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

[jcwxguy]

open adb shell and see if you have # if you dont and have $, type su (check your phone for superuser prompt (assuming you have superuser installed) and click allow. if nothing shows up or said denied, then you are not rooted

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?

The exploit can work but if the files are not moved properly after you lose it on reboot

Splinter, if you want to test your root then I suggest that you download a program that uses root such as superuser and Android Terminal and typing su and press enter. It should pop up with superuser if youre rooted. The ROMTools program told me i wasnt rooted when i actually was. If you need help, lemme know

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)

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.

Hmm I see, thanks.

JCW I'm actually going to root one of my friends HTC phones using teamtalk tonight after were off work. She liked what we did with my optimus and wants more control too. Also, once all was said and done, my phone was off the charger for almost 3 hours before my battery dropped under 100%

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.
