To answer your question, yes, you will need to reroot to give it the temporary root. If you used the kindle fire utility it shouldn't be that big of a deal.

God damn, I thought the G2x forum was full of a bunch of pricks, but clearly this one takes it. The point of this forum is to share insights and offer advice to fellow users with common interests... simply put, no need to be a ****ing prick, the smarter thing to do is search the xda forum not refer him to Google
[Kindle Fire General] running_penguin:
thinking about it , if you want to un root it I think there is a rom you can flash that is a pre root that shud do the trick for you

When you do a Google search for almost anything related to Android modification and rooting XDA results are usually the first results.

Good to see a month later this forum is still full of threads about people bricking and rooting their fires.

Reminded me why I don't bother coming over here.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] michael.clarkson78:
I know there are a few of these threads in other device forums but I am posing this question to G2x owners only. What is the best ROM in your opinion for use on the G2x? I just rooted mine and have ClockworkMod 5.0.2.0 running with ROM Manager in place. Now it is time to play. A little background, I am a Red Hat instructor so any ROMs a linux nerd might find useful that play nice on the G2x hardware would be awesome.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] redmonke255:
I've used weapon g2x for a while and it was pretty good. Switched to cyanogenmod 7.2 and it's also pretty good. I've heard phoenixblood is also amazing.

I recommend you just jump in and try them.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] regP:
Mileage varies with different people so the best way to pick a ROM is to try them yourself. Make sure you use Titanuim Backup to help keep your apps and data through the changes.

I like pheonix blood a lot. It seems the most stable and full featured.

also, a linux nerd might like Terminal IDE

wait, im confused; why not? i thought everyone had to use rom manager? or can everyone just use clockwork mod instead? why is rom manager so bad?

clockworkmod...
[T-Mobile LG G2x] mackster248:
I never knew why people use RM. Just boot into CWM. RM can **** up at times. I've even seen it brick some people's phones. Also, the G2x uses a modded CWM. So using RM wouldn't be a good idea either way.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] oilfighter:
I flashed my first ROM with ROM manager, and of course something went wrong, and the G2x wouldn't boot up. At the time, I thought I messed it all up and bricked my phone.

CWM is just a safer option. Even if the flash goes bad, you can still boot into CWM and do a nandroid restore, then it's like nothing happened in the first place. Plus after you've done it once, it's actually a really simple process to do, but now you have an added safety net.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] maxesxp:
Yupp use cwm much more stable and easier? I used rm and it soft bricked my phone. Managed to fix it tho with nvgflash
[T-Mobile LG G2x] JaiaV:
The recovery partition on Tegra 2 devices works very differently from the recovery partition on almost all other devices. Rom Manager works around this by simply installing it's own version of CWM on a portion of your system partition (I'm fairly certain that is where it places it, but I could be wrong). The Tegra architecture protects certain partitions from being written to while in anything other than recovery or NVFLASH. This prevents certain blobs from being flashed properly with RM. Also, some options can wipe the partition the RM flashed 'CWM' is on, completely removing your non NVFLASHED recovery. While it is extremely rare that this CWM could do permanent damage to the device, it's just generally safer and more consistent to use the 'real' CWM that you flash to the device with NVFLASH, as it is on the proper partition and separate from any partition that a ROM might attempt to format.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] thefulleffect89:
Makes sense. Goodbye Rom Manager. Thanks guys.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] Pentuni:
HI there so i bought a used HD2 wich came with ICS installed when it arrived i turned it on and loaded MAGLDR then it tried to load Android but got stuck at the GO GO GO! line. As i dont have any drivers installed and Windows doesnt recognize the HD2 in MAGLDR i cant flash a new rom. I wanted to do a Task 29 but that requires drivers too.

So my question is how do i perform a full wipe so i can get a working rom since the phone turns on, shows the TMobile splash screen then goes into Magldr and tries to boot android immediately then get sutck in GO GO GO!.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] nameless517:
hold power button until magldr menu appear

in ad recovery you can wipe anything
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] gdsbalaji:
good to know u want to start from scratch...u ll never know wats been put it that device...:) ....here is wat you can do

i had put out these steps in another thread to help out a fellow XDAian... try

files you need: (if you need pm me)

-task29

-Radio Leo 2.15.50.14

-DFT_LEO_MAGLDR113_DAF

-Recovery_150M_system_5M_cache

-rom zip (dont alter/extract zip if you done know wat to do with this)

do these: (from your current WP7 rom)

