Did it work? If so, let the dev and others know. Now you can help some people. I knew nothing when I started but hung onto certain things and passed them on. Hope you do the same.

Put it on root of sdcard then flash it in cwm recovery. Rooted!

My computer will not let me download unlock root

On xda theirs no root method for 2.3.3. What you have to do is install a recovery, once you do that you can flash ROMs. And of course the ROMs give you root access.

Click this link and follow the instructions on how to install nvflash recovery. Very simple. Theirs also videos on YouTube.

There isn't only if you want to be technical. Unlockroot works, most likely your AV software is blocking it. Alternatively, you can do what the previous poster suggested, toss on CWM, and either load a custom ROM or a rooted stock one. Look in the dev section.

ERNK! WRONG!
But seriously, there is a method on here that works. Check out my signature. It has the link for a working root for the G2x. The instructions can get a little "huh?" because of how they put it all together, but if I can pull it off first try, anyone can, lol.
Just PM me if ya need any help.

I almost forgot, be sure to actually flash CWM with Nvflash. And only use CWM to flash a ROM. Stay far, far away from Rom Manager. It's not a true flash.

Nvflash is the best way

are you blind?
There are 3 ways to root g2x
1. Superoneclick stock 2.2.2 froyo rom
2. Flashable zip above stock 2.3.3 rom
3. Nvflash a rooted rom.

Your post tells me nothing about whether or not you are rooted already.
Just in case you aren't, you need root access, and CWM installed.
I'll provide you with the links.
You'll need this tool to flash the root to your phone. It's called Odin.
Download here:
Odin Flashing Utility
Now download this ROM and flash it using Odin. It will root your device:
ED01 Stock Rooted
Now, download the CWM and flash it using Odin. This is the custom recovery:
CWM
Now, with root access, and CWM installed, you should not have any problems installing a new custom ROM.
You want GummyCharged 2.0? Well just to insure that you downloaded it from the right source, I will provide a link for that too:
GummyCharged 2.0
Again, if you are already rooted and have CWM installed, sorry for wasting your reading time. Your post just didn't give me ANY information, so I just assume that you aren't rooted.
hi guys!
i have sgs 4g. im in 2.2,i want to back up my room..(rooted) I tried using rom manager. but i couldn't. anyone know how to back up my rom without rom manager?
If anyone know backup using rom manager , plz let me know..
does anyone have 2.2 orginal rom ?
thanx
sorry for my bad english
Edit: link didn't work.
Go to dev section find thread cwm final by krylon360. Follow directions to get it working.
Once you have cwm working you can enter recovery and make a backup of your rom.

JL... you will learn a lot reading through each of the SR subforums... we all have. When you're done reading and ready to post a question... two suggestions for you:
1. Be clear and specific in your question.
2. Provide enough information so others can assist... for example, what steps did you take... what EXACTLY did you do or flash... file name... are you stock or do have custom rom/kernel/modem/recovery... etc.
BTW, "Update.zip" are installation packages primarily used in older 2e recovery partitions... if you have CWM, you can flash non-samsung zip packages by selecting "install zip from sdcard"... not the "install update.zip" option.
Thanx..read all night and just flashed sky kernal 009.mzip..finally a boot image other than [email protected] to set CPU slide in rom toolbox..not sure..set it at performance for now..any suggestive values?.I'm still reading.....good morning!

Use root checker to confirm?
You can also see if super user app is there in your applications...
ofcourse you can check that by downloading root checker app from play store.

Just reflash.
Like lumin says reflash. Use the second link in his signature.
However what rom are/were you on?If it is not a stock based rom dont use the reset feature within the phone use the one in recovery.
Thanks lumin you continue to be a trusted advisor. I flashed
a stock gingerbread from lumin last week.

Perfect is a hard statement to make. Any of the ICS flavors are pretty stable there are bugs but even stock roms have bugs. I think barebones by antonx is a good one and VB by FB is too.
Is it add simple as installing stock GB was using heimdall? I've read good things about VB would you possibly post a link? Most I click on are dead/inoperable...

Run Gremlin Remover and go from there. You will have root and CWM to flash the ROM you want.

i have had my phone for a couple months and have been trying to root it i look on youtube for guides but this phone seems to be the odd ball.... its running on 2.3.4 and i have tried (superoneclick) and (unlockroot) and none seem to work. I have heard there is a way to do it by (ADB)? If thats the only way and thats how you are going to tell me how to do please explain this has been really hard for me. thank you.

Someone correct me if im wrong, but in order to root this phone you need to flash an already rooted ROM, you must use the nvflash link that was provided for you no matter what, and then once CWM is flashed, flash a ROM.
Hope this helped!

Super one click doesn't put cwm recovery on the phone if you want rooted stock kwes has one pre made flash through cwm easy as pie guys. I dont understand why you would want your phone rooted with no recovery installed. Just makes it harder to fix if you mess up
