Hi
My x10 will not be recognised by usb, ive tried booting it into flash mode and when its connected via usb it will charge but the menu doesnt pop up and nothing appears in the notifications bar. This happend when i tried to unroot my phone through the one click app and re root it. I factory reset the phone and i still have the problem so im stuck on what to do :S
Have you tried restarting your pc?
ah it seems my laptop didnt like both my portable mouse and my phone connected at the same time even though ive had a proper microsoft desktop set connected at the same time before :S Also is there a decrypted 2.1 ROM for the uk?
Did you check your USB cable? maybe it's broken? -.^ test it in another computer, if it recognize is OK, if not send your x10 to assistance
Its recognised via usb and i've managed to change it to global 2.1. However when i rooted it through oneclick and applied the speed fix, it broke root so now it says i've (shell) rooted my phone on oneclick but superuser doesn't work as in it wont pop up at all its quite annoying

Re-install PC Companion and SEUS. Might be issue with your drivers.
Ive reinstalled seus and tried super one click and it just hangs on connecting to device and I still get the same error with flashtool :s could it be my computer? should I try it on another one?
Ok i got it! I follwed the same steps to root it with super one click but on my laptop instead and it worked, not sure why but yeaaa!! thatnks for everything!
Hello fellow android-users. I have a problem. A problem that I can not figure out. My problem is the fact that no matter what I do I can't root my optimus v. I have tried literally everything and still can not root it. On the phone I've tried all known versions of Visionary, Z4root, easyroot, and universal androot. On the computer I've tried SuperOneClick but it always gets stuck on "waiting for device". I have searched so many forums and cannot find a solution. I think I could root it from the computer if it weren't for these bland general drivers I get installed on my computer every time I install drivers then plug my phone into the computer via usb. I have tried plugging it in to 3 different computers and always get these drivers. I have also tried 2 different usb to micro-usb cables (thinking that the one that came with the optimus might be charge only).Down below I have attached the drivers that always come up and what I think I should get (I screenshooted this from a youtube video).And all the lg android,virgin mobile, and usb drivers I have installed in various orders and mixed and matched but still no good. Also I have never had the phone get a usb notification when I plug it in.And yes I have Usb debugging turned on on the optimus. Although I have tried taking it off just for the heck of it.
Thank you for your time and consideration.
P.S. All i want to do is root it so that I can remove the bloatware and overclock it a bit.
Additional Information: Yes this is also posted on android central but I'm posting it here in hopes that maybe you all can help.
Additional Additional Information:I have tried every driver in every combination for the optimus v with never any luck.I have also installed linux on my computer If I will need that.Is there anyway to root it manually from the device itself, because that appears to be the only way. Here is a link to the official thread:forum(dot)androidcentral(dot)com/showthread.php?p=889790
If you try to connect via adb shell, does it successfully get you a "$" or "#"? Or does it say device not found?
This may seem odd, but try turning the phone off and doing the procedure for permanent root. Some have reported that turning the phone off fixes connectivity issues.
i rooted mine 2.2.2 with gingerbreak, very easy, install root and bobs your uncle
Try Gingerbreak..........works all the time
I downloaded the Gingerbreak v.1.2 app and when I press root I get "rooting....... running exploit..... This may take a few minutes! Device will reboot on success!" and I wait and nothing ever happens. And if yall are talking about the gingerbreak exploit on superoneclick I can't even get my computer to recoqnize my phone the right way.I've never had the usb notification thing pop up on the phone.I have downloaded every single driver for the phone and have installed and uninstalled them soooooo many times with no success.And I have had usb debugging on and tried rebooting several times with no luck. All i want to do is gain root acess to remove bloatware and overclock a bit.
Try all 3 versions of gingerbreak
Alright I already tried v.1.2,and 1.1, but it won't hurt to try 1.0.
remove any antivirus tht u have installed and try again
Alright I'll try that and get back to you
I tried it and it made no difference.Thanks for the suggestion though.
your sureshot is to downgrade ur device to froyo2.2. and then perform the root
Did u enable usb debugging mode? oO
josinpaul: My device is already froyo.The optimus v comes with froyo and I have not touched the OS. Also, how I would I do that if no computer can even recognize the device? (Not trying to be a jerk, just wondering if you could change the OS without being connected to the computer.)
ccdreadcc: Yes I have usb debugging on.And yes I have tried rebooting while I had usb debugging on and while it was connected to the computer via usb with no different results.
Keep your memory card unmounted ,I think here is the problem.

If you mean go to settings in the phone and unmount it then I already did that and it didn't make a difference.If you mean don't mount the sdcard when the usb notification comes up on your phone, then I have no choice.I can't get my phone to even get that (the usb notification).It's charge only when I plug it up to my computer and I have installed all of the drivers and tried everything (and yes a million times, I have usb debugging turned on).That's the whole point! I can't get the drivers to recognize the phone.I have tried it on 3 computers with 2 different micro-usb cords with never any success.
I wonder if your phone really is in USB debuging mode despite what it says. Here is a program to verify that you have rooted your phone. Gingerbreak should work on all firmware/android versions. What android version are you on? Many of the methods do not work on 2.2.1 or 2.2.2. If you go to settings/about phone you should see what you are running.
PS When you did Gingerbreak, was the APK installed on the phone or the SD card? Gingerbreak is mentioned in a number of threads. Have you check this thread? http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=13086954

I am not rooted.That's what I'm trying to do.I checked my version and it is 2.2.1.And i have always tried running gingerbreak from my phone, but it just says "rooting" forever.
Upgrade to 2.2.2 and give it a shot?
Or jst try after a hard reset o)
How would I upgrade it to 2.2.2 if i can't connect it to my computer?

@OP
in short u are f****d.!
try rooting it with super one click or zroot(somethinng like that).
Yo.. let me explain something.
When i rooted and downgraded the kernel it used the old ADB drivers.
When i upgraded it required the new ADB drivers.
Maybe that is your issue.
flash the generic SE firmware with flashTool. It should work...
turn off phone - take out battery - press back key - insert usb - insert battery.
That should do the trick. Then Flashtool to stock
I probably have used this method 50 times the past 2 days trying to upgrade to GB. Always flashes ok but phone wont boot. Finally gave up and stayed with 2.1 and upgraded to MIUI. So it aint dead yet, just injured LOL
2 different computers won't recognize the phone, I can't flash with flashtool! It goes into flag mode but flashtooldoesnt recognize the phone. Somebody know how to manually install drivers?
