It's a finicky bit. Took me 3 or 4 tries to get #. If you get $, make sure your phone screen is unlocked and on. Type "su" on your computer. Look at your phone to see if there's something asking you to grant permission. If so, grant permission. If not, try the steps again. For me, su didn't work, I just had to keep trying the copy pasting until I got #.
Also, try "adb kill-server" followed by "adb start-server", then "adb shell", then "su". If not, rinse and repeat.
ok awesome, i finished it, i got the pound sign and went through and finished step 5. so is my phone rooted now? do i have to download and install anything else??
If you've downloaded Superuser from the Market, you're done. Feel free to throw your hands up in glee and squeal.
*do not throw your phone while celebrating.

Look at the other sticky threads in this forum. There's custom recovery, custom ROMs, overclocking, performance improvements, ad blocking, etc, etc...
Personally, I rooted just so I could edit the /system/build.prop in order to enable stagefright and jit. I'll probably also install an ad blocker and roam-only toggle.
Post two of this thread has some ideas..

I'm getting the error "'adb' is not recognized as an internal or external command, operable program or batch file" when I try the
adb push rageagainstthecage-arm5.bin /data/local/tmp/rageagainstthecage command. Can someone tell me what I'm doing wrong? Thanks.

u have to run adb command from android\tools folder. so go to where u downloaded sdk then go into tools folder
If it's the new sdk, its in the android-sdk/platform-tools folder

Yeah I have the new SDK so I should be using the platform-tools folder then, thanks a lot!
I got to the step where you type adb shell and should be getting the # symbol, but I keep getting the $. After the ./rageagainstthecage command should my phone have the USB charging and debugging notification again?
EDIT: nvm it worked all fine after i restarted my phone, thanks

You need to be in C:\android\android-sdk-windows\platform-tools if you have the new sdk

Ok so i just rooted my Lg Optimus S it took about a day til i figured out the problem. The problem i was having is after opening the command propt and typing in the location of my Android-SDK Tools Folder, Then typing in adb push rageagainstthecage-arm5.bin /data/local/tmp/rageagainstthecage
i kept getting ADB isn't recongized as a internal\external command. I have found the problem if you have download the new android SDK, android-sdk_r08-windows.zip it does not have the adb file in it so you have to download it yourself, download adb from here MEGAUPLOAD - The leading online storage and file delivery service
After that extract them into the Tools Folder of the SDK...After you finish you should not be getting the message ADB isn't recongized as a internal\external command...HOPE THIS HELPS

Screen unlocked debug mode etc.I'm on win7 64bit followed all instructions to the tee, read all 34 paes of this forum. Tried rebooting the phone, killing the adb process in between etc. Still same out come.
Running everything as admin.

How long did you wait after ./rageagainstthecage before doing adb shell? Try waiting like 10 minutes.
