normally its up volume and power when the phone is off that should get you to the bootloader but not sure if you can get there if not unlocked check out carretts thread on rooting and unlocking

Your bootloader is locked. You'll have to LGNPST.
There instructions here:

Be sure to follow all the steps.

dude you might have to do the following
Alternatively, you can use LGNPST to restore a factory image. You need to obtain the following files: LGNPST-PhantomPhreak53.zip, LGNPST_ACG_2.2.3_Lab.zip, and LGE970AT-00-V10o-ATT-US-SEP-29-2012-0.zip. Follow the following steps (please note: I am less experienced with this process and find it much more tedious. Also, IMHO, I don't think the people you're returning the phone to will care if you leave some minor traces of your unlocking shenanigans. I think the process above this is more than sufficient and simpler). Credits go to Jhoopes517 for this process, he showed me how to do it in his thread.
(Install LG USB drivers)
Extract LGNPST_ACG_2.2.3_Lab.zip, run the installer. Open file explorer to C:\Program Files\LG Electronics\LGNPST and replace the current LGNPST_ACG.exe with the one in the extracted folder (if you are on a 64-bit version of windows, go to C:\Program Files (x86)\LG Electronics\LGNPST)
Extract LGNPST-PhantomPhreak53.zip and run LGNPST_GenericModels_Ver_5_0_12_0.exe and then run LGNPST_Components_Ver_5_0_20_0.exe
In file exlorer, navigate to C:\LG Electronics\LGNPST and copy over the "Models" folder from the extracted Phantom zip folder
Run cmd as administrator and execute the following
Code:
regsvr32 "C:\LG Electronics\LGNPST\Models\LGNPST_LS970.dll"
Extract LGE970AT-00-V10o-ATT-US-SEP-29-2012-0.zip and change the extension of the .tot file to .bin
Connect phone to computer, power off, and then power on, holding down the power button and both volume buttons
Run the newly replaced LGNPST_ACG.exe from step 2. Select the DLL from step 5 and the .bin from step 6.
Press Start
If LGNPST errors out at 85%, turn your phone off and hold the power button until the phone powers on, then release. DO NOT disconnect the cable before LGNPST is done doing its thing. Your phone may reboot. This is OK.

You can also buy the freegie app at Google Play for $1. It will install your choice of CWM or TWRP recovery for you.

Yeah that odd it happened after the fact, I ran into the issue while rooting didn't have it in MTP mode and had to go into download mode to fix it. Did you flash any mod packs or roms after rooting and unlocking

[Q] Did I brick my Droid X2?

Need help please!!! I rooted my DX2 few weeks ago using Gingerbreak. Everything went well all this time. Today I tried to unroot the phone. Because I was going to up date to Gingerbread. I defrost all the frozen apps, deleted all the rooted apps. Then I tried to do a factory hard reset by holding power button and volume down button and going in to fastboot, as I push the volume button up, the phone just went dead. I cannot power it up to do anything. When can I do to get this phone in to recovery mode or at lease power it up....
Follow the instructions here EXACTLY and you will be all set, if it doesn't boot at all pull the battery for 30 seconds and try again

Thanks for your quick post. I followed directions and I am stuck at step # 4 . RSD starts to flash but then stops with a massage "phone is not compatible with multi-interface super file. (X-703B); phone connected. Fail..
Did you run RSD as administrator?
Yes I have tried with admin login. I am running Win 7 pro on my laptop. Keep getting the same error. That my phone is not compatiable...What is my next move...???
I actually found someone with this problem in another forum, their problem was they renamed the .gz file instead of using 7zip to extract it, had the exact same error. not sure if its the same issue hope it helps

No, I didn't change the file ext. I tried it again and this time it was going fine at end of flashing it said "powerup your phone maually" which I did. How do I know if my phone has been flashed?

Thank you so much for your help..
I've seen a few posts now of people getting that error message because they tried to flash the SBF before extracting it from the ZIP. That needs to be put in the HOWTO tutorial.
Also, RSD Lite likes to warn you that disconnecting your phone can cause permament damage even though it's finished flashing. (Progress is at 100% and it tells you to reboot your phone manually). That should be put in there, too. The phone is flashed but RSD doesn't always properly disconnect on it's own but as long as the progress is 100% and it tells you that it's complete and you can reboot your phone then you are done.

