no cse web upgrade test button

I'm having the same issue on windows 7 32bit.

---------- Post added at 11:47 PM ---------- Previous post was at 11:39 PM ----------

Same issue but on 32 bit windows 7 and SAME results. In need of a solution.
[LG Nitro HD] BarchDaddy:
Worked like a charm (mostly)

Thanks for the extremely helpful guide and files. I now have the stock ICS rooted and I'm very happy. I did run into a few small issues that are listed below. Most of them had to do with administrator rights.

Step 13: I received an error message: "Can't open SCM" every time i tried installing shttp3 from your files. It didn't seem to be an issue though.

Step 16: Flat out wouldn't work because of administrator rights. Then, I tried step 13 as administrator, but this step still didn't work. I eventually went online and downloaded the latest SHTTPS from their website (not allowed to link). I then did step 13 with the new install file and as administrator (still received the error noted above) and then step 16 worked.

Root issue: One small issue I encountered was ROOT.bat kept saying "Device not found" or something like that. I rebooted my Nitro and this problem went away.

On installing CWM, I imaged the rooted version of ICS and tested the root, and therefore skipped step 1.

Other than these slight differences in my install, the guide was perfect. I used win7 32 bit machine to do everything. Thanks a ton!

Sigh... I have been trying this all day, and having no luck. I am still not sure if i properly edited the hosts file, not quite sure how. So if thats the problem could someome pleeassseeee help me? i got as far as doing the update that isn't supposed to pass 4%, but went right to 100% no problem, the phone rebooted once but stuck on LG screen. It says to try from steps 23 again but it wont let me update cause im already up to date... I dunno, I have a useless cellphone, a headache, and really need some advice.
[LG Nitro HD] drumist:
It can be tricky, especially on Windows 7. Here's one way to do it:

From the Start Menu, go to All Programs, then look for "Command Prompt". Right-click on it, and select "Run as Administrator". Click Yes on the prompt.

In the command prompt window that appears, type the following (copy/paste if you want) then press enter.

echo. >> C:\Windows\System32\drivers\etc\hosts
echo 127.0.0.1 csmg.lgmobile.com >> C:\Windows\System32\drivers\etc\hosts

Then close the command prompt window, and you should be good to go.
[LG Nitro HD] Opt1musPr1m3:
Making progress. Now it finds updates, starts going but says cant connect to server. uptest also keeps forcing close and wont work. What am i missing here?

[LG Nitro HD] ShadowOf:
mattman...THANK YOU

:good:Fantastic guide -- I'm all for making this one the official guide, well written. I followed the steps to a T on a windows XP machine, and it worked perfectly (despite human error & McAfee working against me). I went from unrooted stock ICS to CM10, and love it.

I'm on a work PC that I could only temporarily disable antivirus, and it would turn back on and delete http.exe. So I had to have the AV console open to quickly disable the AV as soon as it turned back on.

If anyone gets a frozen pink Optimus LTE boot screen as I did (I clicked the wrong upgrade button, should have clicked the one in the CSE window):

1. Unplug phone (reboot phone a couple times to make sure you are actually stuck)

2. Walk-through and verify you have done all steps correctly from 1-31

2. Hold down power (mine would power off then automatically restart)

3. As soon as the screen goes black hold the volume up button and plug in to PC via USB (this will get the Download Mode screen to come up, if not try again, until the download mode screen appears)

4. Continue with steps 34-40
[LG Nitro HD] mattman86:
I just tried the guide on Windows 8 64-bit clean install and it works great.

I didn't do anything different than the steps in the guide.

[LG Nitro HD] Maverick.Marq:
Unable to perform step 31

Hi all, maybe someone can help me with this

I'm able to complete the sw installation to 100% but the phone gets stuck on the LG Optimus LTE loading screen

I can't update to v20 because that's what I had before and it seems as though It thinks I still have that.

I think the problem is that I'm clicking on upgrade test with csmg client > normal upgrade test.

because there is no CSE web upgrade test

any help is appreciated.