-restart device

-get into tricolor bootloader

-plug usb...hd2 should say 'USB'

-do a task 29

-get into bootloader again

-plug usb...hd2 should say 'USB'

-install radio by running 'CustomRUU.exe'

-get into tricolor bootloader

-plug usb...hd2 should say 'USB'

-run DAF.exe for installing MAGLDR

-reboot

-get into MAGLDR by holing power/end key while booting

-go to 'usb flasher' in the menu and press green/call button

-plug usb...hd2 should say 'USB'

-wait till it say 'wait usb...usb'

-get into your recovery folder

-run daf.exe

-reboot post completion

-get into MAGLDR by holing power/end key while booting

-get into ad-recovery

-get into mount storage

-activate usb mass storage

-now put the rom zip files into sd card

-press power to get back to recovery menu

-select install rom from sdcard

-choose rom file

-select install

this should typically install nandroid into your hd2...

if you face any issues, share the step and the error scenario/msg
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] Pentuni:
I tried to get task29 but my PC doesn't recognize the hd2 even on bootloader.

Edit: So i managed to get the drivers and got the phone recognized, so i performed task 29, worked perfectly. Followed the steps but when i try to install a radio it fails and gets stuck at 96%. I tried flashing the radio several times but no luck... What am i doing wrong?

I have the T Mobile US version, HSPL SPL-2.08.HSPL 8G XE COtullaHSPL 0x05 0x50(what it says on tricolor bootloader). The radio i tried to install is 2.15.50.14.

I got the drivers, my PC finally got a connection with the HD2 so i performed a task29 and wiped the phone then i followed your guide tried to install the radio but the process with CustomRUU.exe got stuck at 96% and said there was an error "this update utility can not be used on your device." and now the phone shows an Update Fail screen without a radio i cant install MAGLDr then install WP7 on it so what can i do?
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] Pentuni:
Thank you i read your guide. So can i instal clK without a radio? Also can i install ICS beta10 or Windows Phone 7 with cLK and witout going through the radio installation?

Another thing... the came with almost no battery and i cant charge the phone with the update failed screen i saw that i need at least 50% of battery but i dont think the phone has that much.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] kylew1212:
Okay sorry I should've explained more..

yes you have to have a radio.

Yes you can install ics beta 10 with clk.

No you cannot install wp7 with clk magldr is required for that.

If your phone is getting close to running out of battery I would flash clk 1.5 via SD card and then charge the phone up
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] Pentuni:
Ok so i got the radio installled and proceeded with the process with magldr installed fine and i followed this guide to get WP7.

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1246040

After the installation the phone syas reboot now! but doesnt do anything i had to pull out the battery and now it wont boot. ts stuck in a blank magldr menu.

EDIT: I managed to get magldr to show something, it tries to boot WPH but says 1eFATAL HIT 1. Did i scre up the installation? If i hold the power button it keeps doing the same thing without showing the options menu how do i wipe the rom so i can flash a new one?

Edit 2: flashed wp7 again boots magldr then sticks on GO GO GO! again.

I'm having the same problem until today.

Did a task29, installed magldr, cwm, then a rom, radio is 2.15.50.14.

[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] autoprime:
ALL credit goes to sbrissen for completing this task. Without him my bounty thread would probably still be up and unresolved. Be sure to show him thanks as well!

I've been waiting to see what Sprint was doing with WiMax first before releasing this but now we know there will be no more WiMax smartphones... although I'm still waiting to see if they sneak the Samsung Note in with WiMax.

As the WiMax enthusiasts already know... we can edit 99% of the same values as the OG Epic already using both ##DATA# > View > WiMAX and ##DEBUG# menus. Possibly the most useful edit is setting the Entry Rx levels from -89 to -110.. allowing those in low signal areas to still jump on 4G. The big edit that was missing on the E4GT was the ability to edit the WiMax MAC address. This is what I'm sharing today.

UPDATE

This can also be done on AOSP ICS without the need for the attached apk(still no ICS Touchwiz option). I've personally only done this with CM9 built by darchstar or sbrissen.. but it should work for others.

1. Use an app such as 'Any Cut' from the market to make shortcuts.

2. When scrolling through all of the available shortcut options you will see WIMAX_CFG and WimaxHiddenMenu. Make a shortcut to each.

