[ROOT] G2x Root via SuperOneClick

UPDATE:
The SuperOneClick rooting method outlined in this thread currently only works for Android 2.2. It does not work with Gingerbread 2.3.3.
To root 2.3.3 -
1) Install CWM (ClockworkMod Recovery): http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1056847
2) Flash rooted ROM of your choice. Here is a stock rooted 2.3.3 ROM: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1179748
Here's a brief guide on how to root the T-Mobile G2x. This assumes that you already have adb installed. If you do not, a quick search will point you in the right direction
Note: I take no credit for rooting the G2x. I am not the developer of SuperOneClick, and this is a simplified version of a guide already posted by domi007 in the O2x forum (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=953182). I am just posting a guide in the G2x forum because no one else has yet.
1) Install ADB driver: http://www.junefabrics.com/bin2/LGDriver.exe
2) Enable USB debugging on your phone (Settings->Applications->Development), and connect your phone to your computer via USB.
3) Run SuperOneClick: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=803682
4) Choose the option "Root"
It's really that simple...enjoy
update:
jnichols959 has provided a simple solution to rooting the G2x for Mac and Linux users. We hope that keeping two separate threads will not add to forum clutter. On the contrary we think each thread will be less cluttered and therefore be more helpful to the end user.

I apologize for the Windows only solution I've posted. Since I moved in with my girlfriend, Windows has weaseled it's way back into my household. However, there was a time when I wouldn't let a Windows box come within 100 yards of my place of residence.

Thank you very much!
Edit: Thanks works really good!

Ha no problem. I can just install Parallels or Fusion today. I did manage to get SuperOneClick running on my mac using Mono. However, I don't see any way to install the LG drivers executable file on the Mac, so I doubt SOC will work in this manner without those drivers... not sure if I want to risk trying it.

GOOD! i wanted to know if it really worked with our phones! (without test myself)
thanks alot
NOW all i gotta do is hurry up and wait for m phone to get here (some time today.......GRRR)

Hey thanks for posting this! I currently own a G2, rooted with cm7. I'm planning on picking this beast up in-store on Wednesday and I'm already itching to root it and get a custom ROM on there.
One question though, does this method achieve a permanent root? My only experience with android thus far is the G2, which required an involved process to root. Is this phone just a lot easier to root for some reason??
And then as far as recoveries and ROM's I'm assuming those haven't been released for this phone yet, right??

Yes permanent root. This G2x is not as locked down as the G2, making the process a whole lot easier. And no, no recovery yet, just stay tuned to these forums.

Oh god yes

I already have ADB driver and SOC ready and I rooted few phones through this way.
It's good to know G2x can be rooted easily.
Rooted=no more junk!

Quick question for yall...this won't simunlock the phone will it?

Thanks a bunch.

Nope. It will not.

Received the phone today, rooted it within 5 minutes within hooking up to the computer using the superoneclick tool.

I think it took longer to install the drivers, and SuperOneClick than it did to root the phone.

Alright good to know. Just wondering than if yall have a general idea how long it usually takes a device to get an unlock with root, I am not sure because this would be the first phone for me that I am getting close to the release date.

SIM unlocking and rooting the phone are two totally different things.

If you want to SIM unlock this phone, you can call t-mobile after you have purchased the phone, give them the IMEI number, and in about 2 weeks they will email you the unlock code for the phone.

Mine will be here today sometime.

How do I get the SuperOneClick download, the site shortfuse.org page will not load Help, I really want to get this rooted. Thanks

[Q] Sorry, I'm new...

