I ended up using a different app to unlock my vibrant. I did it all through the phone, without having to connect it to my pc. It took few minutes. Anyway, thanks for the response. BTW: im not feeling the pink on your car lol

Need Help with Rooting

Hi I have read everything I can possibly think of to root my G2X. I bought it a month ago and it came with 2.3.3 software. I have been jail breaking Iphones for years but this G2X has me lost. I just cant seem to get it and need help. I dont want to run any customs roms or such just want supper user privileges. If anyone has the time to help I would appreciate it. I tried to root via Z4 GingerBreak ETC. I tried supper one click and have got no were. Anyways Thanks for every ones time

Why couldn't you use one-click? There's nothing to it. It's completely automated.

Super oneclick doesn't work on 2.3.3.
Follow the links in my signature for rooting the G2x. Start with the clickworkmod recovery (does NOT require root first) then follow the instructions for rooting. Only took me a couple of minutes...and i'm an idiot, lol.

I feel toatly retarded cause I don't get the clockworks part. LOL why can't this be a simple one click. I'm going to try and follow your sig links and see were I get LOL

Did you root via oneclick? If so how?

This is what I did.
Not exactly one click but it worked for me. Plus cyanogen is a pretty respected source. Good luck. Also try Tsugi's custom rom for the g2x. Its actually not really custom. It is stock 2.3.4 gingerbread that was released for the European version of this phone. Its incredibly stable and lightning fast. Enjoy!!!

That's how I rooted my 233...but what's the best way
to back up contacts, pics, apps before installing new rom?
And how do I install the new roms?
I'm so confused...

First you need to dl the rom you want to your phone (look for ones that are pre-rooted i believe they all are it should say if it is). Then you need to do nv flash recovery. After this you enter recovery and perform your back up and then follow the steps to flashing the rom you chose. Go to the forum the look for the guide to flash nv flash shouldn't to difficult just follow every step and your should be good

There is a new exploit that works on 2.3.3 and 2.3.4. Super One Click has been updated to include the new exploit. Search for it and download it to root phone without needing to flash Clockworkmod Recovery.

Don't forget that the OP said that "I dont want to run any customs roms or such just want supper user privileges."

Just use the root option in openrecovery. It never fails

This is actually a question for my friend so sorry if I sound dumb lol, but how do I go about getting openrecovery and installing it

You need to use a modified kernel, Stock gingerbread kernel is not rootable doing his modification will screw your video up and you won't have video at all.

Are we waiting on source to drop so kernel can be pulled from it? Or will it still be unrootable then?
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I997 using xda premium

Sorry but I am too having the above problem. I'm afraid I do not understand about the kernel
Can someone explain? I have been searching for an answer but come up with nothing
Thanks

You would have to flash a rooted kernel with Odin to get root then use the sgs kernel flasher to flash the stock kernel if you want it.

Must be something wrong with the phone Odin said PASS but still does not work
Thanks

im putting all the tools needed together in a single package. soc is a thing of the past... i will need time to test it which means flashing the official firmware and whatever.
once everyone has root, dont ask for cwm... that will seriously put me in a bad mood.

This is just a rom.. you have to root and get CWM before you can even install this.

ok, hit my links (on my signature) both will show where to get the tools you need to accomplish your task at hand....there are Odin packages and one click methods to get Rooted ROM stock if that is what you want....or to put CWM on for custom ROMs

Update ruined my root, what to do?

Yeah yeah i was dumb and whatever, never update when you have root!!!! Warning to newbies!
I googled my problem like 20 times but couldnt quite find any solutions so im asking you guys what to do?
My CWM app says "This version of CWM manager should be used with CF-Root v5.0 or newer. it appears you are running a different kernel. Various features have been disabled."
So i lost superuser abilities after i did an update that was a 8mb file.
What to do? Root it again? or what?

Thank you guys it did indeed help.
Reason for asking was I didnt want to **** anything else up

Since rooting again, some apps stopped working so I uninstalled them, when i try to install them again, it says there is not enough memory when there clearly is enough memory.
What to do experiences users?

root again
