Will rage thee cage method work now that my n1 us unlocked?
Is there a noobs guide to rage the cage? Also I haven't done much research on the radio. Would I need to download something for it? I'm lost as hell. THNKS FRG83
It will still work, but if you're unlocked it's pointless. Flash a custom recovery and use that in install a rooted update.zip (ChainsDD)
The Wiki is a good start, too...

Not sure that there's much on the rage, though

I flashed amon-ra's recovery and once I rebooted I got an android with a "!". The guide I used was on nexusonefourums. It said that if I got that symmbol that I was not rooted. I used modacos frf91 superboot to root. I was told it'd work. Apparently not.
O and now my wifi doesn't work at all. It just says error under settings-wireless.
Easiest way to see if you have root is to download a flashlight app from the market that requires root, and see if it works.
I always understood that the exclamation android guy was because you had stock recovery (I'm sure someone will correct me).

No need, you're spot on. Unless you remove a couple of files, the stock recovery is re-installed.
Thanks for that!
It's been so long since I've seen the lil' exclamation bugger, that I've forgot why he appears!

There is. "Root FRG33/83 without unlock" contains the thread with the explanation, and "SuperOneClick root app" is simple to use. Both in "Guides".
To the OP: Read the Wiki, for God's sake. The questions here come over and over again, and the interesting threads and questions all get lost in the maze of "how to root my phone". There's a guide for flashing recovery, read under "Recovery", and it says - "for unlocked bootloaders". That would save you the trouble of trying to root through rageagainstthecage method, because with unlocked bootloader you don't need any of that. There's also a guide, called "Flashing custom ROMs", at "Guides and Tutorials". That would cover everything you need.
N1 torch asked for super user permission and the full brightness is now working. It wouldnt work without root. So im rooted.... hate to ask it but.... now what? do amon-ra again?
Looking to add CyMod... and whats the deal on the updating my radio? do i need to? I hate being ignorant, but I gotta ask to learn.. Or I could brick my 500 dollar phone.
Pretty sure you're still on stock recovery, so yes, flash Amon Ra or Clockworkmod (if you're on an SLCD screen, only Amon 1.8 or 1.9 will work).
The wiki has instructions, or use Clockworkmod ROM Manager (but read the wiki either way).

Good heads up danger-rat. Downloads most recent radio and updated. I used rom manager and flashed most recent clockwork recovery. Now my next problem is getting cyanogenmod to download through Tom manager. It got 95% complete and said "rom download error. Google Apps: (outside link I can't post because of being a new member)" in my notifications.
Found a manual download site for gapps hdpi. Hopefully I can install it correctly

Thanks for the help guys. I'm well rooted with restored GApps. Running CM6. One question though...
My age of conquest apps says that I have not purchased a license and now closes. I have emailed the app developer and haven't gotten a response. Any solution? I have uninstalled and redownloaded and still no fix.

updated my HTC hero on sprint to the most recent OTA software update. not firmware, software. it was rooted before but I forgot to unroot before updating. root permissions are now completely jammed/locked up. tried to unroot, no good. tried to re-root, no good. I'm in a state of mid-rootedness. please help. I'm gonna go crazy trying to figure this out myself.
Run an RUU and reroot?
how you do dat? lol sorry I'm kind of a noob to rooting.

That works on the newest hero rom.
I don't know how to run all that stuff. how do you fix it without installing an extra ****-ton of software?
This is why you should read about rooting before you actually root the phone. Run the RUU like suggested, that is the only way you're going to be able to downgrade and root your phone.
Please post in the Q&A section next time when you have a question like this.

You don't install it on your phone... You run it inside of Windows, and then follow the instructions.
I did rum it on windows. it just keeps going not making any progress at all.

