Can't root Optimus V 2.2.2?

[TavisC]

Hi everyone. Sorry to start a new thread, but I've been having a TON of trouble with rooting my Optimus V. I've read the stickies, and nothing seems to work for me. I just got this phone today, and I was hoping to install a custom ROM. The problem I'm having is that when I run SuperOneClick, it ends up freezing on me, every time. I get through two parts-killing ADB server, and then running ABD server. It hangs up on running it, telling me "daemon not running, starting it now on port 5...." After that the program freezes, and I have to Ctrl-Alt-Delete it. I have the drivers (what I assume are the newest/correct ones, I used the links in the stickies for the drivers,) and I've tried using different versions of SOC, plus running it as admin/compatibility mode. I'm at a complete loss as to what to do, or how to proceed from here. Any ideas?

This should help.You'll probably need to take a look at the recovery section as well. Good luck!

I just did mine for the first time yesterday, and i just used Gingersnap to root my phone, its a quick plug in and click the root button type program. Thats the easiest way i know of.

After that, the flashing of any rom is the easiest part, well after you figure it out for the first time, its alot easier than you think.

Thanks celeste, I checked out the link, and I finally got my phone rooted+rom'd, thanks to you. I've got to say, I'm loving it so far.
