[GUIDE] Method for Rooting Nitro HD P930 AT&T V20c

IMPORTANT NOTE: There is a much easier way to root this ROM.
Skip this guide and use this method instead: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1886460
I'm making this thread to explain the method for obtaining root privileges on the AT&T V20c ROM on the Nitro HD (P930). This really is the easiest way that is currently known, so please don't ask me if there is a simpler method.
This method will NOT allow you to install a custom recovery on your phone. If you want to install custom ROMs, you should follow the unbricking guide instead.
I should also make it clear that if you do follow the unbricking guide, you can install custom recovery and install HO!NO!'s flashable V20c ROM, which is already rooted. If you prefer this route, can you find more information about it here and here. The below process is only if you want to keep your phone as stock as possible with the only difference being that you will have root access.
Note that you will lose all your settings during this process!
1) Make sure you have the LG drivers installed. If you don't, install the drivers from this page: http://www.lg.com/us/mobile-phones/ATT_Update/index.jsp
2) Install the AT&T ICS leak ROM (v18f) here: http://rootzwiki.com/topic/26138-firmware-p930-udt-v18f-04112012-nitro-hd-ics-leak/ . Connect your phone to your computer, run P930_UDT_v18f_04112012.exe, and it will install the V18f ROM for you. If you can't get it to recognize your phone, then put your phone in download mode and try again. To access download mode, disconnect the USB cable from the phone, and make sure the phone is completely off. Then hold down the volume up button while inserting the USB cable. The phone will turn itself on (don't press the power button) and should say "download mode" on the screen. Then let go of the volume up button.
If you get an error when trying to run the v18f installer, right-click on the installer and select "Run as administrator". I'm not sure why sometimes this is necessary but other times it's not.
3) Once the V18f ROM has been flashed successfully, skip through the initial setup screens until you get to the home screen. Then go to Settings > Developer options and enable "USB debugging". Important: You must disconnect the USB cable before the option can be enabled! Then return to the home screen.
4) Reconnect the USB cable. Select "PC software" mode if it asks. Then download v20c_root.rar at the bottom of this post. Extract it wherever you want, then run TPSparkyRoot.bat. Your phone will automatically reboot multiple times during this process. After each reboot, wait until the phone is fully booted, then press a button to continue the program.
5) After TPSparkyRoot is finished, go to the KeepRoot folder and run Before.bat. After a few seconds, press enter in the command prompt window to close the window.
6) Next, go to http://www.lg.com/us/mobile-phones/ATT_Update/index.jsp and download and run the "LG Mobile Support Tool". If you already have it installed, you can simply run it. Follow along with the instructions to let it update your phone back to V20c. If you can't get it to recognize your phone, then put your phone in download mode and try again. (See step 2 above for instructions on how to access download mode.) Special note: If you have previously added the line 127.0.0.1 csmg.lgmobile.com to your hosts file as instructed by the unbricking guide, you must REMOVE the line before this step will work!
Important: After the phone finishes flashing, your phone will be stuck on the boot screen and will never finish booting. This is supposed to happen! Continue to the next step. If your phone boots up completely, something went wrong -- start from the beginning and make sure you didn't skip a step!
7) Once your phone is stuck on the boot screen, run the AfterROOT.bat from the KeepRoot folder.
8) Your phone will still be stuck on the boot screen. At this point, you should disconnect your USB cable, then pull the battery from your phone to force it to turn off. Reinsert the battery, then press and hold both the "volume down" and "power" buttons at the same time for about 10 seconds. You should eventually see a screen asking you if you want to perform a hard factory reset. Let go of the buttons when that appears, then press the power button twice to confirm.
9) If everything went correctly, your phone will now boot up normally with V20c installed and rooted! Check your apps to see if the "Superuser" app is there -- if so, you're rooted! Congratulations!
Please let me know if you have any issues or if you find anything is inaccurate in this guide. Thanks.

For anyone wondering, a similar method can be used for unbricking as well. I may get around to making a guide for that, but since there's already a working method it's not that critical.

