I am assuming that you are rooted and have unlocked your boot loader, which of course is necessary to install a custom ROM. Are you using TWRP, or a CWM based recovery and is it up to date? If your recovery is not up to date then that could cause issues. If your ROM was corrupted during download that could also be an issue as well. It's hard to say exactly without having more information on your situation.
[LG Nitro HD] suhridkhan:
awesome tutorial... was intimidated initially due to the large number of steps involved, but clear and concise instruction made totally doable.

happy to be running cm11 on my old nitro !
[LG Nitro HD] LiquidSolstice:
You're kidding. It's that easy?

Well, I have my suspicions, because I tried to use the KDZ updater from this thread: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1784709

And did the same process, including the Window Enabler, and I was able to pick the KDZ file but it froze on Extract. I wonder why?

EDIT: I tried it and made sure the "ON" was visible; still can't click on anything. I wish I knew what was up.
[LG Nitro HD] hereric:
What windows enabler does, is when it is "ON" you can click on grayed out options once to enable them, then set them to whichever option you need. Make sure you ran it in administrator mode.

You HAVE to use the KDZ_FW_UPD.exe that comes with the rar file. The one available elsewhere will crash when trying to install the p936 KDZ.

Also, thanks for pointing out the problems with my guide so I can edit and fix them guys. Added some info about what windows enabler actually does.
[LG Nitro HD] X0dus:
I've heard from two people that have used this guide and it eliminated the camera power button bug. As far as HO!NO! FT, that bug doesn't exist in his ROM nor do reboots. Maybe at first, like i experienced, but that quit after a couple days of running it. Probably the kernel settling in was the culprit to those reboots.
[LG Nitro HD] handsupdb:
Does anyone have success on this guide with Windows 7 64?
[LG Nitro HD] LiquidSolstice:
Would you be interested in perhaps Teamviewer with me? If you don't feel comfortable controlling my computer, perhaps you could just be a viewer and I could show you what I am doing and you would probably see what I'm doing wrong?
[LG Nitro HD] lordcheeto03:
Yes, I used Windows 7 Home Premium 64bit and didn't have a single problem.
[LG Nitro HD] punk_zappa:
Thanks!

I finally had the balls to go with ROMs because of the dreaded reboots and your way is fairly easy. Also used with Windows 7 64-bit and no issues.

I am not too familiar with the "adb shell" at the end and CWM did not install so I just downloaded and installed it manually. Now running HoNo's Hyper Sonic ROM. Here's hoping no more reboots.
[LG Nitro HD] arda99:
easier way?

Wondering if some expect can check the partition table and make an easier solution, as ICS can be directly rooted now. Say if we can identify the bootloader partition then all we need to do is

someone backup the GB bootloader

dd if=/dev/block/mmcblk0pxx of=/sdcard/gbbootloader.img

then unbrick under rooted ics

dd if=/sdcard/gbbootloader.img of=/dev/block/mmcblk0pxx
[LG Nitro HD] TheCrow1372:
Sorry I don't understand, can you explain better so I know what I may be missing please?

Thanks
[LG Nitro HD] LiquidSolstice:
So. I figured out what the problem is. I didn't properly read your instructions.They appear grayed out and after you toggle the Window Enabler on, you literally have to click on EACH control at least once before they become usable. I would add that specific bit to the guide for those who are unfamiliar with KDZ tools :)

It went extremely well, and my friend is currently rocking Jelly Bam. I own the One-X, so I'm unfamiliar with development here; is the "delayed" camera shutter a known issue with AOSP? That seems to be the only imperfect thing about the ROM.

How about you actually pay for your copy of Windows instead of running it pirated?
[LG Nitro HD] hereric:
Are you using the version that comes with the zip? The other one doesnt work.
[LG Nitro HD] Swetnes:
Just click on "view phone information" at the bottom of the window DO NOT CLICK ON UPDATE the program WILL crash. At least it does on my 100% GENUINE WINDOWS 7 64 ULTIMATE...if you click on view phone information it will work just fine.

After trying every guides on the internet, I was with the conclusion that my phone can never get root, but just putting my phone in download mode, which nobody mention before or I missed it (hardly). Now I root my phone using my GENUINE PIRATED WINDOWS 7 64 ULTIMATE....................

Two meaningless posts in one page, I hope you are not getting your rank from S^^^^^ posts:confused:
[LG Nitro HD] LiquidSolstice:
I guess you don't have the intellectual ability to understand why I asked what I asked; I'm just pointing out that the issue might have been that his pirated Windows comes with a bunch of stuff of slipstreamed (drivers/updates) which could be causing him an issue. Using clean unpirated Windows (which by extension would need to be paid for) would guarantee that his pirated copy isn't causing a problem. Maybe it wouldn't fix it, but it would isolate the issue. I didn't realize I'd have to spoonfeed my reasoning out, but I guess you in all your infinite wisdom couldn't figure that out.

