[Q] Need Help rooting G2X 2.3.4 - T-Mobile LG G2x

i have had my phone for a couple months and have been trying to root it i look on youtube for guides but this phone seems to be the odd ball.... its running on 2.3.4 and i have tried (superoneclick) and (unlockroot) and none seem to work. I have heard there is a way to do it by (ADB)? If thats the only way and thats how you are going to tell me how to do please explain this has been really hard for me. thank you.

Someone correct me if im wrong, but in order to root this phone you need to flash an already rooted ROM, you must use the nvflash link that was provided for you no matter what, and then once CWM is flashed, flash a ROM.
Hope this helped!

Ding ding we have a winner. Nvflash cwm recovery then install rom. All the roms you will find here unless it specifically says for warranty purpose are rooted. Super one click hasn't worked since froyo

I rooted stock 2.3.4. IMHO what is the point of super one click if you have to flash a rooted Rom to gain root (you don't)

ill try using super one click again. if it dosent work i guess ill have to try to nv flash it again

Super one click doesn't put cwm recovery on the phone if you want rooted stock kwes has one pre made flash through cwm easy as pie guys. I dont understand why you would want your phone rooted with no recovery installed. Just makes it harder to fix if you mess up

If you flashed EP1W, you're already rooted. I don't know of any EP1W builds that have been released unrooted. Check for the Superuser app. You should have it, and if you do, you're rooted.
Would it be with all my other apps

no problem yeah its kind of an information overload at first, I felt the same when I first got an android phone...
CWM:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1112804
just use Odin to flash CWM, then boot into it right after you Odin it and flash the attached .zip (put on your sd card first)... and presto you'll be rooted
what section to I put the files in odin lie pda phone etc.

the CWM file should be a .tar or .tar.md5 and you put it in PDA (never touch any of the other buttons except PIT), uncheck auto reboot box as well since you should have the battery in to flash with Odin... after it successfully flashes unplug the phone and pull the battery, then put the battery back in and hold volume up + home + power until 'Samsung' comes up then let go of power while holding the other buttons still until CWM comes up then flash superuser there

lost root after flashing superuser upgrade

i emailed the Superuser guys about a month ago with an issue where i would get constant notifications to update my superuser binary, no matter how many times i actually updated it, and they sent me a CWM zip to flash and try to fix the problem (new version of superuser). i flashed it and all went well. i've been having the same issue again so i thought "why not try the same thing" and flashed the zip but lost root somehow. so is there any way that i could just push the files for root? can that be done on a GB rom?
Sent from my SGH-T959V using xda premium
Sounds like the binaries in your kernel are outdated. Try flashing a new rooted kernel. If you're on GB try drhonks kj1
Sent from my SGH-T959V using XDA App
i figured a kernel flash would help so i did it (forgot to write that in the OP) and i flashed the kj1 but it didnt help
Sent from my SGH-T959V using xda premium
I always had that problem everytime i updated superuser in the market and phone reboots it reports binaries out of date. It only happens to me when i update superuser, so trying leaving superuser alone and not update it.

This will flash everything. If that doesn't work... then I will post a video of me punching myself on youtube. (just kidding...)
But really, The one-click makes these "it doesn't work" or "I can't root" problems go away.
does it have to be heimdall flashed forbit to work? i flashed with cwm and the kernel flashed but i still dont have root
edit: heimdall flashed, still nothing
Sent from my SGH-T959V using xda premium
I read somewhere that you can flash su via cwm from a zip that its in the superuser page. might wanna check it out. Sorry if im wrong!
/me punches self in face.
So... Let me get this straight.
You ran the kj1 or kj6 (not the fully stock) one-click and you didn't have root at that point? Are you doing something after the one-click?

Can sgsg4 unroot itself

I did a factory reset cause some issues where occuring, now none of my root apps are working, SU is still there but it fails to get itself root access when it updates. Do i need to re root? With super one click?

Use root checker to confirm?
You can also see if super user app is there in your applications...
ofcourse you can check that by downloading root checker app from play store.

Just reflash.
Like lumin says reflash. Use the second link in his signature.
However what rom are/were you on?If it is not a stock based rom dont use the reset feature within the phone use the one in recovery.
Thanks lumin you continue to be a trusted advisor. I flashed
a stock gingerbread from lumin last week.

Perfect is a hard statement to make. Any of the ICS flavors are pretty stable there are bugs but even stock roms have bugs. I think barebones by antonx is a good one and VB by FB is too.
Is it add simple as installing stock GB was using heimdall? I've read good things about VB would you possibly post a link? Most I click on are dead/inoperable...

Run Gremlin Remover and go from there. You will have root and CWM to flash the ROM you want.

Just grabbed this cheap from menards. Comes pre-rooted would love to to install a custom rom too.
This is the best I can find, not sure if it works yet as my PC is jacked ATM... It has cmr and bloat removed, pm me for other info... https://a170132.uranus.1blu.de//data/public/d9c188c9d2e5984b774443ddbe44e1b3.php?dl=true
So flash at your own risk obviously and you have to follow the same procedure as polaroid directs to when you first connect the tablet... The link will directly DL this .IMG file... I can't wait to flash it but can't ATM so when I do I'll post results here or if anyone else does please post results...
jr, I see you are in my neck of the woods. any updates on flashing with that rom? I have a couple of these that I am itching to crack the seal the on.
