[LG Drivers] (Easy) for LGP999DW (G2X)

READ! This following tutorial will help you install ONLY the LG Drivers NOT the APX drivers needing for ClockWorkMOD..
So I was messing around with how to get the drivers working to my LG G2X.
Using this thread. [Drivers][APP] LG Mobile Support Tool / Nvidia NvFlash APX Driver for LGP999DW G2x
But I could not get it to work this way so I put in my info to the drivers and downloaded the drivers.
It gave me this file I installed it now drivers are working for me. I am now able to get into adb.
So this is a shortened process, therefore you now do NOT need to remove your battery, nor hold any buttons. Simply just install the .exe file (located below)
I don't know if it's 32bit compatible, as I am using a Windows 7 64bit. (Let me know)
Steps:
1. Download this FILE HERE (InstallScript Setup Launcher)
2. Run the .exe file.
3. After installation reboot computer (not necessary, but I did)
4. Plug in your LG G2X (make sure Mass storage only is uncheck)
There you go! Your drivers should be installed very easily without much hassle.

you say "you put in your info to the drivers and downloaded"???????
and i think you should specify a little more as to what people are downloading and installing on their pc's.

Yes sorry, I used the LGMobile Support Tool.
Went to the Customer Support Tab, Then clicked on (Application and Manual USB Driver.) Entered my S/N and phone type got this download for the G2x Drivers. I just shortened the process and just uploaded the "Driver Installation Tool"

with all due respect, this is old news.

I'm sorry. I just thought I'd share a simple step process of installing drivers. From the others I have read require you to remove your battery, hold vol up and down, and plug in USB cable. This you just simply install and plug in phone.

In order to activate NVFlash support for flashing the recovery partition of the G2x, NVIDIA APX driver has to be installed during NVFlash mode (battery out, Vol up + Vol down. If you can get those drivers to work without doing all that, you da man. Until then, this thread is just another way to install LG's drivers for ADB, SD mounting, etc.

BTW, loved your Hero ROM for the G1

the vol.up\down is to enter the nvidia recovery. the lg drivers are for your pc to see\recognize your phone and it's sdcard. and i think you need them to charge through usb. but i think that's been debunked.

Alil off topic but... MLING are you planing on doing any work for the G2x?... loved your work for the G1/MT3G..
Sent from my G2x *****es!!! :-D

Is this assuming you have not installed any drivers at all? And also assuming you had not connected your phone to the computer via usb?

correct. but even if windows installed drivers when you plugged in, you should still do this to get the latest drivers.

You got the APX driver to install correctly (without having to put your phone in low level flashing mode), and tested nvflash? As well have never installed the APX driver before using the 3 button method?
Please let me know your detailed steps and testing and I will append my post for the oneclick app.

quick question... I went to my phone settings and can't see an option to uncheck mass storage... can somebody shade some light?
thanks

Well, something it is not working here...
installed your link on my pc... rebooted... then plugged my phone to pc then on my phone I pressed the *turn on storage* thing and BOOM! blue screen of death on my PC...
I had posted on the general section about my problem and I bought a new sdcard thinking the problem was my old card and it seems it is not!
Who's willing to help me out?

running CM7?

@TGA_Gunnman yes I was running CM7.... but I used my dropbox account and downloaded eagleblood's ROM since I could not mount my sdcard....
My phone is charging, I will update tomorrow to let you know if my sdcard is now being recognized!
You know what's funny? Since my last problem with the drivers/uninstalling I now do not see the nvidia driver under device manager? I think I had erased nvflash option on my pc??? *I used your one click method when I first installed drivers and nvflash* and yes I am able to vol down + power to enter recovery on my phone.

Well, good news after reverting to eagles' rom I am successfully able to mount both my sdcard and external sdcard!!!
I hope once I change back to CM7 I am able to do so as perfect as in the eagles' rom.

BAD NEWS! and cyanogenmod you probably need to take a look at this.. I went back to cm7 and now my drivers are all messed up again or whatever it is I am not able to mount SDcard to PC once again!

[Q] [q] HELP ME PLEASE !IM STUCK!

