I followed the LG Revo downgrade instructions pricisely but when attempting to register the vs910.dll after moving it to the newly created Models folder within C:\LG Electronics\LGNPST\ directory, I get the following error:
"The module vs910.dll was loaded but the call to DllRegisterServer failed with error code 0x80020009."

I got this to work on Windows 8 x64, so I don't think there is a problem with the type of Windows you have installed, but some problem somewhere else.
Thanks for the catch, I forgot they had the wrong code in the link. Fixed.
thank you
wow, that was awesome guys thanks so much, worked like a charm!!!
Now if someone could only figure out how to Root v6 so we don't have to do this downgrade nonsense....
I ran into the same issue, but started XP Mode on my Win7x64 tied in the usb port with the phone and everything went perfectly - rooted and installed Revolt mod in no time

ok so now that I got that dll properly registered, I tried to root using Superoneclick but kept getting permission denied error so I did it manually through ADB and I think it worked, but after downloading SU and running it, it tells me I need to update my SU binary but whenever I try, the program crashes...help again!
I couldn't get the newest version of S1C to work, or the ABD method. It appeared to work in ABD, but would crash Superuser. I ended up using S1C v1.63 and it worked just fine for me.
Try using superoneclick version 1.7 and use the rageagainstthecage exploit if you're having issues with root. Make sure all antivirus is disabled before downloading and installing.
Go to clockwork recovery and do the "fix permissions" procedure. That might help, it did on a Thunderbolt today that had problems updating the su binary. Do rooted programs work?

You can't use the latest version, you need version 1.7. Also, when you connect the phone to the computer, you need to pull down the notification menu and select "Internet Connection." USB Debugging will NOT start in "Mass Storage" or "Charge Only."

I used S1C version 1.7 also - could not get it rooted otherwise. Also had to mess with the "Debugging Mode" to make it work - turn it off, then quickly turn back on when at Step 6. Once I did that, everything worked perfectly.

ok i just updated to CM 5. and well none of my apps are there, now im trying
this following :
sh /sdcard/installapk.sh /sdcard/theapp.apk
and no luck i think i can b doing it wrong.
cant DL the app cause i dont have the market app ether
Download DroidExplorer and you can do a bulk install of all your apps straight to the sdcard. Works everytime!!!
Link is in my sig
yea but i have no market on the phone and i dont have adb set up on my pc is it possible trew terminal to install astro so i can go on from there?
If your market is not there then you failed to flash the gapps.
You need to flash those AFTER CM5 or BEFORE. I've heard it works different for some people. First time I flashed it, it was before. Now it's after. Before and after won't hurt.
i figured that but the link on CM page for gapps is not working for me
I'm not really sure what having the market working has to do with anything. Clearly you didn't even take the time to click the link in my sig and go to the DroidExplorer thread.
it seems like that is for computers 64bit and up i have 32

Are you talking about DroidExplorer? I have it installed on my 10 year old Dell and it is definitely a 32 bit machine. I'm assuming you are talking about something else.
You can use busybox if you have the latest CM ROM installed which you do. Busybox is included in the ROM so you can run busybox commands from terminal.
Put the apps you want to install on the root of your sdcard just to make them easy to find. Once in terminal, su so you have a # symbol
Then
Code:
busybox install /sdcard/yourapp.apk /sd-ext/app
great now i am F*** i tried installing the debug phone ota file that was required for CM 4.x and now i have no recovery it comes out the phone with exclamation mark
trying the droid explorer now
no luck droidexplorer seems to view the device but nothing else

Well that makes sense considering Droid Explorer requires root...According to your post on the first page, you are seeing an exclamation point when booting into recovery which means you lost root access by flashing whatever it is you flashed. Time to start all over again.
There is an updated rooting post for the Dream over at theunlockr.com
ok now my thing is i cant have the phone on cause it will keep getting FC and after a few it reboots
im trying to set up ADB on my pc now will that help me fix this? the phone boots up and the it reboots on its owne
It seems pretty clear that you don't really know what you are doing when it comes to modding your G1, and it is also pretty clear that you aren't willing to listen to directions.
I told you that you could batch install applications through Droid Explorer and you blatantly ignored my directions then said that it wouldn't work because you have a 32 bit computer.
I then gave you directions on how to use busybox to install the application that you wanted and never got a response regarding whether you even tried it or not.
You responded further into the thread saying that now you are getting an exclamation point when booting into recovery which MEANS THAT YOU DON"T HAVE ROOT ANYMORE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Installing adb and getting it working isn't going to do anything for you as far as installing applications because you lost root access which means you don't have the correct permissions to do anything anymore.
I gave you the link to an updated post on rooting so either do that or update this thread with where you stand exactly. Can you get into recovery? Is it an exclamation point? Can you launch the terminal app? When you type "su" do you get a # or an $? Does it say permission denied? ETC ETC ETC

