Guide for Rooting LG Nitro HD P935/Telus? - LG Nitro HD

Any true root for our devices or any out that are 'proven' to work for ours and sorry if I have missed it, I know there are many or at least one that some have been helpful in pointing out as root guides but need some proof that the Canadian devices have root too please? I am on the latest 4.0.4 ICS and ready to perm-root/CWM or TWRP if thats what I use for recovery, please lead me/us in the right direction?:crying:
Thanks

I used the method listed in these forums for rooting for the bell p930. Worked fine. However you will not be able to install cwm unless you unbrick (back to gingerbread)

You can treat me like a newb in this matter cuz I am stock 4.0.4 ICS not rooted 'yet' so what do you mean about the 'unbrick' thing, is there a rooting method that will work that will give me CWM or TWRP recovery like I want to do everything all at once in like one day in possibly 1-2hrs? lol

If you are on stock ICS you have to go through the unbrick guide to be able to install CWM or TWRP. There are a couple here on the first page, they all essentially do the same thing with slightly different methods, and i would assume they take about a equal amount of time. Just make sure you download the required software and read through the instructions once at the very least before you attempt to begin the process.

a lot of XDA links are down so i suggest using the stuff on theunlockr.com it's pretty direct
dl kies or drivers (personally i just dl drivers)
run odin and flash CWM
you can then flash a rom to get root or flash superuser to get root.
I did the 'unlockr' method but it took me like 6 tries to get su installed through CWM.
Keep trying if it fails. It will eventually work.
It isn't too much different from the other methods floating around the forums. Links work which is always a plus as someone else has mentioned.

No it looks like he loaded an old sgs4g file on his microsd or something because he use to own one..
anyways.. it looks like your phone is just doing a bootloop. if you have a backup just nandroid restore.
Not sure what this sgs4g file is? is it a ROM/Kernel? or some backup data?
if you flashed a ROM/Kernel.. and you're only getting boot loops you're fking lucky. Flash a t989 ROM/kernel and it should fix it
if you just restored some data. just wipe your data and caches/dalvik cache

Easiest method, which I just used myself today, is the ZergRush Exploit.
You won't be able to install custom ROM's because this method does not install a new Kernel with Recovery. But it is the easiest method I have found and gives you ROOT if that is all you are looking for. It can be found through the stickies, but here is the link.

From 1st hand experience on a T-MO GS2 (and also what others have posted), the ZergRush has fewer successes on the T-Mo units. I tried ran it last night on a new phone and didn't do anything. I ended up using one of the other rooting methods. Not sure if it's hit or miss, or what the issue may be.

This method doesn't work for rooting the new 2.3.6 any more. Apparently they fixed the ZergRush exploit. I have the T989D Telus version of the phone. I believe it was running 2.3.5 and it work beautifully.

AT&T LG NITRO Still cannot root:(

So since I am new to this forum I assume this is where I am able to post since I cannot post in the dec sesction. I am trying to root my lg nitro which i just got form at&t july 2012. It has 2.3.5 android on it and I have rooted my other phones np but this one is annoying. Ive tried all versions of super one click and unlock and doomlord as well.
I assume my nitro just cant be rooted at the moment? ive made sure debuggin is checked and have tried them using card mounted and unmounted. have factory reset and tried fresh still a no go. I noticed in doomlord that i get chmod read only and cannot write superuser.apk reado only as if my phone chmod is set to read only.
Just asking here if anyone knows for sure if my version of nitro can be rooted so i am not banging my head against the wall....though at&t tech upper lvl told me other day lg nitro gets ics at end of july for sure but ya know how that goes.
Thanks in advance for any help.
Hi talrune,
Welcome to the community. Unfortunately, you are not the only one that has had problems rooting the 2.3.5 ROM. AT&T has done a good job at locking it down. Several people have just given up on it.
The best way to get root on your Nitro is to head over to the Development section and flash a pre-rooted ICS ROM. You might also try the method I have listed in my signature. I haven't tried it on 2.3.5 so I would be interested in knowing if it works with it or not.
root ur phone
Hi Guys,
I had the same issue.. tried several times.. with doomlords, tsparkys and superoneclick...
But after multiple retries. finally managed to root 2.3.5 using SuperOneCLick 2.3.2.. and it is fine now..
Never give up,, keep on trying.. ur phone rooting time wud be just round the corner.
Yes I did download honos which i assume it is the prerooted ics and i put it in root directory of my sd card but dont i need phone rooted to put a rom manager on there to then flash the prerooted ics rom?