HELP ME PLEASEEE
I tried rooting my phone by following the instruction
(Download the unrEVOked modified USB driver and expand it somewhere you will remember.
Turn off your phone, then boot it into the HBOOT menu by holding power and volume down.
On your phone, you will have to select HBOOT USB at that menu by pressing volume down four times, then power. Wait until the screen flashes through an “SD Checking” message before pressing buttons; otherwise, the phone will ignore keypresses.
Connect the phone to your Windows machine with a USB cable and wait for the phone to say HBOOT USB PLUG on screen.
Open Device Manager.
Click Start, then right click on Computer, then click Properties, then click Device Manager.
Under Other devices, you should now see the Android 1.0 device.
Right click on Android 1.0 and click Update Driver Software:
Click on Browse my computer for driver software.
Click on Browse and select the Android USB Driver folder on on your computer, click ok, then click next.
You should get a status bar indicating that the driver is installing. If you get any warnings, just click Ok.
Your driver should install.
Click Close and make sure Android Bootloader Interface is listed under Android Phone.)
But after i successfully update my driver from Android 1.0 to Android bootloader interface, i dont know what to do just now and i select fastboot from my phone. Im not sure whether my phone isit rooted?
Anyone help please :x

Now that you've connected the phone to your computer, the next step is to do the actual rooting.
If you have an Evo, check the stickies in the Evo forum for more details.

G2x rooting not

i just got a g2x and i have tried rooting it which has 2.3.3 software and it is not working
tried all the ways ive read on here
is there a NEW way to do this that is more easy and simple ?

If you have clockworkmod installed, you can flash a rooted version of the official Gingerbread update.
I don't believe there's an easy way to root stock OTA using one-click root tools or anything like that.
Check the Dev page for "rooted OTA" or something similar.

Try searching and reading a bit bro, here u go. Flash recovery through nvflash then you can flash any rom.

Have you successfully flashed clockworkmod recovery to your phone? You'll know you've flashed it correctly if with your phone off you can boot into recovery by holding Volume Down + Power.

Ok that means you still have stock recovery. For now the only way to have a rooted gingerbread installation on this phone is to flash a pre-rooted version. To do that you need a custom recovery. If you wish to have rooted gingerbread on your G2X then getting clockworkmod recovery properly flashed to your phone is where you have to start. Follow the instructions in OP of this thread and you'll be ready to flash roms:

guess ill wait for something easier,i tried those steps already and it keeps saying no usb device detected

Did you install the device drivers??? Did you restart after installing them?

yes i did,when they get it where one click can install EVERYTHING i'LL try it again
this has given me headaches the last few days

Which "one click" did you try? There is Superoneclick which is a rooting tool, and currently doesn't work for gingerbread on the G2X. There is also the one-click nvflash tool, which installs clockworkmod recovery on your phone. The nvflash tool is the one you need. Did you use that one?
G2X CM7

yes but maybe i did it wrong...i uniinstalled everything from my computer,so now im will try it again when i find all the right links

this is ridiculous!!!! tried it again with no luck
this is the hardest way to root a phone ive seen yet!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
i cant even extract the cwr or i can but nothing happens except it shows file that cant be opened
please find a easier way to root the 2.3.3 software!!!!!!!

Even if you could root your 2.3.3 rom, you'd still need to nvflash cwm recovery. It's really a very easy process. Once you have the drivers installed, it takes less than a minute to flash recovery. I'm not sure where you're getting stuck.
G2X CM7

From the thread I linked to above, you downloaded the file called One-Click-G2x-recovery-flasher-06-16.far correct? You need to Winrar to extract it. Once you extract it then you just follow the directions in the OP of that thread I linked to. I'm not sure how to make it any clearer. Every step is listed very plainly in that tutorial.

You're so close! Don't give up! My guess is its one of 4 problems:
-- APX driver is not properly installed. This is what I would check first.
This is copied from the guide I linked to earlier:
"Unlike a lot of Android phones out there the Nvidia Tegra2 chipset require additional drivers in Windows to support low level flashing.
Install APX Windows driver from APX folder.
(Windows x86 and x64 O/S Drivers): ****If you are running VmWare kill it.****
1. Remove the battery.
2. Plug in your USB cable to your PC.
3. Hold Volume Up and Volume Down at the same time keeping them held down.
4. Plug in the USB cable to your phone. (Keep the buttons held until Windows detects a new APX device.)
5. Open Device Manager in Windows and you should see "APX Device" listed with an error icon.
6. Right click on the APX device.
7. Select 'Update driver software'.
8. Select 'Browse my computer...'.
9. Select 'Let me pick...'.
10. Select 'Have disk'.
11. Browse to directory you extracted the *driver* software to: One-Click-G2x-recovery-flasher-06-16\APX.
12. Accept any warnings, including the big red alert (you may need to disable UAC).
13. Now in Device Manager under 'USB Controllers' you should have an 'NVIDIA USB Boot-recovery driver for mobile devices'.
14. If not, uninstall the driver, reboot, rinse and repeat."
-- Bad USB cable.
-- Bad USB port.
-- You're not following the directions exactly as they're written in the tutorial.

