Sending back to Tmobile, Unroot Q

I have rooted my G2X and since changing roms didn't do anything to help fix the rebooting issues I've decided to send it back for a different one. I just want to make sure that I won't have a problem once they get my phone. I followed the instructions at http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=14159600#post14159600 but for some reason when I click unroot it seems to get stuck at a certain point.
I did make a backup of the ROM that came with the phone, but i also tried a few custom ROMs as well as trying the LG updated ROM. Currently if I open Android Terminal Emulator and type 'su' it gives me a permission denied error. If I try the 'Root Checker" app under basic it will say the phone isn't rooted and busybox isn't installed but when I go under advanced half the time I click verify it'll say it's not rooted and other times it will say it is rooted... so it's confusing me. Advanced still shows busybox as not installed, so it's just root that changes between rooted and not rooted under advanced in root checker.
Root Checker Basic > "Sorry, you don't have root access. For detailed output, please use the advanced mode" - It will say that EVERY time I try.
Root Checker Advanced >
Root Access is not properly configured or was not granted.
Superuser.apk - com.noshufou.android.su - is not installed!
The application Superuser is recommended as it provides basic security and is available for free in the android market.

/system/bin/su: No such file or directory
Standard su binary location:
/system/xbin/su: No such file or directory
Alternate su binary location: /sbin/su: Permission denied
SU binary not found in the system declared PATH
Then if I hit Verify Root again it may show the above a few times, but eventually (sometimes 1 click after) it will show:
Congratulations! You have root access!
Superuser.apk - com.noshufou.android.su - is not installed!

So I guess I'm wondering why it's showing as not rooted EVERY time under basic, but showing rooted and unrooted under advanced. If terminal emulator is giving su a permission denied error instead of a # doesn't that mean it's not rooted? Sorry for the long post, but I can't take the chance of sending the phone back rooted. Also, when I used the LG Update it updated my baseband to July 15th which isn't the one that came with the phone or the one that was with the stock rom i'm using now... could that be an issue? If anyone can help me I'd really appreciate it, thanks!

Also, since when I used the LG update it updated my baseband is it possible to revert it back to the stock baseband that was on it when I purchased the phone?

since you already did the LG update it seems like with the new baseband- why not use the stock 2.3.3 rom found here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1196019
i believe that after you flash this rom you will lose root- so you should be able to send back to tmobile with no prob- just make sure to flash back to stock recovery.

thanks for the reply, was actually in the process of doing that as you posted lol... thanks again, appreciate the help, at least now i know i'm going in the right direction ^_^

I installed 2.3.3, flashed back to stock recovery... terminal emulator still gives permission denied when i type 'su' and root checker still says not rooted for basic and switches between rooted and not rooted under advanced... is there a way to verify my phone isn't rooted besides root checker? I don't want to send back a rooted phone and the root checker is giving me mixed results under advanced so i don't know what to do at this point

need help rooting flipside

i have a motorola flipside with 2.2.2 installed. somehow it lost its root and will not reroot z4root keeps shuting down and giving some odd error saying The application z4root (process com.z4mod.z4root) has stopped unexpectedly.

ok i have come accross this but i am a little lost at the steps
wiki.rootzwiki.com/index.php/Motorola_Flipside
it says to download 3 files psneuter busybox and super user unzip the downloads into the same folder. then it says to open a terminal and change to the folder i dont understand this what am i suposed to to? it then says i need android sdk installed and working witch i do i installed it for android screencast. then it says adb devices but does not say how im suposed to enter this command. after that im fairly sure its from the cmd entering the commands shown on that link. can anyone tell me how to get throgh the first few steps please?

Manual Root
[edit] Download
psneuter: Download
Superuser: Download
busybox: Download
Unzip the downloaded files into the same folder
Open a terminal and change to the folder.
You need the android SDK and ADB working. To make sure type:
adb devices
if your device lists, then you are ready to go!
[edit] Gain Root
Run the following commands:
adb push psneuter /data/local/temp/psneuter
adb shell
chmod 755 /data/local/temp/psneuter
./data/local/temp/psneuter
ADB should hang, wait a little while and then type:
adb shell
NOTE: You should have the "#" sign instead of the "$". If you do, you have temporary root, and can continue on.
Type:
exit
adb push busybox /data/local/temp/busybox
adb shell
chmod 755 /data/local/temp/busybox
./data/local/temp/busybox mount -o rw,remount /system
The last command should return nothing

update i learned how to do the procedure and finished sucesfully however the phone is still not rooted. i did reboot the phone after it seems faster now but not rooted.i downloaded the root checker app and scaned the phone it emailed me a log and here is that log

is it even posible to root this phone?

