Maybe your download was corrupted?

[anon(92556)]

trying root without booting into recovery..it's stuck. i'll boot into recovery, and try again.

fwiw, using gingerbreak via adb.

Theoreticaly you should still be on ZV9 recovery right now. If so, you should be able to use these instructions to root (make sure you read the RED sections):

http://forums.androidcentral.com/lg...-guide-rooting-software-version-ls670zvc.html

Start the instructions at "This guide assumes you have added the Android SDK tools directory to your PATH variable"

Again, this is all "in theory" as I don't have an Optimus handy to try it out. Be prepared for hiccups.

- exec '/system/bin/sh' failed: no such file or directory (2)

can't get into adb shell from recovery.

You are now LEGEND! Bask in your glory! Make a very very good write and also flash back to a custom recovery and include those steps so we can have some real fun!

wow! im lost lol is the update as simple as placing the zip in ur SD and flashing it?

 

[anon(92556)]

only if you're still using stock recovery. if not, you have to flash back to v9 recovery, and root it using the old rageagainstthecage root method from the v9 days.

Eh. Yes and No. Sounds like what you are looking for is a custom rom. Just hang out for a couple of days and see what the devs are able to come up with!

you have to flash stock recovery back on, then force flash the software (V9) on both accounts (hoping you have an older lcd screen)
