I may be wrong but I'm pretty sure you can't root on 2.3....... you need to downgrade to froyo 2.2

If you're saying the instructions exactly as you did, then it doesn't sound like you installed the drivers before using NVflash.
You're right about pressing both the up and down volume buttons (Even though you didn't even state that, just that you pressed up and down, on what I imagine.) but you do that first to allow your computer to detect the phone. Once your computer can detect your phone, then NVflash can.

It can't detect phone because you have not installed drivers on pc, just like anything else you install on windows, printer, vg card, it needs drivers, g2x is not plug n play.

In the directory where you unzipeed NVFlash is an APX directory. After you connect the phone to the computer you need to go to Device Manager (assuming Windows here) and you will see the APX device with an explanation mark. That is because Windows doesn't know where the driver's .inf file is. While still holding the volume keys right click on that device and select "reinstall drivers." Then say I will select location and browse to the APX directory and tell Windows to install the drivers. When Windows warns you the drivers are not signed click on YES to continue the installation. Now that the driver is installed let go of the keys, unplug the phone and give your fingers a rest. When your fingers are ready repeat the process to connect the phone to your computer and now NVFlash can see it.

[Q] Trying one-click root, keep getting 'cannot locate device' at command screen.

ok, trying to install one-click root on my Epic, i have up-to-date drivers installed, USB debugging is checked, my computer gives me the option to mount and it reads my device. when I go to the run.bat command screen, I keep getting the message 'cannot locate device, unplug USB, re-plug and press enter.' when I do that I get 'aborting script, phone still not connected' message. can anyone point me in the right direction or tell me what I'm missing, any help would be greatly appreciated.

Try to do a battery pull on the phone and try that. If that does not work, do a battery pull and reset your computer and see if that helps.
Not sure what OS you are running but the best thing is to do on Win XP.

Can you tell us the complete verbage of the error? I ran into a problem because I did not LITTERALLY UNZIP the rar file before running it. Kept saying the phone was not connected..but when I looked closer it was failing because the bat file was trying to run a piece of the program and for some reason it was failing on it. COMPLETELY AND LITTERALLY unzipped the rar to my computer and then ran it (making sure the phone was connected and in usb debug mode) and was rooted in a matter of minutes. hope this helped a little... good luck

Your computer gives you an option to mount? If you have ADB debug enabled you should see something pop up in your device manager, but I'm not so sure you should get any kind of mounting pop-up.
Make sure you have all of the correct drivers installed for your OS, and try it again running each command seperately from the batch file. Then post here which command is coming back unsuccsessful so I can pinpoint the problem better.

I am having the same problem now for an hour or so. Tried everything I can think of , tried the all in one clockwork , used a different cable....i can hear my computer make that sound when I plug the phone in , and also when I unplug it. Just trying to get clockwork on here , ive read and read and read all the threads I can find. Got good drivers , windows xp. Rebooted laptop and phone at least 20 times ...dont know what else to try

Look in your device manager on your pc while your phone is connected with usb debugging and make sure there is no question mark next to Android ADB device. It needs to recognize this driver for it to connect.
HI
Hi i had that same issue an i went to the samsung official website becaue my phone can't connect to my pc i couldn't see my sd card pop up so the guy say my phone was defective so im thinking you have the same issue as me but samsung is fixing my phone now for free an free shipping i hope you still have warranty on your epic an they flashing a new rom an software on it for me they say to fix gps an wifi issues i had too
Got it to work, it was a driver issue apparently. Downloaded drivers again, completely removed old drivers. Reboot PC, make sure phone isnt connected yet. After reboot, install drivers, reboot again. I also had my phone turned off this whole time. When PC came back up , turn phone back on, connect using one of the main USB ports, not one in the front or anything. You should see windows detect and install the software. Then I ran the all in one clockwork , and here I am now fully rooted, syndicate rom , so much better than stock...hope you get it working! I definitely almost gave up a few times

[LG Drivers] (Easy) for LGP999DW (G2X)

READ! This following tutorial will help you install ONLY the LG Drivers NOT the APX drivers needing for ClockWorkMOD..
So I was messing around with how to get the drivers working to my LG G2X.
Using this thread. [Drivers][APP] LG Mobile Support Tool / Nvidia NvFlash APX Driver for LGP999DW G2x
But I could not get it to work this way so I put in my info to the drivers and downloaded the drivers.
It gave me this file I installed it now drivers are working for me. I am now able to get into adb.
So this is a shortened process, therefore you now do NOT need to remove your battery, nor hold any buttons. Simply just install the .exe file (located below)
I don't know if it's 32bit compatible, as I am using a Windows 7 64bit. (Let me know)
Steps:
1. Download this FILE HERE (InstallScript Setup Launcher)
2. Run the .exe file.
3. After installation reboot computer (not necessary, but I did)
4. Plug in your LG G2X (make sure Mass storage only is uncheck)
There you go! Your drivers should be installed very easily without much hassle.

