Can I restore it (20n) backup on stock 10c, back to their firmware I can not, therefore, ask someone with 10c did it, what result?
[LG Optimus Black] N00BY0815:
Hey mate did u read the VERY FIRST POST already? If not, do it pls, just like everyone else, how has questions on how to flash, where to download and so on... What do you think, what a first post is meant to be for? Not meaning this in a rude way, but some of you are really experienced and though simply dont read... And I cant explain how I did it, since I simply got lucky... Trying, but until now, I found no way to redo it... :confused:
[LG Optimus Black] N00BY0815:
I think I dont really understand you, but I think you mean if you can install it on stock v10c. Yes you can, but you need to root your device and install CWM first. HOW to install: FIRSTPOST ;)
[LG Optimus Black] painkiller_93:
It's a nandroid backup, you would need to unzip it on your sdcard and restore backup from CWM recovery
[LG Optimus Black] ohadz:
I'm currently on the German 20N officialy firmware.

I'd like to root my phone, so I have to flash back to stock rom , get root permission and then flash the V20N repacked with CWM Recovery?
[LG Optimus Black] Orcusen:
I'm not sure but I think you're referring to my comment

My friend did the same as N00BY ROOT (my friend was first)

He made a NAND 3 files and shared with us. (boot.img system.ext3.tar recovery.img))

the link to the download is in this forum

Sorry for me english

---------- Post added at 02:29 PM ---------- Previous post was at 02:28 PM ----------

Yes, that's right ;)
[LG Optimus Black] ohadz:
Is it worth that? Is the new rooted firmware stable as the official rom?
[LG Optimus Black] gabwerkz:
I see, now our O3D brothers are interested as to how and what method used. If anyone of them asked you about it, try your very best to help them together with your friend. Thanks.
[LG Optimus Black] Orcusen:
Yes. No difference.
[LG Optimus Black] bellalmo:
so your friend manage to do this by simple playing in the hidden menu and apply the root.

or does he has a method of doing this? if soo can you share it with us? :)
[LG Optimus Black] N00BY0815:
Here is the text from my log of unlockroot, to all those who are interested:

Kill adb server

Starting adb server...

Get online devices

Try LGE shell rooting...

push file to device : rootutility

chmod file 755 rootutility

Restarting debug mode...

Waiting for debug mode...

push file to device : busybox

push file to device : su

chmod file 755 busybox

Rooting, please wait...

Root Succeed!

IF you don't believe , send the exe to https://www.virustotal.com/

I want root, but not with this cost . F... LG , others companies have began developing a closer relationship with XDA developers, open the bootloader to public, etc.

What is the point to have Android , you have open source ... but not that open after all...

I want my CM7 back .

I like the feeling of being in total control of my phone, the hurry to flash another nightly, the pleasure of real open source...
[LG Optimus Black] N00BY0815:
Yeah we all know... but if you would have googled a bit, you would have found that it is NO VIRUS, but an exploit, which is recognized and nothing else... :p
[LG Optimus Black] Ilko:
thanks for the log nooby, I'll do more plays with adb cause there is one thing I was not doing, it's to change chmod for busybox, maybe it's the key to success ?
[LG Optimus Black] EkimPadd:
For all of you guys that still having lags on gallery and camera try the app "sd speed increase". Your phone will be 1/10 faster if you put it on 2048kb.

Skills are Ruth and ClockworkMod recovery, but on firmware 10c, backups stock firmware can not be restored, no working recovery for this firmware, so I ask, is it possible to restore a backup 20n?
[LG Optimus Black] N00BY0815:
Pls use search or google to find:

root v10c Optimus black

and install ClockworkMod

thats how you can install either the nandroid backup of 20N or take Redy's repack. You can find both in first post.
[LG Optimus Black] somboons:
Thank you Nooby

I wonder with my log.txt my log.txt don't have

"push file to device : Superuser.apk"

what do you play in hidden menu?

Could you tell me?

Thank you.
[LG Optimus Black] N00BY0815:
If I could, dont you think I would have postet it already :D I was just trying a bit of everything, but mainly with USB settings, but I REALLY dont remember what, sorry...
[LG Optimus Black] LordGiotto:
Which exploit does unlockroot use?

I want to try it manually :)
[LG Optimus Black] Ilko:
just explore its install dir... the exploit file is named rootutility and is based on zergrush
[LG Optimus Black] LordGiotto:
Thank you :)

I've tried many many times, with different conditions, but nothing.

Zergrush output is cryptic, i can't figure out why it doesn't work :|

lol I can't believe that.. which option did you use ? When ? Which circumstances ? do you know that psneuter only works on froyo ?
[LG Optimus Black] N00BY0815:
Which Version of GB do you use? And did you already check if its FULLY ROOTED? This message is also shown if it's only local root. ´

Check it with a programm like Titanium, which requires real root, then come back pls ;)

Lol EVERYONE is freaking out ;)

btw, did anyone already try to reboot during root process? my phone at least rebooted somewhen dureing the root process and I think I also had SuperOneClick open in the background, but idk if it was running or not...
[LG Optimus Black] donjamal:
and u got super user rights ? coz i got this rootcheck and it showed me the same but i haventgot root access
[LG Optimus Black] quyTam:
Congratulation Ilko, you succeed to make a GB root application without knowing it :p
[LG Optimus Black] Ilko:
well, your unbelievable chance was a miracle. I even tried to combine several exploits one after one without success. God bless you :D

