[Q] ADB not working/Trying to root - LG Optimus 2x

I have been trying to root my LG Optimus 2x for maybe 10 hours now. Nothing works.
I bought it already used, with stock rom Froyo 2.2.2
I am running winxp sp3 and ofcorse i have already installed LG drivers and have "debug usb mode" (adb) checked.
List of thinks i have tried without success:
SuperOneClick - No ADB connection
NVFLASH - no connection
Smartflash - no connection
ADB over wifi - apparently i need root for this, so no success
^After theese tries, i came to the conclusion that my usb connection is not working for some reason (i cant even get mass storage working, well, never buying used phones again)
z4Root - App freezes and can not be started again without reboot.
Root via Terminal Emulator (Rage against the cage) - I cant seem to run/copy this .bin anywhere, "Operation not permitted"
I even tried gingerbreak.
I am not a linux noob, nor an Android noob. I have successfully rooted multiple devices, Desire (pvt-4 alpharev s-off) and some tier 1 android phones.
Anyone have any clue what is going on here?

U can try Unlock Root. It worked perfectly on my o2x!
Very easy to root, basicly with one click, very fast.

[Q] Droid X 2.2 to 2.1 unrooted. -cant connect to computer.

Cant connect to RSDlite with my droid x
Here is the story.
I could really use some help here. I had originally rooted my droid x and then tried moving the bin to xbin to keep root. But being that i am really new to this i did not know you couldn't update to 2.2 if you had anything custom installed. so i SBF flashed my phone to stock.. left root off, then updated. Being dumb i tried using the root program for 2.1 on my 2.2. says its rooted fine.. it didn't.. no big deal i hope. i don't know if this has any affect as to why this issue is happening but i figured its worth mentioning. Anyways... so now i want to downgrade from 2.2 to 2.1 so i can root and move the bin file properly but i cant. Every time i try to connect to my computer in PC mode, it fails to load/install the driver for my X. my computer recognizes that its the MB810 but fails... so i cannot connect properly to RSDlite in order to perform the flash.. i have tried connecting in all modes media sync... charge only.. PC mode.. etc.. and yes USB debugging is enabled.. i have been trying to figure this out for a couple days now and I'm going crazy. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
BTW i am using windows 7 64bit
UPDATE:
I now have the drivers installed and the phone connects properly to my computer, not sure if i am connecting properly to RSDlite but it still will not allow me to flash the sbf. the sbf i am using is the phoxus -the gift- for the life of me i cannot figure out why it will not let me flash. i open RSD..select my sbf.. connect my phone.. and the start button will not light up.

I would delete the drivers and install the Motorola driver that you can get at Motorola. I have 2.2 which is running great but I still had to reinstall the drivers see that my PC could See my DX.
Before you can do anything your PC has to See your DX with no issues.
Hope this helps
I'm on 7/32

Switch the mode of the device when pluggied in and the drviers should load fine. That said change it from PC mode to Windows Sync Mode and you should be good to go.
Follow this to get your computer to recognize your DX running Froyo, you need new drivers.
1. USB Mass Storage without Development Mode on.
2. MotoConnect will prompt; Install.
3. PC Mode with Development Mode on.
4. ADB activate again on leaked Froyo.
Thanks for all the quick replies. I really appreciate it. I will try all of this when I get home. Thanks again. I'll keep you posted.

I could do everything except "mass storage" on win 7 x64. I finally had to reinstall windows to get it working again. Hope you have better luck.

no sorry, i just did the downgrade and had no problems.
well as it turns out.. somehow i got it working, but i dont know how.. but i did. so yea. i guess installing a new copy of windows seemed to do the trick. I hope this thead can help others also. GOOD LUCK and thank you all for helping me out.
You can also go to ubuntu and get a copy of linux for free, burn it to disc, then boot into linux from the disc. No install needed. Once in, use SFB_Flash (google it) to flash the SFB file...P3Droid and Birdman both recommed this vs the RSDlite.

