hi guys!
I'm completely new to the forum but I didn't find the introduction section like in other forums, so sorry if I first didn't present myself there!
I just got a galaxy nexus and I'm using a mac.
I was able to unlock it and now I would like to root it in order to install the Android Revolution HD ROM and all over the web the developer team says to root the phone using fastboot. The problem is that all the links redirect to the modaco page with the first actual link and this takes you to a filesonic page which is down for the moment...
I guess this is caused by the recent sopa and pipa...
What am I supposed to do? is there any other way to download it?
every rooting guide I found talks of using fastboot...
thanks!
Do you have the android sdk installed?

Pretty sure those links have been down for a while.. check the dev section for other ways to root.

But since the developers say that you ned a gnex rooted with fast boot I thought I had to use that method in order to use their rom. So I can use any Method I want to root it?
If you've unlocked the bootloader then you have already used fastboot so just use the fastboot commands to flash CWM and then use that to flash the root package. Get the latest Superuser package from here:

Fastboot is not a program you should download. It is the menu that appears wat your GN when you start up your phone with Volume up + Volume Down + Power button. You should however download the appropriate files for unlocking and rooting etc. See other threads on what those files are...
If you installed the android sdk then it should be in the platform tools folder.

Ok thanks guys I'll give it a try when I get home!
Hi all,
I've uploaded this root method because it is the only way I have been able to get root on the first try every time.
Your results may vary. If you don't get it first try, just try again.
Here are the methods I have tried and had fail:
UnlockRoot
Doomlord v1
Doomlord v4
TPSparky
SuperOneClick (Any Version)
So here you go! Here is a method that I have had 100% success with. I will be editing the script to try and make it more clean and less work on your part in the future. I will post new versions on this thread when I get them done.
Required Downloads
LG Nitro HD Root.zip
Enabling Root Rights
Enable USB Debugging and Unknown Sources.
Unzip the zip file to the location of your choice.
Run the file named “Root.bat”.
Follow the instructions on in the CMD window.
Notes
Here is a list of the apps that I have found will brick your Nitro if removed:
AT&T Address Book
AT&T Navigator
Google Play Books*
Google Play Movies*
Google Play Music
Google Play Store/Market
removal of at&t addressbook and navigator doesn't brick your device !
i confirm this !

Thank you for your input. But, I have removed both of them individually and bricked it. Also, several others have reported in other threads that it has. I believe it just depends on how much luck you have.
Just tried... no worky.
Again, I am trying to root on 2.3.5. Zerg fails, SOC wont make it past rebooting adb...

Matt your instructions for root say to extract from zip, root.bat. But your link takes me to a apk root file not a zip file...
can you be more specific or maybe the link is misdirected?
are you saying this is a root method via apk from phone?
IM starting to remember why I sold my g2x....nothing changes eh LG??

But as to what? Run the apk on your pc o_0
His directions say dl zip, yet there is no zip it directs you to a page that looks like what may have been in the zip? Still not clear
The apk root ...it shows up on the phone but still unclear.
Need the link fixed or to be clarified please Mattman when you get a chance thank you.
Edit: is the zip you were refering to the lg tool that reverts you to v18f ?
If so will this work on official ics release via lg tool.
Thanks again in advance
Sent from my LG-P930 using Tapatalk 2
Terribly sorry... The privacy settings on my Google Drive must have been reset somehow.
I've fixed it so that the zip should show now.
But it now says that you have binned the file. It works right, doesn't it?
Mattman your script isnt working.
When I hit "any key to continue" it flashes..but its not flashing anything.
Cmd window turns off (checked process not running at all)
nothing happens.
No instructions , nothing. cmd. window just exits.
so guesse thats another brick wall for root on lg updated firmware to ics.
Mattman sorry but this method does not work.
Or I should say it did not work for me.
I even put togewther my own rendition of your files that you compiled still would not work.
In fact I am now convinced the ONLy root method for the nitro running it the one here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=30209937#post30209937
Im not saying anything against your method, it looks solid, but it would not work.
I tried it on v20c and v18f.
I now have root but want to say your efforts and work are appreciated.
I hope this is not considering hijacking the thread I wanted to post this for others with the same issues.
EDIT: Mattman I been searching through the threads and seen that you initialy used this method off of 2.3.6? Meaning you rooted from 2.3.6? ( from the cwm thread you came up with a way via script to run cwm) I am wondering maybe your method only works from 2.3.6? what firmware did you originally root from?
i tried this method on my v20c and my wife is not working.. and never get root??
please help me