Obviously possible but I am trying to root my buddies CAptivate and NOTHING is working. What am I missing. TRied z4, cant us 3rd party installs, tried superone click and does nothing, tried the othert one click and it sits on the little blue screen saying my phone should be rebooting but my phone just sits there ?
can someone please HELP!!!
This should be moved to q&a before they eat you.
the first two methods you mentioned should work if you followed instructions correctly

It might be due to the computer not recognizing the phone properly?
You will probably have to end up replacing 3e recovery if your friend is already at 2.2. I always just 1Click back to stock and install a custom ROM from there. The only other ways I have seen involve replacing the stock kernel with a rooted kernel using Odin (the non-1click version), which can quickly ruin your friendship if any problems are encountered. Nothing else that I have seen will work with 3e.
Here is the 1Click: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=731989
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=884364 look at step 2, worked perfectly for me.
If you want to take fun way, forget rooting, just use http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=944418 and install custom rom that comes with root(all of them)
Either way, happy hunting
if you follow this it should work no problem.. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=731989
reason super one click isnt working is probably because your phone is not in USB debugging mode
And you shouldn't double post the same question clogs up the thread

Is there a method to root the Verizon LG G2 (VS980) on the stock OTA Kit Kat 4.4.2 build yet?
I bought the phone used, already had the OTA on it...now I just need root.
Not interested in Rom'ing, just need tethering without the $30/month charge for the few times I use it and need root to do it.
Thanks!

ioroot25 should still work...
I'm considering a G2 also and have been wondering the same. From what I gathered you would have to go back to 4.2.2 first, gain root, and then flash back to 4.4.2. Someone correct me if I'm wrong please.

You don't have to. Ioroot25 will root the official kk. That's what I used and it worked without an issue. Just make sure all the proper drivers are installed on your computer...

As far as that goes, how is installing the LG G2 unified drivers supposed to go? I found the download link for them in the main 200 page thread for this. Extracted the zip, but none of the .exe files do anything when run. Is that normal or is something wrong? For example I tried running InstallUSB64.exe but absolutely nothing happens.
Another more recent post on like page 185 of the thread had another download link, but that just leads to a file called "LG" with no extension and it doesn't appear to be a .zip

Is root all I need to flash Roms? Do I need to unlock the boot loader as well?

No you will need to root and then install custom recovery. Depending on what you are on. If you are on kitkat you can use autorec, and anything earlier you can use flashify.

I am not sure about the question but I know when you root this phone there is a trip where it will show in the lg menu that it is rooted. In order to get rid of that you will have to return to stock. Tell you though I have had this phone for a few months now and I am glad i finally decided to root and put custom recovery on. Its my phone and set up the way I want with root and all.

no problem. If you want a nice working asop rom check on Vanir 4.4.3
I'm having a hell of a time trying to get this thing to root. I followed all of the instructions for installing the LG device drivers and when I go to run the IOroot25 it flashes really quickly and then goes away. USB debugging is enabled and I have tried it in ethernet mode and charging mode. Both produce the same result. Do I need to remove any other drives I might have on my computer in order to get it to work? Any other ideas?

You need to be in Ethernet mode.
Once it boots into recovery, did you scroll down and select "install from adb"?

Yeah, I had everything setup correctly and it didn't work. Tried the same exact thing on another computer and it worked flawlessly. Thanks though!

Im having problems rooting it as well. I installed the latest drivers 1.14 I believe, and when trying to root it using ioroot25 it says downgrade to a previous version.
I do have it on Ethernet mode, and it reboots it into recovery, but that's it. I select apply update from adb but again, on ioroot it does nothing after the suggestion to downgrade.
any suggestions?
Make sure your phone is setup. Debugging mode is set. Unknown sources is set. Phone is on airplane mode. Plug into computer and start ioroot25 and follow steps

Guys
I have a SM-900A on MJ5, not rooted, on ultra mobile (t-mobile)
1. software update says there is no update available.
2. i tried 240258.zip (or something - renamed to update.zip) in sd card...Install from external storage...gives me some error about keys not matching, wipes /data and reboots
The guide to go up to 4.4.2 over here uses a UrDroid rooted 4.4.2 after safestrap. But that was back in Apr 2014 when towelroot was not available.
Where can i just download the correct update.zip and do a stock upgrade to 4.4.2? i do want to root after it but i am assuming towelroot should work without a hiccup. Am i missing something here?
Thanks
I JUST did this same dance. Don't follow any other instructions except for the "Ready to update to KK from JB" guide laid out here. You'll be incredibly pleased ha. So easy and hiccup free. Use Geohot's root toolbar to get you started! Good luck! PM me if you have problems

From what I've read, everyone who deviates from that guide has problems. You might Hey lucky and not, but I'd just go roti the easy method. Took me all of five minutes
