I wanted to find out if anyone thinks it would be useful to be able to root ICS and install CWM without having to downgrade to GINGERBREAD first? I have pulled the unlocked bootloader from the P936's v10i Rom and replaced the locked bootloader from ICS and install CWM Touch and therefore eliminating the need to unbrick your phone first. This includes either full stock or after a fresh install from v18f/v20x. This is done through ADB using a simple bat file.
So I just need to know:
1. Yes I think this is useful or
2. No this isn't useful.

1. Absolutely. I am on ICS and installing a recovery seems a pain in the ... Of course every easier method would be highly welcome.

You cannot unlock the bootloader on ICS and you need an unlocked bootloader in order to install a custom recovery from what I have seen and read.
I saw in another post that someone was able to do and I would love to see a bat file that saves us the trouble of unbricking.

I found a way . Actually it more accurate to say that I found a way to push an unlocked boot loader that bypasses the lock. Fully tested. I will provide more details when I get the thread done. No unbricking needed.

Awesome. Do you know if this would work on a P935 as well or did you just try it on a P930?

Hi i am noob as you see with my stupid question. Can i flash CWM by using Haseen2000's One V All-In-One kit, should it be safe, i use GSM version. If something goes wrong, can i flash TWRP, or should i use simply TWRP included with it?
Can i just root my phone by unlocking bootloader, then flashing recovery and then do "Perm-Root" command, should that be fine
better to flash twrp

Ok, so should i be fine with this:
1. Unlock the bootloader (got the unlock_code.bin from HTCDev)
2. Flash TWRP
3. Perm-Root option
Should my phone then be rooted, or do i need to do something else?
I am bit worried just because this is my first Android phone and i am not fully familiar with those things, but i want to do it.
Can there be problems with this?
Yes the order is right.

Great, so i guess, let's do it.
Does rooting and using stock ROM unlock anything stuff etc.. from it?
Rooting will give access to the system files of your android and grant u administrative access over your device,whether u stay on stock or install a custom ROM.

Hello
This is my first post on xda forums. I just purchased LG optimus G E975 ( indian version ) yesterday
I have used this guide
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2163814
to root my phone and I there is no error in rooting and I can find the superuser app installed.
I have a simple doubt by using the above guide is my bootloader still locked or it's unlocked in the process ??
I also want to keep my stock android and don't want to use Custom ROM as of now ( I would like to explore features that LG provided )
I just want to unlock my bootloader and have full root access and want to install custom ROM clockworkmod.
Thank you

Succes ? I'll get my e975 in a few days. And of course want to unlock BL, root and if there are some, to flash custom kernel.
FreeGee not working on E975(yet).I have E975 10c(4.1.2)(Orange romania) and i also want cwm on it.Rooting procedure is very easy,took me about 1 minute(thanks fiddy for that).
Unfortunately i couldn't find anything related to cwm.
Also, is there way to check bootloader status?
Thanks.
CWM is not available and will not be.
unlock is working with another version of freegee.
but is not public and Shelnutt2 is working on an easier way, but he need some files.
please try the latest freegee beta: http://downloads.codefi.re/shelnutt2/optimusg/freegee/FreeGee-beta.apk
starts the unlock method and upload the files for freegee to support your rom in the future.
thanks

Just an update, as soon as some from HK or tw can send me the ICS sbl stack we can move forward with a better unlock. If no one offers up to dump the images soon I might have to ask someone on an e975 to kdz to their ICS firmware and grab them for me.

Are you rooted? What happens when you unlock? Does it just reboot to a black screen?
Ok I'm having serious problems rooting my LG Nitro HD. I have tried Super One Click - Failed One Click Root- Failed the method where you use the LgSystemBackupTest.apk - Failed. The thing that all of things have in common is that they all say that they cant install busybox that they cant find a file and the permission to install is denied (missing ZergRush in the case of Super One Click Root).
My Lg Nitro was upgrade using the lg software to Ice Cream Sandwhich. The debugging was check off. Is there something Im doing wrong, How do I root this device. The Drivers are all there and installed to the lates version. If you give me instructions please tell me what charge option to choose when i plug into my computer. If you need any extra info please me know Ill be more than happy help, I just want to root my device and stay on ICS. hopefully the root suggestion or fixes that you guys suggest wont include me having to download SDK.

This will only work if you have ICS and don't want to install custom ROM's. If you do your device will have to be unbricked using this guide:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2044645
Then since you have win 7 follow these steps:
"1. Follow the guide on the first post of this thread and stop after step 10. (run before.bat)
2. For installing the KDZ follow this: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2149211. This is the process that works in Windows 7.
3. Continue with step 15."

There unfortunately is no way to create a backup without root. With that being said a program like super backup will at least allow you to backup your call logs, SMS, contacts, etc. But once you go through the guide you will have root and CWM.

You can only install a custom recovery like CWM or TWRP with gingerbread so you need to follow the unbricking guide I provided above, just skip to the point of running the before.bat file since you already have root. That is why you got the security error.

You still have to downgrade to gingerbread. When LG came out with ICS for our phones they, like a lot of manufactures, locked the bootloader so a custom recovery like cwm cannot be installed. A custom recovery is need to install a custom ROM like Cyanogen. Gingerbread does not have a locked bootloader so that's the reason for the downgrade. Since you said you have Windows 7 the kdz installer may not work. There are two solutions. 1) Find a Windows XP machine it will work perfectly or 2) look for the post under my name dated March 11 on this thread. I don't know the post number since I just use the XDA app but you shouldn't have trouble locating it. This provides the work around needed to make it work with Windows 7. Good luck.

I'm sure that it depends on what version bootloader is currently installed, and what version your ROM of choice requires. The fact that their phone is now "Stock" doesn't tell you anything. I am running a nightly version (7/7/13) of Rootbox (Doesn't get any newer than that) on a one year old S3, and have never updated my "Stock" bootloader because it was not necessary for what I need - and there isn't one newer.
Every time you flash, you are taking the chance of something screwing up. The only thing worse than bricking your phone would be bricking someone else's. IMO, you need to do some more research to answer your own question. The devil is in the details.
Good Luck.

Hi everyone. I completely apologize for this question as I am absolutely new to Android and to unlocking a phone. I just bought a R800x Verizon Xperia Play for the sole purpose of being able to play emulators. I will not be activating it to use as a phone. I have read as much as I can and am still a little confused in regards to being able to unlock the bootloader and install roms.
If the bootloader message says No, am I not able to unlock it or install roms at all?
If it says yes, can I install any rom, or am I limited to what I saw as Cola and a few others?
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Anyone help me out. Or can I keep it locked but install cola?
You can.unlock the bootloader I have mine unlocked using sonys unlock method but.if you wish to.stay with a locked bootloader yoj can.install cola but you'll have to.root 2.3.3 install clock work mod.recovery I my.self.am.vefy glad I unlocked my.bootloadef and since yoj habe.no.intentions of using the phone side yoj could install numeruous amounts of gsm roms
