Have been reading any and all Rooting Posts and I have come to the conclusion that as of now, Most, if not all of the Rooting techniques are a shot in the dark.
If there is one good way that is reliable and doesn't screw up one thing or another than I have not seen it.
Example......Superoneclick....works on one phone but not the next....Roms....need more fixes to get to work than Microsoft.....
Tell me is there a proven way to unlock the bootloader, Root the phone and get Gingerbread to work fully ?
I may be new to this site and believe me I would love to have a open phone....But I have other things to do than F around trying to get a already KickAss phone to work.....Just saying....

There are lots of tutorials in the Development forum on how to do this.
I CAN ASSURE YOU THAT preinstall method is the one IS SAFE and FUNCTIONAL

you need to do more reading, no one uses superoneclick for the atrix... http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1165791
Read the stickies..
Have you ever opened the android dev section?
Almost everything is in the sticky thread of clown.. With faqs guides etc..
Unlock your bootloader depending what atrix you have(att or international), then install the tenfars port of CWM4, and then you can root using the CWM root method..

To build on your Microsoft comment...............Some software is not compatible with all versions of Windows. The Atrix came out with Windows 95, has made it to XP, and with GB will be Windows 7. If you are not happy with the devs work, what they have done for everyone, and can't filter through the threads to get what you want, maybe you should get an iPhone and stick Cydia on it!......Or get a Windows phone because you won't have to "fix" anything on it!
If you want help, then you have started out the wrong way. Your post needs to be objective, and not flaming all the work others have done because you can't implement any of it, and are confused.
Root, ROM's, etc., do not need a bunch of fixes............you just have to READ so you know which ones work together for what you want. If you had actually taken the time, you would know that the bootloader has been unlocked, root is working, and GB is awesome. You just have to check the instructions for what you want on your Atrix, whether it be AT&T, Orange, Bell, etc.
Personally, I am on an AT&T Atrix 4G with unlocked bootloader, rooted, with GB 4.5.91, and have absolutely no complaints ot problems!
Since you don't want to F around, watch that door................it's heavy and swings closed fast.........wouldn't want it to hit you between the buttocks on the way out!
Bell ATRIX, unlocked bootloader, rooted, running 2.3.4. No problems

Thanks for the post, gave me a nice lol. I lol'd.
hey everyone. I dont claim any intelligence or know how when it comes to all this hacking and modding but i do wish my droid could do things it cant do now.
i was able to follow the very simple instructions to root my phone but now that it is rooted im not sure *exactly* what benefits this grants me. What i do know, is that ill be able to use wireless tethering without verizon charging me. In trying to make this happen i came across this thread:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1358568
(i cant post there being new)
what i want to know is, where can i get Cyanogenmod for my phone? D3 isnt even listed on their site as being a supported device.
and where can i find the required files to preform the radio hack?
lastly and hopefully the easiest question i have is what other benefits does rooting my phone provide me?
id love to be learned a thing or two but please dont kill me for the overly long post.
I bought a photon last week thats on Ntelos Frawg. so theres that... it works great, but its also rooted. i didnt do it, and dont know anything about rooting. ive been trying to look into it but its just not my thing. dont get it. sorry for being so nooby, but i didnt ask for it lol. anyway, how can i see whats already been done to it, and how can i know what could b done to it? the guy who sold it to me can do stuff to it. but i gotta know what i want him to do. please! any help will be appreciated.
Theres a free app in the market called "root checker" or something along those lines, its an easy way to check if you have root. You can tell if the bootloader is unlocked by looking at the top left corner of your screen when it is first booting, if it says "unlocked" then your bootloader is unlocked. It will show it while at the Moto dual core screen. I'd personally read up on rooting, unlocking, and all that goodstuff so you know what you have/can do. But basically root allows you to install apps that unleash androids true potential that you cant use without having root access, like free wifi tether, etc. Unlocking your bootloader allows you to install a new recovery(ClockworkMod usually) which then allows you to flash new ROMS and Kernels. I wont go into much depth there but it basically allows you to customize your phone how YOU want it to be, via Roms, Kernels, Themes, and all that. Currently with our Photon though you will lose Sprint 4g(Wimax) by unlocking the bootloader so if its important to you than you may not want to unlock the bootloader. Theres plenty of threads on XDA and other sites too that have loads on info on CWM, ROMS, Root, and everything. QBKing77 has a bunch of SUPER great Youtube videos for us Photon owners(and other phones) so be sure to look for those! If you have any more questions or anything feel free to PM me or post on the forums!

