Hi, I was looking for a way to root this device but with SuperOneClick I couldn't connect to the PC there was a problem with the drivers, so I've downloaded z4root apk and installed it directly to the phone. Then I clicked on Permanent Root, mobile turned off and now it doesn't react. I can't turn it on and I am not able to get anywhere with holding volume down/up+menu+turning button.
Is there any solution? Thanks
Where did you find out Z4Root was compatible with W ?

I'll be totally honest, it was lame and desperate solution now I have to focus on resolving the problem. At least on Windows I can get that the device was detected and qhsusb_dload driver wasn't properly installed. That could be at least some stepping stone in this situation
can you turn your phone on to download mode? if yes, maybe you can flash your phone with stock rom through odin, and then root the phone later with the update.zip (you can find it in this forum) through the stock recovery.

No it doesn't react at all.
After all it seems I will try to bring it to the seller and play dump and that it failed during updating to newer FW

Have you installed the proper drivers? Is USB debugging turned on?
Yea I followed the steps exactly.

You did install the Hboot drivers correct? And uninstalled doubletwist or Htc Sync.

Yea I installed the drivers. Htc sync and double twist were never installed.
Sent from my PC36100 using XDA App
I'm pretty sure you need to install htc sync first and then uninstall it to get the driver so your comp actually sees the phone. Try doing that.

Ok I'll try that

When you connect your phone via usb cable and you put in debugging mode....you should see your phone in device manger of Windows.
Debugging mode is a special setting. It's not the same as sync mode. I only say this to re clarify. This process should be straight forward.

Yea there really us no messing up the Unrevoked method. ITS got to be the driver. I would suggest you make sure you see your phone in device manager first.... can you post the link for the method you are using

Thanks playa your idea about the driver helped me fix this. I needed to install the drivers two times once in hboot usb mode and once after I rebooted the phone.

Right, problem is, my PC has finally decided to stop doing what what it's supposed to. More specifically, it doesn't put my phone in fastboot mode anymore.
My question is, how do I root on the latest GB firmware? If I root on when .42 firmware, can I flash the .64 firmware while unticking the kernel option? Is that where root is?
I can usually do stuff without asking questions, but this problem is quite specific and couldn't find an answer Google-ing.

Flash the rootxperia.zip in recovery. Then, uninstall superuser and install a newer version of it from google play/market. Press thanks if I helped.
Note: This can be used on any Gingerbread firmware. Also, root will not carry over if you use flashtool.
Can I flash the .64 firmware then flash that?

No No no! Root Does Not make Fastboot work, fastboot is Enabled only on Generic or Devices That have had a SEMCBoot Patch. Your PC is not the Problem Its your Device or Just you.

Sounds like a USB cable problem, or maybe a USB port problem.

It's a USB port problem.
I was using the dsixda kitchen when my computer switched itself off. I tried the same thing and it switched off at exactly the same point. Ever since then my main USB port stopped working (it was working minutes before). I can't get the drivers for fastboot installed on the other USB port.

I was just about to flash .62 firmware, when I had a thought. How do I get recovery installed without root? Will the auto installer from the market work, or does that need root?

no regardless you need root which is just a simple click you can't get CWM without it the auto staller will not work if you do not have root because it needs su permission
The only way to get root on the .62 firmware with a locked bootloader is to flash .42 and then flash the .62 firmware .zip file which is buried somewhere in android development. Since you can't flash a custom kernel(which root your rom anyways) you can't get into recovery on .62 as installing recovery requires root.
My bootloader is unlocked.
Sounds like a catch 22 situation.
I'll just stick with what I'm on now and wait for an ICS FTF.

It's not a big enough problem to get everything set up on somebody else's computer.
Does anybody know what the driver is called? Maybe I'm going to the wrong folder when trying to manually update it.
Also, when I uninstall the drivers, I get the S1 Boot (or whatever it's called) thing installed but that changes to something like SEMCflash. Is that supposed to happen? Because I read that you need update the S1 one, which disappears/gets replaced.
Sent from my R800i using XDA
If you root it, then OTA, you keep root. Only problem is you can't OTA with an unlocked bootloader.
Try with a different PC?
The drivers are on the Sony unlock site.
I can't install the drivers because the S1boot thing changes to SEMCflash. I get told that it contains no info about my phone or it can't find a better match.

You should be able to override Windows:
Update Driver Software -> Browse my computer for driver software -> Let me pick from a list of device drivers on my computer -> Have disk

I've tried that, that's when I get the messages. When I choose the driver file it says it doesn't contain any information about my device.
I did the same thing with my other USB port and it worked fine til it broke. So why it wont work I have no idea. I still don't know how cooking a ROM can break a USB card.

Hey guys,
Im trying to root my phone using this:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1874801
but when I run the root tool I get the "ADB is out of date. Killing"
Ive tried installing countless random drivers which claim to be ADB and im fairly certain they were but they all seem to have been old ones.
Can someone upload the new ones for me?
Thanks!
Hi,
I had same problem because flashtool was open. Close flashtool if it's open when you root.
Sent from my LT18i using xda app-developers app
It was actually open but even after I closed it, it didnt root!
Sorry for you.
I flash 4.0.3 kernel on 4.0.4 rom, I close flashtool, start the phone, I open doomlord and root the phone. After, I put 4.0.4 kernel with flashtool and restart phone for install CWM.
I had the same problem a month ago... just restart adb... use task manager and end adb.exe process

It wasnt actually that but something similar.
Droid Explorer was running in the background which apparently was also using ADB. Once I closed that it worked.
Ok I'm having serious problems rooting my LG Nitro HD. I have tried Super One Click - Failed One Click Root- Failed the method where you use the LgSystemBackupTest.apk - Failed. The thing that all of things have in common is that they all say that they cant install busybox that they cant find a file and the permission to install is denied (missing ZergRush in the case of Super One Click Root).
My Lg Nitro was upgrade using the lg software to Ice Cream Sandwhich. The debugging was check off. Is there something Im doing wrong, How do I root this device. The Drivers are all there and installed to the lates version. If you give me instructions please tell me what charge option to choose when i plug into my computer. If you need any extra info please me know Ill be more than happy help, I just want to root my device and stay on ICS. hopefully the root suggestion or fixes that you guys suggest wont include me having to download SDK.

This will only work if you have ICS and don't want to install custom ROM's. If you do your device will have to be unbricked using this guide:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2044645
Then since you have win 7 follow these steps:
"1. Follow the guide on the first post of this thread and stop after step 10. (run before.bat)
2. For installing the KDZ follow this: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2149211. This is the process that works in Windows 7.
3. Continue with step 15."

There unfortunately is no way to create a backup without root. With that being said a program like super backup will at least allow you to backup your call logs, SMS, contacts, etc. But once you go through the guide you will have root and CWM.

You can only install a custom recovery like CWM or TWRP with gingerbread so you need to follow the unbricking guide I provided above, just skip to the point of running the before.bat file since you already have root. That is why you got the security error.

You still have to downgrade to gingerbread. When LG came out with ICS for our phones they, like a lot of manufactures, locked the bootloader so a custom recovery like cwm cannot be installed. A custom recovery is need to install a custom ROM like Cyanogen. Gingerbread does not have a locked bootloader so that's the reason for the downgrade. Since you said you have Windows 7 the kdz installer may not work. There are two solutions. 1) Find a Windows XP machine it will work perfectly or 2) look for the post under my name dated March 11 on this thread. I don't know the post number since I just use the XDA app but you shouldn't have trouble locating it. This provides the work around needed to make it work with Windows 7. Good luck.
