su stands for superuser which us the command you use to gain root access.
Root is similar to administrator access on a windows PC. It let's you have access to certain portions of the filesystem you wouldn't normally have.
CWM is a tool that comes with a great backup tool called nandroid that will allow you to backup and restore your phone roms and settings. CWM can clean and fix some things that could be wrong with your phone, allow you to flash updated, custom roms, scripts, radios, kernels, etc.

You WILL need CWR to root. If you use the search in the development thread you can find a DL for it. I would stay away from the touch version but that's just my opinion.

Ok heres my update,
I used followed the instructions from this link:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1514434
I can get into CWM (non-touch) and I have the Superuser-3.0.7-d-signed.zip on my external SD Card.
when I am in CWM and goto install zip from SDCARD, I have only the lost dir.
Why wont this file show up??? that is the question and yes I have verified the file is ON the SD Card.
thanks for all the help!!!
Ciao~
try moving everything to your internal sd card, then install from there.
I almost included that, but NO I choose internal SD
edited my post.....
now when you say everything, are you just talking about the superuser file? becasue that is the only item I have on the External SD Card.....and yes I did use external SD card...but will try using the internal now.

You should have two options in CWM...to choose zip from SD card and external SD card. Just navigate to external.
Make sure it says choose zip and not update.

OK so what u need to do is this u can do it one of two ways A) u can use Odin to flash a custom recovery such as twrp or cwm, then use that recovery and flash the superSu.zip until it says its installed, to do this u need to place the zip file in the root of ur sdcard that means directly on ur internal sd, not in a folder, then flash from there, this is of course if u want to stay on ur stock rom and root it... Or u can do it the easy way and B) use Odin to flash a custom recovery such as twrp ( I reccomend twrp as it's more user friendly) then flash an already rooted custom ROM of ur choice, obtaining root on this device is very easy, I suggest B as its a lot easier for a new user to just Odin the recovery to the phone then flash a ROM...let me know if u need help I'll do he best I can

Hello I just rooted my hox and wanted to install venom x on it. I downloaded the venom x1,2 zip and put it on the root of my phone. Flashed the latest clockworkmod, Installed the boot.img and tried to install the venom x through fastboot. It wont install and I get the message install aborted. Now my phone goes into boot loop and I can only get into fastboot. Also my nandroid backup doesn´t work.
What can I do, is it possible to somehow get from where I am to install the venom x or do I have to re-lock my bootloader and install a stock rom? And does anyone know how to do that on a Mac (I´m a noob) or give me a step to step idiotproof guide on how to do it on a pc.
If you have latest cwm, go to recovery, mounts and storage, mount sdcard. Then you can copy the rom.zip to your phone. That's where it needs to be to flash from recovery.

You install the ROM zip through CWM, not fastboot. Hopefully you copied it to the SD card before starting. Can't help on Mac.

Yes I have the rom on my sd, I tried to install it through cwm (or I think so, went to fastboot, recovery, cleared data, install rom from sd, searched the sd install and from there I get the message installation aborted) am I doing it wrong?
I can do it on a pc if I get a really good guide.

You're almost there. Could be the ROM download is no good. Try verify the md5 hash or just download a new copy of the ROM.

I think you're trying to flash the Venom Kernel Flasher not the actual ROM. Check the size of the file you're trying to flash. The ROM should be about 650Mb. The download link is in this post:

Just noticed, but is it ViperX you r trying to install? Cause current version is.. 1.0.1
For that u install 1.0 first and get ota update to 1.0.1

I can´t wait to try this out am downloading as I´m typing this. Will let you know how it goes.
Nope, you can do it through CWM. So, from fastboot pick recovery. In CWM pick mounts and storage then mount USB storage. Copy the ROM zip to your CD card. Then unmount USB storage and flash the ROM. You may not have flashed the correct boot.img, so you may need to do that as well from fastboot.

Don't forget to flash the boot.img in the rom.zip file first. You can later install other kernels with venom flasher.

Yes, or you could just install the htc drivers..you have numerous links here for them. But the easiest way is just to install the newest htc snyc.
After that try mounting the zip file from the recovery,but dont forget to flash the boot.img from that file first through bootloader
ok I installed htc sync on the pc and when I try to mount usb I get E:Unable to open ums (no such file or directory). Can anyone help me, what can I do?

