Hello everyone!
I'm a new member from today but I have read (and read and read...) the threads here and on every forum I could find, in desperate search for an answer to my questions, but so far I have found none.
Don't shop my head of now but could someone please be so kind and help me root my LG Optimus 2x by giving me a step-by-step info AND include the correct files AND then tell me what to do to have them installed?
There seem to be all too many different alternatives and I am really confused!
Here's what I've done so far -
I had Gingerbread installed and got the phone rooted with SuperOnecClick.
Upgraded then the phone to Ice Cream Sandwish 4.0.4 with LG Support Tool and lost root.
Tried to root with SuperOneClick again but constantly got stuck at # 5 or # 7 (waiting for device).
So, how do I root and where do I find the correct firmware for this?
Android
4.0.4
Bandwithversion
1035.21_20121130
Kernel-version
2.6.39.4
Version
IMM76L.LG-P990-P99030a.1211302332
Software
P99030a
Android SDK
Superuser (not rooted)
SuperOneClick
Hi there,
Since you upgraded to official ICS, you can't use SuperOneClick to get root access again, but fear not as there are alternatives. Here you will find three different methods to root your device. In your case, I believe you need to use either the second or third option listed there.
Be aware that the third option will wipe your device, including your internal SD card, so it'd be a good idea to backup first, just in case. All three methods are harmless, but you never know.
Thank you for your reply! Now I'm on and a step closer in fixing this.
So, my phone cannot be rooted because of Official ICS?! Oh!
- that was new news to me and it could have saved me countless of hours if I had found that information out sooner. A pity I did not write here weeks ago!
I have some more questions though and I think I'm going for the 2nd option in the link you gave me.
"Put your phone into nvflash mode". Do I need a tool for that? (Here I was linking to a nvflash-setup, but as I am a new memeber I am not allowed to post outside links yet). Or do I just hold down volyme + power in order to get into that nvflash mode?
By "unzipping attached archive" I assume it means zipping it on the PC and not on the SD card?
When doing this procedure, do I have the phone in Charging or Mass storage mode?
Just a few questions I hope you (someone) have to time to give me an answer to - Thank you!

You can get it rooted, only not with SuperOneClick ^^

To enter nvflash mode turn off your device, remove the battery, then press and hold Vol- and Power at the same time and plug your phone to your PC via USB. Then follow the rest of the instructions.

Yep ^^ you need to extract the files from the zip to your PC.
Ok, next question :
"boot into cwm and flash SuperSU Root.zip"
How am I suppose to flash anything when the telephone is black and I'm not into it and only work from the computer?
How do I do that?
I'm stuck with a black screen only on the phone.
I heared nothing or saw nothing that sais (sound) that the phone is connected through the USB, but I have followed each step and are now stuck at above question.
Greatful for more help!
MissLight said:
Hm. I have now read more closely on the linked site. Why am I to download ICS again, I already have the same ROM?
Or do you mean I have to change the official ROM to this one in order to root properly?

No, there's no need to reflash ICS. The second method listed there just flashes the unlocked bootloader + root + custom CWM, and it won't touch your data & settings.
MissLight said:
I tried Volume down + Power without battery. Nothing happened, the phone was stonedead even when plugged in with USB.

That's OK. When in nvflash mode, you won't see anything on screen. All you'll get is the sound it makes when connected to USB.
Don't worry, you're nearly there! Keep going!
Edit: just realized I made one small mistake. To enter nvflash mode, you need to press and hold both Vol+ & Vol- at the same time (this also requires removing the battery first). Sorry about that!

Oh! That explains why. My next question was published above your question and still remains.
How do I "boot into cwm and flash SuperSU Root.zip"?
Edit : This procedure does somehow not work on XP so I changed to Windows7 and have now come a bit further. The only thing remaining now is that the computer sais that it cannot find the USB device.
I have downloaded the LG modem and USB firmware but maybe I need something else? Does the firmware in a folder on C: just as NvFlash and SU-folder.
Got OK with USB firmware and all set to go now.
But, in NVFlash Recovery it sais :
Please pick bootloader, or exit (1,X)? (I pressed 1)
Attempting to flash bootloader...
Nvflash started
USB device not found
Program will now exit
So, I'm stuck.
The phone can be found both in Mass Storage mode and I got a OK that the drivers are installed.

