Thanks for the reply TheOneW....

Just wondering if I should keep trying to root these devices as I attempted SuperOneClick & Universal Androot and they both didnt work....

SuperOne Click doesnt pass ADB server stage and Universal Androot says "Sorry cannot root this device????

Any help is appreciated...

Thanks
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Theonew:
If you are brave enough (willing to continue), then do so. Different devices may require different methods of rooting (so you'll just have to see which one works for you).
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Maximus_20001:
Thanks ,

Its just I'm a bit new to the android scene and hesitant about trying too many things with them...

Dont want any expensive paper weights....lol
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Maximus_20001:
Ok have tried all 4 options above and none look to be working...

Are they guaranteed to work???
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Theonew:
Don't do anything you don't feel comfortable with. Make sure you read first and know exactly what you are doing (including all the risks).

No. It just depends on your device (and firmware version). These are just the most common ways which don't have to be device specific (only one device can use that method).

Hello

The same problems as Maximus_20001, i hope you are from Portugal just like i am.

It´s those things that make me wonder, if i will buy the Memup.

Thanks Theonew...

I am just wondering is there any steps to backup before trying these methods incase of bricking???
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Theonew:
See here: http://android.appstorm.net/how-to/...-back-up-your-android-device-without-rooting/. Unfortunately, you cannot backup your system without first rooting your device (only possible on some devices).
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] Kestrelio:
I recently converted to the Android side, rooted, customized, etc etc etc. Now I'd like to root for further theming, bloat removal, and whatever other optimizations come along with that.

But, after reading various ROM threads for Skyrocket, it seems there are a ton of issues that pop up that, as a total newb, I wouldn't be immediately able to resolve on my own. Not just the threat of bricking my phone, but losing MMS capability, or WIFI not working right, and so on.

My questions: Is it worth the hassle? Are these issues minor and quickly resolved? Can I truly brick my Skyrocket ("brick" to me means render it permanently inoperable)? Which ROM is the most popular for Skyrocket?

Thanks for your patient responses.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] silver03wrx:
Yes you can truly brick your skyrocket. If u accidentally have re-partition checked in odin is a good way to do that. Yes rooting is worth it. You cant just jump in and do it. You need to research, and understand what your doing before hand. Learn what rooting is. Learn the basics. What odin is. What a tar is. What cwm is. Just read read read. Then when you do decide to taje the leap follow all instructions posted exactly.

Everyone has a best rom of choice. Depends on the person. I choose red sonja rom. To me its the best. Butbonce you root, and learn how to flash a rom. You will have to try them, and decide which is.best for you

We all started as noobs. And through lots of reading and research weball learn. The ins and outs
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] roughneckboren:
Exactly what silver said. I crapped my pants with my first root and flash... Ended up soft-bricking and with all the research I did I fixed it. Youtube is a really big help too! Make sure you have a backup and backup plan. Good luck and welcome to the smart side of smart phones!

Knowledge is the way to go
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] Kestrelio:
Thanks. I guess the threat of bricking my phone is somewhat deterring. Guess I'll keep reading around on it.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] roughneckboren:
It is but if you take the proper precautions and have all the available files you'll be alright. And for God sakes make sure you have debugging checked.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] mimart7:
Just read the guides is my advice. I've only been doing this for a few weeks, and xda has provided with the best help by far. This is my first true smart phone.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] hcyplr29:
^^^^^^^^^^^^^agree with everyone. i used to mess with my g-tablet while i had my iphone (jailbroken of course) and now i just got the skyrocket knowing that xda would provide tools to modify the phone from its orignial capabilities. having a little knowledge of cwm and flashing roms i felt that it would be fairly simple to apply the same tools to my skyrocket. after reading and reading through every thread i was skepticle about rooting and flashing a custom rom to my phone because of all the problems people were having. the MOST important thing is READ and UNDERSTAND the instructions before you do anything. even after my experience with the tablet, it still took me 3 weeks to fully understand what i needed to do and what i needed to do it. i rooted a few days ago and yesterday i flashed skyscreamsandwich, and today i applied the camara hack. i love this phone 10X more than i did stock and looking forward to more. the ones having so many issues are not following proper instructions and not doing reasearch thus soft bricking or even bricking their phones (and trust me i know from experience, i bricked an atrix) still takes guts do dive in, no guts no glory!!! just my 2c good luck...
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] Kestrelio:
Thanks again. Of course, if I do brick it, I probably wouldn't count on AT&T replacing the thing..
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] mimart7:
If you brick, don't panic. Worst case scenario a jig would be needed to unbrick. Soft brick can be undone without much grief. Just read before you do anything.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] Mortem Tuam:
yup, we were all noobs at one point.

