Hi, I just purchased the new LG myTouch (all myTouches are now made by LG) from tmobile and I have been trying to root it with no luck. I have been trying to use superoneclick but it always gets to step 7 and stops working. I made sure my SD card is unmounted, the phone has USB debugging turned on, I have tried the pdanet method, and I tried unplugging and replugging the USB cord but it always stops on step 7. The phone has android 2.3.4 but I have seen other threads where people with 2.3.4 got their phones rooted so why can't I? Any ideas?
Sorry if I'm posting this in the wrong place but there is no forum dedicated to this phone. I'm guessing because it just came out this month.
i just got the Q for my girl, i was wondering the same, just to remove the bloat. can someone please point me to the right direction?
Just checking in to see if anyone has found any answers.

where can i find these threads? can you point me to it... maybe i can try and find something, or do something different and help out with solving it.
EDIT: did these threads say for the MTQ or was it just a thread for a random 2.3.4 device?
The threads I saw were just for a random 2.3.4 device. I saw another thread on xda with someone trying to root this phone but just like this thread no one is answering.
Has anyone found any methods to root this phone?
Success!
After several attempts to root via SuperOneClick 2.2, I tried something totally random from another LG rooting thread that seems to have worked. Install ADB, then do:
WINDOWS> adb shell
$ echo 1 > /data/local/lge_adb.conf
$ exit
Then run SuperOneClick 2.2 and it should root properly.
I will have to give this a try on one of my Windows PC's. Linux and SuperOneClick are not playing nice together right now.

Good Job Man....Worked for me. Have root and superuser.
Ditto! Root, & Superuser
== Instructions that worked for me ==
- Download myTouch Q drivers (Search "mytouch Q usb drivers" - Can't post links yet! XD )
- Check that adb recognizes device: C:\> adb devices
- Follow eamondaly's instructions:
WINDOWS> adb shell
$ echo 1 > /data/local/lge_adb.conf
$ exit

- Run SuperOneClick v2.2
- Wait for phone to reboot (SuperOneClick seems to be paused)
- Reset USB debugging (mine was turned off after reboot)
- Wait for SuperOneClick to finish.
- Enjoy rooted phone
Thanks
Okay thanks for the root methods greatly appreciated but now I am starting to get into developing anyone can teach me how to make a system dump to try and make my own roms I am a fast learner ort at least point me in right direction thanks again
Im not shure if im doing something wrong, i had better luck rooting an xperia play, a Droid X, and a htc mytouch, but this lg mytouch wont go for me. I tryed runing adb, i know how to use, was doing a little programming with it and eclipse. Anyhow, typed everything in and this is what my cmd shell looked like...
C:\ADB>adb shell
$ echo 1> /data/local/lge_adb.conf
echo 1> /data/local/lge_adb.conf
$ exit
exit
Then i tryed running superoneclick , tryed root and shell root, neither seem to work, it goes threw some and then hangs. my phone disconnects and reconects, thats it though. i checked in terminal, typed su, access is denied. i tryed it with debugging on and off, sd mounted and not.
Any ideas or tips. im using windows vista.

