Help! Error message while rooting Optimus Slider?

[coolmanz1]

Hey everyone, I have some issues with rooting. I have the Optimus Slider and I can't get it to root. I downloaded drivers from the LG website(trying to figure out which ones work), and unistalled, tried another from a recommened direct link and so on to try to find a fix. All of the drivers I tried, installed succesfully and worked fine to what I know. I downloaded the LG_Esteem Root which everybody says works, from this site... LG Esteem OneClickRoot NOW READY!! | AndroidNerds.net. I connect my phone, turn on USB Debugging, and selected USB charge only. Run the bat file(will explain later on) select enter to root, to produce an error. Then I tried using "Mass Storage USB" with the same error. STEPS I DID UNTILL ERROR: Once I have one of the options selected, my phones connected. I open the LG_Esteen_Root-1.zip file, and select the run.bat. Once opened, I "press enter to root my phone." Then I get this message, "Waiting for Device", underneath it says 'adb' is not recognized as an internal or external command, operable program or batch file. Then it repeats the error, Says "Device Found". Underneath it says "Pushing exploit binary". Then the 'abd' error appears again. It keeps on doing this, acting like it's working but always producing this error message. Then at the bottom it says Root Complete, Enjoy! Press any key to exit. Then I exit, and nothing happened with my phone. I have tried this many times with no prevail. If anyone knows a solution or has any ideas, please message me or post on the forum. I tried to explain this as much as possible without trying to confuse you, I can explain more if you need the informantion. Thanks!

Did you download the drivers from the link in the thread about how to root the phone? Those are the ones that work correctly.

Try this link, it works for me. LG Esteem OneClickRoot NOW READY!! | AndroidNerds.net It says it is for LG Esteem but works very well for Optimus slider.

Quick check. Do not download and install the esteem drivers. If you did uninstall them. This could be the case.

I would advise following this tutorial TO THE LETTER, seriously, read everything. It worked perfectly for me.

Also, uninstall the LG Esteem drivers, or whatever drivers you may have already installed. You need the drivers located in the following tutorial.
