I have been trawling around the internet, and this is turning into the most frustrating thing i have ever tried to do!
I will start from the beginning;
I was given a GSM Hero, locked to the 3UK network from a friend, with 2.1 update 1.. Im assuming this is the OTA update.
I looked into rooting and installing custom roms, i checked out a few guides and managed to use universal androot to initially root the device, But when i tried to install Amon Ra via terminal, i received the error Flash_image not found.
I then became very frustrated and decided to leave it for a while, but a few days ago i decided to persevere and try again! I read through more guides, including the guide on here, and got to know a bit about ADB and the use of RUU.
I tried the fixes noted in this thread;
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=645253
But they did not work, so i did a bit more digging and found that my firmware might need to be downgraded. So i downloaded the RUU thinking my problems had been solved!
Wrong!
everytime i run the RUU my phone disconnects and i get error 170. I have searched relentlessly for a fix but have so far found none that work!
i have also tried pushing a flash_image file onto the device, as i have come to the conclusion that it is missing from /system/bin/ but all the time i receive the error "Permission Denied" or something along those lines.
Thank you for your patience in reading this post, any help would be greatly appreciated! if there is anything else i can try or if i am being a complete noob if you could please let me know!
Cheers

EDIT: also worth noting i am running Windows 7 64bit, and have the corrrect drivers installed for my device, as far as i know!
Have you tried the instructions for root and recovery on the link you posted. The UniversalAndroot method should work. This will give you the recovery from which you will then be able to flash custom roms.
Yes i have, but when i try to use terminal (or ADB for that matter) to flash the recovery image, i get the error flash_image not found. I think that it is missing from the firmware that i am using.

Hello everyone.
Forward
Originally, I was going to flash my Droid X2's MEID to my LG OpZip's MEID and use the X2, but found out when I got home, it had to be unactivated, and I was already activated, so that plan went down the drain. I've spent the last, oh, 2 or 3 days trying to root, install a custom rom, and expand my internal storage to no avail. After doing alot of research on the issue in regards to rooting it, I found (on another site I think) that my sw version is not the same as the other OpZip's that have been rooted, and to all of my research, I cannot seem to find anything that matches my model and sw version.
Phone Information
Phone: LG Optimus Zip
Model: LGL75C
SW Version: LGL75CV1
Android Version: 2.3.4
Provider: Straight Talk (Verizon towers)
Things I've Tried
Super One Click
ADB
LG Optimus Zip One Click (different sw version)
Alright, now for the part I need assistance with... Does anyone know a root method for this phone? Are there any custom ROM's that are compatible, or am I overthinking it, and should assume most are compatible?
I look forward to any and all responses, and thanks in advance.

Bump. Don't generally like doing that, but I'm desperate to find an answer.

I'll second that bump. The model of this phone is VS700 - But many report that root attempts are unsuccessful because of the SW version.
Interestingly enough, when trying to use LG update software on my PC, it says the LGL75CV1 is indeed on the supported device list for updates, however when the LG software tries to read the SW Version from my phone, it says ERROR. I call up LG, they say all updates should be done through Tracphone.
Is there something different about the file system? are developers somehow locked out of this? Any update would be great. The phone has potential, alot of potential. Lets get it rooted guys!
bump
a friend of mine has this phone with this sw version (lgl75cv1) and is chomping at the bit for me to get it rooted for him. if anyone, anyone at all, has any info please speak up.
thanks guys
I was able to root this phone today easily using this thread referred by a user at another forum.
I can't post a link but the instructions are at androidforums under a thread called "Finally rooted M865c for Straight Talk"
It works fine for the LG Zip LGL75C 2.3.4
It was a very simple process. I am now looking for a way to install a clockworkmod recovery on the phone to make a backup. Anyone have any insight on how to install the correct CWM please advise.
LGL75c Optimus Zip
Everywhere i look it says this phone cannot be rooted because it has a locked bootloader. I even went as far as paying root android for the software which they assured me would root this phone. It failed miserably.
I am looking for anything that will help me root this phone as I want to tether the 3g to my nexus 7 tablet, to have internet wherever I go with my tablet.
How to root LGL75C
I just managed to root my LGL75C (provided by Straight Talk).
Download 2 files:
Poot .apk: sharesend. com/qe9jl6ij
Ministroll .apk: sharesend. com/8orgvw4r
EDIT: Since I'm a new user, this forums board won't let me link to the apk files. Sorry :\
Step 1:
Download the Poot-debug.apk and Minstro-ii.apk and place the 2 files in the root of Your SDCARD.
Or put both files somewhere on /sdcard and open the files via file manager/explorer.
Step 3:
Install both the Poot-debug.apk and ministro-ii.apk. (You will need to make sure that you have enabled "Unknown Sources" under the application settings menu of your phone before you will be able to install these apks.)
Step 4:
After both apks are installed open Poot. It will open up ministro-ii and download quite a few libraries that are necessary for the Poot to work. Once it has completed click the button that says, "Press here to poot", and hope for the best.
Step 5:
Pay attention the the messages displayed on the screen. Most messages should start with a
, but you should see a couple of [-].
As long as the only warning messages you receive are the following, you should have successfully rooted.
Code:
[-]current && current != last + 1: 0000ffff 0000ffff
[-]Haxx has run its coarse. Reboot the device to play again
A demon materialized while pooting. Error code: 64
You will receive these messages because Poot does not recognize the M865c kernel and is unable to clean things up without rebooting.
Again, the three warnings listed above are nothing to worry about.
Step 6:
Reboot your phone to save changes and allow the exploit to take effect.
Step 7:
Open Poot and click on the button that says Built-in rootcheck to verify that your phone is rooted. As long as Poot is able to find 'su,' and it will display its path along with a corresponding message stating success.
Step 8:
You'll probably want to download/install a Superuser app from the App Store/Google Play store, so you can give other apps su privs.

