I'm considering rooting my G2x. I've downloaded Super One Click v2.3.3 and have installed the t-mobile driver.
So, I simply need to plug my phone into my computer and open SOC and click 'Root"???
What can I expect after rooting, if it works? Will I need to install a rom? Which I believe is more-or-less an operating system? If so, where do I get one?
Will there anything left on the phone?
If I need, say, an app for my contacts how will I install it on the phone?
Any help will be appreciated. I've never done this before.

You can gain access to apps that need root you can flash ROMs which the best thing and after you root your device if you didnt do a full wipe (factory reset) everything should be the same. but here is a tip back up your currwnt ROM because youll need it in case you want to get baxk to stock ROM or if a ROM you flashed didnt wprk

I don't quite understand. I thought rooting removes most things form your phone.
What is the flash rom? And how do I back up my current rom?
I've rooted the phone, I believe. I have a new app called 'Super User'. When I tab 'Super User' it only lists 'ROM Manager' which I installed. But now I'm totally lost. What would be my next step? I don't seem to have any more permissions to do anything than I did before.

Flashing ROM is like changing the OS version you do it after you install a Custom recovery like ClockWork Mod (CWM) you can install it using ROM Manager by clicking on flash recovery
You access the recovery menu by turning off your device then holding down the power/lock key for like 10 second untill you get two icons thr download and recovery you choose the recovery and navigate through the recovery menus using the volume up and down buttons and the power key to click on an option.
For back up you get down to back up and restore then click the power/lock to open it then choose back up and click on it now wait till the back up is done of you want to restore it click on restore instead of back up

Install Titanium Backup, backup apps, uninstall bloatware.
Anything you want! There are many apps that do things but require root on the Market, so just search around!

I turned off the device then held the power/lock but the device booted normally. Now, though, when I tap ROM manager it brings up a list of what I believe are ROMs. The title bar reads "Download ROM". Should I try to bring up the recovery menu again??
I want to thank you for this assistance. I am learning.
James
Not sure what happened.
In ROM manager I chose boot to recovery or whatever that is. Now it seems to be stuck on the Android system recovery utility. I'm able to move the selection at the top betweene:
'reboot system now'
'apply sdcard:update.zip'
'wipe date/factory reset' and
'wipe cache partition'
Nothing happens when I'm on reboot system now and press the Power/Lock button .
Also on the screen:
'Finding update package...'
'Opening update package...'
'E:Can't open /cache/updatye.zip (bad)'
'Installation aborted.'
'Formatting MISC:...
It's been like this for the past 5 minutes.
Any suggestions?
James

Yes I did remove the battery and it booted.
The fact the the installation aborted isn't a problem, it's normal?
Also, I see no option that you speak of.
The only options I see are:
'reboot system now'
'apply sdcard:update.zip'
'wipe date/factory reset' and
'wipe cache partition'
I mean on the ROM Manager App the first option is flash CMW

I don;t see that option either in the ROM Manager app.
Do I need to buy Buy Premium for this option to be there?

Ok. I see backup and restore in the recovery menu. When now?
I've already backup the system when I tried to install a new rom but the rom didn't isntal but my system backup on the reboot.
I'm missing something.

Did you download a ROM that is made for your device ? And you install a ROM by going to 'install Zip from SD Card' then you navigate to the file you have your ROM in and you should do a full wipe if the ROM require to (factory reset and wipe cache partition) if you do so all the data on your device will be deleted (like apps and phone numbers....) but not if the data is on your SDCard, but again make sure the ROM is for your device example if you have i9100 SGS II download a ROM for i9100 SGS II not any other device

I see what you mean now. There are footnotes below the rom.
I'm going to conitue this in the morn. My brain hurts.

I finally installed a rom. I then tried to install another. Cynger, or something like that. It went through the process of installing but now when it boots it gets to LG and stops. I need to take the battteryb ou but upn putting the battery back in the same thinng happens.
It won't boot!
I tired only 2 roms and I've already bricked this thing???
then go back to recovery and restore your backed up ROM (and you have to wait for like 30 minutes sometimes for it to boot)

after I flash CWM 6.0.1.2, if I reboot into recovery, the phone goes into Android system recovery. Why is that?
In order to go back to CWM Recovery, I have to go to ROM Manager, flash CWM 6.0.1.2 again, and then reboot into recovery. Once I am in CWM and need to exit (reboot), I get asked the following:
"ROM may flash stock recovery on boot. Fix?"
Yes - Disable recovery flash.
Should I click yes so the phone does not go into Android system recovery? there is a message that says this cannot be undone so I do not want to do something that may screw up my phone.
I am on stock but rooted, of course. Thanks.
Same thing happens to me. Even if I use twrp or cwm touch

You can flash any ROM any time. Make sure you do a factory reset. For better results, boot into cwm recovery and perform the following.
Factory reset
Go to mounts & storage. Format /system, /boot
Flash ROM, gapps
Flash kernel (optional)

Do you mean that as long as I do the CWM reset and everything, I can downgrade from 4.2.1 to 2.3?

Yes you can. But do you really want 2.3?I wouldn't do that even in dreams. I may go back to 4.1.2. Nothing before that.

You need to do a factory reset, wipe Cache, and dalvik. Then flash the ROM. The Aroma Installer for the ROM also gives you the option to wipe cache and dalvik during the install. I do both. It doesn't hurt anything to do the double wipe.
Just make sure that you DO NOT chose the wipe data option on the opening screen of TRWP. You'll end up with a brick.

what do you mean by wipe in twrp launch
maybe you talk about wipe data in bootloader menu (with rck etc..)

That's correct. DO NOT SELECT WIPE DATA ON THE FIRST SCREEN OF TWRP RECOVERY.

Did you do a full system wipe with the advanced wipe options to format your system and data partitions before flashing your ROM?

Boot to recovery, if you have TWRP, select the "wipe" option, then select "advanced wipe", then select your system partition and your data partition(do not select any other partition), then swipe the slider to wipe, then go back to main screen in TWRP and select "install" and flash your ROM like you normally would, after it flashes wipe cache and dalvik then reboot and see what happens.
