Ok for some reason I don't understand the "Prepare the /data/local/tmp directory with write permissions." Is that directory on the phone itself? If so I only have a data folder and no local/tmp even with hidden folders revealed. Should I make a local/tmp folder? And if so how do I prepare it with write permissions?

That's just telling you what the next commands are going to do....If I were you I copy and paste each command line in order making sure to hit enter after each command.....

First post...be gentle.

I have never rooted/jailbroke/etc any phone so I am nervous to say the least. But the fact that the WIFI hotspot is disabled irks me enough that i want to try this!

The 'adb is not a valid command' error seems to be that you are not in the right directory in cmd. Please post the exact steps you are taking and we can help a little better. If you are in the right directory and it takes the adb command but gives you the 'device not found' error then you need to make sure you have the phone drivers on your computer. This can be done with the LG Updater Tool. If you do have the drivers, type 'adb kill-server'. Unplug your phone. Plug the phone back in and type 'adb devices'. You should see the adb server start up and then get a list of your device. If you still can't get it, post everything you are doing so that we can look at it and determine what the problem may be.

Take a deep breath..... There are plenty of people here to help you if you find yourself in trouble. As long as you follow the steps exactly you will be fine. Read them over and ask for clarification before you start doing it. If you have an understanding of what is happening you will be less nervous about the process.

Just walked a friend through the process, and it went great. Thanks to the author, and thanks to The Android Exploit Crew for GingerBreak (and RAtC back in the day, of course).

All the best,

rageagainstthecage-arm5.bin is not included. gingerbreak is. And technically they are both malware because they EXPLOIT the Android kernel. This has been discussed so many times it's not even funny.

hey why wont it let me get the root file at the bottom!?!?!?

I suck at this. Why when i run this it does not work for me. I was tech savvy 10 years ago. Which means I am screwed now. I have downloaded all required tools and still not working. help.

Mod Edit - Made a little more family friendly. Please refrain from swearing on the forums. Thanks.

Ok I did just like you said with the adb kill-server and adb devices. Now for some reason it says list of devices and there's nothing after that, it just goes back to the directory. I put in adb shell again and still device not found.
EDIT: I also did what you said about the LG Updater Tool and still nothing.
Ok step by step of what I am doing, I extracted my files to this folder:
C:\Users\Rob\Documents\Games\Droid hack
That is where all of my files are. I open up cmd.exe and type "cd C:\Users\Rob\Documents\Games\Droid hack" and it changes the directory to that. So then I type in "adb shell" and I get a "error: device not found". And that is as far as I can get

Wow you know I thought I had to have usb storage turned on. Also what is this debugging thing you're talking about? Still no device found but it might be because of whatever debug mode is. Thanks for bearing with me this long guys XD
EDIT: Do I have to do the android SDK to system path step? It says it's no longer relevant though so I skipped it.