Alright, it sounds like you still need the APX drivers. I believe you can find it somewhere on the Development forum (find tonyp's threads, I'm sure he has posted it there). If you already did this, then remember to hold and press both Vol buttons when selecting option 1 so Nvflash can connect to your device and do all the magic.
Don't give up yet, you're a few seconds away from rooting your device (and learning stuff at the same time ^^).
Tried exactly as you said but still no luck. But I'm not giving up!
I found a APX driver. Installed and unziped in the same file as NvFlash. Rebooted PC and tried again.
Still no luck - "USB device not found".
What am I doing wrong?
BEFORE removing the battery from mobile, shall I have Mass Storage or Charging marked?
Do I need to have USB Debugging marked or not?
Latest Update :
I managed to install Nvidia usb boot recovery in the device manager and it's OK.
The device is now found and I got the phone into S/W Upgrade please wait while upgrading-mode.
And there I am - stuck. Nothing more happens. It has freeze.
What do I do next?
A question : How do I "boot into cwm and flash SuperSU Root.zip" - how do I do that?
Nice! Has nvflash finished flashing? If so, it should be safe to unplug the device now.
Put the battery back on, press and hold both Power and Vol- at the same time until the second LG logo appears to enter CWM. From there, select "Install zip from SD card" (or something similar) and select the SU zip file you previously stored onto your sdcard. CWM will then flash the necessary files to root your device! Once done, reboot and enjoy!
Hi again! It's not going as well unfortunately. Very mysterious. *laugh*
"until the second LG logo appears to enter CWM. From there, select "Install zip from SD card"
When pressing Volyme - + Volyme up + Power I get a black screen. Nothing more happens.
And after flashing the flash-boot in NvFlash the phone goes into s/w upgrade please wait while upgrading-mode.
And there it is. Stuck. Nothing more happens. I repeted the procedure for 5 times. I only get to the s/w-mode.
After 3 hours I unplugged it and will restart my search today for what's blocking it to continue.
Hm? Hmmmm....? Any suggestions in what might be wrong?
You have to push and hold only Vol- and Power this time ^^ That will get you into CWM if the flash-boot.bat went right.
Great, I'm in!
But I managed to place the SU zip on wrong device (internal, not external).
How do I get out from cwm-mode, there's no "exit" options?
There should be a Reboot option, use it and your phone will boot as usual. When you're done moving the SU zip file to the external SD card, power off your 2X and do as instructed above to enter CWM again ^^
Thank you for replying so quickly!!!!!
There is a reboot option BUT I unfortunately pressed adb sideload (hoping to install the SU.zip that way, but the device is not to be found on the PC at all in that mode so I can't reach it through cmd either!).
So, I'm completely STUCK at adb sideolad-mode.... (sorry). I'm starting to get grey hair.
Hahahah XD don't worry, just remove the battery and put it back again ^^
*BIG SMILE* Guess what? I have root access! *jumping up and down of joy*
THANK YOU! THANK YOU! THANK YOU so very much for your guidance!
I believe in passing knowledge forward and I will do my best to help others noobs with what you just learned me!
For a stubborn noob like me I was not reflecting over some obvious things though. As that the SU.zip had to be placed on SD-card (and not being unzipped in C: )
And that I had to get the Nvidia APX in order to make NvFlash to work properly (and search through Google to find it and how to make it work).
And that when I'm stuck in CWM I can always remove the battery.
Once again. I'm very glad and THANK you and all credit to You!
You know, I decided to help you because of your will to learn and do stuff by yourself. Many come here and ask for help without trying anything by themselves first, so I actually enjoyed watching you learn ^^
See? It wasn't that hard. All it takes is a lot of reading and patience.
Good job, and welcome to XDA!
I think I might have done it, this time. I installed RebelROM on my phone, as I was curious if it would be more battery friendly. I decided that it wasn't, and went to reboot into recovery to reinstall the nandroid I had made earlier in the afternoon. Oops. My only available recovery was CWM, not TWRP. No problem, I thought, I will just reinstall with CWM. Give me a chance to learn the new recovery, I thought. But, CWM wasn't seeing my external SD card, so I went back and forth to move the nandroid I had made to the internal SD, so CWM could see it. I also installed TWRP to the internal SD, as CWM was proving to be a pain. Unfortunately, TWRP wasn't able to access my internal SD, where the nandroid was now stored, so I tried to recover into an older nandroid. Now, though, the phone won't boot at all, past the screen that describes the phone as an Exhibit from T-Mobile. I can't boot back into recovery. I can't access the drives through the USB cord, either. Any suggestions? Skyukillparanormal has disappeared. Ironically, I'm up in his neck of the woods. Any assistance would be appreciated.

