Can't unlock LG Optimus 2X from Wind

Hey guys,

Just picked up a brand new LG Optimus 2X from Wind. Tried getting some unlock codes from trusted sellers on eBay but have not had any success. The seller sent me 5 codes to try and none worked. I'm down to only 3 attempts left.

Has anyone found out anything about having this software unlocked?
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xeni:
hey guys I currently have a captivate and my upgrade is due on the 24th. As some of you may know the captivate is almost unbrickable (usb jig) and I am looking to try all different kinds of ROMs.

My Question is how brickable is the Atrix? I read that you can recover from a soft brick, but how about a hard brick (is it possible)?

Thanks and sorry for re-post if this has already been asked but I couldn't find an answer.
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kennethpenn:
The Atrix is similar in that we have Motorola SBF files if you bork your phone (soft brick).

I've seen where people hacked skype to use the 3g connection for skype but is there anyway to use internet pass through. When i try to call someone it says i must be on wifi. I want to use this because when i make a call on skype using wifi it works but it disconnects, it could be after 2 minutes or after an hour. I'll have to close skype and reopen it then call the person back. Also when i'm in a conference call on skype with 2 other people it will only stay connected for a few minutes.

I tried putting cockworkmod 3.0.0.4 onto my epic but nothing happened the first time I tried it. I had usb debugging on before so I know its not that.... but now it won't even recognize my phone when I click run in the oneclick root fle.

Should I reset my phone and try it again? If so how do I do that...

Do you have the Samsung drivers installed? If no then download and install them, if yes then redownload and reinstall them.
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] KennyG123:
Is your data cable good? Can you get into mass storage? Why Clockwork 3.0.0.4? Go with 3.0.0.6, it is much more compatible with most ROMs. And make sure you have an EXt4 compatible ROM ready to flash after the file system conversion.
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] allheilkingmatt:
I had a similar issue with mine. If you have the current drivers installed, and a better USB cable, it seems there's not a whole lot else you can do besides cross your fingers. I tried mine on 2 different computers (work and home). My home computer, which CWM has never liked in the past, was the one that did the trick. Had to experiment with different USB slots, and restarting the computer every time it didn't work. Also don't know if it makes a difference or not, but the CWM version I finally got to work was from the links in the youtube how to video for SyndicateROM - Frozen (not the links the syndicate guys provided) . Good luck!

I had to use an old XP machine for my first one-clock root/CWM install. None of my win7 machines would work.

Not sure why, but now the win7 machines work fine. Using the same drivers on all of them.

Again, it's a shot in the dark, but have you tried an XP computer?
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Nolyrics2:
Here are a few things you could try:

1) First you need to have the Android SDK installed on your computer. This will allow you to access your phone through adb which is required in order to install any version of CWM. You can download the SDK from here, developer.android.com/sdk/index.html

2) Next you have to set up the environment variables which will allow you to use adb to connect to your phone. This is a very important step and it must be done correctly. Here is a You Tube video which walks you through the process, youtu.be/b1qgKA_eT2g

3) Once you have those two steps completed you can begin to install CWM. Here is another You Tube video for that portion, youtu.be/cFrA__9bURo

Troubleshooting tips:

1) Make sure that you have the correct drivers installed on your machine. If you can connect you phone and access the SD card then you have the proper drivers already installed. If your unable to access the SD card then you may have a problem with the drivers.

2) Make sure that your plugging in the USB cable directly into the back of your computer. DO NOT plug it into any type of USB hub or the front of your machine.

3) If it is not being detected in one of the USB ports, unplug and try another.

**Im unable to post links at the moment so you will have to copy and past the youtube and other links into another browser window to access the web pages**

Good Luck
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Top Nurse:
1. You don't need the SDK to install CWM.

Tips: start here first and these should fix your problem.
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Nolyrics2:
Taking a look in the CWM3.zip folder it looks like the program bundles adb within the program. I may have been incorrect in stating that you need to install the SDK onto your machine.

I have been rooting different Android phones for over a year now (I still dont claim to know everything) and the SDK has been installed on my machine ever since then. My previous phone required the SDK in order to root and I just assumed that was still needed for CWM3.

Thanks for the correction Top Nurse.

Any luck getting CWM onto your phone jsoileau2?
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] herbthehammer:
It was not too clear if you had root already or you was trying to run one click a second time. If you do have root, try dl rom manager from market then let it install cwm for you. Win7 people try using the 32bit drivers.

If you downloaded one click 2.5.5, it has all the files you need to root and install cwm 2.5.1.0. No need to set up sdk stuff, it's all in the zip of one click. Also try reboot computer and phone if adb isn't seeing the phone. Try different usb port on computer if rebooting doesn't help.