Help! I have NO experience with this stuff. I used this method, but after I pressed "Press here to poot" I go the messages "[-] didn't find symbols" and "A demon materialzed while pooting. Error code: 20 su binary was not written." Huh? I tried rebooting and then pressing "Build-in rootcheck," but the message I got back was:
Path is:

no su was found in $PATH
Any idea what this means? I'm so clueless.

Pda net works on mine but they will shut your data off till the next pay period if you use it very much they must be able to still tell its a computer some how even though it still its supposed to go through your phones browser. I don't even use it anymore. The version I have I bought before it was on playstore I imagine they are the same but you have to install it on the computer to and have the drivers for the phone.
why wont the touch screen work on my lg lgl75c
Hi guys my girlfriend bought a LG Viper 4G LTE and she told me to root it to remove the sprint crap, so I was wondering if anyone has already done this and if yes, can they tell me how to s-off + root + custom recovery + and probably custom ROM.
If anyone can help, please I'll appreciate it. Since I searched here for that phone and is not even listed.
The phone is running android 4.0.4, is this ICS or Jelly bean?
I do not know how to get into fast boot boot loader cause I don't think it is POWER + VOL DOWN.
Thanks in advanced
Have a nice day

Im trying to root mine right now and can't seem to get it to work, I've tried Root_with_Restore_by_Bin4ry_v21 and LG-Viper-ICS-Root-tool with no luck. If i get it to run all the way though and reboot it still comes up without root and with no super user. I am starting to think I may have to find a way to downgrade it and root from there.....Did you ever have any luck?

