Yes, it DOES work. The bootloader and root methods you provided are the one I JUST used. They are working fine...

true but you weren't asking for help. So, please say where you are getting errors. I'd be happy to help out..
this one you posted is the one i followed. I skipped Step 2 (recovery) for a more up to date one..
Edit: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1202883
The bootloader and root process in this guide worked perfect. Whats steps in that guide were you having trouble with?
It will be great if you can put a screenshot of the error.

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.

I just got my thunderbolt one week ago... when booted, it got the newest OTA that just came out last weekend. I was able to successfully root using the sticky thread at the top of this forum. Just follow the instructions verbatim and check ur checksums.
It took literally less than 20 minutes... ok, maybe 30 with a few minutes of pre-reading, and some staging of stuff.
Seriously. Just follow that sticky's instructions to a "T".
Previous known, stickied methods should still work fine for the most recent OTA...just not the next OTA since it'll be GB.

ya.. i get no permissions error.
I had previously installed the newest unrooted OTA last week. I was a bit worried about rooting with the posted method, but last night I took the jump and did it. Worked flawless for me. I rooted installed the downgrade, backed up with rom manager, then installed the rooted 1.70.605.0 OTA and it has been working great for me. I was completely new to the rooting process and I followed both the youtube video from nat3mil and the version 2.5 from android police.
I just finished successfully rooting my phone with the instructions posted here on XDA. I had downloaded the lasted OTA update. No problems, now on my way to nightlies of some sort I'm sure!
Can someone point me to complete stock ics rooted Rom for t mobile. Not a leaked one, but the actual one. Unless leaked is same one. All the searching, and I'm getting a bit confused on them. Thanks in advance. One that I can flash through recovery on unlocked,rooted, s off t mobile amaze.

There's one available right around here, use the search button dude, it's pretty easy if you search the most obvious place for anything pertaining to this device.
Well, like I said in op, I've searched and found ones that say must be s on or relock. Also found the ones to do from fastboot .
Like I said, don't find stock rooted that I can flash through recovery. As stated in op already have done what above post says.
Sorry ii asked such an easy question. That a simple search didn't answer.

After you flash the ota zip you will need to flash the boot.img file inside it manually if you're not s-off, use hasoons tool to flash it, its the kernel required for wifi to work.
Just remembered you use cwm recovery, you have to flash the kernel file manually since only 4ext recovery supports kernel flashing.

Yes, i am s-off. I was on energy rom. Flashed the stock rooted zip from link you posted above. I wiped everything before flash. Wifi shows networks shows trying to connect but keeps going through that. Will NEVER connect. I tried the process form post 4 in energy rom and still wont connect. If i restore the back up of energy, wifi works
Ok, just did the manual flash and still no wifi. I see i mis typed above, the OTA zip works, everything except wifi
You're the first and only person that used that zip and complained of that issue, my only piece of advice for you would be to use the PH85IMG stock img in the stock ruu thread and restore, then re-root your device, best of luck.

I just performed this on my Atrix 4G that was running 2.3.6 Stock exactly 7 days ago. It was the first time I had ever done anything to my phone since the last AT&T update. I had root before the update, but it was taken away when I applied the update. Since Motorola doesn't want to do a major update for my phone (Boo to them!), I decided to try flashing CM7 Olympus, and now I wish I had done it sooner!
I didn't check the links above, but I followed these instructions to the letter: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1302423
The process made me nervous, but it worked perfectly!
EDIT: Those are the closest instructions I could find to the original ones I had. I found the ones I actually used on Atrix Forums' website. The article is called "[TUT]Unlocking Bootloader and Installing Custom ROMs" (I'm too new to link to an external site due to forum regulations.)
Unlocked same version from ATT
I had to flash 4.1.83 sbf. The regular unlock process. But be careful as it could brick your phone. I experimented and luck was on my side.
Thanks,

Followed those instructions as well. I feel like I am very close to having my phone back to where it needs to be for me to consider the mission a success I am only experiencing an issue adding Google accounts and getting into the android Market. I did a titanium backup restore and got all of my apps back and restored system settings, but Gmail crashes every time I try to open it and the Market opens a white window then goes away without any warning or error info.
I haven't flashed a custom rom so I am still in the stock Gingerbread ROM.
Trying to add a Google account gives me the message "Can't Establish a reliable connection..." If I followed this guide, am I fine to do a hard reset, as that is the only solution I have found online to the Can't Establish connection error?
Original Post Deleted: Oops moment
If your intentions were to flash a custom rom, I would perform a nandroid backup and then flash away following the instructions you've been using.
If you unlocked the bootloader, your phone was probably returned to stock just like performing a hard reset. Google Play (or Market) usually needs a very good connection to run its first update, so if you're not on wifi, connect to that first. If you still have that problem, try clearing the data for that app (from the home screen > Menu > Manage Applications > "Market" > Clear Data)
If you were trying to flash a fruitcake (to return it to stock after flashing a custom ROM), still try clearing the app data and, if that doesn't work, try flashing the fruitcake again.
Lucky for me I have the only version of the Note 2 with a locked Bootloader from "BigRed". i came here to ask for assistance because I want to use my device to its full potential but I definately do not want to brick my device or harm it in anyway.
What I am confused about is the whole process of unlocking the boot loader and rooting. I have read extensively on how to do both but I don't know what process I need to do first. Do I root first and then unlock the boot loader?? Or Vice Versa??
I am also skeptical about some of the Boot loader Unlock methods I see floating around online. I have read up on a couple different ways to do it but when reading the comments under the tutorial article it seems there are alot of unhappy Note 2 owners that were not successful with the methods What I am asking here is if someone can point me to the CORRECT way to unlock the boot loader with the most up to date information regarding the latest update Verizon has put out. If I can be pointed to a good article on the correct way to root the device that would be even better.
I obviously know there is no "fail safe" way of going about doing this and completely understand all the risks. I just want to minimize those risks. Especially on a $600+ device!
Thank you for any help that is offered!!
A little tip for you. I've found is best to just stick strictly to xda for guides like this. Most those random guides steal the work of the hard working devs here. I've seen a lot of bricks of people just following one if them.
Here is the only way to unlock. It's easier then it looks.

