please can someone help me
have you downloaded lgdriver before the initial super one clicking? the steps for rooting are labeled in detail if you Google root g2x and find the xda forum I your search results.
I unroot by nvidia flashing stock rom using the app nvflash.
please state whether you rooted following the steps on xda or if you tried rooting without nvflash

hey guys i need help.
to update with lg updater it has to be with windows pc?
i didnt have the ota cause i've been rooted but i really need to update my baseband i am on mac. i used to have cracked windows but ever since i update to lion ox i lost it.
oh and is there a driver for this phone and a way to flash CWM with a mac?
oh another thing i saw on a threat long ago about a dialer code for the ota but cant find it
Haven't found anything in the way of mac drivers, sorry.
Your best bet is to borrow a friend's xp pc, or visit their house or something.
It shouldn't take you more than half hour to install the update and then flash CWM anyway so it doesn't even have to be a long visit.
Are you stock right now? Haven't been able to install CWM etc...?

No I'm not stuck. Its just I never updated my phone with the official gb
And need to update with it so I can update the baseband.
That's all.
Yeah man I definitely recommend the updated baseband my GPS is awesome ever since I updated.
Definitely get yourself to a WinXP machine though cuz the updater tool seems to be picky with that.
Plus you don't even need to unroot or revert to stock recovery either. Matter fact I was running Eagle's Blood Froyo with CWM when I updated mine and it worked without a hitch took about 20 mins.

Cool. Do you have to flash recovery again after the update?
question
now gingerbread 2.3.3 is an operating system correct?
or is it also considered a rom?
and are basebands different for each rom?
and what exactly is sdk?
i apologize if these questions are placed in wrong section but i been reading the thread and am very new and would like to know alot more.
also i just got new g2x today and have installed the clorkwork recovery now there
is a said method to install rom with no sd card as new phones dont have one.
Amon_RA recover with adb
is it recomended and as currently with clockwork installed am i techincally rooted??
so when i originally got the charge from my father in law he already had it rooted so i did not have to deal with researching it then.. but .... while i am a flashaholic.. i flashed a few roms and somehow got it to boot into the android stock recovery the one with the blue highlights and had a code below or above it now sure... my Question is as follows: what could have caused this to happen in the first place i have always been on the voodoo cmw with lagfix i flashed a rom and all of the sudden it went to a orange cwm flashed a new rom rebooted and got the android stock recovery what could have caused this??? i heard it was something to do with /data but not sure exactly what the means...
next what is the easiest way to root this thing i have my replacement coming today and thinking about rooting but i am not sure cause i don't want to have to go through this crap again.... is it dummy proof can something go wrong is the real question thanks guys sorry for the long a... post ....
The stock kernel overwrites the recovery to stock. when you flash cwm on a stock ROM, the first boot must be into recovery so you can flash a new kernel.

Due to being a relative newb to Android, I have no idea what caused your problem.
But, to reroot just follow the step by step tutorial for flashing a ROM that is stickied in the forum ( http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1160580 ), it's even got pictures, you can't go wrong.(maybe if you don't follow the instructions you could, also choose a ROM that is rooted, I've been on Humble 4.5 and Gummy 2.1, both are rooted)
bfitzpatrickd2d,
Anything and everything can go wrong at anytime with any electronic device you are moding or rooting. By rooting you are changing the operating system of a computer. It is just the same as using a custom version of say windows or mac on your computer... there are always risks, things you may have to tweak that others did not, and little steps that you can not miss.
That being said... feel free to check out my series of videos on how to root, backup and ROM the Charge. My root video is old, but still works just fine.
Let me know if you need help.

thanks man probably root tomorrow but I noticed in one of the threads on how to root does not mention anything about flashing a kernal with the stock rom in the instructions???

There are several different version of the stock Rom. I think you would have to be rooted and you could be on the stock Rom and just flash in cww. Select zip of the kernel you want and good to go.
I have just updated to ics on my sgs2 via kies,was previosly running rooted g,bread 2.3.5(ORANGE).I obviosly lost root after update! Anyway just tried to root using cf-root on odin,and it said sucsess after flashing but my phone w'ont boot up now,the only thing It can do is get back into download mode. My stock kernal is BVLPB(Orange branded) I did use a matching cf-root kernal.
Can anyone PLEASE help me totally gutted......
I actually stumbled into the same situation as you when I was rooting my friend's sg2. I used this thread to get me out of code red: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1342348. It worked on my second try.
