Step 2:

To install the drivers on you PC:

Extract the contents of Rysty’s.rar (you just downloaded) to C:\\\\\\\\O2x\\\\\\\\NV
Then remove the battery on your LG Optimus 2X.
Hold Vol. Up / Down, then plug the USB cable to the phone and connect to the PC.
After that you also have to install drivers APX. You can do this by right-clicking on the “APX device”, choose Update Driver Software and then browse to the drivers, you select the directory where you put the drivers, and then install it.

Step 3:

Windows 7/Vista:

Navigate to the C:\\\\\\\\O2x\\\\\\\\NV folder, double click the script called «flash-recovery». If you have an external SD-card (which, if you have followed the instructions, is resting on your table) press 2, if not press 1.

Windows XP:

If you have an SD-card, double click the “install_external_xp” batch-file, if not double click the “install_internal_xp” batch-file.

The LG Optimus 2X will display a Software-upgrade-screen, while the command-window will inform you of the progress. After a little while it’ll be finished and you can press any key to exit. (Now, where’s that ‘any’-key again?) Just to be safe, wait another 10 seconds before removing the usb-cable from the phone, cutting its power. Now install the battery and the sd-card again.

Step 4:

Hold volume-down while pressing the power-key. Do not let go of any of the keys until you see an LG-Logo with a bluish halo. Now you should be in the regular ClockworkMod. Choose «Install Zip from sdcard» (by navigating to it with the volume-buttons, then select it with the power-button) then «choose zip from sdcard». Navigate to where you put SU303.zip, select it and confirm. After a short while it’ll inform you it’s done. Press back-button, select «reboot system now.»

Step 5:

Now go the market and install and run «Busybox installer» by Stericson. Grant it root access when it asks, accept all the default settings, dismiss the warning-screen and confirm that you really want to do it. Voila, you’re done. You can now do all the things you usually do, like restoring Titanium Backups etc. LG-Optimus info