It does say in dag425 howto post that you need to extract with 7zip, I've thought about asking him to capitalize it or somehow make it draw more attention, think I will PM him about this
Sent from my DROID X2 using XDA App
Ask him to also mention that when progress is at 100% and RSD Lite tells you that it is finished and you can manually boot your phone that you can disconnect your phone regardless of the warnings from RSD Lite that disconnecting your phone can damage it because it won't disconnect on it's own no matter how long ya wait. It did that to me and I thought I was gonna ruin my phone!
Thanks for all the help with SBF. I am having another issue now. after following the directions the phone is up an running. Instead of using prerooted gingerbread, I installed from OTA ver 2.3.3.
I have been trying to use gigerbreak.apk to root it again but after all the step, the phone just runs the exploit. I let it ran over 15 mins to no avail. I have tried 3 time and no success. Am I doing something wrong? Is there another exploit for DX2 2.3.3?
the new 2.3.3 isn't rootable. gingerbreak doesn't work. hence why a pre-rooted version was created. you need to SBF all over again, wipe your phone and install the pre-rooted version.
the steps are SBF & WIPE Froyo
GINGERBREAK while on Froyo (root your phone)
Install Custom Recovery on your Rooted phone (because it won't work unless your phone is rooted anyway)
Boot into Recovery
run SD : update.zip (with the update.zip on your external SD CARD)
takes a lil while and your phone might boot loop a few times. Just let it do it's thing and you'll have rooted gingerbread.
Thanks Calcobrena, You have saved me a lot of time. Now I have SBF my phone and rooted it with gingerbreak.apk, I want to install prerooted GB. I have downloaded recovery and the update for GB. I can't seem to install recovery file on my phone. I went in to astro file manager and it does shows that file is on the SD but when I try to extract, I am getting nothing. I am sure I am missing something, please help again. Thanks
You need to open the recovery apk and click 'install recovery' then plug the phone into the wall outlet and press 'recovery mode'

Please forgive my ignorance, I am new at this but do have computer background. I guess I haven't been able to explain it well. I have downloaded the bootstrap on my SD card, When I use ASTRO file app and go to EXT.SD, I see the file there in RAR format. I click on it and nothing happens. If I hold it down and from the pop up menu choose Extract, it shows copied 0 files and Directory is empty. I have reading all kind of posts on line but can't find anything that can help.

Basically what EvilTim said. A lot of the files you will be dealing with are in ZIP or RAR compressed formats. I use 7zip (http://www.7-zip.org/) to get them out, so head over there and pick that up if you need to extract files. It's much easier just to transfer the files to your phone unzipped rather than using your phone's file manager to do that for you.
The app file extension is .apk so make sure that's whatyou are sending over to your phone. After that, just open it.
In the app you'll see an INSTALL button at the top. Click it and give it SUPERUSER permissions when the screen pops up. THEN, click the button below the install button to run it. It will reboot your phone. Plug your phone into the wall charger and it will boot up into custom recovery. From there just run SDCARD: Update.zip
the problem was Astro file app, it does not support RAR files. I downloaded Andro zip from the market and that was it.. Every worked perfect... Thanks for all the help guys.

Installing official firmware!!!!

This thread explains you how to install official firmware in your P500 when something goes wrong while you root your phone or forget to backup your custom rom and wanted to go back to custom rom and so on. Hope this thread helps you get out of trouble.
For installing custom rom you need the following tools
1. An official firmware (http://www.lg-phones.org/lg-optimus-one-gingerbread-2-3-3-official-firmware-download.html)
2. KDZ updater tool. (link: http://www.mediafire.com/?jkk2dwewjmfz346 )
after getting the above two files now let us start
1. First of all make sure you have the official firmware in .kdz format.
2. Update all your usb drivers before doing any process else it may not work well.
3. Now extract the downloaded KDZ zip file and click on the msxml file and install it.
4. Now open the KDZ_FW_UPD file.
5. Now select 3GQTD in type and Select DIAG in phone mode.
6. Now select the source of the KDZ file by clicking the open folder icon and select the desired firmware. (eg: V20B_00.kdz).
7. Now click on launch software update and sit and relax. Dont remove the usb cable from the phone until the update is completed. The phone will enter into emergency mode then when you get the info like update completed succesfully, switch on the phone.
8. Now your running the official firmware. enjoy!!!
Troubleshooting:
Sometimes the device may get stuck in bootloop it maybe because the phone may have its previous rom's data uncleared.
In this case just switch off the phone and switch on while holding down the VOLUME DOWN+HOME+POWER all at once. and wait for a android image in the screen. Hope it works now. this step worked for me
ALL THE BEST GUYS!!!