Thanks, u explain steps clearly, I will try it on my nitro

That's normal. You have to follow the instructions. Press a button in that window after the phone reboots itself. You have to reboot I think 3 times for that part.

i successfully installed v18f, but when i try installing CWM by Rommanager, it shows "boot certificate error" in recovery mode ???

Again, this has been stated multiple times, but if you missed it, you can go through the unbricking guide (It's really NOT that hard) and then flash HO!NO!'s CWM-Flashable ICS ROM, which will allow you to retain CWM and have root. Just my 2 cents. Kudos to you though drumist, brianlili's rooting guide died a while ago, and this one is simpler to understand. It should be stickied.

This guide is specifically for the AT&T Nitro HD. Do you have a P936?
If you don't have the AT&T version of the phone, I'd suggest going with the unbricking guide and flashing HO!NO!'s flashable version of V20c, if you want that ROM.

OK, then it should work. If you have a modified hosts file (because of running the unbricking guide in the past), you need to remove the line you added before you can continue this guide. I'll add a note about that to the guide.

Finally, i completed restore my nitro to v20c stock, thanks u . Btw, with the unbricking guide, my KDZ FW UPD shows "Normal web upgrade test" not the "CSE web upgrade test" and i see many people have this problems though the flashing progress completed. Do you have exp to fix it ? I'm running win 8 pro 64bit

[Q] fastboot LT26i

Hi, I am here in flashing phones newbie, so sorry in advance. I have LT26i original stock firmware. And I would like to use android 4.2.2 (because waiting for official firmware is unbelivieble). So I found some instructions how can I do it.
first root,then unlock bootloader,then install CWM and then install firmware
Root is done, I think that my unlock is already done too , but without my working on it. Because if I press *#*#7378423#*#* and then Service info--->Configuration I see this: Bootloader unlocked yes.
Next if I want to install cwm I do not know how, beacuase I cant go into fastboot. If I use combination switch on+volume up in same time as I plug USB cabel in device manager appear nothing new. (I am using win8 and UsB debuging is enabled). And a situation is if i press all , is short one vibration then 3 short vibration, logo Sony and it is repeating if I hold all,
what is a issue?
thank you very much

Hello madacek,
I wish I could help you out with all the questions,
But just explaning them will not be sufficient.
This requires lot of reading the forum and learn the basics of flashing in installing roms.
But I'd try to explain you the best as possible.
1. Is Your Phone Bootloader Unlocked?
Dial *#*#7378423#*#* . Then go to -> "Service Info" -> "Configuration". If there is:
Bootloader unlock allowed - Yes << this means that your Bootloader is Locked
Bootloader Unlocked - Yes << this means that your bootloader is unlocked
2. Which Firmware?
Well Actually Every Firmware from Are Very Amazing Developers are Great To Use.
What matters is, Is the firmware stable or not?
Developers Publish 3 Types of Firmwares.
- Nightly Builds : Generally published every week or so for developing perpose
- Monthly Builds : Much Stable Then Nightly.
- Beta Versions : Most Stable.
These may vary depending on developers,
There are a lot of Custom Roms for Xperia. And every one of them is Unique And Great.
List of ROMS for Xperia S is Given Here.. ---> http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1950706
3 How To Instal Firmware.
First of All.
You need to know What problems You can have if You are not flashing Step by Step.
Soft Brick -- Flashing was Not Proper
Hard Brick -- If an any case your phone shuts down during flash.
Bootloops -- This is when your phone goes on doing a same repetitive boot again and again. (Possible Fix - FLash boot.img in downloaded rom zip via FLashtool)
Now Step by Step Process. :
1.Device Unlocking
All info regarding unlocking procedure is on SONY website
http://unlockbootloader.sonymobile.com/
2.Copy update on phone
a.copy update
copy update-xxx-xxx-xxx.zip coresponding to your device to sdcard
b.copy GAPPS
due to legal rules gapps are not provided into main rom
google for gapps package and copy on sdcard
3.Flash CM kernel
a. extract boot.img from zip file
Plugin The Device To FLASHTOOLS on PC
And Follow These Instructions ---> http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1963961
4.Boot into recovery
While FXP logo is displayed (and lights are lit) press several times volume up to enter CWM (recovery)
5.Flash ROM
To update main rom select
a.Install zip from sdcard
b.choose zip from sdcard
c.select your update (copied at step 2)
To flash gapps redo steps a-c and select gapps package
!!! use gapps version designed for your android version !!!
6.Wipe device
!!! if after boot you experience ForceClose then is recommend to reboot to recovery and wipe device
7.Partition format
Is not recommended to format your partitions unless you are advised to do otherwise
8.Reboot and Enjoy
4 Something Important You Need To Know
Do Not Panic. Your phone will not Brick Until You do Something Crazy Like Throwing The phone on wall while Flashing or Plug out the USB when everything is Flashing fine. This requires patience and time. Dont freak out or do something crazy.
5.What is Fastboot?
There are two types of Boot,
Flashmode Boot.
And
Fastboot.
Flashmode is generally used for official stock firmware flashing.
Fastboot is used by developers to flash custom ROMS.
You can go into
Flashmode by Pressing Volume Up Button While Connecting Usb into PC before Starting A Flash
Fastboot by Pressing Volume Down Button While Connecting Usb into PC before Starting A Flash
Slim ROM Its really nice ROM actually And I Have Used The Slim Bean Build 5 Nozomi for a long time now. But currently on CM10 Team FXP. TeamFreeXperia are very professional and release stable builds, So i'd advice you to try one of CM10.

