Success!!! Thank you. How the f do you turn off that God awful "Verizon Wireless" chick voice? I haven't had an Android phone do that since the Droid Eris, and I forgot.
[G2 General] deepthunk:
Thanks, I had the same issue. Wasn't working when I tried to uninstall the chinese SU instead of freezing it at that point.
[G2 General] Lesser Version:
I hope someone puts together something a little more automated. Having issues getting adb setup even with the instructions(I'm the dummy) and my kids aren't gonna give me time to work for an hour on this. I will try again later. Great job to everyone involved and a big FU to Verizon. The developer community is smarter than your employees

My device will not show up in ADB at all... Verizon

updated sdk and everything
[G2 General] emplox:
You need to not use MTP. Select Internet and then ethernet.
[G2 General] drkow19:
+1 to this, I had the same issue. Using "adb version" I was on 1.0.29, so I used sdk manager to update platform-tools. Now up to 1.0.31, and the RSA thing pops up on my phone. On my way to rooting!
[G2 General] Darkestred:
and you switched connection type to internet - ethernet?
[G2 General] eighty1:
EDIT:

[G2 General] 2000army:
I am on Internet/Ethernet ... installed drivers correctly ... sdk is newest version but still will not show any devices under adb devices
[G2 General] jspradling7:
Holy Cow! I'm rooted and learned Chinese too! :)
[G2 General] drkow19:
Did you enable developer's options, and enable usb debugging first?

I HAVE ACHIEVED ROOT ON VERIZON!!!!
[G2 General] 2000army:
Nope... because it was not in the instructions lol ... I'm dumb ... op can you update Verizon instructions?
[G2 General] Han Solo 1:
Thanks to this thread, I just picked up my new G2!

I'll be sure to root this weekend.

Thanks again, everybody.

This forum rocks!
[G2 General] djkinetic:
Updated
[G2 General] stetsonaw:
Thanks, worked for me. Did you successfully uninstall the chinese SU after freezing it and updating CM Superuser binary?
[G2 General] who MIKE D:
Thanks for the instructions!

I managed to root my Verizon G2 and make a dialer mod already :D
[G2 General] stetsonaw:
Answered my own question.

Freeze the Chinese (system) version of Superuser, update binary, protect root with voodoo (for good measure), then uninstalled Chinese Superuser. Cracked open ROM Toolbox Pro (which I hadn't opened/granted access to yet), CWM Superuser asked for permission. All set!

---------- Post added at 05:43 PM ---------- Previous post was at 05:41 PM ----------

Link to download? I love it! Does it work across both the dialer and contacts? Or still a work in progress?
[G2 General] djkinetic:
Did you deodex your stock ROM already?
[G2 General] sublimejosh2000:
I had troubles with Step 9. Uninstalling caused an issue, but freezing it worked good. After I froze it, updated the binary with the real superuser, I uninstalled it and all was well. Might want to freeze, update, uninstall... 1.2.3. In that order.

Good to see you, I remember you from the Atrix days!
[G2 General] who MIKE D:
Nope, still odexed

Still a work in progress, have a few things i want to change. Then i still need to do the in-call screen.

This is my first time modding anything other than HTC Sense so im still learning where everything is

But i will need some testers when I'm satisfied with it :)
[G2 General] jayochs:
NICE!

confirmed for Verizon, yet again!

i did the voodoo OTA rootkeeper as well, just incase.

awesome! now i just need me soem TWRP

and awesome to see mike here, and scott, wouldn't mind a nice stock debloated rom ;)

[G2 General] chiefwigms:
anyone get tethering working? I tried on my g2 w/o root, but hitting home when it said its not an authorized device just closed the tether app (VZW)

Will I ever be able to root my phone without a computer I left my laptop at home and I just got the G2 but I wanna root!
[G2 General] jayochs:

[G2 General] Lesser Version:
Root....That is all. Thank you to all involved. Guess I am keeping it now
[G2 General] timsterzzz:
Thank God for them Chinese. Went smooth here. Spent more time getting adb setup on my laptop than anything. If you get a red X on the phone picture, just unplug your phone and plug it back in. Mine went back green and the root program ran. Loving the phone and looking forward to some future development.
[G2 General] jayochs:
watch, now all of our phones are like zombiephones in some chinese plot to take over the US. hahaha

