thanks cloudraker! it works! now i'm rooted!

this phone is slow without root! now i going to delete all those spamwarez!

[LG Nitro HD] brinboston:
hey guys... i just ordered mine yesterday, waiting for it to be shipped. new to android and this rooting thing... if i recall correctly i read somewhere that after rooting you can't remove every single piece of bloatware or your phone may not function properly? if this is true is there a list for this at&t model? thanks in advance
[LG Nitro HD] netnerd:
for some reasons, after i did root.

then do a Privacy -> Factory data reset

the phone is alot more snappier and faster!
[LG Nitro HD] akfritz:
Worked for me! Used Superoneclick 2.3.1.0. Forced the Driver install and it worked!

Took a couple tries for me as well, kept hanging up on step #7 but worked fine after I switched USB ports on my computer... thinking it doesn't like USB 3.0.

Thanks so much for the post!
[LG Nitro HD] cloudraker:
Now that you mention it, that may have been part of what was going on. I was using the 3.0 ports on my computer as well. Its just habit because when i charge my phone on the other front ports on my tower, it gives feedback through my front audio. Anyways, i guess if you are using USB 3.0 and it gives you an issue, switch to 2.0 and see what that does.
[LG Nitro HD] rsohne:
Can verify I am perm rooted also. After resetting it does seem faster. Is it my imagination that the speaker is also louder?
[LG Nitro HD] bleuzz:
I've tried a few things and can't get it to work. Would someone who has had success with this method please post a step by step guide? Once plugged in do we select Charge Only, Mass Storage, PC Software or USB Tethering? I assume that USB debugging should be checked? I plugged my phone in and the new hardware wizard launched. My machine never could find drivers for "CDC Abstract Contol Module" or "LG Android USB Device". I looked around on the LG website and found some drivers that didn't work. Any direction would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks

--Okay, I got it to work. I finally found the right drivers on the LG site. Somehow, USB debugging had become unchecked. Once I installed the drivers and checked USB debugging again and ran Super, it worked. It's so nice to have a device that has been out for just a couple of days and already have it rooted!
[LG Nitro HD] donharden2002:
Worked for me on first shot.

My first quadrant run of the night after rooting.
[LG Nitro HD] juzz86:
So what's the verdict Don? :-)
[LG Nitro HD] g35mt:
hm..thanks for this information, i was able to root the phone. Lesson one, make sure you are in debugging mode..dang it, took me awhile to figure that out..

Again thanks for the info
[LG Nitro HD] blopez24:
Whooooooooooooo after only 20 tries trust me i counted them i got root.
[LG Nitro HD] cloudraker:
Not sure why, but this phone seems to disable USB Debugging when you switch modes from charge only, to pc mode or to any of the other modes. Maybe im just not remembering correctly, but i am fairly sure on my samsung and HTC devices that it would stay enabled.
[LG Nitro HD] benya:
Use overseas?

If I root the Nitro, will I be able to use it outside the USA? If not, how can I ?

I assume it comes locked to ATT, correct?
[LG Nitro HD] akfritz:
So I love this device so far, but the biggest concern I have is battery life. They obviously hadn't broken in the battery before it shipped, but after two to three drain/charge cycles it seemed to improve a lot.

After I rooted and removed all Bloatware I could find, installed setCPU and setup a profile for low power with the screen off and been testing it today.

With 6 hours of moderate (with occasional heavy) usage it dropped from 100% to 55%. This was occasional web browsing,lots of pulse reading, played a few vids, 20min of gaming, downloading about 5-6 apps, GPS off the whole time, and had wifi on for about 3 hrs. Ran some benchmarks (6434 antutu). To summarize, to me it seems average battery life, not anything to write home about but it's about even with what my Captivate used to hold up to.

Anyone else got suggestions for ways on improving battery life without hindering performance?
[LG Nitro HD] juzz86:
Yes. You'll need a SIM unlock code, from eBay or a reseller. I don't think they're available just yet. I'm waiting too :-)
[LG Nitro HD] atvilelas:
Hi,

I made a huge mistake! Got mine rooted but accidentally I erased my Phone.Apk and Contacts.apk from the folder system/app.

Could you please send me a copy of it?

Thank youa
[LG Nitro HD] donharden2002:
Hey J, well I think there are better devices out there for sure but if this phone gains some dev love it could turn into something great. Could be the next captivate.

It's worth playing with and the screen is amazing. Whatever you do don't try running v6 supercharger on it, I've lost root and can't get it back.

Have fun with it.
[LG Nitro HD] rabbivj:
You could try Green Power... I use it on CM7.1 for my cappy and it works great!
[LG Nitro HD] atvilelas:
I tried to reset and hard reset it to factory settings but nothing worked.
[LG Nitro HD] juzz86:
You'll need a stock image, or someone to post them for you. Only way to get them back :-)
[LG Nitro HD] atvilelas:
Yeap. I tried to find the stock image but no luck. Maybe somebody in here will be able to dump those to files for me.

