Was having trouble with mine as well. During the root process when it hangs in superone click root try disabling debugging on the phone and then re-enabling. Thats what did it for me, good luck!
If you are having trouble rooting your g2x please visit the corresponding threads, please let this one die peacefully

No the rom is on its way, we just need some more donation/chip in for the dev team, check the infuse development page channel, you can chip in so we don't need to wait more time. Welcome on the android community. If you have question just ask they are willing to help. Jeep checking the site everyday. So you can learn more thing about android, I learned so much thing here I'm also new to android.

[Q] Backed up ROM on Vibrant 3G installed on Vibrant 4G?

My husband has a Samsung Vibrant 3G, I rooted it and installed MIUI-NB_1.12.2_signed a few days ago and he really likes it. He just bought a used Samsung Vibrant 4G with the FFC on Craigslist today. Our question is if I make a ROM Manager backup of the current ROM on the 3G, can I install it on the 4G or is the hardware so different that it is impossible? Thanks for any feedback !!
Vibrant ain't sgs4g. Vibrant roms (nitpickers) brick sgs4g, ROM manager shouldn't allow flash work on sgs4g... ROM manager issue with sgs4g too.
Treat both phones/roms separately...

Thanks !!
ok, off I go to root and install a fresh copy THANKS !!
Good luck with that no miui here...

You did the right thing by asking first. If you need more help just go ahead and ask in this thread, plenty of people willing to help others who ask the right questions.
OK, we have decided to leave the OS virgin for now, no root and no custom ROM Maybe later we'll root at least. Thanks for the feedback and keep up the GREAT WORK !!

So I know for future reference, what is the easiest and best application to root the 4G? I have quite a few downloaded when I rooted my husband's Vibrant 3G, such as SuperOneClick and Galaxy S One Click Root All Models. Which one do you recommend?
Depends if your on froyo or GB
Sent from my SGH-T959V using XDA App
It's Froyo 2.2.1 It's probably a much better thing than being on Gingerbread to root, right? It's a PAIN in the badonkadonk to downgrade via ADB, been there done that twice with the MyTouch 4G's Successfully too, it was a huge learning curve though LOL
Eh it's the same really.just the method differ. For froyo you can find super one click 1.9 and use the PS nueter (sp?) Option just like you did with the vibrant.
are you planning on cwm recovery?
Sent from my SGH-T959V using XDA App
yes, I know CWM pretty well since I started rooting MyTouch 4G's a couple of months ago, I find it easy to use and never had any problems on those particular phones. But then, the MyTouch 4G's are HTC phones, this is a Samsung and a completely different kind of breed If you have anything better and safer for rooting the Samsung Galaxy S 4G's, I'm all ears
You could hit the GB upgrade, root, and cwm all in one flash with my one click guide http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1422824
Sent from my SGH-T959V using XDA App
Tell him it's ok that his phone isn't as good as yours/ours. Just once for me
If you decide on updating, 2.3.6 version is really smooth. There's a few ROMs around, just read up and follow any/all directions.

Seriously dude you need to chill, or you can politely ask a mod to move it to q&a. This rudeness is not constructive nor is it helpful to anyone.

Hey guys, shoild i use voodoo lagfix
And how to install only the lagfix NOT with thw kernel
Sent from my SGH-T959V using xda premium
voodoo lagfix will convert your file system to ext4 and make your phone faster. It is built into the kernel though, so there is no way to install it without installing the custom kernel that includes it.
Not sure what you mean by thw kernel, but most custom kernels that include voodoo lagfix also include cwm recovery.
So what's the risk of flashing a kernel

If its a kernel for this phone, there really isnt any risk.

Can i flash a kernel with cwm5 and lagfix with this app? Like this kernel http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=21487855
Sent from my SGH-T959V using xda premium
Aslong as you are on Gingerbread, you can use Kernel flasher to flash that kernel. That would be the recommend kernel, if not the only one really.
tnx bros