[G2 General] nitric13:
verizon here...

no devices showing up in adb....
[G2 General] rdcamero:
Same problem.I try to install the driver from the cd directory and get a network error occurred.Downloaded the LG driver file and can't seem to get it installed either.
[G2 General] chrisexv6:
Use SDK manager to check and make sure you have the most up to date ADB, you might need to update it.
[G2 General] jayochs:
i had to manually install my drivers...but that's bc i'm dumb and kept going "WHY ISN'T IT INSTALLING THE DRIVER AND JUST FAILING?!?!"

yea i forgot to turn debugging on hahah...i manually installed by going to device manager, finding the 3 things that were failing to install, and setting the directory to that file i donwloaded.

then i turned usb debugging on, and bam, showed up in adb devices. it literally took like 2 minutes to root it, and get the proper SU on.
[G2 General] rdcamero:
Got ADB to see my phone.It shows the model when command prompt adb devices but shows unauthorized beside it ?
[G2 General] djkinetic:
make sure ur ADB is up to date and then allow the RSA fingerprint on your phone that pops up.
[G2 General] anuraj1:
Dammit I promised myself I'd wait for some concrete Nexus news before I bought a new phone but here I am at the Verizon store buying a g2 at full retail.

Thanks everyone for paving the way! Had anyone tried "fastboot oem unlock" in adb?
[G2 General] CBMC:
I was wondering that myself about fastboot unlock. I would go out and buy this phone if I could get some aosp love.
[G2 General] rdcamero:
Thanks allowed fingerprint.adb devices shows the model and serial.It shows device on the right but does not show online.
[G2 General] Namtaru:
you just get a message that says "waiting for device" and never goes anywhere
[G2 General] synplex:
Verizon G2 rooted. Super simple operation!

Verizon G2 rooted :victory:. The whole process took about 4-5mins thanks to all the prep I got from this thread.

Thanks everyone for making this a smooth operation for me :D
[G2 General] rdcamero:
Thanks for the help got it done.:good:
[G2 General] pouxonu:
Congrats to all the devs who got this done, and as soon as I can will give this a whirl.The only thing I wanted to double check was is the root manager the only part of the phone that will be Chinese or does it change the entire phone's language to Chinese.Thanks again and great job all involved.
[G2 General] Namtaru:
It changes everything to chinese, you also have to start speaking chinese on all phone calls. :laugh:

nah, just the SU app
[G2 General] rdcamero:
Just the root manager temporary.I think people may have a issue with changing their phone to all Chinese Lol
[G2 General] anuraj1:
Try typing:

fastboot-windows oem unlock
[G2 General] djkinetic:
Doesn't work you get waiting for device and it never moves..be patient a bootloader unlock/bypass should come eventually.. Keep in mind that most devs don't yet have the device.
[G2 General] drathian1:
That does not work either.
[G2 General] blue-tahoma:
I can't seem to get ADB to see my phone. I made sure it was up to date, and I got wlanadb to see it, but I couldn't get the chinese program to work as well. I need some assistance.
[G2 General] jayochs:
did you turn usb debugging on in developer options?
[G2 General] anuraj1:
Dang, I guess that would be way too easy.
[G2 General] nitric13:
silly me....forgot to GO BACK AND CHECK USBDEBUG option after 5clickin to make it appear
[G2 General] blue-tahoma:
It's always the little things you forget to do lol, thanks!
[G2 General] chrisexv6:
How about:

adb reboot oem-unlock

NOTE: if this works and you tell it to go through the whole phone will be wiped. Im not sure if pulling the stock ROM and reflashing it with the LG tools will re-lock the bootloader
[G2 General] nitric13:
thanks verizon for telling me im rooted :eek:

About the people who want to remove the terrible AT&T 4G and 4G LTE icons you can fix that with build.prop without having to mess with the images. Also removes the carrier label and puts it on the notification bar.
[G2 General] drathian1:
It rebooted my phone, but didn't seem to do anything else. I didn't receive any prompts.
[G2 General] anuraj1:
There must be a lot of people downloading the Android SDK because I've got it downloading at less than 5k per second. Miserable.

