I can't find a tutorial with clear steps to root the device, I haven't rooted a smartphone for a long time and I'm always afraid of damaging it.
I think I have the necessary files, but I have many doubts about the procedure.
If anyone can help me I would appreciate it.
Thank you
You can use the software called XiaoMi Tool V2, everything is automatic with it, from unlocking the bootloader to rooting the phone

Ok so I'm completely new to android and I'm thinking about rooting my Nitro. But I do have a few questions:
-What is the possibility of bricking my phone? (only rooting, no flashing roms etc...)
-How do I back-up my phone? (If I'm fine with factory reset, is it still recommended?)
-Do I void my warranty by doing this? (Could I "un-root" if I have problems and make a claim on my warranty (warranty is generic LG one that comes with phone)
-What advantages to I gain by rooting? (I know root access, but I mean like real world application)
*Thank you to anyone who helps me out!
I'm new to Android as well and was able to flash my Nitro fairly easily. I downloaded SuperOneClick and the LG drivers and that was about it. I wish I could link you to everything, but with a bit of reading here in the Nitro forum you should figure it out.
I've found that all the guys here are very helpful, so after searching and reading just ask what you need to and you'll get your answers.
As for benefits of rooting... I think the biggest benefit is a custom ROM. I haven't done that yet cause I haven't done enough reading on it. I do, however, thoroughly enjoy being able to move files around on my phone as opposed to my iphone limiting my every move.
SuperOneClick and the LG drivers worked for me...
You can root and unroot with SuperOneClick.
As long as you follow directions you should not be able to brick the thing during the rooting process.
After rooting you have to know what you are doing modifications so read up...
Hi,
I am new to android and just received a hand me down phone from my brother.
There are problems when I am filling a text field therefore I cannot log in to any apps. Is there a solution for this or do I really need to root this phone?
If I have to root this, can someone help me? The easiest way possible?
I am not sure how to do this since most of the instructions are foreign to me and cannot understand a thing.
I would really appreciate your help.
Thank you and have a nice day ahead

I need to carrier unlock my OGP. I have a factory code from ATT. My phone is rooted and running Cyanogenmod 11, which is how I bought it. Now, for the life of me I don't know why anyone would root and flash a rom to a phone prior to unlocking it (for the buck or so that it costs), but thats another story. Anyway, I cannot for the life of me figure out how to take this phone back to stock in order to unlock it ( it will not unlock with the cyanogenmod on it). I've read the guides, etc, but nothing works. The phone absolutely will not connect tosh LG Support tool. Im running windows 8, the drivers are installed, the computer recognizes the phone, but the tool does not. None of the guides say if this method (LGST using options/ recovery requires the phone to be in download mode--in fact, nothing is mentioned about that).
I am completely stumped and would sooo appreciate some help. All I want to do is take it back to stock, then unlock it. I will then worry about rooting it and flashing roms again.
Thanks in advance for anyone who is willing to help a complete noob. That said, I have read the guides, tried the methods (although I think I may have an outdated link or tool or something) so anyone willing to help, please just don't point me to a link on this forum. I've been there, tried that, etc.

I'm hoping there's someone out there who can guide me step-by-step through the rooting process, because something that should be pretty straightforward is turning out to be an absolute nightmare for me.
I've tried two different methods to root my phone, and I keep hitting roadblocks either way. I can't even unlock my bootloader! That's one of the first steps to rooting my phone, and I can't even get past that. In another method, one of the first steps is to boot into CWM and I can't even boot into that.
So, if anyone out there is willing to personally help me via PM or anything else, I'd greatly appreciate it.

Hi All.
Was searching everywhere last week and can not find the definite answer. I was thinking to buy the Nokia 8.1 TA-1119 model. However I am a developer and need root, so was trying to figure out if root procedure already exists for this phone.
There are some pages which give some root instructions, however they talk about installing the TWRP and as I checked, there is no TWRP for Nokia 8.1
So, would so much appreciate, if someone would give me some info, if root can be achieved on this phone?
While something is definitely possible and I have a rooted Nokia 8.1. But for your root requirements, I'd recommend that you consider some other phone which is more development-friendly.
First of all, it is super hard (playing with IMEI numbers and will have to pay), then the unlocked bootloader still doesn't allow booting or flashing any partitions via fastboot. So, pretty boring and it is equally hard to fix a bricked phone. Avoid if the sole purpose is an unlocked bootloader and regular rooting/flashing.

Yes you are right. but some one should start on this. I am looking forward to learn and build ROM for this awesome phone. as android app developer, I think I will not take much time, but looking for some source to get undetstanding how things works.
but first of all root is must.
