If you run this and it doesn't root you try wiping data from Setting>privacy and wipe the internal storage as well. I did that and it worked for me. Granted I didn't try this method without wiping my internal. If nothing else it cleans it up for you.

Were do I click run.bat?
I've been Revolted!

The newest root method. I know there are several right now, but this puts it all in one place! This should take care of those with the file already exists errors.

Ok, so whatever changes you made ... it seems to work better in a virtual windows environment
Before it would get stuck at "daemon started succesfully"
now it goes through to "Installing Root Tools..."
but then I get a string of error messeages
either "device offline" or "device not found"
then "cleaning up" ... device not found
then "rebooting" ...device not found
then it freezes
when I unplug my device or toggle debugging mode it continues to say "root complete"
.... so close.

So If I'm rooted on Z4? then I still need to unroot and upgrade to Z6 for this to work?

Thanks a lot man for such this easy one-click-root tool.

Thanks mt! Worked great first time! You are the savior of the LG Revolution.
Does this mean I have to start donating 10% of my pay??

I am sure I should know this answer, but what mode do I need to set the phone in when I connect to the computer? I'm assuming mass storage mode is not going to fly.

1. Phone must be rooted and have CWM recovery installed
2. Download Rom of choice and place on internal sdcard
3. Make sure all LG drivers and software are removed from computer
4. Install LG Flash Tool
5. Install Drivers
6. Remove phones battery, sim, and sdcard
7. Hold volume + button while plugging in phone (keep holding volume + until phone is recognized)
8. When asked for location of drivers choose the correct location (this will ask twice) Should be C:\Program Files\LG Electronics\LG Android Driver
9. Right click on My Computer and select manage
10. Click on device manager
11. Click on ports and then right click on the phone port and select properties
12. Click on tab for ports settings and click on advanced
13. Change port to 41 and click ok
14. Unplug phone from computer
15. Run LG Flash tool by selecting the alternate .exe file
16. Select the appropriate .dll file and select the appropriate .fls file for the S/W, select the USB button for connection mode, click ok
17. Select the picture up top that looks like a printer cable and select port 1, click OK
18. Click on the yellow arrow up top and make sure port 1 says ready
19. While holding your volume + button, plug in your usb cable and hold volume + until port 1 shows some activity
20. Process should run until 22% and then say failed. Choose the red circle with a minus sign to exit.
21. Unplug USB from phone and insert battery, sim, and sd card.
22. Boot phone and after booted power down.
23. Boot into CWM recovery and wipe data/factory reset, wipe dalvik cache, install zip from sdcard, choose zip from internal sdcard, select Rom. Reboot system and enjoy.
Hopefully this simplifies things for those of you that are trying to get Gingerbread installed. If you need screen shots for certain parts I will try to help out.
Watch Video and follow steps above "http://youtu.be/ExwoHC5pOiQ"
To get back to stock just use the V10e .fls file and then load the stock rom from CWM recovery.
For factory stock try this http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1270832 after the baseband is restored
Files you will need to Flash Baseband from Froyo to Gingerbread and Back http://www.mediafire.com/?c2i2f4c9sz8u8z2
Froyo baseband for Brazil below. Might help users not getting signal in Canada or Latin America.

Just for the record, I'm not taking credit for anything other than just putting the information already out there into simple step by step directions that I used.

That's it? A little? That's not very encouraging. I've been waiting to see how GB improves battery life but if it's just 'a little', that's not good. I'm going to just return this damn thing.

So, everybody confirm that Thrill p925 can upgrade to 2.3.5 leak as instruction? Sorry for noob question, cuz i have just bought it one day. And in my country Vietnam, there is no way to get warranty or replacement. But i kinda want to be on 2.3.5 ^^

If your phone is rooted and has CWM recovery installed, then yes it will work.

