Matt made this simple hook up your phone to your PC , make sure you back up your SD card, choose option 1 reboot, then root then safestrap. Reboot find a ROM compatible that'll work with it profit not all roms work with it yet.

I understand that I have to extract the zip file first and installed all the required drivers and then open and hit option one and go into AP Fastboot and run that but as for re rooting and reinstalling Safestrap is where im a little stuck I think i still have the safestrap app on my sd card so do i just reflash that?As for rooting again is that included in this Utility or do i have to go back to the Root utility and do that.

Option 1 or 2 will flash the JB Fastboot files, Option 3 will root you, Option 4 installs SS. So run Option 1, then 3 to root, then you can install SS thru the utility or from your SD if you prefer.

But I think option 3 rooting needs to run with phone booted normal so he can change the settings in Smart Actions

Yes in order to root, phone is in normal mode. I didnt have to do anything with smartactions using Matts tool. Just do everything in order.

Ok so from what im trying to understand, I can plug my phone in and run option 1 ( Phone Off ), after that is completed i can run option 3 with phone ON in normal mode??? After that, I can run option 4 to install SS? DO i need to uninstall the SS3.11 that is on my sd card now?

[cmh714]

Option 1 is phone in fastboot. Option 3 is phone normal, usb debugging enabled and phone NOT in Mass Storage mode so select MTP.

You can use the utility to install SS or just install the one from your sdcard.

Really, when I ran option 3 it rebooted my phone a few times then it asked me to run smart actions then click get started then hit battery saver then save then it said hit any key on the keyboard when ready then rebooted my phone a few times then I was rooted.

I misunderstood your earlier post.....I thought you meant that the Smartactions update would need to be removed....Yes youre correct on enabling Battery Saver.

Sorry for any confusion.

That's cool I just thought maybe I didn't have to run that. Just for curiosity are you running stock or are you running stock with a custom ROM if so which custom ROM are you running that is compatible with this stock.

I normally have been using Aviator, trying Flying Jelly as well. Also Rage, Cyclone, and a couple of others have been updated already.

[ksenter]

So a few days after upgrading I've noticed I no longer get 4g. It keeps switching back to 3g. Any ideas?

Edit: Never mind, I think it's ok now... I'd tried rebooting, airplane off/on, popping the sim card out and wiping it off and popping it back, running a restore connectivity app (from LG since the one from motorola wouldn't install) and nothing had worked, for some of them it would sometimes get on 4g for a minute and then switch back to 3g. But one of the things I did must have worked because I powered it off and waited a minute and powered it backup after doing some of those things and it's been on 4g for a couple of hours now. So I guess it's fixed.

May I ask which one you find stable never heard of Rage and Cyclone. Thanks for your time

I havent used Rage, and havent been on Cyclone since it was the .8 kernel.

Both Aviator and Flying Jelly are stable overall for me. All of the ROM's this first week or so will be working out the bugs so they will get better.

3. Uninstall Vodoo completely.

Q2:
Superuser 3.1.3 app?

Q3:
Smart actions 3.1.5.2 appl? I never use it, have no rules set up.

As far as I understood I need to: option 1-->reboot--->option 3--->option 4(in case I will decide to install custom ROM later)--> celebrate and donate couple beers
BTW: AP Fastboot mode - how to get into it?

Thanks A Lot!!
Just trying to be as safe as possible since don't have another phone handy and job depends on phone calls..

[Memnoch73]

Don't worry about any of the questions. The Utility will wipe all that and start you fresh...

To get to fastboot mode:

Turn off your phone.

Press and hold the following buttons at the same time until the screen turns on
1) volume down
2) volume up
3) power

Press Volume down until you reach the AP fastboot in the list
Press Volume up to select

So, all of the questions are irrelevant as Option 1 will pretty much wipe your phone clean and flash it up to JB. So just do Option 1 for that and the do Option 3 for root and 4 if you want SS for Custom ROM's as you stated.

Fastboot: power off, then hold both vol buttons and press power should get the white menu. From there, the vol down button scrolls, and the vol up button Selects. Choose Fastboot, and go....
