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.

Did this really require another thread? Check the Development Section.

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

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.

Xoom bricked seen as APX in devices need drivers

Bricked Xoom built a program cable but fails to install drivers when connected. I tried going to devices and troubleshooting searched for drivers but none were found.
Any idea of what i can try next?

Have you downloaded drivers from motodev?
Prior to the bricking, could you connect to your computer?

It will connect but it just shows up as APX in the devices and says its missing drivers. I went to moto and downloaded USB drivers but still does the same thing. The xoom does nothing when plugged in.

Windows 7 or XP?

Windows 7. I did manage to get some drivers to install. Don't know if their the rite ones though. I clicked on let me choose such drivers, found some in SDK for htc,Samsung,and Motorola. Chose Motorola and it had several adb drivers clicked next and they installed. So now it just shows it as APX in the devices but no longer has the missing drive issue. Still no sign of life when trying adb or fastboot.

What mode is it in when you are attempting to connect it to your computer?

It's just a black screen. Won't turn on at all even when pressing volume+power. All it does is the white light comes on when charging. Can't get recovery mode or fastboot.

I have the same problem.. doing my head in trying to fix it. I have tryed everything i can think off. Anyone out there know how to fix it in apx mode using a factory cable ?

Did you ever find a solution to this issue?
I currently have a black-screen bricked Xoom. I have tried all the 'soft-unbrick' methods, I can _NEVER_ get anything to appear on screen. The only signs of life are with a 'factory cable'
With this 'factory cable' I am able to see 'APX' in my Device Manager. I can make it 'reboot' by doing the volume up + power which makes the device disappear and reappear. No other key combinations have any effect.
I am able to install either the Nvidia NVFlash drivers. However NVFlash doesn't work. Possibly due to a lack of SBK (Secure Boot Key).
I am also able to install the "Universal Naked Driver" which makes the device show up as an "Asus Transformer APX" However neither fastboot or adb seem to see the device.
Does anyone have any suggestions how I can unbrick my Xoom?

Dear all,
I got the same thing.
I installed the driver from nvflash drivers. And I ran several commands to try, it showed no bootloader was specified. I guess maybe I damaged my bootloader. Does any of you unbricked your xoom?
Here is a link to my post, which showed my tries.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1838002
Anyone could help us? Thanks a lot.

Wow, i've been on that Wagon for a long time. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1838002 Now I just gave up cause I don't think anyone has gone past installing the drives after it detecting as APX.

Thanks for your kindly reply.
So, you mean there is no hope.
Actually, I sent it to another MOTO local service center again. After one week, they told me they tried to restore the software in two steps, but only the first could be done, and then went back to brick again. And they thought there might be some damage on “the kit” of motherboard, and if I want to repair, the whole motherboard must be replaced totally.
If you still have the bricked XOOM, would you please try to draw the BCT and config.cfg from your device?
Again, I did another search. Although there is no available bootloader.bin, BCT and config.cfg for XOOM, I guess there might be possible to use SAMSUNG P7510's files, because the hardwares are almost same, and it's heard that P7510 could use XOOM's ROM.

[Q] Issues With Rooting

I used to have a rooted EVO 4G through work, but recently they switched me over to an iSheep, and as you can imagine I absolutely hate it. And since it’s for work they’ve installed AirWatch so I can’t jailbreak it. But I also have a TF101 that's currently not rooted.
I got my TF101 about a year ago and rooted it like every good android user should. But after about 6 months, I found a small hair line crack in the touch screen. I unrooted it and sent it in to ASUS for them to repair. I always keep my tablet closed in the docking station when it wasn’t in use. I then found this thread, http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1498237 that stated this is why the screen cracked. So ASUS and I went back and forth for about a month before they finally covered it under warranty and repaired my tablet.
When I got my tablet back I found they upgraded it to 9.2.1.27. I connected it to a computer so I could reroot it, but my tablet is no longer detected by a computer. I tried two computers and two data cables. I’ve also tried all the methods for installing the drivers. I didn’t want to send it back to ASUS due to the issues I previously had with them. I’ve been following Thing O Doom’s thread, http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1681155 because he stated he's working on a rooting apk, but he no longer has his TF101 so progress has been slow.
But in my searching I found this thread,http://www.transformerforums.com/fo...rmed-fix-gain-root-after-8-6-5-21-update.html that stated I can get the zip out of an old ASUS update and put that on my sdcard and let the tablet update itself to an older version. ASUS made an instruction sheet for manually updating with a zip, http://dlcdnet.asus.com/pub/ASUS/EeePAD/TF101G/e6754_TF101_Update_SOP.pdf. Once downgraded I could use RazerClaw http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1345049 to root, and then flash a recovery, rom, etc.
Will this method work? I have to believe no, it just seems too easy. I haven’t tried it yet because I worried about bricking my tablet and not being able to fix it since it won’t connect to a computer.
Any response, opinion, recommendation, experience would be greatly appreciated.