@shabby i actually have your kernel and im totally satisfied, the only thing i really want right now is the slide to wake feature. Does it support it? And if not, im having a hard time finding one that does without losing stuff i do need. I guess it might only be for the evo right now?
Well i think anyway lol.

Cant speak for him, but im pretty sure whoever made the slide to wake feature hasnt released the source code yet, and without that the devs cant really do much but wait. Here is a link to the thread where people were discussing it for the Photon, im sure if/when we get it that this thread will be updated or a comment posted.
Noob here! I'm getting ready to try my hand at rooting and unlocking the bootloader on the LG P769 that my friend gave me. I'm somewhat tech savvy, but some of the rooting and unlocking guides are a bit confusing to me. Not too confusing to turn me away though. At any rate, I'm looking for a good ROM to use with my P769 before I root and unlock. From what I've researched so far, the P769 isn't as easy as most other phones. Especially, seeing as mine is running v20H even after a hard reset of the phone. All I've heard so far about rooting and unlocking P76920H is "Damn you LG!" There is one thread I keep coming across (and losing track of because I forget to bookmark it ) with lots of colorful lettering that looks promising to me. Maybe because I'm a noob, maybe because I like colorful shiny things... Who knows, but I think I'm ready to try it if I can find it again.
Back to the subject at hand, I'm wondering if anyone has any recommendations on a ROM for my LG P769 US T-Mobile once I get around to rooting and unlocking it. I'd love to be able to just use the v20H firmware with app2sd enabled. Wondering also if any type of Nexus software, preferably 4.4.2? would run on it? I'm sure I'll receive some "Stupid Noob!!" comments, but I'll accept them with gratitude, as I am new to this and studying the ins and outs of how all this rooting and unlocking stuff works. Any recommendations would be greatly appreciated. I've done a little research on official and unofficial ROMs for the P769, but everyone with this phone seems to feel forgotten because there are lots of mods for the other P9 models and the P769 is like an unhatched goose egg. I love the phone, just want to get rid of all the bloatware and enable app2sd support. Perhaps rooting, toying with SuperUser and flashing the app2sd enabling scripts would be my best route? hehe... help! please?
Thanks for reading. Hope I'm posting in the right spot. They said Android questions big and small.
Recommendations on LG P769 ROMs anyone?

Re-root with IOROOT after reset (STUMP, IOROOT, BUMP, TRWP)
Not a question, just a thanks.
Rooted with STUMP initially just fine. Then had to factory reset due to a malfunctioning app.
Stump does not (yet) support re-root after reset unless you flash back to stock.
Thanks for all the helpful posts in several threads. I Rooted using IOROOT, using ADB no problem. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2776198
Now running BUMP TRWP recovery too. http://forum.xda-developers.com/ver...pment/bump-unlock-lg-g3-twrp-verizon-t2900590