^ what he said :good:
i used that method literally 2 days ago. it's really simple. just click and follow instructions. just follow the guide and you can even watch the youtube video of someone doing it before you do. once you have the bootloader unlocked and twrp flashed (one you finish the guide you will have twrp installed) you can hold the power volume up and home button while the device is off to boot into recovery (twrp). from there before you do anything i would recommend flashing the latest twrp and then you can go ahead and flash whatever roms you want. probably gunna want to stick with clean rom. it's basically stock rom with all the scum removed and a lot of root tools added.
Can I piggyback here?
My similar question is that when I got my phone 2 weeks ago the Verizon salesperson did THE UPDATE when he setup my phone. My system says I have 4.1.1 but otherwise I have not done a thing to it. Do you need to know the kernal version?... Which steps do I use to unlock and root to Cleanmod? Thanks.

use the method linked above! It works for both firmware versions that are currently available.
also very easy given that you follow the instructions
As others have said, follow the directions. Go slowly, measure twice and cut once. Then you can start feeding the ROM flashing addiction.
Hey guys. I am not from around here. You will normally find me hanging out in the Nexus forums. I need some help trying to correct an issue my noob buddy caused on his E970. He brought it to me today in a boot loop and apparently he rooted it an uninstalled some GAPPS and now he has this security error and BL. Now, so far I have managed to install the drivers..... that's it. I have worked on a variety of different devices but I am really having trouble with this. I think the issue is I can not find a thread that is comprehensive enough to explain what alot of the different tools are and what they do. I mean there is
1. LGNPST
2. Teenybin
3. Freegee or something like that
Then there about 14 different file types depending on the tool you are using. I have seen;
1. dll
2. bin
3. kdz
4. tot
I have to be honest with you guys this is confusing as hell. I keep coming across dead links and old downloads and stuff that may not work. I REALLY don't like using stuff not linked from XDA as that is all I've known for many years (not to say other sites aren't reputable but you never know) I can follow instructions and figure out most stuff on my own but due to the in completion of alot of this stuff and dead links I am kinda stuck I am gonna give it another go tomorrow but in the meantime if someone wants to drop me a link or word of advice as to where to at least start it would be awesome. I am pretty handy generally with this kind of thing but I guess that goes to show you sometimes you are only as good as the tools and directions you are working with. Thanks XDA Community! :good:
Okay the first three.
3.lgnpst is the program you will need to use to fix the security error which was caused by removing bloat without unlocking bootloader.
2.teenybin is used with lgnpst to unlock bootloader, update partitions to jb, and install recovery. It doesn't install firmware but could be used to restore if a rom was copied to sd to flash.
3.freegee is used to unlock bootloader and install recovery on a working phone.
Next four.
1.dll are files needed by windows.
2.bin is the extension the file needs to be for using lgnpst.
3.kdz is stock firmware for use with lgflashtool (used mainly for international phones)
4.tot is the extension the stock firmware is released with which will be renamed to bin before using lgnpst.
In the additional info section of teenbin thread there is a click to show content button that will have have links and guide for lgnpst. Use the tSilenzio version and it will register the DLL files on install.

Thank you. This is exactly what I needed. Someone just to say "these are what these things are and what they do". I do have to admit I don't fault my buddy too much for soft bricking this thing as of all the devices I've rooted or flashed to this seems the most confusing. And also it's very odd that if you remove BW without first unlocking the bootloader you get this error..... Why can't they all just be as easy as a Nexus? Lol.

3.be sure to right click lgnpst exe and run as admin
I got my OG right after release but had already been following forum, and would hate to have to jump in now and try to figure things out.

Well its especially difficult when someone just brings you a phone and you've never even seen it booted up and you don't know all the weird quirky rules it has (like if you uninstall GAPPS without unlocking the bootloader then you get a bootloop.) lol Otherwise it seems like a solid phone. It has almost the same specs as my Nexus 4.

This link is for a flashable zip of rooted stock jb. If you used the teenybin files with lgnpst then flashed it with recovery the end result would be stock rom with unlocked bootloader, root, and custom recovery.

Real quick.... So once I've got everything back to stock and get the boot loader unlocked.. Will I then be able to modify system stuff, uninstall bloat etc and avoid that evil security error boot loop?

Yes, once you're unlocked & rooted you will be good to go. I would recommend flashing an established rom and installing the GApps that are recommended. It would be a lot more convenient and less of a hassle.
Make sure you are using TWRP, CWM was causing bugs with flashing of some roms. Hope this helps.

Awesome and once I've flashed a good rom. Would that then circumvent any future boatloads caused by modifications etc.? So in other words are those proprietary (catches) cooked out when the devs set up a rom? I would imagine so. I know most of us folks hate that kinda thing... Lol
BTW any tips on a good solid stable Jelly Bean Rom? Would want it to be pretty stable since it's not my phone... Lol

Hey thanks again everyone! Got the phone fixed. A stock AT&T 4.1.2 Rom on there and root privileges intact. Everything is good to go. I actually kinda like the phone a lot.... I really want an LG G2..... Oooh yeah... Thanks again everyone and maybe some one will find the instructions in this thread helpful.
