i got the pone on the first day, rooted it in tmobs loby before even leaving the store. all was well.
a couple days ago i started getting force close on some apps that require root. but not all of them.last night i couldnt get any of them to run, so i reflashed the root update, got it working on most apps, but i cant get su access via adb.
i have the latest drivers from samsung phones in debug mode, and it connects to adb, but it wont grant permission. ???
what am i doing wrong?
why did root quit?
why is root working thru terminal but not adb?
update.
i got thinking, i re opened terminal, typed su, it requested permision again, granted it. i then entered adb and su access thru adb now works... ?
aaaaagggghhhh... i had been trying since last night....

Hi, I just purchased the new LG myTouch (all myTouches are now made by LG) from tmobile and I have been trying to root it with no luck. I have been trying to use superoneclick but it always gets to step 7 and stops working. I made sure my SD card is unmounted, the phone has USB debugging turned on, I have tried the pdanet method, and I tried unplugging and replugging the USB cord but it always stops on step 7. The phone has android 2.3.4 but I have seen other threads where people with 2.3.4 got their phones rooted so why can't I? Any ideas?
Sorry if I'm posting this in the wrong place but there is no forum dedicated to this phone. I'm guessing because it just came out this month.
i just got the Q for my girl, i was wondering the same, just to remove the bloat. can someone please point me to the right direction?
Just checking in to see if anyone has found any answers.

where can i find these threads? can you point me to it... maybe i can try and find something, or do something different and help out with solving it.
EDIT: did these threads say for the MTQ or was it just a thread for a random 2.3.4 device?
The threads I saw were just for a random 2.3.4 device. I saw another thread on xda with someone trying to root this phone but just like this thread no one is answering.
Has anyone found any methods to root this phone?
Success!
After several attempts to root via SuperOneClick 2.2, I tried something totally random from another LG rooting thread that seems to have worked. Install ADB, then do:
WINDOWS> adb shell
$ echo 1 > /data/local/lge_adb.conf
$ exit
Then run SuperOneClick 2.2 and it should root properly.
I will have to give this a try on one of my Windows PC's. Linux and SuperOneClick are not playing nice together right now.

Good Job Man....Worked for me. Have root and superuser.
Ditto! Root, & Superuser
== Instructions that worked for me ==
- Download myTouch Q drivers (Search "mytouch Q usb drivers" - Can't post links yet! XD )
- Check that adb recognizes device: C:\> adb devices
- Follow eamondaly's instructions:
WINDOWS> adb shell
$ echo 1 > /data/local/lge_adb.conf
$ exit

- Run SuperOneClick v2.2
- Wait for phone to reboot (SuperOneClick seems to be paused)
- Reset USB debugging (mine was turned off after reboot)
- Wait for SuperOneClick to finish.
- Enjoy rooted phone
Thanks
Okay thanks for the root methods greatly appreciated but now I am starting to get into developing anyone can teach me how to make a system dump to try and make my own roms I am a fast learner ort at least point me in right direction thanks again
Im not shure if im doing something wrong, i had better luck rooting an xperia play, a Droid X, and a htc mytouch, but this lg mytouch wont go for me. I tryed runing adb, i know how to use, was doing a little programming with it and eclipse. Anyhow, typed everything in and this is what my cmd shell looked like...
C:\ADB>adb shell
$ echo 1> /data/local/lge_adb.conf
echo 1> /data/local/lge_adb.conf
$ exit
exit
Then i tryed running superoneclick , tryed root and shell root, neither seem to work, it goes threw some and then hangs. my phone disconnects and reconects, thats it though. i checked in terminal, typed su, access is denied. i tryed it with debugging on and off, sd mounted and not.
Any ideas or tips. im using windows vista.

you are running under admin right I know silly question but had to as lol
Thanks eamondaly
I just want to thank eamondaly for this method. I just ran superoneclick 2.3.1 and it worked perfectly. I don't know if it was your method that worked or if superoneclick 2.3.1 fixed it but all that matters is my phone is now rooted. Thanks.
Thanks a lot for the root method, I've been waiting patiently for this. Now can we get to making mods for this phone now?
Edit: Anyone having trouble sending/receiving MMS messages? I cant seem to send or receive them.
I was having an issue with receiving MMS on both my wife's and my phone. Ditching the stock messaging client and downloading Handcent resolved it for both.
Switching MMS apps didn't work. Tried a number of countless APN setups. I just decided to unroot and factory reset. Everything is working again.
titanium pro back up image
hey all,
Im sure this is a random spot for this but, since we dont have a home yet.
Im looking for a stock back up image (Titanium backup pro)with all apps and system settings. I think I may have cleared out a system file or two when cleaning out all the Tmo bloat.
Any help or other suggestions would be great.
I found another way to root easily. http://www.unlockroot.com download, install and click root. I had issues with superoneclick and the adb method but this gave me full root with superuser and now I am happy that all the t-mobile crapware is gone
I'm trying to root my T-Mobile MyTouch Q and not having any luck. It's Android 2.3.6, but I tried running "echo 1 > /data/local/lge_adb.conf" and I get a permission denied error. I tried SuperOneClick version 2.2 and 2.3.3. SuperOneClick gets to step 7 than hangs and nothing happens. It says waiting for device. I also tried Unlock Root and it fails to get shell root. I searched all over google and the xda forums, but all say to run that command then run SuperOneClick and that hasn't worked for me. Anyone have any ideas?
Hello all, I am trying to root my wife's Doogee DG500C running Jellybean. Kingo Root appeared to work successfully although anything that requires root will just hang and never continue.
So I connected via adb and running "su" appears to just hang and never complete.
Code:

