You give absolutely no description about what fails so how would anyone be able to help you?
So first how did you root?
Which tutorial, if you flowed one, did you use?
What rom did you try to flash?
What errors did you get?

ADB is out of date. Killing

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but when I run the root tool I get the "ADB is out of date.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.

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.

Received software update, is it still ok to try freegee?

I was thinking of unlocking my Sprint LG og today, but received an update early morning.
Would it be okay to try unlocking or should I wait until further update by developers about freegee project?
I've posted the same question to freegee thread.
Another thing I noticed is on my Windows machine I probably don't have LG driver (my primary os is Linux and I rooted using my Ubuntu laptop) where can I find the Windows drivers?

Do not update to ZV9. Unlock and Root then flash the ZV9 or Lifeless ROM in Development. If you update you cannot root.

Checked software version and it has ZV8 at the end and I've already rooted the phone.
So I think as long as my software version does not end with ZV9 I can safely unlock, right?
In that case where can I get LG drivers for Windows or unlock method (freegee) for Linux? Thanks

just go to the lg site for the drivers and i suggest getting the freegee app for 1 dollar on the play store. easiest method and you get to choose your recovery method.

Awesome thanks a lot guys, I'll get freegee app
And I agree I didn't read a lot before posting but was mainly confused because of update

Root LG Nitro HD on ICS

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.

Because you tried flashing a custom recovery after root. Gotta unbrick. Pick a guide and do it.

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.

Can't do the LS970_ZVC OTA update

I don't know how to start talking about this so here we go...
I tried updating OTA with my phone rooted. I never unlocked bootloader btw. In the midst of updating, I got the android laying flat on his back w/ the red triangle w/ the exclamation point in the middle. I freaked out and was bout to cry until my phone booted up. I never had that happen.
A few days later, I decided to unroot my phone and try updating again (because the constant popups were annoying) and same problem.
My last resort was factory resetting the phone and try the update...no dice.
So I need help.
1) How can I update when it just...won't let me. Another option is
2) How can I can turn off the pop up notification. I know how to turn off the status bar notification. Or a REALLY DRASTIC OPTION is
3) How do I unlock bootloader? I am terrified and would want proof but this method is if I am REALLY desperate.
If nothing works, I hope I can take my phone up to Sprint and exchange it for an HTC 8XT, since my phone is still worth something...I hope.
Thanks for people who respond and try to help me in advance
EDIT: Scrolling through forums I found someone who posted the same thread like mine so...you can do whatever you want to this thread.
I apologize.

Don't OTA it then. Download some ZVC rims in the Android development section..... I believe Mr.Nerdz ZVC is a stock rom with no tweaks what so ever. Dunno if it comes root or not and if not, rooting and unlocking is the same as ZVB

Then use the sbl unlock in FreeGee's menu.
Or LGNPST with teeny bins. Both unlock the same way, just with a different delivery.