Most important thing to remember on the forums, READ before you ask questions. This is not because we don't like to answer questions, but when it's a question that has been asked hundreds of times before and answered......it gets aggravating.

Sometimes you will not find the answers you are looking for in the SkyRocket forums....sometimes you will need to venture into other parts of xda. Google is also your friend as well as other sites like RootzWiki.

Also remember to be polite and patient when asking questions. When I first started I always asked the question followed by a plea for forgiveness if I was asking something that had been answered. It also helps to post links or sites where you did go search for answers. It's a good thing to show you are being pro active in looking for your answer and not just expecting everyone to solve your issue.

We have to remember. These are OUR phones, not anyone elses on the forums, WE have to take responsibility for our own devices. Whatever you do with YOUR phone is entirely on YOU, not the Devs or xda or anyone else that may have answered a question for you.

Following these basic ideas makes for a better community. I believe in community, I had a great bunch of friends over in the Captivate forums......which most of them remain friends on Google +

I look forward to making more friends here on the SkyRocket forums.....and together we can make this a kick ass community. :cool::cool:
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] silver03wrx:
I think it already is a kickass community. And hopefully remains that way.

[HTC EVO 3D] wfd410:
could some one please help I am running Blackend RLS2 on my evo 3d hboot 1.5. I love this rom it is by far the best rom I have ever seen but for some reason I can't get my wifi or 4g to work. When im in the settings both wifi and 4g say error. I have redownloaded and wiped phone 2 time
[HTC EVO 3D] Twolazyg:
Flash the kernel again or try a different one.
[HTC EVO 3D] wfd410:
k im doing it now. when i go back to factory rom or any orher rom wifi and 4g work. i have looked and cant find anyone else having this same issue with this rom. from what i have been reading they say everything works on this rom.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] erosgulo:
Just curious as to what speeds fellow Bell GN owners are getting around the GTA.

Can you please post highest and average up/down speeds?

Personally I'm averaging about 4 Mbps up/down, highest down was just over 8 Mbps, and highest up was about 5.5 Mbps

Seems kinda low to me considering we are within their faster 4G zone...

Looking forward to seeing how everyone else is chugging along!
[LG Nitro HD] hashhash:
do a factory data reset ? my phone gets stuck on LG logo too when i try to move all my apps to SD using titanium backup . factory data reset option resolves it however . see if that works ?
[LG Nitro HD] V@no:
Unfortunately factory reset won't help in this case, the app messed up something in the system.

But as long as it gets to the point when you can use adb (it comes with SuperOneClick if you don't have it installed), then yes, there still a chance ;)

To make it easier, can you contact the app's author and ask what exactly that app changes in the system, which files, so if necessary we can provide you with these files.
[LG Nitro HD] Malnilion:
V@no,

I have adb from SuperOneClick, how would I know if I can use adb?

Edit, I guess what I'm asking is do you have a quick guide to connecting a phone using adb and pushing files that you can hit me with a link to?
[LG Nitro HD] V@no:
open CMD window and type:

adb devices

It should show you your phone.
[LG Nitro HD] schwin97:
adb devices

If that comes back with a device listed you can still save your system. Good luck...
[LG Nitro HD] Malnilion:
Okay, I'm at work now, but I'll check when I get home. I do believe I tried that command and it didn't show any connected devices, but I can't remember if I only tried that while I had it in Download mode or also while I was trying to boot it. I'm keeping my fingers crossed lol.
[LG Nitro HD] belth219:
You should searching for the file named KDZ_FW_UPD_EN,and install LGMobile Support Tool which can be downloaded on the LG Official website.And then you should download the *.kdz file that matches your phone.