[Q] HTC Inspire Red Traingle Exclamation Won't reset

Hello,
I was reading a thread on someone who had the exact same issue, but no solution was ever posted.
Here's the thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1458066
Background - this is a friends HTC Inspire, no rooting or anything was attempted, factory untouched phone bought new from AT&T.
Turns on, eventually goes to a 2 green arrows in a circle around a phone and then to a red triangle with red exclamation point over a black phone. I can hold the volume up and power to reset or wipe cache, neither does anything. Comes back to the same screen. says:
E:Can't open /cache/recovery/command

Doing a boot holding volume down and power shows this info:

I tried formatting the sd card and using recovery and stock rom to load, nothing worked, as if not recognized. The sd card had data on it(which was accessible), which I transfered to the computer before formatting.
Any ideas? I have never used an android device but I've been reading through this forum and others for hours now... phone is outside of warranty now too, so that's no longer an option. Thanks in advance.

It failed during the update to the current rom version or was reset/lost power during update. Use a pc to download the most recent ruu update for the inspire from HTC. Then download and install htc sync on pc. Place phone into fastboot mode with sd card inserted and then plug into pc. Run ruu from pc. Data will be lost but phone will be usable.

So Gizmoe, I am in the same boat as original poster. I downloaded the correct ruu from HTC , but PC won't recognize phone. Point of clarification
When you say "place phone into fast boot mode" does that mean just connect to PC at that point or do I shut phone down and then connect. I've been going bonkers since ATT pushed software update and bricked the phone.
Thanks for any advice.

It means with phone powered off hold down volume up and press power. Continue to hold volume until you see the hboot screen. Then select fastboot ( vol + - to make choice power to select). Then plug into pc. You should see the words fastboot usb on phone.

Ok, we'll I got it into fast boot USB mode, plugged in USB to PC, ran exe ruu file (which takes forever btw) and then got connection error. Ruu application then exits. Must be something hosed up in the phone with drivers. Bummer
I just checked Windows devices and it is showing as a "Device failed enumeration" error. Trying to troubleshoot that but have my doubts right now. I did notice that when I connected it earlier today PC saw it as G drive for a split second and then it dropped.

Do you have HTC sync installed and running?

Hi Gizmoe. Well I have HTC Sync but I didn't think I needed to have that running. I just ran the ruu exe file, but got connection error. I just tried HTC Sync with phone in fastboot usb mode but HTC Sync can't see it. Version of HTC Sync is 3.3.63. The other thing I noticed is that if phone is off and plugged into PC it is recognized as a removable device with a G: drive letter in device manager, but doesn't show up in file explorer and running exe or HTC Sync still can't see it.
If it's connected when it's in fastboot usb mode then windows says "last device connected malfunctioned " and PC doesn't see it.
I'm in this catch 22. Tried to do recovery process to install a ruu off sdcard which errors out, and can't install ruu from pc since phone usb connection not recognized.

UPDATE: I decided to just try the recovery method again while the phone was plugged into USB cable just to charge it. Well it downloaded the latest HTC version of the ROM and it installed....YEAH, BUT phone thinks it's a Desire , not an Inspire and the IMEI MMEI etc. info is missing. No connectivity to mobile network. And I don't have keyboard function either. Sooo, I think I will try another ruu and see if that works starting from scratch. I guess I'm still missing some files or steps in this process. I used to be in the PC business and thought they could be convoluted, but cellphones take the cake.

Yes they do. Just an fyi the desire and inspire are exactly the same device and HTC left the inspire name out of the build prop. It will say it's a desire HD, so that's normal. The rest isn't though. Yeah I would try the ruu again. Just make sure HTC sync is installed and running. You can run it from the phones os too.

