Easier way to roow and install CWM for LG 2X

Hi guys
I recently brought a 2nd hand LG 2X.
This rom is totally stock, to be precise, it is a Hong Kong version v10d
Since I want to improve the battery life and have a more defined rom.
I would like to root and install CWM for my LG 2X.
Up to now, I have downloaded a few kdz from the subforum.
I have little experience before with LG phone, Last one i played around was LG P500. I remember last time i could easily root the phone by super1click, and then install rom manager from play store.
And from there (play store) i install CWM recovery.
I would like to find the confirmation from you guys that
Can i go for the same path again, super1click>rom manager>CWM recovery??
Thx in advance!!

Yes, that's the correct sequence. And I'd recommend Rusty's excellent page here to get the latest CWM.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1098745
But before you start, please make sure you have the right model of O2X. Make sure you have p990 and NOT p999 nor su660 to use the cwm linked above.

I got a semi-brick that way, solved it nvflashing CWM, my luck perhaps

thx both of you guys!
japmsn: can you be a bit more specific, how you bricked your phone last time?
So i can learn from your experience
Thx

Yes the good thing is - if you don't brick the hardware this phone is unbrickable because you can always revert everything back with NVFlash. Nothing to worry about.

IF your phone is recignized by the Computer. No installation or drivers made my LG 2x available for NVflash. Smartflash worked fine for me.

I rooted and then installed rom manager, from it I installed CWM and then chose reboot to recovery and got stuck at LG logo. Then in order to revive it I used smartflash but couldn't connect so in the end used a thread here at xda called "last chance to recover" or something like that which was basically a .bat file I had to double click in order for it to flash CWM using nvflash.
It's not to scare you, quite the opposite, if something goes wrong it seems there's always hope like people have already suggested here.
greets

First: root with "unlockroot".
Second: flash a recovery console via PC.

Are you on stock kernel? If so then flash some safe kernel and try full wipe, if that too doesn't help, then flash stock firmware using pc odin.
I am assuming you are on ICS, as you didn't provide any info. You should have mentioned the method used for root and everything.

Now i cant even get to download mode to use odin to flash GB rom. I tried flashing abyss kernel using srock ICS recovery and that's the main reason for current situation i think. Any help?

Take it to a samsung service center and ask them to reset the phone. Tell them its too slow after the latest update using kies. If there is a problem with the motherboard they will report back and replace under warranty.
Else they will install the OS completely new and you can start from scratch to root and install other custom roms.

Try using USB jig to go to download mode, try it first. Jig is not expensive.

No it's not bricked. Yes you lose your warranty, but you can unroot your Note. Don't warry Note is so good phone, that you don't need warranty

Then if it's not bricked why i need to remove the battery for 1 hour and wait an other 2 hours to finally open my phone after a simple turn off? Thats why i want the warranty so i can take the phone to samsung and fix this issue. And im afraid to unroot it cause when ever i try to put my phone on recovery mode its stucks and take for ever to open againm\

If you're installing a custom recovery then you have unlocked your bootloader which means your warranty is already void (If LG decide that you have done something to cause the problem).

Im not aware of anyone bricking this (non-DEV version) phone, LG's download mode is pretty low level, the kdz packages also contain a boot loader so you would find it difficult to irreversibly brick this phone

Thanks Lads i got it working

It would be nice of you to tell how did you do it, so that if anyone else has the same problem can solve it with a quick search instead of starting another thread

Help! I think i bricked my Verizon G2

Hello guys!
I wanted to upgrade to Malladus Kitkat 4.4.2. I was on 12b with CWM...So i updated my recovery to TWRP from here ... I followed the steps and still it wouldnt let me install the ROM. Kept saying update failed. So I tried going back to CWM, that update too failed...So I was stuck with TWRP..So i installed 12b and after a while the phone finished everything and rebooted..But it went into a bootloop..I tried going into recovery using power and vol down option...when I got the option to hard reset..i pressed power thrice...usually it would go to the recovery but now the hard reset was done in less than a second and the phone shut down...did this a few times with the same result. My PC (win 8) does not recognize my device since its not yet on..Also it keeps asking me if I want to format my drive. The drivers have been installed etc. I dont know what to do...How do i revive it? Any help will be massively appreciated guys

Can you get into Download mode?

Look up LG Flash Tool for i was able to unbrick and restore my phone.
Note you will loose everything after this but if you items where backed up you can restore them.
Good Luck!

Of course I tried some of the options mentioned in that forum but my PC simply fails to recognize the phone.. so even in the Download mode, I am unable to do anything. Let me try the method which requires me to use Ubuntu. May be it will work.
