[Root] Z4Root
- Thread starter kennethpenn
- Start date
I used Z4root on two samples of the 2X, no issues what so ever. These were however pre-release roms, but I couldn't imagine any differences from the final release.
And yes, it's permanent. I had some app testing to do and tried Z4root just for fun and it worked like a charm.

I'm holding the 2x in my hand right now and unrooted it. (didn't try adb on it for confirmation but tried clocksync, which refused access (superuser has disappeared as well). Rerooting at the moment.
Once again this is a pre relase rom so I can't guarantee that the final ROM will have the same functionality.

Good news dave. My understanding is that the main issues with the Optimus 2x so far have been regarding the massive amount of bloat apps as well as some instability in day to day operations (browser and messaging seems to crash from time to time).
Are you experiencing these? Would you be able to remove some of the bloat apps and see if it breaks anything in the LG rom?

UHOH!
I'll take a look at it, I've got an early version of the 2x which I'll try to push the new system dump to. I've rooted it and while using adb shell it looks like I've bricked it! uhoh!
Bricking a pre-production version of the best phone on the planet isn't quite what I wanted to do! I'm stuck in a boot loop and I manage to get a limited connection when booting it into the bootloader. However, probably because of pre-production status, the bootloader will let me go up and down using the volume keys, but it won't let me select any of the options!
When in the bootloader, I do have some type of recognized connection via the PC. DDMS recognizes the phone, ADB doesn't let me access it.
I'll chill on doing anything to the "good" phone for now (hope you understand)... but if I get the bricked one started, I'm back in the game
.
Feel free giving me tips or trix to get it up and running.

Have you tried using the power button or one of the other buttons to select an option in the bootmenu?
Do you have a temporary root? After z4root locks? I tried with a later rom and got the same issue. However after accessing it with ADB shell it clearly has root "#" is showing and I have permissions I otherwise wouldn't have. However it seems like the root is temporary. Weird thing... I'll continue hunting for alternative solutions.
BTW, my other X2 may rest in peace. After a friend helping me out we managed to get the phone into fastboot, the kernel must have been intact, the system was completely wiped. Pushed the system through ADB and rebooted. Now we can't get it into fastboot at all... RIP ;(

Wow, sorry to hear your loss...sad story.
Anyway, I heard that it is possible to root 2.2.1 devices with Super One Click, but I can't get my Optimus 2x connected to adb, somehow Windows 7 doesn't wanna install the downloaded Google USB Drivers...
The reason Z4root doesn't work on firmwares 2.2< is that the exploit it uses to gain root rights has been fixed in those newer versions
After update OTA to version LS670ZVC, machine is unable to be rooted at this time. I am sure someone is working on it.
I returned this previously rooted phone Saturday feb 12 for replacement due to HW fault. Got new phone home and saw the phone was auto-updating to the LS670ZVC version. Which kept me from using Zroot as I did in the past. Drat! Tried many tricks found on other android forums to try and root.
The skinny of it is, if this update was applied OTA, we are SOL for now. If you updated using LG software via computer, you can root it still. If you haven't updated from version 9, don't do it until an exploit is released.

I have another thread going on this same issue. I have tried using superoneclick. Even though everything looked ok it didn't make a difference. Did a root checker it said busybox was ok and I know that SU is ok. Just looks like they "fixed" the exploit for now...

Mmmm, sad about the old one, however I got my second device so I'll unroot my it and then try the SuperOneClick option.. I'll let you know. Once again this is a sample but the rom is dated from 2010-12-14 so it must be quite close to production ROMs.
