A successful root method from chinese forum!
from: http://bbs.gfan.com/android-3604178-1-1.html
The only root method so far, is to exchange the recovery in v20B and install root tools through recovery.
step 1) copy Superuser.zip to the root directory in SD card.
step 2) shut down your OB, take out the battery, press volume + and plug the USB cable (which means enter the S/W mode)
Step 3) extract LGP970.7z and obtain v20.bin and v20v.fls files.
step 4) open B_SmartFlashTool_Extern.exe and select:
ROM copy D/L
cp:V20B.fls
ap:V20B.bin
select mode:normal mode
step 5) click start button to start flashing, all data in OB(sms, contacts, game records) won't be lossed.
After flash procedures, you will come to the recovery interface, then, select install zip from SDcard and choose the superuser.zip that you place before.
Reboot and you got the rooted 2.3.4
All files(superuser, LGP970.7z ) can be downloaded from here:
http://115.com/file/cl3smym3
(for someone who don't know chinese:
after you get into the site, you will see 3 color buttons at the middle
green, blue and red, the download link(grey button) is at the right of the red button)
We already know that...

No, as written in the threads linked by N00BY.
Please read before you post.
Nor the rooted V20b uploaded to the Chinese forum the Hong Kong stock ROM, as reported by some in their replies.
The "new" method posted on the Chinese forum is actually the one posted by SnegovikRZN on xda.
But the poster didn't give proper credit to the source.
The only thing you need, is ubuntu or other linux distributions, the bin files of your firmware (u can get em like this: http://csmg.lgmobile.com:9002/csmg/b2c/client/cs_auth_model_check.jsp?esn=imei) replace IMEI, btw.
And this guide: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=22329293&postcount=106

Because the one post in xda is using v20B which is equally to the HongKong OB stock rom = v20B, so my question is , is that v20B is the HK's v20B ?

IT DOESNT MATTER which one it is, just download the bin file YOU need, and follow the guide then. Ask in the thread, which version it is. I cant answer this to you, since I am using a N version of GB. I already gave you the link, of how to get the right BIN files, via your IMEI, and if you couldnt get the official update yet, ask another one about it. Or simply try the ROM. It is rooted, so you can enter CWM quickly and also restore the previous version, if needed.

Thank you for your link, I get this sw_url:
but how can I download it?
I copy it to my browser but nothing appear. Thanks for your help

The request for the zip file that you get when making the request with a German IMEI always return a 404 (not found). I wonder where has the user SnegovikRZN taken them from.
Ok, sorry then, I thought LG already released the bin files. I've been wrong there it seems.
Idk where he got em from. Maybe ask him via PM or in his thread.

if I get the file from this:
http://csmg.lgmobile.com:9002/ezls/...IN_LGP970AT-00-V20b-454-XXX-DEC-31-2011+0.zip
Is that I can directly flash the bin file(extract from the above link) by smartflash?
Yes, you can flash the with Smart Flash, just as described here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=22304591&postcount=91 (of course by replacing the names of the fls/bin file with your own).
I would have one request from you, I am not able to download that zip from LG, but if you can, can you please share it somewhere ? I would like to have that in case that i have to bring the telephone back to the shop for warranty - it's a "just in case" scenario .
Dan
ok, if I can get the zip file from LG, I will post here
ok, I will post it if I know how to download the zip from LG
and have a solution about how to root the device or have the version of Recovery?
I hate this modified device either, but this is the only one which support dual-SIM and a SD Card...
Umh, teorically you can unlock your phone with HTC_Dev and after flash a M7 recovery, you have to check this.
The problem that i think, is if you want to flash a custom kernel or an europe/american rom, this, because, you have two sim and (i think, but probably i'm right) this one have a differente kernel like our...
May be i'm wrong.