Thanks

[LG Nitro HD] benya:
I called AT&T, and they wouldn't provide the unlock code until June 2012.

I did a search and found a reseller that had one. Not sure if I can mention it here since its a commercial site, PM me if you want. I got the code from them for 8 bucks and it worked.

I've rooted using Easy Toolkit. I immediately did a Hard Reset and I also went ahead and froze bloat ware apps - about 32 of them. Phone feels much smoother and the battery lasts longer. Has anyone tried with the same results?
[LG Nitro HD] PearsonDKA:
The Nitro is the American version of the Optimus LTE? If so, I'm just about to try and root it and was wondering how and which apps would be the bloatware?
[LG Nitro HD] rkumbhar:
will surely check and let you know
[LG Nitro HD] PearsonDKA:
Actually, how would I remove the bloatware from the phone? Just used Super One Click and rooted it with no problems as well as a hard reset.
[LG Nitro HD] juzz86:
Titanium Backup or something similar. Be careful!!!!!!!!!!! :)
[LG Nitro HD] brinboston:
can you guys post some detail on the specific apps that you consider bloatware and have removed? if i understand there are some things you shouldn't remove to avoid screwing up the phone

also, for the at&t version it seems they made it pretty easy to simply uninstall a lot of the bloat even without root
[LG Nitro HD] beguiler:
Where do you get Superoneclick 2.3.1.0 from?

Sorry for the newby question. Just got my AT&T Nitro HD. Where do you get Superoneclick 2.3.1.0 from? I found a bunch of older versions, but can't seem to find the latest and greatest.

---------- Post added at 07:46 AM ---------- Previous post was at 07:39 AM ----------

Just found it. Never mind.

SuperOneClick 2.3.1.0 is at www . multiupload . com/VGCN3ZTFM8 (sorry for the spaces, but I am not allowed to post URLs yet)
[LG Nitro HD] aimhelix:
I actually did a small write up on another Nitro HD thread detailing all the things I've done to my Nitro HD so far in my attempts to optimize performance and battery life. You can see the post here. I've also listed the System Apps I've currently disabled. The one change I've done was switch from Go Launcher to LauncherPro. LauncherPro is just far more optimized than Go Launcher that at this point, my phone is buttery smooth when going from one home screen to another. And yes, I saw a pretty significant increase in battery life :)

I'd use barnacle. You can get it for free. Will allow you to tether. Its what I use.

On most phones (my Nitro arrives Monday) you can edit the build.prop to allow the android tethering to work.

You need root, and something like sqlite editor. Look in settings.db -> settings (or something similar, you might have to poke around) for entitlement_check, set it to 0 and reboot.

I'll try with my phone when it arrives and report back...

Funny quirk about this phone.

I set it up for development (settings, apps, development, enable debugging, etc.) and was having trouble getting adb to recognize my LG Nitro on Windows 7. Windows didn't like the drivers at first so I downloaded ones from LG and retried. Windows then seemed to be happy with it, but nothing was showing up when I did:

C>adb devices

Same for inside of Eclipse.

I tried bouncing adb several times and that didn't help.

It was exactly like the phone wasn't set up for debugging, but I just did that.

Well, I went back into the phone and saw that, somehow, that got turned off! As soon as I turned it back on all was fine.

Not sure how but thought I'd post this tidbit here to save others some frustration should it happen to you.

[LG Nitro HD] blopez24:
I would unplug and repeat

Sent from my LG Nitro HD
[LG Nitro HD] atvilelas:
This is what I figure out.

Turn off your phone. Unplug the USB Cable.

Go to Applications -> USB Debug Mode On (if you did not have it yet)

Turn it on, format your SD Card (Storage -> Unmount -> Erase)

Plug the phone on PC Mode

Then run SuperOneClick 2.3.1 and it will work on the first shot!!!
[LG Nitro HD] Namuna:
I'm bummed. Got my Nitro today and have been trying to root it for hours now.

I'm on a Win7 64bit machine, using Super 2.3.1

* Tried forcing the drivers from SuperOneClick

* Manually updated the drivers from LG (Device manager shows all good for LG)

* Tried 2 different USB ports (from a hub and directly connected)

* Verified that USB Debugging is indeed on

* Tried formatting the SD card

* Tried hard reset

Each and every time it fails at step #7 at the line.../dev/block/void/179:33 on /mnt/sdcard type vfat

Whatever it's getting frozen on though, it's locking the mount out on the Nitro too. Phone freezes up and requires reboot. :confused: :(

---------- Post added at 03:15 AM ---------- Previous post was at 02:54 AM ----------

You have got to be KIDDING ME!! What kind of cruel and unusual punishment is this??!!...I just got root!!

All hope abandoned, I went googling for "how to root android" and found an older article that when I read through it, mentioned using SuperOneClick...But something it also mentioned that I didn't see before is to MAKE SURE YOUR SD CARD IS UNMOUNTED !!!

This WHOLE DAMNED TIME I've been trying root with the SDCard mounted!! The first time I tried with the SDcard unmounted and now it's rooted!

