How to root v21y - T-Mobile LG G2x

Same method as 2.3.3?
Sent from my LG-P920 using XDA

Just flash Kwes's rooted rom through CWM.
CWM with NVflash hasn't changed.

Easiest method I found - http://www.unlockroot.com/
Works great on stock!

Yea but don't I need to be rooted to flash cwm?

No. You aren't rooting to get cwm, you get cwm to root.

No you do not have to be rooted to flash cwm you just have to download nvFlash and follow the instructions in the post you will find a whole thread about it in the development section by

So I can flash cwm then a custom rom and kernel without ever rooting?
That makes no sense.

Nvidia based devices are a little different. The APX mode let's you flash a recovery, so you can then load whatever ROM you want, rooted or not.

New to Samsung Root

OK so I'm use to rooting HTC phones and have no idea what to or how it works, I do have a few questions.
1. Is there a I click root for ed2 ota?
2. Is CWM fully function yet?
3. Is the lagfix up and running and is it something you flash through CWM?
Thank you in advanced.
My baseline is ed1 and my build is ed2, I did do the ota.

1. No
2. Not exactly
3. I believe most of us flashed with odin.
If you are unrooted on ED2, then you need to flash back to ED1 to apply root...but I think Altered Beast provides root too.

1. no one click for ED2. You need to flash a rooted kernel.
2. CWM works for everthing except nandroid backup/restore.
3. Lagfix is implemented in all voodoo kernels posted in development. Some can be flashed in CWM, one has to be flashed in odin
Don't the voodoo kernels apply root on boot each time?
Could he Odin CWM onto the phone, then use CWM to flash imnuts' kernel and effectively get root (whether he applied voodoo or not)?

yes, as long as he boots directly to revovery. If you boot the stock kernel cmw will be overwritten, afaik.

Noob rooting question

I'm fairly new to rooting and I have the basic idea down. My only quesiton is once I flash a kernal that has CWM and root and then install a rom with CWM (assuming I got that part right) if I decide I want to go back completely stock is all I have to do flash a stock version of this phone through odin? Thanks in advance

[Q] what recovery is use

for my phone i try the CWM from rom manager, but my recovery have the samsung recovery ? @[email protected]? and i has seen other talking bout cwd dont work and then im not sure but something call kG4 ??
i rooted my phone with the superone click but i cant get a recovery so i can flash ROMs on my phone ??
I recommend you to ODIN one of the customize ROM or KERNEL in the development session first to get the CWM ( most of the case it was integrated to the ROM or kernel) then you can flash any ROM you want.
Or use the cwm final thread in the dev section.

There is one for froyo and one for GB.

If people want to use ROM manager after being warned then

Yikes dude. Just follow the many guides on the Bible... It can't get any easier than those guides. Use Odin to get CWM via Dr. Honks kernel.

In your signature it says that your phone is an Xperia X8 so i recommend you use the right forum to ask questions as they are both very different phones.
Anyway, Odin is a program on windows that allows you to flash a ROM on Samsung mobiles (only).
Certain kernels can be flashed through CWM i think. Check on the G3Mod Kernel thread for more information.
CWM can be installed without a PC i think but you need a few files that you have to message 'Mumbozver' for since he is the person who made CWM work on the Samsung Galaxy 3. Then you will be able to flash a kernel using the update.zip method and if you flash a G3Mod kernel, then you will be able to use Multiboot to boot up a custom ROM.
All the information will be on the G3mod thread, first page so go there to start off and message mumbozver for the CWM files.

Try to use a pc for about 10min. Just flash via odin one packagr. Lots of samsung phones use odin to flash roms and kernels. Kernels csn be flashed thru cwm in the .zip format
Sent from my GT-I9003 using xda premium
I don t think there is any other way. You need a PC so that you can flash G3Mod kernel. It has CWM recovery built in. Or you need to flash some ROM which has built in recovery.

G3mod only supports android 2.2 and 2.3.
And I recommend to flash kyorarom when version 5 is released as it has some awesome never before seen features.

Wouldn't recommend ICS as it is only the first test build and not much is working right now.

Silly rooting question.

So I'm wondering if there is an easy way to root from the phone? Or any way for that matter. I'm on a cappy with stock 2.3.5 and wow it sucks. Its my wife's phone as I soft bricked my phone trying to flash helly bean over firefly 3.0. I'm guessing I didn't have the gb bootloaders. Though with this phone I do have them and should be able to easily flash helly bean with no problems once its rooted and I flash the proper kernal.

I always go to 4-2ndtwin's helpful links in his signature and use either Odin or Heimdall to install a kernel that will allow you to flash roms. Then you can just boot into recovery and flash.
I think there is a mobile odin on the market.
Ill look for mobile Odin.

No, you dont need root to use odin. Make sure you read up and find instructions. Flash a kernel with root and apply via CWM and there you go.

Mobile Odin does require Root.
And nope, no way to Root just from phone.
But there is no need to get Root if u r just gonna flash a Rom anyway. U will however need to use Odin or Heimdall to flash a kernel with the CWM Recovery baked in. (i recommend KK4 Corn Kernel v7.0A ). Once u have flashed that kernel, just use button combo to reboot into cwm and then install ur Rom of choice that u should have already copied on ur phone. Success :thumbup:
