I walked my friend through obtaining S-OFF and Root on his EVO 3D earlier and decided to record it. It is rather long because I went through all of the steps, including installing the Android SDK. I figured I would share this with everyone since it might help someone with the process.

One Question: You first instruct to download the Android SDK zip file - what was the purpose of that ? I dont think it was mentioned in the root process after downloading it..
Thanks again.

I advised him to install the Android SDK because I thought that the ClockWorkMod recovery process was going to fail, as it did when I used it. We would have needed the Fastboot command from the SDK to push the TeamWin Recovery.
I updated the original post with a newer video for the TeamWin Recovery Installation instructions. It should make it a bit simpler since it doesn't require any fastboot commands.

Hey guys, I'm not so new around here, I have trolled for a bit, not stealing stories, just reading and learning. I know that you cannot at present time go to root from leak, that you can't roll back from leak to 1.5. Or make the phone turn into a motodroid. My question is this. I just got a new Eris today, my last one, which was leaked, seemed to have usb port problems in the last few hours, so I am at 1.5 again, I am going to root this time, now.... should I download the 2.1 OTA update that VZW is offering me right now and then root, or root right off the bat?
OTA has the same features as leak v3. just root and get an awesome Rom.

ROOT!! You can download the latest radio from the OTA from this forum and flash it. There is no benefit from doing the OTA first.
I'm trying to use EMA and it isn't working, Windows 7. When it comes to restarting the phone it isn't finding pb000img.zip

well for the ema, for support go to my thread, or hop in our irc server. info at bottom of signature.
but for the app, the phone never needs to be out of charge only mode. make sure the .exe and the ema_files folder are at the root of your c:\ drive

Not those might be something else. Has any one tried a full wipe and.install?
I did a superwipe and then had the sideload error7 on any and everthing that i tried to flash. I ended up running the stock rom through the bootloader to fix issue then re rooted the phone.

In the first post there is a link to Brief Mobile's Beginner's Guide. It is very similar to what you used but apparently the .sbf is different.
Once you have an unlocked bootlader you can take care of both the rooting and the webtop over HDMI hack with a custom ROM. I'm using Alien Build #4 (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1186537) and is working great. Some people report problems with the Alien theme, but you can use the ROM without the theme and still get the root and webtop hack along with some other goodies.
You will first need to install CWM. You can use this:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1204500
Then just boot into recovery and install the Alien zip.
Any problems you have are probably already solved in the Alien thread.

Read through the PUDDING (the first one I suggested) and the Alien ROM threads.. They're long but you'll probably find a solution there..
Also post what you're doing step by step and exactly when are you getting which error. You must be missing some step or doing something wrong because the whole process should be really easy, specially with an AT&T phone.
Howdy y'all!
So, special thanks to user "sextape" for providing this, I'm just mirroring it just incase LG decides to change the link, or lock us out.
This is the Stock Shipping Firmware, LGE970AT-00-V10o-ATT-US-SEP-29-2012+0
You need the DLL files, and LGNPST 2.2.3 to flash this. If you need that, hop on the IRC channel ( #lg-optimus-g ) and ask for it.
http://downloads.codefi.re/thecubed/lgoptimusg/att/firmware
I will post the latest firmwares as they are available to this link.
EDIT: Heh, well, it looks like LG took down the firmware from their CSMG server. Get it while it's hot!
EDIT2: Whoops, my server's got a problem with the plus sign in the download link.. Give me a few while I get that sorted...
EDIT3: Alright, that's fixed. Sorry about that...
well now we can have some cooks go in and start tweaking and debloating this firmware so we can upload it to our devices... next best thing besides a fresh ROM

Why do I have the feeling I'll be losing a lot of money to you?!?! You're everywhere man! Thanks for the help and support. I'm going to try and learn how to debloat and so forth, now that this phone is looking promising. I always just grabbed other people's roms, but this should be fun with the S4 Pro!!
Ok so I have a 'tester' Optimus G for AT&T. It was given to us about 1 month ago to test certain Software on. So I wanted to try and get the 'official' firmware/build/etc. over to the test unit, to make it as identical to the released version as possible. The hardware is most likely identical.
The test unit though has the same Android version, Baseband version, Kernel version, Build number (IMM76L), the only difference is the Software version. The test unit is E97009j but the official unit is E97010o. The LGMobile Support tool reports the test unit as model LGE970 Version E97009J and the official unit as Model LGE970 Version E97010O
LGMobile support tool doesn't report any updates available for either unit. So any idea what SW version entails? Any idea on how to get the test unit in sync with the official release? I was trying the official LG route but that doesn't work. I don't think AT&T has released any official images for this phone. I was thinking of a nandroid backup using CWM but the CWM in this forum (only 2 posts in Rom development??) doesn't have any instructions for installing it and it's only temporary. I was thinking of flashing this Stock ATT Firmware posted here but it requires me to go to IRC and ask for some files but when I did nobody answered. I'm coming from the HTC and Samsung world. In Samsung's world I'd just use Odin to flash a stock image which includes modem, bootloader, recovery, etc. the whole package. But not sure about LG's world. Maybe I should just root both units and go in there and dd the relevant partitions from the stock unit to an image file and then restore those images to the same partitions on the test unit. But which partition numbers are "relevant"?

You don't to "use" it, just log in to the #lg-optimus-g channel (login just requires a screen name, channel and enter reCAPTCHA, but no SW install or requesting an account). Then wait 5-10 min and someone will ask for the files, which will be followed by a posting of the link.

Actually it looks like this kernel did support custom boot animations out of the box. If you want to test, go to system/media and copy your stock boot animation. Then push a custom one and set permissions rw-r-r and reboot. I just needed a kernel that was stock with init.d and adb remount so I can make changes like deodexing and customizing apps then reodexing and pushing back apks

I've already created my custom boot Ani, thanks! I put it in the themes section for anyone who wants it. Works like a charm. My only gripe is that i can't use my boot animation installer because it says that's a read only file (system /media) Didn't have that issue with my other phone. Could that be caused by the kernel?

What steps are required and in what order.
i.e.
1. Unlock bootloader (which is current best method?)
2. Root (which is current best method?)
3. Install OTA update (new verizon one that just came out this week)
4. Install ViperRom
I am in Australia on Telstra network if that matters?
Thanks in advance for any help/suggestions.
Cant wait to try out the DNA, I have always loved the look of this phone since I first saw it :fingers-crossed:

From what i understand, you have to install a new rom just to get root access.

No you don't have to. All you need to do is unlock the bootloader install a custom recovery and then flash the superuserbusybox zip and that's how you get root access

Thanks again to all those that responded. Flashed Viper with no troubles and I'm playing with it now.

It took me a little bit to get my "sea legs" as it were, but it really was a pretty smooth process overall. And Viper is ridonkulous. The customization is crazy.
Good luck.
Flashing the ROM right away will give you root access, but if you want to play around with the stock rooted rom for a bit, you can just flash the superuser zip in recovery: http://androidsu.com/superuser/
Oops, didn't realize there was a second page and someone already posted the answer lol. Sorry.
