[ROOT] Super One Click - works with every ROM version (2.2.1 & above also supported)
Hi everyone,
Here is a really brief tutorial, how you can get any Optimus 2x rooted via your computer and the SuperOneClick program:
PLEASE, READ THE WHOLE #1 POST, BECAUSE IT HAS SEVERAL GUIDES, SO YOU SHOULD TRY EVERYTHING BEFORE ASKING! DON'T SPAM THE THREAD IF POSSIBLE!
UPDATE: April 15th, 2014 - none of the links are valid anymore, and I don't have the files neither the Optimus 2x anymore, so sorry everyone, but it is pointless to keep poking this thread.
1. Install the USB driver needed to have ADB access to the phone, you can download it from here:
UPDATED: April 4th, 2011
LGUnitedMobileDriver_S4981MAN32AP22_ML_WHQL_Ver_3.2.exe
http://www.megaupload.com/?d=M8OF7XGT
or if the link above doesn't work:
http://www.multiupload.com/ZII8RRUXHR
2. Connect your phone, enable USB debugging (Settings->Applications->Development)
3. Run SuperOneClick
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=803682
4. Choose root!
5. Run the test in the end...and you will have it, you got root access on your 2.2.1 LG Optimus 2X device!
+1 I recommend you first uninstalling the Car Home app and F-Secure (if you are not using it) because it is highly responsible for freezes and instabilites (AFAIK).
If the tutorial above fails, here is djmcnz's method:
Use the psneuter option, I had the same problem with rage, psneuter worked instantly.
Optimus 2x, Unbranded, Android 2.2.2 (out of the box, no OTA)
All I did was:
Install LG driver (first post)
Open SuperOneClick 1.7
Select psneuter
Hit root
Check Superuser app
No reboots or shell root required.
Su is permanent, withstands a reboot.
IF YOU GET DRIVER NOT SIGNED OR OTHER ISSUES AT STEP 1, here is something that could help you:
http://www.junefabrics.com/android/driver.php
One more guide, this may help you too (credit goes to Maliacrete):
For all those who get stuck at "waiting for device" with the SuperOneClick try running it as an Administrator (right click, Run as Administrator) or follow these:
a) make sure your phone is "seen" from your pc under hardware (http://www.junefabrics.com/android/driver.php). Follow the instructions here. If needed install your drivers from the link on the bottom of the junefabrics page.
b) Download the PdaNet from here (http://junefabrics.com/android/download.php), when prompt to replace the drivers, press NO.
c) if at this point the PdaNet istallation tells you that it cannot detect any phone you need to go back to the drivers problem. No correct drivers (debugging), No root.
d) Run the SuperOneClick and it will surely do the job.
You can also get some more infos on here (http://theunlockr.com/2010/10/11/how-to-root-your-android-phone-superoneclick-method/)
I wander will this work with version 2.2.2 and can the root be undone?
will this work on the new LS670ZVC update from OTA?
svengalis:
I suppose yes, the root could be undone easily.
NextelFoe:
You should try
With 2.2.2 it does't work
Any ideas?
Update:
I followed this post and now i have permroot

This is true, 2.2.2 is the latest software for the 2X.
Worked like a charm with 2.2.2! Was even easier than the Galaxy 4G!
Well I can not get it on mine from anywhere, so I am stuck with 2.2.1

Can't get this to work on 2.2.2..
The SuperOneClick 1.7 crashes on "Waiting for device"..
Anyone else getting this?
Yea, same problem. But then i followed step 2 as described
Sent from my LG-P990 using XDA App
Done!
Finally, the root is available for firmware 2.2.1 and 2.2.2 for Optimus One
This program will help get us these rights.
What to do this?:
1. Downloading Gingerbreak (Disable the antivirus just in case)
2. Dump the our program and set
3. At LG Optimus include debug USB. To do this, go to Options -> Applications -> Development -> Debugging USB. Put a tick.
4. Make sure that the flash drive was inserted and worked
5. Run Gingerbreak
6. Choosing a Root Device
7. Wait a few minutes. If there are no problems, then the device will reboot (note that rebooting can take a long time, so we are waiting)
8. Rejoice!
ALL MANIPULTSII WITH YOUR PHONE YOU DO AT YOUR OWN RISK

tried it on my phone.
It got to the part where it said "rebooting into CWM" then the program said "no device connected" and now the phone is stuck at the LG screen.
I did a few battery pulls and it still just hangs at the LG screen. even went into the factory recovery and told it to wipe all data. still gets stuck at LG screen
my phone has the VZ9 firmware.

