How to Root G2X

I am coming from Dell Streak, I hope someone would post step by step instructions on how to root this wonderful device. Maybe the nods would provide a "How to" section keep this forum neat so that people would know where to go when they need something. Like how to root, how to do nandroid backup, how to flash a Rom etc.

I'm sure guides will come, but for now, the only one is how to root the device. Look in the development section. It's like 4 steps.

Here you go bro. They already have a guide to root the G2x

Seen that already bro, thanks for the reply, gave you the thanks button! Still waiting for the unlock code from cellunlocker, unfortunately, 3g/4g does not seem to work on this device as reported by fellow at&t subscribers and news also came out that at&t launched an update for my former device. Sigh... Hope someone will be able to crack the code so we (at&t subs) could get 3g/4g on this awesome piece of device.

I just got it. posted instructions in that thread.

Ok. I'm completely confused about this whole rooting thing. I've done a search and either I'm not seeing it or just confused. LOL but what is rooting and what are the advantage and disadvantage of rooting your phone.

Rooting
Obtaining root ("administrator", or "full") access to the device. This means you can mount its internal memory partition as read/write, which lets you do various things: have USB or Wi-Fi tethering, uninstall applications you otherwise can't uninstall (e.g. the Amazon MP3 store), install applications that need root access (such as AdFree), disable the camera shutter sound (simply by deleting the shutter sound file), overclock or underclock the CPU, install and boot Debian, and so on.
With the ability to root and unroot these days, I don't know why anyone wouldn't root even just to get rid of the bloatware from t-mobile.

We all started somewhere and xda is a good place to start. Read, read, and read some more. All the answers are out there. If you follow the instructions in these forums TO THE LETTER you won't brick your device.

Your phone will be almost impossible to brick with Clockworkmod Recovery installed.

ok I have superoneclick downloaded and the drivers downloaded and now I don't know what to do from this point. I don't know where to install the drivers at...if I do on the computer or in the phone and if they go in the phone where do I put them at. The process I found doesn't say to much about where to put the superoneclick and the drivers at, any help would be great.
I'm just lost and wish someone would explain it more in detail to me.

so chillll...till the next episode....
First off ...seriously chill. Like the man says as long as you follow directions to the t, you'll be fine. secondly first rule of thumb when modding...anything... dont listen to any one who says "hey TRY this!"
don't try. DO.
I know it sux, but reading is your friend. read read and read some more. GO to the android forums and read there as well(im talking like android general/development)
Chill is your friend. smoke a doob, or drink a brewski, do yoga or whatever it is you do to chill out. The last thing you wanna do is work on your phone/computer/whatever in a frenzied panic state of mind.
rooting is easy.
like the man said super one click. the way to go.
drivers? zip?
check it:
dl zip to desktop. make a folder with said file name. put zip inside. unzip.
right clik and runa s administrator.
your pc will do the rest. hit run or just dbl click or whatever you gotta do
I made a folder "superoneclick" inside is the exe file which should be andy with a red glow.
BUT FIRST make sure you got usb drivers!
usb drivers? easy. No need to worry because if you dont have them your pc wont recognize the phone.
go to lg and get them. OR google. or search this forum.
DL and instal dont worry about where your computer will do that for you!
now plug in your phone
make sure usb debuging is on also probably a good idea to set the "allow unknown aplications"
do not hit "mass storage"
your GTG!
now hit S1C
it should recognize your phone
hit root!
DONE !
Woot!
easy no?
I hate to be an ass but if you are that nervous about it maybe you should wait.
spend a few days reading and when you are confortable....root that bizNATCH!
root rules but....its not the end of the world if you dont have it.

Anyway to gain temproot for now?

Hey,
I was wondering, is there anyway to gain temproot until we have full root? Am I right in thinking that temproot allows programs requiring root access to work e.g. AdFree?

There's an app called gingerbreak which works on the S E Arc (it roots anything on Gingerbread) so I wonder if it will work on the Sensation?

Is that saying you need to remove HTC Sync from the device, and then run Gingerbreak?

1. First download the Gingerbreak.apk file.
2. Save on your computers desktop.
3. Connect the phone to your computer. (do not connect using htc sync)
4. Mount SD card as flash drive as you generally do for USB cable file transfers.
5. Copy the downloaded Gingerbread apk file to SD card root.
6. You should have any File Manager (e.g., Astro File Manager) on your phone. If not, download from Market. These are generally free apps.
7. Disconnect your phone from computer and launch File Manager. You will find in the menu of the phone.
8. Follow the onscreen instructions on File Manager to install APK to your phone from SD card root. You may also use the default application installer software to do this.
9. After installation completes, open the APK.
10. Press ‘root’ button. Simple, isn’t it?
11. The APK exploit will run for some time. Usually it runs for around 10 minutes. Your phone will be rebooted. In case it takes more than ten minutes for auto reboot, please reboot it yourself. Not to panic, this happens a lot of times.
12. Your device is now rooted. Congrats!
13. Make sure that SuperUser app is installed and is running. This is very important for you to enjoy the benefits of rooting.
In order to test if your phone has been successfully rooted, just click a screenshot of your phone. That should show that your phone has been rooted.

Yeah, but does it REALLY work?

Gingerbreak exploit is patched on the SGS II so doubt that will work. Also if phone needs to reboot, no way will root persist due to signed locked bootloader. Go ahead and try but we will need some L33t devs to break this phone.

Yeah, I'm not really willing to believe it works either mate.
If the guide has some proof (i.e. a bootloader photo) then I will try it. If not, it's all just based on theory, but nothing practical.

