Root your T-mobile G2x
The T-mobile G2x is now available in stores as of today. Some people have already received it if ordered via online sales from a few days back. This thing is a pure beast of a phone, let’s root it.
I’m usually not too fond of one click root methods, but this really is the easiest way to do it on this brand new handset.
This assumes you have ADB already installed and working. The download links will require you to be a registered user on this site.
Download and install the LG drivers. LG has released the G2x drivers over at their site. Download and install those instead.- Enable USB debugging under Settings-Applications-Development on your G2x.
- Download and run Super One Click (v1.8).
- Hit the Root button and off you go.
[Update 4/22/2011] Added link to official LG drivers for the G2x.
after downloading this SuperOneClick.Zip file to my computer and attempting to run it on my computer, the file is always emty. Whats up with that? I’ve rooted many phones, I would much rather find “the hard way” to root this one…
I just redownloaded the file and I can un-pack it without any problems using 7zip. What unzip program are you using?