In order to activate NVFlash support for flashing the recovery partition of the G2x, NVIDIA APX driver has to be installed during NVFlash mode (battery out, Vol up + Vol down. If you can get those drivers to work without doing all that, you da man. Until then, this thread is just another way to install LG's drivers for ADB, SD mounting, etc.
BTW, loved your Hero ROM for the G1

the vol.up\down is to enter the nvidia recovery. the lg drivers are for your pc to see\recognize your phone and it's sdcard. and i think you need them to charge through usb. but i think that's been debunked.
Alil off topic but... MLING are you planing on doing any work for the G2x?... loved your work for the G1/MT3G..

You got the APX driver to install correctly (without having to put your phone in low level flashing mode), and tested nvflash? As well have never installed the APX driver before using the 3 button method?
Please let me know your detailed steps and testing and I will append my post for the oneclick app.
quick question... I went to my phone settings and can't see an option to uncheck mass storage... can somebody shade some light?

Well, something it is not working here...
installed your link on my pc... rebooted... then plugged my phone to pc then on my phone I pressed the *turn on storage* thing and BOOM! blue screen of death on my PC...
I had posted on the general section about my problem and I bought a new sdcard thinking the problem was my old card and it seems it is not!

running CM7?
@TGA_Gunnman yes I was running CM7.... but I used my dropbox account and downloaded eagleblood's ROM since I could not mount my sdcard....
My phone is charging, I will update tomorrow to let you know if my sdcard is now being recognized!
You know what's funny? Since my last problem with the drivers/uninstalling I now do not see the nvidia driver under device manager? I think I had erased nvflash option on my pc??? *I used your one click method when I first installed drivers and nvflash* and yes I am able to vol down + power to enter recovery on my phone.
Well, good news after reverting to eagles' rom I am successfully able to mount both my sdcard and external sdcard!!!
I hope once I change back to CM7 I am able to do so as perfect as in the eagles' rom.
BAD NEWS! and cyanogenmod you probably need to take a look at this.. I went back to cm7 and now my drivers are all messed up again or whatever it is I am not able to mount SDcard to PC once again!

G2x rooting not

i just got a g2x and i have tried rooting it which has 2.3.3 software and it is not working
tried all the ways ive read on here
is there a NEW way to do this that is more easy and simple ?
If you have clockworkmod installed, you can flash a rooted version of the official Gingerbread update.
I don't believe there's an easy way to root stock OTA using one-click root tools or anything like that.
Check the Dev page for "rooted OTA" or something similar.
Try searching and reading a bit bro, here u go. Flash recovery through nvflash then you can flash any rom.

Have you successfully flashed clockworkmod recovery to your phone? You'll know you've flashed it correctly if with your phone off you can boot into recovery by holding Volume Down + Power.

Ok that means you still have stock recovery. For now the only way to have a rooted gingerbread installation on this phone is to flash a pre-rooted version. To do that you need a custom recovery. If you wish to have rooted gingerbread on your G2X then getting clockworkmod recovery properly flashed to your phone is where you have to start. Follow the instructions in OP of this thread and you'll be ready to flash roms:

Which "one click" did you try? There is Superoneclick which is a rooting tool, and currently doesn't work for gingerbread on the G2X. There is also the one-click nvflash tool, which installs clockworkmod recovery on your phone. The nvflash tool is the one you need. Did you use that one?
G2X CM7
yes but maybe i did it wrong...i uniinstalled everything from my computer,so now im will try it again when i find all the right links
this is ridiculous!!!! tried it again with no luck
this is the hardest way to root a phone ive seen yet!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
i cant even extract the cwr or i can but nothing happens except it shows file that cant be opened
please find a easier way to root the 2.3.3 software!!!!!!!

Even if you could root your 2.3.3 rom, you'd still need to nvflash cwm recovery. It's really a very easy process. Once you have the drivers installed, it takes less than a minute to flash recovery. I'm not sure where you're getting stuck.
G2X CM7
From the thread I linked to above, you downloaded the file called One-Click-G2x-recovery-flasher-06-16.far correct? You need to Winrar to extract it. Once you extract it then you just follow the directions in the OP of that thread I linked to. I'm not sure how to make it any clearer. Every step is listed very plainly in that tutorial.