Pull the battery. After replacing, push down the power button and volume up at the same time. Hole them down for a few seconds. CWM should reappear. Either restore your recovery if it was CWM created or reflash the ROM.

Unfortunately, AD, CWM is not reappearing. I had been holding down the power and volume down keys to no avail. Now I know why. It seems, though, that the power/volume up combo has the same (lack of) effect. Am I screwed?

If that isn't working there are more serious problems. Try 2 or 3 times as it doesn't always work the first time. You can try ODIN but it's for advanced users. If you don't know how to use it probably not the best option. I hope you didn't brick your recovery because in that case that's the only option that will save you.

I tried multiple times. I was thinking ODIN might be my only option, but I would never do that myself. I will have to do some research to learn if there is someone near where I am now, or where I live. Thanks for your help. I thought we'd lost you to the S2 fora....

Well soon that will be the case but not yet! Anyway here the link to get ODIN: http://forum.xda-developers.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=2012979&d=1370213005
Instructions here:
2. With your phone powered off, go into the Download (or Odin) mode by pressing the volume down and power buttons. When the screen with the exclamation mark appears, select the volume up button. You should now be in download mode.
3. Connect your Galaxy Exhibit to your PC.
3. Open Odin Multi Downloader v4.43.exe on your PC.
4. click on the OPS-Button and navigate to the folder with the extracted files and select Ancora.ops file.
5. Select the options: One Package, Protect OPS. I did not touch the Auto Reboot, Reset Time options.
6.Click on the One Package-Button and select the md5 file in the extracted folder.
7. Click on the Start button. The flashing process took around 5 minutes for me, at which point the phone rebooted into recovery mode to finish the process. I selected reboot the system.

Thank you for the link, but I can already tell that there will be a problem with that solution, as well. I tried over and over to press the power volume down button. I never saw a screen with an exclamation point. I never see anything until I release both buttons, at which point it starts up normally, but like I said, freezes before the rom loads, or before loading any recovery. There seems to be no difference if I hold down the vol up or the vol down button.

Just like CWM, it can take a few tries. Yeah I know that gets old but sometimes it's taken me 4 or 5 attempts before I can get the phone into download mode. Don't give up until you're sure there is nothing to be done. It really just sounds like a soft brick to me.
Maybe if all else fails just say the hell with it, and if you can, get the Galaxy Light on HSN ($150). They'll let you pay in installments if you can't/don't want to pay all at once. You won't be able to root it just yet since it's new, but man maybe it's for the best. At least you will not be able to brick that phone! It has JB on it anyway.

Soft brick is what I was thinking, too.
Man, that Galaxy Light is perfect! I have been looking for exactly that phone for a while. When did it come out? And paying in installments makes it even better. Plus, I've now learned my lesson. When I do root that phone, I will be more careful about my flashaholic tendencies. If I get it, that is. We'll have to see.

Came out in just the past couple of months. The hardware is so much better than the Exhibit. Again keep in mind, there presently is no way to root it and there are no custom ROMs right now. Activity on XDA for this device has been pretty light, only downside to this phone and the main reason I passed on it.

I understand about there being no xda activity. That's a consideration. With 8 GB of internal storage _plus_ a removable SD card, though, I can't see bloatware being a problem for a bit. By then, the Slimroms guys will have gotten ahold of it and put together something, I am sure. Can I live with stock jb? Can I even pick this up? Hmmmmmm...... Food for thought.

You should be able to restore the nandroid. Since you have CWM working again, you can always do a full wipe & flash the ROM again if that doesn't work.

Wow, then that means you don't have the Samsung drivers installed. This is getting more complicated. You'll have to have the drivers installed for this device. Unfortunately it might be too late because after you get them installed to your PC, you have to connect your phone and it would have to be in a usable state for the drivers to finish installing if I remember correctly.
Anyay you can still try it, here's the drivers you need: http://www.samsung.com/us/support/owners/product/SGH-T679DBBTMB?

Actually, all is not lost. The drivers have been located and installed and the phone is now detected. Exactly which boxes are checked on the ODIN panel? You had mentioned that you didn't touch two of them (Protect OPS and Reset Time, I believe), but those were already selected when the program started. Right now, all 4 options are selected. Is the CWM .tar file all you need for the One Package link, or is there something else?

