[LG Drivers] (Easy) for LGP999DW (G2X)

[MLIGN]

READ! This following tutorial will help you install ONLY the LG Drivers NOT the APX drivers needing for ClockWorkMOD..

So I was messing around with how to get the drivers working to my LG G2X.

Using this thread. [Drivers][APP] LG Mobile Support Tool / Nvidia NvFlash APX Driver for LGP999DW G2x

But I could not get it to work this way so I put in my info to the drivers and downloaded the drivers.

It gave me this file I installed it now drivers are working for me. I am now able to get into adb.

So this is a shortened process, therefore you now do NOT need to remove your battery, nor hold any buttons. Simply just install the .exe file (located below)

I don't know if it's 32bit compatible, as I am using a Windows 7 64bit. (Let me know)

Steps:
1. Download this FILE HERE (InstallScript Setup Launcher)
2. Run the .exe file.
3. After installation reboot computer (not necessary, but I did)
4. Plug in your LG G2X (make sure Mass storage only is uncheck)

There you go! Your drivers should be installed very easily without much hassle.

you say "you put in your info to the drivers and downloaded"???????
and i think you should specify a little more as to what people are downloading and installing on their pc's.

Yes sorry, I used the LGMobile Support Tool.

Went to the Customer Support Tab, Then clicked on (Application and Manual USB Driver.) Entered my S/N and phone type got this download for the G2x Drivers. I just shortened the process and just uploaded the "Driver Installation Tool"

with all due respect, this is old news.

I'm sorry. I just thought I'd share a simple step process of installing drivers. From the others I have read require you to remove your battery, hold vol up and down, and plug in USB cable. This you just simply install and plug in phone.

In order to activate NVFlash support for flashing the recovery partition of the G2x, NVIDIA APX driver has to be installed during NVFlash mode (battery out, Vol up + Vol down. If you can get those drivers to work without doing all that, you da man. Until then, this thread is just another way to install LG's drivers for ADB, SD mounting, etc.

BTW, loved your Hero ROM for the G1

the vol.up\down is to enter the nvidia recovery. the lg drivers are for your pc to see\recognize your phone and it's sdcard. and i think you need them to charge through usb. but i think that's been debunked.

Alil off topic but... MLING are you planing on doing any work for the G2x?... loved your work for the G1/MT3G..

Sent from my G2x bitches!!! :-D

Is this assuming you have not installed any drivers at all? And also assuming you had not connected your phone to the computer via usb?

correct. but even if windows installed drivers when you plugged in, you should still do this to get the latest drivers.

You got the APX driver to install correctly (without having to put your phone in low level flashing mode), and tested nvflash? As well have never installed the APX driver before using the 3 button method?

Please let me know your detailed steps and testing and I will append my post for the oneclick app.

quick question... I went to my phone settings and can't see an option to uncheck mass storage... can somebody shade some light?
thanks

 

[wIIse]

Well, something it is not working here...

installed your link on my pc... rebooted... then plugged my phone to pc then on my phone I pressed the *turn on storage* thing and BOOM! blue screen of death on my PC...

I had posted on the general section about my problem and I bought a new sdcard thinking the problem was my old card and it seems it is not!

Who's willing to help me out?

running CM7?

 

[wIIse]

@TGA_Gunnman yes I was running CM7.... but I used my dropbox account and downloaded eagleblood's ROM since I could not mount my sdcard....
My phone is charging, I will update tomorrow to let you know if my sdcard is now being recognized!

You know what's funny? Since my last problem with the drivers/uninstalling I now do not see the nvidia driver under device manager? I think I had erased nvflash option on my pc??? *I used your one click method when I first installed drivers and nvflash* and yes I am able to vol down + power to enter recovery on my phone.

 

[wIIse]

Well, good news after reverting to eagles' rom I am successfully able to mount both my sdcard and external sdcard!!!

I hope once I change back to CM7 I am able to do so as perfect as in the eagles' rom.

 

[wIIse]

BAD NEWS! and cyanogenmod you probably need to take a look at this.. I went back to cm7 and now my drivers are all messed up again or whatever it is I am not able to mount SDcard to PC once again!
