But...that IS where to start. I don't think a clearer guide exists or could be written...

ok a few thing i might want to clear the model i9250 what its genric name or mean whats its type is it yakuju or jord something like that.....and installing the driver and downloading the firmware from google site what i do next mean connecting the phone whats the app by which i flash through and how to files in the zip i download

In a nutshell (this is assuming you have working adb/fastboot drivers set in your system PATH and that the bootloader is already unlocked):
1. Download the 4.2.1 factory image from Google - https://dl.google.com/dl/android/aosp/yakju-jop40d-factory-279cdc5d.tgz
2. Extract the resulting file using 7-Zip to your Desktop
3. Open a command prompt window in the folder where the IMG files from that TGZ are
4. Connect your phone in fastboot mode
5. Run flash-all.bat
Once finished you'll be on 100% stock 4.2.1

1) i gave you step by step instructions.
2) you're a rom dev, if you cant figure out those instructions you need to stop doing rom dev stuff.
3) read and follow the guide. it takes at most 30min to do and thats if you have to setup everything and dont know a thing about fastboot. it should take you 5min so your "i'm in med school and dont have time" excuse will be pathetic.

How to "root" your Optimus G Pro AT&T

How to "root" your Optimus G Pro AT&T ONLY
This does work great. It will allow root.
1. (Optional if you have another means of un-RARing) Download and install 7-zip from here. You need this to open certain types of archives (specifically .rar, but you might also want to open .tar, .bz2, or other types of archives in the future). This program is supremely awesome in its ability to open almost any archive you throw at it. It's also unobtrusive and efficient.
2. Download and install LG USB Drivers from here. Without these drivers, your computer won't be able to effectively communicate with your phone. This is vital for the steps we will be taking.
3. Enable USB debugging by going to Settings->(General)->Developer options" and checking the box next to "USB debugging." You will get warnings. You can probably ignore them. This setting will allow you to run commands on your phone from your computer (via USB). For more info on the Android Debug Bridge, click here.
4. Download and extract (using 7-zip (or whatever)) the root exploit from here.
5. Connect your phone to the computer with your USB cable.
6. Put the phone into "Charge Only" mode at Settings->General->PC connection->USB connection type
7. Open CurrentRoot.bat and follow its prompts. You will need to change from "Charge Only" to "Media sync (MTP)" mode. The setting is in the same place.
8. Run SuperSU (now in your apps drawer) it and make sure it works. This program allows others to gain access to superuser privileges. For more info on rooting and what kind of stuff it lets you do, click here and/or use Google.

Any chances of a recovery?

No offense but, you literally just copied and pasted this from the original forum. There was nothing added to this that made it custom to our phone other than the title. There might not be a rule against it but I just feel a little weird about it being here. Sort of like a reposted YouTube video.

Being more familiar with Samsung rooting, HTC and Motorola devices. When its time to return the OG Pro to stock and unroot what is the proper method, I think this is also important to have outlined.

will this root method work on an unlocked optimus g pro on tmobile?

Yup, worked fine on my laptop - Win8 64 bit.

I followed the instructions and even ran the currentRoot file as administrator after unrar the whole "ZV9-ZVB-Root folder" to the desktop.
After it says root successful, I still couldn't find the superuser in my apps as described. I have downloaded SU from play store and I still have no root access.
Please see the attached pictures of my root process and let me know if I am doing anything wrong.
Whatever I do, attached pictures are coming upside down. Sorry!

returning to stock from root?
At this point in development, if I root my phone and do softbrick or bootloop it how can I return to stock setup? With the bootloader locked is this not possible at this state. I would like to go ahead and root , but I feel as though there is no safety net. What are the alternatives....
Thanks.....