OK...I've read the Wiki and the Glossary, I've searched the forums, I've been obsessively reading this forum for a week, and I still have some very basic questions that I'm hoping someone can either point me to a link or just drop some info for me. I know many of you have been at this since the Dawn of Android, but sometimes I feel like I'm walking into my first day of med-school when everyone else has been here for 5 years. Assume for a moment that I am a tabula rasa where the rest of you are now writing in the margins of a dense technical manual. Because that's what it feels like for me.
First, some background info: I want to learn how to do all this stuff, but this phone was expensive! I don't want to break it. So I'm cautious. I'm not a programmer but I'm not technically inept. I am good at following directions. I don't panic when things go wrong. So I think I can root, flash, and all the fun stuff that comes with having an Android device. But I have some questions that are still unanswered. I'll try to be as concise as possible (too late, I know):
1) I have the SPH-D720 model. I see rooting guides for the I9020 but not the SPH-D720. Will those other guides work for my device? I've seen other people ask this same question get sent to BuglessPete's guide so I'm assuming so, but I want to be sure.
2) I know that GRJ90 and 2.3.5 just came out. My phone is updated to both. It looks like most of the root guides are still referring to 2.3.4 or 2.3.3. Should I wait until someone releases an updated 2.3.5 guide, or is the method still the same?
3) Backups...these are different than saved settings, yes? So when I root my phone (which apparently requires unlocking the bootloader now) I'm going to lose all of my apps/themes/settings, right?
4) Do any of the developers offer tech support?
I now throw myself to the mercy of the masses, prepared for flames, but hoping for help.

It's the same.
- fastboot oem unlock
- flash a custom recovery for your device (crespo4g) using fastboot
- boot into CWM, mount system and flash the su binary

No change unless you are trying to flash a modified boot.img for adb remount (this is not necessary if you merely want root access)

Yes, fastboot oem unlock wipes everything, including the SD card.

Thanks. So a follow up question then:
Is it possible to back up all of my settings and whatnot, and then quickly put them back after rooting the phone? No biggie if not, and since all of my contact info is on Google that sync happens automatically.

Another question - when I'm installing the sdk, do I need all the other stuff that it automatically selects or can I dump all that and just download the USB driver package?

You could use something like titanium backup, but watch what you restore as some things cause issues.

Awesome. I'm taking the leap now! So far, nothing screwed up...

So...I can't get the correct driver installed. In all the guides it says I should have the Bootloader Interface listed as the driver. But that is not one of my options - Allgamer's guide says there should be 3 choices, but I only have 2:
Android ADB Interface
and
Android Composite ADB Interface
How do I choose the Bootloader Interface?

You need to be in the bootloader on the phone I believe. I am new to the nexus s so I am not 100 percent sure.

Didn't work from the bootloader either - still showing Android ADB Interface.
I guess I'll uninstall everything and start from scratch.

A Different "Root Jelly Bean" question

This might belong in the other "[Root] Jelly Bean" thread - I'll leave that to the moderators to figure out.
Can anyone vouch for the veracity of this method?
tutznet. com/ root-asus-transformer-tf700-android-41-jelly-bean. html (forgive the extra spaces - I'm too new to be able to post a URL.]
Honestly, I read all 39+ pages of that thread mentioned above, and I'm not confident I know what to do, and in what order, so I'm leery of trying it out. A noob like me can easily create an expensive brick if I screw it up. But this one seems sort of "plug-n-play" and is appealing for that reason. If you folks here validate it, I might try it out.

The instruction is assumed that you already unlocked and have custom recovery installed. If you provide your setup we can help.
1. Are you unlocked?
2. Do you have custom recovery installed like either twrp or cwm?
3. What os version you are running currently? I assumed you're on JB?

Thanks for the offer of assistance. I bought the TF700 on ICS, and immediately did the following (based on advice I hopefully gleaned correctly from this board):
- Factory Data Reset three times (by booting with the volume key held down, etc.), even wtih nothing personal done to it (like add my name as Owner, or install anything).
- Loaded the full update downloaded from the ASUS site and flashed (correct term?) accordingly. Those instructions, at least, I could figure out.
- Another FDR.
- Used as normal on the current version of JB. I believe it had a minor JB upgrade shortly after that, which I let it perform through the "You have an update" process.
As it sits, the TF700 works quite well for me, but I use Titanium Backup on my Droid Razr Maxx (for which I rooted using one of those "automated root" programs that worked well), and I'd like to use it here. And Root File Manager (also found on the Droid).
As a noob, the instructions for that other method (using CWM and SuperSU) look like they presume too much knowledge on my part of what to install and when, and I'm leery of creating an expensive brick. For example, there is something in there about "fastboot," but that is completely over my head.