My whole point with the no market is if he would have flashed the gapps or found another way to get them he could have installed a file manager then installed the app off his sdcard.
This was a 1 - 2 minute procedure that he has not made an hour/s procedure.
I agree with droidexplorer, I use it quite constantly. However, if he would have correctly installed CM5 this issue would have never arisen.
As for OP, I strongly advise that you unroot and stick to stock. If you cannot successfully do this, there is a high chance you are going to brick and it's just not worth it.
this is not the first time i try this i have a understanding of what i am doing, for some reason i decided to try another sdcard and it magically booted fine, now the gapps link doesn't work for me, so i am trying to install astro threw terminal emulator (astro is on the root of the sdcard) so i can just install the rest of my apps
thank you busybox worked thank you so much
funny after all the stuff i tried i decided to try a diff sdcard and it booted fine and then changed back to the old sdcard and it works fine
Note to all users: This thread is now closed. I will no longer be updating GladRoot as there are more reliable and simpler methods for obtaining root on the newer firmwares. Support can still be found through PM for the older firmware versions.Note to all users on non-AT&T/Bell devicesThis is currently untested on anything but AT&T and Bell phones. You can run this on any phone, and at the very worst, it just won't work. There's almost 0 chance you will harm your phone by running this, so feel free to try. Please report back what firmware version you tried it on, and if it worked or not and I'll update the first post here to reflect. I don't have any device but an AT&T Atrix so I can't test any of the other versions myself, I need your help!GladRoot v4.3 (AT&T 1.83 Update Supported - READ DIRECTIONS)
In the interest of cleaning things up and putting all the current information into one place, with links to everything you'll need to get this working.
Basically, there's a ton of misinformation floating around about current root methods. This is your one stop shop for all your root needs. To explain, the SuperOneClick method installs busybox a second time. The Atrix already has busybox installed, so there's no need to install a duplicate. This can cause issues with other mods. GladRoot will take care of everything SuperOneClick did. I've contacted the developer to see if there's a way around this.
Start Here
If you have an AT&T Atrix and want to update to 1.57/1.83 with root, follow the first set of instructions.
If you have a Bell Atrix or an AT&T Atrix on 1.26 or 1.52 and just want to root, go to the second set of instructions.
Please, please, PLEASE, read the whole first post before asking questions. Chances are your question is already covered in the directions.
If you have any features requests or notice any bugs, please PM me, I might miss them in this thread.
To unroot, just run unroot.bat
Note to users seeing "Unable to detect device" error: Disable USB debugging, and turn it back on. Make sure your connection type is set to None. If you need the drivers, they are available here: 32-bit Drivers and 64-bit Drivers
Little bit of additional info here:
This will root your phone. There is no need to run aRoot before this, and you should NOT be running SuperOneClick anymore.
This has options to enable sideloading and the tethering APN. Enabling sideloading will not add an Unknown Sources checkbox, it will just enable it. I don't see any reason for the need to disable this, so unless someone can make a case for the checkbox (that makes sense for users), it will remain this way.
Unlike v1, the scripts are fully automated. You need only click "allow" to superuser when prompted for certain steps.
If you are already on 1.57/1.83 and do not have root, you MUST flash back to 1.26 for this to work. NO EXCEPTIONS.
Installation instructions: 1.26 to 1.57/1.83
Read the directions.
Read the directions again.
Read the directions a third time. If you do not understand a step, ASK before starting.
Download the script
Extract the GladRoot folder and files to C:\. Do not install anywhere else. Having it inside a folder with a space will cause the script to FAIL.
Make sure your device is 1.2.6 and is not running any mods, I recommend a fresh SBF flash of 1.2.6. Download links and installation instructions here
Enable USB debugging (Settings -> Applications -> Development).
Connect your phone (I recommend setting USB Connection to 'None').
Run gladroot.bat and follow the on-screen directions (If you're using Windows 7, run as admin by holding down control and double-clicking).
Verify that there are no errors before updating.
Go to Settings -> About phone -> System updates
Follow the on-screen instructions. First download the update (you will need a Wi-Fi connection for this), then it will prompt you to install.
The update will reboot the device and install itself. If this part fails it's because you are not on stock 1.2.6 firmware. Start over and read the directions.
When it boots back up, verify USB debugging is still on. Some users report that disabling and re-enabling USB debugging solves a few issues with the script detecting your device (Settings -> Applications -> Development).
Run afterupdate.bat (If you're using Windows 7, run as admin by holding down control and double-clicking).
Make sure you allow the superuser request on your phone or it WILL fail.
All done! Enjoy your rooted Atrix on 1.57/1.83!

