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

[Mista_J]

I tried that but nothing happens.

I got it! I was trying to save it after I expanded it. You have to tap and hold from the message in order to copy to sd card.

Took many, many tries, but I'm finally rooted! Recovery is installed and nandroid backup created. Thanks for all the helpful posts

This IS the cmd/manual rooting method. You posted the same thing in the Gingersnap thread. Please provide more details, simply saying "it didn't work" helps nobody.

Much Agree!!!

Awesome work. You are truly a god among men. Thank you very much.

Thank you! Much agree! I am finally getting this stuff to make sense to my buzzing brain.

Followed Each Direction. Restarts But Not ROOT!.

Ok, I have followed the directions from top to bottom.
The Phone restarts after it takes it's soul.
Then I wait for it to turn back on and then i click adb.exe it runs through command codding really fast and exits. I then look at my phone and their is no super suer or anything.

Please help.
I am not new at this stuff just this problem.

I'm a NOOB, and am a bit confused on how you jump from windows file system "C:\whatever directory\*.zip" to the linux file system on your phone. When I connect the USB, I'm assuming I seeing some kind of samba share on the SD card. If someone can spare a minue, could you give a little of clarification...thanks so much! )

ok, for the benefit of other NOOB's, I had to go into setting, applications, development, debugging...which caused windows to prompt me to goto LG and get the drivers...once they were installed...whalaa, it is starting to work, just like these "BRILLIANT" people are showing us...

Thank you "BRILLIANT" People for blazing the trail! )

Thanks, great post

I have tried to download the root.zip file from about 3 different android sites and they all come up as corrupt. Any ideas why this might be, and how to get around it?

Why are you downloading it from sites other than Android Central?