Well, I have tried it, doesn't seem to do a thing so far.
It does say it fails a lot, but still, zero proof that is works, I'm very suspicious that it's all ********

It would be great if we could get this partial root. I personally don't mind not being able to flash custom ROM, but it is very important to me to be able to use some apps that require root permissions like adfree or titanium backup. From what I understand, this 'half-root' should not be very difficult to achieve cause it is not needed to mess with the bootloader for this purpose. The only requirement is to be able to uninstall htc sync for some time.
Here also a link detailing the differences between root levels and clarifying vocabulary. I am posting this cause it has been very useful for me to help understand, so it might also serves others..

Thank you for trying it. I think you should now do a full factory reset, to totally get that thing off your Sensation. It does not do what it's supposed to do and who knows what it might be doing behind the scenes. Yea, be very suspicious!

I'm not optimistic thought.

I am still VERY sceptical of it. He said, uninstall HTC Sync from the PC, as that causes problems with root? VERY random thing IMHO.

Well, a factory reset and trying to run GingerBreak right after hasn't done a thing. It says to reboot after it doesn't succeed after 10 mins, and that this happens a lot. But EVERY attempt I have been rebooting after 10 mins.

[Q] I'm a total noob, please help.

Hey, guys, I feel very inadequate in here so I was wondering if anyone would be willing to Skype with me on how to root, flash, etc. on my phone. I ask for Skype because I truly know next to nothing in regards to this process. I vaguely understand what rooting does but I have never done any of it.
I have been patient with my g2x and am still on my original one(hoping that LG or TMO would do what was right by it's customers) but after the recent news that they "might" start doing internal testing after having pulled our legs with this whole "by summer" nonsense, I have decided to try to correct their mistakes for now.
Any help is greatly appreciated. Thanks.

Are you volunteering help?

Yep, you've totally scared yourself. Don't worry, I did it with my G1. Read, read, read. Then use the one click great app to root your phone then use TGA's thread to put CWM recovery on it.
If you're gonna do this stuff you gotta trust that you know what you're doing (unless there's something you really don't understand). Else you'll never do it.
And I don't think I've seen a thread about a really bricked phone. So relax and use the source young Skywalker.

Easy, download AmonRA recovery and follow youtube video directions. pretty much, download amonra, put on sd card, insert sd card, Power down, then press powerbutton+volume down, brings you to hboot menu....then you look for hboot usb, press volume down, then youre rooted.

First 2 times in rootet, i did it with this htc legend, took a few hours and yet didn't work, but afterwards in went to theunlocker guide and piece of cake it was, i even have to tell im running @ 806 mhz stable, even if found the biggest stable clock on legend to 768 mhz good luck

Root sidekick quick and easy. One click with recovery

Guys so i wanted to root my phone and
1) i just didnt have to patience to do all the work
2) i didnt get some stuff
3) and i wanted to do this quickly and effectively
i found this youtube video after like an hour of searching and it worked GREAT. [Video and end of post]
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
pretty much the instructions are to:
Download the drivers first *NECESARRY*******IMPORTANT. this is one of the ke things cause without this is wont work in the beginning
*JUST A MENTION*
i tried doing this on my 64 bit system and it wasnt as easy when i did it on my 32 bit.
so it could have just been my comp.
just a heads up.
64 bit driver:
http://drivers.softpedia.com/get/MOBILES/Samsung/Samsung-Galaxy-S-USB-Driver-for-Windows-x64.shtml
32 bit.
http://drivers.softpedia.com/get/MOBILES/Samsung/Samsung-Galaxy-S-USB-Driver-for-Windows-x86.shtml
After that you're going to download this file:
http://tinyurl.com/Sidekick4GALLinOne
this is the file/folder whatever that will root your sidekick and add the CWM.
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^REQUIRES WINRAR^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Ok so to start rooting and the CWM
1) You're going to install the the driver that you download...64 bit or 32 bit etc.
2) after that you're going to set your phone to "USB DEBUGGING" when connect and ofcourse
connect your phone
after that your open up the folder thats called "sk4g root with good recovery"
3) ignore everything you see and just go straight to run.bat
4) click it and then wait, "Press any key to continue" press anything
5) let the thing run and you should be set at the end.
ENJOY
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
your phone will reboot during the process and that is ok
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
if your doing this to install a new rom i recommend ayoteddy's GingerCloneV2. if great and has barly any glitches

This phone doesn't have much of a life left anymore anyway. Most people have already left. The phone was a great idea, just needed to have better specs and have a more open source. Right now its just on it's last breath. Kinda makes me sad, the keyboard was amazing. The doubleplays keyboard doesn't even compare. But I couldn't handle how slow a single core CPU is. As with most people.

[Q] Acidentally started rooting my phone, SuperOneClick got stuck

So, a few minutes ago I was messing around on SuperOneClick before rooting my phone (it was not connected at this point). I went to take a shower, came back and plugged in my phone to transfer some music I had sitting on my PC. However, I had forgotten that I was playing with SuperOneClick and it was still open, so when I plugged in my phone it just started the rooting procedure on it's own
Now, about 15 minutes later and I'm stuck at this screen:
u.cubeupload. com /Samuka97/what.png (remove the spaces, I'm sorry but I'd rather not brick my phone than care about anti-spam measures)
The phone is on and I can use it normally, but I'm afraid to unplug it and I don't know what I should do for the procedure to continue, so I figured it was better to ask here instead of mourning over a bricked phone later.
TL;DR: Accidental rooting procedure got stuck as shown in above picture, what do?

Use this, this is way easyier just follow the steps.

I'll check it out, but for now: is it safe to unplug my phone now?

I used super one click for my girlfriend. It works well, only it doesn't install cwm. So I would suggest doing it the "hard way" get cwm properly installed so you don't have to rely on rom manager. If you really want to use super one click try looking up if your firmware even works with it then try another exploit.
