Help me save/root my optimus v

Try this enable USB debugging from developers menu then power down then hold volume down + home + power. Phone should Boot into recovery. Try plugging in USB and connecting to adb from here in the recovery.

I was meaning try the USB hub if you have one around somewhere. Some phones won't connect on high-speed USB ports all the time so with the hub in-between to slow things down it may work but I'd try to ADB while in recovery first

i do have one, but like i said in OP it did work when i originally bought the phone, but has since ceased

tried hub, no dice

How long have you had the phone again? If it's been less than a year, VM might replace it for you.

I was looking for help with this same issue today. I don't know if you're still stumped. I used How to Install & use unsigned drivers in Windows Vista/7 x64 - TechSpot Forums to force the ADB driver to be recognized. Now I can see my phone.

I'm following http://forums.androidcentral.com/op...date-now-rooted-thanks-jcase.html#post1671696 as I reply, and so far it's working.
