[ROOT] Super One Click - works with every ROM version (2.2.1 & above also supported)

[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

[ROOT] for 2.2.1/2.2.2 GingerBreak APK

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

If your going to just stock v20p just use LG update or you can do it this way but if your going v20p thenuse megatron to root I know that works ... but follow this step by step ... and you'll have to do the flash tool before you flash recovery ... very important tho that you follow it step by step

[Q] Rooting my optimus Black.

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

Error message when trying to update with LG Updater

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

Use option #4 to repartition the device for ICS and then option #7 to flash the ICS stock rom?

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.