Which recovery are you trying to install?
The best experience will be to flash Romracer's recovery through fastboot. If you are unlocked and follow the instructions, you should not have a problem.

Taken from tayshun12's great guide here. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1302423 .
My suggestion is in red. If you are already correcting the name then sorry and good luck.
Proper Recovery:
1. After your bootloader unlocked go to this link http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1204500
2. Scroll down to where it says "ALL USERS" and download your favourite colour. (NOT THE ZIP VERSION) Rename the file to recovery-atrix5.img instead of recovery-some-color-atrix5Place it in the motounlock folder that you have on your desktop.
3. Press the windows key + R on your computer, type cmd and press enter
4. A Command prompt will open. type cd C:\users\YOURNAME\desktop\motounlock press 'enter'
5. type "fastboot devices" Press Enter.
5b. type "fastboot erase recovery" Press Enter.
5c. type "fastboot flash recovery recovery-atrix5.img" Press Enter. Be certain that you have renamed the file to recovery-atrix5.img instead of recovery-some-color-atrix5
Wait for the command prompt to say : "writing 'recovery'... OKAY ['The amount of seconds it took here']"
5d.type "fastboot reboot"
DO NOT FORGET TO DO THIS PART: After the install of RomRacers recovery boot up your phone. Open up your favourite file browser (I used Astro file manager to do this ) and navigate to /system/etc/ and delete the file called 'install-recovery.sh'
You will be set 100% !

problem flashing recovery
I had a similar problem flashing recovery with fastboot method. It would flash the recovery successfully in seconds, but it would not load recovery properly. It didn't matter if i tried to enter it from key combination or Rom Manager the phone would just load the recovery image and not the recovery options.
I was somewhat successful with the procedure found here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1302423 sticky by Tayshun12. flashed latest clockwork mod touch recovery 5.8.1.8 by following procedure at the end of the first post. Delete install-recovery.sh from both locations,(don't forget to backup file first) it is the same file in both locations. Install Rom Manager from Google play after removing files. Flashed touch recovery with the option in rom manager (paid versions of rom manager and touch through play store) after that the recovery works perfectly. I didn't mind having to pay for them to work properly. Good luck, pm me if you need to and I will try to help.

It should have taken only seconds to install. In the command you have to type the name of the recovery your installing. I personally use touch recovery on the atrix. But you have to check the name of the file, it has to be the same name as your command. I suggest you read the instructions carefully again, there should not be any problems.
i can read i tried it on my atrix and it didnt't its a t-mobile uk so am confused

[GUIDE] Rooting

Okay, just wanted to put this info here for easy reference. Feel free to correct anything I may have wrong.
*Based on my experiences performing the operation on windows 7 x64.
1. Install the LG USB driver for windows found under the software tab from their site here
2. Download and extract the English version of the root optimus g created by fiddy619 from here
3. Set USB debugging on and attach your phone to usb, then put it in MTP/Media Sync mode. Next, open a command prompt and navigate to the "stuff" sub-directory of the extracted file. Run the command "adb devices" to make sure your phone has been detected. Go back to the main directory and run the RootOptimusG.bat file.
4. When prompted on your phone choose restore data. Leave your phone plugged into USB until the program tells you it is finished! Sit back and let the magic happen. Your phone will reboot. Mine acted weird for a few seconds after it rebooted, the buttons at the bottom were going on and off and the screen was flickering. Just be patient and give it a couple minutes if needed.
5. When prompted that all is complete you can disconnect your phone from your computer and open the Play store to get the update for SuperSU
Now you are ready to unlock!
should be a sticky.
Thanks!
I followed the thread to root no fiddy619 instructions. I did use MTP.
But instead of Command prompt, I just double clicked the BAT file. and it run without problems, I think.
I have the SuperSU icon on my phone.
How can i make sure it was rooted?
p.s
The unlock also ran without problems.

well if you have the supersu then it should be rooted. also if you now have it unlocked then it is rooted because i dont think you can unlock unless you root. also please search around the forums about what apps to not remove after root. a lot of people have noted issues after removing google apps.

