Have your phone on with USB debugging and unknown sources enabled. Plug in the USB and open the rooting .bat file. Choose option 2 then hit enter. Open backup & restore and restore the rootme backup. Don't touch it from there (unless a box pops up on the phone which you can hit okay) phone will reboot and it should do its thing. The .bat file screen will tell you everything so read what it says. Shouldn't be any hitting of any other option except 2 for the Sony phones.

Pretty ridiculous for ATT to leave that app out to begin with.
This method has worked for me on all the ics fws, so I don't know. Maybe it was a bad flash, try wiping and flashing ics again.

Uhhhh noo to much work am trying to root with the new method

There are threads detailing how to use flashtool and how to flash the ion. You should read them thoroughly. It is pretty simple.

Hmmp..... Any one have screenshot? Of how to do this.

att fusion 2 / u8665

Hello so I am new to these forums but have used them in the past for assistance. I have been trying to root a att fusion 2 aka u8665 ive seen a couple posts on here about how to and someone said they were successful but vauge steps cause frustration.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1920528
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1976657
As i said i have been trying for a while and basically tried everything listed in those two posts, also the post where they said they managed to attain root through fastboot confused me. From what i understood fastboot needs root to be able to operate, otherwise the steps in the post about using adb i just keep running into permission issues where i cant mount anything to root it.

I had trouble myself, but figured it out. I recompiled all the files posted by RFE.

thank you for the quick response, but see the issue i was having is that fastboot is installed through the adb, yet i cant get it to recognize my device. but again thanks for the quick reply but one last thing this recovery.img is it a pre rooted image?

If anyone else would like to contribute please do. I've had 5 attempts at registering this type of device without triggering a call-home. I've swapped out 90% of all the components that brand the phone AT&T (including huawei-hardware-extensions & mobile phone "care"??). When using Titanium Backup you will notice that some of the specially protected APK files cannot be removed or "found" - you will get the message "APK file not found." The only way to get around this is to use fastboot and pull the file from the device before removing it. If you remove the wrong system APK your phone won't be bricked, but it will give you infinite android.acore force close loops and other nasty crippling bugs (such as no touch-keys backlight). If you want to be sure that you are not doing any damage, do a full reboot and cache clear after uninstalling any of the AT&T prepaid system components. Many of the system components can not be removed or replaced with other versions until their dependencies are replaced or removed as well. Titanium Backup once again comes in handy and lets you select an android ID or "profile" which is a UID that is tied to your Google Play / Android Market account. You will have to create a new random Android ID after you have have replaced all the apps. Make sure you remove any files like Twitter that have been specially made for this phone & include a long unique ID like Twitter-3-6-0-(123456)--00000_V300_001.APK - the phone is incredibly fast without any google or ATT stuff on it.

Sent from my GT-I8150 using xda app-developers app

Your title suggests to how to unbrick a hardbricked SGW, but what you are describing is a simple flashing after your ROM rendered to be not booting. This happened already to many of us who tested many ROMs forth and back and has been discussed in many threats, so it´s not new.
This can be done with CWM or even with Odin if you can´t access CWM recovery but only the download mode.
But what we would need is a solution for a hardbricked SGW.

Exactly. I would say a softbrick is when nothing works (even not CWM recovery) exept the download mode. Then you still can unbrick it by flashing the rom via Odin.
This happened to me once. Not a big deal, but a bit risky if something goes wrong while Odin is flashing the rom.
A hardbrick is when even the display doesn´t work and you are even not able to access the download mode. In some cases it´s still possible to unbrick it via Odin by entering the Download Mode with a trick or by doing it "blind".
There is for example a resistor+usb plug solution to enter the download mode in such a cese. Not sure it works with our SGW too, but it works with most Samsung devices.

That was also my intent in my earlier post, because the described procedure has nothing to do with unbricking the phone. It only describes a way how to reflash a rom.

We call hardbrick if there is no Download mode and Recovery Mode (Clockworkmod).

[Q] Need help with lgnpst

Hi, I am new at this, and have no idea on what has to go on. Basically, my phone has gone in a security error and won't boot into android or recovery, although I can go into Download mode. When I do however, nothing shows up in my lgnpst. I have followed all of the instructions on tSilenzio's guide, nothing shows up though. My computer recognizes it as connected, but when I look at the ports, there is a yellow warning sign on it saying it won't boot (which I assume is normal?). Can anyone help me resolve this issue?
Edit: I have a question, I figured what might be the problem. I had no idea that the components were supposed to be installed. On the other hand, when i go to install them, i get a network error "1316" something about the installation being interrupted by the network or something. Is there any way to fix this?

When u first extract the lgnpst pack u should run the auto install as administrator... that may solve ur problem.

Not sure what you are referring to as components... First off did you install this LGNPST: AutoLGNPST-tSilenzio.zip (70.3 MB), IF so then the lgpnst should have installed fully and be ready to use. Secondly I would assume you do have but pays to find out are the LG drivers installed?
Had to remove links, sorry
IF you could provide some screenshots it would make helping easier.
GL!

If I'm reading your question right your asking about changing the COM port to port 41?
If I helped you, hit the thanks button please!

I haven't ever ran the autoinstall, but the issues you're having sound like a bad download, or install.
I'd uninstall your drivers and LGNPST. Then reinstall both.
Follow LGNPST install walk thru, then in the the teeny bin thread under Additional info is another walkthru for using LGNPST.
