anyone got the linux version working?

i'm running GingersnapRoot-Linux on Ubuntu 11.04; however the tool grayed out after clicking Root and no response after... what's the problem?

You need to have some patience. Just let it sit for a minute.

Used this over the weekend for a friend's phone. Great job drew!

Used it with Windows xp. Process was smooth. If you go to LG website and goto mobile phone section and find our phone, there is a download link for the drivers right there. Quick and easy install and root. This is nice for the noobs or when there isn't much time.

Download LG Mobile Support Tool to PC

(after that is installed, click on the were it says usb drivers, make sure usb debugging is enabled)

Thanks! Big help!

EDIT::::: GOT IT. Sorry!!! Thank you for the awesome thread btw !!! and all the helpful posts. you guys all rock




sorry for the stupid question,


i am in the middle of this , and i also have been on the STEALING GINGERS SOUL for a little over 10min now without anything on my phone screen.
i have drivers installed, have rebooted multiple times and tried again.
usb debugging is ON.
usb storage is Off (i think?) - do i need to EXPLICITLY turn this off? or is it off automatically if i dont turn it on?

if i need to explicitly turn it off...how do i do this?! i couldnt find anything to turn it off and i tried googling it too....thank you for the help!!!!

I've run it, but I still don't have su? I've turned off then on several times and still no su....My phone works, but my menu has changed as well as a few other things...any idea what i've done or what I need to do next? thx.

Very clean - took a few times (didn't have the driver / couldn't find usb debugging) but I was simply being impatient. Read, & reread then it all started to make sense. Great documentation.

thanks & glad to take part.

Excuse me, but my phone seems to be stuck on the android screen, then goes black during the "stealing the gingers soul". Sorry to disturb you guys!

 

[jcwxguy]

Thanks! Big help!

Lots of people ask where to get the drivers

 

[Lyneku]

Never mind. Thanks so much everyone!

Ok I'm a total newb to all this rooting stuff. I just rooted using this method and everything seemed to work. Does anyone know what the next step would be to able to do custom recovery and roms??? I'm pretty lost, and don't even really know where to start. Any help would be appreciated.

Next is to work on your Custom Recovery.. With custom recovery you can back up and install a new ROM. Go to the Xionia CWMA thread and start reading. Hit me up on Gtalk if you need more help or just someone to walk ya thru it.


EDIT: Here is the link

After this you will choose a ROM.

ok so i did this and everything but after gingersnap said my phone soul was taken etc, it did not restart...

 

[jondevere]

then the soul was not stolen... try again

This method sometimes requires several tries before it works! But before each try do a clean reboot!

rooted my phone with this method just now...quick and easy i must say. i did have to do it 2 times though (didn't have the drivers installed the first time, that or my antivirus was messing with it). i wanted to jump up and down when superuser came up! thanks!

[INFO]Gingersnap Root Utility for Mac OS X is in the near future! Check the first post of this thread for more information as well as a sneak preview screenshot![/INFO]

Please forgive the ignorance...but I rooted the phone and installed titanium backup....I read if that will load the phone is rooted...is that correct?

I am now trying to get the clockwork whatever....how do I get it to my sd card?

also my phone does not look any different....still says I am running 2.2.2....how/where do I get the 2.2.3 at?

I am totally new to this.

Rooting changes nothing in appearance or behavior of the phone. You should now have superuser installed. That is the only real difference. From here you need to install a custom recovery, I suggest zefies xionia recovery. I would suggest ath3nos cm7 rom for 2.3.4 cyanogenmod gingerbread