No the CWM file is all you need. After you flash that you're done.

Error message saying an unnamed file was not found and operation terminated...
edit-never mind. it's fine. it's doing its thing....
It says "pass" and the 5 min timer is done, but the phone has not rebooted. Is there something else I need to do? Auto-reboot is selected, but it doesn't seem to be booting. Thanks.
I just got a new TF701 during excitement I didnt realize that my charger is defective and while it was doing a firmware update it ran out of power.
Now I have a asus transformer that gets stuck on the boot. I get to the screen that I see the ASUS logo and the circle thingy turns at the bottom.
My recovery is locked as I never unlocked it in the first place.
I am looking for suggestions that I can do to recover from this problem.
You should be able to manually flash the firmware.
Download the correct firmware for your region (US for the USofA, WW for Europe, Austalia etc) from Asus Support Downloads.
Unzip the downloaded file once which will give you another zip. Copy that xxxx.user.zip to the root of an empty, fat32 formatted microSD.
Insert microSD into powered down tablet.
Boot holding Power and Volume Dwn buttons until you see a screen with 3 icons. RCK should be flashing.
Push Volume Up to enter recovery.
The recovery will recognize the firmware file and flash it.

Extra info: I am in USA so I have to use US firmware
I have tried this process using a 32GB sdcard. But no hope. After I get to the recovery screen and select RCK, it shows "signature matched" then shows an android with a blue line under and soon after shows an android with an exclamation mark.
I tried to do the process using WW_10_26_1_18_SDupdate.zip. This apparently did something as the part with an android and blue line under took longer and the line partially change to brighter blue. But again I ended up with a dead android sign and no luck in getting out of it.

I tried to do the process using WW_10_26_1_18_SDupdate.zip. This apparently did something as the part with an android and blue line under took longer and the line partially change to brighter blue. But again I ended up with a dead android sign and no luck in getting out of it.

Please post the exact file name of the zip you try to flash.
Here are the files I tried to flash:
US_epaduser_10_14_1_47_UpdateLauncher.zip -> UL-K00C-US-10.14.1.47-user.zip
US_epaduser_10_26_1_18_UpdateLauncher.zip -> UL-K00C-US-10.26.1.18-user.zip
WW_10_26_1_18_SDupdate.zip -> T4_SDUPDATE.zip
Only the third one showed some promise but I still get the failed android symbol.
I'm stumped....
The only thing I can think of is a bad download, but twice in a row??? I am not counting the T4 file since you cannot do a SKU conversion on stock.
Time for a warranty claim I'm afraid....
It's possible something got corrupted if it powered off during the flash process. You'd think in this day and age asus would force you to be powered above a certain level or connected to the charger....
If you are locked ask for an exchange.

Dont bother, I have tried for a week straight trying to unbrick mine. I did a factory reset and it destroyed my whole filesystem. :/
i just got mine so i just got a replacement from amazon
Mine was a present and I have no idea where they got it and they tossed the receipt. I'm sol. I'm broke so RMA may take a while as well! xD

Also for getting into recovery follow these steps. Turn off. Hold volume down and also power. When Asus pops up release power and keep hold of volume until the bootloader appears. On bootloader go down to boot recovery. When it reboots to an android guy hold volume up and down at the same time. Let go of volume up and do this r over and over until it goes to recovery. The steps are ridiculous but I know it for sure because my last week of trying to fix mine has been hell.

I bricked mine, but I am adventurous so found a method to recover to factory.
I'm not providing links as they are searchable here on XDA.
The steps are:
1) Get the factory image from Asus
2) Get FB Tethered Recovery Launcher
3) boot into fastboot mode
4) Hook up to computer
5) ensure the device is listed with correct drivers
6) Run ADB (from your platform tools, there is a copy in FBRL folder)
8) copy the zip file from Asus to the device (adb push /path/to/local/file /mnt/sdcard/path/to/file)
9) Run launcher from FB recovery
10) Choose T2 option, follow prompts to let it do it's thing
11) You should boot into CWM on the device
12) install from zip and point to the zip file you pushed earlier
13) Follow the prompts, and presto, restored to factory and can root/update etc.
I'd like to say thanks to the good info posted here and in other threads. I got stuck in a boot loop tonight and had no idea if I'd be able to fix it. Here's what I did (combination of this thread and others)
My method requires an micro SD card and an Internet connection
1. Confirm you can boot into fastboot:
---->Reboot into fastboot (droid boot) by powering device off (hold power button down), then holding down volume up while powering on. I released the up button once the screen went blank. It should eventually present options to reboot into droidboot, reboot, update from SD, etc.
2. Download the newest firmware from ASUS
YOU NEED THE WW version most likely (worldwide?)
3. Save this to the root of your SD card
4. rename file to MOFD_SDUPDATE.zip
5. Insert card into tablet.
6. While in droidboot/fastboot Choose the option to update from SD. It reboots and uploads the firmware. I was pleasantly surprised that I got my tablet back so easily.
Hope this helps some other poor soul.
There are other methods, but in simplicity, yours seems to win the match. Thank you very much.

