Root the official JellyBean update possible ?

Hi people,
I have just bought a nice Nitro HD. He still under the original stock rom ( Gingerbread 2.3.5 )
So I want upgrade to Jellybean, I see that the official release is unleashed HERE but if i do the update trough this official release, will be able again to root it ?
or is best to upgrade to CyanogenMod ?
Thanks a lot Folk's

Hummm it's seem the link from LG do not provide JellyBean but ICS
http://www.lg.com/us/mobile-phones/ATT_Update/index.jsp
on that page they don't tell you what you will get
So i guess i will install CM10, if someone have a good tutorial to do so it will be :good:
Thx peoples

Yeah, you are better off rooting, installing CWM, then flashing a ROM from there. Even if you want to use LG's official ICS, you may as well use the flashable version by HO!NO! instead of the official release, since you will retain CWM and root that way.

Ok I will install CM10 Trough CWM, so before install CWM it's not require to root the phone ?

You must root first.

As long as you are still on stock Gingerbread that is fine. If you update to official ICS you must go through the unbricking guide (to the best of my knowledge at least).

Did it give any error on CWM while applying the zip file?
BTW, have you tried by ODIN using md5 released by arco?

[Q]

Hi im currently trying to root my WFS useing the Hasoon tool kit and was wondering as my bootloader is already unlocked can i go straight to flash recovery and then to perm root and miss out token id altogether.

if your bootloader is unlocked and you already flashed recovery you just need to flash root.zip to root your phone.
root is a permission containing superuser app and su binary.
main task is unlock bootloader which gives you access to flash recovery.
you can find root.zip in mentioned thread,see attachments (just download it and flash it with recovery and your phone is rooted)

I modified a TWRP installer with this CWM. Replaced TWRP with CWM on my E986 and it works. Updated adb.exe to work with 4.4.
To install just extract the zip contents and run the batch file.

No, you can't flash those files, but if you want to update CWM, why don't you install Philz recovery for the e980, it is great.

I have a e986 german with Stock 20a EU 4.4.2
If I installed cwm it gives me a boot loop into recovery. So I must install my rom via kdz tool and so I have no recovery yet. I found no way to flash a working recovery and unlock bootloader for my phone.
Can I flash this under e986eu20a?

I have send you a PM.

Cannot install updates due to recovery change

So, I got notification saying the new update is ready, I downloaded it clicked OK, rebooted the phone and said entering the recovery but it went directly to TWRP recovery ( previously I have unlocked bootloader and rooted my system and installed custom recovery)
So my question is how do I install this latest update ?

Not wanting to hijack the OP, but I'm trying to install update version 3.28.401.6 on an unlocked UK M8 and I'm in the exact same boat. I heard that the stock recovery for the M8 is different for different providers, so not sure now feasible it is to restore stock recovery to receive the OTA, then go back to TWRP. Is there a way to manually install the update using TWRP?

So you title the thread with your own solution as well. "Cannot install update due to recovery change..." How do I install this update? "
Obviously it would mean you have to have stock recovery, not twrp.

Flash a stock recovery, reboot, install OTA update. Custom recovery can then be reflashed after the update

If flashing stock recovery is too much of a hassle perhaps you shouldn't have started flashing in the first place, yes?
You won't be able to do OTA over TWRP, even the TWRP developers said as much.
Official Updates and TWRP
Excerpt: Installing official updates from your manufacturer or carrier is not supported by TWRP.
Period.
As for the stock recovery you need. Just copy the OTA.zip file to your PC and extract the recovery.img file within the firmware.zip file.

Yes, the main reason I unlocked my bootloader ..... was just for HK mod but then only I realized that my phone is S-ON and S-OFF is only possible using sunshine.
Ok now I have the recovery.img file for my phone.
What should I do with it ?
Using hassoon2000's toolkit select 'your own recovery' and flash that's it ?
And one more question my CIDnum is t-mob009
Does that mean my mobile is tmobile based ?
In my place we have only two carriers and we don't have tmobile,sprint or verizon here.
EDIT : @mroshaw I hope you got your answer from the post #6
EDIT 2 : @BerndM14 just flashed the stock recovery and updated my phone and happy with it
Thanks for helping me mate
Good Luck

Awesome, good stuff. This will definitely help me out too.
Can I ask one quick follow up - where on the phone is OTA.zip stored? I have Root Explorer so just a matter of knowing where to look.