I can confirm that the above will work. I have a refurbished Viper from Sprint that I got because my 3G radio quit sending. It would receive great, but couldn't send any MMS or upload anything while on 3G. 4G was great, just no joy on 3G. Strangest thing. Anyway, got the phone replaced, and on the replacement was of course the dreaded unrooted ZVK. Gotta have my root back...
So I decided to try all this stuff out, and It worked.
To add a little further info, if you've got a relatively bare install of Windows, especially XP, you might need BOTH the VisualC++ Runtime Redistributables from 2010 (mentioned in the above thread) AND the one from 2008! If you don't have both, the LG FlashTool will not run. You can find them on Microsoft's site.
Once the flash tool has successfully downgraded your Viper, make sure you perform a factory reset, as indicated in the instructions for the FlashTool. Then use the "Activate" app to get your 3G/4G on. After that, set up your Google account under "Accounts and Sync" in "Settings".
I did the whole operation completely on a linux system, using a virtual machine running Windows XP for the FlashTool, then the bash script from here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=43530152&postcount=3253 with the v.31 rooting tool from the original post in that thread.
I had to edit the script in a very minor way, as was pointed out by its author, so it could find my adb command. I just placed the path to that command in the line that said:
Code:
for test_adb in "adb" "stuff/adb"
in the place of the first "adb", so I got:
Code:
for test_adb in "/home/user/android-sdk-linux/platform-tools/adb" "stuff/adb"
Make sure to replace "user" with your username, without the quotes.
Then I stuck the script in the same folder as the runme.bat file. After the script and root tool had done their work, my phone had rebooted a total of three times, and I had a perfectly functional Superuser app!
Huge thanks to LoveMyAndroid2010 in the post linked above. Great script - some love for linux!
Now to get RootKeeper and upgrade back to ZVK...
The aforementioned root method worked for me. Since I've rooted, I've compiled my findings into another thread. I haven't been able to unlock the bootloader yet, unfortunately.
how to upgrade LG Viper to Jelly bean or higher
After I root as per instructions, how can I upgrade the OS?
Please help. I'm a newbie and would appreciate any help you may offer. Haven't rooted any phone before.
Hi thanks for looking.
I'm a new register and newbie to rooting. And I'm currently following
[ROOT ICS L9 GUIDE] Root ICS with New Lelus method & Offline Flash [11-Mar] guide.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2173465
Unfortunately, I'm a new user register so I can't post on that message thread. So, I was instructed to post my question here.
So, I'm following the guide word-for-word from steps 0 - 8 and now I'm up to the part where it says to "When done, REMOVE USB CABLE AND POWER OFF THE PHONE."
Okay, now question:
[Q]1: For step 9a and 9b. When do I actually perform these steps:
So, currently my USB cable is removed and the L9 is power off from the above step in STEP8.
9A. says to Add lines in "hosts" file as mentioned in step 1 of this post.
So, I'm going to assume that I add the Hex-Edited BIN file and related KDZ file that I've downloaded in STEP1.
But where do I add said lines to?
[Q]2: okay so for step 9b. Start "SmallServer" as mentioned in step 2 of same post.
Where is this "SmallServer?"
In step 2 of the same post, I've already Downloaded Root_and_Flash_Guide_byCMahendra(date).zip file (attached with this post) and extract in your C-Drive.
and gotten three folders named "C:\RootLelus" and "C:\RootFlash" and "C:\shttps"
[Q]3. Okay, now that I'm just advance reading to STEP10 that asks to follow Steps 3-10. Does that mean now I have to reconnect my phone back to the PC from STEP8 and go through the steps 3-10 again, since I've already gone through it the first time around.
[Q]4. the Actual Magic.
So, which LG UPDATE TOOL is the step 11 referring to? Is this when I'm installing the driver to my PC in Step 3? Or is said LG UPDATE TOOL sometime during step 4-8?
Sorry, for all the confusing NEWBIE questions. I'm just trying to follow all the steps without bricking my new phone.
Thank you in advance for your patience and assistance.

OKay, sorry... another question.
So, I'm now flashing with the PHONE UPDATE TOOL and after going through all the steps and the 'MAGIC' swap. My phone reboots and when it turns on I get an error message:
[Driver Software Installatior
Device driver software was not successfully installed
Please consult with your device manufacturer for assistance getting this device installed.

Please let me know what I did wrong and at which point in the process do I need to repeat all the steps again to root my phone.
Do I go back and use the [GUIDE] FLASH L9 Factory ICS/JB ROM WITH OFFLINE FIX + UNBRICK
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=36351786&postcount=1
And start with STEP7 and rerun the PHONE UPDATE TOOL and MAGIC swap?
Thanks in advance.
Hmm I remember getting a driver installation error when trying to put the phone into 'software upgrade mode'. In my case, I held the 'volume up' button down and plugged the USB cable into the phone. Then I got the error notification that the OMAP driver didn't install. Yet right after this, another set of drivers installed (I'm guessing the computer took a minute to recognize the different mode of the phone?). These new set of drivers installed successfully and I was able to root with no problems.
tl;dr I disregarded the OMAP error, and rooted just fine with no problems
Have you checked if you got root after flashing? If you do have root, then you should be fine.

