Christ has risen!
To all of you that are tired of the long, not so simple way to root your Optimus One, I just came across this. Although it says it's for gingerbread, it worked for me. I'm using original 2.2.1 firmware.
Hope you're gonna find this useful!
hi cristi_bostan2005,
thanks for the information. I have tried and it also work with Android Version 2.2.2, software version v10f-FEB-24-2011
Does this mean no need of downgrading any more to install custom roms? Also is it safe to use it on our phone?
this is great news, though I'm still on v10b
where is detail i m not able to see it
thanks for this i rooted my phone using this was running froyo 2.2.2 with out the requirement of downgrade was able to root the phone successfully
? I am not seeing any info regarding app...what is the method?
For those that didn't see the link, here it is:

It's an app, similar to z4root that can root your phone, without you needing to downgrade as before. It's very simple.
Follow the link, download the latest apk to your phone, install it, run it and that's it!

Will the Ginger Break work for LG Optimus M? How do I install?

thanks, worked great on 2.2.2 (ADEUBK 10e)
How many minutes did it take to root the phone? Mine is taking forever... :-S
not very long... about 30 seconds to 1 minute i think ??
Going to reboot and try again then.
but:
Some important things to know:
- You must have USB debugging enabled on your device
- You need to have an SD card (formatted and) inserted
- The APK must be install to device, NOT SD card
- The exploit may take a while to run, but not more than 10 minutes, if it does, get me a logcat, and reboot the device
- Always reboot between root attempts!
- While (temporary?) root access may be attained, due to locked bootloaders, efuses, S-ON, and whatnot this may still not work on your device
- The GingerBreak exploit should not be used to attain temproot and continue using the device. It fscks vold, you do not want to be running like that. You want to reboot! So if the root doesn't stick, you (still) have a problem.
Nope, it wasn't running properly, I waited more than 10 minutes.
I've rebooted and tried to run it again and this time it rooted the phone in less than 30 seconds. It was something that was amiss I guess.
Rooted in few minutes on V10E (2.2.2) Italian No Brand.
is it permanent root? i'm wondering if the phone can still be Unrooted after using this app? sorry for the noob question.

I want Gingerbread. I have a company phone and need to keep it fairly stock. I like and currently have root access. Everything I have been reading has been about Root + Unlock. I just want to update and root. Any advice?
Just flash the stock Gingerbread then re-root. There are all kinds of rooting guides available.

I have a Desire-Z and it had GB, but the forums I followed insisted that I must downgrade it to Frodo before rooting, as there is currently no way to root it in GB. So that is what I have done and I have root. Like you I want to go to GB but keeping root. I'm pretty sure there is a way, but I dont yet know how. That method is what I too am looking for. So there would need to be a way to preserve the root you've got while upgrading to GB. If upgrading causes you to lose root in GB, you wont be able to get it back without downgrading again unless someone comes up with a method that works for GB. If you find a way before me, let me know. Cheers.

The method at briefmobile has always worked for me. However, you might also want to look at swiftks' "[Updated 2-11-2012] THE BEGINNERS (N00B) GUIDE!!! N00BS LOOK HERE FOR YOUR HOW TOs" that should be pinned at the top of this forum. There is a section in it called "HOW TO ROOT YOUR DEVICE ON ANDROID 2.3.4:".
canopic, root methods vary from phone to phone. It is quite possible to root the Atrix on gingerbread. I don't know anything about the Desire-Z though.
Hello i am newbie and bought optimus one 1 month ago.I had to send the phone to service centre for usb problems and already got the PCB replaced.I know rooting voids warranty but i want it as i want to use link2sd,proxy for wifi
Can anyone please tell if i root using this method will i be able to unroot,because my phone already had problems,and it may also have in 11 months.
I am using V20B 2.3.3 GB Indian

You can download the Gingerbreak apk (search the forums) and use it to root. No need to connect to PC and all. And yes, you can easily unroot.

Rooting is the least risky thing you can do to your phone. Use the link you first posted. The process is a bit iffy, so if it fails for you ask on that thread or PM the people for whom it succeeded.

Yeah, if that method doesn't work, then downgrade to 2.2 firmware and then use Gingerbreak. Here's the how-to thread.

I am looking for a possible way on 2.3.3 stock.But this is my first time.I never rooted before so i am looking for ROOT+UNROOT Option ( for 2.3.3 stock)
Anyone please clear my doubts.
Imo doing a factory reset removes your root. Never tried it though, making an educated guess.

See if you want it to be rooted/unrooted in a single step, then Gingerbreak is the best option.
Since you're on 2.3.3, first downgrade to 2.2 using KDZ updater. I already gave the link. Then use Gingerbreak.
If you do not want to take any risk at all, then forget about rooting and continue using your phone.
Hey guys I had rooted my Acer liquid mini a few months ago using super one click 1.7, it rooted successfully.
Now recently I installed the official gingerbread (2.3.5) update and then after that I couldn't run apps that needed root permission, so I did a root check and it said it wasnt rooted. So here where the problem is whenever I try rooting with super one click 1.7 now it gets stuck at some "pneuter" step or something.
What do I do? I really want to root again but it doesn't seem to be going ahead of this step.
P.S - I have USB de bugging on.

