[How-To] Root LG Optimus S

[Kevin OQuinn]

Ahh I might as well, but for newbies like Equ1n0x, it'll help alot

but it takes the fun out of it. plus learning adb will be a big help later when more things are available for this phone.

Still getting the same thing when I try to push the first line..

failed to copy - read only file system

I wish I knew what was wrong...feels like a Vista problem

That's the whole thing? Did you right click, select all, then hit enter to copy it? Then paste it here? Looks like some stuff is missing. I can only help if I have all of the information. Thanks.

Can you type
adb devices

Does it have a print out like this
List of devices attached
77774357229 device <----Doesn't it have numbers there?

Make sure when the instructions say to use a / you use a / and not a \ and vice versa.

Bollocks...

Bollocks...

iamlillysdad is correct ...

Forward slashes tell your computer you're looking for something external to your system. backslashes tell your computer you're looking for something inside your system.

Simply copy and paste what i have in post 1

Thanks to both of you, now I cant seem to get it to give me a #. After the phone disconnects, do I close the SDK manager and restart it to start adb again?

 

[Kevin OQuinn]

during what step?

 

[DygitalGoddess]

during what step?

after ./rageagainstthecage

also should I be getting a $ when I start adb shell?

 

[anon(26204)]

I got it on my 2nd try. One thing I did was when I had to start over, I opened my task manager>processes and ended adb.exe processor. After I did that it worked the second time. I remembered that part from me rooting my Evo.

 

[Kevin OQuinn]

no. after ./rageagainstthecage you should be getting a #

it should do it automatically. don't close the command prompt or anything. just wait for the phone to disconnect and reconnect. it'll do it all on it's own.

as stated in the first post it might take more than one try to get it to take.

 

[DygitalGoddess]

small steps I guess..cant get it to take..