Protomartyr,
Ohhh..so that error message isn't the cause of my phone not being able to successfully root, huh? No, my phone still isn't rooted. Basically when my L9 is successfully rooted is when all default icons on my phone are gone right?
So, a couple new questions then.
[Q]1: Okay, I know when it's time to flash you have to hold down the volume button and then plug in the USB cable into the phone. How long do you hold the volume button down? I hold the button down until the phone turns out with the S/W flashing message and then I let go. Do, I need to hold down the button throughout the whole flashing process?
[Q]2: How can you tell if the phone is rooted? Does it look different?
I'm guessing my phone is still haven't been rooted and I'm only getting this error message.
[Driver Software Installatior
Device driver software was not successfully installed
Please consult with your device manufacturer for assistance getting this device installed.
OMAP4430 Device unplugged]
So, if the above error message isn't the cause of my failed rooting. At which step do I go back and reattempt to root my phone?
Do I go back and use the [GUIDE] FLASH L9 Factory ICS/JB ROM WITH OFFLINE FIX + UNBRICK
http://forum.xda-developers.com/show...86&postcount=1
And start with STEP7 and rerun the PHONE UPDATE TOOL and MAGIC swap?
You wouldn't see a difference once you rooted right off the bat. You should see the SuperSU app in your apps list if you followed the procedure. However, having the SuperSU app doesn't mean you are rooted (SuperSU binaries must be installed as well and this requires super user privileges).
To check if you have rooted successfully, the best way is to just download 'Root Checker' here (Click Me for Link)
Once you install Root Checker and open it, you should see a notification asking for Root Checker to get super user privileges. Accept the notification and you should see 'Root successful' or something along those lines.
Let me know if Root Checker says 'successful' or not, and maybe we can troubleshoot after that?

Hey Protomartyr,
Cool, my phone installed SuperSU in my apps menu and Root Checker says my phone has been rooted. Now I just need a guide or info on how to remove the bloatware and what I can do with my rooted phone. Thanks for all your assistance and guidance.

No problem. Congrats on getting root :highfive:
As far as removing bloatware safely is concerned, you might have to ask someone else (I'm still a newbie at these things). You can remove/disable them using Titanium Backup (from the app store). Proceed with caution though, as you don't want to remove an app that the phone needs to function. From what I hear, it's safer to just disable unneeded apps (though even then you must tread carefully). Titanium Backup is also useful for backing up all your apps/system apps/user data.
As far as what you can do with root...well that's like asking how many drops of water are in the ocean You can fully customize your phone and even install a new ROM; just naming a few. You can get a better picture of what people are doing with their phones in this thread [Click Me] as well as the other LG L9 threads.
Enjoy!

As the new and mostly happy owner of an MID7065-8, I too would appreciate information on rooting and modding this device. I bought it online, so was unaware it was not rooted (and Coby's website was no help). Because it's so new, it may take awhile for mods to appear, but as the tablet is a great deal, and even has Bluetooth, I suspect Coby will sell a ton of them.
I am interested in this tablet and would like to see if it's possible to root it as well!
How to change 7065 Build Properties?
Also need root method for MID7065, apparenty in order to be able to change a Build Property (GPS.enable).
I tried the Bin4ry method - http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1886460 - and could not get it to work.
I thought I got the adb W64 driver part working OK - Device Manager shows ANDROID with the Google driver installed OK. Used this guide for that: http://www.teamandroid.com/2012/07/30/how-to-set-up-adb-fastboot-with-android-sdk/ However, CMD adb devices does not list the device.
Anyone alternately have a suggestion for changing the Build Property on this thing w/o needing Root?
Thanks for your help!
Chris
I also spoke with Coby tech support a few weeks ago and was informed that adb will not work with this particular model. Just an fyi for all those looking for rooting info for this tablet, a friend and I are starting to work on this issue and have no idea when we will get to the issue at hand. When we do, I will let you all know what the outcome is and will pass along this info when it comes available.

I was able to get ADB working on the MID7065.
First, I followed these instructions: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1983470
That got the ADB driver installed in Windows, but the device still wasn't being seen. Then, I followed these instructions starting with the 5th paragraph: http://blog.fh-kaernten.at/wehr/?p=1182
That did the trick.
I'm very much looking forward to anyone reporting a successful root of this device.

After this I successfully rooted my Coby MID7065 with UnlockRoot Pro v3.41 (free download) at this site http://www.unlockroot.com/download.html. Installed the program, run it and in about one minute it was done.
Thanks everybody and I hope it will help.
Alternate Root Method
If anyone figures out a root method for the Coby 7065 or 8065 other than by using UnlockRoot or UnlockRootPro, then please post it here.
I started installing UnlockRoot but the installer bombarded me with junkware. I quit the install and went back to the previous restore point in Windows to get rid of whatever it managed to dump on my PC. I also read the posting at "https://github.com/CunningLogic/BurritoRoot#readme" by the author of BurritoRoot, and it further made me wary of UnlockRoot.
