Have you read any of the threads or did you just download the files and try rooting? Cuz, I swear the answer to any question you might have about rooting is in at least five of the threads about rooting the P930.

I've read through the threads, i tried superoneclick and doomlord from the posts. I don't know if I'm doing something wrong, but i always get failed, my phone restarts and it's not rooted. I've never rooted an android, i need help.

I've been told that this works so give it a try but 'READ' it all 2-3 times before going ahead so you don't fail, I will be trying it on my LG Nitro/P935 after Christmas Day and will report back but there are many others with issues that were solved from what I've read in this thread:

I finally got the phone to root with Bin4ry. It worked like a champ. Now I'm having issues with clockworkmod recovery flashing. I found the bc64-recovery.img and put it on my sdcard. When i tried to use the terminal emulator to set this as the recovery file but the:
=> su
=> cd / sdcard
=> cat bc64-recovery.img > /dev/block/mmcblk0p13
says the access is denied to set as the recovery file. Any help would be appreciated. I've also deleted and reinstalled the TE app and there is no permisions to allow in the superuser app.

What model of the LG Nitro do you have 'P930/P935' or other and did you at least try the link I gave you, just asking?

So... you've read all the threads about rooting the Nitro but neglected seeing where it specifically says in almost every thread that you can't install CWM on offical Ice Cream Sandwich? You have to unbrick if you have official ICS if you want ClockWorkMod. Pick any of the links below. All of them root and install CWM. There is no other way at the moment.

[Q] KF2: Unable to boot into CM10 - Any help appreciated

Hi Guys,
Firstly, thanks so much for the info on this community. I've followed loads of the threads and almost all of what I need to know is here.
I have a KF2 @ v10.3.1. I've rooted it and applied the 2nd bootloader using a homemade lead (thanks to the thread on that!). I started in Windows but switched to Kubuntu after getting driver issues etc.. To compound the problem, the KF2 is blocked by Amazon, which didn't help as I couldn't load apps whist it was stock. (It's not stolen or otherwise illegally obtained. Amazon sent it in error, and despite me contacting them to ask how to return it, they've never replied)
Anyhow, After following THIS thread, which appeared to go OK, after rebooting I'm unable to boot into Recovery. The blue screen just stays there. I can still boot normally, but I would like to load CM10 which is loaded as per the thread, along with gapps, both in zip format. I have read many threads about being stuck on the blue screen, but these are always locked and need to be restored, but I have no problem booting normally and the KF2 is not locked. I've searched this site and googled plenty.
I don't expect an exact answer, but if someone could just point me at what to look at, I'm sure I can find the rest of the info I need on here. :good:
Oh, also. Another quick question. I see that the CM10 images are constantly being updated, if (when I get mine working) I want to use one of these, is it simply a case of copying the zip file over? Or is there more to do than that.
Many thanks in advance.

You can boot normally? Into stock, I assume.
Run the apk tool from here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2106463
Should get you fixed right up
The zip file will have to be flashed from recovery. So, its a matter of copying the zip file (and gapps) over. Boot into recovery. Wipe data, cache, dalvik and system. Then flash rom first, the gapps.
Also, be VERY CAREFUL and make sure you have a GOOD DOWNLOAD by checking the md5 on the file. If you wipe the system (which deletes the stack file) you will not be able to boot into recovery or anything.
I still recommend that you purchase a fastboot cable.
Edit: also, when booting into recovery you might have to hit the power button a couple of times.

Cheers mindmajick. I've tried to do this but still having a few problems.
If I use the wired version, the runme.bat does not have permissions to the data/app folder. I can't seem to run it in Kubuntu as it says I can't run a binary file if I make it executable, but says I don't have permission if I remove execute. (I'm looking into this - but I'm not very good with Linux, so lots of Googling!!...lol....) Also I see that there are some issues with this version with the wireless version being favored. Unfortunately as I'm unable to log onto my Amazon account, I can't use this method.
I will continue to try, I'm almost there now, thanks for you help so far.