This toolkit roots the lg p350 phone, then applies a recovery of your choice supplied with the software
It roots quickly and safely
it flashes the recovery quickly and safely, whether starting anew, or just fancy a change
Disclaimer
I am NOT responsible for any bricked devices, dead SD-cards, or any misfortunes that happen to you
This tool is fool proof, and if doesn't work, then YOU have broken it, YOUR phone was already bricked, or YOU Haven't followed the instructions properly
Do not Blame any developer for any problems. If it bricks devices, then it won't be published
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
You do not need to boot into fastboot. All instructions are given to you as you work
Your phone must be an LG-P350 (also called optimus me, pecan, or optimus life)
To flash recovery, it must be rooted already
Your phone does not need a recovery installed already
This includes all the different recoveries for our phone, So you don't have to go searching for them or asking anyone how to flash recovery
If your device can't be detected then it will go through checks, such as seeing if pc can see the device (windows 7 only)
It will also download and install the drivers for you silently if your computer doesn't have them, or if they are not working correctly
The root function can be used to replace using Superoneclick
This is only for Windows!
You do not need any extra software installed
To use
download the zip here
extract to where ever you want
enable usb debugging on your device (go to setting->Applications->Development)
run "antdking's p350 toolkit.bat" (could be called "antdking's p350 toolkit" depending on your system)
follow the steps
included recoveries
RZ recovery by Keyur
ClockworkMod 5.0.2.8 by Keyur
ClockworkMod 6.0.1.0 by Ron
ClockworkMod touch by Vivek
AmonRA 2.2.1 by Drapalyuk
Stock Recovery by LG
Everything is tried and tested on my phone and computer. Phone using my Bluedroid v3, computer running Windows 7 64bit
If anyone wants to suggest features, post on here
If anyone wants to alter code, or add code (only if you know what you are doing), then send the suggestions to me, I will check them and add them
Now running on Ubuntu
I need someone to port to Mac please?
Enjoy

p350 toolkit? I'm planning on expanding it and I don't want to end up repeating ideas..
Don't worry if you wanna sum everything up in one whole, I have all the tools spread around (Drivers (Device and Modem, updated), Rooting (Gingerbreak APK and SuperOneClick), Recoveries (Amon-RA, Touch CWM), KDZs (Entel V10A, Unbranded V10G, and V10I (not tested)), V10A and V10I Source Code), and other various tools... If you need any help or any tool I'll gladly help you out... You doing this CLI-type, right? I could help you out porting it to VB.NET (and by extension to Linux using mono) for some UI...

The only thing that I need to do now is do root the phone and apply kdz through CLI. the kdz I think I know how to do it using fastboot. rooting the phone I don't know where to start. I'd need to find out how superoneclick works, as that's the only thing that can root the later versions of the original stock rom.
a user interface would be great. And I have to learn VB.NET for school as well.
Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks for your hard work, looks great..

For root, SuperOneClick uses psneuter, learn how it works and probably you'll get a better idea how to do it... Check AndroidLib.dll for VB.Net and Android communication... For flashing KDZ through fastboot, good luck on that one, for some partitions come "disassembled" and KDZ Updater I believe joins those parts... You can get a better idea of what I'm talking about using LGExtract and DZExtract, I used those tools to decompile to bits and pieces the stock ROM files... Good luck and I'll be glad to help in any way...

I used gingerbreak with my superoneclick..
I have the kdz extracted already. You can push the mbn's to the phone with fastboot, but I need to research a bit more to check it

The other day I was reading at the batch code, actually it's not that different as you use wget to download what is needed which in Linux is already embedded into the system. All you need to add into the folder structure of yours is the adb binary for Linux.

It uses 7-zip as well, which I'm going to use more of later. I also need to know what each of the commands in my script is in ubuntu commands, because there are differences.
I need something that will work anywhere (like adb) that will handle zip files. I don't think you can get 7-zip like that for ubuntu. If I'm wrong can someone post it? I've had no luck, and I don't want to ask people to start installing things

ok, enjoy the day... I'll go back to work (OT: yeah, I work weekends too)...
So, I have tried time and time again, and am still no closer to getting my phone rooted. I have spent hours reading all over these forums, and Google in general, and have yet to get a straight answer to my question as to why my phone refuses to root.
I am thankful for the advice offered, such as trying SuperOneClick that does... well, nothing. [Says my device has no drivers, yet,. Windows sees my phone as an Android device, and the program generally locks up after]. Was told that my image is faulty, and yet, somehow it's still installed on the device/working fine. [Was suggested to re-download the CW MOD image, and re-install] And it just goes on and on... then silence from the community.
So, to boil it down to the nitty-gritty, the only thing I am getting is, while I -attempt- to install SuperUser via CW, I get this:
E:failed to verify whole-file signature
E:signature verification failed!
So, please, someone, assist me in getting my phone rooted!

try installing superSU...
Now, super one click ... don't use it, it isn't for our roms.
you should be using Odin to flash CW, and then downloading roms and flashing with CW
If you want support from the community, why not offer more information...
What are you running now ? UCLH ? UCLJ ? Jellybean, Gingerbread, ICS ? How did you obtain the version that is running on your phone now ?
i've discovered the only way to root Gingerbread is to download a pre-rooted rom.
ICS, install CW w/ Odin and then flash supersu or superuser .... There was, at a time, I couldn't get ICS to root and had to download a specific SU or SuperSU not on google store that I found by searching the forums ....
Give us more info, as much and as detailed as possible and we can help you further.