A Word of little advice.
SOFT RESET = 1 vibration then let go of buttons (hold about 3 seconds); Like hitting REBOOT.
HARD RESET = 3 vibrations then let go (about 10 seconds); Like taking out the battery.*
*USE HARD RESET ONLY IF ALL OTHER TRICKS HAVE FAILED. RECOVERY FROM THIS DEEP LEVEL OF SOFT-BRICK WILL TAKE A LONG TIME
Hard Reset Not Advisable @ First Attepmt

answer
Thank you very much, everything was working great. But now I would like to solve other flashing in other thread. My question is how can i close this thread as solved?

[Q] Can't boot into recovery

Firstly I did look for similar threads but I couldn't find my problem with entering recovery mode.
So I get to the bootloader and I hit "recovery" to go into recovery mode to back up before I start flashing roms. All that happens for me is it loads into a black screen with a phone in the middle and a green arrow pointing down into the phone with two green arrows circling the downard arrow, then it flashes black, then comes up with the same screen except it's now a red triangle over the phone with an exclamation mark in the middle. I'm assuming this is to represent an error occuring.
The phone won't do anything after this and I have to restart the phone by holding the power button for long enough (7 seconds?). This brings me back into my phone as if I hadn't done anything. I don't want to start flashing things if I can't backup my phone, I don't know how to get around this. Oh and I have installed ROM Toolbox and the same thing occurs when trying to enter recovery mode through this app. Any help will be amazing!
P.S: My phone is rooted, and I left the bootloader unlocked, would not locking it after rooting be a problem? I'm new to all of this :/

did you flashed the correct recovery?

I tried flashing CWR v 5.8.4.5 but that wouldn't install through ROM Toolbox so I tried TWRP v 2.5.0.0 (and the previous versions), none of them brought me any further than the red triangle :/
So I decided to try ROM Manager, I then flashed CWR 5.8.4.5 (successfully) and rebooted into recovery, it brought me to the circling arrows with a loading bar that got not even 1/4 through then it changed to a question mark over the phone and restarted itself within 5 seconds. This is the most progress I've made. Any ideas on what to try next?

download it from here http://projectsmyrna.com/PRIMOU/RECOVERY/cwmrecovery6.0.3.3touch.img
try from beginning, take a cwm recovery into fast boot folder
place it there, restart your htc one v and goto bootloader then fastboot option
open command prompt there in the folder by holding shift key and type "fastboot flash recovery cwmrecovery6.0.3.3touch.img"

So I decided to try ROM Manager, I then flashed CWR 5.8.4.5 (successfully) and rebooted into recovery, it brought me to the circling arrows with a loading bar that got not even 1/4 through then it changed to a question mark over the phone and restarted itself within 5 seconds. This is the most progress I've made. Any ideas on what to try next?

