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.

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.

[Request] In need of PowerOff.apk and PowerOff.odex

Hi all,
Incidentally, I removed the application poweroff.apk with Titanium Backup, and I not did the backup. Now, my phone is not shutting down. When to put turn off, it just restarts.
I am with an enormous anguish. My question: I can turn it off by the battery, it will again turn on? I am with fear that the same reason that he is not shutting down, run the risk of it not connecting.
That is because I take the opportunity to change the firmware, and pass the v20q for the v20s. How to do it with Smartflash,I need disconnect the device to complete the procedure.
What do I turn it off again?
Can I change the firmware?
Please, I need help!
Thank you.

root explorer
Someone uses the RootExplorer?

I pulled out my battery like a hundred times. Nothing should happen.
You need to either reflash your ROM or install the update, both will give you the apk back.

Open terminal, write:
su
poweroff
It might work, let me know

Off course terminal emulator will not help you as you said you deleted those apk files so as tonyp said you should reflash your rom

No, but I've done way worse things than that
Don't worry, nothing will happen.
And even if you hit the 0.00001% chance and are stuck - luckily we do have NVFlash and can unbrick every softbricked phone.
That's one big advantage of the LG 2x! You need to damage the hardware to brick the phone.

I want to do this. But for flash It is necessary to turn off the phone.
And this is the problem, if I turn off, it will turn on again?
The process "flash" ensure it will turn on again?

Thats strange, i have always thought that poweroff is an busybox applet (/system/xbin/poweroff), and should work even without poweroff.apk
Just for the fun of it, try
su
reboot

I tried reboot, but the apk not returned. It only restarted normally.
There are an .apk and an .odex (poweroff) located in (System/app/)
I will try Reflash.

To Extract .kdz or .bin
Before performing the reflash, is there any way to extract the file .kdz or .bin from firmware I'm using in by Win7? With this, look for poweroff.apk, to extract, and put in my phone.

If it is noobish, then I apologise sincierly, but I have an idea.
Is it not possible to extract from other phone and upload it somewhere for you to put in your phone?
Like for example, would it help if say I (stock/root/ 2.3.4 O2X) get it for you and uploaded to some fileshare thingy?
(My understanding (being new to O2X but long running user of Androids (G1, Milestone 1, O2X) is that no matter what you do to your software, there is always flash, or nandroid bckup, or ROM install. So no worries. )

Yes that should work. I would have done that myself if I'd use a Stock ROM.

OK guys,
Just reflash solved the problem.

Nexus one with broken power button stuck in bootloop and no unlocked bootloader

Hello,
I think you are my last chance, I have this very specific problem with my Nexus One and can't find any thread on any forum that can help after hours of research:
It's rooted and I have CM7 but after a choc (I thing it's the cause) it reboots and now it's stuck in bootloop.
It happens to me once and i fixed it by flashing with fastboot.exe (i was very lucky this time) but it doesnt work anymore and i don't know why.
My power button is broken so I can't unlock bootloader, I have S-ON and I have read that it can be a problem to use fastboot to flash (I have an error message in the command prompt like this: FAILED: remote not allowed)
If i write "fastboot devices" my Nexus one is recognized so I don't understand why it doesnt work...
If you have any suggestions I take it with pleasure!
(sorry if my english is not perfect)
Thanks.

I have the same problem, I also tried all the command for Fastboot and got me no where.
My problem started when I install Darktemor(If I spelled it right) A2SDGUI and press something for Dalvik and Cache, my phone reboots and got stuck at bootloop forever. I searched the entire net for tutorials, and I tried almost everything and still no luck.
I always have this error code at Fastboot:
"FAILED <remote: not allowed>"
PLEASE! Someone help me, I want to fix this on my own. 'Cause it'll cost me a lot if I have someone fix it for me. Please, i'm begging. Help me. Huhuhu
I have MIUI Rom Installed on my phone, i'm not sure with the version of it. Sorry!!
Please help me guys! Super thank you in advance.

I'm still interested, what method of the link do you use? PASSIMG method?
So i'm stuck in this step: 3.Transfer the provided PASSIMG.ZIP file to the root of your SD card.
How do you go to the root of the sd card if the phone is in bootloop?
Thanks!

By putting the µSD in another (working) phone and connect it to the computer, or by using a µSD adapter which also must be connected to the computer.

It finaly works, after many month i can finaly use my Nexus One... Now it's my new Desire S that have a problem :laugh:
Thanks for helps, this thread is finaly resolved!

Power jack not working

Hi, guys
I'm in a big problem, since from last week the power jack of my O2X don't work.
Since my phone is in warranty time, I can send it to the SAT, but, and that's my big problem, I have to flash the stock and unroot it, but I can't since I can't connect the phone to the pc via USB.
Is there any way to nvflash the phone from the SD, or via wifi or BT ???
Any idea will be very apprecited,
Thanks in advance,
Greetings

Corrupted /data

So apperently because of a restore of an incomplete backup using twrp my phone got bricked. I unbricked it using huawei mt but my /data partition is not mounting because of which the phone won't boot(this is based on my observations and I could be wrong but I am unable to mount /data). I know there is a way to format/repair the /data using adb but idk how to. A lil help would be appreciated.
