there are many topics out there right now guiding people through this but I'm a bit confused with what actually needs to be done to root the aria currently.
I would like to root and run CM7 on my Aria which is currently running stock FroYo 2.2.2. Do I need to s-off first, then use unrevoked or am I able to follow a video guide such as this one: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qwDNRQelpr4 and be done? Then how would I go about getting CM7 on the phone...?
First time rooting.
Sorry I'm just confused and want to make sure I have a current answer for this before starting.

Glad you were successful, but actually you don't have to turn off USB debugging when using Android Flasher.
it wouldnt read it for me if the debugging was on. as soon as I turn off usb debugging my laptop says there is a usb mass storage device connected but when usb debugging is on, there is nothing visible. oh well, it ended up working fine.
I actually ran into the same problem yesterday. Even tried two separate machines before trying to turn off usb debugging. It's weird because I've never had a problem before.

ok first off thanx for all the help that you all have took time out for while i was trying to root my aria, but now my friend wants me to root his, and he's on his way to the apartment now, so i need to kno do i need to do the driver steps again or can i just connect his phone to my comp and run unrEVOked? PLEASE HELP ASAP!
the drivers are just for your computer so it can talk to your phone. As long as you didnt uninstall them from the computer you should be fine with just connecting the phone and running unrevoked.
EDIT: Remember to make sure his phone has USB Debugging enabled too.

Hello fellow android-users. I have a problem. A problem that I can not figure out. My problem is the fact that no matter what I do I can't root my optimus v. I have tried literally everything and still can not root it. On the phone I've tried all known versions of Visionary, Z4root, easyroot, and universal androot. On the computer I've tried SuperOneClick but it always gets stuck on "waiting for device". I have searched so many forums and cannot find a solution. I think I could root it from the computer if it weren't for these bland general drivers I get installed on my computer every time I install drivers then plug my phone into the computer via usb. I have tried plugging it in to 3 different computers and always get these drivers. I have also tried 2 different usb to micro-usb cables (thinking that the one that came with the optimus might be charge only).Down below I have attached the drivers that always come up and what I think I should get (I screenshooted this from a youtube video).And all the lg android,virgin mobile, and usb drivers I have installed in various orders and mixed and matched but still no good. Also I have never had the phone get a usb notification when I plug it in.And yes I have Usb debugging turned on on the optimus. Although I have tried taking it off just for the heck of it.
Thank you for your time and consideration.
P.S. All i want to do is root it so that I can remove the bloatware and overclock it a bit.
Additional Information: Yes this is also posted on android central but I'm posting it here in hopes that maybe you all can help.
Additional Additional Information:I have tried every driver in every combination for the optimus v with never any luck.I have also installed linux on my computer If I will need that.Is there anyway to root it manually from the device itself, because that appears to be the only way. Here is a link to the official thread:forum(dot)androidcentral(dot)com/showthread.php?p=889790
If you try to connect via adb shell, does it successfully get you a "$" or "#"? Or does it say device not found?
This may seem odd, but try turning the phone off and doing the procedure for permanent root. Some have reported that turning the phone off fixes connectivity issues.
i rooted mine 2.2.2 with gingerbreak, very easy, install root and bobs your uncle
Try Gingerbreak..........works all the time
I downloaded the Gingerbreak v.1.2 app and when I press root I get "rooting....... running exploit..... This may take a few minutes! Device will reboot on success!" and I wait and nothing ever happens. And if yall are talking about the gingerbreak exploit on superoneclick I can't even get my computer to recoqnize my phone the right way.I've never had the usb notification thing pop up on the phone.I have downloaded every single driver for the phone and have installed and uninstalled them soooooo many times with no success.And I have had usb debugging on and tried rebooting several times with no luck. All i want to do is gain root acess to remove bloatware and overclock a bit.
Try all 3 versions of gingerbreak
Alright I already tried v.1.2,and 1.1, but it won't hurt to try 1.0.
remove any antivirus tht u have installed and try again
Alright I'll try that and get back to you
I tried it and it made no difference.Thanks for the suggestion though.
your sureshot is to downgrade ur device to froyo2.2. and then perform the root
Did u enable usb debugging mode? oO
josinpaul: My device is already froyo.The optimus v comes with froyo and I have not touched the OS. Also, how I would I do that if no computer can even recognize the device? (Not trying to be a jerk, just wondering if you could change the OS without being connected to the computer.)
ccdreadcc: Yes I have usb debugging on.And yes I have tried rebooting while I had usb debugging on and while it was connected to the computer via usb with no different results.
Keep your memory card unmounted ,I think here is the problem.
Sent from my LG-P500 using XDA Premium App
If you mean go to settings in the phone and unmount it then I already did that and it didn't make a difference.If you mean don't mount the sdcard when the usb notification comes up on your phone, then I have no choice.I can't get my phone to even get that (the usb notification).It's charge only when I plug it up to my computer and I have installed all of the drivers and tried everything (and yes a million times, I have usb debugging turned on).That's the whole point! I can't get the drivers to recognize the phone.I have tried it on 3 computers with 2 different micro-usb cords with never any success.
I wonder if your phone really is in USB debuging mode despite what it says. Here is a program to verify that you have rooted your phone. Gingerbreak should work on all firmware/android versions. What android version are you on? Many of the methods do not work on 2.2.1 or 2.2.2. If you go to settings/about phone you should see what you are running.
PS When you did Gingerbreak, was the APK installed on the phone or the SD card? Gingerbreak is mentioned in a number of threads. Have you check this thread? http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=13086954
Verify your root with https://market.android.com/details?id=com.joeykrim.rootcheck
I am not rooted.That's what I'm trying to do.I checked my version and it is 2.2.1.And i have always tried running gingerbreak from my phone, but it just says "rooting" forever.
Upgrade to 2.2.2 and give it a shot?
Or jst try after a hard reset o)
How would I upgrade it to 2.2.2 if i can't connect it to my computer?
Hello all,
I have a rooted thunderbolt and ADB is not working doesn't matter which rom I'm on and yes I have USB debugging checked. I want to revert to stock but am afraid to start without a functioning adb.