i dont know what the rom toolbox or rom manager does because i dont use much of these apps and rom manager had a great reputation on xda forums that it bricks the device....
try the manual way..
download revovery (appropriate) [would recommend cwm but twrp is also good]
boot into bootloader mode (I'm sure you know this)
connect device to the computer via usb cable
then paste the recovery image in th fastboot folder located on your computer (if u have a rooted device I'm sure u must know what a fastboot folder is..)
then rename recovery to recovery.img
then open command prompt
type cd C:\fastboot (C:\fastboot is the location of your fastboot folder on your pc.. it can be any other location also)
then type--- "fastboot flash recovery recovery.img" (but without the quotes)
your recovery wil be flashed..
there are other recovery flashing guides also u can refer to them in case u understand/are not familiar with all these things...
hope it helps..
good luck..:good:

Thanks Heaps! I did hear about how Rom Manager is infamous for bricking phones so I thought it would be safe enough to flash a recovery (it's not phone bricking stuff is it?) But Rom Toolbox is kind of a lot of different apps in one that seems pretty legit. To be honest I was just trying to be lazy and not bother learning all of this the manual way but it sounds like I might have to just do it the manual way haha, manual is often the best way with a lot of things anyway.
Thanks also for the little tutorial, you're quite right, even though I'm new I'm a fast learner and I've had plenty to do with computers so I know what all of the commands are doing and the terminology but thanks for covering the bases It's nice to see a noob friendly community around, not too common these days.
So yeah, flashed CWR touch, and got into it with no problem, created my nandroid with no problem. Now I'll set to flashing roms (the manual way) Thanks to everyone here for helping me you're all great

Flash, Recover and Restore Dead OPPO N1

Yesterday I tried to flash Color OS 2 Beta posted here. although the rom is not for the Oppo N1 W the XDA member cleonardo insure that it works very well. Then I flashed it in my OPPO N1, everything is ok during flashing, but then the phone freeze and the screen became black, I tried to go to recovery but nothing happened, I also connected the phone with my pc, flashed recovery, nothing happened and I thought my phone is dead. I could not find any solution for that, no one experienced the same situation. I post my problem in the same thread and he replayed (Dont worry , when you complete flash , at screen appear text chinese black colour , you wait some minutes), but i wait alot of time, restart my phone, i even put it for one hour to start and nothing happened. During my search, I came to this link: http://www.shuame.com/faq/restore-tutorial/547-oppo-n1-oppo-n1t.html in Chinese, using google translate I figured I can use their software to restore my recovery through RootGenius software, and then I can flash the stock or CM 10 or even CM 11 M8 again. After many hours, finally, I recover my phone again, flash the stock recovery and it came to life. Now everything working again. With this software, you can download roms, flash roms and recovery, use fastboot and even root your phone. You just need to connect your phone to it, ensuring that the USB debug is on, accept any notification and then you can browse your phone, flash roms and custom and stock recovery. It is the only way I found to recover my phone when fastboot not work, note that the ADB in the software is not working too but you can reboot in the fastboot with one click on the software itself.

thanks in advance for your help my phone is dead pls pls help

Hi, if your phone is totally black, when you connect it to the PC insure that you connect through the recovery (which will looks black too) then open the software in your PC, let it connect to your oppo, then open the tool area (an icon with 4 dots), select recovery ( the third one on the second row) open it, in the open window select the yellow folder and choose the stock recovery Oppo.N1.Recovery.1.0.0 ( search for it in the internet) then press the right Chinese icon. Now you can access the recovery again and flash the ROM back.

If you fail in the first step, try connect again with the same steps, then use the fastboot icon to restart on fastboot, then use the recovery icon again.

i made the process
everything is ok
i can flash recovery 1.0
BUT when i reboot look at the picture i attach and how the scrren appear and after turn black again
any idea ?
many thanks for your help

This is normal, just reboot into recovery through the software itself. When you select the recovery file there is an option to accept replacing the recovery, just tick yes... After flashing the recovery just boot through the software