Any ideas whats going on?
I installed GLTools for the 5th time, I have never had any issues with it before.
Suddenly this time I installed the version of GLTools on XDA forums(this forum!), the phone turned off afterwards, had to manually turn it back on, now it just sits at the Alcatel Boot logo!
I can access the phone with ADB when its turned off and do adb shell, su, with success. Now how can I remove GLTools and restore the phone to normal useage!?
Please somebody help me here, If i get it working again I will never use any software thats not straight from Google Store again!
Please help!

get aroma file manager.
go 2 recovery
mount system
flash aroma recovery file mgr
navigate to root/data/app And delete gltools.
go to data/data/(gltools folder) and delete it.
Then go to root partition and delete all 3 texure plugins.
U r done.
possible issue : maybe u messed with the system partition or plugins of latest gltools isn't compatible.
How do i do that if i cant boot the phone?
Please man I am begging you, need to fix this. Cant have another brick on something stupid.
I dont have a custom recovery since there was not one available for my phone. Alcatel OneTouch Fierce XL. Can't I delete the files with adb commands?
You know what happened. I Attempted to try an older version of GLTools 1.97 ealier to see if it would work better to clear up performance of a game, I got rid of that. Then today I went ahead to reinstall 1.99. I suppose the driver files were still installed and are conflicting?
How can I delete them with ADB commands? I have SU access in ADB, just need to know the proper commands and directories to reach and delete the proper files?

If u didnt know It means ur computer isnt authorized anymore(u have to do it after enabling usb debugging for every system)
U can always flash a system.img using fastboot
yea I had authorized it and told it to remember this computer always before the phone bricked. It was working fine last night, I just didnt know what adb commands to use after adb shell and then "SU", from there I should have been able to delete the GLTools drivers if I had known the commands. Then suddenly windows decided in all its glory to update and restart, now its Unauthorized again. So I guess I am ****ed eh? I was hoping a restore point to a couple hours before windows update or rollback the update would set the PC to the same state when It was still authorized, but no Dice huh?
I dont think my phone has a fastboot, the only button combos that work are Power+VolUp, brings up a stock recovery with only 4 options, Restart Phone, Factory Reset, Wipe Cash, and Power down. Thats it.
God this is such bull****, Next droid device I get I am locking down 100% as much as can get and not using anything on it but a few basic apps from GooglePlay.
Thanks anyways though.
Dont use this method ive heard bad experiences
Want Root but Don't want to Ruin my phone

Method 1
Install Kingo Root On Your Pc Then Install It, After That Install Terminal Emulator From The Play Store
Then Type adb reboot disemmcwp (This disables write protection or else if you reboot your phone you
wont have a root) Next If That doesnt work type su 1st and if it asks for root say yes
Method 2

Hi I am wondering if there is any downside to either of these 2 Methods ? I have this Phone I am pretty familiar with Rooting as I have Rooted many Devices Tablets/Phones Some successful others Semi So my concern is this is my only decent Phone I dont want to Lose any Hardware functions Nor make the phone Slower Simply want to Remove some Apps I don't use That take up the majority of the 8gb of Space Note I have 32gb Sd Installed
I'm getting ready to try this soon. Do you know if root can be removed after it is applied permanently? I'll be giving my kids these phones but need to get past the issue of writing to the SD card as they have already used up all the internal memory, and Googles great idea of preventing write to the SD for apps in 5.x is really a buzz kill so far for them.
Thanks,
Mike

I just bricked mine to. Remember I told to factory reset it. You said it made it worst.
When I bricked mine I did what I told you them reset the cache and rebooted into bootloader and it fixed mine with no problem

After doing as described my device is now rooted, I also restarted it to double check. For those of you looking for assurance. I used a pentest app and exploited my device with a tool. With this tool I can run check_root and it will either say "Device is rooted" or "Device is not rooted" after running it several times, and restarting my device several times, my device remained rooted. Thank you!
Bad Tutorial
First: You aren't writing English properly. How does it make sense to install the same thing twice? Word it properly. I attempted both methods to no avail. I believe this is because English is not your first language. Thanks for the tutorial . I wish I could have that time back. Love from the USA <3.
the handset is samsung galaxy grand neo I9060. I rooted with kingoroot and it was sucessful. Checking with root checker apps also gives green signal. But i could not get any response for su in linux command mode . Moreover opening the linux, i forgot the actual word, or app, i do not get hash # simple to show it as rooted but a dollar $ sign to show it not as rooted. What is the actual stage?
I want to delete the batterystats.bin to find the cause or to fix the problem of depleing battery after 40 percent. I tried so much things.
how to access the said file, so that i actually manually delete it to see its deletion.
Regarding the battery problem, try if a new battery works for you.
If it fixes the problem, well good job.
If it doesn't the problem is somewhere else and you got 2 batteries now.
If the battery isn't replaceable then you're screwed
Sent from my Samsung Galaxy S7 using XDA Labs
Did you run the command adb devices ? If the daemon doesn't start after you do that, adb isn't working. If you get the serial, or model number, adb is working. I try to find the official way to root, instead of using kingoroot, I don't know if the apps changed, but when I used it, you have to re-enable it every time you reboot. It might not work with adb, since when you reboot, root's gone, and you have to re-enable through the phone being on.