Finally launch the KDZ_FW_UPD_EN flash your phone with the kdz file.

I use the tool bring my bricked device back.

Good luck.
[LG Nitro HD] Malnilion:
belth219,

Problem is I can't find a .kdz for my P930. This seems like it'd be really easy to do otherwise.
[LG Nitro HD] Malnilion:
Alright, I've created a tutorial in the first post describing how I unbricked my phone. I don't think it's quite back to "stock", but I don't think anybody who bricks their phone will care about that.
[LG Nitro HD] belth219:
You have done the great job.Thanks for the baseband.img.It made my SU640 closer to PERFECT!EDGE enabled!!
[LG Nitro HD] Malnilion:
I can't claim credit (or blame lol) for creating any of the images in this tutorial. Gordec is responsible for 3/5 including the baseband and I am so glad he responded quickly with each image correctly copied!
[LG Nitro HD] raytraceme:
my 4g lte isn't working.
[LG Nitro HD] Malnilion:
My 4G wasn't working until I did a factory data reset (a second one, actually). Is it just your LTE that's not working or 4G in general?
[LG Nitro HD] Sandpapers:
Will this give a version that has wifi and regular calling available right off the bat? I messed up my nitro to the point that i can only sometimes make phone calls and my market / browser won't function at all. Force close immediately.

Think I should try this as an option?

AT&T LG Nitro HD P930 is my make

Also, I use it on TMobiles prepaid network. I only get edge. I checked the bands, I think im right but wanted reassurance that edge is all i can get. Thx
[LG Nitro HD] repherb:
To the best of my knowledge, prepaid service providers only allow maximum 4G, but vary by provider. No prepaid that i know of allows access to the LTE network, only on a post-paid plan.

If you have a AT&T unit unlocked for use on another carrier, then there's not much you can do in this case. sorry.
[LG Nitro HD] raytraceme:
basically my att data itself.

att goofed up on my data plan. The thing is great thanks a lot!
[LG Nitro HD] Sandpapers:
csmg.lgmobile.com:9002/swdata/WEBSW/LGSU640/ASKTBK/V10i_00/V10i_00.kdz

I couldn't get the version with the f's in the original post to work. Will this one do? It's 460 mb.
[LG Nitro HD] raytraceme:
nope because you cant root the ...i version thus making it worthless.
[LG Nitro HD] Malnilion:
Sandpapers,

I'm uploading the V10f_00.kdz to megaupload right now. I'll update my tutorial as soon as it's done. Sorry I didn't do this sooner.
[LG Nitro HD] lghtnngxxx:
Hey man. but I'm in the same situation. Only download mode, factory hard reset and boot loop. Can you please give me a link for the .kdz file that you managed to get working, or upload it? Some links are down, and rest of them dont seem to work for me. I have been trying for hours but not even a slight progress.
[LG Nitro HD] Sandpapers:
Having issues rooting the v10i version. Going to try the v10f version i had saved. If it works i'll upload the file again for anyone who doesnt have it.
[LG Nitro HD] lghtnngxxx:
Yeah man, actually I used that v10i_00.kdz version downloaded from lgmobile. I was really glad that you managed to unbrick your phone, I'm in the exact same situation. I guess I'm doing something wrong. My phone precisely reboots at error message=94 every time. I set up loop to=1. Deleted the .dll file. Still no good. Enters into download mode, hard reset, but thats all. Damn I have been trying like 9 hours :/:/
[LG Nitro HD] Sandpapers:
My phone was rebooting and going to LG Optimus LTE. Does yours do that? If it does, then you're good it should eventually boot. At least that's how mine happened. Hope it works for you
[LG Nitro HD] dualmax:
How did you manage to use the program without mfc42.dll because when i tried that, it won't let me select the kdz file, everything is grayed out and i cannot click on it.
[LG Nitro HD] Sandpapers:
Gotta have windowsenabler running and set to ON. Look at your icons in the bottom right corner. Turn the windowsenabler one to on with 1 click of the mouse. Then it should still be greyed out but you can at least select a .kdz file now.
[LG Nitro HD] yuranet:
Can someone re-post V10F_00.kdz

