Rooting Your Optimus Elite The Easy Way

**curtis1973** · 09-29-2012, 06:37 AM

try uninstalling original superuser and then redownloading from market. ill ask around and see what the cause is.

I turned on usb debugging and then it went though. Give it a try and see if it helps.

update: for anyone having superuser/su binary update issues,here is a flashable zip that can be used in clockwork mod to resolve your root issues.

I don't know if it's just my phone or something but I tried downloading them from the links or whatever, and they WILL NOT download at all.
So I tried going to the app store, the first one downloaded but didn't work. So I tried downloading the second one, and I couldn't even find it in the app store! D:

Both download just fine for me. I'd say just clear your browser cache and try again.

I ran both apks just fine but when I use root checker it tells me the root failed.

I tried superuser and it updated correctly but still tells me "new su" doesn't work...

**kgjohnsjr** · 11-06-2012, 07:21 AM

Is there a recovery for this method yet?..... Just wondering.

There isn't anything that can be done, you have a completely different phone. I don't think we have a section here for it. Check out XDA and see if there is someone there who has your device that can help.

hey curtis! You seem to know what your doing, so i want to root my optimus elite, but not sure of the benefits. also is it possible too get cyanogenmod? i would like to get a more up to date operating system. #totalnoob
