I'm sorry, I know I'm in the wrong part of the forums, but my friend just bought an Optimus S on Sprint and I was wondering if the root methods were the same for others in the Optimus series. If so, can anyone link me to a root method guide?
Again, I'm sorry, I've owned a bunch of Android phones but never worked with an LG before. Thanks for anyone's help
FYI, no need to flame, I know I'm probably not where I'm supposed to be.
In terms of rooting, it is exactly the same method with using z4root. You can find it here, and just follow the instructions on the page.

Since the optimus s is just a rip off of the optimus t, does that mean roms will work on both as well?
Just find z4root v1.3 it's the best. google it or download at this forum

Thank you, the prior poster posted the link.
Need roms though, preferably something that's been optimized, deodexed, zipaligned and bloatware removed. The phone is great, but anything to increase speed and performance.
I do appreciate the help, thank you! If ever you need Evo help, PM me!
I tried a few Optimus S roms on my p500, they all failed LOL so unless someone else has attempted to do the same, and has said that it worked, I would highly recommend you to flash Optimus S roms. There are plenty for them here.

So I have a friend who has a droid eris, and i have a galaxy s. He saw what i had done to my phone... Kernel, ROM, and themes and was asking me to do it to his eris. So can anyone point me to a thread or anything to help with rooting, flashing ROMS and anything else? Thanks.
Download Root and Me from the market. It's a guide for rooting etc. I found it very useful
do a little searching on here, you will find everything you need to know about your Eris,

Hi guys, I'm quite new to the android field and own Lg optimus one. To be frank I've got no idea what this-rooting or overclockin or custom kernel or rom is, though i google it everyday!
But now, I want to know what it and how to do it? Please, I need a brief guide for doing it. I want a better gaming experience that's why.
Anyone help me out.
Thanks.
Read the [READ FIRST] thread by The_error in the general section. It is the first or second thread.

You need the following stuff:
1) root (can get it via z4root, SuperOneClick, Gingerbreak)
2) custom recovery (ClockworkMod, AmonRA)
3) custom ROM - froyo or gb based (devoid.franco, void#echo, megatron, CM7 by mik_os, GingerBread by andy)
If you are looking for performance, I'd suggest you to flash devoid.franco, andy's GB or mik_os CM7. Read the feedback from users on each thread and flash the ROM that suits you best.
Instructions how to install different stuff you can get on each developer's thread.

I am new to the forum and I am looking for the easiest way to root my fascinate sch-i500 phone. It has Froyo 2.2.1 currently. Any help is appreciated.
No worries. Use Z4 root, its a one click method which will do what you want rather easily. I posted a link below to a thread which includes the apk file and instructions on how to use it.

If you just want to root, find a one click root app. If you want to flash roms :
One tip: Read the stickies in the Development section. Your better off knowing what your doing instead of blindly following our advice. Sorry if this comes as a bit of a downer, but its for your own good.

^ Yup, he's right...The z4 root apk I posted does work 99.9% of the time without a hitch but sometimes things don't always go as planned and you may end up having to Odin because of it. Like TheSonicEmerald recommended read though the stickies and see what it will take to get your samsung fascinate back up and running again if something were to go wrong. It will save you a lot of time when it does happen, and believe me, if your going to be flashing roms and such things WILL go wrong. This isn't to scare you or anything, it is to assure you if anything goes wrong the forum is here to help. I've learned this one word of advice over my time here and thats, "YOU CAN NEVER BRICK AN ANDROID PHONE."I hope this helped you out a little. Happy modding.
I'm not new to rooting at all, I have rooted several devices. A friend of mine just got a Fascinate and all the info I'm finding seems old and depricated. Will this z4root still work? Is it simple enough for a newb to do? She really just wants root for the wifi tether for root users.
I couldn't agree more. I read a ton of stickies and it paid off big time
Hi, I will be getting this phone today (i9100 unlocked) and have a couple of questions on how to proceed onwards. Any help would be greatly appreciated
1. What is the best firmware and rooted kernel for me to go on?
I want the absolute simpilest way to root my phone (total beginner) and I don't know what firmware I will have when I receive it, I also don't know if I should stay on a gingerbread firmware or go to ics? I also don't care if it is official or custom as long as I'm not sacraficing stability. If possible I would like a rom that is good for battery life. I also want to root my phone in the safest way. There are so many tutorials I didn't know where to start
2. What are some of the essential rooted apps and how do you install them? Through superuser or market?
3. What are the risks involved with a standard flashing/root because I'm getting my phone second hand I don't have warranty.
Thanks for all your help!
Edit: I just say a sticky saying not to ask what roms are the best so I'm sorry if I broke a rule. I just literally have no idea where to start, I've never even used android before. I've found so many methods of rooting and roms but most seem outdated. I would just like someone to point me in the right direction of the up to date way. Sorry if I'm really not supposed to ask!

Superuser is not used to install apps, you would either download them from the market or manually install the .apks
3. What are the risks involved with a standard flashing/root because I'm getting my phone second hand I don't have warranty.

Rooting your phone would void the warranty anyway and bricking is probably your biggest risk.

Sry, didn't see the rest of your post, but is there an all in one sort of tutorial for this?

Yes. There are dozens, if all you wanted me to do was provide a link to a more comprehensive guide, why don't you just learn how to use Google for yourself?

Most of these guides will contain everything you need to know to get started.

Believe me, I tried, but there are so many options, also, I've now decided to opt for a locked virgin i9100 bcause it was 50 bucks more for a new phone with the warranty, so what's the best way to unlock one? I think I recall a free app.

If you would have read XDA's rules, you would know you aren't allowed to ask for ETAs, plus it is obviously that there are no roms for this device.If you would have just searched through the topics instead of getting lazy and considered that spamming the forum would be easier, taking in consideration that there are at least two others topics about this...geez :silly: .