I just reran through all the steps on a fresh windows xp machine and bam CSE appeared I have a good feeling about this :D
[LG Nitro HD] ShadowOf:
Maverick, read my post on the previous page. I hit the wrong upgrade button too.

My previous post gives steps if you are boot loop stuck on the optimus lte load screen.

Good luck.
[LG Nitro HD] Maverick.Marq:
Its important to note that if at the bottom right of the screen if you don't have 2 install options something is wrong and you should restart the process from scratch

@ShadowOf thanks for the advice I read your post before I posted didn't have luck till I tried starting over on an machine

I added a poll to the OP so that users can get a glance at how effective the guide is. If you used the guide and haven't voted in the poll, please do so.
[LG Nitro HD] sookster54:
Telus P935, also stuck at the LG Optimus LTE load screan, when I used the upTestEX exe I saw no "CSE upgrade test", just "normal upgrade test".

PS- gonna try this on my netbook which still has Windows XP, I did the first try on Windows 7.

Edit- yup worked on XP, now installing CM 9.1.
[LG Nitro HD] handsupdb:
Unsuccesful on Windows 7 64-bit with Bell Optimus LTE on Bell Official ICS, had to send the phone off to LG to get it repaired, I was hoping theyd send it back with GB but its back on ICS.

So everyone who's done it on XP has had it work?
[LG Nitro HD] rani9990:
Machzelet's original unbricking guide worked for me Win7 Ultimate 64-bit
[LG Nitro HD] handsupdb:
Which one is that?
[LG Nitro HD] nss007:
thanx 4 this topic

but in step 37 the pre-rooted ICS ROM V20c_IMG.zip link dont work , i found it in Mattman86's Nitro Repository is this the same file ??

my at&t nitro is on official ics 4.0.4 v20c and i never rooted it before can i use this guidance to change the rom and root the device ?
[LG Nitro HD] gd566:
good

it is valuable
[LG Nitro HD] mattman86:
Yes, its the same file. I had to reorganize the directories last night and haven't been able to update the links.
[LG Nitro HD] noobsquared:
For people having issues of phone getting stuck around 80 - 90%, make sure you take out your SIM card and your SD Card.

I could not get past 90ish% after 3 - 4 tries.

All I had to do was take out SIM card and SD and that did the trick :)
[LG Nitro HD] mattman86:
It won't always go beyond 90%. Every time I've unbricked, it has rebooted my phone at 90% and everything is great.
[LG Nitro HD] noobsquared:
Lol. Sorry, I wasn't clear. It would fail at 90% because it won't be able to reboot with SIM card in the phone. Took SIM out and SD, restarted process and rebooted at 90% just fine :)
[LG Nitro HD] thuanngotau:
Where can I find the Phone Mode in Test section to change to EMERGENCY?

BTW, I see only "Normal upgrade" option
[LG Nitro HD] noobsquared:
Here you go. I marked all 4 fields that you need to mess with.
[LG Nitro HD] thuanngotau:
Your R&D Test Tool looks quite different!!!
[LG Nitro HD] rani9990:
Maybe because he's on XP? I use Windows 7 ultimate 64 bit so...
[LG Nitro HD] thuanngotau:

I recently unbricked my lg nitro using this guide everything worked like a charm btw im using a acer laptop windows 7 64
[LG Nitro HD] mchief298:
After a week of trying EVERYTHING, and updating to the official ICS.. Nothing worked. I had tried this one once before as well, but realized I had missed a step. It was 2 in the morning and I was frustrated. I gave up trying to root my Nitro. Then yesterday I checked the thread again, and noticed I missed the 'hosts' step. Went through everything, and it worked the first (well, second) time! THANK YOU MATTMAN!

