I have a LG G2X P999 phone and as with most of my phones I root them. I have seen many tutorials on how to root my version (Gingerbread 2.3.3) and in all I must boot the phone in APX mode in order to install the Nvidia drivers. The method is NvFlash which installs ClockWorkMod (CWM) which then serves as a basis to root the phone. But before CWM can be installed the phone battery must be removed, the volume up & down button pressed simultaneously and then connected via the USB cable to the computer. According to the tutorial I should see APX device with a yellow triangle. The tutorial already provides the necessary drivers to install. The problem is when I connect my phone I just hear the traditional windows sound which indicates that something has been inserted. Checking the device manager reveals no unusual device. It is really baffling me why the phone is not booting as it should into APX mode. This is fairly a straightforward process so I guess I most be missing something.