Gizmoe, thought I'd give you the latest update: I was able to finally get the PC (Win8) to recognize the phone by installing HTC Sync 3.3.63, installing Win7 64bit drivers.
Then I downloaded RUU_Ace_Sense30_S_Cingular_US_3.20.502.63_Radio_12.69c.60.29U_26.09.13.17_M_release_335423_signed from HTC site. This is an exec file.
Got phone into USB debugging mode, fastboot off , charge only, and ran the above RUU. Seemed to be working as it asked if I wanted to update etc. and warned about losing data. Said ok and RUU exec then popped up status window saying "Waiting for bootloader......................"
This ran for a few minutes and then Windows popped up message saying last USB device connected failed. Then RUU exec finally popped up and said Connection Error 171. No choice but to exit program. This has happened twice. Very annoying. Took forever to get PC to recognize phone and now I'm still stuck with a brick thanks to ATT.
Any thoughts ?

UPDATE:
SUCCESS !! :good: Well it only took a boatload of patience and a 7 yr. old laptop running XP to get the phone re-imaged. Process was sloooow (about 30 minutes) but all drivers loaded and the stock ROM from HTC installed fine. Phone is now back to operational. Turns out I didn't lose contacts since they were apparently backed up in Google account. (YEAH) Now I just have to manually install 4 more small security patches from HTC. Their website isn't too clear as to how to do this but I'll muddle thru it.
Thanks Gizmoe for your help and suggestions. You are right I would definitely recommend that anyone trying to root, recover or re-image from scratch an Android from a PC to avoid Win8 at this time and stick with Win7 or XP.

Help me please!

A PD98IMG is a way to install various things but requires an s off device. It is not a method to acheive s off. What exactly is the problem you are having? Are you not able to boot your device? If you are still stock, run the current RUU from HTC through fastboot as explained in previous posts in this thread.

HTC bootloader problem
Gizmoe, I am joining this group, I have the same problem, followed all steps. my problem is that RUU during the process sends msg to phone to reboot and start Bootloader my phone reboots and stays with white screen / green HTC logo (freezes?) RUU after waiting for Bootloader returns error 171 connection problem. My guess is that bootloader is not starting and RUU times out and thinks that it is connection problem.
Uninstalled sync and reinstalled latest version, deleted and re downloaded latest RUU. System recognizes phone ( device manager shows HTC). Any suggestions? Thanks.

Yeah there seems to be a communication issue. Try putting phone into fastboot. Make sure phone reads fastboot usb. Then run RUU. There may be programs in pc as well blocking it. See if you can send fadtboot commands if the aforementioned method doesn't work. If that's how you already tried running it then run it from booted phone.

Help me plz

No it won't relock it, once you've SIM unlocked a phone it stays that way. One very important question though, do you ever want to unlock the bootloader, root it, install custom ROMs? If so, you must unlock the bootloader before installing the 4.2.2 update. If you take the update without unlocking the bootloader first you'll never be able to. If you're happy with a stock device don't worry about it, but I feel a duty to warn you just in case.

Also, I assume you're going to use an RUU to update your device. You must check something first, to do that you'll need to access your bootloader.
To boot into the bootloader there are two methods.
With phone powered on
Hold the volume down button, then hold the power button (so you're holding both buttons together), the button lights will start to flash, they will stop flashing and the screen will go blank, after a couple of seconds let go of the power button but continue to hold the volume down button until you reach the white screen with text, this is your bootloader.
With phone powered off
Hold the volume down button, then hold the power button (so you're holding both buttons together), after a couple of seconds let go of the power button but continue to hold the volume down button until you reach the white screen with text, this is your bootloader.
Please post the first five lines.
You'll also need to check your CID, for that you need to have adb/fastboot installed, as well as drivers to make it work. To get adb/fastboot installed just Google "minimal adb and fastboot" and the first result will be an XDA thread with detailed instructions. To get the drivers you can install HTC Sync Manager (from the HTC site), then connect your phone to the PC and the drivers should install automatically. Once the drivers are installed you should uninstall HTC Sync Manager because it gets in the way, leave the drivers installed obviously.
To use fastboot just boot into the bootloader as described earlier, correct your phone to your PC, open a command prompt from within your fastboot folder (navigate to where you have fastboot.exe installed, press shift + right click, select open command prompt here), and first issue this command:
Code:
fastboot devices
The command prompt could return your device serial number, if it doesn't you'll probably need to check your drivers. If it does you can go ahead and issue this command:
Code:
fastboot oem readcid
Please post what it says now.