Am now running CM10 Nightly, and this was done on Windows 8 Enterprise 64-Bit. :)
[LG Nitro HD] nss007:
hi my nitro is not breaked its on official ics and i need to root this device becouse after update wifi dont work its only scan and cant find or connect to any accesspoint and i dont have access to waranty service to change the phone

( i did hard reset befor , its only a software problem , every thing was working in Gingerbread)

as i found this problem was occured before in some regional roms in htc samsung sony ics updates and wifi problem is a common issue in ics update, they fix it with next updates, some programs like wififix are able to fix this problem but they need root access

i'm a beginer plz help me root it

if i should pass the unbrick method until last step ?

which rom i shoud use to have a rooted official ics

how much is the risk of this process ?:(

did anyone have any suggestions to fix this problem ?

thax for your attention
[LG Nitro HD] Hutch89:
I would flash the leaked v18 ics software and then flash back to the official using the lg update tool. You may have to run a program from the unbrick process to trick the update tool into allowing a flash to older software...hmm I'm not sure anyone know if this works?
[LG Nitro HD] nss007:
ok i will flash leaked v18 with unbrick method and then root it , i wana khow if i update it with lg update tool , the phone remain rooted ??

can i flash v10j baseband in ics v20c and does it help wifi works again ??
[LG Nitro HD] cashy57:
Can you skip "Flashing AT&T Stock ROM (2.3.5 or 4.0.4)"?

Can you skip the "Flashing AT&T Stock ROM (2.3.5 or 4.0.4)" part and still get root and cwm and install a custom rom?
[LG Nitro HD] drumist:
Since you don't have data connectivity, you'll have to push at minimum the CWM recovery image (i.e., you can't use ROM Manager).

Then you'd only have to do:

dd if=/sdcard/recovery-clockwork-5.8.2.0-p930.img of=/dev/block/mmcblk0p13

If you do that, make sure you flash a proper baseband after you install CWM or else data connectivity won't work.
[LG Nitro HD] _b_ship:
Success!

Just wanted to say that after spending a bit of time with this, I am now running CM10! Thank you so much for this guide, very helpful. For some reason I was having a problem at the rooting step on my x64 Windows 7 system, so I got fed up and switched to an XP system and BOOM, no problems. The problem was it kept saying Device Not Found when trying to root. Either way, I win :D

Thank you!
[LG Nitro HD] J3STUR:
The V10f_00.kdz file was not in the KDZ_FW_UPD_EN folder but i found it in another thread. Is it just me or is this file missing from the easy brick zip?
[LG Nitro HD] J3STUR:
Okay great guide! Got it rooted and everything first try pretty much. Thanks to everyone that contributed to making this possible. Now it time to try Jelly Bean for the first time. And I have been without android for almost 3 months, since my evo3d went bye bye. I was getting withdrawals lmao. Thanks guys!
[LG Nitro HD] X0dus:
AMAZING guide! Thank you to the OP, if you're still around these forums. Just got the Nitro yesterday and it was running the apparently 'unrootable' v10j fw. This guide broke it down easily and painlessly to get to v10f stock AT&T. Again, TY!
[LG Nitro HD] mattman86:
I updated the guide to show the true location of the kdz.
[LG Nitro HD] blopez24:
Tried this im on leaked ics version v18 i believe rooted.

When i press power button twice to get to do a back up it stays on screen with lg logo and says

17920

17930 secure booting error!

17930 cause : boot certification verify

17940

17940

Enter the fast boot...

Enter the fastboot...

Long time no see!

And it stays there
[LG Nitro HD] drumist:
You can only make a backup after you have installed CWM.
[LG Nitro HD] Swetnes:
Looks like you tried to install cwm recovery without unbricking your phone first. LG has the boot loader locked on v18f and v20c. First unbricked the phone to a root able Gingerbread then install the recovery partition of cwm then install the rom of your choice and you should be golden.
[LG Nitro HD] blopez24:
Im already rooted on the leacked ics build

