[Q] LG G2X 2.3.3 Root / ROM Troubles - General Questions and Answers

Ok, well I've read every thread I can find and have attempted many things to get this resolved with no luck. I have a G2X which I made a full backup of using CWMod before sending it back to LG for repair. It came back with 2.3.3 (I had 2.2 before). Now, I can't root because the Super One Click doesn't work and I can't get CWMod to work to enable me to restore the old ROM (or one of the new rooted ones provided here on XDA for just this purpose). When I reboot the phone with the power and volume-down buttons held, it boots into the "new phone" mode, not a recovery console that I was expecting so I could restore from ROM. So how do I restore from ROM when the CWMod doesn't run properly (because it needs root privileges)? I really just want to drop that 2.2 ROM back on my phone with all my apps, saved stuff, etc. Help anyone?

did you try the latest One Click NVFlasher for CWM 5.0.2.0 method?
are you still able to get to the "Please wait S/W update" screen?

Trying this now... fingers crossed...
Thanks!

How did you get windows to recognize the APX driver once you plugged in your 2.3.3 based G2x? Ever since I bought my G2x preloaded with gingerbread, the new APX driver request installation does not even pop up. Is there another way to force install the APX driver without having to wait for windows to recognize it, go into device manager, manually locate folder with drivers, etc... ?

Hi, I do not think there is a way to do it other thanthe manual installation. Also I have gotten CWM with the NVFlash method then rooted using update.zip but after this any Tom I flash just bootloops :/ anyone know what I'm doing wrong?

Second enter boot loader mode 3 colours by pressing the com button on the left side of the device, wait.
1. Install the original rom
2. Do a update rom use pda MOBIZ STEP 2 update rom file wait...
3. After do a hard spl G3 or G4 depends on your device.
4. Wait until the device enters again into boot loader mode.

OK, my problem is bigger than this. I can get to the CMONEX page but no further; just hangs there. ALSO, active sync won't connect; tries to but gives up.
The problem? I installed a custom ROM off ppcgeeks.com; it seemed to work well, then it started doing funny things, like not allowing me to access pages; giving me errors messages, etc. I did a soft reset; it hung on the 1st page showing Touch Diamond. Also, won't sync. Did a hard reset (the only way that works for me is to soft reset, quickly press power + vol down while flipping the phone over until the Cmonex page comes up).
Phone hangs there; can't sync it with PC (xppro) anymore (no problems before).
QUESTION: is my phone effed?

Bricked Evolio EvoTab Fun, A10 Boxchip ( Allwinner ) ; pushed wrong recovery

I've got an Evolio EvoTab Fun ( 1GHz Allwinner( Boxchip) A10 proccessor, HDMI out, microsd slot, microUsb port; which I tried to root and managed to do so successfully.
The problem arised when I tried to push a couple of different recoveries, so I can make a full rom dump. First I pushed a recovery for the Allview AllDro Speed , which didn't work, except for booting into it. Anything you tried to do got you stuck.
Next I pushed a Nexus 7 recovery ( Yes, I know. Very stupid of me. ) and now the tablet doesn't start.
If I leave it a while for the battery to discharge completely, when I plug it into the charger, it gives me the charging animation, and if I press the On button, the backlight comes on, but that's all, if I press the On button again, it just shuts down and won't respond to any button, not even the charging animation when plugged in. I have a system dump, but I can't get it recognized by adb ( ubuntu ).
Can someone please help me ?

Hi there,
I share your pain.
However, there is a way to recover it.
option 1.
If in Romania, send it to Evolio service (see www.evolio.ro). They can reflash it under warranty, or if this does not apply, it will cost you 50Ron (~10E) to do it AND you get back under warranty, if any remained.
option 2.
Download LiveSuit application (v1.07, just google it) and a modified .img file for alldro speed S tablet from http://www.filehost.ro/29137289/Evotab_Fun_4_0_4_ES_v2_img/
Note: this image was not made by me, it was made by user eugen_secuiu from the ALLVIEW ALLDRO PRODUCTS FORUM.
In my case i could not activate the wireless and had to re-flash the official image under warranty.
Hope you get it back to a working state.
If you got another solution meanwhile please share
Regards.
Thanks a lot.
Nu mă aşteptam să-mi răspundă chiar un român.
I'll try reflashing with the LiveSuit app.
LE: Had a hard time figuring out what drivers to install ( Installed Bootloader drivers ) LiveSuit says no device found. couldn't jump to update mode.
Could you explain more on a step-by-step basis please?

O stingi, ții apăsat pe Vol Down, bagi cablul în ea și după ce bagi cablul ( continui să ții apăsat pe Vol Down ) începi și apeși de vreo 20 de ori Power, nu o să se vadă nimic pe ecran, dar o să o recunoască calculatorul. O să fac un tutorial zilele astea.

Does anyone here know how to get recovery mode on Evotab 3?
Hi there!
Unfortunately the only possible recovery for a Evolio tablet is getting rid of the piece of ...
I gave mine away, for free, and moved to something better documented and supported by the dev community (mt6577 cpu).
Evolio makes appliances, like a fridge or cofee maker, not Open-source developement driven tablets...i sincerely have a lot more customization options on my 20yo motorcycle then i ever had on their product.
At 5 year warranty they officially announce there will be no updates for it AND refuse to supply the original ROM. img... plus the bullsh.t reasons like: it's not compatible with JB or my favourite "we don't supply the original installation image because we don't want you to break your tablet" :banghead:
... i'll buy another Evolio tablet when they'll come as cereal boxes gifts

Hey,
Please answer as much as possible:
1) Can you see the LG logo ? (when starting up. Try on full charge)
2) Can you get to the download mode ?
3) did you download the kdz file ? (follow http://www.lg-phones.org/how-to-flash-unbrick-lg-g-pro-2-with-a-kdz-firmware.html
4) if you can install using kdz method it will be much easier as the software does all the work . So install all the tools mentioned in the site and see if it can detect the phone.
All the best :good:
EDIT:
Step 1: Enter Download mode (You should be able to enter by pressing Volume Up + Power key. hold for 15seconds)
Step 2: Download kdz file for your model
Step 3 Use LG Flash Tool 2014 (Works 100%)

Question Samsung TAB A Wont go into recovery mode or download OR even get into the actual tablet

As title says, i tried to flash an official stock firmware to this device as it was running a demo OS on an old android version and wanted to remove the demo from the bootloader. When flashing with ODIN odin crashed and when trying to turn the device back on i just get a black screen.
When i hold power and vol down it will show the boot screen then go to a blue screen for about 1second that quickly says Installing update. with the android logo, then it just goes black as if its powered off. I try to enter recovery, does the same, try to go to download mode does the same, cant enter either it just boots off and goes to a black screen after seeing that blue screen.

Live demo units are not meant to function as normal devices. Most if not all demo units in the open market are stolen/thrown away and missing the cellular modem (meaning no baseband or imei) or have no antennas.
They are locked down (by samsung in your case) for very obvious reasons and as such you won't be getting much help from xda members.
Your only option is to open up that device and replace the mobo with another one (you have all the hardware except an appropriate motherboard). Good luck

Yeah that makes sense i guess. But yeah i work in retail and they were going to be thrown away, old demo units that got lost within the stockfile samsung, lenovos, etc., half of them got thrown away some were smashed etc. and i took the other hoping to just use it for my broithers kid its no big deal since it cost nothing was just wondering if there was a workaround to it. since this never happened to me before
