Did any one use the z4root to root the LGP500 ?
Is this a fail-safe method to root this phone? If not is there one?
I'm a bit afraid to root it, because I have bought it recently and I do not what to turn it in to a brick
The software version of my phone is LG-P500-V10b Android 2.2
Thanks
Nothing is fail-safe.
That's why developers aren't reponsibles if you brick your device.
There is allways that chance.
I used the universal root and everything is working well.
If you are noob in this area, just read a litle more about using abd and flashing shipped ROMs.
Cheers
I had a Windows mobile before.. but in Android yes I'm a noob
In Linux I con not say that I'm 100% noob, but close to that.
So some noob questions:
What is "adb"? and
What is universal root? Is what this link talks about ?
Thx

Rooting itself is not problem I think. But, more possible problem can come with other solutions like firmware update/rewrite, flashing of custom ROM. For what do you need rooting?

Not for flashing...
Some apps can only be used in a rooted phone.
So my purpose is only to use these apps, not for flashing the phone with other ROMs
Rooted today
I just rooted today, Sunday, December 5 2010, an Optimus One which I have under t-mobile, using z4root. No problems at all. In fact, my only worry was that it might not have been correctly rooted because all I had to do was press a button, it restarts and that's it. Nothing else. I then removed all bloatware and the retarded unremovable trial version of pacman.
I have v10 and had downloaded all over the air upgrades that I had received up to that point, and it still worked perfectly. Also, I have Froyo.

So, in this case I thing that most better way is using of z-Root. There shouldn't be problem at all.

Oh, that's great. But how long did the process take to complete. For me though, the wheel has been spinning for a while now...

Welcome to the ROOT Team
Neither the z4root or the universal root worked for me on my girlfriends Optimus. z4root simply didn't work... tried about 5 times with no success. The Universal root stopped responding pretty much immediately. I'm pretty sure I followed directions to a "T". Anyone have suggestions?

Same for me. But older version will not install superuser automatically and it have to be download separately.

That's the one that stops responding everytime I try it. I see ADB listed twice in the task manager... is that normal? As soon as ADB starts running is when it stops responding.

hmm.. do you have lg pc suite? it contains usb drivers for the optimus one.. without those you can't root.
superoneclick method:
turn on in phone settings, applications, develop, usb debugging
connect phone.. don't go into usb storage option (don't mount sd card).
right click on .exe -> run as administrator if you haven't.
and if you are on windows 7 or vista try to set compatibility options.
click root.
sorry if i tell you what you already know, but maybe it helps.
I downloaded the drivers from LG website for the Optimus One, run Superoneclick as administrator using Windows 7 64, checked usb debugging on the phone, etc. I have no idea why this is not working for me. I had no problems rooting my MyTouch Slide, which is pretty complex compared to this. My girlfriend says she doesn't care if I figure it out since its her phone, but the man in me just HAS to figure it out HAHA.
It's weired, I had no problem to root my phone using z4root.
I was on stock V10A (Europa) and z4root worked very well. I had upgraded to V10D using LG's crappy software, and after rooting it again with z4root it was well working.
Have you tried to use LG's firmware instead of the operator's one ?
I finally got it rooted using z4root. Said to myself that I would try "one more time" and POOF... it worked. Thanks everyone for your help.
for some reason i cant get it to work what am i doing wrong please help!!
Ahh the days when I was a complete N00B........
What steps have you taking so far???

Lets see if i can help. (Cranks handle on Monkey and rubs crystal ball). Monkey says to reboot phone, flash newest ruu from development, and take back to sprint.
Good luck and i am sure this will fix it!
Seriously, post a question with relevant info and i am sure someone here can recite back to you what you would find with a couple of google searches or reading the OP of the thread you got your tool from.
Later.

Have u set up Adb on your computer? All the temp root methods I have used require adb. If u have then i would suggest in a terminal moving to the directory you have it set up in and type "adb devices" and see if you get a serial #. If u don't know what Adb is then the unlocker has a great tutorial just Google it.

