Need help rooting g2x 2.3.3

I just bought this phone off of eBay, and I'm trying to root it. From what I read I have to install CWM recovery then flash a rooted stock 2.3.3. So I try to install cwm recovery. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1056847 but I am stuck at step 4 after I plug in the usb to my phone while holding the volume bottoms... nothing pops up, no window saying detects a new APX device. Please help this noob.

Try this.. Your battery must be out. Double check in device manager that apx is not there. Sometimes it won't show an error or pop up Windows stating "apx device found". Also reboot your computer and try again. My computer for some reason doesn't recognize usb sometimes. Oh and use same usb port

Thank you but I have tried that post also. Just can't get the apx error to pop up so I can browse the apx folder. I tried just connect my phone to the PC with the phone on but it just doesn't connect....I wonder if my phones usb port is messed up...it charges just fine though.

Try another one. Reboot both phone and computer. Try a different usb port. It should pick it up. Then continue with your steps. Try installing lg drivers. 1st

I think did install LG drivers....if you mean that one .exe file call lgdriver...well I guess I'll keep trying hopefully it works.

It should work then. Try a different usb cable and computer if possible.

What version windows r u using? Vista have dat problem

I was using window 7. Going to go home later and try another cable with another laptop
Sent from my LG-P999 using Tapatalk

okay, so i tried 4 different types of usb cables and 3 different computers...2 are windows 7 and 1 is windows xp...still stuck at step 4...i dont understand...

There is no easier way. This is the simplest way. I just don't understand why your computer is not recognizing the phone. Maybe it's hardware problems? Did you check under device manager and didn't see apx???

No I don't see apx anywhere

Ok, humor us for a sec (or maybe just me) open up your device manager, with battery out, proper button combo (power+both volume buttons?), phone plugged in and hit print screen on your computer keyboard, then open paint and hit paste. Save that as a JPEG and upload it here.

Did you click to open usb controllers. Apx should be in there

Weird... I am not seeing any LG drivers in your image? On my PC I have one LG driver under modem (this computer isn't set-up for flashing this phone, my laptop is)
I also used NVFlash (as One click wasn't working at that time due to having 2.3.4 from TMo) and I remembered that I had to install the LG updater tool first to get the latest drivers installed before I used NVFlasher and got everything to work.
I remember it was a real pain at the time due to having GB 2.3.4 from factory, I know you have 2.3.3 but try that step out as it might help.

so how would I use NVFlash to root my phone? If you could please explain the steps thank you

Wow...it's been so long...
I know I used the LG Updater tool to install the latest LG drivers on the computer
Then I DL'd and used the NVFlasher, following the directions for it (with out the drivers the computer won't see your phone, so you can't update/root it)
This is where it get fuzzy.. I'm sure this loaded CWM recovery on the phone, so all I had to do was boot into it and make a back-up recovery of the phone. Rebooted the phone as normal. Still had phone connected to PC.
From there I loaded the update.zip (of Eagle's Blood current file) to the mem card
Rebooted to recovery, wiped cache, etc.. as in the instructions. Updated zip from mem card. when done, rebooted. Went thru Googles setup. Rebooted again and phone was rooted.
I had all the treads subscribed on my old account, but I lost the log-in info and had to create a new one :-(

well this bring me back to being stuck at step 4 at the beginning of the post. when i try to install cwm via nvflasher my phone won't connect to the pc at all to install apx drivers

stuck on screen with (phone)---!----(Computer)

how on earth do you get rid of the "firmware upgrade encountered an issue. please select recovery mode in kies and try again" message?
i've been searching the web for hours trying to figure something out and kies wont read my phone. Please help!
P.s sorry if this is has already been answered

That's download mode. If you can't get phone to boot or to recovery you will have to Odin/hemidial back to Gb. What were you doing that caused this.

Where exactly is it failing? Provide more detail...have you tried different USB ports? Different USB cords? Different computers?
Not trying to be rude or mean...but either your USB cord/port isn't working or you are doing something wrong, your phone is in download mode so its saveable
Close heimdal/Odin
Open heimdal/odin
Re enter download mode:
pulling the battery
Placing it back in
Holding both volume keys (don't touch power)
Connect phone to pc
I find its best to restart Odin/heimdal if it fails...as well as restart download mode...
Also...since you just used heimdall Odin is unuseable on the port heimdall was used...heimdall replaces the infuse drivers with special ones for whatever port heimdall is used on

If Hemidial doesnt work for you try Odin. I have read that people have trouble with one but the other works. I myself use Odin. I had to go back to stock from CM10 so I am sure that the odin back to GB works. I used this guide with the second package. (GB with root). give this a try.