software upgrade to 5.18.502.1
This software upgrade available for your HTC One X for AT&T provides the following key enhancements:
· Android Version: 4.2.2
· HTC Sense: 5.0
For more details about the changes in this software update, please visit
htc at&t usa official website for more info

Ok, that's cool, you can run that RUU and should have no issues. Backup anything important just I'm case though. Just connect your phone in bootloader mode and run the exe program in Windows, make sure HTC Sync Manager is uninstalled (leave drivers installed), make sure no other programs are running, make sure screen saver/hibernation is turned off.

how to backup every thing?
what it mean that it will wipe all the data.?
what if i dont uninstall sync manager.
please give me some more guidance about it.

Where does it say anything about wiping data? You can mount the sd card to your PC and backup images, videos, music, all of your personal data, just by copying it to your PC. You can use an app called Helium to backup the apps that you have installed. If you don't uninstall HTC Sync Manager it can interfere with the RUU process and brick your phone.

but this will not written any where on htc website in user manual to uninstall sync manager.
If you are outside of AT&T/Wi-Fi coverage, or the update is not found, you may perform a manual system update. This process requires that you download and install HTC Sync Manager first in order to get the proper drivers. If you do not have HTC Sync Manager installed already, you may download the software from http://www.htc.com/www/software/htc-sync-manager/.
WARNING: Performing the system update manually will delete all information from the device. Ensure all information is backed up before proceeding. See the Help & How To section of this website for more information on backing up your device contents.
Performing the ROM Update:
1. Download and save the HTC One™ X for AT&T ROM update to your PC.
2. Connect your device to your PC via the supplied USB cable.
3. If the device is not recognized by the PC, ensure you have HTC Sync Manager installed and then disconnect and reconnect the device from the USB cable.
4. Once the device is properly recognized on the PC, locate the HTC One™ X for AT&T ROM Update that you downloaded. Double-click on the file to launch the system update wizard.
5. Follow all of the system update wizard instructions shown on your PC.
6. Once the update is complete, click Finish in the Wizard and the device will reboot.
7. Once the device reboots, the initial setup wizard will appear.
8. Once the initial setup process is complete, the device is ready for use.
Note: If the ROM update wizard fails to recognize the device, close the wizard and then follow the steps below:
· From a powered off state, hold VOLUME DOWN while powering on the device.
· Use the volume buttons to scroll to FASTBOOT and then press the POWER button to select it.
· Connect the device to the PC while in this state and attempt the ROM update again.
To exit FASTBOOT manually, use the volume keys to navigate to REBOOT and press the POWER button to select it.

Fine, leave HTC Sync Manager installed and see what happens. It's your phone, your risk. The fact is that Sync Manager can disrupt the fastboot connection to the device. If the RUU loses connection with the device during the RUU process it can brick the phone. Do you know what that means? It means your phone will be a paperweight. Why are you so concerned about uninstalling the program when you've been told you could brick your phone by leaving it installed?
I don't see why you came here asking for the advice of experts if you're just going to argue with the advice you're given. I'm probably more experienced with this device than the person that wrote those directions you posted, but don't listen to me if you don't want to, I don't care. Don't bother asking for any more advice if you are just going to ignore it though.

By the way that all stuff is written on htc website.
Don't know what to do plz give me suggedtion

I already told you what you need to do in post #6, check that again and follow those directions, it's as simple as that. You'll know if the drivers are installed correctly when you initiate the RUU, if it doesn't connect properly you'll need to check your drivers.
Are you sure you want to stay with the stock at&t ROM though? I ask because you won't be able to use tethering on the device because at&t deliberately break that feature on their ROMs. If tethering isn't important to you, you needn't worry about it but I thought I better inform you of that.

I already told you how to install it, I don't like having to repeat myself. You can find out what fastboot is by using Google. The first rule of XDA is to search before posting here, please do that.

Yes, you can try that if you want to. If that doesn't work, put the phone into bootloader mode and start the program.
