Hello everyone. I've been trying to root my LG G2 for about 6 hours now. I've followed numerous guides and watched tons of videos. I am now stuck on a black screen with yellow text asking me to "send the package you want to apply." I dont know if this is a driver issue (in which case I am unable to find or install my devices specific drivers,) or if I have already ruined my phone..... if someone could take a few minutes and skype me so that I will be able to better explain / take instructiuon I would be very appreciative. I'm new to this and have rooted and installed custom roms on 2 other phones that were a cake walk so I figured this one would be as well...... oh how wrong I was. Anyway thanks in advance and pm me for my skype info or try to type instructions. Just hope I can keep up and follow correctly. I'm unable to use it while this problem persist so i'm trying to get this figured out as soon as possible. Thanks again!
This is the forum for the G3.

Ok, I know people are going to say to search. I did for hours....
I used the utility at htc-unlockers to try and free up my radio for us sim card use.
Something went wrong and now I am stuck on the red green blue screen and it says serial at the bottom and usb if im connected to usb.
I saw some other threads mentioning this but I have no idea what to do.
Some of the terms didnt make sense to me.
Can someone please give me a step by step what to do?
ok so it looks like everyone is saying i need to 'flash' a 'rom'
how do i do that, and which rom would you advise for a us cellular touch pro 2 needing to work on att and t mobile.
links would be great
I tried each of these except the verizon
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=578659
and i got an error 290, couldnt be used on my device
Those are Radio ROMs. You need CDMA roms. Basically there are a couple steps you need to perform first.
I would suggest reading the following thread:
http://www.mobileunderground.info/showthread.php?t=3407&page=1
I did buy the thing from htc-unlock and i think I did it wrong because now I have that boot screen issue.
its a us cellular touch pro 2 win 6.5
can someone link me to the rom I need to get it back running?
ok i fixed it. i can post a walkthrough for idiots.
It would involve links to other sites, so i need an ok from a mod or whatever because i know how pissy these forums can be.
HTC Desire
bought 2 weeks ago from mobiles.co.uk on the Orange network (dolphin)
So, I've applied god knows how many updates, downgrades, "fixes", flashes and sdcard updates to try and get my phone screen back, to no avail.
I originally followed some guide on XD about installing custom Froyo ROM, Open Desire, and a few other bits to downgrade the ROM and root. Since then spent hours following all the various fixes on here, to no avail.
Need urgent support please to get my screen back.
No idea what is in the phone now so expert guidance welcome to debug my specific circumstances. Links to threads simply are not working for me. Need to start from the beginning and figure out what is in my phone in terms of S/W versions, and move forward.
RRUs: none of these work - all give "error 140 - bootloader version error":
RUU_Bravo_Froyo_HTC_WWE_2.09.405.8_Radio_32.43.00. 32U_5.09.00.20_release_140022_signed.exe

Can anyone help please.

tell us how!?
pls, maybe somebody need your experience
Fixed by searching these forums. It seems that I'm too much of a novice to warrant specific responses and support. I had to do much of the digging myself. Took ages and to be hones, I forgot what I did. There was quite a few steps to go through and seveal iterations. Its finally working now.
I know, I know, I know...
I am a member of a few different forums for other things and there is always a neb that comes on and asks a question that has been beat to death.
I have heard that God kills a kitten ever time someone post a thread before doing a search on what you are trying to get answered. So for my sake, God's sake and that poor kitten sake, I did read through a lot of post before I had the sack to post this question
I am posting this question because there seems to be a lot of different answers to a lot of different questions, so, I was hoping for very direct answers to these questions that I know have been asked plenty of times...
Here it goes...
I have purchased the HTE EVO w/ android 2.2 and I have had it for about 2 weeks.
I want to root my phone, which is my first ever smart phone.
This is what I would like to happen...
1) I want to be able to have the restore point so that I can flash my phone back to stock so that if something happens the warranty will still be good.
* Does this save on my home pc or sdcard? Or Both?
I have read that you need to download here not there(ruu...clockworks/rom manager)...no here not there...If you download anything but this you will not be able to get it back to the stock setting and Sprint will know you have rooted the phone...The whole thing started to get a little confusing.
I am a very simple person so I am hoping for a very simple answer, if there is one.
1) How do I root my HTC EVO that has the android 2.2?
2) How do I make sure that I can have a recovery point incase I mess it up (brick, etc...)
3) How do I make sure that I can flash my phone back to the original settings just incase I have to send it in to be fixed for some reason, which rom manager lets me do this?
4) Is it legal to do this?
5) What might be the biggest no-no to do before, during and after you root your phone?
Thank you in advance for taking the time to read this.
Visit the wiki, that should answer most of your answers.
1. Rooting voids warranty
2. Always perform a nand backup if you want to revert to your previous state.
Visit the wiki, the instructions are simple.
EDIT: Actually the wiki will answer all of your answers.