Not necessarily. I remember the first I time used a one click it gave me grief installing the drivers. If I remember I launched it, it wanted to install the drivers, it didn't do anything after it was done, so I closed the window that popped up to install the drivers, then unplugged and replugged my phone to the computer and clicked the button. It worked fine then.

One other thing, are you just logged in as admin, or are you right clicking and running as admin? Even though you are logged in as admin, sometimes apps don't run with elevated privileges, you still need to do the right click.

There are a couple of things to point out:
Get Kies off your computer - it is a source of problems. Also means delete from recycle bin if there.

[Q] Can't connect to pc

Hello all, so i have a problem. I have a completely stock samsung infuse 4g, running 2.3.6 gingerbread. I would like to root my phone and install a custom rom as i have done before on my last phone, the samsung captivate. I have been running into a problem that continues to annoy me... When i connect my phone to my pc via usb, i get the message on my phone telling me to choose the method i would like to connect, i choose mass storage as i would like to make a backup before i do anything, however, when i choose it, i get the green android logo with the button at the bottom that says "connect to pc". When i click it, the screen thats supposed to show up, shows up, the orange android, however, almost immediately it dissapears before i can even go to "My Computer" to look through the files, and this will happen every time i try it. This has happened since i first got the phone two years ago and has never fixed itself. I have tried multiple usb cables and multiple computers, all to no avail. I'm not new to androids or rooting, but this is just blowing my mind, i cant figure it out. If you guys could help me out, i would greatly appreciate it.

Can you go in to download mode???

This method is only going to let you see the internal SD memory . Its not a true backup of your system. Just the storage part. I would like to see a picture of the screen when it is green . This after you selected Mass storage. What version of windows. ? what USB driver for INFUSE are you using. Google account has backed up mostly everything. NOT the ROM. I will be flashing the i997ucb3-CWM-root-deodex-extras.rar Using the Odin Method. Let me know if I can help.

i am going to try the method that was suggested, using ODIN to flash everything, including the root. I just gotta see if i can ever get kies to recognize my phone....... once it can i'll begin the ODIN process, but i cant start it till i know if my computer can even communicate with it. and i am using all drivers as provided by the latest version of kies. Windows 7.
[EDIT] i keep getting an error when the drivers try to install, which prevents my computer from being able to recognize my phone.

Not trying to double post, but i have come to the conclusion that i cannot get this phone to connect to my computer ODIN cant find it, kies cant find it, nothing. and yes it is on the official samsung binary, official gingerbread, everything. I have restarted muy computer multiple times after deleting and re installing drivers, nothing works i dont get it. This is the only thing stopping me........

[Q] HELP! LG Optimus 3D won't start (HARD BRICKED)

Hi! Got major problem. Recently I tried putting TWRP to my ICS 4.0.4 LG P920. I installed it (don't remember the TWRP version) but not quite correctly. If I try any ROM to install I always get in to statuts 7 error. If I try to run into reovery from ROM manager I get lying down Android with red triangle and a exclamation mark. I only managed to get in to recovery by POWER + VOLUME DOWN. But it still won't allowed me to install other ROM's such as Jellybean etc. Cache cleaning and Dalvik didn't helped. So I thought I will try this program http://theunlockr.com/2012/11/07/how-to-install-clockworkmod-recovery-on-the-lg-optimus-3d/ because it looked the easy way.
THE PROBLEM:
So I ran the program and chose to install LG Stock Recovery. It showed installation was successful. But now when I try to turn on the phone it goes in to restart loop (when on cord). Shows LG logo and restarts other and other and other. . . Can't even get into recovery. If plugged off and pressing power it shows logo and turn off.
Any advice would be VERY appreciated.

Tried this http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2246001
Fastboot runs successfully but at the end my phone just vibrates but no LG logo shows up

If you are able to get into recovery, and get status 7 error, it usually means that the recovery is not compatible. If you want to install ics again just use the aio tool the last version is easy to use. And flash another recovery. Then flash rom.

Actually, I was able to get into recovery before using http://theunlockr.com/2012/11/07/how...lg-optimus-3d/ . Now I can't basically do anything: can't get into recovery, download mode or turn on.
https://vid.me/M21i

Ok, so I did everything in the instruction as http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2268268 . Got the GREEN SOFTWARE DOWNLOAD mode, changed port to 41 etc. I managed to run SmartFlashTool_3D, cheched the port (41) Put the LGP920_110622.dll and LGP920_30A_AP.bin with LGP920_30A_CP.fls. An I've stucked with TimeOut error (my phone turn off durring this proccess even with full battery). Every single time I try. Any advice how to fix that?