And thanks for making me laugh. My what? Sorry....rank? What rank? You mean my post count (which I don't care about?) or my thanks meter (which I also don't give a damn about)? Or perhaps you're talking about my Dev group? You know how I got those? By isolating problems and figuring them out. If you're too insecure about the fact you pirated Windows and you want to get defensive about it, that's really not my problem.

But it's cool, man. Keep sticking it to "the man" and the "greedy companies". Keep on pirating, you're totally making a difference. :) :good:
[LG Nitro HD] TheCrow1372:
Are you actually speaking to LS like that and if so, he is trying to point out that you or any member should not be posting about getting illegally Windows software programs especially in an open forum and mentioning names such as a HUGE company like that which can bring down the house of our beloved XDA FORUM and thats what I have to say and if it is a useless post than so be it!:cool:
[LG Nitro HD] TheCrow1372:
I don't get it (sorry), at the point where you 'Launch Software Update' and than I do this step:

Once these settings are enabled, hit the "Launch Software Update" button.

15 - After the update has run, the phone should bootloop on the second logo screen. While it does this, run AfterROOT.bat from the KeepRoot folder.

I get stuck on the what looks like the 'CMD' prompt window and it says: '======================================================================

Please Help

I'm sorry, I just want people to be focus on the main reason why we are here and from what I gathered [LiquidSolstice] his not using this phone, maybe next time he can just PM and let the poster know what wrong about his post so he/she can make correction and people wouldnt have to go through all these off point posts, that been said....

Please I need help I made it to:

Step 20 - Run the following commands, while the phone is plugged in and has USB Debugging enabled

I input all the commands and get no error but I cant see anything or changes. Please the screen shot and point to the right direction

1. As you can see my post I made to the last step but I did with both Window7 and Window Xp, So if a step is not working in window7 please use Window Xp

2. Maybe some drivers are not installed properly so pull battery out and put back in, do not switch on the phone, just plug it in your system and see if some drivers are auto installed for you.

3. You can just start over from step1, which I did countless times
[LG Nitro HD] LiquidSolstice:
Here's how I understand it (bear with me; I don't own this phone but my good friend does and I was determined to get him off his terrible stock Gingerbread and show him what Android is really all about). The US Gingerbread version that ships with the phone simply cannot be rooted (believe me, I've tried millions of different ways). The US AT&T version of ICS can be rooted, but one cannot flash Recovery (ClockworkMod, TWRP, etc) from it for whatever reason. The Korean version of GB can. What this method is attempting to do is root the US version of ICS (just root, not flash recovery), preserve root using KeepRoot (which is used to preserve root when taking OTA updates), flash Korean Gingerbread, and from Korean Gingerbread, we flash recovery. Once done, we go into recovery and flash whatever we'd like. It's an ingenious, if not convoluted method of getting recovery.

As far as I can tell, you seem to be having a driver issue. While the phone is booting, if you try "adb devices" and it does not show any devices connected, that could mean several things; your driver might not be installed correctly (an easy fix), or if After.bat isn't working, it's possible that Before.bat was not working either. I would uninstall the driver through the device manager (all the LG drivers), restart, reinstall the driver package, restart, and plug the device in while in Fastboot mode (so the drivers install), then plug it in booted into Android and

Yeah, a disguised backhand slap is still a backhand slap. Just because I'm not using this phone doesn't mean I'm not experienced with how the process works; it took me days to get it right. I don't need to PM anyone; if I feel like mentioning that a pirated copy of Windows could be an issue, I will damn well do it and I really don't need your permission or okay to do so.

So do me a favor, and let it go.

You are done. Boot into Recovery. Go through the Factory Reset. It will still ask you if you want to factory reset, so press power twice and instread of factory resetting, it will take you to Recovery where you can flash any ROM you'd like.