Extract the GladRoot folder and files to C:\. Do not install anywhere else. Having it inside a folder with a space will cause the script to FAIL.
Make sure your device is the correct version. Go to Settings -> About phone -> Build number and make sure it matches one of the following:
OLYFR_U4_1.2.6
OLYFR_U4_1.5.2
OLYLA_U4_0.37.4
If you need to flash an SBF first, Download links and installation instructions here.
Enable USB debugging (Settings -> Applications -> Development).
Connect your phone (I recommend setting USB Connection to 'None').
Run gladroot.bat and follow the on-screen directions.(If you're using Windows 7, run as admin by holding down control and double-clicking).
When you get to the step that asks if you're updating to 1.57, just say no.
Verify that there are no errors.
All done! Enjoy your rooted Atrix!

I love you guys lol!
So will this method (or the idea behind it) work for future updates (like the supposed ones for HSUPA, voice quality and one day eventually maybe gingerbread?)
Or do we have no idea about those?

I would assume so, unless Moto closes this hole? Not sure if this is a root exploit like psneuter or not.
Also flashing my phone 1.2.6 and will attempt this, will post back my results

After failing with the previous version, I failed again with this version. I get the screen shot below every time.

Nothing works.

Not sure but maybe after doing this and obtaining root you can flash over to decrap rom or revolt rom and maybe that would fix the issues? Just a thought

When I downgraded, the data stayed intact. However, do a backup anyways.

I believe the users that have a failed downgrade had a problem with the .TOT file being downloaded properly and they probably had the phone in CDMA mode only when the phone should be in LTE/CDMA mode.
But if anything, they may have unplugged the phone before the program finished because the phone looks like it's done being flashed but the flash program says it's 80-90% complete.
Make sure you DO NOT unplug the phone until the flash program say it's safe to do so.
A note to all. If you have the drivers installed form earlier. UNINSTALL THEM!
Then restart. Install Verizon's drivers when you first plug your phone in while in 'Mass Storage' and THEN install those drivers. I had some problems getting it to work but that fixed it a bunch. Also, if you are getting a 0x800 error while trying to install the DLL, open CMD with Admin privileges and then 'regsvr32.exe "C:\LG Electronics\LGNPST\Models\VS290.dll" and it should install correctly.' I would suggest rebooting after this then running the tool.

You can try to update the drivers.
Reboot.
Turn on LGNPST.
Plug the phone to a DIFFERENT USB port.
Make sure USB Debugging is switched on on the phone.
Wait for the phone to install.
Voila.
I think LGNPST may have a refresh problem but that is what repaired the issue for me.
This Method works and is the same way I recovered my last Revo. Not sure what may have caused the issues for that phone. Using this method on the new replacement has been successful and still no problems with the phone. Did a S1C and rooted successfully and installed CWM using ADB without a hitch. Then came decrap 1.1 Life is great.
Having problems installing "VS910.dll" file. I keep getting an error. Tried Crax0r's suggestion and no dice.
You have to unzip the directory. Once that is done then the option will appear. If you still need help tonight then you might find me on irc. Im sure i can help you there. Message me if you dont figure it out.
Yeah I had download Bitzipper Trial to unzip....but when I right click the vs910.dll file I get this error "The module"C:\LG Electronics\LGNPST\Models\VS910.dll" was loaded but the call to DllRegisterServer failed with error code 0x80020009"
Edit: Sorry, I get the error when I right click and get an option to register....not Install...as the instructions says.

