[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?

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

Tried to root my phone today with Superoneclick and gingerbreak but both did not work :-(.
The gingerbreak which i downloaded from the link posted on this thread gave a virus error with one Antivirus Pro software on my mobile and Superone click ver.2.1.1 gets stuck at stage 4 of the upgrade. It makes the connection to the phone etc. but for some reason does not like my phone nd gets stuck at stage 4.
I have LG-P970-V10a.
Please help. Thanks
They're already some threads about rooting LG Optimus Black...
Use UPK by Ilko here and you can try my method (Method of root by Sobralobo) or any other that where shared.
I'm also V10a. I rooted my phone 2 days ago. Try to use this method fast and easy http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1154882&highlight=root+via+application&refid=12 try to uninstall your antivirus first i think it detect the gingerbreak as a virus even though it is not a virus.

Thanks. I will try it soon and update you. Thanks
install gingerbreak... sometimes this doesn't work if the size of file you get/downloaded is less than 295kb. also, try to google "how to root LG Optimus Black P970 addictivetips" for detailed instructions if the instructions here on xda seem to be too technical. that's what i did before... i'm a noob. lol!
Thanks all. Finally after your inputs I manage to root my phone. I had to uninstall my anti-virus and it worked.
Another question. I am rooted what next? what are the benefits? I tried to download some themes .zip files and also installed Widget Locker but am not able to find on how to install those lockscreen themes directly :-(.
Please help me enjoy my phone and give some tips on what to do next after rooting
.
Thanks and look forward to more replies like earlier.
Thanks
Download LauncherPro or Go launcher ex to apply those themes and widget. Watch this tutorial http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=abDzsu35aWk
Gingerbread is coming! So i think it is better to wait rather than flashing different ROM (One benefits of rooting phone).
hi all..
i ve rooted my OB with 2.2 froyo V10a using Gingerbreak 1.20. everything went ok.. easy and fast.. but now i want to unroot for warranty issues.. i ve read that runnung again Gingerbreak and taping 'unroot' will do the job.. did anyone try or know that it works in practice or if not..., any other suggestion about unrooting?

Hi there, I rooted my OB too using the gingerbreak and just for "knowledge" I unrooted it with the same gingerbreak and it works, it's safe at least for me

if you download from browser, normally you can "open" it with widget locker to "install" it.
Otherwise, just copy the zip in "sdcard\data\com.teslacoilsw.widgetlocker\themes"

Hello, i (think) i want to root my Lg Optimus Black,
but before making all kinds of decisions i have a few questions;
Will rooting my phone remove the warranty? because i can not afford it to drop my phone, and have to pay the full 200 euro's for it..
if it does remove my warranty, can i switch back, and remove everything so LG will still repair my phone?
I once upgraded my 2.2 froyo to 2.3 gingerbread with the LG site,
is it posible to upgrade my phone to the 'normal' android version? because i hate
the LG Interface.. and if i can, will this also remove my warranty?
If i am going to root, i will be using several forum posts found on XDA.
if i follow these steps: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=23790405&postcount=171
and then these: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1473592
will i have a stable LG optimus black, with another interface.
If rooting, or installing the default Android 2.3 is not safe to use, is there any way to Remove the horrible LG interface (The lockscreen, dialscreen, statusbar, Music app, etc. ?
if you modify the software you will loose your waranty. And you can ALWAYS go back to stock in one way or another.

1.- You can always unroot to SmartFlash and get back your warranty..
2.- if you have much problems with rooting, back to 2.2 and root, then install the Roms that you prefer!!, is more easy than injecting Recovery!!

Hello, i want to root my Optimus black.
in the system specs, it says V20o.
So i went to click on the V20o link, there i got a few steps.
at the first step you need to download a file, not only it says v20b in there, it is also from a v20B thread. so is this the right file? and the download link doesnt work...
For 20o follow this link:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=23788913&postcount=170
Download of 20o root is possible if you remove the html in the browser.
I did al the steps, but exedently clicked Clockwork mod away, so now i havent done steps 14,15 and 16! Can someone please tell me what to do! how can i get my recoberyscreen back?
Simply start with step 5 again and follow the instruction!
Done that a few times myself.

Hello! I need some help, I've been searching for a couple days about how to root my lg optimus black p970 V20a. I found your noob threat and I see the link for V20a but when I click there it sends me to a link with Root (Superuser) on firmware V20B (CIS). Does this means V20b can be use for V20a's? or is it a typo and if it easy can you please where to find the V20a.
Much appreciate!! Thanks!!
You can root it on your own (check the 3rd post of my noob how to) or ask someone, to provide it to you... I dont have time, but the how to should be self explaining You only need the LgExtract tool (posted at the end of the thread) Smartflash + Windows enabler and Superuser.zip And your pretty much done Or keep on searching for Root v20a Optimus Black

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
^try that by wkpark

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.