[Q] [Request Help] New to Samsung and Odin

I'll get to the point, I wanted to root my Note 2 since i was very excited to have it. But after root i noticed i couldnt access phone memory it said i had -10????????????? bytes something along those lines. And i couldnt even access my sd card even when plugged to computer. So i decided to flash a stock rom, this is where the problem is, I'm new to odin and samsung so i have no idea what i was doing and i messed up my phone.I can only get into download mode everything else says to try kies recovery again.
I've checked many threads and tried following the steps they give but odin just gives me fail fail fail. It's a headache.
Anyone willing to help in this matter? I have the Galaxy Note II GT-N7100.
Apologies for making this long and not sure if this is the correct place to post this thread, just need help. Thank you.

Hi Dr Ketan, I know nothing about my note 2 but what I do know is that I have an N7105T (LTE) variant because I live in Australia.
Basically what I would like to do is to take off the official Australian rom that is on my note 2 and put on the official Philippines rom instead.
I want to do this because I cannot control the shutter sound on this rom, and Samsung has removed the radio app which I used all the time, also the contact pictures do not exist in the official messaging app (not ghosts they're not there at all). I would like all of these functions on my phone and my friend who bought one from the Philippines online has all of these functions.
I have downloaded odin 3.7 and I have the samsung drivers installed.
could you or anyone please tell me where I have to go to download the correct Philippines N7105 rom from and then give me a step by step on how to back and and flash the new rom?
Thanks so much, please asume I know nothing and include all steps no matter how minor!

Read first post of link i said, there is link for n7105 same kind of thread.
You may get rom there or find on sammobile.com

BIG Noob Questions
Hi, I am unfamiliar with Samsung Phones. I currently have a LG phone without all this stuff about variants. I have a Rogers phone but I am unlocking it to run on Telus. That said can I run a Telus rooted firmware? Or does it not really matter what firmware is on the phone. Is it worth while to update the radio?
Sorry for all the questions. Thanks for any answers that you can give.

DMF1977, I tried your way. I downloaded Odin and root66_ATT_I747UCDLK3.tar. As soon as I loaded the root66 file, I didn't even get a chance to hit start, both times Odin froze. Then I saw "Check MD5....Do not unplug the cable...Please wait". I had no choice but to shut my phone down because Odin froze and wasn't doing anything. I tried it twice. Then after I unplugged and shut my phone down I saw this in the box " root66_ATT_I747UCDLK3.tar.md5 is valid. Checking MD5 finished successfully. Leave CS..."
I remember last year having a problem with Odin conflicting with something on my laptop when I rooted my Captivate. I ended up having to root it a different way.

It was easy except when Odin froze. I've seen other people have issues with Odin and Kies conflicting. Everything else on the computer was shut down when I did this.

I can guarantee this will work on stock rom 4.4.2 SPH-L710T GS3.
If your willing to try this on any other phones please comment and let others know. Make/model of the phone for starters.
If you will explain your steps taken also would help others out very much! THANK !!!
I received the SPH-L710T after making an insurance claim. I originally had the SPH-L710. Anyway, all I have done so far was use ODIN to install the latest .TAR FILE from
Philz Recovery thread:---> http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2201860 (only custom recovery I recommend to use period) BIG THANK YOU TO PHIL! You can check Philz Recovery out for yourself and how to root this device. I'm not going through the whole thing on how to root and so on. So, I am pretty much running the STOCK ROM that came on the phone straight out the box, [BOOST MOBILE]-[NF4]-[4.4.2]. I did ROOT w/ Philz Recovery very simple. Please make sure you take your time and read directions.
This is CONFIRMED to work on SPH-l710T running the STOCK ROM out of the box but ROOTED and I have Philz Recovery once again. I used SPCUtility.apk to finally get my MSL/SPC that I been reading about the past 4 days and couldn't get it till NOW!!! I attached the SPCUtility.apk for you to download. It did work for me. Took me days of searching till I came across a old post I tried so many different ways its ridiculous.
I ran the SPCUtility.apk and it gave me my MSL(SPC) number with out problem! (FOR WHATEVER REASON WHEN YOU LOOK IN YOUR APP DRAW THE APPS NAME IS MSL UTILITY and the icon is a picture of a lock. Open the MSL UTILITY and hit the Read SPC button. You might want write it down. You want to change your APN TYPE now.... Follow these directions to the T. This was is very easy! By adding the following ",Dun" fixed my hotspot(of course without the quotations) It was very simple. I had to find the APN TYPE option but once I found it, it was a text box and all I had to add was ,Dun and hit ok. REBOOTED and it work that easy! . AGAIN follow this EXACTLY and you should have no problems finding the APN type option.
GUIDE FOR GETTING YOUR HOTSPOT TO WORK:
STEP 1: Download the attached file named SPCUtility.apk to phone or EXTsd card. Now install it. Go to your apps and run the MSL Utility app that you downloaded. Click the Read SPC button and write it down. (icon for the app is a lock)
STEP 2: Okay so Go to dial pad and type ##3282# (##DATA#) and hit EDIT then enter the MSL/SPC number you wrote down from STEP 1.
STEP 3: Next go to MORE and select it...
STEP 4: Scroll down to LTEAPN SETTINGS and select it.
STEP 5: Select APN2 LTE internet. Scroll about half way down and select APN type and add ,Dun and select OK.
REBOOT AND PROFIT !!!
ENJOY
Please hit THANK YOU button if I was of any HELP TO YOU!
It would be very appreciated! This took a lot of time and research to get this working. I couldn't find anything on a working HOTSPOT. Only info I could find was paying for an app from the play store. Well in this case its completely FREE !
Please leave some comments or a simple reply!

