Newest Optimus V unrootable?

[Jason_25]

I have just bought a replacement Optimus V from Bestbuy. I have previously rooted my old Optimus V bought in August with the latest zergRush. Unfortunately, my replacement will not root with any method I have tried. zergRush does not automatically restart adb and any attempts to log in with adb are met with error: closed. Fastboot is locked, of course.

A person with the same problems and conclusion is here:

Is this phone truly unrootable right now?

If so, is this the only unrootable Android phone currently?

If so, what are the chances the Motorola Triumph will be patched this way? I wanted to exchange for one but not if it is going to be locked up too.

Edit:
Success! I was able to get a version of gingerbreak to work. Thanks for the input.

What's with the repeats? The V is not unrootable, old or new. Read the simplified how-to sticky on this forum.

GingerBreak has been verified to root stock ROM 2.2.2 & older. May need multiple tries, give each attempt 10 minutes before hard power cycle.

I'm receiving a new OV in a couple of days. Bought it for my sister in law for x-mas. Once it arrives, I'll be rooting and installing IHO on it, so I'll be able to post the method I use to root it.

I've used gingerbreak 1.2 on two different OV's, purchased in the last two months.
One I bought last week when it was on sale, for my woman... It had a slightly newer firmware version than the last one I bought, but gingerbreak worked just fine for me.

Another important point: do NOT use ROM Manager

Gingerbreak did mine fine had to search for it on google with the phone and install it from the web but it rooted mine just can't get it to communicate with my comp
