Hello guys, since all of the tutorials I have seen on here are all complicated I decided to post the easiest method around. You don't even need to use any command prompt for this. The only problem is that this is chinese language, so you have to click the exact buttons.
1. Download this file: Link <--- HELP ME! OR http://goo.gl/U6Jwaf <--- Non ref
2. Install the software, using the installation buttons as you would on any other windows installation.
3. When you have installed it, you will see a green button, press it. Then connect your phone (JellyBean update would be best, i havent tried with ICS)
4. When the phone is connected the software will recognise the phone and the green button will show "ROOT", click on it.
5. The phone is going to be rooted in some seconds and the process is finished when it will show a tick on the software.
6. The phone will reboot.
7. When it is rebooted, go to google play and download super su.
8. Open super su and it will ask you to update the binaries, and you must click on update, and then normal.
9. A window in chinese will pop up on the phone, this is the screen that allows you to give root permissions to any app. You must click the button on the right.
10. You are done! Root process is complete!
11. This is the most important step. Leave a thanks! If you liked the tutorial, please show it to me!
Post below if you have questions or don't understand.
Hi guys. I tried this method, it worked on my p778g with ICS (it was recognized as a p769), the only bad thing is the language, it's in chinese, but worked.
How to unroot?

To unroot you must use "[GUIDE] [UNBRICK][ROOT] FLASH Any LG Factory ROM (kdz) WITH OFFLINE FIX" Google it 'cause I can't post links.
Great! Now it works with ICS.

To get the language changed install SuperSU then use the Switch superuser app to uninstall it reboot reinstall and you wont be able to uninstall the chinese program except you WILL have SuperSU managing your root access
Is that working on p760 - v20i software?

the root method works without a problem
tried this method ,works well...and to those who are worried about the language, don't be worried....it can be changed later...thanks to the person for sharing this method :good:
Hope everyone is enjoying it. And yes, it can root EVERY LG OPTIMUS L9 that there is out there. It's also super easy!!
hOLY ****, IT WORKED! And I spent so much time with those other ridiculous programs and FAQs, geez! Thank you very much!
Confirmed. perfect on LG L9 D700
It's Working on P760 V20i
Yeah i found this method as well to be the easiest, ask if you need something!!

Seems too good to be true. Not sure about installing a Chinese language tool for one-click root when you're not really sure who the developer of the utility is and what it actually modifies besides root.
I have Wells Fargo bank app, Amazon and Play wallet on my P769. I think I'll wait a while before applying this

If you root your AT&T X10a you can use the method for the captivateto re-enable non-market apps. The location for the settings.db file is slightly different than the ccaptivate though. I created a thread about it. Search for ATT non-market.

So Debrand Is Wat I Need? And How Did U Debrand Ur x10a, And How Do I Find Out If My X10a Is "R2BA026"?
I have done both methods and rooting has worked out better for me. Better performance and better battery life. Also, as I said, you can easily re-enable non-market apps. AT&T is a newer OS build than all the others. Once you remove all the bloatware the phone is much faster.
If you really want to get the most from your phone, learning to use adb is important. If you concentrate on getting adb working, it will make all the other hacks easier to understand.

You have to use ADB from your PC to install this apk and then you can run it to root your phone. You can try Android Central Sideload Wonder Machine but a few people have been having trouble getting it to work. It works for me with my AT&T X10 just fine though. When you run this app it will allow you to select the .apk file and then install it to the phone.
AT&T has blocked all non-market app downloads but you can definitely bypass this setting. I was successfully able to install non-market app by the ADB method as Naplesbill suggested. You will have to download the android sdk and familiarize yourself with ADB. This can take some time, but well worth it!
See this handy post on how to do so:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=532719
An issue that came up for me is that the device id doesn't get recognized by your computer. I got it to work by installing the SE update service on my computer and followed the steps to update the software on the phone. This step will install a SE Flash Driver on your computer. I restarted my computer and somehow it worked.
I then followed the adb install method and got non-market apps installed without rooting it. If you want to root, you can use the adb method to install the one click root and then you are done. However, rooting you AT&T device does not automatically allow you to install non-market apps. It will still be blocked!!! You have to adjust systems.db settings in order it to change it. That's the step I'm at right now. Going to do it after work tonight.
I want to back-up some things--mainly the wife's angry birds stats. Trouble is that every post I read talks about loading things using the market after the tablet is ROMmed.
I've tried putting superuser on manually but it doesn't seem to recognize root explorer. All this after following the root instructions found here.
Angrybirds backup, superuser ... is not available in the gtab market (hadango) found on the device when stock. AppBrain doesn't seem to have any way to get the appbrain app onto the tablet.
I need advice on how to get apps on the tablet or to get superuser to recognize root explorer, or perhaps just how to get angrybirds backed up.
I use titanium backup or mybackup root!

Respectfully, what you use isn't the question really. If I can't get superuser to work with it then I'm still stuck.
So to restate here, I need a way to get these apps onto the tab before its rommed, or to make superuser to work.
honestly, I thought my wife would freak when I lost all of her angry birds saves, but she said it was "fun" to have to do it all again.
For superuser:
Install ES File Explorer from market
Use ES to install Z4root from xda
Run Z4root to root tab
Test root using Root Explorer
For backup:
Install Titanium
Perform backup of User Apps
Flash ROM
Install Titanium
Restore User Apps backups

You can trust the link. Lots of good info there.
If you are on a stock rom, you are not rooted (unless have you used something like Z4 to root it). All custom roms are already rooted for you. Anytime you nvflash back to stock you will not be rooted.

Well I remember looking for an answer to root and finding several places saying that I would have root after following those instructions. I guess I let my experience with rooting got in the way of understanding. That or nobody thought to mention that you don't need root to load a new recovery image or a ROM.

No problem. It's all a learning experience. I knew absolutely nothing about android 3 months ago. When installing signed zips (which is what you install via recovery or cwm, the install scripts set permissions to perform the installations. Nvflash, also has root access. It' only you the user that doesn't have it when android boots on the stock rom.
Android is a big learning experience. There are no manuals and the only place this all exists is either in a post somewhere or in our minds. What 'goodintentions' did by creating the dummies site was try to make it as much a one stop shop as possible for new (and old) users to get the most out of their gTabs, but, there is just so much and each rom has different nuances that it's not possible to put everything there. Especially since he alone is footing the bill to keep the site going.
You also have to remember that not everyone is an expert and we all benefit by putting our collective minds together and helping each other. What one person doesn't remember another user may & hopefully help out. Just as hopefully you can do the same to someone else with your experieces.
Anyway, didn't mean to preach...time to get off the soapbox. Hopefully you can now do what you set out to do & if you need more info, feel free to post again.

Are you saying it didn't work? I used it on my gTab & Cruz Reader without problems. It's really simple. Install, single butten press & it will reboot. Where did you download from?

I am proud to present you with: Nook Tablet Unrooter One click APP!
By Indirect
Information?: Well, the way to best unroot the nook tablet (as it's easy to see if you have done mods to it) is to do a factory system restore, so I decided why not exploit that and make it into an application? Well that's exactly what I did and best of all, it's 1 click (technically 3 but i don't count accepting SU permissions as part of the app). You need to grant SU both times it asks for it to automatically reboot.
Code:
//I take no responsibility what happens with this application or your device and assume that any problem during this process if user fault.
//
Download link?:
http://dl.dropbox.com/u/15069134/Nookunrooter.apk
Instructions?:
Install app, open, click button, grant SU permissions (twice), and let it restore. That's about it.
Warnings?:
You WILL lose ALL data on the tablet except the Sdcard. Be sure to back everything up using titanium backup.
Changelog?:
Code:
1.2: Initial release
Credits?:
Code:
Dodgejcr for his code on github so I just had to change a few things as well as his help in IRC. Thanks man
Myself for rewriting parts of the app to be a one click unroot for the nook tablet
Added the download link meaning it's live! I tested on my device and it worked flawlessly!

Thanks for this, I have it downloaded as a just in case. Seems much simpler than the 8 or 10 failed boot techniques.
Dumb question, but I am assuming this has been tested on an actual NT?

Yeah, tested it on mine last night before release.
This does indeed work although it didn't reboot my Nook Tablet automatically. After I clicked on Unroot Device, it didn't automatically reboot. I tried rebooting it myself and then it began the process of restoring to factory. When it booted back it it was indeed unrooted. Or at least I think it is.
Is there anyway to verify that is truly is unrooted?

reverse back to factory stock without a hitch. Got all my paid content back after clicking on them one by one. Good deal.
Just curious though, will registering the same device multiple times raise a red flag with BN?
I press unroot and it just sits there. It does not reboot. I manually shutdown and startup and it does not run the wipe. Any suggestions to full unroot and wipe.
Bmeyer, run adb shell then type
Code:
su
echo -n 0000 /bootdata/BootCnt
reboot
I know from bitter experience that SkyGo (UK) doesn't work on a rooted or jailbroken phone (something to do with counters) but has anyone here found a way round this? I realize that the official release for this is November, but the principle of whether rooting can be detected is the same.
Thanks
I used to temp unroot when using sky go and restore root afterwards. All this can be done without a reboot.
Use hidemyroot or voodoo ota rootkeeper to make a copy of the su binary, unroot device, uninstall superuser app, force close sky go if its running and then reopen.
I wonder if you could used the multi user function of 4.2.2 to run sky go under another user

No, that would also be to much trouble for me, I like things simple.
Just open the SuperSU app, go to settings -> Enable superuser -> uncheck the box besides it.
It disables root access.
Works like a charm for me but I don't use the Sky app, I use another app provided by my cable operator/isp which also checks for root.
Good luck.
Unfortunately it didn't work. Sky really are on the ball when it comes to securing this app.
Looks like I'll have to try the only other thing I can think to make it work, flash back to a stock image using clockwork mod.

I just recently purchased a LG Optimus Exceed 2 VS450PP1 Verizon prepaid and I would like to root it, but I'm afraid to use the wrong guide to do so.
I have already done this part: Turn on USB debugging: Settings and enabled the installation of unknown sources.
It seems that Towelroot used to work but no longer does. Can someone post a link to the correct procedure for my phone or the instructions to do so? I already read did a search for my phone and read several pages, but I'm still unsure which procedure will work for my phone.

You're welcome.
I believe the file called VS450PP1_04.kdz is a ROM image for the phone with all the original stuff that came with it. I have not use this image for anything myself, but I believe it can be used to restore the phone back to factory settings as a last resort should things go wrong. I would recommend that after rooting successfully, you install the app called Titanium Backup Pro and let it back up everything to an external usb memory card on the phone. This is probably the better and safer approach to restore something that you had removed and would like back.
You can also go to the google play store and download the latest google apps that you have deleted if so desired.
I should mention that I'm not an expert at this stuff, just a beginner, so my knowledge is limited to what I did to my phone . I only rooted my phone to be able to install apps like Titanium Backup Pro.
I hope this answered your question.