There is no reason why it would work in Windows XP any "better" than in Windows 7. This is a driver issue, not an operating system issue. Both 7 and XP access the drivers the same way.
[LG Nitro HD] kaybest:
Thank you Everyone

Thank you, I think there should be "step 21":D or Notice:good:

Well believe me I had to you Window7 and two other Window Xp, it may be due to different software installed.

e.g Window Xp on Step 19 - Open cmd in KeepRoot\adb, I get this is not a valid win32 ------------- error

So I moved to Window 7 to complete my long but wonderful journey

Thank you Everyone
[LG Nitro HD] TheCrow1372:
Why when you click on the 'drivers' link on first page it says 'Access Denied', where else can I get the real or actual drivers so I can start this over again for the 3 time cuz I just uninstalled the drivers on my Win7 to get a fresh start plus I'm stuck with this CRAPPY GB 18v?:crying::(

The drivers are inside Hereric's package. I think it's inside the KDZ folder.
[LG Nitro HD] TheCrow1372:
What? and thanks LS, that I can understand but I went ahead and installed via LG Canada site but again can anyone agree with above help suggestion or add to please cuz GB sucks and still I'm not complete? :(
[LG Nitro HD] LiquidSolstice:
Well, start the process again, and do it slowly. I can't stress that enough.

Also, remember, with Sparky, it makes you reboot three times, and tells you to wait until the device reboots. I waited at for at least 30 seconds after each time it said media scanner complete (as that's usually the end of the boot up sequence).
[LG Nitro HD] lordcheeto03:
You asked where to download the drivers... go to the link I provided, and it's required tool #3. Those are the drivers you require.

I'm stuck here after running 'Step 15' and it keeps going between normal LG logo and LG logo with a flash of blue and pinkish color but it does not reboot into being able to use the phone and move on to :

16 - Pull battery and perform factory reset. (Restart phone, then hold VOL DOWN + Power, then pressing power twice) so what now? (sorry guys):(

---------- Post added at 05:34 PM ---------- Previous post was at 05:28 PM ----------

This doesn't happen for me LS? plus again, this is my 'Daily Driver' so if this does not move forward in the next hour or 2, I'll have to go back and re-install 18v and be able to use my phone until I can get further?

-edit- the CMD window finally went through it's steps and loaded permissions/busy box/su and others than said hit 'any key' and I did so than it said it was going to reboot but still sitting on that stupid LG logo crap?
[LG Nitro HD] drumist:
Yes, you're correct on everything except one thing -- this guide actually utilizes a P936 GB ROM, not the SU640 ROM. It's confusing since they have the same file name.
[LG Nitro HD] TheCrow1372:
Hey bro I apologize but even with that link, I'm a P935 not P930 so I just installed the ones that are in this threads download link package?

---------- Post added at 09:10 PM ---------- Previous post was at 09:07 PM ----------

I'm a P935 so what do you think my issues falls under in my issues and I have downgraded to that GB/18v or what ever but no further so I had to resort for now to settle going from ICS/4.0.4 to this crap cuz its my daily driver and I've tried 5 times plus uninstalled the drivers and installed and started all over again and again (still stuck)?:(
[LG Nitro HD] lordcheeto03:
Did you at least attempt to perform a factory reset when it was still boot looping? If I remember correctly, mine boot looped and continued the boot after factory reset.
[LG Nitro HD] TheCrow1372:
Yeah I tried but don't know if that explaination works for me and I don't know why, what is it supposed to look like or do when I perform that cuz I do as it says 'Restart than hold volume down and power button than hit power button twice' it does nothing when I do it but have no problem putting it in 'Download Mode'??
[LG Nitro HD] lordcheeto03:
Well, you turn it on by holding the power button and volume down until a prompt comes up asking if you want to factory reset; don't let off of either one until you see that prompt.. That's when you hit the power button twice. From there it takes you to the stock factory reset page; should be a little android icon in the middle of the screen with a status bar.
[LG Nitro HD] TheCrow1372:
Ok will try again later and thanks for that full explaination, just saying thats the way it should be written and I know that the dev is trying to make it as simple as he can plus it is until I try that part but maybe I'm just dumb with LG lol so use to other Android phones. One odd thing too if this helps is that when I did the downgrade to 18v using this process I noticed that it ends up as an AT&T phone but my Telus provider still works (accept) for the 'data' and while out I can't use my phone for internet or other things that use 'data', I'm guessing that the guy I got the phone from bought it in the U.S under AT&T than unlocked it and switched to Telus and that is why I can use it but what next can any one let me know also should I try the other methods cuz under the battery it does actually say 'P930' not 'P935' which I assumed because of being with Telus? (sorry for any confusion, I'm confused too) lol
[LG Nitro HD] TheCrow1372:
Anyone??:crying:
[LG Nitro HD] lordcheeto03:
Maybe check apn settings. They might be different for telus than for at&t.
[LG Nitro HD] TheCrow1372:
Sorry bro I've never messed around with those settings but what do I look for and it's odd cuz I was going to take a screenshot of that screen to show u but it won't take a pic with pushing 'home&power' buttons also should I try the other unbrick root method since I now know my device is an AT&T/P930 model?
[LG Nitro HD] hereric:
Hey TheCrow, from what I understand you finally got my guide working? I edited my OP and tried to put a bit more detail in the parts you had issues with. I also fixed the broken link to downloading the LG drivers.

