Hello,

I have a LG-970 from Orange Romania, I used code to unlock sim, it works now in Vodafone Romania but the Vodafone APN is not working (the APN is set corectly).

Someone has the same or related problem ?

P.S. I tried diferrent firmwares, european open, orange romania etc.

How do you obtained the unlock code?

Sent from my LG-P970 using XDA App

yes, but not on the files themselve. Pushing must be done first for all files before runing the exploit. That's all. I'm doing some final tests (best context will be if the exe can send parameters by itself without running a "shell open" of a .cmd file)

Here we go. Here a new rooting process I've developed according to my knowledge and based on known methods. It uses the psneuter exploit in a better way, I hope. I called it BlackJack :D

1 clic, 20 secs, no errors. Tested on 10C-E / 11C (bouygues)

It should be P970 designed, but since "yaffs2" mount is used, it could be used for another P970-like device. These are suppositions. Tell me if I'm wrong.

USB Debugging ON / Unmounted SDC (preventing / optional)

Link/file removed, update coming soon
Enjoy testing !

Unfortunately it's not working for me. :(
Restarts my phone after pushing files.
V10e POL/POLAND

EDIT:
Yay, it works!
1st time it didn't worked and restarted phone. Second time it worked and now I have a root. :)
Never succeded with other methods. This is the first that's working for my device. :)
Many thanks Ilko!

I'm glad for you man :)

I never planed or thought about unrooting, it may be easy to do that.

you can see the code of the .cmd file by opening blackjack with 7-zip.

good to know : because of NSIS limitations, the process starts with a timeout delay of 13 seconds for letting enough time to the exploit to run. Because psneuter can't kill adb by itself, it needs an external intervention. So, 13 secs after having launched blackjack, it will send a command to kill adb, whatever is happening. That's why daemon starts a second time right after the exploit.

So, if you have firewall/AV which detects an adb connexion for 127.0.0.1, allow it. If it is done too late, you'll have to restart blackjack because of the delay !

I got bootloop today (fonts issue), so I needed to reflash v10e open europe. I did it and I couldn't believe rooting v10e is sooo easy with blackjack now!
Click - root.
Click - cwm.
Done!
Thanks!

glad for you guys :D, it seems working well for some french users too (frandroid.com).

@maludroid yeah, I like when things are the most simple as possible. The thread has been viewed almost 100K times. I wasn't even imagining that when I started !

Request I ask to those who downloaded blackjack 1.0 (actual one in UPK is 1.1), as it uses "yaffs2" mount it may provoke an update issue with Superuser. When I rooted again with the "mmcblk0p8" method, superuser was updated without errors. Not sure about that, because on SU page, there are several feedbacks which mention that bug with the latest update.

Hi there!
Can someone tell me if I can flash V10e from europe to a P970H?

I'm afraid I can brick the phone if I do that, but I'm asking because I came from a Xperia X10a and never had trouble flashing versions for X10i.

Thanks!

Thx!
I did flash the European version v10e and the phone worked fine.
But... had to downgrade because couldn't root.
Is there any way to root latest versions?

Thx

    ANTIVIRUSES MAY DETECT EXPLOITS

    Some Extra files : V10E Patched (EU), V20S Patched (EU) | V30B (FRA) | Superuser+.zip (will push AnReboot + ES Explorer as well) | SuperOneClic 2.3.3 | Gingersnap 2 | ADB.zip | FW Converter | GPS_Fix_2.zip | and more...

    Note : V10E & V20S here are the OPEN EUROPE versions in binary format, and are patched with CWMT so they're ready for root (flash superuser.zip from SDC via recovery, see below the root tut)

    | Firmwares |

    Now I let this task to more competent than me :D

    image.png
    WARNING : keep files's original name/case or you'll get errors while flashing.
    • Syntax = V10A_00.kdz | characters in red will never move. Characters in skyblue are according to versions.
    • AFRATL = language/brand code | VXXX = firmware version | (...) = Provider/Country

    | The upgrade |

    image.png
    You assume the fact that flashing may result in getting errors, and even bricking the phone.

    You can use standard methods by using B2C, R&D Test Tool (to use with .kdz firmwares), or simply PC Suite. If you're going to manually downgrade with R&DTT, doing a factory reset before flashing may prevent of errors and bricks.
    NOTE : Now LG blocks manual upgrades via B2C ("upgrade start" will show LG update window instead of performing the flash process), so neither KDZU nor R&DTT will work unless you apply the following tip to fix it.

    But the fastest and safest method is to use the SmartFlash tool (also used for rooting). For this method you'll need a firmware in binary format which is in two separated files (*.fls & *.bin). You can downgrade as well if needed. The process takes only 3 min and erase all internal datas. So you'd better save all saveable things like contacts, apps etc... use your favorite way (full nand, titanium, listing...)

    Requirements : any firmware, UPK, and USB drivers. Follow related PDF guides for manually flashing.

