Hi,
I was wanting to root my T-mobile LG G2x and I found a previous forum but it don't know if the methods will work due to the forum rooting for a 2.3.3. G2x were I have the new update that is 2.3.4 will the same method work for the update or is there a different way to do it, or would the program unlockroot work to do the rooting?
here is the forum I found:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1255214
and is the legit site for Unlock root?:

Bump. Did you ever figure it out? I'm having the same problem.
I flashed my phone that had 2.3.4 with a stock rom and was able to go from there.
Let's get one thing straight I am not at all a pro at this.
What led to me flashing stock was my dumb ass flashing my phone with a p990 version. XD

not really an answer
I am running the same HTC version as you and used unrEVOked3. I would like to hear why you didn't want to root that way again. I just recently rooted my friends phone using unrEVOked3 too. email me at bobbyoftulsa @ yahoo.com so as not to crowd the thread. I haven't had a problem yet.. just want the opinion so I might start over.
I just bought my first Android phone, the Samsung Captivate on the Rogers (Canada) network.
I immediately updated the firmware via kies to 2.2.
Now I'm looking into custom ROMS because the lag is still and issue with 2.2 it seems.
Can I install ROMS like cognition on the Rogers Captivate even though it was an AT&T ROM?
If not, what are the best rogers custom ROMS?
Another thing, do I need to do the GPS fix with 2.2?
If you're mostly happy with the stock 2.2 you can easily get a lagfix through flashing a kernel..
As for custom roms, any of them should work on rogers as well as AT&T. There's guides on xda for how to flash back to stock using odin and then getting a custom rom. I haven't needed the GPS fix...running Serendipity 5.12.
I'm running Paragon 6 using the Rogers Captivate and I couldn't be happier. I have tried many roms and paragon was the one that I stuck with, if you flash some roms give paragon a try. The only problem with flashing custom roms is most likely you will lose your i896 boot screen and will get the at&t one. But there are ways to get your i896 boot screen back if you need to take your phone in for warrenty work. Happy flashing.

Thanks both of you.
One quick question.
I was reading one post about a guy flashing a ROM on his phone and could no longer use his Rogers SIM card because the rom was based off AT&T?
Did he do something wrong, should I not have to worry about this?
Err, after Googling around, I've read that after you update to the Froyo firmware via kies, it deletes your unlock code, am I going to run into problems here?
I have never had that problem, but I can't say for sure. There is a galaxy unlock program available for free in the market that can unlock your Rogers Captivate. Its called "Galaxy S Unlock." So if you do lose your unlock just re-unlock it using the above app.

Thanks a lot, that worked, I'm unlocked.
I also was successful at installing Paragon 6.0
So glad I didn't get the iPhone 4 now
I bought a LG Optimus t (used, but in excellent condition) for my son. It's stock 2.2.
My question is can I root it and what is the simplest way to do it?
one word

you can find the apk using a google search. google is your friend. if you update to 2.3.3 which was released today as stock rom, that wont work. im currently finding a working method to root the new release.

Hi all.
I have watched the NOOB Video. I have scoured the forum. I have looked at other Android sites. I,m at a loss.
I have recently been given an old stock GT-I5801 that was never updated and network locked to Orange. To be able to use the phone I unlocked it. I gave my rooted xperia x8 running a hacked 2.2 to my son, as I read that the I5801 had an official Froyo 2.2 update. I installed KIES, updated as requested when first running the software, and it doesn't recognise the phone. I tried uninstalling/re-installing KIES and not updating it, I found that the phone had two Home screens (orange and TwLauncher) I tried connecting using both.
I have found instructions on how to put the official firmware update on not using KIES but the links to the firmware its self are broken.
I decided to update to a Android system 2.3.7 / CyanogenMod 7.2, however the instruction require I root it, the instructions to root are for Froyo 2.2
I'm going around in circles, I'm at a loss. can any one point me in the right direction to get at least Froyo 2.2 official on this phone. Thanks.
P.S. I may of ignored the part in the NOOB video that tells us to be brief...........sorry.
Just flash cm7 or any rom with odin, check the flashing guide in sticky thread.

Well if that's the only way, would been nice to have a fully working 2.2 rather than a hack with issues. I'll go look into the least problematic one, cant be any worse than 2.1 stock.

GT-I5801 has indeed been updated to Froyo and Froyo is one of the more stable firmware/ROM for our mobile.
You can download any stock Froyo ROM of your wish from the link http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1497261.
Esle, you can look up to this thread to use any of the Custom ROMs which have better features than stock ROMs http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1234591
I prefer Kisadworx or PuruKisadHybrid.
Download Kyrillos rom or any rom flashable via Odin. Just flash it no need to root as many roms are prerooted.