So now it's 3am and I won't be getting any sleep cause now I gotta reload everyting...Onto my salaciously rooted Nitro!! :D
[LG Nitro HD] defender007:
I just plugged it in, forced drivers selected USB Debug again and it worked first shot. Thanks!. Just did a factory reset as one person said it would make it faster and that's it.
[LG Nitro HD] JGuinan007:
So where is ICS?

OK rooted now where is ICS?
[LG Nitro HD] V@no:
When you guys say "I forced driver" what do you mean?

I've installed driver from:

http://www.lg-phones.org/lg-nitro-hd-p930-usb-driver-download.html

Connected phone in "PC" mode, which by the way is the only mode that allows debug (correction, debug mode automatically activates "PC" mode). Anyway, after driver was installed, I killed adb process in task manager (I've tried SuperOneClick without the driver first, it just hanged), restarted SuperOneClick and hit root button. With a few failed messages it continue by itself and at the end it successfully rooted my phone.

I've restarted the phone several times, still rooted, in the superuser did update, it downloaded su update, but failed install at first, saying /system is read only and need reboot. I tried update again without reboot and it updated it just fine.

So far I see no issues with the phone everything works fine.

Thank you for the tips.

[LG Nitro HD] jboxer:
To use outside the U.S. you just need a sim unlock code. The unlock code server I use can provide the code or you can buy from a number of eBay sellers. On eBay the codes range from $9.99 to $12.99. On my website they are $9.99 for the AT&T Nitro HD. Once you enter the unique unlock code you can use the device with any sim from any gsm type system worldwide.
[LG Nitro HD] V@no:
Maybe try LG Nitro Manual Root

Also somewhere in that topic I posted a link for an old zergrush, which I found has more success rooting Nitro then the newest version.

[LG Nitro HD] V@no:
The old method I meant the v1 file from the topic:

DooMLoRD_v1_ROOT-zergRush-busybox-su.zip

The zergrush binary file is the old version, which has more "hamering" power then the new version (basically it doesn't give up as easy as the new version)

So, once you run in cmd window runme.bat file and if it fails, try execute:

adb shell "./data/local/tmp/zergRush"

I found that during different moment while phone is booting zergRush produces different results (at least when I had boot animation loop I had to try 1-50 times before it succeed).

But if on each execution you get exact same result it's probably not gonna work.

So good luck.
[LG Nitro HD] cloudraker:
One thing, and i dont know if it was a fluke. but i just removed root and put it back on, and both times it failed until i removed the SD card and restarted. Then it worked first try....so might want to try that.

Let me try again within a few -, but already tried physically pull SD out and

[LG Nitro HD] V@no:
And try run it during phone is booting up, right after or a few seconds after boot animation showed up..

I usually see 149 zerglinks, then 189, then it do something else, perhaps it needs that specific moment to do the job...

nothing at this moment for L-01D

I used superoneclick and hammered it after about 15 tries it did work.

I did switch USB ports, then it worked.

This was using windows 7.
[LG Nitro HD] hellothereyou:
this is going to sound really nooby, but I have been trying to follow the superoneclick root guides like the one found on techzek or android authority, to root my fone. I followed everything exactly, but it says the Superoneclick should automatically recognize my fone, but how do I know that it does? I saw some videos of superoneclick rooting a samsung captivate and the name of the phone shows up, so if the nitro hd name doesn't show up, does that mean superoneclick doesn't recognize it?
[LG Nitro HD] HJZS2K:
Have you tried using Doomlord's Easy Rooting kit? I have found after extracting and running the .bat file that I was able to root my phone on the first try. With SuperOneClick I had to do it about 5-7 times before it rooted.

wow that was so easy...thanks so much for the advice

I downloaded the LG drivers, installed. Then ran Doomlord's script and it didn't work 3 times. Afterward I ran SuperOneClick and got it on the first try.
[LG Nitro HD] AllstarE4:
OK so I've read through this entire thread, but I still wouldn't know where to start to root my Nitro. I'm new to android and have never rooted. I did, however, find this tutorial online and it makes it sound so simple. Does this look correct?

http://www.androidauthority.com/how-to-root-lg-nitro-hd-39814/
[LG Nitro HD] dbjungle:
That should do the trick. ;)
[LG Nitro HD] AllstarE4:
Couple questions...

Would it be best to remove both the SD card and SIM card to root?

Does it mean the same thing when I see "hard reset" and factory reset? I know there's a reset function in the privacy settings menu, but isn't that different from a "hard reset"?
[LG Nitro HD] Malnilion:
Usually when people refer to a hard reset, they're talking about holding power down until their phone reboots (i.e. the same definition as a hard reset on a computer). A factory reset wipes phone data (so that on next boot you'll see the first start wizard); it also wipes some, but not all, data on the sdcard.
[LG Nitro HD] AllstarE4:
OK I just don't get it. I've tried SuperOneClick and DoomLord and neither work. They both stop at *Daemon started successfully* which is the second line in the process. Nothing else happens.

I've followed instructions, but something isn't right. I am missing something, but I just don't know what it is.