    If for some reasons, you need a particular firmware, you could convert it in binaries yourself by using the FW Converter. Just put it in the same dir where the firmware is and run it. This tool is also able to patch FWs OTA with CWM

    Note : don't apply the patch on ICS firmwares (V3XX) since it will break the boot. Refer to "Recovery for ICS" of this tutorial below

    Reference thread by jes0411

    | The root |

    image.png
    Device's warranty won't be avoided ! Read this !

    Method 1 - FW V10A / B

    1. Download the latest GingerBreak
    2. Allowed non Market Place apps (settings > apps > unknown sources)
    3. USB debugging ON (settings > apps > dev > USB debugging)
    4. A SDC must be present and mounted
    5. Launch Polaris Office to explore your SDC, then touch the apk file
      • in the case you don't have a file explorer, install ES File Explorer or Solid Explorer (Apps)
    6. Phone will reboot on sucess. Cool, it's rooted ! (now you can uninstall GingerBreak)
    Loading can take several minutes. If after 10 minutes at most nothing happens, GingerBreak doesn't work for you....

    Method 2 - Froyo (V1XX)

    1. Enable USB Debugging (settings > apps > development)
    2. Plug the phone, launch BlackJack and follow instructions
      • Allow 127.0.0.1 connection if prompted by AVs / Firewalls. Read BlackJack's intro for more details.

    Froyo alternative root method with Smartflash :
    • Follow steps as described in method 3 below, but with these patched binaries V10E (EU) instead

    Method 3 - Gingerbread (V2XX)

    image.png
    Caution, this method is a full flash ! EVERYTHING on the internal memoy will be lost !

    1. Copy Superuser+.zip in your SDC
    2. Follow the PDF guide procedure (UPK)
    3. Phone will reboot into Recovery, do a wipe / reset
    4. Now select "install zip from sdcard" > "choose zip from sdcard" and select Superuser+.zip (will push AnReboot + ES Explorer)
    5. Go back on main menu and validate on "reboot system now". System is now permanently rooted.

    Method 4 : ICS (V30X)

    image.png
    Caution, this method is a full flash ! EVERYTHING on the internal memoy will be lost !

    1. Flash your device (the PDF guide in UPK may help noobs) | Ignore this step if you have already updated your phone to ICS, so you won't lose any data !
    2. Unplug it (this is important) and boot normally (don't put your sdc yet so overall process will be shorter)
    3. Do a factory reset (settings > backup & reset) | Ignore this step if your system is already running ICS
    4. Ensure of LG software connexion type is selected (settings > PC connexion > USB connexion type)
    5. Enable USB debugging before pluging the phone (settings > developer options), then plug
    6. Install UnlockRoot, run it and follow instructions
    For getting a working custom recovery, refer to the tutorial "Recovery for ICS" below

    | Unlocking the bootloader |

    This must be done through ICS 4.0.4 and is only needed if you want to flash a custom recovery like CWM or TWRP. You have to root first before attempting. See below the "Recovery for ICS" tut.

    | The Recovery |

    image.png
    You assume all facts by doing that

    • Ensure of : installed USB Drivers / rooted system / USB debugging ON (settings > apps > dev)
    1. Plug phone, wait for installation complete (first time plug), launch "CWMT", "CWMT6" or "TWRP"
    2. Grant root access if prompted by SuperUser (phone)
    3. Use AnReboot (or else) to boot into recovery
      • If you try booting into recovery without a custom recovery flashed, phone will perform a factory reset by default !
    To load into recovery (or DownloadMod etc..), you have to use an app since LG P970 doesn't have a key combination for it. AnreBoot is perfect (included in Apps). But, if you apply a modded kernel, it becomes possible to go into CWM while the initial boot process.
    Two other apps : ROM Manager, Quick Boot.

    | Recovery for ICS |

    The following tutorial will help you getting a working custom recovery for stock ICS firmwares. This is an U-Boot flasher package, based on the work of payback from 4pda.ru. Thanks to jockjoint for the share.

    image.png
    You assume all facts by doing that

    • Ensure of : installed USB Drivers / rooted system / USB debugging ON
    1. Follow the 4th root method for ICS if needed
    2. Unlock the bootloader with the Bootloader Unlocker tool
    3. Flash your favorite custom recovery, CWM or TWRP.
    Don't forget to install an app like AnReboot to reboot into recovery. If you use one of my recovery flasher packages, check AnReboot in the task list.

    | ROMs / Mods / Tools |

    • (Discovery) Remove battery, hold power buton, plug USB cable and wait until LG logo appears. Yeah ! The phone boots and you can use it with an infinite supply without killing battery's life !! But the phone seems having to be in airplane mod, otherwise it will shut down and display the battery missing message.
      > It also works with my GT540, holding the call key. This could work on any LG androphone.

    Also, following your given url, there is a link which points to a list of firmwares here. This is just a copy of the first edit of my thread lol. It seems that I was the first to publish those links. If some of you speak german, you can discuss here.
