[How-To] Rooting LS670ZVD with GingerBreak (no reverting and OTA works too!)

[jvato]

"The su, busybox and gingerbreak binaries as well as the Superuser app are included in OptimusRootZVD.zip, which is attached to this post."

Can someone please tell me where this file"OptimusRootZVD.zip" is attached at?

Try looking at the bottom of the first post, where attachments are placed.

Rule 4 (and 3 and 2 and 1) only apply to the Gingersnap thread but it works

never got the revert to work within fusion. had to load into bootcamp. then used KSmithInNY's tutorial for V9 version. after reverting, it only took me 5 minutes worth of work to get the root to take. what a waste of a day.

Thanks everybody, now enjoying Minfreemanager, CacheMate, SetCpu, and time to start installing custom roms.

Sorry to hear you weren't able to get it to work in Fusion but thanks for trying it out so others know now.
Enjoy root and whatever rom you choose to run

 

[jondevere]

I would recommend RebornROM IMO

what are u trying to do????

 

[jcwxguy]

you skipped step 9 AND 10

 

[jcwxguy]

9) Mount the /system partition read-write

mount -o remount,rw -t yaffs2 /system /system

10) Change to the /data/local/tmp directory

cd /data/local/tmp

 

[v0mitr0n]

picasticks,

how'd you get it to work on the 4th try? Is it just a matter of persistence? If it fails should I restart my phone and try again?

[-] sendmsg() failed?

Been having a problem updating my friends phone, he keeps getting the above error. We'll try pulIing the battery next time around. Maybe "pull battery restart" should be part of step #8?

I also noticed that everytime this happens, the SDcard is showing as unmounted. It's showing as mounted up until gingerbreak, then after running the ./gingerbreak command the "[-] sendmsg() failed?" errors happen and the SDCard shows as unmounted. Weird. We tried other SDCards, same problem.
Maybe this whole thing is related to the funky SDCard issues some of these phones seems to have.

i know you know what your doing, but try the simple method in my signature. Its fast and hasnt failed yet (that i know of)

I suggested that to him .. and at this point we probably will.

But, you know, the challenge of defeating manual input failure is much more fun!

I'll let you know how it turns out.

 

[symbiance]

i got as far as step 12, it says permissions failed..

booted up in recovery and no option to make back up?
it shows:
reboot system now
apply sdcard:update.zip
wipe data/factory reset
wipe cache partition

what did i do wrong?

I'm not sure off the top of my head why step 12 is failing for you, maybe drew or someone else will know.
In regards to the backup, the rooting process doesn't give you custom recovery so once you have rooted you will still need to install custom recovery such as xionia before you will have the backup options, custom recovery is touched/mentioned after step 14. Good luck

you did push su and busy box to correct places right? (just wanting to make sure)

challenges are fun...to a certain point lol

 

[adb927]

So I am thinking of rooting my optimus. I have been reading a lot on it lately as I am a noob. Still kind of leery. One thing I am not sure of is the usb debugging? Is that done on the phone or computer? Can I just copy and paste the instructions?