Correct, you can just double click the bat file...my steps vary because I included a check to make sure adb is recognizing your device properly.

If that worked for you, I'm happy for you. I am at this time unable to find a way to unroot and then re-root aside from restoring a backup in CWM or flashing a superuser zip in CWM. This could be because of a "bug" in our rooting script, in SuperSU's un-rooting function, or just an incompatibility between the two. Either way, I think this rooting mechanism works for more virgin LGOGs than not.
worked for me, easy peasy.
When i run the script it gives an error saying that i'm missing backup-restore.apk and /system/bin/ric does not exist. Any ideas as to why this is?
nice. thank you.

That is probably because your phone is not rooted yet. I got that too as I was rooting it. Worked great.
I'm trying to root. USB debugging is on, connected as MTP. Run ADB, run adb-devices, returns an empty screen.
Try to run the script, it tells me "please check setting again"
HALP.

Hey I´m at the same Problem. Can you connect your Phone to your PC?
Then search for a RUU for your Device... and run it... I have the hope that this works at mine htc but the battery is lower then 30% and i have no idea why it doesnt charge... maybe yours is over that...

I plugged it in and yes, it charged! but I am gonna try the RUU now, ill tell you the results, really never encountered this before ;(
May I ask why you want to relock your bootloader?
If your phone is not charging, it's probably because your Recovery is not the latest to date.
@muhhh351
You should flash a Recovery known working on charging mode, the first releases were lacking this mode, but this is resolved now. Click on Frequently Asked Questions in my signature everything is there for you to find about HOX+ and their recoveries.

TWRP is more complete and a rigourously tested recovery. CWM was modded to work on the HOX+.
First make sure your SDK tool (adb) is correctly installed and also the HTC's drivers. (There is a link for a tutorial in my signature.)
Download the correspondent recovery for your phone International OR AT&T/Telus (N.B. Links are available in the Sticky FAQ)
Flash the Recovery.
Clear Cache
Reboot in Recovery
Install your correspondent version of any ROM.zip you want that is already on your storage. (Otherwise,Sideload a ROM to be able to flash one inRecovery)
Flash the boot.img of your desired ROM
Clear Cache Again
Reboot
Should work

CWM wasn't "modded" it's just crap.

I tried to be polite (anyway I am not allowed to talk like that, I never developed any sort of app, neither a ROM or kernel so I am not very qualified to judge others work), I'm sure you understood what I meant.
And yes I agree everything is way more complicated and unstable with CWM.
Please help. I'm having same problem. I can get into bootloader and fastboot and even successfully installed recovery but I can't get into recovery bc I always go to that white htc screen and no idea what to do next. Please please help me. I am on 1.15 software and 1.32 hboot and 4.1.1 Android version
Thank u

Reboot your phone in Bootloader mode (fastboot) you should have this 4 choices :
HBOOT
REBOOT
REBOOT BOOTLOADER
POWER DOWN
leave HBOOT highlighted then press the power button once, a new menu will appear :
FASTBOOT
RECOVERY
FACTORY RESET
SIMLOCK
SHOW BARCODE
IMAGE CRC
From there with the Volume control (up & down) simply select RECOVERY and press Power button one time, your phone should Reboot in Recovery mode.
When in Recovery mode the VERY FIRST thing you will do, is a complete backup of your actual ROM and you will keep it as long as you gonna own the phone, so put this backup in a safe place on your computer and make sure to never delete it.
Thank you but the thing is.. I put twrp on it and version 2.3.3.0 and it won't boot in it. Any ideas why? Then I looked for a more recent recovery and I wasn't sure if this is evita?? So, basically I'm still unable to get into recovery and it goes to that htc white screen.
Btw. Your instructions are excellent

Is your SDK/ADB Tool correctly installed?
Link in my signature...
Yes and I use windows 7 and open my command prompt within platform tools. My drivers say MY HTC. Yes. Ty

OK I will give you a trick...
Navigate to platform-tools of your SDK folder.
Right click and create a New text document
In the new text paste this : c:\windows\system32\cmd.exe
Save it with this name : StartADB.bat (important to save it with .bat extension and overwrite the warning)
Now right click again on your new bat file, and create a shortcut to your desktop.
Now try to adb devices your phone via your new desktop shortcut.
Type this command with your phone plugged : adb devices
You should have your serial in return
OK I am doing that. Please give me a few MIN. Ty