3. Use WIMAX_CFG to set the Realm. Use WimaxHiddenMenu to set the MAC.

4. Hit the THANKS button because I'm jawsome.

DIRECTIONS:

1. Download the attached file and unzip

2. Replace unzipped file w/the file in /system/apps. make sure permissions are correct(Root Explorer makes this EZ)

3. Go to the dialer.. enter ##DEBUG# > WiMAX CT > Open Device.. Edit MAC and hit set. Done.

This will work on all Touchwiz based roms released up until this point(with unmodified dialers). I can not promise it will work on upcoming ICS Touchwiz builds and it will definitely NOT work on any current/future AOSP/MTD/Cyanogen builds!! If you do have a Touchwiz based rom but the dialer has been modified and does NOT allow ##DEBUG# to work.. use an app like AnyCut to make a shortcut to WiMAX CT instead. Again.. this will NOT work on non-touchwiz roms.

To get your MSL download Terminal Emulator from the Market. You MUST be rooted.

Open it and type:

then type "getprop ril.MSL"

(then enter to get you Device's MSL code, NO QUOTES)

I know who ever posts this question first is going to be flamed by other IVY League Graduate ( Acting) here...So I am taking the heat...what exactly does it do...
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] autoprime:
Not 100% sure but I believe it would remain untouched even after a ##786# reset.. just as the meid etc would remain untouched. resort to checking the label under your battery for original MAC ;)
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Magicspell:
At the risk of being the first uneducated poster to ask the "what is this for" type question, I have to ask:

Will this do anything for me if Sprint has no 4G coverage in my area?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] autoprime:
sprint/clear/comcast all share the same towers.. if you currently do not have coverage this will not help. Though I would not rely solely on their coverage maps. http://s4gru.spruz.com has detailed info in their forums on WiMax "Protection sites/Phantom sites" that list towers not listed by Clear/Sprint. Though if WiMax is NOWHERE near you.. this prob wont help... unless a local college or something is using WiMax.

Its like this, I have great 4g but I went to a farmers market there a company was showing off their WiMax for gaming. The MSL was on the side. Theoretically, you can Crick that Mac on here and use it. I was seriously wondering if there is a mini throttle between Clear and Sprint. Straight Clear seems faster. This is not legal to do I believe unless you own another WiMax device like portable hotspots...
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] m_reyna_16:
just in case one wants to revert back to the original settings, what does one need to do? i dont think a nand backup will do the trick right?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] autoprime:
already covered in the thread.. simply rewrite the old MAC thats on the label under your battery. there is no partition etc that requires backing up.. it's not like HTC devices.

I have reset my MAC to the one on the sticker under the battery using the instructions in this thread, THANKS autoprime! However, I still can't connect. I'm wondering if some of the other settings got hosed when I lost my MAC. Could someone please post a listing of what they have for the other settings (not MAC) in the WimaxHiddenMenu/CT app (FA and BW settings)?

PS: I've tried a NVRAM reset and it didn't help.

Thanks!
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] autoprime:
there should be a default settings button at the bottom of CT which would fix any goofy settings in there. if a ##786# reset doesnt fix it.. im not sure what will. if realm is correct and mac is correct.. that should be it. and every time ive messed up wimax.. the 786 reset has brought me back.

[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] rigel1326:
I have been trying to set this for a while now. Installed ct.apk file in system/app although there was no existing file there to replace. I set the permissions using root explorer lite to match the other apk files. I went to recovery to reset permissions just to make sure. I installed anycut and made the two shortcuts. I opened wimaxhiddenmenu and read info and the info props up but the set mac address is still greyed out.

Help please. Also, for clarity, I am on the boost ics release ff20. I can see ct.apk from anycut and when I open that it looks identical to the wimaxhiddenmenu but force closes itself after I hit open device.

Should I rename the file to wimaxhiddenmenu.apk and replace existing? Don't get what this file does since we're not opening it.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] brooksyx:
So far there is no way to edit wimax settings on ics touchwiz. You either need to Odin back to el29 to use the ct.apk or flash cm9 to access the wimax settings with anycut.apk. You might be able to access these settings on AOKP. After you flash the wimax settings you can flash back to ff20 and your settings should stick.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] rigel1326:
Okay I flashed to el29 programmed the wimax mac address and flashed back to ff20 and I can see the new address has stuck. However, I still get no connection. Again, I am on Boost. The only change I made was to the mac. Was there something else I need to do?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] brooksyx:
you need to change the wimax realm to the correct service provider as well.
