[How-To] Root the LG Optimus V
- Maybe this is where I am having problems. I am running Windows XP on an old sony vaio and every time I plug my phone into the USB it pops up with the "new hardware found and mounts it as USB drive. How do I stop this? Should I stop this?
I went through all of the directions and TitaniumBackup is still showing that I do not have it rooted.
SO I'm confused as to where I am going wrong.
Sorry I am a completely new to any of this. Any help will be appreciated.02-13-2011 07:49 PMLike 0 -
Sounds like you may have forgotten to unzip the attached file into your platform-tools directory. Browse to that directory and verify that the files are there before you start. Let me know if that's not the problem.02-13-2011 07:52 PMLike 0 - Good point. Occasionally third party tools such a Titanium Backup require the use of busybox to do their thing. I'm not sure what kind of permissions they require. Did you try this by using 555, and if so, did it work?02-13-2011 07:54 PMLike 0
- My best guess is that your USB drivers did not install correctly. Try uninstalling them and re installing them according to the directions in the first post. Someone else with XP reported a problem earlier in the thread, and I told them to try to the same thing. I didn't hear back whether it worked or not. It may just be a problem on XP.
Does anyone know how to get root using MAC?
I'm running snow leopard and I can't find any threads about using a Mac to root an android.02-13-2011 08:19 PMLike 0 -

HERE is site that has a little information about how to use psneuter (which is the name of the program SuperOneClick runs to give you temporary root access). Do a little research on it and you should be able to crack the phone from a Mac or Linux box as well.02-13-2011 08:34 PMLike 0 - You need to be in the correct folder to run the commands. adb only exists in the platform-tools folder. Type this after you exit:
c:\android\android-sdk-windows\platform-tools\
After that. your prompt should look like:
c:\android\android-sdk-windows\platform-tools>
instead of
c:\users\eric>
then try the adb push command again. Let me know if this works for you.02-13-2011 09:09 PMLike 0 -

Someone with a stock phone, please check this and post the stock versions if they exist.
To save the stock programs, follow step 1 through 3 of RevolutionRed's guide, and do the "cd c:\wherever-your-sdk-tools-folder-is" command in step 4. Then issue the following commands:
adb shell
mount -o remount,rw -t yaffs2 /system /system
exit
adb pull /system/bin/su stock-su
adb pull /system/bin/busybox stock-busybox
remote object '/system/bin/<filename>' does not exist
Thank you thank you!02-15-2011 08:49 PMLike 0 - Does this overwrite any stock files? It's pushing su and busybox. Are either of those being overwritten?

I've had/hacked a Droid 1, HTC Incredible, and Droid X. I'm not able to find much info about the stock kernel that comes on the Opt-V - do you have any idea how much, if any, it can be OC'd?02-16-2011 03:13 AMLike 0

- RevolutionRed got it to 825Mhz
http://forum.androidcentral.com/opti...-beta-2-a.html
with the Droid and Droid X, the stock 2.2 kernel was overclockable, and i prefer to have my phone be straight-up stock with root, and a little OC - I typically don't like messing with custom ROMs (any more, anyway!)
02-16-2011 09:52 AMLike 0 - it sounds like that's a custom kernel, though, not stock

Additionally, for everyone that cares, there's a port of Gingerbread (Android 2.3) for the S that's reported working on the V.02-16-2011 02:39 PMLike 0