Ok fine no feedback how bout i up one and release source code how bout that lol

any questions feel free to post or pm me thanks
when unrooting will this remove *ALL* files from /system/xbin? Or what all exactly does the unroot process remove besides superuser.apk and busybox?
I guess what I am wondering if once unrooted will it look completely stock? Or will a trained eye be able to spot that it was once rooted?

You can use "Unlock Root" software. On phone, set "connect as" = "LG software". When you root, your PC is connected internet. :good:

You'll have to check what frequencies you preferred carrier in India operates on.

SU660 internal mounting not working
OK. Sooo i'm stupid... evidently. I got this SU660 on ebay, didn't know it was Korean. So in attempt to kinda update it from 2.2.2, and get rid of the Korean software that doesn't translate into english at all, I inadvertently screwed something up with nvflash cleaner 0.1. 0.2 and 0.3 wouldn't see the port for the phone. Now, for some reason, I can't get the phone to mount the internal memory (/emme? /system) So now it just loads up to CWM but I can't do anything to try to get the OS back on there!
I'm going crazy here. I have no idea what I missed in the process that screwed me. PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE! Any ideas? I have the source download from LG's site for Gingerbread which i'd prefer over Froyo and downloaded ICS just in case I wanted to get adventurous...I've had enough adventure. i just want this working. I've gotta have it up and running by Saturday Otherwise, I'll have to go buy another Droid to get me by until i can get this one working. I'd even pay someone to get the stinking thing working LOL. I've never had a problem with roms on samsungs and motorolas. Evidently LG is a bit different
*Update*
OK I found one download with nvflash that was listed for an SU660 but ended up being for the P990 LOL. outside the touchscreen not working, It booted up to the OS so thats a start. so with that... just have to find the Froyo OS or Gingerbread I can get working on here
How to root lg su660 ICS 4.0.4
i used "super one click " and "Unlock Root" but ....
help me thankssssss
Unlock Root works, see if you have all the drivers installed and the usb debugging mode is on. Try another computer, I have rooted mine by it within 10 seconds only
You can also use "adb root" method with the Su660 ICS
It means that you don't have to use any rooting tool to get root permission for su660 ICS
Code:
adb root
adb push su /system/bin
adb shell chmod 6755 /system/bin/su

Just follow this thread to update to the official ICS (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1889328), though Korean apps still remain. But you can actually freeze them so they would not appear on your phone drawer (Either try Link2SD or Titanium Backup Pro for freezing).

How could you lose applications? It is just a rooting software. Be sure you are on ICS too since it is for ICS/JB devices.
Recovery Mode
HI I got this phone, and recently i updated to I C S 4.0.4 , and already rooted,
now i need recovery mode for backup the current rom, and i need to install custom rom.
any idea?
Hi everyone!
First of all, sorry if this as been asked, tonight my Google skills didn't help me find an answer.
A friend of mine owns a LG Optimus 2X (P990) bought from Fido in Canada. Currently she's on Gingerbread and would like to update to ICS (which is the latest stock rom available from what I read)
She wouldn't get the software update OTA so she tried downloading the LG Updater software from LG directly. The software detects the phone and says an update is available.
At some point, a popup appear suggesting to make a backup. So far, everything is fine. Once the backup is done and she click the "Start upgrade" button, she gets this error message : "An Unsupported operation has been attempted"
Anyone ever seen this before? Is there a way to upgrade her phone without using the LG software?
Since it's not my own phone, I would prefer not rooting it.
If rooting is really the only solution? What would be a good guide to read to do the update? (I did read a few sticky posts... 1 is the all in one tool kit... it explains each feature, but is not really a guide and I still have some questions unanswered after reading it. The other guide I read, the download links are broken)
Thank you

Alright, that didn't help at all.
First of all, I wanted to flash a stock ROM... the guide tells us to install CWM and we got stuck at the part where we have to flash the ROM because it would seem CWM won't take the KDZ (or bin/fls) files.
Now we can go to the SW Upgrade mode without the battery, but the smartflash utility time out after 3 minutes and end on an error.
We can also go to CWM with the battery... but with no apparent way to flash a stock rom.
We're stuck at the moment.
Edit : So in the end we flashed only the BIN file instead of both BIN and FLS. No more errors and the phone rebooted correctly under ICS! Yay!

It's fixed! We didn't flash the FLS file (which would be the baseband?) but the phone still booted properly and connected properly to the cell phone provider.