Can't connect to PC via USB

Help!
My optimus 2x is not detected when I plug it to my laptop via USB.
Turn on mass storage" in the phone does not appear, it's like I'm just plugging in into a wall charger.
It could connect just a few days before, same laptop, same drivers (LG mobile united drivers)
Have tried it with 3 different laptops, still can't connect (drivers are installed)
A google search reveals other people having the problem as well and unable to solve it.
Can't return it yet for warranty because superuser app is still there.
Originally, I rooted it using superoneclick. Can't unroot it in superoneclick since not detected in USB.
So i unrooted it using z4root (without a pc). It's now unrooted, however superuser app is still in the app drawer.
Any advice?
Hi, I have the same problem and I posted question here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1274379
Maybe some answers can help You but in my case nothing helped until one day it suddenly started to work again.
Well it was working both on my home and business laptop until few days ago when it stopped. I can+t make it to work again, and I've tried last advice there to remove battery for about 20 min.
I think problem is in the phone, because one day when it started ti work again on my business laptop it was also working on my home laptop without any action taken.
Please help!
P.S. I can hope that when GB will be available through OTA (I can't count on update tools because my phone is not detected), it will solve the problem
Thanks. Will try those suggestions. Not sure if i can update to gingerbread OTA. Theres no OTA update in my menu.
Hi,
I have the same problem as well. Nothing shows up in Device Manager, no notification when I plug in the phone. Just charging.
It was working just fine right out of the box, even before I installed any LG drivers, but it's suddenly just stopped being detected by the computer. Mass storage only or usb debugging makes no difference.
The problem is not with any of my USB ports, as other devices work just fine when plugged in (my iPod pops right up in Device Manager). I've reset the phone to factory stats, tried with other computers, downloaded the most recent drivers as well as the LG Mobile Support Tool.
I've googled extensively, only to find that a lot of other people have the same problem, but no working solutions.
I appreciate any and all suggestions.
Same issue.
Even on cwm and i can't make software update (power + vol- = reboot loop).
So i use adb tcpip...
I think i should try a stock/modaco before send it to after sales service
Thanks michoux.
Can you point me to instructions on flashing via adb tcpip?
edit:
Just did some googling. it seems device needs to be rooted for adb via tcp ip to work right?
Unless there's a way to root without pc then I can't do anything. (z4root doesn't work).
Damn, first mistake i did was to unroot.
do you already have installed the driver?? if already install remove it first and then reinstall the driver
check out this link maybe can help

[Q] Can't root optimus 2x *PLEASE HELP*

Hello,
probably this question was asked a lot but I can't find anything that can help me.
I've latest ICS software on my LG Optimus 2X (4.0.4) and I would like to root my phone. I've checked USB debugging mod and unknown sources, tried every method I've found and still can't root my phone. Also I've installed drivers for my phone and tried on other pc, same think. I've tried method without PC, Z4root. It starts to root and in one moment app crashes and I must restart my phone to open it again. Super one click stuck on step 5 or 7. I read threads about that problem and I couldn't find any usefull. Please help. What's wrong? I really need to root my phone because it starts to be slow and I'm already sick of running background apps.
Thank you for help
I've finally made it. I've download all in one tool kit and in main windows pressed ''I'' button and installed NVFlash and it worked finally

OrionLP - D405n, can't get ADB working

Hi,
Well, I'm actually using OrionLP (1.7) ROM (since I cant find any Q&A topic for it) and im not able to use adb at all.
Is there anyone with the same issue?
Once I connect the phone to my laptop instantly I get a BSOD pointing to lgandnetmodem64.sys
To get it usable (at least) I need to uninstall LG Drivers which obviously drives me to NO ADB... going to windows device manager can see LGE Android Phone not installed. but that way I'm able to connect the phone to the laptop and transfer files/docs.
Strange thing is... it was working properly with LG Stock KK/LP
Tried LG drivers, both from XDA and LG website, uninstall/install with no joy.
Any hint ? Wondering how can this be a ROM issue?
Thanks.
Yea happened to me with the D410. Go to programs and features and uninstall the drivers. Must work. If not try booting into recovery and connect usb . it will always work
