Tnx man! I just wanted to say,it work’d like a clock!
I root’d my 2x just few hour’s ago,it all went fine using those tool’s you listed.
Now i can say without fear of brickin’g my phone: I feal realy free!
PLEASE HELP!!! My debugging doesen`t work. Every time i try to conect with pc, my 2x is only charging.. I try with Settings > Applications > Development but notthing.. Can anybody tell me what to do ???
Hi,
I kind of have the same problem, my solution is to go to settings > MicroSD and telephonememory. Just turn off mass storage and turn it on again, now you’ll probably get a usb connection screen.
Good luck
Any risks of bricking the phone?
i tried rooting my 2x, the process in SuperOneClick went fine, however, when i checked using Root Checker it said i wasn’t rooted.
It was because an SU binary file wasnt installed correctly. What do i do now?
restart the phone it works fine for me
Yes, thank you! After going through so much trouble, I thought it wasn’t going to work until I rebooted my phone. Thanks for the tip.
