LG G2x driver is here

Mod: please place it sticky for reference.
http://www.lg.com/us/mobile-phones/Resources/LGUnitedMobileDriver_S498MA22_WHQL_ML_Ver_2.2.exe
This is useful if you flash it with AOSP ROM (CM or Eagleblood or Faux123).
Make sure you install prior plugging in. After installed the driver, you should be able to access mass storage (both internal and SD).
The driver worked on my 32bit XP (Acer netbook) and 64bit Windows 7 (Toshiba A665d).

Surprisingly my iMac needs SOMETHING. Normally what you say is absolutely true, but...
My Captivate and Skyrocket both have USB ADB connection issues on the Mac. I have a Droid2 and it works fine, but connecting the Captivate gives me a LOGCAT of about 1 page, then it disconnects. The Skyrocket NEVER connects.
Tried it on another identical iMac and SAME RESULTS so it's a hardware / Apple configuration issue. Go figure!
I'm searching the forums for some additional information but so far no luck!

Android SDK & Windows 8

I'm trying to use my One X on Windows 8 but it won't let me install the Android SDK. It says I need the Java SDK or whatever installed first and I did that but it still comes up with the same error when I try to install the Android SDK.
Anyone using Windows 8 and got it working?

I looked in c:\Windows\system32 and it's there. Java.exe.
It says if you believe you have it installed and it was not properly recognized, then simply set an environment variable JAVA_HOME to point to it.
I don't know what that means or how to do it.

This my help.

Thanks. I got it working. I don't remember tho what to install from the SDK Manager. It's been a while since I installed it on Windows 7 but I think I remember that I had to choose some different things to install.

What are you trying to do? If you just want adb, then not much, if you want to dev, then a little bit more. Lol

I just wanna use adb for now. So should just the recommended setting settings be enough? I see it recommends Android 4.1 stuff but now 4.0.3. I checked off 4.0.3 just to be safe.

I think I had gone back to Windows 7 before I figured out what was causing the problem. I figured I'd wait until Windows 8 was official before messing around with getting it to work.

I just installed the official Windows 8 build and am in the process of getting the sdk installed and adb working.
I LOVE Windows 8 btw. The official build is so much nicer than the release preview I had on a couple weeks ago.

How to root by using a Linux Ubuntu Computer...

Guys,
Im looking for instructions on how to root the Note 10.1 by using a pc that is running Ubuntu (or any version of Linux for that matter). The tutorials Ive seen so far are using Windows and Odin.
I have rooted my galaxy Nexus by using the command line in Linux, but Im not sure if a similar procedure will work.
If any one has a link that they can share, I would appreciate it. Thanks.

Wow your looking to do a lot of adb commands..
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I717 using xda app-developers app

Lol Yeah : p also this is the wrong section . this Should have been posted in Q & A

Actually, it wouldn't be many at all. Should be similar to rooting the gnex.
I thought I was posting in the correct forum since it was about rooting.
If it's not right, mod, please move this post.

Think about this subforum as a "collection" of "library" with the information. A tutorial on how to root is welcome. A question on how to root goes to "Questions and answers".
When you go to a library, you don't want to see the record of all people who has looked for all of the books mixed with the books, do you?
WTB: I am also interested in that tutorial

I just rooted my Note 10.1 from Ubuntu using Heimdall 1.4rc with the HighOnAndroid CWM recovery. I can't post outside links since I'm a new user, but I'll try to post a more detailed tutorial in a few days.

yep Heimdall works just as well (if not better) than odin.

You could of just put the exynos exploit app onto your memory card and ran that. As long as its not the latest round of JB4.1.2 on your tablet you can root it REALLY easily. Then when you upgrade, You use Mobile ODIN. This will allow you to keep root access.
No stuffing around with the PC unless you download the app on that and transfer to the tab, but you can do that with your tablet...

[Q] QHSUSB_DLOAD S-Off

Ok, I'd been on the Sense 5 Rom and Elemental 6.7 for a while. Today I noticed that my phone wasn't going to sleep and was normally clocked around 1.0 Ghz no matter what it was doing. I tried changing the settings with No-frills cpu control but it didnt work. Long story short: I rebooted into recovery and reflashed the kernel to see if it would fix the problem. I used the stock elemental x settings (no overclock or undervoltage). The kernel flashed, I pressed reboot and the phone went dark... It wont cut on, holding the power button does nothing and plugging it into the computer gets me the qhsusb_dload message that I've read isnt a good thing to have. However most people who had this problem seem to have gotten it from RUU while S-On, my phone was S-Off so I'm wondering does that help my chances any, and is there anything I can do to restore my phone?

Try the unbrick evita thread. You'll need to run linux by live usb or live CD if you don't run linux. A virtual machine could work too.
If you can make it past step 3 and the partitions are intact, you can restore your phone.

I tried the unbrick evita thread but the zip is no longer posted on dropbox. I worked up to step 3 and there are some /dev/sda/ folders which I am presuming are the partitions... I can't find the unbrick_evita.zip file so if anyone has it I would really appreciate it. If I can find it on my own I'll update this thread. Thanks in advance.

There should be a bunch of partitions Like in the picture in the unbrick thread if you only have 3 or 4 or 5 then it not recoverable.

Alright guys. Seems like I'm fully bricked. Another guy on here had the same issue and said he sent it to HTC and they covered it so I called and am gonna send it in as well. *Fingers crossed* If it doesnt work then I'll probably just save up and upgrade to the one.
I know I dont post a lot here, but I do a lot of reading and you all have been super helpful. Thanks for the hard work you all put into this.

If you are in QHSUSB-DLMODE after trying to install RUU, OTA, or a custom kernel, you are pretty much done, aside from JTAG or sending it to HTC. I don't believe anybody has unbricked from any of these conditions.

You could try for years and will not recover. You require specially signed files from HTC to recover from that.
You are more than welcome to try the unbrick evita thread but if your patitions don't enumerate (step 3) there Is no way to recover without signed files from HTC. Other than jtagg ofcourse.