I'm using win7 x64bit and the registry key that adds the right click register option wont work for me either. The manual .dll registration worked though after a reboot.
First, please forgive me if this is posted in the wrong section. It seemed most appropriate.
Second, I take no credit for anything here except for writing the .bat file here used to do the work, as well as assembling the files as per the original post.
All credit goes to djmwj and his article found here:
http://rootzwiki.com/topic/8722-lenovo-ideapad-k1-rooting-guide-messy/
As the title states, it was very messy. The OP figured out how to make it go, but it was a bit fuzzy to follow. So, I thought I'd help folks out a bit and clean things up.
So, I took the instructions presented in the OP, and condensed them into one download with one .bat that does everything from start to finish, minus installing the respective drivers for ADB and NVFlash. However, the drivers are included in the download.
Instructions:
1. Extract K1Root.rar to the directory of your choosing.
2. Connect your tablet to your PC with the USB cable.
3. With your tablet off, press POWER+VOL_UP+VOL_DOWN until the screen turns on, but displays only black.
4. Windows should detect the device, but not install drivers.
5. Go into device manager, select the APX device, choose update drivers, and install the drivers from the aptly named NVFlash_Drivers folder.
6. Open up the NVFLASH_HOME folder and run the file K1Flash.bat
7. Make your desired choices when prompted, and enjoy.
Notes (PLEASE READ BEFORE USING):
THERE MAY BE BUGS! I used it on my own stuff before releasing, and all of the essential components work as they should, however, there may possibly be a minor hiccup somewhere in the script. This should not damage anything. If you have doubts, you're welcome to examine the .bat and check it for yourself.
Please be gentle. I am not a full-time developer. I just wrote this to help make the process simpler for people.
The OP suggests you download and read the partition table, and then name the backup files based on that. This script names the backup files based on the flash.cfg script referenced in the OP, which is what controls the flashes used anyway. So, there shouldn't be any irregularities, however, I can't speak for every device on the planet.
This does NOT use the latest OTA updates. The rooted files being flashed are the default ones from the original download. You can easily adapt this to any files generated from the latest OTA files by simply dropping them in the NVFLASH_HOME file.
To install the SU properly, you have to install ADB drivers midway through the script. There's probably a way around this, but I didn't find it to be too inconvenient.
The ADB drivers are also located in the NVFLASH_HOME folder. Just do like you did when installing drivers in step #5, but instead point to NVFLASH_HOME.
Um...um...
That should be it. Obviously, use at your own risk. Let me know if there are problems with the script, and I will fix them.
Oh, and party on, Wayne.

EDIT:
Attached is an updated .bat file which fixes a few errors in the original script, plus adds more userability. Just extract to the NVFLASH_HOME folder and run.

You may want to change the title to Ideapad K1, I don't know if this will work for the Thinkpad tablet.
Thanks for this, I just picked up this tablet ($250 at staples) and was worrying about having to tackle linux and "compiling" just to be able to get hulu.com working. You're a lifesaver.

Wow. Yeah, I'm pretty sure the key used is just for the Ideapad. Thanks for pointing that out. My dumb a$$ must've blanked out and just used the group name when posting.
And just to be fair, the original poster does include everything needed to do stuff in windows as well - it's just very hard to discern from the post.
question
Is anyone working on a custom ROM for this tablet? I am hopeing that there will be at least a few custom roms available at some point in the near future.

We need to be able to root and unlock the bootloader first.
Does the root method work on the 121211 update?
Or is there a way to flash back to the older firmware?
the OTA update 12 12 11.... seems to be update.zip style with no .img files inside. just loose files like normal rom updates. doesnt seeem like you can drop the files in as suggested. or i have the wrong OTA....
oh and is this for LINUX as the OP or work in windows too??
Hi, I was wondering, is this procedure works for the Lenovo ThinkPad 1838-25U? I'm thinking to buy it to give a test ride, i sold my Transformer 101 to buy the Prime but it seems like Asus is taking vacations on the delivery shipments. Is this a good tablet? or is better to wait for another version?
READ THE POST
IDEApad not THINKpad. no it wont work.
First of all- thank you so much for creating this script! I have been putting off rooting this device due to the "messy" nature of the original post.
I was hoping you could help me troubleshoot, I have tried both the new K1 root application and the original .bat file. I know the drivers are working because the script makes it as far as creating and formatting partitions and successfully pushes the bootlooder.bin but then:
bootloader.bin sent successfully
file not found: recovery.img
failed executing command 2147483647 NvError 0x4
command failure: create failed
I've tried everything I can think of... any ideas?
Thanks again.
I found problem.
after root done follow step. I cannot factory reset and update any ota.
anyone can help me ?