You can follow the unbricking guide that will take you back to 2.3.4 which was extremely easy to root.

Yeah i would have used his but as i said I cannot get my phone to root with any of the methods listed even the ICS version I cant get it to root either. I guess ill have to find a stock 2.3.4 rom to flash to but i assumed ya would have to have root to downgrade to 2.3.4
End our misery
If you get it to work please let me know because im in the exact boat as you. Tried every method many times.
What would be nice to see is someone who has done it on the AT&T LG NITRO HD, upload a video or screenshot slide show of step by step install of ROM, since other instructions dont seem to work for everyone. If i get it to root il be sure to make a better step by step instruction video.

Locked Bootloader Situation in LG's ICS

As many have come to discover, with ICS, LG has gone over to the dark side and locked their bootloader.
So what does this mean for us P93X users? This means that if we upgrade to ICS via the official LG tool or by using an LG ICS .kdz, our bootloader is now locked. This has caused problems for newer users who have managed to gain root access, only to subsequently soft-brick their phone when they attempt to remove default apps or install CWM via Rom Manager.
So what's the good news? It is possible to downgrade to Gingerbread using the Unbricking Guide stickied in this forum. Once on Gingerbread, if a user so desires, our very own HO!NO! has created a CWM-flashable version of official AT&T ICS that will not overwrite the device with the locked ICS bootloader.
The purpose I would like this thread to serve is a place to discuss the nature of the bootloader on the P93X and to answer questions about how it works (in addition to the warning above that I hope new users see). Here are some questions I have:
Which partition is it on our device?
Is it possible to simply overwrite a phone on ICS with a Gingerbread firmware without having to unbrick?
Can we get a collection started of various bootloader images for all the devices (i.e. P930 AT&T/Bell, P935, P936, SU640)?
If my suspicion is correct, anybody who has gone through the Unbricking Guide is currently using the SU640 Gingerbread bootloader, including myself. It's possible there are no differences in the various devices' Gingerbread bootloaders, but from available evidence, I do not believe that is the case. We already know, for example, that anybody who has never unbricked their phone is not able to successfully flash and use the CWM-flashable ICS and ICS leak that HO!NO! has released.
Thoughts?
is there a plan to, or can the boot loader be overwritten in leaked ics?
I rooted my lg nitro and then bricked it within an hour. I flashed the leaked ics and rooted. Like we know cwm and cwm touch don't work with ics. I went back to ginger bread so I could backup my rom and flash custom rooms. I like this flexibility; however, I hate how fast my battery drains. I have tried all roms out here. All suck the juice within hours. ics leaked version With locked boot loader rooted lasts all day. Even listening to music with head phones.
Tried jellybam
Nitrogen with ho!no!
Hono
Cm10
Cm9
And quite a few others I can't remember right now.
Is there a way to get battery life like I get from leaked ics on any of these roms.?
Sent from log nitro rooted nitrogen with gapps
He he dont worry it is normal.....why?
Because its ICS!!!!
The spectrum users at androidforums figured out a way to replace the locked boot loader with the unlocked one. Nobody has done this for the nitro yet but I am sure it is possible. All we need is a dev to make it happen. Unfortunately I am not willing to install a locked boot loader on my phone so I cannot do it. Perhaps another dev can do this?
does spectrum share same partition layout as nitro hd?
I think the unlock process should be as easy as some dd script if we can locate the right partition(s).

It is not the same but very close.
It is a bit more complicated than a dd script, you also need a unlocked kernel (such as the cm9 kernel).
Contact Neph81 and death2all110 at AF, they are the devs who did this.
Ho!no! did it.

CWM touch works well with this release. The only thing I did not like about the leaked release was the locked boot loader.
NO MORE locked bootloader thanks to HO!NO!. There is also a V20 that was released. Have not tried that one.

I searched and found this thread
http://androidforums.com/spectrum-a...oot-cwm-lg-spectrum-4g-ics-linux-install.html
its rooting with qemu + dd some images. But I don't understand why need so many images(and the exact purpose for each of them).
and I don't get the "unlocked" kernel part since we can use stock kernel+GB bootloader on P930.
Anyway, its as easy as some dd script but it might be too risky to figure out the whole thing.
I don't understand why you would want to spend the time and effort on this project when the unbricking method in my signature allows you to restore the P930 gingerbread bootloader, which you can then install CWM on top of and flash your roms all you want.
Just curious, can someone outline why this would be worth the time investment?

sorry but its unrelated. cwm roms don't touch the bootloader part and to have cwm working, you need an unlocked bootloader to begin with.