Tried but failed, I have unlocked my phone and flash a M7 Recovery but not work and now I'm using a phone without recovery.
Seems not only with M7, those modified phones all have different kernels. I also tried the 802W recovery but failed again. Maybe there won't be a solution?
With 802W recovery you can't boot into it?
Is TWRP or CWM?
you can see relative threads on gfan forum, there already is a permanent root solution
Unlocking the dual sim variant is the same as unlocking an international one.
May be much easier for me to reply in Chinese

You can use Chinese if allowed, of course.
Allright, now there is a root for 802T.

I have a 802T (China Mobile) and can't get it to recovery. Unlocking the bootloader was not an issue and flashing CWM recovery worked
also well, but when I try to boot in recovery mode it starts loading and then stops and boots regularly.
Ah, ok I guess I found the threads you were refering too, but since they're in Chinese I can't read a lot.
Is it possible to get instructions in English?
cheers

I am also on this step, unlocked no problem but has the same thing happen when I try to root it. My girlfriend can read Chinese but it's too hard for her to translate it to me because she isn't very tech savvy.
Htc one 802t rooting issue
Same problem. Got a china mobile Htc one 802t
Stuck with sad bloatware and no google play.
How do I root?

you can search for the solution here in One Q&A. I came across the same problem myself when flashing recovery.
I don't really recall how I got into recovery. Try this:
~Make sure quick boot mode of your phone is off
~Flash the recovery via fastboot command.
~after flashing the recovery, do
Code:
fastboot erase cache
in cmd
~reboot bootloader.
~Go to HBoot see if it shows "TAMPERED unlocked" on top of the screen. (if it does then you're to go).
~If HBoot shows no "TAMPERED", unplug your phone and do a factory reset in HBoot menu.
~after the phone boots up, shut it down
~Boot to HBoot by pressing power and Vol- , you should see "TAMPERED unlocked" (doesn't work for everyone)
~If not, see if this help:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2182792
read the replies carefully you should find the solution
Also, someone suggests that reboot bootloader a few more times you can eventually get "TAMPERED unlocked" and boot into recovery.
I DONT THINK ANY OF THE CUSTOM ROMS IN XDA IS WORKING ON 802T SO BE CAREFUL !
Hello
I just received my one double sim, hope I can put gapps, and use of Google account.
Did you try to install a market to install app?
802t root
Aha! Found this thread finally...
I've got the same problem, trying to root the 802t Chinese version. Has anyone found an easy to follow solution in English yet?
I'm in the same boat too. I have a 802d. I need another ROM.
So it seems that some owners flashed custom recovery.
For those who have problem to go in recovery, I've got the same on my HK version (which is M7_UL).
To solve this issue, I just keep flashing in fastboot (cmd line). The all-in-one tool was not working well for me. But at least it provides all what you need (adb and fastboot).
Very important: remove the "fastboot" option from the ROM Energy parameters. It's in the setting of Android, it's not the 'fastboot' we're talking about to flash. This cause problem to access recovery, even if the flash was ok. So make sure you find this option which is activated by default.
If someone can confirm he's done it. I will do on my wife's 802d and post step-by-step instructions.
Before flashing a ROM we need to have advices from dev. we have SD support, dual SIM, different base band...
We will loose some functions by flashing a UL ROM. We need to know which one first. We can also loose all the functions... I mean brick the phone!
There is no RUU yet available for 'non chinese reading people'. Take this into account before trying
Do someone has tried a backup/restore in recovery? Does it work?
I'm not a dev but I can understand questions or tests. I do not have the solution but will be very happy to get info from my phone for people who have the knowledge I'm missing

Hi, could you paste some links to this forum?
I'm used to read Chinese website with chrome translate.
it's good enough to find what I need I think.
But you mean at least that I can flash CWM on the 802d the same way I've done on my 801s (HK)?
It's safe and after I can boot the original ROM again? I know it will also reset the phone and delete all data.
I know it's exactly what you write but I prefer double check. My wife will kill me if I brick her new phone...
On the Chinese forum they are using Chinese custom ROMs with baidu apps, weibo... or something more 'google'?
For example in the 'stream' (the main page) of sense 5 she has only news of China in Chinese! On my phone (the same in fact), I have the french news... She complains

