Has anyone figured out how to root the Pantech Burst without a PC? I am using a Mac, and after a lot of searching I got my phone to go into Fastboot using Androtility. Now Im trying to push prestoroot.img but I cant get any command to work in Terminal.
If anyone can give me some tips to get me to the next step it would be awesome. Or if someone knows of an alternative rooting method. One click apps havent worked unfortunately.

Okay, so I have tried every way of rooting my optimus v. The fastboot root , manual adn commands , superoneclick, but none of them work. I've followed every direction step by step.
When I use superoneclick and click shell root it gets to about the 5th line and reads pushing psneuter. Error

Everytime. Idk what I'm doing wrong. I'm on windows xp home. Can anyone help me?

Gingerbreak worked for me...
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1044765
+1 for gingerbreak. just download it and run
adb install *file*
or on a mac:
./adb install *file
replace *file* with the Gingerbreak file name. To make it easy I just renamed it to 'gingerbreak.apk'
I couldn't get fastboot to work on a Windows xp machine either. I would suggest finding someone with a Windows 7 machine that you can use and try fastboot again. That worked out perfectly for me.
Thanks guys for the replies I've been stuck on this for two weeks. I'm going to try the gingerbreak and let you know how it goes.

Alright I used gingerbteak and it seems to have worked. I tried wireless tethering for root users and superusers permissions popped up, I said allow and it worked. Now what do I do lol? Did Gingerbreak install a custom recovery already so I can flash custom Rome? I'm not sure what to do now.

Ok I did. But aren't I supposed to have a custom recovery so I can do that manually, or do a nand backup?

You can try rerooting it with superoneclick and if that doesnt work let me know

Hi, sorry to thread hijack but I also have this tablet, now I'm new to the world of android and rooting. But I have tried Superoneclick and it either won't work or it freezes on step 2. I tried a japanesey program and that said success but checked with root checker and no luck, I also tried a package someone had put together and that gave me superuser but still root checker said no.
To get the drivers for my tablet I used Moborobo and it downloaded them automatically. I assume I put the device into recovery mode correctly hold down vol + plug in usb and press power 10 times and the android appears which has fallen over? Well I got this image anyways and tried again but the japanesey program didn't even recognise and superoneclick just froze again at the same point, step 2.
Is there anything you could suggest? Or anyone know a fool proof way of rooting these tablets. I am new so might need a little more explanation than most, I read something about using scripting and I have no idea where to even start with that.
Thanks in advance,
Mike
I seem not to be able to root my Optimus G. Is it because my software number ends in 20J? I'm kinda new at this. Please help

you need fiddy's universal root from the sprint section. It'll work fine.
I already tried it. It keeps saying abd isnt a command or something like that. And when it did say it rooted it didnt install superuser. Amd it wasnt rooted either

The root method works, sounds like you need to educate yourself on how to use ADB correctly.

I have used it twice, and it took many tries before it worked. I just kept restarting current root bat. over and over until it worked.

Hey everyone, I had my LG Optimus rooted successfully using Motochopper but I ended up getting a update and it removed the root, I re-ran Motochopper like five times and not a single was successful so I'm assuming that update patched the exploit.
Is there anyway I can root it other than Motochopper or anyway I can get Motochopper to work again..?

Have you tried Cydia Impactor? someone on another forum reported working after the OTA update. BTW did you modify/deleted any system apps before applying the OTA?
No I haven't, I've been looking for alternatives for rooting but only Motochopper came up.
As for system modification no.

EDIT:
I quickly looked up a guide on that and attempted to do it.
I get this error(See attachment), not sure if there was a way to fix this or if it just simply isn't compatible.

Can you link to the guide or provide what step it's failing on? Note the part about having 'adb devices' able to detect the phone first when it's connected to the PC:
"If you are on Windows, you may have to install a device driver to talk to your device over USB. If your device is not detected, use Impactor's USB Driver Scan feature to attempt to automatically construct and install a driver for your device. You do not need the Android SDK."
Or come to this forum, the guy 'umar805' claimed he re-rooted after the OTA update using both Cydia Impactor and Kingo.
http://androidforums.com/metropcs-t...oot/803573-new-system-update.html#post6320053
Well I wasn't getting stuck first of all.. it says that after the attempt completes, basically all the guide said was to click start with
"# drop SuperSU SuperSU to /system/xbin/su" selected..
I have the drivers installed and when running "devices" command with adb it detects it.
I try Driver Scan with Cydia Impactor and it just says "No such device"

EDIT:
I tried Kingo and it seemed to have worked!, I have root access back so Kingo seems to work fine for it.
Kingo seems to be the easiest way to root any phone. I've heard of no cases where it doesn't work lol.

I have rooted successfully with Kingo. How do I delete unwanted bloatware? I can only delete the updates. Thanks.
I tried rooting my phone several times using KINGO and it always failed it says ConnectionUnstabitil
Hey all, I'm trying to root my new Note 2. Its 4.1.2 Broad band VRAMC3
I've been trying to run Casual but I keep getting critical errors.
I need help y'all. I've been looking but I can't seem to find the old Odin way of rooting. Is it still valid, and where would I find it? Thanks y'all.
TIA!!
What exactly is going wrong when you try using casual?
And strange question, but do you have access to a Mac? The guide even says casual runs best in OSX, and I just spent a day messing with Odin trying to restore VRAMC3 and root it with casual on my PC. First try on my Macbook and I was rooted with no issues.
Just saying...

No, I don't have a MAC, I had 3 different Windows Laptops. 2 windows 7 and ` Win 8. I keep getting a critical error during the process. Its almost finished rooting and it gets some bloody error. Very frustrating. I rooted my previous note 2 and my wifes with Zero issue.
I also have this pastebin Casual log. http://pastebin.com/eS28ZvCa
There is no pastebin....