Try turning off any antivirus program you might be using.
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] KennyG123:
Don't use Rom Manager, there are many problems with it on the Epic.
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] herbthehammer:
I don't know if it makes any difference but I've always went to start, run, cmd, cd to directory where one click is, then run.bat

Sometimes it is necessary to be at a command prompt instead of just clicking on the file. I don't know if this is one of those instances or not.
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ErlyD:
Rom manger doesn't install the cwm (well on epic it tries to.) But it does download it. Try it.

Then boot into recovery and install zip from /sdcard/clockworkmod/download/mirrorbrain.cynogenmod.com/ and the cwm zip will be there.

Install it.

It worked for me.

Ok when I first bout my phone about 6 months ago or less...my screen was very bright. Now I am starting to notice vertical dark lines across my screen, and the screen is noticiby allot less brighter than before...my 2nd gen itouch has a brighter screen that will blind u compared to my phone. Ive been running on overstock kernel eversince it came out so it is not the kernel.. I think my screens pixels r dieng:( also the dark lines r not noticable unless u got one big bright plain background:( but this is bad quality control:(
[Vibrant General] Monk4Life:
With the amount of galaxy s phones produced I think this has been darn good quality control. And i bet your itouch doesnt produce the great blacks that our vibrants have. If you have only had it for 6 months then you still have 6 months warranty left so send it in and get it fixed.
[Vibrant General] iynfynity:
in that 6 months, do you always use full brightness?

Sorry but as fantastic as Super Amoled looks initially, it quickly fizzles out, and is prone to burn in.

check this thread out

[Vibrant General] heygrl:
SuperAMOLED doesn't have burn-in, but rather serious image retention.. so if you leave a screen on it will leave a retained image but you can get rid of it by playing back lots of video or full screen games.

I haven't had any problems with my Super AMOLED display or my Vibrant in general besides the GPS antenna thing which in my account is a flaw of design and not poor quality control.

[HD2 General] koolxx:
i got static on my hd2 when i make calls. it was suggested that i change the radio rom to hopefully eliminate the static. i've never modded an hd2 phone before. i got a stock 6.5 on it. i hope its possible to change the radio rom without modding the stock 6.5. how do i change the radio rom? what are the steps?

i ask ONLY serious ppl to reply, no trolls or negative ppl.
[HD2 General] T-Macgnolia:
You change the radio just like you do a ROM you can flash it via USB are flash it via SD card. Download thw Radio you want to flash and put your HD2 into bootloader by holding down the volume doen button while powering on your HD2. Connect it to you computer via USB and wait for the Serial in the white bar of bootloader to change to USB and then flash the radio.

Be adviced though with a stock ROM if it is a 3.14 ROM these ROMs are ver dependant of what radio version you have on the phone. They need a 2.15.50.14 or 2.14.50.02 radio. If you want to use any lower radio version than these you will need to flash a custom ROM, but they may still give you issues as most of the very resent custom ROMs are based of 3.14 stock ROMs

Do not forget my wartning from my other post about what radio versions not to flash.
[HD2 General] samsamuel:

[HD2 General] koolxx:
listen, stop f***ing harassing me already!!! no one has an attitude, the only one with it is you! you harassed me on the other thread and youre on the verge of getting banned on this one!! get off my thread!!
[HD2 General] koolxx:
hi, T-Macgnolia. good to hear from u again. ok, i read your message on my other thread. below are my current specs. but honestly, this phone shouldnt make any static calls whatsoever. its brand new. it should make CLEAR calls right out the box and i shouldnt have to flash it with any roms as a result.

os version: 5.2.21913 (21913.5.0.94)

manila version: 2.5.20181424.0

rom version: 3.14.531.1 (04666) WWE

rom date : 9/29/10

radio version: 2.15.50.14

protocal version: 15.42.50.11W

it looks like i got the most current version of the radio and stock rom.

but to be honest, all this flashing sounds risky and complicated. i already owned TWO hd2s and they gave the same static. i sent the 1st one to htc for repair TWICE and it came back unrepaired. i bought a 2nd hd2 and it had the SAME static. at this point, i cant beleive that any hd2s are static free. are you guys sure u dont have static everytime someone talks on a call?

also, this loser, samsamuel, is harassing me and i dont know why!! i STRONGY urge u to ban this guy from my thread and any of my future threads. he harassed me in my prior thread and hes creating problems on this one.
[HD2 General] samsamuel:
Lol, I was calling you on your bad attitude, not harassing you but enough said, I'll not post in your thread again.

Best of luck with your defective Leo.
[HD2 General] ASCIIker:
lol "i'm not paranoid, they really are out to get me!" :D

i just want to add a few things:

1. you shouldn't HAVE to mess with your device. in an ideal world, it should work out of the box. but such is life...