Hello, I was just reading this post because of my Lg optimus G.
I know that they are two different devices but my question is about LG locking bootloader for our devices.
Does the bootloader relock it self if I flash stock KDZ file?
I was wondering how to get it back to stock so I can get the warranty support from LG.

Do you have to unbrick your phone in order for it to work? Like the other official ICS releases?
@RealyPssd,
If you have ever done the unbricking guide in the past, you're good to go, just flash via CWM.

I haven't ever unbricked before.
Then yes, you will likely end up with a non-booting phone (but a still working CWM) if you flash this rom. I'm currently trying to figure out which partition the bootloader is on the Nitro HD so that we might just be able to give users like yourself a bootloader that will allow you to boot these ICS roms with CWM. Right now it appears the SU640 Gingerbread bootloader, which is flashed when you do the unbricking guide, is the best bet for this. It'd be nice if we could also get one of you guys to donate your stock Bell/AT&T bootloaders once we figure out which partition it's on.

The only issue with this is I'm not sure if it's safe to overwrite the bootloader using a method other than LG's tools. Or even if the phone will let you overwrite it using any other method.
That's very true, it's somewhat risky.
Flashing this on my phone right now = after selecting reboot in CWM the LG logo pops up briefly then I'm brought back to CWM automatically.
So if i flash with the LG tool it'll work fine? I'll just have to unbrick if i want to switch ROMS?
And if i unbrick now, this should work fine with CWM staying installed?
Just follow the 40 steps of the unbrick guide and all should be fine?
Which guide should I use?

Follow Malnilion's advice, unbrick first. I was in the same situation (logo-CWM sequence) until I unbricked.
Both guides work fine, only problem I had was rooting using ROOT.bat. Didn't work and
I don't know why. So i rooted using SuperOneClick 2.3.2 from Machzalet's guide.
After unbrick no problem flashing this ROM in CWM, everything wen smootly

I'm visiting Israel for a month and neither stock nor CM9 nor CM9 Full Throttle work here. The Nitro's frequencies are exactly the same as my GS2, but the GS2 works perfectly. There are several carrier networks here, each using a slightly different combination of frequencies, but the GS2 works with all of them and the Nitro with none of them. It works perfectly on AT&T in the US. It is SIM unlocked, of course.
Is this likely a problem with the modem? Will the ROM in this thread likely fix my issue because it's meant for Bell (presumably a non-American carrier)? Any other suggestions of what I can do to get the phone to work on a foreign (but frequency-compatible) carrier?
good job!!

I'm sorry bro just call me stupid but it's ok to treat me as a newb cuz I am too this device but what part of that link involves me and rooting, like which parts should I follow to get me rooted plus installing CWM or some type of recovery and I did install ROM Manager already just want to know where to go to make it easy to do step by step?
Take this guide one step at a time. Read through it a few times, slowly, if need be. It's not a difficult one; just may look intimidating to some. A new guide came up, which u know about, that does the same thing but keeps the original build id. If u ask me, pick one and go. Don't over think it.

Installing ROM manager on stock ICS does nothing more than, well, installing ROM manager on stock ICS. You must have rooted Gingerbread to be able to flash a custom recovery such as CWM or TWRP; which is required to enjoy any of the ROMs in the developer section here. And to downgrade stock ICS to Gingerbread, you must follow one of the unbrick guides. What particular section should you follow to get root + CWM? From the 1st word in the OP to the last period.
Like X0dus said, read through whichever guide you choose to use before you do anything; get familiar with the process and what you're going to be doing. Obviously, keep the directions open while performing the process, and don't skip around. Each step is essential and must be followed in order.
Working Root
I tried Bin4ry root method and it worked on 1st attempt on my P930 with leaked ICS V18f... Give it a try..:good:

If all that is needed is root privileges then this may work; but if a custom recovery is the objective this will not work. And when it's all said and done, why not go ahead and do the unbrick process and install HO!NO!'s rooted CWM flashable ICS or Liquid Nitro if you want all or mostly stock... get rooted stock ICS and also the ability to try out all the other options available?
