I'm tyring to root my LG Nitro HD after I updated it to software version LG-P930-V10j-FEB-26-2012. Can I even root? Is there a way to root? If neither, could a very awesome dev find a way around the update? I would be eternally grateful.

Sorry, there is no way to root for now. I‘ve tried all of the methods. If it‘s so critically to you, come back to stock rom before update.

How do you go back to stock ROM?
Nitro HD root
Figure if you really want to root then do a factory reset.
Nitro HD Root
Nevermind, just realized that won't reset the update... I think we're screwed!!! On top of that, I think messing around trying to get my phone to root has really slowed it down too.

I thought mine slowed down a lot after attempting root processes over and over water I believe happens is the RAM gets clogged (I saw it a lot wen flashing different firmwares wen I was in the PSP hacking scene) so wat I did is just let my battery die all the way out and leave it dead for awhile maybe even take the battery out wen it dies for the RAM to clear

From what I have been able to find out we are not totally screwed... you need to use the "unbrick" guide found here. But I have not had any luck with this because I do not have Windows (I use OSX and Fedora Linux).
If anyone can figure out how to do this with either that would be awesome
Yeah I've been trying to follow the unbricking method that Machzelet posted but I can't get one of the programs to open in Windows 7.
Guys, all you need to do is to carefully read the guide and carry out step by step, as they have written.
UpTestEX_mod2_marwin.exe
Hey I'm just having this huge problem with UpTestEX_mod2_marwin.exe not running at all. I can't get it to open no matter what I do. XP Compatibility, Run as Administrator, nothing works. Otherwise the guide was going very well. Everything seemed to work perfect up until that point.

Well, there is no logical reason is that the program does not start. Try to download that is below and run it. I have it runs perfectly. If this fails, then the problem is in the PC.
Alright I'll try it again when I get home. I did try redownloading it and running through your guide on a different computer, and once again got hung up on that program. I'll let you know if this one works when I get home.
Today I updated my galaxy to version 4.3 and I hate it. I was using planet to surf the web on my laptop and the update has somehow stopped pdanet from working. I looked around to try to find how to uninstall the update. I did not really find anything except these custom Rom things. I am willing to put a custom rom on my phone I just want to be able to use pdanet again. I looked for a guide to do this but did not find anything, I'm sure there is one though. If someone could point me in to the direction of a guide that will help me I would be greatly appreciative as long as it is on more basic terms I can understand. I just want to be able to use pdanet again to play games and surf the internet. Thank you

If you accepted the 4.3 OTA, there is no way to go back to MD4 at this time. The update has installed the Knox bootloader. You will brick the phone if you try to go back to MD4. Until the devs find a way around this, you're stuck on 4.3
I rooted my old milestone many years ago but havee been keeping my devices stock ever since, until today that is. Today I decided I wanted to try to root my Samsung SGH-I747M with Telus and everything seemed to start off smoothly. Once installed the SuperSU stopped working. I tried fixs I had read online such as updating the app, but this did not work. I read on a forum that you could flash something to disable know to help fix the problem. When I tried going this avenue I was not able to reboot my phone. I tried restoring from a backup taken before flashing, but I havent done any of this in so long im not entirely sure the backup took properly. At one point I got a message saying no OS was installed but after restoring this seemed to go away. I apparently do not remember anything about rooting from my milestone and am hoping someone may be able to help me get out of this mess. I am currently downloading the stock firmware and I think I will try flashing it tomorrow. I also was hoping someone could point me in the direction of a thread on xda that went into a more detailed explanation of how rooting works, what specifically roms and flashing all is and does. Any help is greatly appreciated.

The Only problem is I already attempted to follow this and my phone will no longer boot up. Also I tried navigating through the stickies. couldn't find much info for my device. I will be trying to flash the stock firmware tonight but I want to have a clear understanding on what flashing is and what the difference is between os firmware kernel and rom and such BEFORE flashing this firmware tonight. I hope someone will be able to help.

Well that info is already in the Sticky Index. Understanding what you're doing (or about to do) is really important but you gotta start reading, it's all there.
OS, firmware and ROM are the same thing.
When your phone boots, it basically goes: Bootloaders -> Kernel -> ROM (OS).
The kernel has pretty much all the "underground" controls (RAM, Mhz, governor, scheduler, BT, Wifi, etc).
I won't write everything but those are the basics.
Also, having a Canadian variant of the S3 (that's what the M is for), doesn't change much other than flashing bootloaders and stock ROM (which you'll wanna use the Canadian variant bootloaders and Telus ROM for stock). Everything else is basically the same.