You're so close! Don't give up! My guess is its one of 4 problems:
-- APX driver is not properly installed. This is what I would check first.
This is copied from the guide I linked to earlier:
"Unlike a lot of Android phones out there the Nvidia Tegra2 chipset require additional drivers in Windows to support low level flashing.
Install APX Windows driver from APX folder.
(Windows x86 and x64 O/S Drivers): ****If you are running VmWare kill it.****
1. Remove the battery.
2. Plug in your USB cable to your PC.
3. Hold Volume Up and Volume Down at the same time keeping them held down.
4. Plug in the USB cable to your phone. (Keep the buttons held until Windows detects a new APX device.)
5. Open Device Manager in Windows and you should see "APX Device" listed with an error icon.
6. Right click on the APX device.
7. Select 'Update driver software'.
8. Select 'Browse my computer...'.
9. Select 'Let me pick...'.
10. Select 'Have disk'.
11. Browse to directory you extracted the *driver* software to: One-Click-G2x-recovery-flasher-06-16\APX.
12. Accept any warnings, including the big red alert (you may need to disable UAC).
13. Now in Device Manager under 'USB Controllers' you should have an 'NVIDIA USB Boot-recovery driver for mobile devices'.
14. If not, uninstall the driver, reboot, rinse and repeat."
-- Bad USB cable.
-- Bad USB port.

[Q] help! got a real brick, cant go APX

i've just flashed prime 1.9 mobile data ver over CWM. have to say the whole proccess ended faster then normal. after rebooting i get nothing. black screen.
tried holding power for 10-20 sec, even 30. nothing.
so tried going into APX mode and nvflashing through pc. but when i'm doing that the pc recognizing it as "unknown device" and not an APX.
so i've realy got nothing. and i cant communicate with pc to nvflash.
obviously i tried manualy install APX driver from nvflash folder. but still get unknown device.
please help!
what should i do?
im not a newbie i've done those things dozens of times. (nvflash, apx, cwm..) but i've never faced a totall brick
so you already had nvflash connected to device before it is bricked so you are sure all is setup corectly ?
cause it is a real pain in the but that when the tf is in apx it just looks dead.
If that is the case than I dont have a clue because nvflash is kind of a last resort
Uninstall the drivers, reboot, install the drivers again and try for apx, if its a no go then reboot pc and try for apx.
Sorry i cant be more help.
Edit - Make sure the TF actually has some juice in it. Leave it on charge for a couple of hours.
i've done nvflash before and i'm familiar with the procedure.
about uninstalling drivers and rebooting, maybe will help altough i've tried going into apx with other computers with no success aswell.
please help!
no one knows maybe theres a reset button or something inside the transformer. just a way to bring APX back!
if you can get back into revovery, try to flash again.
check md5sum yo make sure you have a good file
Sent from my Transformer TF101 using Tapatalk
thats the thing. ive got nothing. the screen just stays black no matter what. so i thought maybe APX will rescue me but i now dont have even APX. is it even possible?
apx mode on ming leaves the screen blank and off. leave your tablet on a charger for a while to make sure it is charged, a couple of hours at least reduce as many errors as you can. if you have the apx drivers installed right when you plug it in to windows you will hear a beep saying you plugged a device in. You could also try to install the apx drivers again.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1123429
this will tell you how to do it.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1185104
this thread has better instructions though.
have you ever installed nvflash drivers before...or is this the first time?
ive already told yall. i done this proccess before (nvflash and going into APX. i know the screen should stay off and only the computer should say APX device been detected or something like that. but the message im getting from pc is "unknown device" connected. and when i try to manually install the apx drivers from device manager by directing it to the nvflash folder where the drivers should be- it just stays unknown device and says that the most updated drivers for it is already installed
I'm having the same issue. I can't get into APX mode anymore. Just appears as "Unknown Device" in device manager.
I'm currently running PRIME 1.7. My clockwork recovery also fails to recognize the SD card, so I can't flash a new ROM that way either. I really want to switch to Revolver, but with no APX, it's not going to happen.
hmm maybi you can try it on a other pc. if you have luck it can be recognizedd
Unknown Device......?
Uninstall the drivers, reboot pc, reinstall fresh drivers, reboot pc, connect TF101
Next time use the search function or google.

[Solved] [Q] Bricked Help!