I doubt about that, blackjack uses psneuter which is designed to work on froyo (anyway this is what I've read while documenting)
[LG Optimus Black] exe127:
can it root V20B?
[LG Optimus Black] Ilko:
this is a joke, he didn't explain anything whereas he was online.

it's B , not N!

where is the root for v20B ? I wonder
[LG Optimus Black] N00BY0815:
There is no rooting possibility for neither 20N nor 20B! If you want official GB and root, either flash 20N or wait for a possibility to root it. Anyone will be able to redo it, I have faith in you guys :D

-edit-

V20N by redy or mine, whatever you prefere...
[LG Optimus Black] exe127:
Yes! Nothing is impossible! I am impatient to it:o
[LG Optimus Black] Aramak:
Answering: Here the root access is no full like I supposed (Titanium Backup did not work) but I say: ROM Manager Works and do not shows that's no root access. That's the reasos of mistake.

Correct me if I'm wrong and excuse me for the late answer.

Hello, I have several questions:

I have installed a Nand of N00by and...

1.- I have noticed worse performance than KDZ V20N (Feelings are mine)

2.- LG UPDATE tells me that i have installed 10E. (Installed prior to Release NAND 20N)

​

3.- How is this possible?

4.- The version is a fake?

5.- ROOT The reason may be a bad update?
[LG Optimus Black] naeem86:
i don't think its fake but i have noticed that performance is not the same as v20n not rooted. also battery life seems to be better with v20n not rooted. :S

Install V20N, do a factory reset then, reboot at least once, install busybox, enjoy ;)

If you have ANY doubt, dont install it and dont always say: I think it's not real, because IT IS! If you won't trust me, don't install it and wait until anyone makes a new exploit to root it, or finds out about the way, how I randomly did it :)

I DID IT!!

I was able to root my Optimus Black all on my own!!! I used a combination of SuperOneClick, Gingerbreak and Unlock Root!

Here is what I did:

1. Run SuperOneClick, and wait until is stops. It normally stops at step 7 for me.

2. While SuperOneClick is still running, run GingerBreak

3. While SuperOneClick AND GingerBreak are still running, run Unlock Root

4. And Voala! Rooted!

That is what I did to unroot, I don't know if it will work for anybody else, but it's worth a try.

Cheers!
[LG Optimus Black] mihaiolimpiu:
I've tried every combination and it still doesn't work :(

After installing official v20n couldnt root as with other users then I tried flashing firmware to V10E_00.kdz , after flashing with R&D toolkit phone would crash on start , some android error making the phone stuck and crashing on start , even tried flashing older V10B_00.kdz, same story would crash once phone loaded up start launcher

Then flashed firmware back to original stock with SmartFlashTool_External using files BIN_LGP970AT-00-V10a-EEU-XXX-MAY-09-2011_0 as in the guide

phone stated up ok no crashes on launcher , but another problem fone was unrootable now . i tried every method from super one click to blackjack

flashed fone to V10E_00.kdz but still unrootable untill i tried method used by other users in this thread

1.Step use super1click SuperOneClickv1.7-ShortFuse once started it will appear to hang just leave it open

2. While SuperOneClickv1.7-ShortFuse still open i ran blackjack and it rooted fine

I then installed v20n rooted version from within cwm

this method does work

My guess is that LG have made it harder to root once V20N is flashed
[LG Optimus Black] 1aca:
What difference do you think that would make?
[LG Optimus Black] 1aca:
Aren't those all based on Gingerbreak or psneuter? AFAIK those holes have been patched... Also, which ROM are we talking about?

Can anyone repeat this?
[LG Optimus Black] N00BY0815:
I hope we are still talking about HOW TO ROOT V20n as written in the title... Also wonder if anyone can redo it...

Maybe already this gives at least some superuser rights to the phone and we can crack it that way ;)

Well what a surprise, u flash an already rooted rom, provided by me and it is rooted when u install it :D sorry for the irony, but thats the most logical thing in the world :D

Sorry for the confusion bro i installed

V10E_00.kdz then rooted it then i flashed,

V20N_00.kdz official firmware then rooted with method I mentioned down below and made a CWM backup of this.

Then I flashed the nandroid backup version P970_GB_234_V20N_signed to test which version is better (Which i know is pre-rooted)

Tried this method now several times and it works on V20N_00.kdz official firmware

1.Step use super1click SuperOneClickv1.7-ShortFuse once started it will appear to hang just leave it open

2. While SuperOneClickv1.7-ShortFuse still open i ran blackjack and it rooted fine

[LG Optimus Black] N00BY0815:
If you wanna hear my honest opinion, we shouldnt try to keep on unrooting. We already got the rooted ROM, even Zeus Rom, which is better by far and so we should just wait until they make a new exploit to root it. If it's out, I'll probably make a HOW-TO and then everything will be fine. There still is no approved method, that works for all. Of course there always are some lucky guys, like me and you, who are able to root the device by accident, but it still doesnt seem to be a procedure, that can be redone by everyone else. If anyone finds a method, fine, post it here and I'll add it to first post, but I wont keep on trying, since I got a whole lotta other stuff to do at university... Hope you dont get me wrong, I appreciate, that everyone is trying his/her best, but we simply need an easy repeatable method, working on all PCs.

So I wish you luck, if you dont wanna take a rooted ROM (why-so-ever) and post it, if you find a method ;)