I'm having the same problem. I got it to work about a week ago by uninstalling easytether lite, and just a couple days ago adb was working one time (completely randomly), but now it doesn't work again
I rooted with ADB and then didnt use it for awhile. When I went back to it, after a new ROM I noticed it wouldn't connect. Not sure why. USB Mass Storage also is a little funny.
Try this:
Plug phone into computer and choose Internet pass through mode,
Wait 10 seconds
Then change to Charge only for ADB, or Disk Drive to Mount, Then it should work.

I still have Fryetech's original "revert to stock" auto terminal script, let me know if you want me to upload it.
Maybe this is something I've just missed (and yes I've searched), but I thought when I installed Sideload Wonder Machine (SWM) after getting my Captivate way back when I just turned on USB debugging.
With my Note, I rooted it following http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1518962 which was fine. I wanted to see if I could find a way to setup a mobile hot spot so I downloaded an APK.
I installed SWM. I forgot to turn on USB debugging, and when I ran SWM to load the APK it didn't give me an error. However, the app didn't load. I realized that I hadn't turned on USB debugging.
So, I switched on USB debugging, plugged the Note back into the PC, and MTP started up. But then I run SWM and get a device not found error.
I'm running stock.
Questions:
Is MTP supposed to initialize when I plug the Note into the USB? I'm assuming yes.
If USB debugging is on, why does MTP start?
Can SWM work when MTP is running, and if so, why is mine saying device not found?
Thanks
You don't need SWM with the Note. Just enable unknown sources in the phone settings.
Wow dude... Unknown sources was added in to kb2 which is the last official FROYO build.
SWM has been obsolete for about a year on that device. Unless you kept it on stock eclair and never updated it.

I rooted the Captivate when it was running Eclair then loaded custom ROMs and didn't think twice about sideloading.
I assumed sideloading was still required on AT&T stock ROMs which is what I have on the Note. Obviously a bad assumption on my part.

Check FAQ #2 check the step for your drivers. Also, make sure FASTBOOT is diabled in POWER settings. If you haven't already enable USB Debugging in Developer's Option under Settings.
