I recently updated my OB to the v10c software version. I'm not sure what region it is but I believe it is the europe open v10c? After I installed Gingerbreak 1.20, I tried to root my phone. It just displays the 'running exploit' message & this goes on for more than 20 minutes. I believe this means I am unable to root my OB? Is there an alternative solution to this?
more and more people are asking same things, why don't you research ?

Well, I did what you told me to but I still wasn't able to root my phone. I tried using all versions of SuperOneClick available but always failed at the step where I entered "adb push superuser,apk \tmp\" in the CMD.EXE. When I enter this line, I get an error message 'Protocol failure' and my phone reboots. I know a couple of users has the same problem as I do & a few of them has a solution. But it's pretty complicated for me to understand and to do..Is there a clearer solution to this?
Did you try all the solutions shared ?

I read in another thread to try using different versions of SuperOneClick e.g. 1.7, 1.9.5, 2.1 etc. So i tried all of it but it just rebooted my phone at "adb push superuser.apk \tmp\.
I believe there was another solution suggested but it was a bit complicated for me to try out. So I didn't try it as I wasn't confident about it :/
Did you try as example "my method" ? It's simple.

dude even i have the exact problem of protocol failure. even i updated my firmware from v10d to v10e europe open but still the same prob. actually my phone got wet so lg service replaced me a new phone udated already to v10d, is that the prob does new OB has some new security or something. damn i am y totaly pissed of by this rooting issue i am so eager to install cm7 or NOVA, pls for god sake somebody help us.
Hey guys just a quick update. I managed to root my OB with llko's upgrade kit
It took less than 10 minutes for me to root my phone, so many thanks to llko.
dpockets, I had the same problem as you, the 'protocal failure' error message. Try llko's upgrade kit from the 'android development' section. Use the SuperOneClick and SRP. It should root your phone in no time. Read the txt files inside for instructions to Root & install CWM.
p.s. Just for your information, I had to use the SRP(reset) application in order for the files to be pushed to my OB successfully, so yeah, in case the SRP application doesn't work, try the SRP(reset) application. Most importantly, READ THE INSTRUCTIONS FILE GIVEN. Follow the steps closely
Once again, thanks a million llko!
Thanks to you too
I made an update so now it's even more easier and should work for all version (need feedbacks)

Ilko, do u think about making an .apk (like Ginerbreak) so we don't need to use a PC?
It would be great to have an easy .apk to root.
hmm this may be doable, but my knowledge is limited to windows and NSIS and some of graph basics (script/dev related) I didn't really developped, all things I've made here was to assembly what I found. I know making packages (setups), rest of credits go to internet
(Obvious Noob warning---) A friend helped me root my Thrill, install ClockworkMod Recovery, and then install CM7 on my Thrill. But I would like to try the LG GB release. Is it necessary to backtrack all the way back to stock to do this (i.e. reinstall the stock ROM, reinstall the stock recovery, unroot, etc.)?
My friend tried using the LG upgrade tool on his LG phone without going back to stock and ended up bricking it. He says that usually within a few days of release, a CMR compatible zip file (usually already rooted) appears here on XDA (I haven't seen it), which makes things easier (but obviously he didn't wait for it himself).
Will a zip be possible for the Thrill GB? (The file seems quite large (420MB), so I'm guessing there is a lot of media included.) Or should I just bite the bullet and backtrack?

Trojan?
Sorry, but as a noob, I can't post in that other thread.
It seems that the shttp3.exe in the LG Flash Package triggers Symantec's trojan detection. Some searching seems to indicate (assuming I'm reading all the cryptic virus sites correctly) that there is something to this, although it seems that different scanners find different trojans/viruses (can't post the link, but Google for "shttp3.exe" and "trojan"). I also found that the web site for this utility is blocked at work, because it's a "malicious site."
Has anyone seen this? Has anyone been able to verify/refute this?
Rick

Just my .02 .....Get rid of Symantec !! They are known for scaring people into a virus frenzy.. Yes, it is possible that it is seeing it as a potential virus because shttp is a workaround from the usual porting of windows ip services. ...
Correct me if i'm wrong somebody please !!