What's s-off. And there is a perm root for evo 3d? I'm a noob to android. I've had an iphone your the past 3 years
Nvd I'll finally got the memo.

haha s-off allows you to protected parts of the phone to do things like flashing custom roms. But once you get s-off you can perm root. if you need help setting it up let me know, its pretty straight forward though
Thanks. ima try to set it up tomorrow. I'm spoiled, I'm used to the super easy iphone jail brake.
So I rooted my Evo successfully as well as the Evo of one of my good friends. However, a second friend of mine wanted his new Evo rooted so I naturally obliged. However, his phone repeatedly gave me the finger when I tried to root it. Here is what happened:
1. Executed root script via THIS METHOD
2. Script began rooting.
3. Script entered first phone restart phase.
4. Script entered second phone restart phase.
5. When phone turned back on my laptop no longer recognized he device (i.e. Android 1.0 in Device Manager) and so the script could not continue its process.
My attempted solutions:
1. Reset to factory settings and reattempt to root. (Failed)
2. Reset to factory settings and attempted to root using RegawMOD (Failed)
3. Did not try to RUU as I did not have the RUU necessary for his device.
My question here is this....if I RUU his device and reattempt the root is it likely that I will encounter the same issue as I did initially? I do not know whether this was an issue of the rooting process or an issue with the drivers on my laptop. My powers of deduction tell me it is based within the phone since immediately after his phone was unrecognized I was able to plug my phone in, as well as my other friend's Evo, and have my laptop recognize both devices instantly.
Cliff Notes:
My Evo: Rooted Successfully
Friend #1's Evo: Rooted Successfully
Friend #2's Evo: Root Unsuccessful
Personally I would just HTCDev unlock his phone and flash TWRP...then download whatever rom (even the rooted stock if he wants to stay 100% stock) and flash it. Best way to root imho. Hasn't failed me yet!
I would try re updating the htc drivers for your pc

RagawMOD root uses the htcDev method. It failed as I stated in the original post.

If you have the most up to date drivers in device manager it will show "my htc" not android 1.0.

Interesting. It definitely sounds like Drivers. The quote below me is right on. I was having this problem as well. The only thing I can think of is that you have a couple sets of drivers on your computer. When you go to update it updates with the old drivers (don't know why). I had this issue with my Kindle Fire.
Have you tried to update the drivers by manually selecting where to find the drivers?

I guess I should've added that to the OP. Part of my fix prices was also to completely uninstall all HTC drivers and reinstall them. I used the drivers from PDANet since those were the only ones that managed to work correctly. All of the others wouldn't install correctly.

Hi to everyone, i've got a problem. When i've tried to play pvp tournament on eternity warriors 2 a message tell me that i can't play cause my device is "jailbroken"(i think means rooted). I've tried temp unroot with ota rootkeeper and tried to uninstall super user and reboot phone(it's galaxy note 2 lte, on stock roms, just root with framaroot, when temp unroot, in phone stats my device is "normal" and i can receive ota), but nothing the game tell me the same message. i've got same prob with other games of game evil, but when temp unroot they work.
There is a way to play games and app that not allow root device on root device? with a temp unroot or something like this?
rooted devices/games
The game saves your data to its servers, so no matter if you have a rooted device or not it will show as rooted unless you clear your history of the game from your account
Sucks but that's how it goes for this game.

After a attemp to log into a different device the same problem occurred that I was not able to play pvp while I had a rooted device.
Meaning It's server sided. Needing to find out How to clear that.

How do I root this with no computer ?
Is there any apps that work with this phone ?
I read about z4 root , framaroot, and some others.
Which ones worked on this kind of phone without
any problems of bricking it during the root ?
This phone is from Sprint.
Does anyone have an answer ?

have you done it on this phone ? Could having more than one
Home launchers installed do anything bad during or affer root ?
Would having certain apps brick my device after root finishes if I do
something wrong ? I don't know how soft brick or hard brick works
or what causes them. I bricked one tablet when I tried changing
device id and reinstalled the fiemware to unbrick it.
I don't want to do something to mess up my phone.

No I have an S3 but after reading I see people have success with towelroot across the board. Root has nothing to do with launchers. Basically hard and soft bricks are caused by people not following directions or rooting a phone or tablet that no one has before. I do understand your concern

No it won't brick your phone however with a new update depending on the carrier it would remove the ability for root with an update. I don't know if your in or outside the US

Im in the U.S.
After getting root while trying to update binaries of superSU or superuser
it says failed. What do I do to fix it ? I haven't turned off or restarted phone since I used the root app.
I messed something up with my data yesterday when trying to change some things. I wasn't able to use internet through most apps except YouTube app for videos. I removed root files and apps and restarted then factory reset. Then rooted again the same app and the SuperSU binaries were installed.
