/sdcard#/system/bin/chmod 777 /sdcard/rageagainstthecage
/dbin/dh:/system/bin/chmod: not found

wtf... place tell where you place the files i got them all in platform-tools in my tools folder

Where are you typing those commands?

In the adb shell?

Did you run the V8->V9 update.zip?

 

[sfhub]

I was able to start an ADB session, but I cannot complete the root process if I can't see to go to the market place and install SuperUser.

You can just put SuperUser.apk into /system/app by hand. You don't need market place to install it.

yes im doing it in adb shell but i tried update zip and it didnt work... i thought it was just to update it to optimums s latest update witch i have

 

[G1Prawl]

just used update.zip and it says verifying update package...
then,
no signature (199 files)
verification failed

 

[drewwalton19216801]

That's the point. Did you read the entire guide? It clearly states that the update.zip will produce an expected error and is used to trigger the mounting of the system partition.

 

[G1Prawl]

ahhh okay... sorry about that i just skipped the step because it said it would error, sory for my lack of wanting to read i just wanna get this fixed, anywho how do i get my error to be fixed then,
/sdcard#/system/bin/chmod 777 /sdcard/rageagainstthecage
/dbin/dh:/system/bin/chmod: not found

 

[drewwalton19216801]

Can you post the EXACT commands you entered before that one?

 

[G1Prawl]

ok
cd C:\android-sdk_r10-windows\android-sdk-windows\tools\platform-tools
adb push rageagainstthecage-arm5.bin /sdcard/rageagainstthecage
adb push su /sdcard/su
adb push busybox /sdcard/busybox
adb shell
cd /sdcard

 

[sfhub]

could post the output of

cd /system/bin
./ls -l chmod

Yes. I launched the LG Updater, then connected the phone via USB, then clicked the red update button on the updater. At least I can use the phone now until I figure out what to do next.

I went back to vc by using the lg updater and now i want to start over again hopefully i will have some success!

 

[G1Prawl]

can someone help me with this problem?

hey what does it mean when i cant get into recovery mode? Ever since i updated back to vc i cant boot up into recovery mode to repeat the rooting process. Any suggestions. I get a blank screen when i do the volume up home and power button deal after the lg screen logo

This does not seem to be working for me:

9) Run rageagainstthecage (this will disconnect and reconnect your device twice, let it sit for a minute to make sure)

Quote:
./rageagainstthecage


Here is what i get in cmd prompt. It only does it once not twice. If I continue with the process I do gain root (# symbol). However, the last step of rebooting loses root. Any suggestions?

$ ./rageagainstthecage

What do you mean "it loses root"?

 

[athanos]

meaning after reboot when i go to adb shell it has $ not #

 

[drewwalton19216801]

Well yeah, you're supposed to install Superuser and it will allow you to gain root access.

1) After rebooting, install Superuser from the Market. This is the very last step in the guide which you apparently failed to read.
2) After installing Superuser, enter "adb shell" in a command prompt. YOU WILL NOT HAVE THE POUND SIGN YET!!!
3) Within the ADB shell, enter the "su" command. Make sure your phone screen is ON and NOT LOCKED. Superuser will prompt you to allow su permissions. Allow it.

It's vol down, not vol up.

Power + Vol- + Home

Sorry thats what i meant volume down. My wife has the exact phone as i do and i check here sdcard files and her system files. I noticed a file called recovery-from boot.p. I check my system files and didnt notice that there at all. Im wondering if this is the reason i cant boot into recovery. Is there a way i can copy that file from hers and add it to my sysyems files to get recovery mode back?