I am not sure that will work. It worked when you had 8.6.5.X because it was upgrading to a "newer" version that is 8.6.6.X (for the TF101G).
Now you are on a 9.X, so it most likely will not work.
Have you tried APX mode? I used that to root from the .27 firmware without having to downgrade. Turn off your tablet, hold VOL UP and then press the POWER button for about 3 seconds. The screen will be black, but when you plug it into a computer it should be detected.
If it does work, use EasyFlasher and install a custom recovery (HIGHLY recommend TWRP over CWM).

Thanks for the reply. I did try APX mode but I would get a message on both computers I tried stating the device was unrecognizable. I then tried to load the drivers but it still didn't work on either computer.

I guess you could try the other method. Since it is using stock recovery there is very little chance of bricking IMO. It will either install the older firmware, or it will not.

Just curious, did you reboot your PC after you installed/uninstalled the drivers?
I had this same problem once. What I did was pulled up Device Mgr and checked for APX drivers. If there was some, I uninstalled and Rebooted the PC. I downloaded these Universal Naked Drivers and saved them where I knew where they would be. I left the Device Mgr open and booted into APX mode. It asked to install drivers. I said yes and it failed. I then pointed it to the Naked Drivers and and it found them pretty easily. Once I saw APX pop up in Device Mgr, I was good to go. I then used EasyFlasher to flash back to .27 with Root. The link in the EasyFlasher OP for stock firmware is off for some reason. I posted the direct link near the last pages. Here it is.

You don't /need/ adb to root it this way, all you need is a terminal interface on your tablet. If you can download and unpack the zip file containing the blob for whatever recovery you wanna use, then link the mmcblk0p4 to tmp, you should be able to be good to go after a dd and reboot.
--edit--
start here: Instructions - Method 2 - UnRooted
then replace step two with "download terminal emulator from the play store"
then replace step three with 'open terminal emulator'
continue with the rest of the tut, using whatever recovery you want (i use Rogue XM)

I tried this and you're right it didn't install the older firmware. It looked like it was going to because the status bar was moving at the bottom, but after a few minutes it went to an android laying down with his guts open and a exclamation mark above him.

I think I've tried this. I have a terminal emulator installed and I followed some instructions about entering things like this in but I think I got a message stating access denied. But I'll try it again tonight and reply back with the results.

This weekend I tried to install the drivers again. I first went through the control panel and device manager and deleted anything that said android and asus, then rebooted my computer. I then tried to install PDANet because I read that it'll install the drivers needed and if you're having a problem it's an easy way to install them. During the PDANet install it told me to plug my transformer in to load the drivers. When I did it said it was installing new drivers but then it said they didn't install. My transformer came up as an unknown device in device manager.
I then went through and deleted the unknown device and checked in the control panel again, then rebooted my computer. I then put my tablet in APX mode to try and get it to load the drivers. Again it didn't install them and my transformer came up as an unknown device. I deleted the unknown device agian, rebooted, and went to ASUS website and installed ASUS Sync. When it finished I rebooted and then started ASUS Sync. Again when I connected my transformer to my computer it said it was loading the drivers, then it failed, and the computer showed my transformer as an unknown device. ASUS Sync also stated there was no device connected to it.
All the reading I've been doing, it seems like there are some other people experiencing the same issues I am, and I haven't seen where anybody has posted a solution. If anybody has any input please let me know.

