Need Root for AT&T Nitro HD Official Rom V20c - LG Nitro HD

I downloaded the rom via LG Support Tool yesterday. I was looking to do so because the leaked ICS rom would restart on me multiple times daily so I could not install ROM manager and flash the rooted version of the official rom. Tried all available rooting tools including Matt's method, Superoneclick, UnlockRoot, and TPSparky. Can someone help me?

Best way, that i choose is install CWM ROM from HO!NO! You need to go though unbricking guide. You can flash leaked firmware from .exe, then root and flash stock GB images. On 10f you can install CWM, then flash rooted 20c.

The only problem is that the leaked rom is unstable and sometimes takes 10 times of it restarting before it lets me get the device on.

You don't have to use the leak... Just download v20c and flash it in CWM.

To clarify, to use HoNo's CWM-flashable version of the official ICS (not the leak), you have to have installed the leak, then unbricked to GB, rooted, and installed CWM. If you haven't flashed the leak, you will boot loop trying to install HONO's CWM version of the new official/stock ICS.

Mine never bootlooped at all.

@mattman86,
It's not installing the ICS leak that does the trick, it's going through the unbricking guide, which you've definitely done because you basically created your own revision lol.

Oh, I see... My bad.

I would need to go back to the leaked ROM in these cases, which is a problem. It is unstable on my device and I might have to send it back to LG for the 3rd time. I need a method of rooting that does not require flashing a ROM.

It didn't work. I have the Transformer Prime and I started with the premise that the Transformer Prime root techniques worked on ICS Leak, so I thought maybe voodoo root keeper would work when upgrading to the official release, but no dice. The upgrade wipes everything clean except the data on the SD card.
I had to run the unbrick procedure.

So there is no way to properly install Clockworkmod from the leak? I've tried to and it gives me this message at boot, "secure booting error! Cause: boot certification verify".
So I need to take it all the way back to gingerbread then install clockworkmod? Please help, I'm confused!

Finally have rooted V20c!!!! I still haven't been able to install clockworkmod so what I did was brianlil's method. Once I rooted V18f via TPSparkRoot and let the phone reset itself 30-40 times (for some reason V18f is notorious for that on my phone. Caused me to ship it back to LG twice). Then I put the image files brianlil provided on SD card and flashed using adb. Turned phone offf, removed battery, factory reset, and voila, rooted LG Nitro HD 4.0.4!!

yes everything wiped.
4.0.2 -> 4.0.4 OTA is like lets say "Windows Vista to Windows 7 Upgrade" saves all data and stuff.
Factory Image is like installing Windows 7 as a fresh new start ("reformatting")

If you are doing the full factory flash you can use the toolkit - it is super easy and is useful even if you want to do the OTA update (I used it and the CWM non-flash method). http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1392310
If you want to do the update use the methods here (I used method 2) and used the CWM from the toolkit: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1419170
how to root 4.0.4? i've tried temporary cwm + su.zip like i did on 4.0.2……with no luck……
su and superuser are installed but it cannot acquire the privilege, nor does it pop up the confirmation dialogue
Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using XDA
I guess the way to do this would be to
1: download the yakju-imm76d-factory-c6e807a1.tgz
2: extract the zip
3: copy the image-yakju-imm76d.zip to your SD
4: use clockwork to wipe/clean cache
5: use clockwork to install from SD file name (image-yakju-imm76d.zip)
6: Reboot
Clean image!!
or am I wrong?

I guess it's because of the secured kernel of stock rom. Have you tried custom kernel like franco's or Glados?
I want to try it myself but I'm at work.
EDIT: Beware though, franco said something along the line that his kernel does not work with 4.0.4 because of different propriety binaries. So a nandroid backup before is recommended.

does it really matter?? cuz if it does, google wont have OTA of incremental versions. and it is definitely ok for going up one by one without wiping anything.

Thanks for the video! I've been using droidmodderx tips and instructions forever, with it bookmarked on the laptop. Yesterday the N10 arrived. Today it's unlocked/rooted in maybe 5 minutes.

[Q] What steps am I missing with my install to kitkat?

To start off the kindle had an older version of twrp and had a version of ice cream sandwich. Those work correctly and it continues to work correctly after a nandroid restore.
Fast forward to now, I installed the latest twrp and flashed the latest FFF v1.5 bootloader.
I flashed this CM11 nightly cm-11-20140702-NIGHTLY-otter.zip
and flashed latest gapps gapps-kk-20140606-signed.zip
After I finish flashing everything I can setup the kindle but once I reboot it goes into a bootloop at the CM logo that results in a colorful screen. If I power off and power on it just bootlopps at the CM logo. Not sure what else I can do. Any help is appreciated.
Forgot to add. I have tried flashing Pacman rom: pac_otter-nightly-20140701.zip and I get same results as above.

Did u wipe before flashing?
Twrp7 can't be use for flashing JB. U ending up using JB by flashing ur old twrp and ROM? Or by flashing via twrp7?

The bootloader gets flashed 1 time and 1 time only. Unless perhaps there is an upgrade you never do this in correlation with flashing a new ROM period.

Have you tried it on a device thats had the new ota update installed?
Also I thought there was a security concern with the kingo root method, something about it being from China and contains malwares that sends files back to its home server, supposedly these files are the ones necessary to clone the device.

have you tried one click root method?

try autorec for installing twrp and use the latest su from chainfire to root.
Yes. I have restored to factory via the flashtool and upgraded to 5.01.
I've tried the one click method I think. However it appeared to work but then got a secure error when booting.
Maybe I need to look at the one click method again. I seem to recall more than one version.

I basically want to flash a stock Rom without all the AT&T bloatware and to hopefully make for a smoother scrolling experience.

Once rooted i recomend fulmics a lot better than atts bullshoot stock rom smoother off the line plus many tweaks available in the rom itself also offers a update system

Damn...still not luck. Restored back to stock via LG flash tool. Still at Kitkat.
I tried installing stump, but fails during installation with no error message.
Try towelroot on kitkat
