If this phone can be rooted, what can be done with it? You can't uninstall the bloat ware, what are the benefits of rooting if that is not the intent?

A lot can be done if this phone can be rooted, for starters you CAN uninstal/freeze bloatware, you can run apps which require root access, if someone creates CWM we could flash custom roms, I am not sure this phone is going to get the development support for CWM or root

I recently got 2 LG MyTouch, and I definitely want to get it rooted, but looks like the phone is too recent for a hack to be available. I will wait patiently for information, since so far, all the posted methods are not working. Thanks in advance to everyone working on this!

Exactly what i was thinking.
Guess i have to wait a little but hopefully there will be a way to root this phone soon.

[Update]
can i use the superoneclick method to root it?

Success Rooting MyTouch.....Credit goes to Eamondaly_junior member on XDA

I Have Confirmed It Works

After several attempts to root via SuperOneClick 2.2, I tried something totally random from another LG rooting thread that seems to have worked. Install ADB, then do:

C:\adb> adb shell
$ echo 1 > /data/local/lge_adb.conf
$ exit

Then run SuperOneClick 2.2 and it should root properly.

Yes I did it the other day with unlockroot21 which can be found here [Only registered users can view links. ] and I watched this video before doing it [Only registered users can view links. ] I watched the video because on the unlock site it didn't say anything about the E739. I have been searching for awhile. I'm new to rooting and it was simple as all get out. My problem now is I can't find a ROM for it. Hope this helps. Merry Christmas, Shep
