Install CWM, Zeus ROM on v20a

Hello. I am trying to install CWM on my p970, but it says: permission dienied. And I know why. Because it's not rooted. I want to install Zeus ROM, but I can't, cause I don't have CWM. Maybe someone knows how to install custom ROM without root.

Yes, I have stock ROM 20A

NO ROOTING = NO ZEUS
if u are NOT rooted,then u cannot install CWM...downgrade 2 froyo, root it and then install the 20N Repackaged/Zeus v1, whichever u want
downgrading to the v10 would be temporary as u wud root it immediately and install back zues/20N....i do it almost regularly (yes, i brick my phone pretty often ).
for a backup,i have v10D and the CMD scripts for rooting (via blackjack) and installing CWM.
hope i helped

you have to downgrade to V10 (with SmartFlash Tool) then root that version and use Recovery to Flash with Zip File!!

Which method do you think is much easier to get 100% SUCCESS on ROOT

after backreading for a couple of days, i have seen a lot ways to root & install recovery on our OptimusBlack .. . mine is V20B im knowledgeable enough about modding phones.. last two are OptimusOne(frroyo) & X8(eclair) ~
this one http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1456274
or this one using BlackJack Method http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1111771
now my question is which method do you think is much easier to get 100% SUCCESS on ROOT
someone here who get a successfull root access using BlackJack?
any feedbakcs?

IMHO, if you still om froyo, the first one should work best (SoC right?)
But GB? Try this http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=23790405

Question: Does this method of rooting your Black leave the Phone untouched?
Cause my mobo died on me - and after the repair i got it back from maintenance with Stock V20N on it. I flashed then V20C, rooted it with SOC and put my Nadroid backup on it. I had then to install the LG Update (cheat with own little Webserver and edited LMHOST) to update to V20N / V20O. Now i am on V20O......
I have finally the phone and layout i like but miss root to Backup the current ROM.So after playing hours with it - and the upcoming CMW9 or Miui ROM around the corner - i need Clockword Mod. So question again short:
How to root V20O without losing settings / data / apps?
Pls advice and sorry if i overread the solution in some of the threads - i read them nearly all....

that method is for rooting GB right? but what about installing CWM?
Got my new OB and its on GB v20b..

That method is for flashing an already rooted version of v20.
Flash it (use the same version as you already have and make no wipes after)
then install superuser.zip and you ll have access to CWM.
That s all you gotta do.
Or flash v10a or similar with smartflash, root it, install cwm and then install any custom ROM you want. That s probably even easier.

v20o root does not work
hi there,
first of all, I'm a noob in rooting and flashing, etc. I have a question regarding the mentioned v20o flashing (by SergovnikRZM):
I downloaded and installed all files, but in SmartFlashTool the start button is grey, I cannot start the process.
Also I cannot choose the Com Port and the LG Mobile USB serial port as the picture shows.
What should I do? Do you have any idea?
(I have a v20o Hungarian rom and the OS is xp sp3)
Thanks in advance and sorry if it's trivial but it is not mentioned in the steps..

How about enabling windows enabler? If your on Windows 7, you should run it as admin. you need to click on windows enabler, till it shows ON.

Ok, I will try, but this step was not mentioned...
(os is xp sp3)
when I tried the KDZ update I had to run windows enabler, and it was working well, and as I see this tool is also included to root, but this step is missing
Anyway, thanks your reply I will try it

you can try other rooters on My Android collections link below, or it may be easier to just flash a semaphore or CF Root kernel with Odin to install superuser app on your phone

[Q] How to root the INU 4.1.2 for my n7000?

please ive been searching and searching for hours !!
and i am NEW to these forums so im a lot confused with all the roms and kernels available !!
can somebdy please help me out
about how to root my note running on the indian version of 4.1.2 ?::fingers-crossed:
please i would really appreciate any help

This is the right section to post rather than the WIKI page help...
search for Philz LSZ kernel and flash it from stock recovery.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1329360 1A or 1B method from this tutorial depending on your requirement

i would like only the root and i am a noob as ull already know
and thanks for the help :good:
and one little thing
it says in 1b method that i flash the superuser but also shud i also flash the busy box along with it ? ?
i mean is it needed ?
doesnt superuser grant you the root already ?
(just out of curiosity)

if you want to use root apps.. some apps need BB.. so its better to flash it..

thanks
helped me a lot and saved me loads of time
so should i flash both BB and SU?
(this will be my last question )

yes or flash philz kernel..

should i uninstall the SU app that was there prev. on my rooted after goin to jb and then root in accordingly ?

if you installed JB.. the app will not be there.. so you will need to flash that su zip file to get supersu. after that update the app and binaries

how i do????

hi all the forum....

my firmware is 4.1.2.
it's possible attach a root for my phone here but not download of the site dev-sht???
thanks advance

I bet you need it because you want to install a rom...
Well, you can do it without root, simply install this: https://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-s-advance/general/rom-modded-cyanogenmod-11-t3387424
Then you'll be able to install any other rom you want.

Here is the root file for gti9070