I used the official update from Samsung when it was fully released... finally. So, running 4.0.4.
What's SuperSU? Is that different?
For more details, I posted already to the fourms here before they went silent:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=35750419 and http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=35811065
As you can see, I tried everything, it's like my phone's being annoying... is it do-able to just re-set the phone to stock Gingerbread, and then just update using another ROM? And, if so, what one do I use? I just want a stable experience. Like, with the leak that came out not too long before the official, there was the keyboard error, and I even had issues with placing and receiving calls...
At this point, it's getting to the point where I am willing to basicly go back to out-of-the-box, then root the sucker, if I can do that. Seems perhaps a clean slate is in order, anywho.
Thanks for the quick reply, though.

It has been some time since I have used ICS. I had completed the stock download from samfirmware.com, installed CWM 6 with Odin 1.85 and (taadaa) attached to this thread the same version of Superuser I used to install via CWM.

From my computer, via USB, and not likely at all. Every component is new, and to make it more amusing, I did all this in the past with the leaked ROM before I got this new system on my last compy, so, yeah... if -both- computers does the -exact- same thing... prolly time to format the phone, and try again, somehow?

..okes.. I feel like somewhat of an idiot. I decided to just try one last time to get the recovery mod in there again, and, for whatever stupid reason, instead of seeing a blank background with the Android, I saw the CW icon, and a silver icon... I told it to apply SuperUser as I have tried so many other times, and it just... worked.
The closest thing I can figure is that my browser, and my eyes told me that I had multiple copies of the current CW Mod, but, in my working directory, I unzipped the -old- version.
To make it simple; I -now- have root on my Glide, woot!

So, having read the guide thoroughly, if already on the JB bootloader (10.4.20.0), is it necessary to update to the latest firmwares before running this or can I do it on 10.4.20.0? I note that the guide references bootloader 10.6.1.15.3. Also, anyone know whether doing the NVFlash thing wipes the user data?
Thanks in advance. Looking forward to running this on my TF300T once I get my ducks in line.
Wow! Good news .
Is it working with 10.6.27.1 bootloader, or will it work?
Thanks rayman, XpLoDWilD & Androidrootz team!

@rayman Is it working with the bootloader for the latest update (10.6.1.27.5 )? Or should we downgrade to 10.6.1.15.3 to be safe?

It is working in 10.6.1.27.5 bl....im on c rom
i have a question....what files should i save?
the files that was generated only have 11mb...normal?
once i get the files can a reflash the twrp recovery?
if i brick my tablet what should i do with this files?
tks in advance
This is really exciting! Thanks devs!
Just to confirm and clarify (for noobs not unlike myself), this does work with the 4.2 BL (Rom example being CM 4.3 nightlies).
So I'm a bit confused. This process involved installing a new recovery image. If my device already has TWRP custom recovery and CM10.1 nightly, would I just follow all the steps listed and then reinstall TWRP as a final step? I was concerned with the steps that involved rebooting the device and wasn't sure how that recovery image would handle CM10.1
OK I just did it and I got a 1.6 MB blob file...I did the wheelie and it worked but where were the files: Unlocked token, factory config, and bricksafe img files received too? They were not in the nvflash directory nor on the device, but it said all three of them had been received succesfully.
Edit:
Found them. Located at: User\AppData\Local\VirtualStore
All three were there

I'd like to know this too. I think we can reinstall TWRP -42 at the end, but I'd like some confirmation by someone more knowledgeable than myself.

OS X is not currently supported. We do actually have a wheelie port for OS X, but we haven't been able to find a sufficiently new nvflash binary for OS X, so there's little point in releasing it. You must use windows or linux.

Yes, you can install whatever recovery you want after getting your blobs.
You are also free to install whatever bootloader you want afterwards.
The recovery is essentially CWM with some extras, so it should flash any CWM flashable rom without issue.

It works on all currently released bootloaders. If we hear of asus fixing it in a new bootloader, we will put a latest bootloader supported notice on the guide on the website.
Only unlocking the device wipes the user data. Doing the NVFlash thing doesn't wipe anything.
i am stuck at: Step 2: Generate wheelie blobs
its say that it genrateted the files and uploaded them but when i try the adb pull it cannot find the files. I tried both commands the /date one and the /tmp one. Also when i look a root browser app i cannot find the map.
Help pls :S
You can revert to 4.0 firmware via nvflash?