I do not get the option to Update from SD while in DroidBoot...why is that? I get the other options...REBOOT, REBOOT DROIDBOOT, RECOVERY, POWER OFF.
Please help! I've already sent this back to Asus, and they just sent it right back to me.

Click on recovery. Inside recovery you'll get a "no command" screen. Hit the center of the volume rocker (it'll take a few tries) and you'll see the update command.

thanks Jerbear (Love the name, Deadhead!), I did this which brings up regular Android recovery, but no option to update except through ADB.

Try this, then.
In the main thread somebody linked a temporary cwm session. Try booting into it and installing the update from there (Nandroid while you're at it )
Why would I not even have the option though??

I'm not exactly sure.
I need some help. I have average experience with ADB and cannot get ADB to recognize my device. Debugging on of course, and I dowloaded the zip for the drivers. I don't really know where to go from here. Any help will be greatly appreciated! I need to get this thing back up and running!!

What is your exact model number so i can give you correct files links ?
For example T-mobile note 4 has 3 models (SM-N910T / SM-N910T2 / SM-N910T3 .which 1 of these 3 you got?
You can simply check your model number by pressing 3 button combo while device is switched off (volume down+home+power) will boot into odin download mode press volume up to continue there you can see your device model number on top left corner.
It will be better if you can take a photo of your device while in odin download mode and and upload it so i can see what else will require to fix.
Let me know and I'll get back to you.

What kind of error pops up ?
Do factory reset 1 more time.after reset let phone completly cool down dont touch anything .
then you complete setup.
Use high speed microsd card if microsd card is not good it can cause issues and lag to whole device.
Download wake lock app from playstore and open the app you have to click on partial wake lock as shown in screenshot below.it will manage your cpu to run more efficient.
If issue still remains you have to erase old nandroid completly by using PIT FILE and repartion your internal memory to flash fresh nandroid.
Try first the things that i mention and use your device for 2 days.if it didnt work after that you can try erasing nandroid with my guide.

you can fix this problem permanently by erasing old corrupted nandroid and if this method also fail then might your device has some hardware issues.

Odin
PIT FILE

MOST IMPORTANT YOUR DEVICE MUST BE IN COOL TEMPERATURE OR YOU CAN REMOVE BATTERY AND PUT IN REFRIGERATOR FOR 30 TO 60 MINUTES.IF YOUR DEVICE IS HOT DURING PROCESS IT CAN CAUSE EMMC CHIP FAILURE (INTERNAL MEMORY).
1.open odin
2.upload firmware in AP tab.
3.download PIT FILE from link below.
4.in odin you have TAB named "PIT" (right next to the options) click on it and upload pit file along with firmware file.
5. go to options in odin and check on "Nand Erase All" and "Re-partition" dont touch anything else in options.
6.do factory reset in your phone.
7.remove sd card and sim card from device.
8.go to download mode in your phone.
9.connect your phone to pc via usb cable.

Hi I'm unable to connect my phone to pc unfortunately and Now I believe this is hardware problem as when I decided to get my phone unlocked the person who was unlocking couldn't connect either so he'd suggested me that it's a hardware problem and couple of days later I was able to connect to PC till today. so I think I won't be able to perform repartition my phone until and unless I get my connectivity back. Thank You so much for your help anyway. I'd definitely give it a try as soon as I get my connectivity back and will update you.
Thanks

Reinstall samsung kies/samsung usb drivers
Restart phone again to download mode.
Try different usb cable.
Right click on odin and open as administrator.
Hopefully it will connect.

I just tired, and nothing worked out. the place where I took my phone to unlock he actually changed the charging and connecting port to check if it's port problem but the result was same until it gets back connectivity on it's own. I just changed the cable reset phone couple of times. It's not even connecting as a media device.