I'm still unsure how to run the runme.sh from Kubuntu command line.
I tried - ./runme.sh
but error is - unable to run a binary file - or something like that.
I'm unable to use the cordless version com.powerpoint45.FMKilo-2.apk due to the fact that as the KF2 is blocked by Amazon, I'm unable to log in and download or install .apk files.
Is there is an alternative way to install .apk files without needing to log in?
Hopefully that makes a little more sense. Cheers

Yes. Download the fmkilo apk from his thread, (use the browser if you have to) then once downloaded pull down the notification bar and tap on the apk link. Also, make sure that the option to install from unknown sources is set in the settings before doing the download
You could alternatively push the file via adb to the system Directory.
Is USB debugging enabled? Are you rooted?

Yup, that did it. I had overlooked the fact that I was still able to use the browser on the KF2 and didn't really know you could install .apk's using that method anyway. So now I have carried on and installed Jellybean 4.2.2 on there and it works a treat.
Thank you ever so much Mindmajick for taking an interest in my problem, I really do appreciate yours and the rest of the developers time on here. :good:

Not a problem: Thanks
I think this is a method of pushing the flash and image files to the tablet and then installing using ADB by the way it is described.
I think I have that method copied down some place else.
I have never used this method but, sounds like it would work.
I also presume you need root to do the install via ADB.

ioroot is a batch script for your pc. Unpack it in your PC.

Of course I did that. It's wrong to immediately assume that I did something incorrect.
You may remember that after running the .bat on the pc, after that the process gives some information on the device itself, and that's where I got those errors.

You could try towelroot

HI
ioroot requires the batch file to be altered.
Open it in editor and change the script where it shows v50020b to v50020d and save it.
You can then run the batch file and it will root the LG Pad 8.3

if you can acces to recovery, the only thing you can do is adb sideload ...bin
with an original stock ROM for your fire phone
(.bin must be the extension of the file, that you can get from official amazon site)

Where/how to find hosts file in Android 8.0 Oreo?

Hi fellow developers,
I need to do modify my HTC 10's hosts file, but with the latest OTA update to Android 8.0, I find it impossible to make any functional changes to the hosts file. Does anyone have a clue?
I am rooted, and S-OFF with TWRP recovery.
In recovery, I have tried modifying all of these:
/system/etc/hosts
(which is only there normally when the phone is booted and running, I can't figure out where it's coming from)
/data/hosts
/data/data/hosts
None of these work.
Please help, if you know! I cannot find any information online, after hours of research and troubleshooting...
cheers,
Jordan
P.S. Despite S-Off and root, I find that many root procedures don't work when android is booted, disappointed, cannot understand why. Miss my One M8!

I tried to mount /system as read-write and instead got an "Error : The operation could not be completed".
This is frustrating, as again, I got S-OFF specifically for this purpose.
And SuperSU seems to function normally, asking me to grant permissions.

I have the SuperSU app installed and it seems to run normally.
But I cannot "su" in a shell like you did, cannot mount /system partition as write, really, cannot do anything root.
Do you know what version of SuperSU you rooted yours with?
P.S. Android 8.0 as well, not 8.1 (which I presume hasn't rolled out to OTA yet)

Currently I'm using SuperSU from here https://forum.xda-developers.com/apps/supersu/2014-09-02-supersu-v2-05-t2868133

Navigate to system/bin
"su" file in there?

Thanks so much aM- and fmedrano1977.
I've made progress. I reflashed my phone with the later SuperSU SR5 zip that you posted, wiped dalvik/cache, rebooted. Now I can "su", as well as mount /system/etc as read/write. Success!
There was a couple of catches, at least two or three other apps that don't seem to work with root anymore (like the previous file explorer I had, supposed to support root, but only "root explorer" worked after I bought it).
Now modifying my hosts file seems to have no effect, but I suppose that's another issue for another day. As it stands, I can now edit my hosts file thanks to your help.
Cheers!!