2. the rest of us don't HAVE to help you...but we do, and for free! mind you, samsamuel's thoughts and posts are valuable and insightful, and i guess any "attitude" you received was probably well placed because your conclusion in your previous thread was based on statistical evidence when we all know that "correlation doesn't imply cause and effect". finally, your "how to change radio ROM" query has already been well answered and well documented on these forums, just search and read!

and now for the thread topic:

1. having the latest version of the radio doesn't mean it is the best version for your combination of network+location.

2. i honestly don't know for sure why you get static on every hd2 you have owned. the odds of getting a lemon so many times in a row are astronomical! mine works just fine. a friend and i brought our hd2s together from the same guy on the same day. his hd2 works fine also. my uncle has two hd2s, both of his work fine. another distant relative has an hd2, and given the pattern, you'd be correct if you guessed that his works fine too. no static on any of these hd2s!

3. are you using a TMOUS sim in the phone? have you tried another sim? have you tried demonstrating the problem to a TMOUS representative in-person?

4. is the device sim free, i.e. can you try another network's sim in your device? worth a shot...might be a long standing network/tower problem in your area.

anyway, cool down dude, don't be all paranoid, no one is harassing you in the true sense of the word...just slightly using the "stick" approach to nudge you into doing more reading and research of your own. it sure beats the whole process of posting->waiting->getting harassed->posting some more->waiting->so on. cheers :D
[HD2 General] koolxx:
T-Macgnolia i'll be sending you a private message about this troll.. please read.
[HD2 General] koolxx:
i dont want your help.. dont comment on my thread anymore.
[HD2 General] T-Macgnolia:
Member ASCIIker is correct as it could be your SIM card giving you issues as the HD2 has been know to act kind of funky with some SIM cards. I would see about getting a new SIM card and see if that may solve your issue. You have the current up to date ROM and Radio on your HD2 so it is more than likely a issue with something besides the HD2. Try the a new SIM and then post back here with the result.

Cheers
[HD2 General] koolxx:
hi, magnolia.. i tried a different sim, which was a pre-paid sim, and i still get static everytime someone talks on the other end of the call.
[HD2 General] T-Macgnolia:
Damn that sucks man. Have you tried taking your SD card out maybe you got something funky going on with it as I have heard of some people taking their SD card out and it solving weird problems like this.

I assume since you said it was a prepaid card you do have your HD2 SIM unlocked, Ialso know you-know-what what SIzm unlocking is as you talked about it in the first thread I seen you in.

If trying different radios and another SIM card has not helped I am not really sure what could be the issue, unless there is just a bad cell tower or something in your area that is only malfunctioning on the GSM bands the HD2 uses. I find it hard to believe you were unlucky enough to get two HD2s that had the same issue causing static. Not saying it could not happened but the chances astronomical.

Have you tried different radios? It has been busy for my this week and I forget if you have.
[HD2 General] koolxx:
Hi, T-macgnolia. I really need to update my radio ROM. But based on my current stock ROM of 3.14, I’m limited to only 2 specific radio ROMS. I’m using one of them and obviously, I’m still getting distortion on calls. As a result, I want to install a custom ROM to install a lower version radio ROM that’ll hopefully remove distortion from calls. As I said before, I’ve never modded an htc phone before.

Since I got a TMOUS phone, you said not to install the following cuz I may brick it:

Leo_RADIO_15.36.50.07U_2.09.51.03 **(from HTC **1.72)

Leo_RADIO_15.31.50.07U_2.07.51.05 **(from HTC **???? )

Leo_RADIO_15.30.50.07U_2.06.51.07 **(from HTCWT 1.61)

Leo_RADIO_15.28.50.07U_2.05.51.05_2 (from HTC ** 1.48)

Leo_RADIO_15.26.50.07U_2.04.50_22_2(from HTC ** 1.43)

Anyway, what custom ROM do you suggest I install for my TMOUS so that i can install the right radio ROM on it? I want one that looks exactly like WM 6.5. also, can you provide the steps needed to install a custom ROM on my SD card.. thank you.
[HD2 General] koolxx:
Oh wow, sorry T-Macgnolia. i failed to see your last reply to me before I sent you my last post to you. i havent tried a different radio ROM yet becuz i need your advice on that before i proceed. can you please read my last post to you concerning the steps and installation of radio ROMS? I'd HUGELY appreciate it. as a reminder, i got a locked TMOUS phone.

I'll await your reply.. thanks again man!!.
[HD2 General] T-Macgnolia:
Yes do not flash any of those radios to your HD2 as they will brick your HD2, no might to it, they will brick it. look at the numbers I have highlighted and this is what you look for in radios that will brick a TMOUS HD2, any 2.05.50.xx radio will brick it too.

