[HOW-TO] Root the Optimus 3D

[Jerry Hildenbrand]

Piece of cake.

• Make sure you have an SD card mounted
• Turn on USB debugging
• Turn on Unknown sources
• Go to XDA and download the latest Gingerbreak.apk
• Install it
• Run it

BOOM. Root.

EDIT: Appears this was closed on production models. See post 3 from RobinM for details.

Unfortunately it looks like Gingerbreak cannot root the Optimus 3D. I have had it running for an hour now (!) and it is still trying to apply the exploit.

It just stays on the rotating circle thingy.

Ha-har it would seem that SuperOneClick 1.9.5 has rooted it though.

worked just fine on mine. Must be a change from the pre-production units

 

[RobinM]

Very possibly... there was even an update waiting when I got the production release!

 

[Jerry Hildenbrand]

I guess it's good they patched the kernel. As long as they don't start trying to block access

Thanks for the update!

When try n to run superoneclick it dont give me th option to run as "admin".waiting for device is all it says.

 

[jball32]

I am on O2 (UK) The phone is unbranded in any way. Is anyone else getting a message that there is a firmware update... but once you download it it says 'Invalid Software Package'

I am on firmware version 10D at the moment.

[Mohamed Mostafa1]

does it take alot of time?

 

[Jerome Abellar]

yeah i do the same things.. yet still not working

 

[m4l1ce]

My software version is p925g30c andriod 4.0.4, I had this phone rooted but then I used the LG auto upgrade to 4.0.4 and the superuser programs dont work and I lost root access. Root Browser still works for some reason. I have tried everything possible to root this phone and I cant figure it out. I cant flash a new rom either because the rom manager wont work without root.