Sorry for the silly ? But what is the wiki?
It is a sticky in Android Development called Evo Wiki. You have to put effort in searching, I believe in you!

(think its operator era ME! not even unrevoked3 and that's suppose to be simple if you can help me root my phone i got some lunch money for you
thanks for any thing you can do!
Goddamit don't try to root new evos wih unrevoked or you could be bricked for eva!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! it could be impossible for you to root because you ran unrevoked, but might as well give it a try. Gtalk, email, and Im are all [email protected] and like I said earlier, rooting evos seems to be my job.
Ok...
I am a new b at this. How can I get my evo rooted?
I noticed not to use unrevoked, but that is the only thing out there when I do a search.
Can someone please point me to the right dirction. some idiot proof instructions, videos, etc...
Thank you in advance.

DO NOT RUN UNREVOKED OR YUO COULD PERMANENTLY CORRUPT YOUR PHONE!!!!! at the moment, there is no brainless way of doing it. you need to manually set up the adb and usb drivers, and then do some coding work, along with downloading like 1/3 gig of files.
Please Please someone help me! First off, i apologize if this is in the wrong forum but i figured it would be the best place to get help. I just got an EVO a couple of weeks ago (came from an iPhone 4). I understand that root is almost like jailbreaking. I'm trying to update my phone with a new rom but evidently it can't be done without being rooted. I've searched and searched to be able to find a way to root the new sprint update 3.70.651.1 but i just cant find it! can some one PLEASE HELP! I've tried unrevoked 3 but to no luck...

The best place to get help is in the correct forum. There are lots of grumpy people here who would take the time to bust on you for posting in the wrong section, tell you to use the search button or post a link to lmgtfy.com.
Fortunately I'm still noob enough not to do that. Take a look at http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=838448 and see if that helps you.
This one is also a good one to try:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=829045
You gots to know what you are doing. Read thoroughly!
i would for sure use the one suggested by atapia984. it is a little harder, but it is a lot less risky in the long run. also, rooting is not too much like jailbreaking, mostly because you can do everything you can with a jailbroken iphone on an evo without any hacking at all. rooting lets you actually replace the phone's system (and other partitions) with custom roms made by the talented devs here at the xda. you also have total control over hardware of the phone. if you are really stuck on the root tutorial, i might be able to help you out, or even give you a walkthrough if you are too afraid of nuking your precious evo.
Sorry for the inconvenience guys I usually can figure this stuff out myself but this time I am lost. A brand-new fresh out the box Moto G7 play. Attempted to put TWRP on it and all of a sudden my screen went black and it's hard bricked. I got a headache over this I've been trying to figure out how to get my computer to recognize the device but no go. Can somebody please help me teach me what I did wrong first of all and teach me how to do it the right way now. It would also be pretty cool if I could fix the one I broke even though I already bought another one. If you could please help me I promise that in the future if I can help you in any kind of way I will. My phone is Moto G7 play boost Mobile the model number is xt-1 952 - 4. And like I said it was literally brand new out the box I just had the bootloader unlocked and then I try to install TWRP and black screen. My email is [email protected] I'm not sure if you guys are willing to email me or if you want to reply to me on here either way you could help me that be awesome. Thank you for your time.

Did you installed the drivers for the device?
Try to reinstall your OS. Here the link to download the firmware: https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/1Szean3MNWxthZRBwovsg9gr-2WlxjxAf
Then you can use Magisk to root, since TWRP was not released for G7 Play yet.
https://forum.xda-developers.com/g7-play/how-to/magisk-g7-play-xt1952-4-installed-t3975477
PS: If your pc doesn't recognize your device, try using Lenovo Smart Moto Assistant with another g7 play (if you have another), in bootloader mode, just for recognize and start downloading the firmware, then you replace with your device and finish installation. Myself had this issue before XD