New to this - hopefully this is the right thread
I am the noobest noob around when it comes to android based phones (hoping to climb the mountain of knowledge to start developing during this winter if I have the time!).
The first thing I want to say is a clear "thank you" to those of you who are sharing knowledge - all searches "root my G3" led here to this site and it appears that there are some very talented people here - I am here to learn, experiment and share... Right now I am very much in the learning mode with regards to these topics.
So...I just got this LG G3 (Verizon)/VS985. I've had it for 3 days and I am really not a fan of all this bloatware they put on it. I just want it off.
Apparently, removing all these Amazon, football, etc. apps can only be done by rooting the phone.
Now here are the questions:
1. There seem to be many ways now (at least 3, maybe 4) to root these phones. Which is the best? Does it matter?
1(a). Someone mentioned that "they" (not sure if its verizon or LG) might discover the "exploit" that (I assumed) was used to root their phones and then change it - would this affect any phones that have been rooted previously or just phones that would be rooted using that specific exploit?
2. Assuming I am able to successfully root this phone, at that time can I remove the apps I do not want on the phone with the current apps or do I need new apps to accomplish this?
3. Will most play store apps work properly on rooted phones?
4. I do not understand nearly any technical jargon with these unit as of yet. I see people are maybe changing the bios (?) of the unit and software of the unit? Is this correct? If so, where does one obtain different bios or software?
5. This may sound petty, but I dislike the circular shape of "folders" when you combine apps together on this phone - and I wondered - is there a way to change this style to a traditional rectangular file folder or make other cosmetic changes to this phone so it is completely customized? For example, what if I want a small element that shows the weather using the national weather service website instead of what was built in? Do I have to figure out how to produce that or are there already such things out there?
6. I continually note the warnings that are stated when websites give links to root phones - are the risks overplayed or are there really some issues with this (other than "voiding the warranty")?
7. Once I root my phone, can I remove the bloatware and then go on using the phone and useful apps essentially as it was previously?
8. This is a bit off topic, but assuming I have some basic computing and electronic skills, is it possible to learn enough about the foundations of how these units work at the code level and produce an "app" that does specific tasks of which current apps do not within a few months perhaps?
8(a). Any recommendations of literature or other learning tools out there to support this quest?
That's it for now - again thanks very much for those who are sharing knowledge and workarounds on this forum!

You're in the same ballpark as me! I just bought my Lg G3 from Verizon yesterday as well, however I'm going to wait a little while to root it. I'm running Nova Launcher and just made all of those apps hidden. But let me answer some of your questions from my past root experience!
1. As for ROMS, I would stick to the Verizon section for now, but that's just me. You can try the other 'variants,' but that's up to you if you want to get your feet wet over there. It won't ruin your phone, just some of the things won't work (probably, I don't know). Looks like Jasmine is your best bet so far, and there's another one MIUI that is pretty popular, but that's your selection as of right now and people seem to be enjoying them the best!
2. Absolutely . If you can't delete them manually, you can download Titanium Backup (what I use) to delete those horrible Verizon apps and Amazon, etc. Now, these will be deleted from your phone for good until you unroot your phone and reflash the official, orginal firmware provided here on xda.
3. All Play Store apps should work. Well...MOST should work. I've been rooting for over 2 years and I've never had an app say, "nope! too bad, so sad." So you should be good Download away.
4. These are new concepts for me too...I would just do some homework. Like every flasher out there would say, "Read read read! Oh. And READ BEFORE ROOTING!"
5. I would assume this is just based on the Launcher that you're using. You can use the stock software which is pretty nice, actually, but I prefer Nova launcher in my personal liking. There's also GEL that is pretty and fluent. In the settings of these apps, you can (usually) change the folder icons.
6. If you have a warrenty, yes, it's "Voided," unless you unroot . Make sure you read up on that, but there is nothing wrong with it. I've had Verizon reps actually tell me that what I did was a good thing, haha. But if you plan on returning the phone, make sure you unroot it and discard of any "suspicions!" Again, just do your reading about root/unroot and you should be solid. :good:
7. Yes.
8. Just read the general LG g3 forums of rooting, unrooting, bumping (this is new), and read what others are saying about the ROM to see what kind of issues there may or may not be with it. And have fun! Also, once you get the hang of rooting, it will be easy as pie. If it's something new, there's a ton of information out there already with our phone where you can fix it! There's a unbrick solution on here, too, just not sure where in the threads.
Side note - If you have any questions or problems, it's just a simple question in the Questions thread and you have a few thousand people here ready to help you! HAPPY FLASHING!