Sweet I will definitely check that out. So I did flash twrp to my phone. Is it possible that I flashed the version say for the i747 but not the m version and that is why the phone wont move past the samsung screen? Also should I attempt to get rid of twrp before flashing the stock firmware. This should answer all my questions and then I will explore the stickies some more.

If flashing a stock ROM, flash the Telus one. If flashing a custom ROM, it doesn't matter (I747 or M variant), as long as it's D2LTE.
Your recovery doesn't change anything to flashing with Odin, it will overwrite it.
Flashing the stock firmware fixed my problems. Thanks for all of your help and I will definitely be checking out the links that you sent me before trying to root again tomorrow.
DOES ANYONE KNOW WHERE THIS BASE BAND COMES FROM. I TRIED TO GOOGLE IS AND NOTHING SHOWS UP?
n900tuvuenj3, IM ON A UNLOCKED NOTE 3 FROM T MOBILE RUNNING ON 4.4.4 AND I CANT FIND ANYONE THAT HAS THE SAME FIRMWARE AS I DO. 4.4.4 SUCKS I WANT TO DOWNGRADE OR RE FLASH THE FIRMWARE.
[emoji15] [emoji15] [emoji15]
I have no clue, I can't find anything on it. Where and when did you get the phone?
And before you do anything, can you please make a dump of it? I can help you step-by-step through the process, if necessary. Please? [emoji120]
I got the phone from a guy on Craigslist, the phone was rooted and i wanted to unroot it so i got the stock firmware for sammobile and re flash 4.4.2 as soon as the phone booted up it said i had another update. After all was done i ended up with 4.4.4. And i have had nothing but problems.
Sorry i have no idea what a dump of my phone is bro.
Basically, it's just pulling a copy of the ROM from the phone. See here.
Your ROM seems to be unique, and I'd love to be able to take a look at it.
Do yoy have to be rooted, if so i dint want to root because i cant flash the stick rom if something happens. Because i cant find it lol
I'm not sure if you have to be rooted...I would assume you probably do, but I'll look into it and get back with you on that. In the meantime, can you download this app (don't worry, it's free), and either post a screenshot or copy down everything under the 'FIRMWARE INFO' and 'OS INFO' sections?
Especially the Bootloader Version. That'll tell us whether or not we can get you downgraded to 4.4.2. If so, I'll be more than happy to walk you through the process step-by-step. The rest will help tell me more about the ROM. The app has some functions that I know need root, but I'm pretty sure it'll still give you the info I mentioned.
I'm real curious about this ROM...
Edit to add: Just FYI, if you were rooted, you could make a clean backup of everything with TWRP or CWM, in lieu of having the original ROM to flash, but until we know what bootloader you're on, we can't be 100% sure that a custom recovery will work, so it's best not to risk it at this point.

First off, I am a newbie here, so please be kind.
I have a Samsung Galaxy Note 4 (SM-N910V), running Android 6.0.1 stock Verizon ROM.
I have been getting some strange battery issues. Not charging to 100%, shutting off at 35%, stuff like that.
I have wiped the cache partition and done a factory reset with no luck.
I have replaced the battery.
When I boot into recovery mode, I get dead Android, no command.
I don't know if the problems are related, but I suspect so.
Don't know what else to do. Any help would be appreciated.

Do you have an unlocked bootloader (root)? You could try reflashing twrp with odin to get recovery back.
No, not rooted. Have always been afraid to brick the device. If that is the direction that I have to go then I will give it a shot. I figure there are enough directions on here I could probably figure it out.

If you don't want to root, you could try flashing the cpd1 firmware with odin and that should overwrite what might be throwing off your battery calibration. Unless it's a hardware problem that is. Are you comfortable using odin? Also if you have no interest in rooting, you could flash the most recent firmware.
I am a little familiar with Odin. I used it to put Android 6.0.1 onto my phone. Cpd1? This is the first that I am hearing (or reading) anything about cpd1. I would be interested in rooting, the biggest problem that I have with doing so is that most of the instructions that I have found are written for someone who has a better grasp of this stuff that I do. Do you know of any simple step-by-step walkthroughs? One that a newbie like myself could actually follow.
From what I've read about rooting, I am definitely interested, but still paranoid about bricking the phone. I do have an S5 as a backup if need be, so I am reluctantly willing to give it a shot.