So anybody else try this out??? I would love to get some feedback for others. Im seeing alot of views but no replys..... Wow this was huge for me. I was so excited to have my HOTSPOT back and working finally. Since i got this tri-band phone i thought i was gonna have to run sprints software to get my HOTSPOT working but that was not true. Some replys would be nice. I love and enjoy XDA very much. Such a great community!

@covergeek you can try using odin and flash the NF4 stock .tar file. Then flash the philz recovery .tar and root it again. Its very simple. Look around the threads for the stock NF4 .tar and go from there..... just a thought. It will deff give you the hotspot option in settings under your connections tab. I attached the screenshot. Follow the directions in the thread on the NF4 .tar to make sure you do it right. Might wanna ask questions first to make sure. Im positive someone will assist you with any questions you might have before committing to the NF4 build. Then try my guide

Cool..thanks for the info..

No problem bro. Anything i can do to help. Once you get either NF4 build or ND8. USE my hotspot thread and its sure to work! Rooting once you odin philz recovery is super easy. I even added the superuser update file in case its needed. Just flash the updated supersu thru recovery and you should be good to go. It will do its thing and reboot. Make sure to download busybox and supersu by chainfire. Thats what work for me. I had a problem at first but flashed the UPDATED SUPERSU file and that did the trick. Also download root checker. That will confirm you have root.

Im sure it will. Follow the guide. You wanna find that option APN TYPE. Not 100 percent on if your menu is exactly like mine but im 99 percent sure it will be. Once you go for it let me know either post it here or pm me. If you need any help during the process please ask for help. Its very handy if you have a pc to communicate during the process. It will make it easier for me to help if you run into any confusion.... Also please reply and give feedback for others that might come across the same thing as you do. Im pretty sure it will be the same as my guide explains...
Also its very easy to root these phones. I recommend using ODIN and flash Philz Recovery .tar file in the PDA slot. Uncheck auto reboot and other option. Once you get the green pass sign. Disconnect phone, pull battery and enter recovery mode. There a option to root phone in the menu. Very easy. There is alot of helpful guides here to look at. Good luck to ya. Pay attention to them. You need to flash the 4.4. Know as the kitkat bootloader if you upgrading. Depending on what you are already running on your phone.

After you (re)root with Philz, install/update SuperSU via play store.

Have you went to the playstore and downloaded busybox by stericson and SuperSU by chainfire???? Thats a must. After you download them try recovery mode and re root. Check the option the verify root on exit. If that still does not work try installing the SuperSU-UPDATE that I attched to this post and install it thru recovery.

Well crazy thing I had it. After reboot it everytime I lost root n superuser. I downloaded superuser n after reboot it gone n my root gone.