I think I'm getting closer. I downloaded WLanAdb from the play store and followed the directions and downloaded the needed files to my computer. In the command prompt I type "WLanAdbTerminal devices" and my tablet will show in the list of devices. But WLanAdb is only setup to except a few commands, the main purpose of the app is for pushing files. It was the only wireless ADB app that I could find that didn't require root.
I then found SSHDroid in the play market and I downloaded putty to my computer. I connect to my computer using that. When I type "adb devices" I get a mesage that states
daemon not running. starting it now on port 5038
daemon started successfully
List of devices attached
I then left putty and went back to the command prompt and typed "adb connect (with my ip address and port from SSHDroid)" and it said it connected to that ip address and port. I then type "adb devices" and there are no devices listed.
Again I think I'm very close to getting my tablet connected wirelessly to adb. I think there is just one simply thing I'm missing. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
I'll continue to update this thread until my tablet is rooted or I reach a dead end, so this will be a reference for anybody experiencing the same issues as me.
Thanks in advance.

[Q] Back To Stock

Afternoon guys,
Before anyone has a go at me, I've have spent about five hours looking through this forum for what I'm looking for and i've tried all the easy unroot/easy flasher/etc and got all the stock Asus rom and recovery. AND the forum search is temporarily unavailable.
So here is what I have:
ClockworkMod Recovery v5.8.3.4
Liquid Smooth Rom
I have installed the stock rom, recovery and wiped everything.
If i press the power button it loads into CWM recovery.
If i press power and down vol, it loads to the wipe data/load android screen, and which it hangs on forever,
So I guess what im asking you good people of the internet is:
A) How do I finally get rid of CWM Recovery (because even if i install another recovery it boots back to CWM), and
B) How on gods earth do I get back to stock?
Now I know people are going to be like search the forums, I have, and I've tried literally everything that everyone has posted, and clearly while it's worked for millions of other people, my tablet is retarded and doesnt want to follow the norm.
Also i am the greatest noob ever.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks

Hmmm, did you unzip the stock ROM once before flashing (it will still be a zip).
Otherwise, try using EasyFlasher and APX mode. For EasyFlasher, do not unzip the stock ROM, use it as it downloads from Asus.

When i put it in APX mode, it comes up that it is connected as Nvidia APX device.
Could this be where I'm going wrong?

Yea probably, I've never tried using NVFlash on anything other than a PC running Windows
Try updating the NVidia APX Device with these drivers
http://forum.xda-developers.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=1489867&d=1353190140
Chances are its the drivers running on the Mac that are causing the problem with the USB > VMWare > TF101
I know nothing about Mac, but I heard you can install Windows 7 almost natively using Bootcamp or something? Might be worth trying that if you can't do it in VMWare

Chances are its the drivers running on the Mac that are causing the problem with the USB > VMWare > TF101
I know nothing about Mac, but I heard you can install Windows 7 almost natively using Bootcamp or something? Might be worth trying that if you can't do it in VMWare

Great!
At least you know now you can do what you like with it firmware / ROM / Recovery wise, and always be able to return it to stock, you can't break APX mode unless you physically damage the tablet

Bricked OP7P USB Issues

Hi all,
I am have bricked my device, its in fastboot mode but wont do anything anymore.
Ive tried literally everything possible, ive read numerous manuals, seen tons of video tutorials but nothing works.
The main issue I am facing now is that MSMDownloader tool does not recognize my phone because of an Driver issue.
However, whatever I am doing I cant get the correct driver to function on my Windows 10 machine.
Whatever I do, it either does not recognize the device, or shows it as Kedacom USB Device / Android Bootloader Interface.
I have manually removed the drivers from the device manager as well as removing them manually with pnputils, it does remove the driver and then shows it as Android Device.
If i then scan the folders (whole windows is in testing mode like many manuals tell me to) it just wont install the driver and if i do that manually using pnputils it changes nothing.
The only moment it changes is when I connect to the internet and search for a driver and the old samer driver will be installed.
I have tried the OnePlus driver installer, I have tried the All In One tool, I tried the Qualcomm QDLoader HS USB Driver, I tried it totally disconnected, i rechecked if i was running cmd and the msmdownload tool as administrator, i have rebooted and updated my pc, rebooted and tried again.
I am pretty sure its an driver issue, but apparently whatever I do i cant seem to be able to fix it, and another way of fixing this phone is probably not gonna work as whatever I do with the volume, power buttons, how many times i reboot i just keep getting the same Fastboot/Download screen.
Does anyone have any other idea, am i missing something? I really have no idea. I have followed several manuals step by step, googled and found people with similar issues tried those solutions, i am now busy for like over 12 hours and am really getting the idea that i cant fix it
