Pretty simple root method.
1. Download SuperOneClick found at http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=803682
2. Once installed click rage option then Root.
The rage option is if you look on the right of SuperOneClick you will see Exploit and there you will see rageagainstthecage option there. This could be just an SuperOneClick 1.7 option. If you don't see it either upgrade or using just the root button should work.
If it is frozen at waiting for device you will need to install the samsung drivers found at http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=728929
If all goes well you should be rooted. Pretty simple wasn't?
At this time ClockworkMod nor RecoveryManager work so please don't ask about them. When they get updated we will post it.

true, however that thread doesn't have the links needed to do the root in the OP, so actually this thread is better for those looking to root without the need to go searching throughout the thread.
also when i rooted my device there wasn't a "rage" option for me to choose. i just clicked on root and everything went fine.
They can delete my thread if they want, it's not that big of a deal.
INCORRECT!!!
I did not have to use rage against the cage, i just did default exploit in superoneclick and everything went perfectly!

I also don't know what this Rage option is. I did shell root for temp root and then perm root via the root button on SuperOneClick 1.6.5
The rage option is if you look on the right of SuperOneClick you will see Exploit and there you will see rageagainstthecage option there. This could be just an SuperOneClick 1.7 option. Will update main post.

Open super one click, make sure your phone is in debugging. Connect it to the computer. Select rageagainstthecage and click unroot.
It will unroot the phone.

I get an error message saying that it can't find the file specified. This is my first time rooting a phone and i have no idea what i am doing. I looked at the other thread and tried using the rage thing. Nothing is working.
I connected my phone via usb. Put it in mass storage, as opposed to Media Player or the Kies option.
Not sure where to even begin.
Dont put mass storage. Just leave it charging while having usb debugging.
Just tried that. Saying the same thing. I turn on debugging, connect the device via USB, open SuperOneClick, hit root, and it bring up the same thing.
Saying the system cannot find the file specified.
I just got the phone today and haven't done anything else to it, or added any apps to it or anything. Is there something i need to put on the phone or no?
all right thanks man ill try it out see if it works

0. Have fastboot working and phone drivers installed on your windows computer.
1. Download ClockworkMod Recovery image from the Clockwork thread in the dev section. Save in sdk tools folder.
2. Download SuperUser flashable zip.
3. Put phone in fastboot mode and plug in to computer USB and open command prompt.
3. "fastboot oem unlock"
4. "fastboot flash recovery c:\android-sdk\tools\recovery-clockwork-3.0.2.4-crespo.img"
5. go into recovery

7. copy SuperUser flashable zip to phone.
8. flash it.
9. Boot. Rooted. Done.
*If you want to keep CWM Recovery continue here:*
10. Use Root Explorer to rename file /etc/install-recovery.sh as /etc/install-recovery.sh.bak
11. go into fastboot mode
12. do step 4 above
13. boot phone. done. rooted and CWM is permanently installed.

Thanks for your reply
Can you explain what you mean by make sure you have fastboot working and the phone drivers?
where can i get these?
Sure I thought you just wanted a general outline.
For fastboot, you need to install Android SDK Tools.
For drivers, put phone in fastboot, then install PDA Net, and connect your phone when prompted.
Aha sorry im really new to this stuff, is there any guide or sticky with all this stuff so i don't have to keep aasking questions about this?

The easiest way to install drivers is to install PDA net while phone is plugged in to computer in fastboot mode. It will automatically install the appropriate drivers for you.

Works on 2.3.4 too!
Best way to keep apps+data before first unlock+root?
First, thanks to everyone helping to give very clear instructions for unlocking bootloader + rooting. Just one small topic that nobody is touching...
I have a fully stock and locked 2.3.4. I want to root my phone BUT I would like to know if there are any suggestions on how to keep, restore, or simply just not lose so much of the data currently on my phone. I have thought of a backup, but that seems to be impossible without rooting, but rooting seems to wipe the data I wish to backup...
Do you just have to bite the bullet the first time you unlock+root and just deal with getting your phone wiped? Or is there a better way that includes some sort of backup and restore?
Thanks

There are is a way to root the phone without unlocking the bootloader, but if something happens later on...you will probably have to unlock the bootloader to fix it. I have only read of this option and have never actually seen how or done it myself.
So, the best option is to just use FASTBOOT like the others have suggested and unlock the bootloader first. It WILL wipe when you do it, but you only have to do this once! If you would like to back up your phone first you are kinda out of luck. Though, anything important you need can be backed up on your computer first. As far as apps and such...I never really saw losing them as a big problem. It gives you something to do for the next 20 mintues after install. LOL... All your purchased ones will still be paid for you will just need to download and set them up again.
If you get to the point of flashing a ROM after installing fastboot. I still think the best way is to just download one of the Nandroids available in the DEV section. Then once into recovery, just RESTORE the Nandroid. I used the Nandroid(rooted)2.3.4 in that section. It rooted it for me and saved a few steps after flashing RECOVERY on your phone.
So yes, you might as well go ahead with unlocking the Bootloader and wiping your phone. This will only need to be done once, and you will be good to go.

The first problem I see is the thread you referenced here is for the O2x, not the G2x. You need too confirm which phone you have. The G2x is LG P-999, while the O2x is LG P-990.

How is saying something is unhelpful, disrespectful? I merely specified what I was looking for, after not getting any actual help from neglecting to do so previously.
Allow me to reiterate my problem:
I have an T-Mobile LG Gx2 with GB 2.3.4 installed. To my knowledge, SuperOneClick, NVFlash, and GingerBreak have no effect on 2.3.4. Also to my knowledge, there are a handfull of people in my same situation who also have the same problem (on a YouTube tutorial on how to root the LG Gx2 specifically, which only shows 2.3.3 installed).
To me, there seems to be an impassable obstacle here, and I was hoping to find some help. What I found was non-help, which I explained.
So, I respectfully request help on this issue; how am I to get around this seemingly impassable obstacle? If you have the know-how, please explain it intimately, as I am still learning how to do these things (I have upgraded my T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S Vibrant SGH-T959 to CM10, but I have yet to come across any problem like this before).

Seriously? perhaps you're just the worst noob ever. You says you used something you find in the forum for a DIFFERENT phone. We can't help you if we're giving you instructions for the wrong phone, so confirming the phone is a very important step. Also, if you would try just a little bit of searching you would find countless tutorials for noobs on this site.
I can personally confirm nvflash works on 2.3.4. Nvflash does not depend on the ROM in any way, shape, or form.
And if you want to install any custom ROMs on this phone, nvflash is pretty much a must. Follow the instructions verbatim and you should be fine.
And try not insulting people who have been here for a while and are trying to help you, because you might not get much help after that

Chainfire released CF-Auto-Root ,CF-Auto-Root can be thought of as “root for rooting beginners,” as well as those who want to stay as close to stock as possible while enjoying the sweet, root-enabled goods.
CF-Auto-Root for the Nexus 5 supports Windows, Linux, and Mac, and turns the whole rooting process into an incredibly simple process. All you have to do is download the zip from the thread and extract it, boot your device into fastboot (power off, then VolUp+VolDown+Power), connect via USB, run a command on your host computer, and follow the on-screen prompts on your device and PC.:good:
And....You never learn fastboot commands and when you get into real trouble you're at a lost and it makes it real difficult for someone to try and help you

Because root opens up the door for you to screw things up. Recovery allows you to do backups so you can recover from these screw ups.