PS: somebody on here has written a script that just uses shttp temporarily while
your doing the flash procedure, and then reverts your host files back automatically after your done. You should try it.

I'm sorry I can't give the link yet, but if you'll Google you'll see Comodo classifies shttp3.exe as "ApplicUnwnt.Win32.ServerWeb.SmallHTTP.~A" or "UnclassifiedMalware" (I guess depending on the version). A number of scanners find issues with shttp3.exe. I'm not saying it is infected, only that it is doing something suspicious.

shttp3.exe is in no way a virus. I've scanned with AVG and MalwareBytes Anti-Malware and they check out good.
Back to square one
OK, I seem to be stuck.
With paranoia in tow, I decided to take the long way back to stock. Unfortunately, when I tried to restore the backup of my stock image I made to SD card after installing CMR, the md5 checksum failed. I'm not sure what I can do about this.
So ok, I tried following the above link. The first step is to ensure the su binary is up-to-date. But when I tried this, I get a failure downloading the manifest. This is true for WiFi and HSPA+. I Googled and found a suggestion to delete the su binary. But that didn't help (I'm not sure how it would have helped anyway).
So back to the original question. Can I use the LG upgrade process to upgrade without going backwards (as you can see above, I can't) without bricking the phone? Can I start at step 3 in the link above and succeed?

Is it safe to ignore the su version update?
Short of this, can I override the MD5 checksum? I realize that image could be corrupt, but if I'm just going to replace it with the GB release, does that matter?

You should just put your phone in recovery mode and update through the tool
with your IMEI #. It will give you the latest update !
If you need some help on that I think Lestat or somebody has a write-up
on doing this.

Can you be a bit more specific?
1. By "recovery mode," do you mean into ClockworkMod Recovery, or I should revert to stock (I made a copy of it after I rooted the stock ROM, but before I installed CMR)?
2. By "the tool," do you mean the official LGMobile Software Update, or the LG Flash Package referenced in the link above?
3. By "latest update," do you mean the file directly from LG, or the copy (v20p) linked from the link above?
4. If the latter in both previous questions, which set of steps do I need to follow from the above link? Can I do only 3 (LG Flash Tool), or do I need to follow 1 (Recovery Manager), 2 (Returning to Stock), and 3?
My friend had a different LG phone, with ClockworkMod Recover and CM7 installed. He reverted the CM7 to stock, but did not replace CMR with the stock recovery. Then he used the official LG upgrade method and bricked his phone. I'm trying to avoid this.
Are you saying I don't have to worry about this on the LG Thrill 4G? Can I go straight from the current CMR+CM7 configuration to the LG GB release using the official LG process?
If you mean I should use a different process, can you point me to it? As I mentioned, I run into dead-ends using the method linked above. And I'm not even sure whether I should be doing steps 1, 2 and 3, or if I should just use step 3.
Any and all help is appreciated, but I guess I don't understand the shorthand you're using here, so if you could be a bit more specific, I wouldn't feel so lost.

Remove your battery and keep the phone unplugged
Launch the mobile updater tool
Hold the volume+ button plug the phone in and keep holding the volume+ till the computer downloads the drivers your phone is now in download mode
Once the phone is picked up go to customer support on the LG updater tool and click on recovery phone put your imie number in click check (make sure its the right model) an let the updater tool do its job. Once its done flashing launch into recovery volume- plus power plus 3D button do a complete wipe and factory reset and reboot your phone ... you'll lose cwm and root and be back to full stock

Bricked?
No joy. Following the steps, the upgrade stopped at 6%. Trying a number of times, it eventually forced me to exit the program (no more restarts). Rerunning the updater (and downloading the 420 MB image yet again on a VERY slow connection) I tried again and again, with different combinations of battery and plug order with power and volume buttons, but nothing worked. Checking elsewhere I found some issues had been reported with Windows Vista/7, so I tried on an XP machine. Now the "Start Updating" bar is red (it was always gray with W7). But now when I try to restore (or even update for that matter), it asks for my S/N (it never did that before) and then says it is "no longer able to upgrade." Reading around, it seems this is an indication of the device being bricked.
Rick
It sounds like you are very close to getting it working Rick.
My update did the same thing, looped over and over until it
finally kicked me out. Just plugging and unplugging the phone etc....
And when my update stuck at 6% the last time, i took my battery out and then in real quick and that seemed to work.
Does the phone still vibrate when you plug the usb cable into it while holding volume..? If it does then I highly doubt that your phone is bricked, just in a semi flashed state....No worries
Should Rick be trying to run LG Updater as administrator ? I didn't, but it might not hurt.