Plus it has stopped downloading at 90% twice in a row now.
[G2 General] djkinetic:
Care to share the lines u edited for the 4g icon and carrier text?
[G2 General] hyelton:
Sadly Cant do it with this one like I did the Optimus G pro:( It makes going to Mobile Networks Force Close:(

It says Android.Phone process has stopped.
[G2 General] rdcamero:
Hope someone can find a simple method to remove the Verizon name and logo from the lockscreen.
[G2 General] canecbr600:
When I did it, it was under other settings I think, I just removed At&t. This worked, but put a generic 4g icon next to signal bar, instead of the at&t 4g, and Ltd icons. I added the At&t back in build.prop for now...
[G2 General] djkinetic:
Was this the line u edited ro.build.target_operator=ATT
[G2 General] canecbr600:
Yes it was...
[G2 General] akong702:
Will this work with T-Mobile?
[G2 General] djkinetic:
Well that sucks i edited that line to be blank and now my g2 won't boot past the lg screen lol. Might have to take a trip to Att if I can't push back amother build.prop
[G2 General] canecbr600:
I didn't remove the whole line, just At&t
[G2 General] cwensil:
How do I uninstall the Chinese Superuser?

This is an awesome guide, and thank you for the step by step instructions. I made it all the way to the point where you uninstall the Chinese Superuser. Do you enable it in settings under apps and then uninstall it? I'm just not sure what to use to uninstall it. Thanks
[G2 General] hyelton:
What did you change the Carrier Build Prop line to? You can ONLY use 3 Letters.

TMO - for T-Mobile which seems to be the best BUT you CANT go to Mobile Networks you will get a force close.

or SKT but it causes more issues than needed.

Anyone Know how to fix Android.Process.Phone has stopped? Cause that what happens when changing it to TMO on build prop.

Dont take it back just flash it back to stock I uploaded the stock file a few hours ago.
[G2 General] djkinetic:
I did just remove Att lol.
[G2 General] djkinetic:
I'll try when I get back home.
[G2 General] hyelton:
I would think that removing ATT would NOT work. Did it work for you?
[G2 General] djkinetic:
Left it blank stuck in bootloop
[G2 General] djkinetic:
Gonna need a walkthrough on how to flash the stock file heh...first lg device I've owned.
[G2 General] canecbr600:
Yes it did, only downside I had, like I said I got a generic 4g logo, whether I was on hspa, or lte ....
[G2 General] hyelton:
Changing it to

TMO

RGS

TLS

H3G

ORG

ALL gives me Force closes when trying to go to Mobile Networks option under settings, So someone will need to fix this. The ONLY way to get Tethering to fully work is to get the TMO Build Prop Change working on the AT&T Version it works but Mobile Networks FC when trying select it. Meaning a file will need to be placed somewhere.
[G2 General] canecbr600:
What did u use to edit it? Did u make sure the permissions were right?
[G2 General] djkinetic:
920 Text Editor I assumed it was correct. I should have checked lol blah.

Just wanted to add, that after I restored, and the phone had completely rebooted into the stock rom, I still got a download failed in LG Flash Tool, even though the flash had completed perfectly.
[G2 General] hyelton:
Did you unplug the phone before the Percent was done counting up? After the phone reboots and is normal LG Flashtool is at 85% or 86% when it reboots and is actually ready, But if you dont wait for 100% even after the phone is booted up and unplug the program says failed. But When flashing as soon as your phone reboots its 99.9% fully done.
[G2 General] djkinetic:
yup, i waited till 100 and it said failed, I'm like no it didnt, its at the account setup screen lol
[G2 General] cslingerland:
Hey, just a suggestion for changing the carrier label.. get the framework-res.apk to your pc through ADB, open the archive with 7zip and open /res/xml/eri.xml and try to change it there. I do not have the phone yet or I would try... but it might be worth a shot.
[G2 General] hyelton:
Could someone do this? In the past anytime I opened any. Xml files they had jumbled text. I can pull the file, but using. Xml for me are always jumbled
[G2 General] anuraj1:
Or if you'd prefer, here's a tutorial on making your own TWRP Recovery.
[G2 General] chrisexv6:
You can probably build one, but will it stay flashed to the phone if the bootloader is locked?
[G2 General] cjharris1985:
Ok so I think i have all the drivers installed but everytime i type in adb devices it shows the phone but it's offline. Any suggestions? Thanks.
[G2 General] chrisexv6:
Make sure debugging is enabled in Developer Options (go to About Phone and tap Build Number 7 times or so if Dev Options arent enabled already)

