rooting error - Sprint LG Optimus G

I am new to rooting lg phone. I have rooted and flashed my samsung transform and epic. Sorry about the rant just a little background on my exp. When i attempt to run the script i get a error adb is a unknown command. I will include a screenshot any help is appreciated. I am running win7 starter which is 32bit if that makes a difference also i downloaded and installed lg latest drivers as well. A couple other thoughts may or may not help i unzipped the files using the windows unzip feature. Thanks for the help.

Did you reboot after installing drivers? Its possible the driver you installed may not work. There's 3 of them here.

Also make sure USB debugging is checked.

Okay so I restarted and went through the steps again received the error once went, through and said it was rooted so ran a second time without running as admin. I was successful in rooting my device. So thank you for all the help and I hope this helps others that may run into this issue.

I had the same problem when gonig to ZVB. I ran KC_Exactly in circles on IRC and I think my solution was the same as yours.

Glad you got it working. Now ya gotta unlock and have some real fun.

I finally took the plunge and unlocked with FreeGee, I had heard so boot loop problems after unlocking and was afraid to unlock (I don't have WiFi to download the firmware if I soft brick it). But it unlocked with no issues and now I'm running stock 4.1.2 with Liberty Kernel. Its so smooth now.

HELP!!!

I've had my phone rooted for about 2 weeks now. I've been playing around with ROMs and their all great. Now, I have a huge problem and I don't know how to solve it. My phone loops on me when I try to get into Recovery (Clockwork). what should I do? ADB is not working anymore. FREAKIN Windows 7!!! I have an unrevoked bootscreen and the phone stalls. So I have no ROM on the phone. Any help getting my phone working again would be appreciated.

Have you tried to reflash the Clockwork?
Did you update your radio? If not RUU it. It will wipe you back to the pre root stock image.

he said he can't get into clockwork so he won't be able to do any of that.
ok. I'm liking what I'm seeing because it sounds like this is fixable. However, The phone has been completely wiped and I'm lost as to what to do to try to recover an image. Please point me to a link with directions.
ps - Thanks for all the help.
Do you need a clockwork image? Its at www.unrevoked.com/forever
Sent from my ADR6300 using XDA App
I have a copy of clockwork, but how can I flash it when I can't use unrevoked because I can't get any further than the initial boot screen on the phone to establish USB debugging.
Put it into a PB31IMG.zip with an android info.txt from a splash screen....MAKE SURE THAT THE CLOCKWORK IMAGE IS NAMED recovery.img
Sent from my ADR6300 using XDA App
I also have s-off. I'm probably over thinking this whole thing. If I could get clockwork back on the phone, things would be fixable very quickly.
You are awesome. Worked like a charm!!! Thank you so much!!!
Very haooy it worjed for you.

Best method?

Just wondering if you guys can tell me what's the best method of rooting my phone with hardware 003 Hboot 2.10 ? Sprint sent me a refurbished phone because my other EVO died.
Unrevoked, I think it works for all evos. Google it or search xda. I can't post the link
We're comin from a pure power source.
Search feature ftw...Anyway as of today, EVERY Evo can be rooted with unrevoked 3 don't let anyone tell you otherwise
The last time I tried unrevoked I got a error saying something was missing and didn't work. I'll download and give a try again, Thanks for the responses

Just follow those instructions, and you'll be good. Just be sure to have the hboot drivers installed correctly.
I used unrevoked, worked great for me. I'm new to flashing roms and it was easy. Just google it and download it from their site. Happy rooting!

Okay, so I just tried unrevoked and I got a error that said "Error: failed to get root. Is your firmware too new?" I don't know what to do now.

Hmm. So you installed the hboot drivers successfully? You have USB Debugging checked, right? There are a number of things that can interfere with the Unrevoked process, such as HTC Sync, Anti Virus Programs, PDAnet, doubletwist, etc etc. Basically, you want to be sure that there are no programs running that can communicate with your phone or interfere with it when it's plugged in, other than the Unrevoked program. Be sure all other things are disabled. Also, which version of Unrevoked are you using? Just to be sure, it's the newest one, correct? Version 3.32, right? ( http://downloads.unrevoked.com/recovery/3.32/reflash_package.exe ) Once you've confirmed all of those things, try running Unrevoked a second time, and see if you have success. I've used unrevoked a number of times, and it's succeeded for me every time, it should definitely work.
Edit: And I just double checked the links in the thread I linked you to earlier, and the download links are current and up to date. So if you downloaded from that link, then you are on the current Unrevoked version of 3.32. So that answers that question. I would temporarily disable your anti virus, be sure that no other programs that can interfere are running, and try running Unrevoked again.
~~~ HTC EVO - Universal Auto Root ~~~ v2.4 (works with all US EVOs)(3/12/11)
I believe autoroot works with ALL evos. I've used it to flash several evos flawlessly. Make sure you have htc sync and the android SDK installed before you do to ensure you have all the necessary drivers.

You gotta install adb driver for Nexus. For my computer, when I enabled usb debugging, it downloaded the driver for me (odd enough) but if your computer doesn't do that, you can Google around to get the exe file for you to install. Just make sure the Nexus has usb debugging on, or it doesn't let you install the driver (from my experience)

It doesn't matter what you're currently on. You will completely nuke your phone when you fastboot the images onto your device anyway.
ok my computer currently recognizes my phone now and i know how to re lock my bootloader what rom should i put it on so they dont know i was rooted before relocking the bootloader. I thought locking it would set it back to default but i was wrong i just had cm9 with a locked bootloader lol i think they would know from that but seriously. What rom should i put to just make my phone 100000% stock

So you got everything stock except the ROM? So you got stock recovery and everything? If you do, first of all, download the stock rom from google site (there should be few versions, that, you gotta find it out) then you need to download clockwork mod recovery (assuming that you got fastboot and adb) now just boot into cwm on your phone and flash the stock rom. By doing this, you're not over writing the recovery but you can still use the cwm
Also you gotta unlock first lol

[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.

Yup. Ports.
You really don't have any 2.0 USB ports? Wow... I thought new computers had a least 1 2.0.
LGNPST has problems with 3.0 ports. I've heard it's hit or miss with it working on 3.0.
Good luck to ya.

[Q] Pull files from boot looping state

Hey fellaz,
Earlier, I was installing some apps for a custom keyboard. I was notified by Android that I needed to update the APK installer (I cannot remember the exact dialog) which I installed. After that, whenever I tried to open ANY .apk file, it kept saying the installer has stopped working. Couple minutes later, the phone rebooted and was stuck in a loop.
I read this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1856188&page=4 , but I am completely new to working with ADB. I did manage to install the SDK and update it. I booted into Recovery mode and tried the command 'adb backup -all' (given in another thread) and I was given "adb: unable to connect for backup."
Unless I did something wrong, I doubt ADB would work since I'm not booted into the phone right? (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=30826050&postcount=32)
I would just like to back up maybe one or two folders that are crucial to me.
Any advice? Is there anything Verizon can do if I take it into the store?
Thanks!
EDIT: Forgot to add that I have the phone completely stock. I'm debating whether or not to do a hard reset as I'm reading conflicting reports of sdcard being saved and not being saved.
Thats your problem. Adb works only on custom recovery's. There is a thread on flashing the stock image via fastboot without wiping data. I think thats your only solution..

hey, I really appreciate your help but I did a hard reset which fixed everything. I did however lose a lot of data (from my last backup).
Again, thanks for your help!
you do not need usb debugging for fastboot so do not worry about turning that on.
