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

what if you have a Mac? will all of this work the same? is there another thread for rooting on a mac?

thanks
 
I've read thru this thread and saw 3 postings about this issue but didn't see an answer.

Optimus S (Android 2.2.2)
Kernel Version 2.6.32.9
SW Version LS670ZVD

I get to ./gingerbreak and it just sits at the flashing bar.
I have tried it 7 or 8 times (removing battery between attempts). No change "Insanity: doing the same thing over and over again and expecting different results" - Albert Einstein

$ chmod 777 /data/local/tmp/*
chmod 777 /data/local/tmp/*
$ /data/local/tmp/gingerbreak
/data/local/tmp/gingerbreak

Any help would be appreciated :-)

Just wanted to give an update incase anyone else is having similar issues to the above.

1) Make sure you have a MicroSD card installed (I don't know if this is related but after I installed the card GingerBreak worked flawlessly.
2) Again not sure if related. But when I got to the point of executing gingerbreak I unlocked the screen lock slider. (I think the issue was #1 but who knows)

Hope this helps others.

Yes, you MUST have the sd card inserted in your phone for this to work

So I went through the guide. I am a pretty new noob at all this. I did do revert to V9 with the help of the forum. But I am not sure if I am ready to try this. I do second the video thing. Reading it. I always miss a step or screw something up. But if I can see how to do it. Makes me more confident. So if anybody got some time I know I would appreciate it. either way I love this site. It totally saved me with my Optimus.

And now I read gingerbread is coming out end of this month should I just stick with the V9 till everything gets sorted out with the root for ginger?

thanks
 
i get an error when i reach step #11...it says "cannot create /system/bin/su: read only file system"....what did i do wrong?
 
read only fs

i get an error when i reach step #11...it says "cannot create /system/bin/su: read only file system"....what did i do wrong?

Sounds like the file system isn't mounted properly, I would double check step 9
