Hey guys, I am a new Android user, and I need help to root my phone. I have read many threads about rooting DHD, but I am not really sure if I am certain to do it by myself. I also updated my software, it is 1.83.415.4
I am seeking help from anyone that can go through Rooting steps with me. So if you happen to have free time to help me hook up my phone, I would really be glad.
I really wanna root my device, please guys help me.
I would like to add to this question,
I sort of gathered on how to root I first download and install visionary,then temp root and then perm root and then flash a new ROM is this correct?
Another thing I plan to use Cyanogen 7 rc1,would I use all my contacts if I flash a new rom?
I've temp rooted mine but that's as far as I've got. I want to use a different ROM but don't fancy having the wolds most expensive paperweight.

Use MyBackup to backup / restore your contacts, although provided google backup is enabled it should take care of them

As long as you carefully follow the instructions, you are very unlikely to end up with a bricked device, flashing radios is the most likely stage to go wrong.
Can i recommend the CyanogenMod Wiki's root and flashing instructions
Hi, I have tried rooting about 20 times (not even kidding), and almost every time it gets stuck on step #7. I have installed drivers from LG and have phone in debugging mode. (I tried doomlord, but it won't recognize my Nitro) Does anyone have any advice to help me root my Nitro?
*Mods, feel free to move this to the rooting section, it just wouldn't let me post in there*
Try rooting it the way they root the optimus. That's what I did and it worked fine.

Did you use the latest SuperOneClick 2.3.3 for rooting your device? I can confirm it works with LG LU6200...

If this isn't working for you, this should:

(its working in ADB mode, make sure your device is in USB debugging mode and connected to your PC)
Good luck!
Use doomlords root

Use SuperOneClick v.2.3.2 and not 2.3.3. The latest version don't want to root our Nitro. I can't understand why, but 2.3.2 version root very well.

Remove the SD card( or unmount it), i got the same problem here and it thats what worked
What worked for me was installing the Android SDK package.
I was hanging at step #7 as well and after installing the package it went through.

Click on a link in my signature and download from my guide. I have an issue to upload the file right here.
problems rooting too!
So this being my first post and all please dont freak. I searched as best I could to find the proper thread to ask this and this seemed like the best option. So here it goes.
I myself tried rooting my phone with Superoneclick and after numerous attempts I failed miserably. So I tried Doomlord's rooting method. I thought I had figured it out because at the end it said "OK!" and it even rebooted my phone but when I tried to DL Titanium backup and busybox it said it could not gain root access. My question is, first would it be safe to attempt the root process again, or if not any ideas on what I might have done wrong and maybe a solution to fix it?
Thanks again
P.S dear Mod if this was the inappropriate place to post this I apologize in advance.
i would download the superuser app and see if tibu finds root
also, there should be no prob running the rooting app again if you choose to, if you are rooted already it should return a *already rooted* message.
So I tried dl superuser and that did nothing. I even did a master reset maybe thinking that I might of changed a setting I want suppose to, and even that didn't work. Like I said I can't get SOC past step 7 and I've tried all the tips I read on here to get past that problem but nothing. Doomlords looks like it worked and it reboots my phone but still nothing. I would really truly appreciate any help!
thanks again

I cant get my screen shot to upload. I've tried everything. Anyhow, I still can't get my phone rooted. When I rooted my Aria, I used a program on my MAC that rooted it in about 20 seconds. Whatever happened to that?

Apples and oranges. The two programs used to install custom recovery on the Aria utilize exploits in the HBOOT, which is something only HTC devices have.
What software version do you have on your device? (Look in Settings > About Phone > Software version)
I'm having the same situation. Everything I've read says that if you did the security update without root already then you can't root now. I would love for some one to prove me wrong and show me a way. IM running 2.3.5 v10j with kernel 2.6.35.11.
Thanks

You have the recent update installed which makes it impossible to root the device. There are still methods to get the device rooted but it is not simple and basically involves this process: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1597488
I would urge you to make sure you know what you're doing before attempting this though.
I had the above problem with not being able to root my phone due to the software version i had. I had to use the "unbricking guide" and after some challenges i was able to restore the phone to stock with root. It is risky, but at this moment im not sure theres any other way to do it, unless someone with programming skills can find an alternate method to go back to a previous version of the software without resetting or unbricking the entire phone.
hello,
my brother just got an evo 4g and he want me to root it. he says he cant do anything with all the bloatware and its driving him insane. i ve been doing some research here, but im highly confused. i rooted my zte merit, but all of the instructions for rooting the evo are way more complex and advanced, plus most ppl are flashing a custom rom when they do it. i don't want to flash any rom if its possible. with my zte merit i did a few things with the command prompt and then i pushed the su binary to the phone and it was all done. i was hoping somebody could either post the simplest method of rooting the evo 4g or maybe put up a link to a guide. thank you. i'm sorry if i seem a little uncomprehending but android phones are still new to me. ive always been more of a computer girl myself.
Follow this video guide. Let me know if you run into any issues.

Make sure you are fully updated on your stock. If you have the sprint lgog, you should be on ZVC. You don't HAVE to be but it will lead to less headaches later. Look for an app called framaroot (you can google it, Im not sure if it's in the playstore). Choose the Gandalf exploit and you should be good to go(after a restart). If you want to unlock the bootloader, install the FreeGee app from the play store. Very simple to use but if you need further help there are guides already on here that should help. Just search!
Go here bro...

The mighty @engine95 was nice enough to develop a guide that walks you through the process.

Im on zvc so were good there. I just go to the post and go from there right ?
Just used framaroot. Holy cow have things gotten easy compared to the hoops i jumped thru for on my nexus s haha thanks guys u rock !
im going to make this short and sweet. Ive tried every method on the internet that i can find to root this phone. Methods include; stumproot, towelroot, framaroot, and root methods using the pc and running other programs. My software version is D58110r idk if that is what is stopping it from working or not. Ive also tried to use the lg mobile support upgrade tool just to upgrade to lollipop. im coming from a nexus 5 so this is my first time rooting a non nexus device in years(other one was the lg optimus v on virgin mobile). PLEASE SOMEBODY HELP ME...
Google is your friend. That software version fixed the exploit. You need to downgrade, root and then upgrade using one of a couple different methods out there.
You do not need to downgrade just use this One Click root and honestly its impossible to screw up your phone with this method. This will root your phone regardless of what firmware you are on. Link Provided below:

Thanks guys I'm going to try that right now. Didn't mean for post post to come off as too forward just really frustrated. Thanks again

I can confirm that this method works flawlessly on 10r. I also strongly advise staying on stock root, using SkyDragon !.61 kernel with recommended settings in OP if you want things like your camera and LTE to work without big hassles. I also used Titanium to freeze what little bloat/unused apps, and I can report 0 FC's, and at least 24 hour battery. Ihave gotten as much as 64 hours. Good luck! :good:
