[Q][DEV HELP] Help! I can't root my Optimus Net. How? - Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I've read from other users of Optimus Net (LG-P690) who successfully rooted their devices. I've seen a guide for these, but on my part I can't root it.
I've already installed the drivers and my phone is recognized in the device manager. I already set my phone to usb debugging. I opened the command prompt in windows 7, then i followed the instructions, then i typed "adb devices" and it flashed "List of devices attached" only. when i typed "adb shell", it says "error: device not found".
How can I root my phone successfully?
Please help me. My current software version is "V08b" and i'm sick of it because its full of bugs. Thanks in advance.
I tried to update my software using LGMobile Support Tool..it dectects my phone as LGP690 but it says that i have the latest version. But when i clicked "supporting models", it says that p690 is updateable to V10b.. I just dont understand why it wont let me update..

I've just learned that my problem got worst. In the LG Sorfware Updater (B2Capp), my phone is recognized as p690 and it says that i have the latest software. Of course, i assumed that my device is already recognized, but when i installed the lg pc suite IV, my phone is not recognized and its says "no response from device". When i entered "mass storage mode", it installs the drivers and says that my device is successfully installed, but actually thats the end of it. the phone does not do anything and so is the pc. My notifications does not show that my usb is connected to a pc
it drives me crazy. I don't know what the problem is. I already installed the correct drivers and toggled the usb debugging mode, but the only program that could recognize it is the B2Capp..
Optimus net users, have you encountered this? I might not buy another lg phone again, because their phones are crap.
For those who will help, thanks in advance.

ive tried it on 4 other pc, windows 7 and xp. It always says that my phone and my cable is not connected. The only thing it does is to charge from the computer, nothing else.

Heres my phone:
Model number: LG-P690
Android Version: 2.3.3
Baseband Version: Unknown
Kernel Version: 2.6.35.10-perf+ [email protected] #1
Build number: lge_gelato-userdebug 2.3.3 GINGERBREAD V08b.41cea59f test-keys
Software version: LG-P690-V08b
IMEI: 004401099944007
while other optimus net phones have 2.3.4 and 2.6.35.10-perf, mine is different.... i believe its sort of a early prototype or something..
since i received this phone, i have never seen the usb notification in the status bar or in the notification. It's stange because it is suppose to appear on any android device when it is connected to a pc, especially when the drivers are installed. But i have NEVER seen it, EVER. Strange, right?
....edit......
I tried using the lgmobile support group, clicked on "recovery phone", entered my imei, and it directed me to the software update, only to find out that "model not supporting s/w update"... DAMN!!!!!!!!!! i think its dead end for me..

Bro I'm using the same unit too...i bought it last friday, where did you find the tutorial? can i have the link so that i can also try it, anyways im from Philippines too.
anyways the difference is im using the latest version software V10b.
im new in using android smartphones...so i have no knowledge in everything. can you please help me out if it will work on my unit. thank you.

for the root i follow this guide and work:
androidworld.it/forum/lg-optimus-net-p690-187/%5Bguida%5D-permessi-di-root-su-lg-optimus-net-27860
i have to translate it?
now i look for a custom recovery.

i brought thid device n although it is my first andriod....but after few hours i was able to root it........BUT DONT EVEN TRY TO INSTALL CLOCKWORK RECOVERY....from rom manager......i got bricked into this.....i used the superone click application to root......

Hey what was the stupid? I may be doing the same thing. If not, I can't get this to work. It just dies at step #5, no error code, SOC freezes, and I have to task kill it. I have no AV enabled. Here's my setup:
- running win 7 Pro x64
- pantech drivers installed
- development is enabled
- adb can see device
- SOC set to gingerbreak
- there is no mem card mounted or even in the device (it gets further if there is... step 7 and dies... maybe file system is inaccessible?)
What am I missing?
I would love to hear if anyone bricked their crossover..I want to root my wife's crossover, but if I bricked it I would NEVER hear the end of it!

[Q] completely bricked htc one x :)

I am trying to use 'adb' from the android dev kit but I cannot see the devices, i.e. 'adb devices' doesn't report any devices. It appeared to be working earlier this evening but not any more. I was going to push a rom file to my rooted phone but obviously since I no longer see the device I am stuck. I rooted yesterday and installed the maximus rom but my phone went into a loop of restarting. Unfortunately I didn't backup before I rooted and installed Maximus rom.
Can anybody offer any help? I am using Mac OSX.
Desperate since phone is now effectively redundant

if it didnt help u just reply and we´re gonna look whats next to unbrick ur phone
Hi
Thanks for your reply, I have hit the 'Thanks' button
I read the posting you referenced but it doesn't really offer a solution to my problem.
As described earlier I rooted my phone and flashed a Rom (Maximus) succesfully but on turning the phone on after installing the new Rom I got into a cycle of the phone rebooting without actually getting past the lock screen. My thoughts at that stage were to re flash using stock rom but on running fastboot and plugging into my Mac OSX machine via USB, the phone doesn't show up in 'devices' on the Mac. I have also tried 'adb devices' form within Android Dev Tools and although 'adb' runs fine no device is reported. Of course without devices being avaialble to 'adb' then I cannot reflash!
I have also tried from within a bootcamp installation of 'Windows XP' installed on the mac with the same results, this with 'HTC Sync' installed and therefore providing the USB Drivers required within Windows.
I have tried logging into fastboot using 'power' and 'Down Volume' at various stages of the boot process on the phone but have never seen the phone within devices.
Clearly prior to installation of the Rom (Maximus) I could see devices at both the Finder window on the Mac and from adb devices.
Any help or insight you could provide would be very gratefully received
Ok ok ok dont worry
I had to read a bit and found quit much german threads where they flash back the stock rom
as is suggested u cant flash it with odin...
the only solution i woul suggest is that u have to find a computer running windows
there its very easy to restore the stock with the methods u described earlier in the thread...
hope u get done let me know what happend
=)
The question remains; how can I flash anything be it a hacked rom or an official rom when I cant see the 'device' in both windows and mac osx?
I think what I am looking for is a reason why the phone isn't seen when plugging in via USB. Once it is seen as a 'device' I will be able to flash anything via 'adb'.
Thank you for your continued interest and assistance
ok so u know how the get it back but ur phone is not really recognized by ur computer
but i found a method using the bootloader
the problem is that the instructions are in german
but i think if u google a bit u may find it
Don't know if I misunderstood what you said..but to get into recovery, you hold volume down and the power button when the phone is turned off. Not during the boot process.
Yes you can do it with bootloader (power+volume down)

Yes, I know that. He said he attempted to do that DURING the boot process. I was stating that he had to do it while the phone was powered down.
Guys, I can get into recovery no problem. The issue is that my phone doesn't show up in devices on the mac finder window and hence when I run 'ADB Devices' from the mac when the phone is plugged into the mac with USB no device is found and so no serial number is reported in my terminal window on the mac. If I can get to see the device with 'ADB' I can push the rom and recover the phone. At the moment the phone is bricked.
Thanks guys for your continued assistance.

Very glad we decided to not release the initial root, sorry

FYI,
I've tried uot.dakra.lt UOT Kitchen couple times so far and have been ale to change the font of the device and the color of the glow for overscrolling but my time and other icons up in the status bar disappeared (the "AT&T" still shows up there though). The Backup and Restore in CWM does work nicely though to get me back to before I installed the zip from UOT Kitchen. I'll try 1 mod at a time using UOT kitchen and see which is making the icons and time disappear from my status bar.
EDIT: I did notice one issue with CWM backups. The backup I did today saved the folder name as "1970-02-22.03.14.56". Some reason the date is wrong in the file naming, should have started with "2012-04-13", right?

For those having trouble with a missing driver I followed the below instructions and installed PDAnet (I did so while in fastboot mode so I could see the drivers install) as soon as it installed and the drivers showed installed. I went back and uninstalled pdanet (leaving the needed drivers behind)
hawkwind212 said:
I solved my problem by referencing to part II of the following page:
theunlockr.com/2009/10/06/how-to-set-up-adb-usb-drivers-for-android-devices/Describe
Be sure to download two programs PDANet and USBView (which you may not really need but it's a nice little program).
It's suppose to be "stupid easy" to root PANETCH Burst, but who ever said that left out that it's not so easy if you don't have all the proper driver on your computer. Anyway, so soon after the fastboot mode is brought up, you should notice the computer is telling you a new hardware is found. This is when the burst switches from PANTECH's ADB driver to something else, and only way for the command "fastboot boot prestoroot.img" to work is to find the proper driver for the new hardware call "Android" in the device manager. Now you want to install PDANet, and as soon as the installation process begin, it'll find the driver for the device "Android." and install the driver for you. Once the driver is installed, the installation process will tried to install whole bunch other things into your phone, but I really don't think it can install them in fastboot mode, so you'll probably want to terminate the process. Now type command "fastboot devices" and you should see some kind of output telling you that it's recognize the "Android" device. Now, and only now you can follow the rest of "stupid easy" rooting instruction.

Is there a Mac version of any of this software?
Is there a Mac version of any of this software. I understand all of this started on a PC but does that mean Mac users are forever out in the cold ? I own a Pantech Burst and a MacBook Air. I don't have access to a PC nor will I in the future, in so far as being able to use any of the software referenced here.
Any suggestions?

they were asking if any of the software we are using would work on a mac. the answer is yes depending on what software you are refering too. the pantech suite (which has been useless to me with the exception it installed the drivers for me) is windows only. I had actually gotten the drivers originally at work by using pda net. The information I gave above is what I came up with after a quick google search. I'm not sure if that or pdanet for mac would have those drivers.

Stuck at Bootlogo LG E510 [pls move if inappropriate] - SOLVED

Hello guys,
Ive been lurking here for a while and i finally thought about joining the gang.
I cant find the LG E510 thread here so please move my thread if this place is inappropriate. Thank you.
I updated this E510 via the LG mobile support software and the install [after downloading firmware] got stuck at around 4% then at 14%
The software prompted me to remove the phone from connection, pull out the battery then try again. Now its stuck at boot screen.
I can start up the "Emergency Mode", where its the only way my PC can recognize the device connected. I tried using the LG software again but i get this:
Hard reset is said to be VolDown + Home + Power On yet it doesnt work, only gets to logo.
This is an unrooted phone that why i used LG-provided update software.
THe PC can detect the devices and installed drivers. The software can too, but this error is persistent.
A friend said something about disabling the LG modem in the device manager but i still get this error.
I have ADB which i used sometime ago with my HTC but the ADB says device not found.
Any help would be appreciated.
Thank you very much.
*** SOLVED
I dont know what exactly made it work but i did the following.
Disabled [not uninstall] all other devices installed by the phone except the LG Android Platform
- disable and restart. if uninstall is used windows will just install it again after restart. disable.
- may be a problem with my PC that it has difficulties connecting with the phone if the other child devices are on
Uninstalled the Update Software and Installed it again
This time i clicked Options > Update Recovery
- prompted for my Phone Model + SN or just the IMEI <- brainfart on my part shouldve seen this earlier
The software downloaded the exact same firmware V10H_00.kdz and installed it. Success!
Maybe there was something bad with the first one i downloaded being on WiMax connectivity.
I feel so stupid right now being unobservant and all...
Anyway thank you!