you are running under admin right I know silly question but had to as lol
Thanks eamondaly
I just want to thank eamondaly for this method. I just ran superoneclick 2.3.1 and it worked perfectly. I don't know if it was your method that worked or if superoneclick 2.3.1 fixed it but all that matters is my phone is now rooted. Thanks.
Thanks a lot for the root method, I've been waiting patiently for this. Now can we get to making mods for this phone now?
Edit: Anyone having trouble sending/receiving MMS messages? I cant seem to send or receive them.
I was having an issue with receiving MMS on both my wife's and my phone. Ditching the stock messaging client and downloading Handcent resolved it for both.
Switching MMS apps didn't work. Tried a number of countless APN setups. I just decided to unroot and factory reset. Everything is working again.
titanium pro back up image
hey all,
Im sure this is a random spot for this but, since we dont have a home yet.
Im looking for a stock back up image (Titanium backup pro)with all apps and system settings. I think I may have cleared out a system file or two when cleaning out all the Tmo bloat.
Any help or other suggestions would be great.
I found another way to root easily. http://www.unlockroot.com download, install and click root. I had issues with superoneclick and the adb method but this gave me full root with superuser and now I am happy that all the t-mobile crapware is gone
I'm trying to root my T-Mobile MyTouch Q and not having any luck. It's Android 2.3.6, but I tried running "echo 1 > /data/local/lge_adb.conf" and I get a permission denied error. I tried SuperOneClick version 2.2 and 2.3.3. SuperOneClick gets to step 7 than hangs and nothing happens. It says waiting for device. I also tried Unlock Root and it fails to get shell root. I searched all over google and the xda forums, but all say to run that command then run SuperOneClick and that hasn't worked for me. Anyone have any ideas?
I followed the very helpful post from bschrib to root my newly acquired Kindle Fire for setting up the full Android Market. After the following the first few steps and trying to do "adb devices" it doesn't show any devices though my Kindle is currently connected to my laptop. I did the "adb kill-server" as suggested but still unable to see any devices when I issue the "adb devices" command. Being a newbie I'm not allowed to post on the dev forum so hoping someone here can help me with this?
Thanks
Krish
Update - a good one at that
got it figured out. Let me know if anyone out there needs the detailed solution, i'll gladly give the details
Krish
i would love the work around for this! i'm having the same problem. i went through all the instructions to the letter and even tried a few things of my own to see if i could get it to show up, but it's still blank when i do the "adb devices" command.

Hi Krish, I've just got my kindle fire last too weeks. I have upgraded to 6.2.2. Today I decide to root it and ran into the exact same problem you had. Please help me giving me a detail instruction how to do this. Thanks a lot bro.
Hello XDA,
I recently switched to Linux, so I had to set up ADB from scratch again. I am trying to unbrick my prime (CM-9 stuck in boot animation; CM-10 flashing problem with GooManager). I was following this guide up until the part where she says to enter the Vendor ID. I can't seem to get my device recognized and it keeps saying "??????????? No Permissions" I tried finding the ID online and putting it into the adb_usb.ini file, but the same message comes up when I try ./adb devices. Am I supposed to put 0x0b05 and another line underneath? What should I do? I have no idea. Please help. It's been bricked for weeks.
I apologize ahead of time if this problem has been posted already or if this belongs in a different section. I honestly tried looking around. Please help.
[UPDATED::4-30-2013]
I got it rooted by using HTC Quick Root.
I am so aggravated. I have tried rooting my rhyme and I just can't figure out how do it. I have rooted my tablet, my hubby's samsung stratosphere, jail broke a couple iPod, so I'm sorta familiar with the whole process. I unlocked the bootloader already. I have tried multiple ways & no luck. I'm sure I'm just missing some step. I'm just fed up with it & don't even want to fool with it anymore. But I want my phone rooted so I can get rid of all this Verizon nonsense I don't need since I flashed my phone to Pageplus. Can someone PLEASE help me? I will pay you to do it if you can remotely.

Have you tried the steps in 1st post here: http://androidforums.com/rhyme-all-things-root/594445-htc-rhyme-new-root-method.html ?
... but instead of the "adb shell mount /system" command - boot into recovery (hold pwr+vol up), select "mounts & storage" (or very similar, depending on CWM edition) - and select "/system".
Then carry on with the rest of the commands.
Or - there's this: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1343114
Seeing how you've already unlocked the bootloader, i guess it shouldn't be much of a problem.

Thats probably them problem right there. The first 2 commands didnt give me any errors when I got to "adb shell mount /system" command it said such&such error or file not found... something like that. I dont remember its been a couple weeks now. I will try running the commands the way you said.
Thank you! Wish me luck because Im not sure my phone will survive this go-round lol.
no matter what i do , no matter what i try its always device not found!!! Regardless of pc, mac, usb, mobilego, airdroid, terminal commands, dos prompt commands, odin, cydia, you name it have tried it! im seriously losing my mind. I just want to root my gear! Whether that entails rooting my galaxy 3 is irrelevant, i just want to open my gear! This is my last try to get some help before I THROW IT IN THE garbage! Sorry, just really upset. Thanks for any help you may be able to provide!