Also tried different Flash tools. Tried B_SmartFlashTool_3D which showed the TimeOut error above in my post. Also tried LG Flash Tool. Problem is I never make it to the part it says Ready in the PORT1. Did everything on the instruction. Changed to port 41 when selected port 1 and it leaves me with :

When you get to that screen, press the arrow button, then it will show ready. Thereafter unplug usb and plug in again, it will then start flashing automatically.

Yes, I pressed the arrow, but it didn't change anything. Maybe I need different USB cable because I saw other people complaining about that. Also keep in mind that in the program there it says MODEL, it keeps blank space. Should it be so? In couple of Youtube videos I noticed that other people's smartphones were detected...

After hiting the yellow arrow in lg flashtool you have to reconnect the phone.
Also you can try flashtool2014 https://mega.co.nz/#!Hlo22baS!zXV3VKRZzOI5EtO5MEAUzICC5kcx-a7xAGspZzhKMFs
You have to instal lgb2c before that https://mega.co.nz/#!70hBEQZK!IpOGBNLLu4sfRBzygJw2J8vh0B3OLgaVto26S21rsHs
If you facing failed to connect server error then you also have to edit the host file in C:\windows\system32\drivers\etc\hosts
And add this line 127.0.0.1 csmg.lgmobile.com

Reconnected - didn't change.
Yeah, I will try other flash tools.
P.S. any advice on Time Out error? Why it is happening and how to stop it?
EDIT: somehow doesn't open links.

Also keep in mind that in the program there it says MODEL, it keeps blank space. Should it be so? In couple of Youtube videos I noticed that other people's smartphones were detected...

For example here https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=trhIgKL2FlI it instantly shows P920 after selecting AP file, while mine's not. Maybe I got wrong drivers installed...

I have no idea why you get timeout error. I got these kind of errors with my Optimus 2x but after several tries I got passed. I falshed baseband and the rom separately.

that is matter of dll. I dont remember well, but I used the dll from an extracted kdz to make lgflashtool work with my optimus 2x p990

@Coolguy981
Friend, have you tried flashing a KDZ? It is a much more reliable way to flash your phone, especially after you have already run into problems. The LG Mobile Support Tool has changed a lot since I last used it but I'm sure it still has an emergency recovery function where you type-in your IMEI and the Tool recovers your phone to it's original factory state. After that, you can use the AIO tool to install a custom recovery, then root, then whatever you want...
Don't forget that this phone is unbrickable and if you ever run into serious problems, Xbsall's resurrection guide will bring your phone back to life.

Tried this http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2191698 didn't work. I put in S/W mode and ran UpTestEX put kdz file in it and pressed Normal web upgrade test and Upgrade Test. Nothing happens. So instead I chose Start Upgrade. The program shows line: " Extract kdz file" and do nothing for whole minute and my phone shutdown (it does that always if in S/W more than a minute and doing nothing). The program crashes and says Don't send error. Losing my faith in resurrecting this phone :crying:

You must have already installed LG B2C app on your PC. This is the official LG Mobile Update Tool.
- Just run that.
- Connect your phone in S/W Download mode.
- Look for Emergency Phone Recovery (or something like that) in the B2C tool.
- Type-in your IMEI when it asks you.
- Let it do it's job.

Yes, I have installed LGMobile Support Tool. I have only found Upgrade Recovery. When I select it, insert my IMEI but it says my phone is up to date.

Help! My AT&T LG G3 D850 is soft bricked and I am stuck with errors in LG FlashTool

Help! My AT&T LG G3 D850 is soft bricked and I am stuck with errors in LG FlashTool
Background: I found my phone frozen with the screen turned off so I decided to restart it by taking the battery out. When I turned it back on I found out that it was stuck in a bootloop. So I tried to do a hard factory reset hoping it would fix it but it was still stuck. The only thing I recently did to this phone was update the OS to marshmallow few days ago using the software update option in settings (so not rooted). ATT or LG wont do anything to fix it because warranty has expired... only option is to try and fix it myself
So I tried flashing the original firmware using this guide (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=64624324&postcount=2) but I kept getting this error
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",
"lightbox_stop_slideshow": "Stop slideshow",
"lightbox_full_screen": "Full screen",
"lightbox_thumbnails": "Thumbnails",
"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
Then I tried using the LGUP8974.dll (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=63266194&postcount=84) as was suggested here (https://www.reddit.com/r/LGG3/comments/3ov9x6/need_help_lg_flashtool_model_information_check/) but now I get this error after 6%
I've been trying these tot and dll files from multiple sources in case the files I downloaded were corrupted, and have been searching for answers for few days but I can't find anything relevant. I don't know where to go from here, and any help or redirection to where I can find help would be greatly appreciated.

