Like many others my G2x was semi-bricked while attempting to upgrade to GB via the LG upgrade tool....
I have since successfully upgraded to GB and "unbricked" my device using the KDZ flasher and V21e.
Being a noob to rooting and the such I have no idea if I can now safely root using one of the many provided methods on this site.
Please advise.
Also apologies if this has been discussed, I searched and could not find any similar circumstances
thanks in advance

Following these 4 steps will return your phone to factory condition.
If any step failed for you:
You probably didn't follow the directions exactly.
You probably have a bad USB Cable.
You probably have an over loaded USB chipset/hub in your PC. Try another PC.

UnRooting a G2x that is fully stock - Only Rooted
I'm trying to unroot my stock G2x so I can mail it back to T-Mo any ideas on how. The SuperOneClick does not give me the option to unroot.
Thanks in advance!

Don't remember the version but there is one of the oneclickroot that only unroots and allows non market apps. Doesn't have unroot method on it.

Many thanks for compiling your other very handy threads into one.
The only snag I ran into was simple user error, I had my sensation and atrix both plugged in and in usb debugging mode when I hit the unroot button o__O

Hi, I just wanted to ask for clarification: I recently bought my g2x a few days ago with stock 2.2, and upgraded to 2.3.3 via the lg update tool. Will this method allow me to downgrade by flashing stock? Sorry if it was asked before..I'm totally new to this and don't want to accidentally brick my g2x by doing something stupid.
will this work on gb
will this return everything includung base band back to stock?/?????
Looks like no one wants to answer... Can we downgrade from 2.3.3 to 2.2, both being stock?

If you have clockworkmod recovery, then yes.

This method works great! Thanks!
Not sure which is the best stock ROM here. Rooted my coworkers SK and flashed a stock ROM from Revolution, but it keeps hanging at the start screen. Can someone tell me how to get into recovery manually on this phone as well? Any help is much appreciated.
You flashed the ROM wrong & my ROM was wrongly built , ODIN back by using Ayoteddy's KG2 thread .

Thanks for the quick reply. I don't know how the SK works I'm used to my EVO 3D mostly. Will check it out in a few. And what's ODIN?
It's a program that restore's your phone back to factory .

you can not root the gingerbread update.

xboarder has a rom that is stock 2.3.3 update with just root
but there is a new one that is based off the gb update called weapon g2x , it is the fasted i have seen thus far and it is prerooted.

Download the battery saver and click on root tool I guess (only because I don't remember what it was called exactly)
After finding that program it took just a couple minutes for me

If all you want is try out new ROMs, no need to root. Follow the instructions for NVFlash (search the Dev thread).

Did you remember to Wipe before installing CM7? Wait, how'd you install the ROM? Did you flash ClockWorkMod using NVFlash or Rom Manager? Please tell me you didn't use Rom Manager.

You need to use nvflash to install clock work, then flash stuff.

Try searching. All your questions have been answered many times. With a simple search you could have had all your answers instead of waiting. BTW, many people don't reply to threads like this as they are tired of people asking questions that can be answered by searching first.
ilovebeerdanny: as a fellow newcomer I can share my experience which is that this community is super cool and filled with people who will help you out but no-one here is going to hold your hand. You're much more likely to get help if people see you've done your homework first.
When reading answers to your question pay attention to who's giving them. There's a reason members like jboxer and FatalityBoyZahy have high Thanks meters.
Welcome to the forum and have fun.
Thanks dude I figured it out

Hey all, I'm trying to flash an old p500h back to the stock Telus ROM (2.2 preferred) but all the links I can find are dead. Does anybody have a link they could share? If not, I guess I'll just flash a (hopefully) stable 2.3 ROM from somewhere in the forums.
Thanks!