Also make sure to update your ADB executable using SDK Manager.
[G2 General] cjharris1985:
I have debugging is enabled. I'll try to update the SDK.
[G2 General] hyelton:
This is what I get from eri.xml

I also replaced the eri.xml from the international Version into the framework and nothing has been changed so I dont think anything with the ERI will change the icons.

The reason why you can't read the xml and it comes up all garbled is because its in Binary Format. It needs to be converted by something like this https://code.google.com/p/android4me/downloads/list, also I believe apk tool converts binary, its been a while since I did any XML editing within APKs

Actually had ATT/LG not locked the BL on the phone, I could have had a custom recovery already that had access to adb in recovery which case I would have pushed my stock build.prop and that would have solved the issue in all of 45 seconds....instead I had to dl a stock restore image, and dl their proprietary software and then configure drivers and then restore, which took half an hr..

[G2 General] drkow19:
Personally I love the phone and have had only a small handful of issues so far. I am still getting used to the large size, coming from a 4.3 inch phone. The rooting process was relatively easy, of course I am a power user. Bottom line is it has only been out for a few days, and these things get worked out as time goes on. This phone has amazing hardware, its too good to pass on without even trying it first!
[G2 General] kdkinc:
My "Hater" attitude is directed more towards the phone providers.

I hate how a perfectly great phone can be screwed up by each cell provider. They want to turn all phones back into "bag phones".

OP, if you want to make a not in the OP about this...

If you go to the install directory for the root app, which for me is c:/Program Files (x86)/VROOT, open (not unzip) the 'rootres.zip', rename StringBundle.xml to StringBundle_cn.xml, and StringBundle_en.xml to StringBundle.xml, close the zip file, then open the root program, it'll all be in english (well, more like engrish, but better nonetheless).

Didn't see an option to open the app in english or change it in the software. Also tried creating a shortcut with the following flags that didn't work: /e /en -e -en. Steps above are the only way i found to show english.
[G2 General] Han Solo 1:
Do you mean you have a tethering plan, or were you actually tethering with no detection from Verizon.

There is a thread elsewhere that is all about how no one can get tethering to work.

Ugh.

This is a deal breaker for me if true. Only reason i want to root is to tether freely. If i can't, back to the store it goes!
[G2 General] geoff5093:
Worked great! I installed SuperSU instead of Superuser and everything was fine. Now to just figure out wireless tethering.
[G2 General] stetsonaw:
What plans do you guys have? Still on unlimited? I'm on share everything w/ 4gb data and able to tether with the built in functionality. wasn't there a wireless tether for root users app going around some time back? and remember, once custom roms start rolling out, they will likely have functionality. especially if the bootloader unlocked and AOSP roms come out for it.
[G2 General] Han Solo 1:
Grandfathered unlimited here.

Only reason i bought the phone was because it was rooted.

Only reason i want it rooted is to tether.

Not good.
[G2 General] geoff5093:
I'm on unlimited data as well, so I can't use the built-in mobile hotspot. It's not a huge thing for me but I would definitely love to get tethering working.

[G2 General] Han Solo 1:
Wtf?

I am attempting to root and when i type

adb devices

in the platform tools command window, it says adb is out of date, killing, then opens a daemon port.

Then i type it again but it says list of devices attached, but no phone.

And i have debugging enabled, and I'm connected through Ethernet connection.

I downloaded the sdk from a site that was posted a few pages back, so i assume it's up to date. I got it from

the main android sdk website.