What is your CWM recovery version? 5.8.3.0? If so, first upgrade to 5.8.4.0 with

All fine here, 2.53 with TWRP, no issues. US Model
Installed and running fine, other than GPS not working, I noticed that wallpaper changes don't stick after reboot, the tablet reboots to a black screen. Other than that the build is solid and snappy.
Thanks for the work.

Closed as per OP's request.
Ok so my phone was going really slow on the PAC rom v22 so i decided i wanted to give the Trinity kernel a try, placed it on sd booted into cwm and installed it, from there on i am completely stuck in bootloop.
So i have trawled forums and alike to come up with an answer to this, most saying just enter recovery mode. My phone wont let me!
I am quite a noob when it comes to this although i have successfully done the process of putting custom roms on my device 3 times before but have never not been able to get into recovery mode. The only thing i can still do is enter CWM, i have tried installing Trinity a few times - same outcome, i tried installing the pac rom again, this bought back an error
Code:
Assert failed: getprop(" ro.product.device") == "LT26i || get prop("ro.build.Product") == "LT26i" getprop ("ro.product.device") == "nozomi" || getprop("ro.build.product") == "nozomi" E: error in /sdcard/*filename* (Status 7) installation aborted
i have tried the sony restore but not being able to enter recovery has kinda hindered this a useless tool for me right now.
I'd very much appreciate you time and help. Thanks

http://androxyde.github.io/
Download, instal, in driver folder instal "gordon gate" (drivers) just to be sure, download STOCK rom and put it in "firmware folder" and other then that, follow on screen steps on flashtool, tutorial is on that site too.
you even have stock rom on that site
http://androxyde.github.io/LT26i_6.2.B.0.211_Customized_MEA.ftf.torrent
So you can get in to CWM. Did u try Factory reset & installing a Pre rooted / stock which is in zip format ?
i suggest you do a clean install of stock. Then repeat what ever you did before, and this time little more carefully.

In flashtool select the flashmode option, choose the firmware> plug in phone to pc in flashmode, flashtool should do the rest, phone should boot up properly after successful flashing.
Just an update, i have now tried to sideload the PAC rom and LT26i_DooMLoRD_leak-JB-197, both return the original error i showed in my first post.
And i still cant get into the flashmode (hold back button) so flash tool seems to be out of the question right now :-/
Thanks for all your suggestions guys, i have finally gotten back into the phone, i was able to install the DoomKernal Which then allowed me to reinstall PAC and now i'm all back up and running again

If you open it on your computer without extracting it go to the updater script and remove that line should be good to go after that.

set_progress(1.000000);
So i assume all of that line that has the ls970, Delete it, And ill be fine? The script will run as intended after?
Only this: assert(getprop("ro.product.device") == "ls970"
|| getprop("ro.build.product") == "ls970");
Then it will flash.
Looks really nice haven't gotten a chance to flash a anything tho but will do tomorrow

Thank ye matey! Ya know what a pirate's favorite letter is?
Wondering if previous "regular" cwm backups will still be recognized with this recovery. I'm assuming they will be but wanna make sure. Thanks

I think it recognized my old ones if I'm not mistaken. They're long gone as I'm a neat freak with memory. I've never used more than half the 32G this phone has, but it's nice to know I have it.
Cannot seem to boot to recovery to install this!
I read that for the Optimus G ls970, you hold Vol-up, Home, and Power to boot to recovery so you can install this zip, but it's not working for me at all. the screen just stays black, and I am at 90+% charged. I have tried a dozen times now. Is the stock boot to recovery just different?

As far as I know this can't be flashed from stock recovery. Root your lg, install freegee from the play store, use it to unlock your bootloader and install one of the given recoveries, I used nandroid manager to boot to recovery but if goo manager has that option too then go for it, but once in your new custom recovery select install zip (from SD card) and choose the philz zip you downloaded. Follow the prompts to complete the install, then select reboot recovery. It will then load to philz. It works. That's exactly how I did it. Don't forget you need to be rooted before using freegee. Framaroot works for that on this phone.
