um...we all appreciate your help, but if you followed the steps in the thread you quoted you won't have this problem and wasting time.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] slycog:
The fact that you're seeing multiple devices pop up leads me to believe that you're not able to actually get the device into APX mode.

It's possible but unlikely that the method for getting the device into APX mode is different for your model.

APX Mode:

Unplug the phone

Remove the battery

While holding both volume keys, connect the phone via usb to your computer

When the phone is in APX mode, only one device will show up in the device manager and the screen on the phone should remain black.

Fastboot (SW Update) Mode:

Unplug the phone

Remove the battery

While holding the volume down key, connect the phone via usb to your computer

It's also worth mentioning that some weird bugs exist with the usb driver stack in windows, simply changing the port you're connecting to on your pc may yield different results.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] exonix:
I know my way around electronics, like everyone has mentioned this is some sort of prototype device. taking the battery out, holding down both volume buttons and inserting the USB cable does nothing whatsoever.

However, holding just the volume down button and inserting the USB cable goes into S/W update mode.

Thats the problem, taking the battery out, holding down both volume buttons and inserting the USB cable does nothing whatsoever on the phone or the computer.

However, holding just the volume down button and inserting the USB cable goes into S/W update mode.

I've tried all my USB ports and the same results occur.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] exonix:
guys i got it to work!

will upload results soon

it looks like this is going to be a huge upload.... thing is taking forever to retrieve all the data
[T-Mobile LG G2x] jboxer:
No Gingerbread can be rooted with super one click. That's a known fact. Gingerbread fixed the exploits super one click used to obtain root.

Glad to hear that. Looking forward to results.

I was going to tell you you were doing wrong with the APX drivers but it seems you figured it out. For the benefit of others out there I still will. The APX driver must be manually installed. You go into device manager, go to usb devices, find the APX device with the explanation mark, click on it and select reinstall drivers and then navigate to the folder where the APX drivers were downloaded and unzipped. Then say YES when it says to install the uncertified drivers.

You don't know he has different partitions. More than likely they are the same as the hardware is identical to the P999 including the baseband chip. Simple Mobile uses both AT&T and T-Mobile and more than likely this device will be on TMO's network. I believe the hardware is identical and the partitions are the same.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] tahahawa:
At this lower level, it may be slower pulling or pushing files.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] jboxer:
If he didn't have APX drivers installed until just now that means he never tried to install Clockworkmod via NVFlash as we suggested. He tried installing it with ROM Manager which of course would not work since he was not rooted. It still needs root to fake flash as it hides its files in one of the system directories. I still believe that would have worked if he had tried it. I gave links to threads, etc. Hopefully this NVFlash backup method works and we finally get to see the system image of 2.3.4. Should be easy to make a ROM out of that.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] tahahawa:
I was talking about NV flash how he said it was taking a long time to backup.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] jboxer:
I know what you were referring to. Sorry if my post was confusing. Just was commenting on other issues also.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] exonix:
7 GB worth of data.... zipping it up now, upload might take a bit.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] jboxer:
The NAND is only 1gb. How can it be 7gb of data? Did he back up the internal sd card also?
[T-Mobile LG G2x] exonix:
ugh.. .it was installed...

let me redo it.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] tahahawa:
All partitions on the nand including the internal sd. Half a gb for system about, data 1.5gb, internal sd 5gb=7gb.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] jboxer:
I'm not talking about external sd card, the internal pseudo sd card memory. If you have a lot of data on it that would most likely be the largest partition. Is it all one file or a separate file per partition? If the external card was in also, just remove the two largest from your zip. No reason to redo. All we want are the system partitions.

If only one huge partition delete that from zip and upload the rest.

Thanks.

[T-Mobile LG G2x] exonix:
you know what I just installed CWM and did a backup using that, will that suffice?
[T-Mobile LG G2x] jboxer:
To be honest have no idea what that means and how we are going to get the system image out of a .bin file. Just upload the files and hopefully the guy that wrote you the vbx program to do it will know how to extract the images we want.

Did you ever try to install Clockworkmod through NVFlash as was suggested earlier on in the thread? If you didn't have APX drivers intalled then I am assuming that you never did that.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] tahahawa:
Yes please. Just don't upload data.img or data.????.tar. That would not be good for you.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] jboxer:
Yes that is what we have wanted when you first posted about this device. The file will be on your sd card in the Clockworkmod directory. Using a file manager such as ASTRO go to the _ExternalSD that will show under /mnt/sdcard/. Then go to the clockworkmod directory and then the backup directory. Copy out the entire folder in backup and zip it up and post to a file sharing service please.