I can't find work link
[LG Nitro HD] lghtnngxxx:
Well, my phone goes to LG Optimus LTE screen, loading bar animates for 2-3 seconds and then stops. I can get into download mode, do a hard reset but thats all. I'm on a windows 7 64 bit. Does it have something to do with this? I dont get an error message by the way. Upgrade completes and phone reboots. Then I'm stuck at LG Optimus LTE screen.
[LG Nitro HD] dbjungle:
@lghtnngxxx

The same thing happened to me the first time. I had to try it a couple times before it worked. Use the v10i from the LG site. There's also another post about how to root that one if you get it to work.
[LG Nitro HD] dualmax:
I am on the same boat, flashed then hard reset and stuck at lg optimus lte screen.
[LG Nitro HD] lghtnngxxx:
Thanks for your advice. Well I'm trying to update with the KDZ_FW_UPD. Does it have anything to do with my issue? Shall I use the Uptest_EX_Mod2? And one last question: How many times did you try? And did you change any parameters? or tried to flash the way it is?

---------- Post added at 06:50 PM ---------- Previous post was at 06:48 PM ----------

Man I exactly know how you feel right now. If I get this to work, you'll be the first person to be notified on how to do it.
[LG Nitro HD] dbjungle:
Use test mod. You should only have to change the path to your kdz. Someone posted screenshots that were right on the money. I had to try twice, but I think some others had to do more. Hope this helps.
[LG Nitro HD] lghtnngxxx:
Thanks man. Just tried 3 times consequently. Nothing's changed. This is ridiculous. I'm about to go crazy and smash this goddamn phone. I havent even flashed a custom rom. Why'd this have to happen to me.
[LG Nitro HD] dbjungle:
What happens when you start over? Does it ask you to reconnect your phone or does it just sit there?
[LG Nitro HD] dualmax:
The beautiful LG Optimus LTE logo will be stucked there until battery dies.
[LG Nitro HD] daebaybay:
Hmmm is it not even doing the non-stop rebooting?
[LG Nitro HD] dualmax:
NOPE. NOTHING AT ALL, JUST THE LOGO. i THINK THE RECOVERY IS MESSED UP AND CAUSING THIS. WELL, I HAVE NO SMART PHONE FOR A WHILE NOW..........USING MY N-GAGE .........
[LG Nitro HD] fishscale28:
Are you sure you have CDMA checked as the phone type? Also check V@no's post #134 and follow those pics exactly. That is the money shot...Be sure every option, every line and every button is pushed as shown in his photos...

Good luck!
[LG Nitro HD] V@no:
Also I'd recommend redownload all the files again. If that doesn't work, try another computer (or virtual computer if you know how). I use Windows 7 x64 and had not problem last time I did unbricking (1 week ago)
[LG Nitro HD] lghtnngxxx:
Actually if I flash the SU6200 kdz, it starts to boot loop. But for SU640, it just freezes after 2-3 seconds on LG Optimus LTE screen.

---------- Post added at 12:27 AM ---------- Previous post was at 12:22 AM ----------

Thanks man, your illustrated guide is awesome. The problem is, I cant find the "different country" option in software update tool. It says "your S/W is up to date, needs not to be updated". That should be the trick, server is determining the update according to selected country. Did you use the very same files in this post? Im on a Win7 X64. I just downloaded Oracle VirtualBox. I was thinking that might be the issue (possible Win7 incompatibility), but apparently not.
[LG Nitro HD] V@no:
Yes, I used the same files posted in this topic...I guess LG changed something on their end.

What happens if you flash LU6200, then flash SU640, will it still say your software is up to date?
[LG Nitro HD] dbjungle:
Plug it into a wall charger for a couple hours and let it charge some battery then try again.
[LG Nitro HD] lghtnngxxx:
Whatever version I flash, It says up-to-date. Do you know exactly where the country and language selection is? It might have sth to do with the progress. I cant pass beyond the updater tool, cos it says I'm up-to-date. When I try to change the country, updater refreshes according to the changed country option. The country and language selection on updater tool doesnt have a "different country" setting.