This is a Rom with permanent root that works on 802d/w/t , there's a special Recovery for Mainland China variants provided in the thread.
Here's the hidden download link of the rom in case you have trouble registering:
http://pan.baidu.com/share/link?shareid=581602&uk=3660368359
I read the instruction, the rom comes with removable bloatware of Chinese carrier and promotion apps from the Rom builder. And aroma has been removed in order to solve the freezing problem.
as for the news*sources, I don't know. Some said they flashed the rom and get foreign sources, some said they get local sources with the very rom.
Still, I must WARN you I'm NOT a Chinese variant user and have no experience on rooting or flashing roms on one. It's your own risk.
Read the instruction carefully!!
Rooted vanilla ROM
wow, this sounds promising! Thank you for that~~
The next question I have is, if I don't want a custom rom, I just want to use the original rom but rooted, can I still just install the regular superuser.zip once i've installed this custom recovery?
Wouldn't that work?
Ok, we can thanks 人云奕云
I've downloaded the recovery and the custom ROM. he's right, easy to translate a forum but going through registration...
I've seen that they are also following xda as a lot here are using imported versions. I will not be surprized to find a port from UL version soon.
When I check the apps in the ROM zip, i can see many google apps, sounds good.
Do not be too happy for now. Nothing says that the ROM is what we expect. But at least it will root our phone and open it a little bit.
I will give it a try when I can get my wife's phone.
Recovery and boot (+required adb and fastboot) can be downloaded from here:
XXXpan.baidu.com/share/link?shareid=581597&uk=3660368359#dir
(remove XXX and paste the link)
Be carefull you need to choose the good file. For recovery it's easy (d/t/w), for boot you need to use google translate:
When you download the files you may not be able to see chinese characters.
nb: I don't understand why there is a boot.img to flash. Be carefull for now.
For me: the order is the same as on the site. So download accordingly.
1st: 移动版一键刷入 = china mobile (802t)
2nd: 联通版一键刷入 = china unicom (802w)
3rd: 电信版一键刷入 = china telecom (802d)

For me yes.
In the zip of the ROM I have there is Superuser.apk in system apps folder.
I imagine you can try (Nandroid backup first!).
If the zip just put the apk in system/app it can work. But I have no idea if the paths/partition for this folder are the same between the models, I'm not a dev at all.
On the Chinese forum they refer to this thread as support: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2182792
Follow it to unlock via HTCdev but flash the specific recovery files (and boot?), not the one on xda.

Yes, you can find the Play Store in baidu apps.
But on my phone it just open then close directly. Maybe you need to install additional things. The worst for me is the "blink feed" only for China and only in Chinese, you can go around the lack of Play store by downloading apks directly.
Even the web Play Store does not work. My one is recognized as a 'samsung something' and when I click on Install, nothing happens. But I'm in China, so maybe out of mainland it's different (no great firewall).
try and report please.
you can also try to unlock the phone and flash the Gapps.
I can confirm that superuser installs and works perfectly (so far!) on the 802t. The modified CWM recovery from the chinese forum works great, and allows us to get into recovery mode.
Phone is rooted finally,
Tested with Titanium Backup~~
Thanks everyone! :good:

That's good news!
I just finished to change the apps in the Chinese custom ROM (I used the one from mike1986's ROM).
I will test it tonight.
Ok, that's straight forward:
0/ download the required tools: use All-in-One tool in the sticky of HTC One section at xda.
BE CAREFULL: do not use the recovery provided, it's just to avoid downloading the Android SDK!
1/ unlock your phone using HTCdev website.
You need to register in order to get your unlock file.
Unlock your phone with fastboot. Just follow HTCDev instruction.
2/ install the recovery you find on the Chinese website.
BE CAREFULL: One recovery per type (802d/t/w)
I've done:
fastboot erase cache
fastboot flash recovery recovery.img (rename the one you download accordingly)
fastboot erase cache
Switch off/on the phone.
3/ download the ROM from Chinese website.
This ROM is from XiaoXiang8002. I didn't ask permission to put his ROM here. I can't communicate in Chinese. Anyway, thanks to him!
Before flashing I changed some apk I took in mike1986's ROM (xda dev section for dwnld)
nb: on first attempt I swapped too much apps... com.android.phone keeps FC.
4/ push the ROM on the internal storage (not external SD)
5/ boot in recovery (it's touch version), and flash the ROM:
flash
factory reset
wipe cache
reboot
enjoy...

Ok, 2nd attempt was good. But I don't have the "blink feed" I want.

For the rest, I have google account, flickr... but no Play Store, only HTC. Let's flash Gapps... does not work.
Same question with Play Store. Which apk? no more vending.apk in system apps...

***MAKE SURE TO BACK UP PERSONAL FILES BEFORE DOING THIS***
Flash the recovery in my signature (the one that's TWRP 2.7.1.3), and then download a ROM of your choice in the Sprint HTC One Android Development section. Transfer the ROM zip file to your internal storage, boot up TWRP and wipe everything except internal storage. Finally, flash the ROM, and you should be good to go.

Just got the phone. Came with Vendor ROM. Attempted the TWRP in main Guide section but it froze. Was advised by someone to flash the "Smarty" version of TWRP. That one had working touch so I thought it was good to go. I backed up the vendor ROM and went ahead and flashed EU Rom along with Super SU zip. It didn't go through properly and I was forced to long press power to restart.
I attached pictures of the failed TWRP dialogue and what happened after I tried to restart the phone. I really need some sound advice. I'm like super stressed over this big ass overpriced phone

Replied to your post in the other thread. Follow the steps in the guides EXACTLY as mentioned and you wont face any issues.
Since you're able to boot into fastboot mode, start from scratch and follow the steps. Hope this helps.

Agreed. If you can fastboot then all the files you need are available... You'll be fine, I know that stress, just take it slow and don't be in a hurry.
I come up in the same situation like your first picture every time I try to flash a new rom on my Mix. I had nandroid backed up everything though.
When TWRP stops after extraction I press power button and volume up to reboot at recovery. Then I restore my backup and MIX is working again.
I think don't do anything after flashing ROM till it says DONE should be added to guide. You moved to the next stage before ROM had finished installing. Would of thought that you should be able to boot to TWRP and just reflash, if not just follow guide to install TWRP.
Thank you guys for offering help. A kind user (forget his username but he has the thread Vendor to EU ROM) helped walk me through the process. Basically I had to use Xiaomi Flash to flash the Chinese firmware and then I was able to use TWRP and flash the EU rom.
Now my issue on the EU rom is that I can't get the Play Store to see that I'm in the US. Certain apps cannot be downloaded like Amex and Amazon shopping. If anyone have any ideas please share them.
I came here to instruct the same solution.
Only way to get EU flashed was to go back to Global Stable. After this TWRP could flash any ROM.
Glad you found it too.

Thank you guys for offering help. A kind user (forget his username but he has the thread Vendor to EU ROM) helped walk me through the process. Basically I had to use Xiaomi Flash to flash the Chinese firmware and then I was able to use TWRP and flash the EU rom.
Now my issue on the EU rom is that I can't get the Play Store to see that I'm in the US. Certain apps cannot be downloaded like Amex and Amazon shopping. If anyone have any ideas please share them.

Maybe you would be better on Chinese ROM.

Glad you got it up and running. I also had the play store issue so I installed the two apps that said were incompatible from the Amazon app store. It is not region locked.

"Beware and be aware are two words that many use interchangeably. However, despite looking and sounding the same, beware and be aware have different meanings. Beware means to be cautious and alert to danger whereas be aware means to have knowledge or perception of a situation or fact."