Thank you very much.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] exonix:
ok, i deleted data.img from the file.

uploading now.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] jboxer:
It is "data.ext3". You can exclude that if you want from the zip.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] exonix:
no, data.img
[T-Mobile LG G2x] exonix:

Thanks downloading now.

Who is going to be the brave soul and flash this system image onto their device first. My G2X is my main device so I rarely wipe it and flash it. Where is PHBurks when you need him? He loves to flash stuff.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] exonix:
i have 4.0.1.5
[T-Mobile LG G2x] tahahawa:
Since there's no data.img, might require a dummy one and a change to the nandroid.md5. I'll do that tomorrow, 3 in the morning here.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] jboxer:
I have unpacked the system image and zipped it back up. It is uploading to multiupload right now. I will post link when it is done. With the unpacked system image I can make a CWM flashable rom if anyone is interested. Can have it up within an hour or so if someone wants to flash it and give it a whirl. Of course you won't get the new baseband and no guarantees it will boot, but hey some of you guys love flashing.

---------- Post added at 02:33 PM ---------- Previous post was at 01:59 PM ----------

@exonix Do any radio functions work on this phone? In the build.prop all the calls to the RIL have been commented out or removed. As far as I know, without these calls the radio won't intialize.

@everyone else - Here is the system image extracted and zipped up. You can see what is inside this device. ROMs can be made from this and what we have already.

[T-Mobile LG G2x] exonix:
jboxer, the phone was brand new and my ATT and T-mo SIM's showed up as lock.

I found out they are r;leasing a BRAND new T-MO simcard just for it.

However I did use WiFi with no problems and I placed a test calls to 911 and they went through fine.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] jboxer:
Tracfone has their own system ID so it would have to be a new sim card to work. Uploading rom now based on the system image.

Thanks again.

---------- Post added at 03:59 PM ---------- Previous post was at 03:38 PM ----------

I've made an experimental ROM based on the system image of this phone. I have posted in the development section. I believe it will boot and work but I have not tried it yet as my G2X is my primary device at the moment.

huge thanks to exonix and jboxer. i tested google talk video and it works great! none of that sideways bs.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] exonix:
if you guys please could as a thanks of my contribution ask <b>theunlock.ca</b>

to provide a free unlock code for my phone, or if any of you guys could, that would be GREATLY appreciated :)
[T-Mobile LG G2x] lotherius:
You deserve a bit of gratitude for helping out! Unfortunately, I don't know if any of us would be able to help with the unlock code :(...

If anyone can, please do. Exonix was very patient with us and helped out a lot!
[T-Mobile LG G2x] jboxer:
Your phone cannot be unlocked with a code. It has to be taken to someone who has the appropriate LG clip and the NVRAM has to be downloaded, hacked and flashed back to the phone. LG doesn't release unlock codes for evaluation units and that appears to be what you have. The IMEI identifies the phone as a pre-production unit, and no pre-production units are ever entered into LG's unlock database as they are never intended to go in the wild by a member of the public. They are intended (and given free) for companies to evaluate the unit to consider selling it to their customers. So technically, you are in possession of a stolen device (doesn't matter how you got it). The evaluation units belong to LG, period. The fact that someone gave it to you makes me think Tracfone passed on it and is not going to release it. It should have been returned to LG after their evaluations were done.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] albertorodast2007:
Wish I could at least donate some money to him so he can buy an unlocked device... but here in Guatemala life's a true b*tch!
[T-Mobile LG G2x] xali:
DUUUUDE just sell it as an antique/super rare one of a kind model thingy

...or actually don't. at least not until someone figures out a way to rip the baseband out of it lol

im sure you'll get more than enough in donations. well the world is cruel inside so maybe not =/

wait but first of all how is it even locked? if you managed to boot into CWR and made a full backup then have you tried flashing another rom? if it's still locked then... that must be an issue with the baseband itself or something??
[T-Mobile LG G2x] albertorodast2007:
SIM unlocking has nothing to do with rooting a device....
[T-Mobile LG G2x] xali:
Then use another sim? Surely you meant to say something else lol
[T-Mobile LG G2x] jboxer:
He can use the phone on Tracfone's Straight Talk service. That is the only sim it will accept. Tracfone has their own system id, which is 310999. No other sim will work.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] xali:
What is the thing that controls what sim card a phone can accept?!??
[T-Mobile LG G2x] jboxer:
NVRAM is where sim and network locking, and which sim card is native to the phone is stored. When you enter an unlock code a special piece of code accesses NVRAM and changes one bit from a 1 to a 0. Without a lock code the only way to unlock the phone is with special software and clips that can download NVRAM, modify it, and upload back to the phone. This method of unlock is very dangerous as it can easily brick the phone if the NVRAM is corrupted in any way. This is a special hidden partition that cannot normally be accessed. It also is where the phone's IMEI is stored.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] xali:
Very interesting... I just googled nvram and g2x and this thread was the first result LOL