i guess im not allowed to be helped or somthing.

i have a procedure here that i had to build up from 2 seperate write ups. i had to use this one http://androidforums.com/droid-all-...oid-without-rsd-lite-up-including-frg83d.html along with this one together http://wiki.rootzwiki.com/index.php/Motorola_Flipside to get it to root properly.
here is what i did. u will need the downloads from both links for this to work i beleive. follow the steps from the second link to gain root once u get to where the number simbole is shown in the command line u need to switch to the instructions in link 1 and start at step 13 and follow to the end. this works to root your flipside when nothing els will work at least for me it did none of the apps that are suposed to root for you worked for me.
thank you me for having to figure this out on my own have fun

Problem rooting
I rooted my Flipside at its stock state and it worked fine. And then I upgraded my software to 2.2.2 Froyo and lost the root so now I am trying to reinstall z4root and re-root the phone but z4root now doesn't work. It gets successfully installed but when I hit PERMANENT ROOT it just stays in that window with the turning wheel and gets stuck there. It doesn't completely root. I've tried the hard reset by pulling the battery, and hitting the back key and forced closing it and then trying it again. Nothing works! HELP!

I once had a flipside. I rooted it the stock rom and then updated to gingerbread and then rooted again. I used superoneclick though. I'm not sure which version, but there is (or was) a flipside forum here on xda with documentation on the entire process.

Really? I thought the only upgrade I can do to it is from stock to Froyo. How'd you do that? I'm sorry. I am totally untechie. :/

OMG I can´t Root!!!

Hello guys,
So, I am extremely frustrated with LG. Besides linger for a lifetime upgrade their phones, yet it seems to create some blocking to simple process root.
I've been researching on the web about the root of Optimus Black (the unit is good, what is bad is the LG) and all processes seem to be complicated.
I need help from you guys to see if I can finally give this blessed root to my device. He is with version 2.3.4 (just the model is P970h),the firmware is the V20a. I Want to apply a custom rom and play with it a bit, since LG has not given up any indicative of whether or not to launch the ICS on it (maybe who knows when Google launched Android 12.1, or the man get to Mars. ..)
I have faced some problems and I will report here to see if they can help me.
Problem # 1:
I can not under any circumstances recognize the phone on my pc (win vista home basic ¬ ¬).
I've tried everything. I downloaded the drivers directly with LG and nothing ... I downloaded the personnel that provided the xda forum and nothing ...The windows is insistently asking such a CDC serial driver (something of the sort ...) and the phone just not recognized.
Already installed, reinstalled the drivers and nothing! I have installed the LG PC sync and nothing to .. (Seems that my phone and my pc just does not want to share the same connection!)
I don´t have another pc (unfortunately) so I can´t install the drivers.
Simply for this reason I can´t install Clockworkmod, or do any procedure that requires root install drivers on pc (root unlock, blackjack, oneclick...)
2nd Problem:
I've been reading that there is a apk root tools for the phone, the Gingerbreak. But apparently this not works on my phone. It is infinitely loading and does not reboot.
I installed the 1.1 and 1.2 versions and nothing!
I run the Root Checker Pro App and get the log:
Root Access is not properly configured or was not granted.
Super User Applications Status:
Superuser application - version 3.1.3 - is installed!
SuperSU application - is NOT installed.

So can anybody help me to root my phone??

Don't have an LG, i have an Samsung and rooted with this app SuperOneClick (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=803682), and searching through the forum i saw this thread ( http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=22495442&highlight=optimus+black#post22495442 ), a user that succeeded root of an Lg Optimus Black.
But I only have an Samsung so I can't guarantee that will work.
Hope to have helped.
Best regards!

So,
I can´t connect my phone to my pc... I don´t know why!!

Anyone can help me?
Sent from my GT-P6800 using xda app-developers app

Here's what I did.
I was having the same problem, seemingly. I went to Android Central and learned about an app called kingo root.
First, I went to LG and downloaded the drivers for USB connection to my Win7 64 PC. After they loaded, I made sure the E980 was configured to install programs from PC via USB, instead of charge only. Also, I set debugging on. Then, I hooked up the USB cable. Then, a window came up asking if I wanted to use LG Programs, which I replied OK. Then it said I was connected successfully. Went to the PC, installed kingo root (google it) and it ran a program or two that rooted the device. Piece o' cake!
Since then, I downloaded freegee and twrp, rebooted into recovery and installed CM11. KitKat goodness!

those are okay just ignore your phone should be rooted now but will unroot if you reboot b/c write protection is still on. to be completely rooted (non-tethered) follow steps HERE.
