[Q] Downgrade to 1.32 Stock..

Hey Guys,
First of all i want to say i`ve read many posts in the ..
[GUIDE] How to downgrade 1.7x/1.8x/2.x to 1.32.405.6 .. thread and i saw that there are some other guys which have the same problem like me.. but i couldn`t find an answer to the Problem till yet..
I elate all the requirements and did the Gingerbread step by step ( Software Version 2.36.207.16)..
My microSD is a Goldcard an i have the PD98IMG in my root directory on my SD Card..
When i follow the cmd steps it runs very well till i get to the part where the '#' should come because of the root access.. but it doesn`t .. instead of the '#', i have a '$'.. although i did all the chmod steps for access and so on.. when i try the next step " ./data/local/tmp/GingerBreak".. my console looks like this(attached) and stands still with the " vold: 1232 GOT start: 0x00014360 GOT end: 0x000143a0" line.. because of this i can`t execute the Step 3 lines while hanging in the loop.. so when i restart my DHD in Bootloader Mode i get the Failure "Main Version Older!" because of not doing the Step 3..
I hope u can help me .. thx for every comment..

[GUIDE] [TOOL] Rooting the "First ICS 4.0.4 Full 3D ROM Ported From SU760"

UPDATE: This didn't work for me on the official ICS ROM. YMMV.
I did try this guide:
[GUIDE] [SU760] How to ROOT V29C/D ICS
but it didn't work for me...
So I tried the script posted here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=31963526&postcount=532
and it worked really well!
Steps
--------------
* Get version 1.2 of adb_restore_rooting if you can't unpack v1.6 with your current unzipper
* Unpack the archive
* Turn on USB debugging on your phone (Developer options)
* Execute rooting.bat
* Follow the instructions on screen
* When it says "Done!", press return on your PC and it should complete the process.
Note: For those who really want to use v1.6, install 7-zip (http://www.7-zip.com/). Thanks MoYo!
thanx bro.
Cheers mate first method failed for me also this worked a treat wkpark strikes again
Just to be correct, before to call a method "failed" maybe should be more important to know pre-requisites and why for some people may look to fail.
Anyway yes it's more easy with an automatic script

Indeed. I got the exact same message over and over.
I think the script from wkpark does a better job cleaning things up before trying to root it again.
This method is easier well done.
Help please
For a simpleton such as myself can someone please give me a step by step on how to make this work?
It seems I need Linux to run a SH file? Alot to ask but can someone let me know how to do this on windows7 please
This Softbricked my phone, when I tried to restart it.

I've updated the instructions, the sh file was a mistake
Worked like a charm, thank you!
Worked perfect, thanks.
For those who have problems with the v1.6 of the archive -> Try 7-zip (http://www.7-zip.com/)
It's packed with 7-zip and you can extract it with it

I did get this once. I set the USB setting to LG software and let it settle. No idea if this is a requirement.

Same here, tried it the second time now with 1.2. After hitting the restore button on the device, the console on pc said that rooting failed.
Then after trying to restart it gets stuck after the LG logo at a black screen.
Edit: Last try with 1.6 now.
Edit 2: Nah, still don't work. The error-log says this: "remote object '/data/local.prop' does not exist"

[Q] Xperia L problem: reboot when using root features

Hi there,
I have an boot loader locked Xperia L, and I tried the following link's instructions to root my device.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=44647265&postcount=19
After finished, I tried some root features(trying to modify the HOSTS file in \etc ) with root file manager apps.
But when I'm writing new hosts files into the \etc, the device reboot and failed to write. It also reboot if i tried to mount the \etc as r/w.
then I tried again the tutorial of the above mention link, then I found that at the last procedure of supersu.bat , there is a warning "rm failed for -rf, no such file or directory. " -Does this cause the reboot problem?
Thank you for your attention!