Anyone? I need to know if I should just move on and get a new phone or if I can fix this

Let me try to help you, but first of all you will have to tell me, the real position of your device now, i mean how is it behaving, at what screen is it stopped and what can you see if you want to start it?
you may need this kind of help if needed! http://open-freax.fr/guide-unbrick-your-lg-g3/

I got the same error until I ran the Flash Tool in Windows 7 compatibility mode. FYI, the latest version as far as I know is 1.8.6.527.

When I start the phone, the LG logo appears and it stays there indefinitely with the blue/green led flashing on top. I am able to get into recovery (where the only option is to do a factory reset) and download mode, and that's why I didn't think my phone was hard bricked. The link you recommended seems to detail a fix for hard bricked devices.

I tried the compatibility mode with my version and with the 1.8.6.527 but I still get the same errors. The only difference I noticed with the compatibility mode was that all ports except Port 1 (COM41) get disabled.

All the other ports will be disabled except COM41, that's normal. It might have been coincidence when I enabled compatibility mode.
Make sure you're using a USB 2.0 port as 3.0 ports seem to cause issues. Also plug it in directly to a port on the back of your PC tower not the front ports or a hub (if applicable).

Still erring

I made sure I was using the USB 2.0 ports. Even double checked in the device manager to see that it was plugged into the correct port. I get the same errors

I'm starting to wonder if this really is a hard brick... I'm just afraid of diving into some unnecessary process and risk creating more problems if this is not the case of hard brick.

Try different USB cables and a different PC if you can. It's not a hard brick if you can access recovery and download mode.
You also might want to try LGUP since you last had the MM update.

Please don't hijack the thread. Your issue is quite a bit different than the OP's.
Start your own thread with a descriptive topic title and folks will be more inclined to help you. Screenshots and/or exact error messages would help, too. Also, run-on sentences don't help.

So I went ahead and tried this on another PC. Made sure everything was right - USB 2.0, original cable for G3, win 7 compatibility mode. I still get the same error for both .dll files as I had previously.
What do you mean by LGUP though? Are you referring to the LGUP8974.dll?

LGUP as in the newer Windows program as opposed to the LG Flash Tool. Check the Back To Stock thread in LG G3 General.

The LGUP uses KDZ and only supports the D855 model. I have the D850 (AT&T) model. That said, I had tried that method prior to posting on here asking for help and it didn't work. I tried flashing the D855 firmware on my D850 hoping it would at least let me start the phone so I can root it and install TWRP or some other recovery so I can re-flash it back to the original firmware.
Edit: I doubt that my problems right now are caused by this risky method, because the flashing was interrupted at 6% similar to the TOT method. Also, I had these problems before I even tried the LGUP

I went through the same thing. Got Marshmallow and then looking for root got got that Kingroot. Got root but it was temporary and everytime I rebooted I had to rerun that frigging Kingroot. So there is an application that supposedly removes Kingroot and lets SuperSU take over and of course it hosed my phone totally.
The final solution was finding the correct dll file since there are a bunch of them floating around. Literally downloaded about five different ones and finally found one that worked. PM me your email and I will send it to you if you want to try it.

If you are running MM You MUST use LGUP... LGUP works with ALL models.

So I guess I was thinking of a different tool earlier. Anyways I tried flashing using LGUP and using the "REFUBRISH" option, I get the same error as I had with the LGFlashTools -- erase command failed at 6%. So I tried the "UPGRADE" option and, to my excitement, the progress bar went up to 100% and the phone rebooted. So I waited for it to boot up.... and nothing. I waited for a while and it's still stuck in the same state as it was before flashing. I plugged it back in download mode and LGUP detects the phone with version D85030K which after a quick google search I realized was the MM version(?) It seems like even though the progress bar went up to 100% nothing was actually done...
BTW I'm using the LGD850AT-01-V10d-310-410-JUN-19-2014+0.tot file so I'm not flashing MM on it
