Make sure you follow the instructions exactly, and you should be fine. If you don't understand something ask a question.

Z4root is guaranteed to fail with the latest update for the LG Optimus S. If you really want a one-click solution, you may either use Gingersnap or the GingerBreak APK.

Read through the guide a few times, then follow the directions... (if you still dont have luck, reboot phone and follow the simple method in my signature)

Okay, used the one-click tool... then after nothing Root-wise worked I did the step-by-step as listed here. Everything works fine, got SU running, get the # and all.... Yet STILL CAN NOT get read/write access to system.
IE:
adb remount
adb: permission denied

or

$ adb shell
$ SU
# cd system/bin
cd system/bin
# exit
$ pull bootanimation c:/android/ba/bootanimation
pull bootanimation c:/android/ba/bootanimation
pull: permission denied

I look at the files in superbox on my droid and there's a red X on a lot of the files, everything in system/bin for example. I have custom recovery, quickboot and all that, but I still can't seem to access the system/bin files. I just want... I dunno, boot animations or splashscreens... heck, anything at all you're supposed to be able to do with a rooted phone but I can't get access!

Unfortunately LG decided to shy away from the standard Google way of doing things, which is why things like "adb remount" and fastboot don't work.

Instead of typing "adb remount" do the following:

$ adb shell
$ su
# mount -o remount,rw /system /system

Do not include the $ and # characters, just the commands.
