Hi, I`m with my first Android and tried to root it using this tutorial (i'm with stock rom):
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1327599
Everything seemed to work fine, but it never asked me for root permission and each program that needs it, tells me that I have no root access.

u have a GB device?which one?V20L/M?
Yeah. Stock V20l. I've got all the right messages, done everything as it saids. But when no program gives me root access.
I forgot to say... I bought this from someone who said that had already rooted it, but I couldn't get root access so I tried this tutorial.

Do you have the ROM Manager installed? if yes...switch on wifi and select the clockworkmod choosing the LG Optimus2X and wait for it to be flashed.
Do you get that the apps dont have root access?

ROM manager says that I cannot select clockworkmod cause I haven't got root permission
I've tried the tutorial to get root access a dozen times. In all of them things seems ok, but when I open apps that need root access, they tell me I don't have it.

Personally i think that there is some problem....try rebooting both your computer and the O2X and then restart the rooting process....before that read the thread a bit carefully...might be you are missing something...the rooting process normally works good...
I tried this one and think it worked.

More problems...
Root Check Basic says it's rooted;
Busybox installer also says it's rooted. It installs but if I open it again it says Busybox isn't installed.
Titanium Backup says it isn't rooted. FasterFix also.
Is there anyway to go back to zero and do it all again?
Update superuser. Reboot then try again..

I am just trying to unroot the ROM provided by tantrums, but I think I need help, cause I dont know, which symlinks I need to remove, and if I maybe forgot any file, that could show them, that it's rooted.
I ll upload the ROM and maybe Redy or Gabz or another Pro can have a look at it
Follow THIS thread
Hope the other guys will help me soon, so you can unroot your phone and bring it to service

I read in this topic that it doesn't work, but thanks anyway. Im waiting for the unrooted stock rom from NOOBY.
Now using CM10
Previously used Zeus ROM..
At times of using Zeus, I successfully installed Stock ROM (rooted or non-rooted) whatever I wanted without problems.
But after using CM10, when installing with smartflash tool the stock ROMs, I am getting bootloop...
waiting for good solution...

You definitly made a mistake somewhere. Try the v20s bin/fls files from my noob how to, since they also work for me. Did you wipe everything when you were in recovery + flash superuser.zip? Unroot ROM is ready, but you need CWM to flash it and will lose all kind of root access.
how can i rearrange ap.bin files? lg extract 0.2 wont work so i used p970 rom converter. but the bin files arent in ascending order.

Do it manually (look in dev section for the manual tool). Extract all files, rename file0.bin to file00.bin, file1 to file01,... Then merge the file (also in the thread of the tool), inject cwm with the command in the thread and flash it. That s it. Now go and search the thread in devsection. If you have any more questions, come back.

You can install roms of P970, but you shouldnt, since your phone specs are different. So dont do it, or look in the korean forums, I am quite sure, you ll also find custom ROMs there.
You should be able to delete apps via TB now.

Hello, i've just bought a stock SGS+, with stock rom and recovery. I'd like to install 4.2.2, and my problem is that the phone is still on warranty. Will my warranty be void if I install CWM (I know it will if i install custom roms, but that can be easily reverted to stock), and if it will, can i return to the stock recovery in any way later? Thanks for help and sorry for my bad english

Type *#1234# and write down what you seen in screen. Inorder to claim the warranty you must need that to return to the exact stock Rom which your phone was shipped with. Also take precautions before you start flashing. Take backup of efs and persist. Once you lost these files you can't get them back.
Always be prepared to face an unexpected brick/bootloop/freeze/random reboots etc. Get ready with all the informations to overcome these situations. Happy flashing..
Edit : Flashing stock Rom will overwrite all the previous custom installations. And revert to the stock. Don't worry. There will be stock recovery.

Hey man, thanks for the reply! So, if just download the right rom (Build Info : Tue Feb 21 11:10:17 KST 2012 i suppose), and install it through CWM, will it delete CWM and revert to stock recovery?

No. You have to flash stock Rom via Odin. The details of which you can be found herehttp://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1922505.

Hey, one more question - when I install CWM can I install 4.2.2 straight away from 2.3.6? Or do I have to do something more?
And which one is better, CWM or TWRP?

Yea you can install. But don't forget to wipe data, wipe cache and wipe dalvic cache before installing the zip.
I am using CWM 6.0.3.2 and not facing an issue with it. Haven't used TWRP yet... so can't comment about it. Those who are using says its good.
Really thanks for all the help man! Btw, I see that you're using liquidsmooth, same one that i'm planing to get. How's it running?

Hey, once again I have a question. I want to be fully prepared, so i found a tutorial as illustrated as possible, and I would like to ask if it's a good one - http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1776095
Also, is the stockification process the same, but with stock ROM package, or is something different?

It;s a brilliant tutorial. Explained there is a method installing CWM, Rooting and Deodexing of untouched stock ROM users.
You can use the same method as explained in CWM installation using Odin to revert back to stock. Only one difference, instead of that recovery image you have to select the stock ROM image.
Give a Big thanks to Broodplank1337 for such a wonderful tutorial.:good:
Thanks for all the support man ^^
In the tutorial i see CWM v5.5.0.4, and you have 6.0.1.3, and on one thread (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1843825) I've seen that there is 6.0.2.6 already, but they're .zip, not .tar. I should flash 5.5.0.4 with Odin first and then install new CWM .zip through CWM, am I right? And when i'm revering to stock, do i have to download the right firmare, or can i just backup my own? Or if I backup it with CWM will it lose the stock recovery?
And also, I can't find any /efs /persist backup tutorial :C Sorry for all your time taken, but perhaps you have any link? Thanks again
Recovery
Well when i need waranty i just need to restore the rom but what about recovery ? can i leave it on CWM 6

Yes you can install CWM 5.5.0.4. If you are looking for a newer version, you can use Alireza7991's CWM 6.0.3.2(thanks to him). you can find both .tar and .zip files there.
When reverting to stock, you have to download any stock. If it's for warranty purposes, you need to download the one for your region.
In order to flash the stock rom, you have to use odin, not CWM.
Here is how you can backup your /efs and /persist
Good luck.

As i said before, when you flash the stock, all your previous customizations will also lost. After that there will be only stock recovery.
Thanks again for all the answers, still got one question - when is the possibility of losing efs or persist? During rom flash or CWM flash? Can i flash the CWM without the risk of losing esf?

Risks will be there all the time. No one can assure you that any step or method is 100% fool proof. That's why all the developers in here underlying that "Try it your own"., they take no responsibility of any damages.
I can only assure you one thing. If you are in any trouble, the awesome Devs in here will do their best to sort it out. :thumbup:

I mean, when comes the risk of losing these partitions (even after successfull flashing), after flashing CWM or after flashing rom? I'm asking that because i have to root the phone to backup them, and the easiest way to root is to install the .zip through CWM

Hello.
I was experiencing the same problem after rooting 14.3.A.0.757 on my Xperia Z1. I searched the forums and found that the problem is due to Sony's RIC service. Correct me if I am wrong. Updating to the latest XZDualRecovery will solve the problem.
This is what I did: (I am assuming you have a working rooted 14.3.A.0.757)
Download the latest flashable zip from NUT's XZDualRecovery thread in Cross-Device Development and flash it via recovery. You have now upgraded your recovery to the latest version. Now you can mount system partition with r/w.