Have you tried rooting using a newer version of Superoneclick?
Yeah I tried v2.3.1 it seems to get stuck at the 3rd step after killing ADB server and starting ADB server. It left it alone for like 5-10 minutes din't seem like the program was responding. I have rooted my cellphone before and it should take nothing more than a minute, I think something is wrong.
Oh and also after the official update I had all my files and apps as I left it before updating that means before updating it must have automatically backed up everything. So it also backed up the superuser app. I had Superuser, titanium backup, ROM manager still installed but couldn't run any of them (since I lost my root permissions). I hope that helped. Just disclosing all the things that happened.

You could try using z4root and/or Gingerbreak.
No z4 didn't work I used 1.3.0. I don't think it has anything to do with the software, I have rooted before and it should work, I think it has something to do with my cell , something to do with the update cuz it dint work after that.:| but I don't know what went wrong.

It is your software. That's why when you root your device, it is advised not to update officially; but instead using a custom rom (based on the updated software version). You were able to root before since your previous firmware was rootable (at least in that way).
Oh damn that means I have to wait till they come out with a root able version of my cellphone? Isn't there any other way out?

v2.3.6
Released on 2 September 2011, this version fixed a voice search bug. The 2.3.6 update had the side-effect of impairing the Wi-Fi hotspot functionality of many Canadian Nexus S phones. Google acknowledged this problem and fixed it in late September

Pretty sure superoneclick will do it easily. There's other threads around here about rooting these devices that should have any info you need.

supeoneclick 2.3.3. doesn't work on stock 2.3.6 EU G70 rom
It depends on whether you want to keep the stock kernel or not. If not, you can flash a custom kernel first and then root it by say zegrush.
Actually I have just rooted the new 2.3.6 EU rom this way.
I have rooted it successfully.
It worked for me

I've tried everything, and still no luck.
The usb is in developer mode, I tried with dismounted sd card, I removed the sd card completely, turned off the firewall and the virus scanner, reseted the device, removed all the extra programs, changed the usb port on my pc. The cable is good.
The zerg rush runs every time, than superoneclick is stuck at the waiting for the device step, but nothing happens.
Tried all the steps in several combinations, several times, but no luck.
There is another rooting method in the developer forum. It runs fine but after it finished, the device is still not rooted.
Device: JP-G70

Using DoomLorD's Easy Rooting Toolkit 4.0, I was able to root my device on 2.3.6 successfully; I'm using an SGP 4.0 Model YP-G1.
Worked the first time; I suggest trying that method rather than SuperOneClick (I had problems with it when I first got my SGP)

Thanks for the help, but it didn't help. I tried a factory reset too, but still no luck.
It seems that the application tells me that there is not enough space on system partition. But without root access, I think there is nothing I can do.

I'm not sure but I got it too. It failed when trying to update though. Probably because I already rooted it?
I went ahead and let it update, it's a small 3.5 MB update so definitely not anything dramatic. Changed software version from E97010l to E97010o. No change in kernel or baseband version. Will check and see if root method for international Optimus G still works...
EDIT: Root still works. Haven't noticed anything out of the ordinary, so feel free to update without the fear of losing root.
Here's a question: How are these updates pushed? My E970 is operating on Rogers and has actually NEVER been registered or run on AT&T. Are these updates pushed via the AT&T network to registered/operating phones, or via the Internet to specific IMEIs? In other words, will my phone ever get updates like this pushed?
How do we opt out of updates?

Hooray Arkansas! Anyway, I used Titanium Backup (after rooting and unlocking bootloader) to delete the LG FOTA app. I still get the FOTA notification, and it tries to install it. However, FOTA's install using stock recovery, and if you unlock your bootloader your stock recovery is overwritten by Clockwork Mod recovery so the device just reboots
Anyone else getting better battery life? It's been 12 hours since I last charged my phone and I've barely cracked off a 3rd of the charge.
This may be a question for another thread, but my update failed (guessing because my phone is rooted). If I temporarily un-root my phone and apply the update, would it work? I can then go back and root it again if need be, but I really just wanted to remove some AT&T apps and that was the only reason I rooted it in the first place.
Now I wonder if I've created a headache for myself in regards to updates. I should have done more research before rooting!

Like Deathmonkey said, the update fails because of your custom recovery. You would have to flash your stock recovery in order to receive the OTA. I think you can see how yo do this in the rooting guide thread.

I was under the impression that only the unlock installs a custom recovery. Does the root do this too?

That's a good question. All I did was root and uninstall a few AT&T apps. That's it. I haven't installed any custom recovery, but maybe that was done somehow?
Lesson learned for me: don't go messing with crap until I do my research
Edit: tried a hard reset, no luck of course. Only thing that did for me was buy me two hours now of trying to reinstall my apps. This is depressing.

Sorry to bump this back up. Just got my phone last night and rooted it with this method - http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1941699
This morning I saw that my phone has an update available. Is it safe to update if I defrost all my frozen bloatware (I did not delete any of them, just frozen)?
I've read that I should not do OTA if I unlocked the bootloader whichI have not done, only root. I also searched and found out that I should not do OTA if I have a custom recovery which I do not think I have from the rooting directions from the thread above. Just trying to be cautious.
