I keep getting download is a corrupted zip file.

Re: [How-To] Rooting LS670ZVD with GingerBreak (no reverting and

you are not trying to extract the zip are you?
you need to load the zip file onto your SD card.

Looking at wrong file sorry!
most zip files you keep uncompressed on your SD card.

Step 2 says..... "Change to the directory where you extracted the files from OptimusRootZVD.zip"

Yes. I was trying to see what is in the file before I moved it over. It says it is "Invalid or corrupted".

* Update *Redownloaded, changed the name at download and it came intact.... back in business.

**(Update)** Read through ~50 posts and came up with the phone needing an sd card installed. Pulled a "music" card from my work phone and inserted it. Gingerbreak started counting up and seems to be continueing.

Below is my first attempt. It seems stuck on that last line. What is Gingerbreak telling me?

C:\OptimusRootZVD>dir

Update, I pulled the battery and SD card and tried again. Now it displays this and sits forever:

$ cd /data/local/tmp
cd /data/local/tmp

In my case it hung like that because I didn't have an sd card in.

Squeezer just didn't know what he was doing. I was able to root it in less than 3 minutes.

Now downloading titanium backup for him and gonna do the preliminary things to loading a custom rom for him.

Re: [How-To] Rooting LS670ZVD with GingerBreak (no reverting and

This is all I did on my LG Optimus when trying to push items through terminal on my mac.

It would be much easier if you just used regular terminal on your mac instead of using the emulator.

# mount -o remount,rw -t yaffs2 /dev/block/mtdblock5 /system
# cat /sdcard/flash_image > /system/bin/flash_image
# chmod 755 /system/bin/flash_image
# mv /system/etc/install-recovery.sh /system/etc/install-recovery.sh.bak
# mount -o remount,ro -t yaffs2 /dev/block/mtdblock5 /system
# flash_image recovery /sdcard/<CUSTOM RECOVERY IMG>
# reboot recovery

Where it says "CUSTOM RECOVERY IMG" you would type your recovery image that is on your ROOT directory of your SD Card. If you see any errors after inputting this " # mv /system/etc/install-recovery.sh /system/etc/install-recovery.sh.bak" don't worry, it's normal.

Also, as far as the "#" sign before each line, that's NOT something you type, that's just for clarification of what you will see in the terminal window

Re: [How-To] Rooting LS670ZVD with GingerBreak (no reverting and

Hey guys I'm trying to root my phone ( my main reasoning is because I hate all the Sprint Bloatware on it) and I want to get my phone going. Any suggestions? I downloaded the gingersnap and the requirments that drew posted but my phone still isn't rooted. I've used rootchecker to see if I have SU access and it says I don't with a list of a lot of things like shukoofuno or somethin is the thing that is installed instead. I would surely appreciate some help.

Re: [How-To] Rooting LS670ZVD with GingerBreak (no reverting and

What does that mean?

Re: [How-To] Rooting LS670ZVD with GingerBreak (no reverting and

Just out of curiosity, when i extract from the zip to my "other"folder, it shud then have ADB, busybox, su, gingerbreak, and superuser, correct? cuz um. mine ONLY has busybox.:-! and i need help, no other root system has worked for me as of yet... to include gingersnap, z4root, superoneclick, and gingerbreak.apk

edit: my current folder to which i extract is the platform-tools folder, simply because it contains adb already and allows my accessing of the shell. any help wud be greatly appreciated, this is the ONLY phone ive had that i cudnt root so far.

wow, i'm a tech virgin when it comes to this stuff, it took me a while but i finally got my computer and phone to cooperate, awesome!!!!... now what? i have a few apps that requested a root already taken place, so they seem to working well... juice defender, appinstaller, and astro, now i need to know what are some sweet apps i can put on here... plz open for suggestions... and by the way, some of the folks that post on here (the ones with the answers...) you are b.a. in my book, im not a programmer so there is a lot of greek in here. thanks tho keep up the good stuff

Re: [How-To] Rooting LS670ZVD with GingerBreak (no reverting and

Thanks for this guide, I've been hesitant to root but this was pretty easy. I don't know if it's been mentioned in this thread but I had to wipe my SD card before gingerbreak would run successfully - I kept getting the [-] sendmsg() failed? line until I did that.