It never really vibrated, but I was able to get back into CMR. Unfortunately NONE of my backups work at all. They all have MD5 checksum failures. I tried a trick I found online and got past that step, only to have it say a failure restoring /system. So much for CMR.

Which step? As I mentioned above, I can't even get the first step of the first section (updating the su binary). And if I start at the 3rd section, Symantec prohibits me from using shttp3.exe (I tried to unquarantine it, but it gives a permission error, even as Administrator, when I try to run it), so I'll have to use a different machine.
I was able to reinstall the CM7 3/15 release, so that's something. I was going to restore the stock recovery backup I made, but even that doesn't seem to work. I'm having issue with backups :-(

i have never been able to restore a backup. i dont know why... but i have tried several times in several different instances.

First off Odin is meant for Samsung devices, not Motorola devices (Attempting to use Odin on a OG Droid or an other non Samsung device could very very easily brick your phone). SBF is used to flash Motorola devices. Take a look at this guide to unroot and install the factory image Verizon provides.
Note: Make sure you follow the guide exactly except flash this SBF file rather then the one in the guide that says DROID 2.2 Firmware. Let me know if you need any more help!
Thank you very much. This seemed to work well, although I don't recall twitter and facebook being included in the original rom. It's been a while though. The only things I would change are obviously getting that latest SBF file, and also don't use the link in the tutorial for RSD lite. I followed that link and had to download and install a separate downloader, which even though I uncheck all the boxes installed weatherbug and PC optimizer on my computer. Just google it and there should be a link from XDA to download the RAR file.

I believe you are correct that Twitter and Facebook were not included in the original 2.0.1 build the phone was released with. It was added in subsequent updates from Moto/VZW.
I rooted this phone for the sole purpose of using Titanium Backup. If the boot loader had been broken, I would have flashed a ROM from one of the very talented people that cook them.
That being said, I now want to flash the stock 4.3 upgrade. When I click the FOTA Upgrade button nothing happens, just a button click, nothing more (sound and tact). So I unrooted the phone and deleted every trace I could see. I ran 2 root checkers and verified. Then I called Tech Line. They got into my phone to try and push the upgrade, but told me that being still rooted blocked it from happening. I ran the SuperSU unroot and rebooted and pulled the battery. Again I have confirmation from boot checkers. So it should definitely be unrooted. But I haven't let Tech Line loose in it again. :fingers-crossed:
Moving on...
I followed the instructions on the Samsung site using Kies. But Kies tells me my firmware isn't supported for Kies update. Really?!?
I followed the instructions on the Droid Magic site, I downloaded file OneClick_I537UCUBMI2.zip and fired up Odin. I have tried several different versions of Odin but none use .zip files. The phone does connect to Odin both in download and stock bootup.
Should I attempt to reformat the compression of the file to .tar or similar? Could I extract and run the lone .exe file in the .zip? Is there a switch to flip, or script to run, or app to install that will allow FOTA or Kies to work?
I would rather get the FOTA button to work, but I'll take any and all thoughts or suggestions offered.
I'm working on hosting the file unrestricted temporarily so maybe it can help someone. But it's kinda big.

Is TitaniumBackup the only root app you've used, have you frozen anything, installed any mods, or messed with any of the apps in your system/app folder? This will become important later.

It sounds like you need to uninstall BusyBox. Normally SuperSU will uninstall this but it sounds like you tried a different method of unrooting that may have left bits in your system and since you weren't technically rooted anymore SuperSU didn't know what it needed to do.