I'm assuming no one here knows how to manipulate nvram on this home then eh
[T-Mobile LG G2x] gypsy214:
guys how about a turbo sim? would that help him?
[T-Mobile LG G2x] albertorodast2007:
No, I didn't... you talked about flashing roms like if that could somehow unlock the device so he can use it on any carrier... (bec that's what he wants) and that's impossible, NAND partitions have nothing to do with the NVRAM....

[Motorola Droid 3] Rotkaeqpchen:
Hi all,

I did not and will not stop searching for a solution for our slow camera.

I read that someone said that the Atrix Camera would work better for the Bionic. So I downloaded the Apk from here (http://rootzwiki.com/showthread.php...l-(10-05-2011)&p=149453&viewfull=1#post149453) and changed the camera and camcorder icon to our beloved stock ones.

This Camera Version starts much faster, is focusing faster and seems to be a lot more stable. It also seems that those ugly black flickering is gone in the camcorder too :)

Please report if you are experiencing the same improvements :)

Note: Unfortunately this only works with the XT862.

Installation:

1. Rename (or remove) /system/app/BlurCamera.apk and BlurCamera.odex to *.bak

2. Move BlurCamera.apk to /system/app

3. Set the permissions to 644 (-rw-r--r--)

4. Reboot

GoLauncher EX users will find the app icon at the end of the list.

Rename to BlurCamera.apk and move this to /system/app and set the right permissions.
[Motorola Droid 3] The Solutor:
Tested over the XT883 rom and yes, this is definitely an improvement.

Thanks a lot for sharing your findings...
[Motorola Droid 3] Dominicusx:
Works great. Only issue is camcorder closes to home screen unless you hit record in 3 secs
[Motorola Droid 3] The Solutor:
Camcorder works perfectly for me.
[Motorola Droid 3] buckmarble:
Im on monster and not having this issue. Im starting to see a lot of people having problems from jumping roms without wiping. A wipe may be in order. The system apps store app data in the data partition as well and may be what is conflicting for you.
[Motorola Droid 3] Dominicusx:
Ok I lied dang it. Just rebooted after trying to run again and now its all good. Thank you!
[Motorola Droid 3] Dominicusx:
Now issue is that when I press record it closes to home.. not sure what I can do now.. didn't back up old blurcamera apk.
[Motorola Droid 3] dpwhitty11:
In adb shell, as root/su, type:

setprop media.stagefright.enable-record false

Or open your build.prop and find that line and change it from this:

setprop media.stagefright.enable-record=true

To this:

media.stagefright.enable-record=false

I think thats whats going on.
[Motorola Droid 3] jfont25:
Not sure what I am doing wrong. Force closes for me. Renamed, set permissions, rebooted, wiped cache. Changed back to original camera.
[Motorola Droid 3] neilrl79:
works good for me.
[Motorola Droid 3] patfactorx:
How do I make this camera work on the Droid 3?
[Motorola Droid 3] neilrl79:
you need to be rooted, change the name to BlurCamera.apk, place the .apk in /system/app/ , fix permissions, reboot, you may also have to edit the build.prop as per instructions in the earlier post
[Motorola Droid 3] misterpat1975:

[Motorola Droid 3] jfont25:
Any idea why this is force closing on me? Used Root Explorer to rename it, copied it to system/app, set the permissions to the same as the other files in that folder, changed owner to root. Had to reboot, because the camera app was not showing as installed. After reboot, it was back, but it immediately force closes when I launch it. Tried clearing data in app management, also tried wiping cache in recovery.
[Motorola Droid 3] Rotkaeqpchen:
Really, I tested the camera the whole day today. It really is really fast now. Finally I do love the camera too! :)

BTW: Would please someone move this thread to General? I posted in the wrong section, sorry!

@jfont25 I think you have to remove (backup) BlurCamera.odex too. I don't know!