Yes you have to roll-back to 04 stock and then apply the OTA's

A big thanks to Khanning who was nice enough to walk me through the adb commands and bear with me when I couldn't get adb over usb to work.

It means you are not in APX mode. Read the PDF and follow the instructions for installing the APX drivers. This should fix your issues.http://forum.xda-developers.com/show...9&postcount=50

I recently got this device and looking for a way to root this device without having to roll back to the factory default rom and then having to update again using OTA.
Question, am I in luck, is that at all possible or do I have to really rollback and reinstall everything again?
Thanks!

Anyone have the root? Megaupload is down forever.
I got my Cap to stock GB 2.3.5 finally, after it being in the "firmware upgrade fail" screen. I flashed the file with no bootloader, since I was already on GB before. All went well until I tried to get rooted through Super One Click, short fuse 1.9.1.0. I got everything started and tapped the Captivate tab and it went through the whole process and in the end, failed . Once more, same thing. Tried universal tab, driver check, some kind of windows pop up saying either stop now or sect continue. I continued and tapped root tab and killing adb, starting adb, daemon not running, daemon started successfully waiting for device, failed to get root. One more try, same thing. Now my battery is showing very low, like in the red low. So I left the phone plugged in the wall charger while I reinstalled the Samsung drivers, and that is when I noticed the phone went black and when I connected it to the laptop to try Super One Click with new drivers ans the laptop doesn't recognize the device. Says no drivers are installed, etc...,etc... . One click starts though recognizing the phone and starts trying the root sequence and everything is good until after daemon starts successfully, it says OK, waiting for device... - that's it. I can't get it into download mode even with with the USB jig. I had already sent this phone in and had the unbrickable mod done by Josh at Mobiletech video. So, does anyone have any suggestions or answers, as to how I get this phone working

Thanks for that link. I've got bigger issues than trying to get root though. My phone won't go into download, even when I use a USB jig. I have nothing but a black screen. I can't get recovery, my computer recognizes it but only as a Samsung USB device with no drivers installed. I've installed drivers from Kies, from Samsung, and from Gingerbread rom. I have unbutu installed, but I have no idea how to input commands. I have had the phone repaired and had the unbrickable mod performed on it by Josh at Mobiletechvideo back in February. I can't get unbrickable resurrector to work because I don't know how to run Linux / Unbutu. So now I'm out of ideas/options that I'm capable of implementing. If anyone that may read this has an idea of what I should do next, please let me know.

I did a quick google search on this unbrickable resurrector and it looks to be just a .jar file that is able to discover what mode the captivate is in and correct issues. I do not have experience with this exact program but I did find a thread with documentation / how-to. You should be able to follow those instructions + adapt for your device. If you have any specific questions pertaining to ubuntu / linux, let me know.

I appreciate you trying to help. I hit the "Thanks " button so you will have your first on your meter. LOL. I already read that post and it didn't quite get me what I needed unfortunately. I may have to send it back to Josh at MobileTechVideo and let him see what he can do. But I'm still trying to do it myself in the meantime.

Do you have java & the .jar file downloaded? If so just open up a terminal and try these commands, substituting file for the actual filename
Code:
cd ~/Downloads
-- This is assuming you've left the .jar file in Downloads directory
Code:
chmod +x file.jar
-- This will give the file execute permissions
Code:
java -jar file.jar
-- This will run the java jar file.
You will need java installed, If you don't have it installed run these commands.
Code:
sudo add-apt-repository ppa:webupd8team/java
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install oracle-java7-installer
Code:
sudo java -version
-- will display the version of java installed.
Let me know if you need anymore help.