It's not that complicated, if you have someone leaded you. Again, I need you to answer the following question, so I can point you to the right direction; Do you plan to use custom rom/kernel? (if yes, you need to unlock your device, which void warantty) or you just want root?

All I want to do is root it. While I know there are some advantages to a custom ROM or Kernel, that's NOT what I forecast doing*. I plan to leave it on JB.
* = Caveat: Eventually ASUS will stop supporting this tablet, at which time I will probably look at custom ROMs if I still own it (and haven't EBay'd it).

Since you already on JB, the only way you could root is to downgrade back to ICS (version .30). Here is general guide line:
1. Download full package firmware .30 from Asus site
2. Then use root tool to root,
3. Download and installed SuperSU to replace the old superuser
4. Download Voodoo OTA root keeper to preserve root (If you have a paid SuperSU version, you just have to click on "preserve root" and it automatically saved root for you).
5. Let the OTA upgrade to JB
6. Once done, use root keeper to restore root.

[Q] Any safe/easyish way to root my Samsung GS3?

I know you're going to say use search function, but everything I keep finding is very complex and difficult, or the downloads are no longer available. And sometimes there's a disclaimer saying that doing it that way could brick the phone. I wanted to try oneclickroot but it doesn't seem to be available at this time. So obviously the question is whether or not there's a (somewhat) simple way to root my GS3. I rooted my Droid Incredible twice and it didn't take more than 5 steps and 10 minutes each time, it appears to be A LOT harder for the GS3, and it's pretty much scaring me out of trying it, out of fear of bricking my phone. Thank you!

It's super easy, just read and follow all of the steps. And there's always a chance of bricking your phone.
I followed this guide and it was very simple and straight forward but I was on ICS. JB is a little different.

There is only one way to root jb at this time. Bob linked you to the post. It really is not as hard sf out looks, Judy follow the steps and you'll be fine. One tip make sure you unplug before trying to boot into recovery
If I helped you in some way.... pass on the favor and help the next person!

I went from rooting my droid incredible to rooting this phone and while it is slightly more complicated, if you have a pc there's really no reason you can't do it by just following the instructions.

Odin is really not as scary as it seems. It's actually a pretty straight-forward, easy procedure once you have the hang of it. Just remember that everything on GS3 is flashed in the "PDA" section of Odin.

So I could brick my phone even if I follow the instructions perfectly? :\ That seems like a huge risk. Would that be covered under warranty lol?? I just got this phone a week ago.
And I have a few questions before I start. Where on my phone do I put the superuser and bootloader folders? The root of the phone? Or in a specific folder? And when I run the Samsung USB driver folder one of them keeps failing. It's called SAMSUNG_ANDROID_SCH-i535. Here's the error message. http://imgur.com/Z3RRp. My device isnt getting unplugged and it always fails. I tried 3 times.

I had issues installing the drivers too. I installed kies then connected my phone. After that all went smooth I re tried flashing via Odin and it worked perfectly. FYI I ran it on my wife's win vista 64bit system tho Odin runs fine on any current-ish windows.

I installed Kies and I'm still getting the device unplugged error. :\
And do you know where I would put the folder for the superuser and bootloader on my phone?
Edit: Nevermind I tried it again, but this time I waited 5 minutes after the error, not intentionally, I just never closed the box. And it starting downloading it again in another slot and then it worked...SCH-i535 Successfully Installed. Yay.
But I still need clarification on where to put the Bootloader and superuser files on my phone. Do I need to put them in downloads? Or in the root of my phone like on my old Droid Incredible. I don't wanna mess that part up.

I had them in my external card root directory. However it's doesn't really matter where you put the zip files as long as you know where you put them when you go to flash it. During the flashing process it installs them in the correct directory.
I'm new to the GS3 on Verizon, just got the phone Thursday, was rooted that night. Granted I'm coming from Sprint's GS2 so I'm familiar with Odin, however, just as pdykstra said, it's not as scary as it seems.

How to root after updating to 6.0 OTA (6045O)

I recently updated to marshmallow, and am currently trying everything to root it. I have done everything from trying to unlock bootloader in fastboot, to using apps such as kingroot and framaroot.... to no avail... can anyone help? It would be much appreciated!! Thanks!!!