My phone isnt bricked. I still have to do all the steps anyways?
[LG Nitro HD] Swetnes:
Yes because of the locked boot loader. Following the unbrick guide allows you to retain the GB boot loader. Otherwise the ICS secure booting loader sees that you tampered with your phone and refuses to boot. So yes you have to unbricked your non-bricked phone in order to install cwm and official ICS. Now if you didn't care about cwm and just wanted root then you don't have to do anything. Silly I know but it is life with the Nitro.
[LG Nitro HD] blopez24:
Thank you for the help im already doing this. I appreciate it.
[LG Nitro HD] blopez24:
After everything i got it done but my internal memory only reads 2 gb memory instead of the near 8 gb original
[LG Nitro HD] mattman86:
Which phone do you have? My Nitro has always read 2GB since I got it.
[LG Nitro HD] hereric:
You never had 8GB original. This phone only comes with 4GB ROM, and formats it in a way that about 2GB are reserved for system and other core android files. Realistically the end user only gets 2GB of inbuilt storage on this phone (which is bull****, but whatever.)
[LG Nitro HD] mattman86:
Perhaps a dev could make a ROM that utilizes all of the space?
[LG Nitro HD] drumist:
Do you think 2GB is not enough? I guess since my last device had only 185MB allocated to the data partition, I tend to be appreciative of the space this device has...
[LG Nitro HD] hereric:
For most apps it's plenty of space, but when you start getting into the gameloft games, you really can't have more than one installed at a time.
[LG Nitro HD] drumist:
Can't you move those apps to the SD card to open up more space?
[LG Nitro HD] Hutch89:
I've never had an issue with storage space on this phone, even with several large games installed including dead trigger, gta3, modern combat, Sims, etc
[LG Nitro HD] mattman86:
Gameloft saves their game data on the SD card unless you have set that you don't want it to.
[LG Nitro HD] darkhokage:
I can't seem to get my phone rooted. Any ideas?

I am running ICS V20d
[LG Nitro HD] ShadowOf:
What type of computer are you using and what OS?

Did everything seem to work when you went through the steps?
[LG Nitro HD] saidelzahar:
thank you MATTMAN

thank you MATTMAN for your guide which is very helpful ,i am now on CM 9.1 after i stucked with official ICS v20c and i have acer laptop windows 64 bit for doing unbricking with no problems
[LG Nitro HD] sgtkid12:
Would I need to use this guide if I want to root and I'm on 2.3.5
[LG Nitro HD] mattman86:
Yes, 2.3.5 is, thus far, not rootable. The guide will downgrade you to 2.3.4 which is very easy to root.

You can then install CWM and flash any ROM you like.
[LG Nitro HD] Konoe:
Stuck

Well I am somewhat stuck.

I try to follow the steps but when I get to the shttp3.exe I am unable to install anything. My antivirus blocks it from getting onlines and I even tried connecting to it when I turned it off. Still nothing...so is there another option instead of having to use shttp3.exe? Because I don't have another computer to try this on.

And as for a side question.

I am totally stuck on the "Download Mode" no matter what I do. Just so I know ahead of time I was wondering if there was still some hope for this phone or not?

Going to try now! Needed to add the program to the Allowed List in order to be able to use it. Seemed it would black list the program and also block it even while the Firewall was not on. Shall continue and ask again if I need help.

---------- Post added at 05:02 PM ---------- Previous post was at 04:36 PM ----------

Well I go to edit them but when I come to do that there are no files. I've installed all the needed files and they did install.

LGUnitedMobileDriver_S4981MAN36AP22_ML_WHQL_Ver_3.6.exe <~ Not installed since it has 3.8 or is that a problem?

LGSmartPhone_ModemlinkDUNDrive_WHQL_ML_Ver_1.0.exe

LGWindowsMobile_USBDriver_WHQL_ML_Ver_1.0.exe
[LG Nitro HD] mattman86:
Do you have administrator privileges on your PC?
[LG Nitro HD] Konoe:
Yes I have administrator privileges on the account.