This guide is actually better for your device, since it ensures your phone has the proper build ID (P93X). The other guide has you flash a SU640KDZ and leaves your phone with an SU640 build id.

Try these APN settings:

TELUS Mobility

Name: TELUS SP

APN: sp.telus.com

Proxy: 74.49.0.18

Port: 80

Username: <Not set>

Password: <Not set

Server: <Not set>

MMSC: http://aliasredirect.net/proxy/mmsc

MMS Proxy: 74.49.0.18

MMS Port: 80

MMS Protocol: WAP 2.0

MCC: 302

MNC: 220

APN type: default,mms

Most ROMs have a built in APN list that sets your APN based on your SIM. If those settings above don't work, you can try installing a different rom, or you can also try flashing different basebands which are available HERE

Also, can we try to keep the discussion related to the P930 guide, NOT whether or not people are using legitimate copies of windows? I have run this guide on genuine and on illegitimate copies of Windows 7 AND Windows 8 and have had no problems.
[LG Nitro HD] TheCrow1372:
Thanks bro for listening to my rambling even though ur method is perfect and I am grateful for u editing it, as of now I'm not fully rooted yet cuz of my issue I had with the resetting part and will try again tonight plus I'm not on any ROM yet but want JellyBam desperately oh and I'm not the one with the illegitimate Windows lol I have my own paid for Win7. :)
[LG Nitro HD] lordcheeto03:
I have the P930 on AT&T and have encountered no problems yet due to the P936 KDZ... almost certain your problem would be the APN settings and not which unbrick guide you follow. In fact, the only problem I ever had with the SU640 KDZ was the camera bug in CM10; everything else worked flawlessly.
[LG Nitro HD] TheCrow1372:
Yeah thanks to you and 'H' I'll have this done by tomorrow since now I know my phone was with AT&T and a P930 not a 'P935' lol so will be done tomorrow, thanks guys and sorry for all the troubles.:o:good:
[LG Nitro HD] X0dus:
Ok. What am I doing wrong? lol

I get to step 5 and run P930_UDT_v18f_04112012 but it ALWAYS fails at 30% saying it can't establish a connection w/ the phone. I installed the driver from the link provided in the foreward. I'm using the cable that came w/ the phone, and yes, I'm 100% sure I'm in Download Mode. :P

EDIT: I've also tried a different USB cable and I'm using Win7 Ultimate 64bit
[LG Nitro HD] LiquidSolstice:
Out of curiousity, Hereric, is it possible to use this method but instead of using the Korean firmware, use the American GB with Keeproot?
[LG Nitro HD] drumist:
It would be possible if we had the KDZ for the USA AT&T Gingerbread ROM.
[LG Nitro HD] LiquidSolstice:
Ah. Bummer. I wonder what kind of archive a KDZ is. Maybe it might be possible to repackage a system dump as a kdz. Then again, that might be more of a solution looking for a problem that's already been solved.
[LG Nitro HD] TheCrow1372:
Just asking, have you tried right clicking on the main few programs that come with the download and running them in 'XP Service Pack 2' and as 'Admin' plus I'm on Win7 Premium?
[LG Nitro HD] X0dus:
Sorry, i tried to run as Admin but haven't tried compatibility mode yet. I'll try that n get back.

EDIT: Compatibility Mode didn't help. I'm gonna uninstall my LG drivers and start over.

EDIT 2: Reinstalling the LG driver didn't help; likewise, i tried a legacy LG driver. I also tried a different USB port to no avail.

Any ideas would be appreciated.
[LG Nitro HD] lordcheeto03:
I don't even remember if I ran as admin or not, but I didn't use compatibility mode at all.
[LG Nitro HD] TheCrow1372:
Don't take anything I say in the wrong way cuz I'm not done with mine yet but I got through that part 'step 5' no problem and all the way to 'step 15' so have you tried pulling battery again and starting all over plus I noticed that even though I had my phone plugged in while doing this that the battery was actually draining, (maybe) your battery level is too low at that step again just trying to figure this out for you and others (maybe) lol?
[LG Nitro HD] X0dus:
Yea. I pulled the USB cable first and then the battery (per instructions of LG S/W Updater) to no avail. My battery still has a 62% charge after trying. I've had other problems w/ my Win7 install w/ other random things so maybe this one is added to the list of why I need a new image of Win7 on my machine. /shrug
