Ok according to your instructions I'm not rooted, but I'm not understanding why. The gingerbreak looks to have worked when i did it. Should I try rooting again?
got him rooted and flashed the custom recovery
Just thought i would make a note and disable antivirus and close out all programs except the guide and the cmd prompt when rooting (error's went a way after we did that for splinter067)
How did you do that jcwxguy

The easiest way is to flash one of the two available roms, in either zefie's (Scott Pilgrim) or pfer10's (AOSPCMod) threads. Or you can wait a while till gingergread is officially released for the Optimus and I'm sure KSmith, et. al., will be making a rom based on it.
I'm trying to follow the guide on how to do this for a Mac, and am running into a lot of problems. Can anyone with the know how to get this taken care of PM me? Every time I follow the instructions and I try to initiate the process it tells me the directory can't be found.![]()
What directory specifically can't be found?

Never mind, I updated something and now I got to the part where it says Daemon started successfully. But when I go to paste the code in it says that permission is denied.
* daemon not running. starting it now on port 5037 *
* daemon started successfully *
$ adb push rageagainstthecage-arm5.bin /data/local/tmp/rageagainstthecage
adb: permission denied
$ adb push su /data/local/tmp/
adb: permission denied
$
are you using a mac? why is there a $ sign ?
Yes, I'm using a Mac. And I was under the impression that the $ was indicative of a non-rooted device?

it is indicative of a non rooted device if you are inside adb shell try this
$./adb push adb push rageagainstthecage-arm5.bin /data/local/tmp/rageagainstthecage
You keep getting those "permission denied" errors because you did not follow the instructions in this rooting guide. They specifically say to run "rm -r /data/local/tmp" then "mkdir /data/local/tmp" which essentially gives you write permissions.
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.
You can't run ADB inside an ADB shell.