So is there something I might do in order to get those files to pop up?
[LG Nitro HD] darkhokage:
I have a Lenovo. It's running windows 7. When I try to downgrade the application hangs and closes. When I tried to root it on gingerbread I couldn't get past the 7 th step on superoneclick. Every method that i tried failed. I even tried the manual root method but it didn't work.
[LG Nitro HD] mattman86:
You could run this in a command prompt as administrator:

echo 127.0.0.1 csmg.lgmobile.com >> %SYSTEMDRIVE%\Windows\System32\Drivers\Etc\Hosts

Then this:

ipconfig /flushdns

That won't get the files to pop up. But it will add the required entry to the hosts file.
[LG Nitro HD] drumist:
Need to echo a blank line first. That will put the entry at the end of the last line instead of on its own line, because the default hosts file doesn't end with a CRLF.

Edit: I could be wrong. Swear I tested this not too long ago and it didn't.
[LG Nitro HD] normaaaan:
Unrelated to the current discussion, but FYI, I had to have the PC connected to the Internet to get the flash utility to pop up.
[LG Nitro HD] Konoe:
Derp

So I did the command prompt and now I have the files "hosts".

So after all that I followed the steps and went to reflash the phone and everything seemed to work. It seems I went from a hard bricked to a somewhat soft brick since at first it was completely stuck on the "Download Mode" but now it is stuck on the LG Optimus LTE screen.

So now to clarify some things I've read to make sure everything is at least up to par with the guild.

Making Sure:

When I see the "Hosts" File I open it up and add the LGect name into it with notepad? And insert it and save or put it after hosts to change the file format?

With Small Server I did all the steps changing 80 to 9002. Added the wwwzip files to folder www in shttp's C drive folder. I restarted and opened shttp and this is the only thing that is displayed on it.

Is there something else that should have popped up or is that fine?

Then there is the "B2CAppSetup.exe" when I open it. Do I open it and then just hit the X to exit? Or do I right click the icon and exit or use Taskmanager?

Then with "UpTestEX_mod2_marwin.exe" I don't have the option "CSE web upgrade test" but just the Normal web upgrade test.

AND LAST ONE!

When it updating it will update how? Because to get my phone off of the Download Mode I used the "UpTestEX_mod2_marwin.exe" program not the LG Software update.

And lastly in advance thank you as well as sorry for any frustration. I am a noob to these smartphones so I am just at a complete loss trying to fix this.

Just to show I saved the log. If it provides any help.
[LG Nitro HD] mattman86:
I tested just before I posted. This does put it on a line of its own.
[LG Nitro HD] Konoe:
FML

So I came to a rough stand still....

As I had been doing what I was doing I did something wrong when I just took my time instead of panicked the entire time..

Instead of path I had it on ComSpec. So I changed it to the correct path and did all that good stuff, but now it won't do anything. When I try to update it all I get is this.
[LG Nitro HD] darkhokage:
Could someone please help me root my su640? I am running v20d.

I used my laptop, a lenovo running windows 7, to try and root my phone but everytime I try the application hangs and does not respond. Soon after, it closes.

When I try tge CSE update test it says your phone is already uo to date and when I try to start the upgrade via the uptest mod, the application hangs and does not respond.
[LG Nitro HD] liqdnitro:
I can't unbrick, because whenever the S/W Updater switches from Download to Update, I get this message. Any suggestions?
[LG Nitro HD] darkhokage:
Could someone please help me?
[LG Nitro HD] liqdnitro:
You need to make sure the host file has been changed properly. You may have to go into Properties on the hosts file, and allow access to all users. Once that's changed and you're running shttp, you won't get the version issue. Make sure you do it as a CSE Web Upgrade Test, too
[Nexus 7 General] StupidIdea:
*Root required*

I just added support for Nexus 7 in my gestures application. Lite version is free and covers functionality available in iPad. Paid version is all about customizing - you can create your own gestures with custom actions, start any app with gesture, hide status bar and soft buttons.

Market: GMD GestureControl Lite

XDA thread: GMD GestureControl Lite

Video in market is very old, app evolved from it a lot, so better try it yourself.

Note that I cannot answer market comments, so if you have some requests, please post in my XDA thread.