I was just referring to the first mm firmware that ends with cpd1 and the reason I suggested that particular one was just in case you were thinking of rooting. If you use any of the "safe" firmwares you should be ok though. I agree about the rooting process, it's not the most user friendly thing I've ever seen, but it really isn't as bad as it looks. As long as your using the files provided in those threads there really isn't a huge risk in bricking your phone. Worst case scenario, you get into a jam that takes a little while to get out of so be sure that you leave yourself time to recover in case you can't use your phone for a couple hours. I think the worst part is the instability of kingroot which means you have to do all the adb commands as quick as possible and the fact that if you want mm you have to do the root process twice. These are the two posts that got me through it:
Lollipop
Marshmallow
Start with Lp first, it's necessary to unlock that before going to mm. If your problem is software related, installing the firmwares to root should fix things. Best of luck!

First off, thanks for your help. I appreciate it.
I finally got around to trying to do this with my phone and I can't even get past the first step. Install King Root, 4.8.5. I've tried 4.8.5 and 5.0, and neither one of them can get root access. Don't know what else to try.

Did you ever have any luck with kingroot? If you haven't tried already, do a factory reset before you start the process and if it fails uninstall, reboot, reinstall and try again. I know it's a frustrating process and it seems to take most people many tries. When it fails on you how far does it get?
Kingroot was really frustrating. It would never get past 52%. After countless tries I moved to kingoroot. Kingo root worked on first try. Glad I unlocked and rooted my note 4

No luck on Kingroot. It usually dies around 25% or so. Sometimes a little before that and sometimes after that. It never even got into the 35% range.
What I think I am going to do is go back to kitkat, original samsung rom. Try Kingoroot and see if that works. If not, I will push lolipop to it and try kingoroot again. If that doesn't work, I will try to push Marshmallow to it and try one more time. Hopefully one of them will be successful.
Ive never had issues bringing a device back on OS but this N4 is kicking my a&% bad. bought a used ( basically new ) sm-n910v it was updated to 6.0.1 mm and I'm not crazy about the MM I like KK and ive tried every firmware file known to man ive tried to slowly step back from 6.0 to 5.1.1 then 5.0 then 4.4.4 and they all fail says binary fused to boot 1 or something else and with 5.1.1 gets right to the end 99% then fails. would like to root and BL unlock any suggestions would be great. thanx in advance.

I believe you can only get root on kk with a developer edition version of the v model. If it's a retail version and you want root it has to be at least 5.1.1 unfortunately. Have you tried the links in this post? Imo those are the best guides that I've seen to get your bootloader unlocked.

Yah I've tried most of them 5.1.1 gets to 98% then pooches out its exciting then bombs out, lol 4.4 doesn't get passed cache then fails. I'm using Odin 30.9, high quality data cable, thing is I can't move 》 till I can root to unlock the bootloader. My CID is 150 so that's good and I'm factory resetting the phone and pulling the SD card so it cannot mess with the flash. I'm running the NO_ A boot firmware that flashed perfect. Maybe I'm doing something wrong but I'm following the directions to the point.

I'll give it a shot, right now I'm a Lil burned out on trying this because my other phone LG g4 is boot looped for no reason so I'm down to just my N4 and my N3 my gf has it. I forsee a big cup of coffee at 3am and let the flashing begin. Oh FYI I did try I think Odin 3.10 version it failed quicker so I'll try this version in the morning. I appreciate your help very much you'll be the 1st to know if it pushes through. Merry Christmas btw.
back on topic, I'm seeing kernel wakelocks for msm_hsic_host on Oscar kernel v1.3 but I'm pretty sure that was not always the case. Since that kernel hasn't been updated in a little while, I'm looking at others. Anyone got a preferred kernel with JasmineROM 7?

What I've noticed with this bootloader unlock is, like right now I'm 5.1.1 and my bootloader is unlocked but not rooted. OK if I use the the no A boot 6.0.1 file to flash mm it's stay unlocked and you can be rooted but if you use the normal full firmware 6.0.1 cpd1 file you lose your unlocked BL and back to start. Normally you unlock a BL it's stays unlocked no matter what you do. OK bugs with the no A boot 6.0.1 mm file no WiFi that's it. I really dislike 5.1.1 it sucks so there's not a lot of choices here. Good work on this exploit though.
