Also, why are you trying to use RageAgainstTheCage? If you are on ZVC or ZVD, that will never work. This guide says to use gingerbreak and nothing else, so I suggest you don't try anything else.

That might have been my fault - I think I directed him/her to a post about getting Android SDK and adb installed on a Mac, but it was part of an older rooting thread that used RATC. I should have mentioned that once adb was working to head back here.

@ Drew later ill pm you with a new file that will help streamline the root process.
And
A workable method for mac

Fantastic. PM me on Google Talk though, not here. GTalk address in your PM box.

No harm, no foul

Can't decide whether you get a round of applause or a golf clap

stuck on the guide

hi im stuck on step 3) Prepare the /data/local/tmp directory with write permissions (THIS IS REQUIRED!) how do i do that, im new to this and would like any help possible... thanks

 

[blackops1125]

where do you get the Latest android SDK and adb shell from? This is why i need a one click method. I can not even get the files i need for the computer. seems like after i get those set up it wil be that simple! what are all the files i need to even start this process. where do i get the lg tools or usb drivers? Is there a one file that contains all of those or do i have to go and hunt them all down! Help Please!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

[jess12321]

I just went through the whole process, and it seemed to finish up nicely. I haven't bricked my phone, but I can't get back to the root shell. I tried the su command and it just says "Permission denied."

I have the Optimus s with Android 2.2.2 and SW version LS670ZVD.

Is this the right process for me? Do I need to do it again?

 

[NO_SPRK]

ok i have a few problems if someone can help.

first off i did install the lg drivers and my phone hooks up to my computer fine.

This guide assumes you have added the Android SDK tools directory to your PATH variable. Instructions for Windows 2000/XP can be found here. Instructions for Windows Vista/7 can be found here. With the latest version of the Android SDK, the default tools folder is "platform-tools" which is in the "Android\android-sdk-windows" folder in Program Files. With some versions of the Android SDK the default tools folder is simply "tools" which is in the "Android\android-sdk-windows" folder in Program Files. Your mileage may vary.

i really dont understand this part. and the instructions? wtf? i have no idea how to do that.

when i downloaded the tools and tried to install them using the program i couldnt because i got a error saying i need the java development tools. well when i tried to download the tools i cant find a 32bit version. sooo im stuck

so i cant even get past step one... im running windows XP

[kalex]

Sweet. I just got this phone from best buy so the update is an older one. might be a v 9. I might just exchange it and see

 

[NO_SPRK]

When I got it I updated it sadly.

Thanks so much man.
Deffinantly keeping a close eye on this thread, im excited to root this thing. But the whole sdk stuff is prooven to complicated for a dummy like me.

 

[blackops1125]

Man you guys are pure gold, and your getting me all excited if you can make this nice and easy with out the SDK! I am also one of those people that does not have any idea how to get pass step 1 (actually I can not even get to step 1)! It seems like if i knew how & where to get all the files to install SDK the rest of the set up is a snap!

I loved having my Sanyo Zio rooted, i rooted that in the first week I got it! To bad the touchscreen did not work for crap so i brought it back and got the Optimus S.

 

[drewwalton19216801]

Hey guys, I've updated OptimusRootZVD.zip to include Superuser.apk. Install using your favorite file manager.

EDIT: Also includes the adb.exe binary, so you don't need to worry about installing the Android SDK and whatnot.

Thanks DroidXcon!

Thanks so much for your work, I truly appreciate it.

I understand that I dont need to install the sdk or whatnot, but I do not know what to do. Do I still have to follow the original instructions with all the command promps and whatnot? I apologize, I tried reading it a bunch of times but I couldnt understand.

So pretty much Im asking what is the process of rooting since you have altered the files?

Ps: if I can get it working I will buy you a beer

 

[stlarenas]

So can't get past step 8

it runs but never stops...just a continuous - sendmsg <> failed?

I tried both the ./gingerbreak and
/data/local/tmp/gingerbreak commands.

Any suggestions on how to troubleshoot the problem?
