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?

My phone was rooted a month ago using superoneclick. Then, three days ago, i unrooted it to update my phone to get the multi-touch function. Now, i tried every possible rooting method, including z4root, universal androot, superoneclick etc. When i use superoneclick, it keeps showing "Device has temporary ADB root, Reboot to remove it". I rebooted many times and tried again but it keeps showing it.

Read, read, read.
You need NEW superoneclick or NEW flash tool!
I can only temporary root. Superuser stays after reboot but useless. i nid shell root. Plz tell me how....

Use updated flashtool (0.2.6) in dev section.
please note: i do not own an optimus v. i've only had the pleasure of rooting one.
if you follow the directions for ROM Tools, it will give you what you need.
using SuperOneClick... press the button that says "shell root".
after obtaining shell root...
Run the application Z4root.
neither of these programs work by themselves but in this combo, this should root your optimus v. it will be up to you to flash recovery and whatnot.
you are welcome.
Awesome. Thank you.

I rooted my optimus v about three or four days ago just by using SuperOneClick 1.6.5. Once the phones drivers were installed, I clicked the root button and waited. That's all it took.
With Z4 Root, should I pick temporary or permanent root? it crashes with both, currently
when i run one click it says it ran a su successfully but i dont have root.
i used superoneclick and it crashed but 'adb shell' gave a root prompt. then i pushed 'su' and 'busybox' binaries. voila.
I have just bought a replacement Optimus V from Bestbuy. I have previously rooted my old Optimus V bought in August with the latest zergRush. Unfortunately, my replacement will not root with any method I have tried. zergRush does not automatically restart adb and any attempts to log in with adb are met with error: closed. Fastboot is locked, of course.
A person with the same problems and conclusion is here:

Is this phone truly unrootable right now?
If so, is this the only unrootable Android phone currently?
If so, what are the chances the Motorola Triumph will be patched this way? I wanted to exchange for one but not if it is going to be locked up too.
Which Android version is it? I think you could use KDZ to downgrade the version and then root it.
Of course first try these methods: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=15309588&postcount=2
Just got my wife a new optimus v and rooted it with Gingerbreak v1.20 with no prob. Most likely has new screen so needs recovery and rom with kernel compatible with new screen
Need to have sdcard in phone and USB debug turned on for gingerbreak to work properly.

Got an Optimus V earlier this month, one of the ones with the newer Optimus S screens. Had no problems rooting it with gingerbreak.
Did you try gingerbreak again if it failed? It took quite a while to finish on mine (upwards of 12 mins.)
Sorry for the delay. I ran into a lot of problems compiling.
This one is running 2.2.2 like the last one. The last one was successful with zergRush though.
There is no official firmware available for the phone so I do not think KDZ can be used.
z4root - I don't know how to compile this.
I can build the shared libraries easily enough, but when it comes time to build the apk I get errors in Eclipse. I have never used Eclipse before. I installed the ADT plugin of course. I get similar errors with ant (after creating build.xml and local.properties) which I have used successfully before. The error is "method does not override a method from its superclass".
zergRush - gives "error: closed"
psneuter - gives "error: closed"
gingerbreak
gingerbreak exploit - gives "couldn't open output file". I tried several times with and without sd card.
gingerbreak apk - no source? Is the only solution to decompile the apk?
superoneclick - no source?
rageagainstthecage - no source?
Thanks for any help.
Edit:
Success! I was able to get a version of gingerbreak to work. Thanks for the input.
which version of gingerbreak worked with froyo 2.2.2
SeWhnt from my LG-MS690 using XDA App
zergRush worked on 2.2.2 with my first V. I had to use this version of gingerbreak on my second V with 2.2.2. I never tried the apks that are floating around.
I downloaded the gingerbreak v1.20 apk from this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1044765 , transfered to root of sdcard and installed with easy installer. Have to check to allow installation from unknown sources under settings - applications and turn on usb debug mode under settings - applications - development before running. Then just run gingerbreak from your app drawer and select root.
^ That's the method I used. I personally think it's the easiest way.
Hi, i have used the process on this website to try to root as well as SuperOneRoot and Vibrant one click root and none of them seem to work!
When i have to go into recovery mode it says E:\ signature verification failed
According to superoneroot my phone is rooted even though it has no superuser. Also, i downloaded a terminal emulator and typed in su and it says permission denied. Furthermore, i downloaded a root checker and tried that and it doesn't seem to work...
After looking on the internets for this problem it seems to have something to do with the update tmobile sent out after there froyo update. But i didn't really understand how to solve the problem...
so, can someone explain to me how to root the phone as of now?
Well... you could flash CWR and then flash a ROM (damn near all of them) that already comes rooted
YouTube a tutorial.

Get vibrant tool box make sure you go on your vibrant and turn on usb debugging, hit root in the program and BAM! (also install drivers if you need to)
The vibrant is the easiest phone to root YouTube it like randomfied said
SuperOneClick
Hey make sure you get the latest version of SuperOneClick, make sure USB Debugging is enabled, and make sure you computer recognizes your vibrant (The best way is to get the drivers from samsung/t-mobile and install them anyway). I have rooted from 2.1 and 2.2 both with SuperOneClick.
Is it possible to be able to Root an LG c800 Mytouch Q 2.3.6 from tmobile? I got it a long time ago on stock firmware on 2.3.6 and I really want to root it to get a few tweaks etc. I am new to the android scene. So if anyone can tell me how or even if it is possible to even do this. I have been searching around for hours now and cant find a guide/ don't know if it still works. Thanks! :fingers-crossed:

I just rooted my LG c800 Mytouch Q on 2.3.6 from mobile.. it was also on stock.. this is what i did after trying for many hours.. i downloaded superoneclick and ran the shell root.
( you would need to have adb on your computer if you dont know how to do this go here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1752704&page=25 and start from page one)
Make sure to check USB Debugging on your phone and have the phone drivers installed..if you follow the link above you should be able to get all files that are needed
After running shell root i was stuck on waiting for device i waited for about a minute and nothing happened so i re ran shell root and same thing ocurred but dont worry re running it just made the shell root install.. after it got stuck on waiting on device again i clicked on root and from there my device rebooted and a pop up appeared stating my device is now rooted and if i wanted to check to see if i was rooted i selected ok and SU aka super user was now on my phone.. now my device is rooted and can proceed to install CWM.. if you have any questions PM me..i can walk you threw the process..