---------- Post added at 01:37 AM ---------- Previous post was at 01:10 AM ----------

I just flashed SU6200. It boot loops instead of freezing. SU640 V10i_00.kdz freezes after 3-4 seconds (animated loading bar freezes on Optimus LTE screen).
[LG Nitro HD] cloudraker:
I just ran into this as well. I think LG has changed something on their end. I have used this method of unbricking 3 times in the past with zero issues, and now im getting the same problem. It used to ask you your country right after start upgrade and it would proceed. Now, instead it opens up the regular LG updater and then tells me my software is up to date. Even if i click start updating, it comes up and tells me it cant communicate with the phone. Im wondering if there wasnt something done on LGs end to stop this from happening.
[LG Nitro HD] lghtnngxxx:
If I can get this working, I swear to god I'll ebay this phone right away. And keep off LG for rest of my life. I shouldnt have left my beloved SGS. Like the phones troublesome interface was not enough, due to some stupid software support policy, I'm outta luck. I really messed hard with my samsung, everytime I thought "this time I really hard bricked it", but managed to recover. Damn it, truly damn it. Forgive me guys, Im so damn frustrated right now.
[LG Nitro HD] lerv943:
im also experiencing this on my phone.i used to unbricked my phone no problem but lately it doesnt work. my phone now is keep on rebooting in cycle. i tried flashing without connecting to the internet butit doesnt work. maybe there is something wrong with lg server. it keep on telling me that my software is up to date....
[LG Nitro HD] Sandpapers:
I would say give it a little bit. Keep trying methods and just assume they'll fail. Won't keep you feeling so disappointed.

Sorry my method didn't work. You said in an earlier post you were using kdz_fw_upd? I used uptestex_mod2_marwin to do mine.

But heres a question for you lghtnngxxx, what did you do to brick your phone? Also, is your phone recognized if you open up a command prompt and do adb devices? When you factory reset, does it restart as if its going to cwm, but ends up flashing a little brighter black blank screen and then going to the lg logo boot loop again?

I wanna try to understand your phone from your problem. I'm guessing since we bricked ours in different ways? Idk, im just reaching out on a limb now. I want to help you out
[LG Nitro HD] lghtnngxxx:
yeah man. but to be honest, i remember selecting country and language at the very beginning. but i didnt know that it was crucial not to select any country back then. it might have sth to do with country option. also updater is not so dependable. It sometimes displays wrong build info. have you ever gotten into the downloader and seen "phone is not supported for software upgrade" message. Cos it happened to me couple of times.
[LG Nitro HD] Sandpapers:
When you selected country and the language that was before LG changed something on their end. If you could get to that point now, you'd be able to unbrick for sure. That was the go to way.
[LG Nitro HD] lghtnngxxx:
thanks man, i really appreciate your help, even if it doesnt get me anywhere, brainstorming is good to begin with. Well, I rarely do cold boots. So I dont really know what put me into this situation. I mean I cant determine the exact reason. Cos as you might know, many issues pop put after a cold boot, you are fine as long as you dont power off. I havent flashed any custom rom. Just the CWM mod. I probably did a wipe through CWM. I didnt know that there were issues with CWM wipe. Thats when I fell into the loop. I was still able to enter CWM. I wasnt aware of the boot loop incidents in XDA, so I didnt take it serious and did wipe data/cache/dalvik cache/sd card all the way. Thats when **** has hit the fan. I wasnt even able to charge the battery. phone started to loop as soon as I plug into computer or wall charger. Then I pushed kdz couple of times. Right now, apparently im on V10i_00.kdz. But I may not be, cos I dont suppose its working for me. When I power on, it displays LG logo, then LG Optimus LTE screen. Loading bar animates 3-4 seconds then freezes. Thats the point when it tries to read bootloader, am I right? I can get into hard reset (dont know if it helps). Obviously download mode. Thanks again man, I really appreciate your efforts to help.

---------- Post added at 06:12 AM ---------- Previous post was at 06:02 AM ----------

No man, ADB is not working. All those wipes and resets delivered the finishing blow. I should have searched the web before I got myself in deeper trouble. But really I was unaware of the CWM's behaviour. But I cant blame it, cos its an exceptional tool to have. But theres something interesting. When phone is in D/L mode, usb connetivity is limited. But when I power it, even flash drive is displayed in my computer, but not reachable of course.