Ok the one ROM that comes to my mind when you say you want a ROM that is close to stock id the Energy ROMs as the ROM chef NRGZ28 has multiple ROM versions in that thread, all of wich IO highly recomend you just have to pick your flavor. Here is a link to the Energy ROM thread if you want to look at screen shots of all the ROMs as you might find one you like more than the ones he has that are close to stock. Here is a link directly to the post #3 which has the close to stock ROMs in it, you will probably want to go with the Eergy version are the Reference version from this post. to download click on the American flag and then select the most current version of the ROM you want.

Here is something you need to know it will help you know wich download to click on when you go to hotfix from clicking on the flag. This comes straight from post #1 of the Energy ROM thread, I added the red and blue writing to help you understand.

Click on my guide in my signature to learn how to flash HSPL to your HD2 as you will have to have it to flash a custom ROM. It has a link to where you download HSPL and complete instructions on how to flash it.

Almost forgot go to here to learn how to flash via SD card.
[HD2 General] koolxx:
hi, T-Macgnolia. thanks for the info. i got a question. i like the 'Reference 21916 build' ROM. but, i dont like the big soft keys (action and menu) at the bottom. i like the way the soft keys look on the stock wm 6.5. can i customize it to make the bottom look exactly like the bottom of the stock wm?

do you know if this ROM is the latest version?

also, hows the battery life on this ROM? i need to make sure that this ROM doesnt drain the battery... this is very important for me.
[HD2 General] Tachi91:
WM6.5 Stock uses an older Windows Mobile Build.. Build 6.5.3 I believe was the when it started to be more finger friendly and in turn has the larger buttons.. So if you like how the older build looks then look for roms that have that version of WM6.5

Look in the WM6.5 Themes you might find something you like

As for Battery Life.. It all depends many factors... Some say the latest Radio has a higher battery usage while others say the complete opposite.. You must check which combination of Radio/ROM fits your location the best and if the battery is decent enough to stick with.. That why most people start out thinking they wont flash roms, but once they start having problems or want better performace they change their mind
[HD2 General] conantroutman:
21916 will give you start menu in the top left corner without the big ugly softkeys... thats the other build number.

It only shows that in the pic as it seems to be the most popular version.

Battery life with energy roms tends be less than some other roms as they are optimised for speed. Battery life is by no means bad though. You should still be able to make it through a full day without worrying about running out of juice. That said, there are other roms which will give you better battery life if this is a huge issue for you.

Also, not sure if this has been mentioned yet but when trying out different radios its apparently a good idea to test it out for at least 48hrs before you decide if its making a difference or not.....
[HD2 General] T-Macgnolia:
Yes koolxx as canantroutman posted the 21916 ROM will give you the same soft keys at the bottom and the same start key at the top like the stock ROMs do.The ROM you like the Reference ROM is based of the latest stock ROM so yes it is the latest ROM. So far as battery life goes I can not give any first hand feed back on this as AI have not used that ROM. What I can do though is refer you to member facdemol's "Various ROMs power consumption" thread, link is below. If you go and read his first post you can see from his test resoults that all ROMs use just about the same power as far as power consumption goes, but he does say that all around the Energy ROM does best on power consumption. Go check the thread out it is a very informative thread and project he is working on.

[HD2 General] conantroutman:
@T-Macgnolia

Thanks for that link, hadnt seen that one before.........

Im still not convinced that energy roms would give the best battery life though. I guess there are a lot of factors involved in trying to measure such a thing.

Ive recently moved over to the "Elegancia" rom and I'm seeing an improvement in battery life compared to the energy series.

That said, so many things could affect the way in which power is consumed that I think its nearly impossible to say "This rom has better battery life than this ROM"...

I guess like most things its just a matter of trial and error.

I would tend to trust facdemols findings though, guy seems to know his stuff.
[HD2 General] koolxx:
thanks, T-Macgnolia. i was checking out Dutty's custom stock ROMs. but theyre based on 3.14. at this point, i'm confused. i dont see a custom 6.5 stock ROM that is an older version than 3.14 that is compatible with older radio versions. i need help..
[HD2 General] T-Macgnolia:
The 3.14 ROMs are 6.5 ROMs, 6.5 is the version of Windows Mobile O. The 3.14 ROMs are just the ROM version of 6.5 for HD2.

I will try to clarify a little better for you. You have multiple versions of the Windows Mobile OS, 6.5 is just the most recent version. you also have 6.5.1, 6.5.3, and 6.5.5. But they are all classified under 6.5.

You have different version ROMs for 6.5, 3.14 is the latest Rom version for 6.5.

Hope that clears things up some for you. Also why exactly do you want older ROM version? I am going to send you a PM with my Yahoo ID so we can use Yahoo messenger also if that is cool.