How do I check if my phone is rooted? (I'm sorry I recently started looking into this)
Sent from my LG-P925 using XDA App

Did you use superoneclick to root it? And do you have cwm? If you do odds are your rooted! Btw I'm loving GB super fast and smooth. I'm using coh'a lite rom instead of the Acura one the only problem I have with it is that Swype keeps force closing so I had to install some other swipe keyboard from the market, but its not a bad tradeoff

How about 3g signal? My country only has 3G with 1900 mhz. Now i am very exited. Downloading has almost done ^^

i have been having trouble with step 16
can you clarify on what i have to do for the step with lg flash tools and were to find the correct files

If I update the baseband and use this method to flash an O3D GB rom and dislike it, will I be able to use a nandroid backup to go back to a useable state?
tl;dr - Will a nandroid restore reverse the baseband change?

We should use XP to flash bootloader rather than win7, shouldn't we?

Noob LG Revolution

I just got the LG revolution. I did an OTA update and have GB 2.3.4. How do I root? I downloaded the OneCLick and it said click on run.bat. But I can not find run.bat in the zip. Please help someone.

Click on root.bat. Did you get the all in one package?

Yes. I clicked on root and a box popped up. It said extract or run. whats next? I am very green with this but want to learn. Thank you for assisting.

now it says daemon started successfully with a blinking _ below it. Do I just wait? Am I doing this right?

I thought I unzipped it. I clicked on extract all

Did you go to the extracted files or did you still run the .bat inside the zip?

A picture of the output you're getting in the root.bat window would probably be helpful here. Unless the not extracting thang is the problem.

I'm not sure right now. I'm at work. Will try again tonight.

If it took, you should have superuser in your apps drawer.
You can download titanium back up if you are unsure, it needs root to run, and will ask for permission to do so.
Otherwise you can get root checker basic.
After that, if you wish to get rid of all the phone companies goodies, feel free to look in the development section, there are a couple roms. I like Gingervolt. I do believe you start with gingervolt 1.0 and then 1.1, then 1.2 then 1.3 with out removing anything from the previous builds. I know some glitches have been reported in the later versions, but MT is always around to help and we are always here to answer questions.

The procedure is almost the same, except in one you create a small text file, and the other you download TB and have it fix file issues.

[Q] Need help. Missing files from /preinstall folder. Will donate to you :)

Would anybody mind uploading a zip file of their "/preinstall" system folder from their Droid 4? I'm missing some files from in there. Specifically the video files for the "Guided Tours" stock app. I must have deleted them a while back, and now I can't install the Jelly Bean OTA update.
I went back to stock, removed Safestrap and unrooted the phone to do the update. And when I go to do it, it gives me an error because those files weren't found. They don't seem to be in the Droid 4 Dump, so I guess I'm S.O.L. unless I can get them from somebody.
If I deleted those, I probably deleted something else from in there, so could you please send me the whole directory? I'd be happy to throw you a donation. Ten bones sound fair? Many thanks in advance.

Yes and yes. Just DL the utility and fast boot ICS file. Unzip ICS file and move files to the files directory of utility. Make sure latest drivers are installed and battery is full connect phone run utility select boot into fast boot then option 11. Choosing to save files still won't let u install the update.

Went ahead and did it last night, and it worked! After using this to reset my ICS stock ROM, the OTA Jelly Bean Update installed just fine. Thanks a ton. I gotta say, this online community rocks! I love how helpful and supportive everybody is of each other.
One minor note, I had to do this on my roommate's Windows 7 computer to get it to work. I couldn't get it to work on either my laptop or desktop, both of which have Windows 8. The phone drivers wouldn't install. Strange; I downloaded the USB drivers from Motorola, and they appeared to install, but when I plugged my phone into the computer, and went to use the Utility, it kept giving me a "Device not found" error. And also, when I checked in "Device Manager," it showed my phone with an exclaimation point and said that the drivers weren't installed.
When I followed the same process on a Windows 7 computer, the drivers installed as soon as I plugged the phone in. Weird; Motorola's website said that the drivers were for Windows 7 and 8. I tried disabling "Signature Verification" on Windows 8, but that didn't work either. Anybody know if Motorola hasn't released Windows 8 drivers for Droid 4 yet? Just wanna know for future reference. Thanks a bunch.