It sounds like you have the AT&T i537. This phone has a locked bootloader as you know. AT&T has required Samsung to lock down the i537 and will not allow them to release any firmware on Kies, this is why the software says your phone is incompatible. Basically AT&T is screwing us hard.

The website you linked to is giving you bad information. The MI2 file is not technically "Official Firmware". This is a pre-release version of the firmware that DesignGears was able to get for the community. This will become important below.

As you've stated, this MI2 zip file that you've downloaded has a single exe file in it. This exe file should be run from a computer and it will allow you to flash new firmware to your phone. BUT, as I mentioned above this is pre-release firmware. What that means is you will forever be stuck on this firmware, you will not be able to take official updates from AT&T or Samsung. If you're ok with that, then go ahead and flash your phone with the pre-release of 4.3. If you want the official 4.3 update you have a little work to do. Above I asked you if you messed with any of the files in system/app, this is because the official update file can be downloaded and can even be flashed but it checks nearly every file in the system/app folder to make sure that it is the original file. If you've modified anything in there, the update is going to fail.
I'm going to post a few links of stuff you should read, but there is definitely a lot more that you should be reading.
How to flash stock MF3 - this is most likely the firmware you are on, but this thread will tell you how to get it back to stock, the way it was when you took it out of the box. This should allow you to take the official 4.3 update if other methods don't work.
MF1 Pre-release (4.2.2) - this is a pre-release of 4.2.2, you should read this.
MI2 Pre-release (4.3) - this is a pre-release of 4.3, read this thread to understand the benefits and drawbacks of flashing this pre-release firmware.
Official 4.3 Update Thread - this tell you what you need to do to try to update your phone to the official version of 4.3. Currently there is to way to root the official 4.3.
SafeStrap Thread - this will allow you to flash TouchWiz 4.2.2 based ROMs on your phone. Again, you need to read before you do anything. There's actually a lot we can do even though our bootloader is locked.
I can't stress enough how important it is to read. Once you've read everything and you think you understand what you're doing, READ MORE. There's always somebody who's done what you're trying to do and someone has more than likely given the answers you're looking for. Read as much as you can and you can avoid bricking your phone and ending up with a paperweight.
Good luck and us know if you have any questions, everybody is here to help.
You mentioned something I had forgotten, I did install app quarantine so I could remove the samsung and att apps from my drawer. So i went back and installed active root and app quarantine and unlocked the apps. But it seems I must have also deleted /system/apps/wssyncmldm.apk and .../KNOXAgent.apk. I can't believe that I deleted them instead of renaming them like I normally would, but it seems that's what I did.
So I'm hoping that some of you can copy these files to a google drive or something so i can reinstall them. pretty please?
If all else fails, i have insurance so my phone might get broken in a fall while doing some dangerous house work tomorrow.

I so much miss being able to just flash with clockworkmod. Things were so much easier.

Hi sorry I know it has probally been asked lots of times but I have searched and I am tearing my hair out now.
can anyone tell me in simple steps or post a link to simple instructions to get firefox and flash installed and working correctly it but had to do a reinstall.
Now when ever I try tvcatchup.com I get unsupported mime type but flash is installed. I CANNOT use the b &n plugin download link as I am not in the US and it is not available in the uk.
thanks

It sounds like your on the bn official rom? Believe you have to be rooted which leapinlar shows how to do in his guide here -> http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=35811322#post35811322
And you can grab the flash apk anywhere like here on xda -> http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1774336
If your not on bn offical rom, you just need the latest firefox installed and an apk from above link sideloaded with "unknown sources" setting enabled in android settings. That's it.
Different apk versions may cause flash to act in different ways. I had used the 11.1.115.81 version and it gets the job done.
Something auto updated and made the device unstable. I had backed up the image as it states in the how to but when I went to restore it back got a md5 error. He he serves me right for reading the instructions.
cheers I will give it a try.

Hi. I know I'm probably a bit late, but the Flash browser plugin is available on the UK nook store. Just search for browser plugin.
I tried to post the link, but it says I need 10 posts to do that.
I know this works, as I installed it last week. I'm on the stock rom, so this should work for you. Hope this helps.
