloaded it and it said it couldn't root my phone (at least that's what I think it said it was all Chinese) and it gave me a list of instructions I couldn't understand. I already tried the English vRoot and it didn't work.
IMHO best way how to root your phone is by flashing custom recovery (TWRP or CWM) via Odin and then by flashing root binaries from recovery.

I've updated my previous post. Download some custom recovery and flash it as pda, then reboot into it by pressing vol. up + home + power and finally flash zip with root from recovery.
and after you have custom recovery it's also super easy to flash .zip files with recovery only (not odin) so then you can flash custom roms .zip's

Try using Unified Android Toolkit and simply following the on screen instructions.
I am having the same issue with my wife's phone. Rooted once with Kingo but she accidentally accepted an OTA update and we lost root. Now Kingo just says "Root failed."
Verizon has locked the bootloader on these phones so that it is, AFAIK, not possible at all to flash a custom recovery. I have plenty of experience with CWM and TWRP from my own two previous sammys (Epic 4G and Galaxy S4, both on Sprint). If someone here (with a VZW model) has experience otherwise, I'd love to hear about it and how you got around the lock.
Downloading Unified Android Toolkit now and we'll see how it goes, but it is not looking good.

Trying now, but it doesn't look good. It's been stuck on "Testing adb usability" for ten minutes or so.
So I am now noticing that any time I plug this phone in, during the "Found new hardware" for the ADB interface it is telling me that my new hardware "might not work." This does not happen when I plug in my S4. I'm wondering if VZW has done something to block ADB access...
I've backed the phone up with Kies and now I am thinking about a factory reset before trying again. I just don't want to make things any worse, knowing I can't simply Odin the stock image on this phone.
Any other recommendations?

Update: on retry, I got past this spot, but ultimately the root failed and it told me the model was not supported.
Kingo gets further than anything else I've tried, but eventually fails with the error "NeedRoot." Ironically.
I'm going to try a factory reset. I am wondering if the fact that SuperSu is still in ROM is what's tripping Kingo up. I can force stop it and "turn it off" but, of course, without root I can't actually remove it from the ROM.

That sounds plausible, factory reset might help avoid the issue, but if SuperSu is installed as system app (normally the case), it might in some cases still be there after a factory reset.
I'm having the same issues. I have tried with three different cables, using three different programs. Do you think it's because I don't have three original cable I only have moto ones? I can reset using kries so it's not like the computer doesn't see it

[Q] Sprint LG G Flex 4.4.2 wont root please help

So I have looked around everywhere for an answer to this question. I have a Sprint lg g flex using 4.4.2 with a build number ending in zv9(when I look it up on google it doesn't even show any results) and it will not root with any of the methods that i know.
Towelroot says device isnt supported. i tried even using the temporary modstrings number and that just freezes the app. I have also tried ioroot and it also says the device is not supported I dont know what to do. i wish i could downgrade back to my previous build number which is zv7 so that i can go back to using a rooted phone but I don't know how to do this either. Please help thank you. This is driving me crazy
Check IORoot or Stump root threads.
Do ask before in threads..
So I have asked in other threads and waited for a reply but no one has answered my question, I just want a rooted phone again

ZV9 from Sprint? The last 4.4.2 from Sprint is ZV7. I never got those updates u mentioned.
If u want to root it again, go back to stock: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2644083
Accept 2 updates N u will be in 4.4.2 (ZV7). From that, u can root ur phone with towelroot or Ioroot, but it's easier with towelroot.
Good luck

How does the Brute force method begin after I install the app?
As soon as I install Stump Root it tells me I'm rooted...and it is not.
I know I shouldn't have upgraded to ZV9!
Any help would be appreciated.
Thank you.