I know you can't really do anything using MM, but can anyone help me flash stock firmware on my device? (I AM USING LINUX!!) I tried running the windows programs with wine.... Did not work...

Dropped my previous 6045O, Cricket variant on its screen on a bunch of gravel and cracked the screen. Since I am a klutz, I had taken out the insurance/phone replacement with Asurion. Received my replacement, and discovered it was loaded with MM, only, as others have noted, the fastboot commands are not there....
I've tried all the methods folks have offered, and, apparently Cricket is in collusion with Alcatel not to make it merely difficult to root and administer (worked entirely too many tech-support gigs... the uninformed tend to screw things up even with documentation), but to make it, seemingly at present, impossible. I'm stuck, and none of the previous methods have worked. (and, yes, I've read every applicable thread I see... at this point, nothing seems to work to root the beast. Since the ability's there by default to shove the apps that will allow themselves to be shoved to my 32GB SD.... that gets rid of my need for Link2SD, until the gentleman, Bulent Akpinar, gets around to recognizing that Marshmallow's been out a while. (paid for the Plus, and completely unusable, even as a widget, with the new Cricket variant of 6.0.1
I've tried the ROOT .rar, our other gentleman's Suite, and the various methods, and at this point, I'm just kinda lost.

Nobody searches the forums anymore ,it has been discussed in depth in many threads, you need to downgrade using eluga switch firmware to get back unlocked bootloader n fastboot, then install TWRP and then you can pick whatever rom you like... If you want stock MM with TWRP use the marionettes v1 MM rom, you loose LTE after using Eluga so you need to fix that also I have posted this link several times read all the threads attached and you will get there

Actually I did search before posting my comment, and I have the Eluga executable... after expanding it and trying to do the deed, it doesn't see the phone... I've got the OEM unlocking enabled in the Dev. options on my device...
I admit, though, I may not be doing something correctly, and will try it again.
--- edit ---
Silly me... didn't remember I had to have the phone off... for that matter, since it was a while ago that I rooted the previous one, and that it was running Lollipop 5.0.2, I didn't have to jump through as many hoops as with 6.0.1... Alcatel and Cricket don't make it impossible to do with this phone, as Cricket seems to specify with the ZTE device, and the LG Stylo... Just difficult, but not impossible. Working on it as we speak, and will respond in a bit.
BTW... was a little snarky that no one reads the columns... I obviously missed a few things, but I have read... just sayin'...

Actually I did search before posting my comment, and I have the Eluga executable... after expanding it and trying to do the deed, it doesn't see the phone... I've got the OEM unlocking enabled in the Dev. options on my device...
I admit, though, I may not be doing something correctly, and will try it again.

Is the phone off? You must have phone off so it can go into download mode.

Been referring to Alek Dev's (and others') instructions, have booted into the Panasonic rom, in the process of erasing, and will flash the rest going forward.
Thanks for the links, and I admit a "Doh!" about how to go into download mode... a few devices I'm kinda maintaining around here, and each seems to have a different button process to get there.
Thanks again, and I think I've got it from this point (with multiple tabs up in my browser for reference, of course...)

Sorry, if I seemed rude, been dealing with a few foster children, who want to push every button I have, lol teens.... was just in vent mode I guess....

No need to downgrade to LP, use Alcatel Flasher to flash twrp
Look at this: http://forum.xda-developers.com/idol-3/development/tool-sahara-firehose-test-alcatel-t3454855
install twrp and roo with supersu.zip. That all.

Isn't that still in beta status as test only? The dev has discontinued development?? I have never tried it as I believed it was just still conceptual... I will look into it further..... Was flashing ever implemented??

No, it's not a test, it work. You can read/write boot and recovery on 6039, 6045 and 6055 for all variants
Look at new howto made by decker.su: http://forum.xda-developers.com/idol-4s/help/howto-idol-4-6055-installing-twrp-t3486077
You Just have to choose "6045" in the app and twrp recovery for 6045

I used the Panasonic eluga software lol.... That program didn't work for me at all...