I am afraid I have made a very big n00b mistake.
Let me just say to prior to this goof up, I was well informed of the rooted SG4G world and had successfully flashed CWM and was running on various custom kernels and tweaks. I am currently abroad and had to revert back to my unlocked SG4G as my phone abroad, so my knowledge of the rooting world became somewhat diminished. Now here lies the problem. Earlier this morning, my phone had a random reboot. I decided to try and flash another kernel that I had saved on my phone via SGS Kerenel flasher(which I have used successfully used before). However, I think i may have reverted to the stock kernel that did not run well with all the tweaks I had previously installed. Now when I boot up, I get stuck on the SG4G screen (only for T-Mobile screen). I rebooted into recovery mode but it appears as if I have lost CWM, therefore I can not do a nandroid back up.
My question is: How can I restore my phone and make a nandroid backup without CWM?
I already took matters into my own hands and tried flashing CWM via Haeimdall through the kernel that is suggested in "The Definitive Noobs guide to Flashing and or fixing the SG4G" but Heimdall does not seem to recognize my device. It does say "Device detected" when I enter download mode but it is not giving me the option to click "Start."
Help will be much appreciated since I am relying on my phone while I am abroad and need to fix this ASAP.
Much appreciated and again,
Sorry for the n00b mistake
Take note of the 'kernel' in SGS Kernel Flasher. Not ROM flasher.
Follow the guide in the second link of my signature.
Thank you for the prompt response lumin,
I have followed your guide to the bone but I am unfortunately stuck on a certain step. When I reboot my phone into "Download mode" and connect the USB cable, nothing happens. The command prompt just says "Ready for Flash" and does not proceed to the "Installing Drivers" step.
Any thoughts on this?
I hope this does not mean my phone has become a paperweight and that my computer no longer recognizes the phone via USB .
Edit: According to Heimdall the Device status says "Connected" but according to the the command prompt it says "Device not connected" and "Ready for Flash"
Also, when I first plug in my phone, Windows 7 tells me the "USB device is not recognized"
Hope this doesn't mean we've hit a dead end...

If Heimdall see's it, it's soft bricked and fixable by flashing the right stuff. Still getting into download mode, it can be fixed.

That is great news.
But how exactly do I flash "the right stuff?"
I noticed that when I plugged my SG4G to attempt the "Installing Drivers" step via CMD, my laptop installed the drivers automatically and said "the device is ready to use." Does this constitute as "Installed Drivers" step completed and I can proceed to flashing KJ6 Heimdall via one click?
Thanks,

I am using a data cable that I believe is from an old "V-cast" phone. I am not using a Samsung Galaxy USB cable but I have not had a problem with transferring files to and from my phone from my laptop so I assume it is not the cable... unless I am mistaken?
Use your cable that came with the phone. Just because the cable will transfer files doesnt mean it will work with heimdall.
You keep mentioning installing drivers through cmd line. While it does show the cmd line in the background - Zadig should open giving you a GUI to install/replace the drivers.
Is Zadig opening when you run the One-Click? Also, do you still have Samsung drivers installed on your computer? Go to My Computer > Uninstall Programs and look.

Hello lumin and thank you again for your prompt responses,
I checked again to see if there were any drivers installed and you were in fact correct. The KIES program slipped by my findings. I uninstalled it and again uninstalled anything Samsung/Android related via usbdeview.
I thought this might do the trick but Zadig is not popping up when I plug my USB cable in my "Download ready" Samsung. The CMD does read "Ready for flash" and Heimdall says its connected. Should I just go ahead and run Heimdall? WIll Zadig pop up after I click the "flash" button. If I am not mistaken, your tutorial says it should automatically pop up, which in my case, it is not.
Also, eollie did mention I need a the Samsung Galaxy S USB cable that came with my phone. I am not currently using that. Could the cable be the culprit to my issue?
I really appreciate everybody's help to my problem.
Thank you all,
Eurik
If it says connected in Heimdall and flash is enabled - then yes - flash. It does not have to be a Samsung cable. The cable will either work or not work. And it sounds like yours is working.

Alright lumin,
One more step complete, one more problem.
I got to the step where Zadig shows up. The drivers even installed and I got a message saying my "Device is ready to use."
Now the new problem.
When I select "List all devices" I do not see the option to select "Samsung USB Composite Device."
4 devices are listed and the include: HP webcam-101 (Interface 0). HP webcam-101 (Composite Parent), Gadget serial, and Gadget serial Control (interface 0).
No Samsung USB Composite device though.....

Sure did.
Mentioned in my post that I selected "List all devices."
Any other thoughts?
Use Gadget Serial. Others have reported the same situation and successful used Gadget Serial. And/or try a fresh USB port.
