Hi, I have tried rooting about 20 times (not even kidding), and almost every time it gets stuck on step #7. I have installed drivers from LG and have phone in debugging mode. (I tried doomlord, but it won't recognize my Nitro) Does anyone have any advice to help me root my Nitro?

*Mods, feel free to move this to the rooting section, it just wouldn't let me post in there*

Use SuperOneClick v.2.3.2 and not 2.3.3. The latest version don't want to root our Nitro. I can't understand why, but 2.3.2 version root very well.

What worked for me was installing the Android SDK package.

I was hanging at step #7 as well and after installing the package it went through.

problems rooting too!

So this being my first post and all please dont freak. I searched as best I could to find the proper thread to ask this and this seemed like the best option. So here it goes.

I myself tried rooting my phone with Superoneclick and after numerous attempts I failed miserably. So I tried Doomlord's rooting method. I thought I had figured it out because at the end it said "OK!" and it even rebooted my phone but when I tried to DL Titanium backup and busybox it said it could not gain root access. My question is, first would it be safe to attempt the root process again, or if not any ideas on what I might have done wrong and maybe a solution to fix it?

Thanks again

P.S dear Mod if this was the inappropriate place to post this I apologize in advance.

i would download the superuser app and see if tibu finds root

also, there should be no prob running the rooting app again if you choose to, if you are rooted already it should return a *already rooted* message.

So I tried dl superuser and that did nothing. I even did a master reset maybe thinking that I might of changed a setting I want suppose to, and even that didn't work. Like I said I can't get SOC past step 7 and I've tried all the tips I read on here to get past that problem but nothing. Doomlords looks like it worked and it reboots my phone but still nothing. I would really truly appreciate any help!

thanks again

I can't get my photo to upload

I cant get my screen shot to upload. I've tried everything. Anyhow, I still can't get my phone rooted. When I rooted my Aria, I used a program on my MAC that rooted it in about 20 seconds. Whatever happened to that?

Apples and oranges. The two programs used to install custom recovery on the Aria utilize exploits in the HBOOT, which is something only HTC devices have.

What software version do you have on your device? (Look in Settings > About Phone > Software version)

I'm having the same situation. Everything I've read says that if you did the security update without root already then you can't root now. I would love for some one to prove me wrong and show me a way. IM running 2.3.5 v10j with kernel 2.6.35.11.

Thanks

I had the above problem with not being able to root my phone due to the software version i had. I had to use the "unbricking guide" and after some challenges i was able to restore the phone to stock with root. It is risky, but at this moment im not sure theres any other way to do it, unless someone with programming skills can find an alternate method to go back to a previous version of the software without resetting or unbricking the entire phone.

    Did you use the latest SuperOneClick 2.3.3 for rooting your device? I can confirm it works with LG LU6200...

    If this isn't working for you, this should:

    (its working in ADB mode, make sure your device is in USB debugging mode and connected to your PC)

    Good luck!

    @thedicarlos,

    I'm afraid the CyanogenMod people (Ricardo) probably aren't too concerned about the lack of rooting options for our phone at this stage of the game because it's still actually possible if you know what you're doing. I know it's a barrier to adoption for CyanogenMod on this phone, but I don't know if the CM folks, specifically Ricardo, are usually involved in developing rooting tools.

    Well I was having trouble rooting my phone as well. Make sure that all the lg drivers are installed on your pc. On my laptop, I installed them and everytime I would plug in my phone, the windows install driver window would open up and sometimes it would not install all the updates even though I had installed them. So I used my dad's pc, installed all the drivers and used superoneclick 2.3.2 and it worked on the first try. Good Luck!!!
