Dude ive tryed reading that...i tryed the l9 recovery installer snd it said something went wrong...its just one thing after another!
Read instructions slowly a few times. We always miss a step the first few times. It took me literally 10 times because I was rushing through too fast.

ha ha ha. good one.
some fellas buy the phone without looking at XDA (THATS ME IN NOV 12) and rushes here on XDA expecting ONE CLICK ROOT solution which is not available as yet. And then gets frustrated and then posts thread like this without even trying on their own. After some spoon-feeding by others, they root it. Sorry to say but I have seen many such lazy pals here. no kidding.

i had to try over and over. took me hours, and i'm very tech minded.
just keep trying. if you can't within a few more days, i'm sure ppl will be more than glad to tell you where you went wrong.
BUT, you will need to keep track of what you've tried, what it's done, and what it said. without all that info, we can't help.

I will give a hint. This rooting needs some good flashing experience beforehand.
Forget Rooting. Just try flashing various compatible KDZ roms on your phone for a day or two with offline fix method for at least do it 5/8 times. Once you are familiar with flashing the KDZ (rom), then rooting will be very easy after that.

Nothing is fail-safe.
That's why developers aren't reponsibles if you brick your device.
There is allways that chance.
I used the universal root and everything is working well.
If you are noob in this area, just read a litle more about using abd and flashing shipped ROMs.

Rooting itself is not problem I think. But, more possible problem can come with other solutions like firmware update/rewrite, flashing of custom ROM. For what do you need rooting?

Not for flashing...
Some apps can only be used in a rooted phone.
So my purpose is only to use these apps, not for flashing the phone with other ROMs
Rooted today
I just rooted today, Sunday, December 5 2010, an Optimus One which I have under t-mobile, using z4root. No problems at all. In fact, my only worry was that it might not have been correctly rooted because all I had to do was press a button, it restarts and that's it. Nothing else. I then removed all bloatware and the retarded unremovable trial version of pacman.
I have v10 and had downloaded all over the air upgrades that I had received up to that point, and it still worked perfectly. Also, I have Froyo.

So, in this case I thing that most better way is using of z-Root. There shouldn't be problem at all.

Welcome to the ROOT Team
Neither the z4root or the universal root worked for me on my girlfriends Optimus. z4root simply didn't work... tried about 5 times with no success. The Universal root stopped responding pretty much immediately. I'm pretty sure I followed directions to a "T". Anyone have suggestions?

That's the one that stops responding everytime I try it. I see ADB listed twice in the task manager... is that normal? As soon as ADB starts running is when it stops responding.

hmm.. do you have lg pc suite? it contains usb drivers for the optimus one.. without those you can't root.
superoneclick method:
turn on in phone settings, applications, develop, usb debugging
connect phone.. don't go into usb storage option (don't mount sd card).
right click on .exe -> run as administrator if you haven't.
and if you are on windows 7 or vista try to set compatibility options.
click root.
sorry if i tell you what you already know, but maybe it helps.
I downloaded the drivers from LG website for the Optimus One, run Superoneclick as administrator using Windows 7 64, checked usb debugging on the phone, etc. I have no idea why this is not working for me. I had no problems rooting my MyTouch Slide, which is pretty complex compared to this. My girlfriend says she doesn't care if I figure it out since its her phone, but the man in me just HAS to figure it out HAHA.
It's weired, I had no problem to root my phone using z4root.
I was on stock V10A (Europa) and z4root worked very well. I had upgraded to V10D using LG's crappy software, and after rooting it again with z4root it was well working.
Have you tried to use LG's firmware instead of the operator's one ?
I finally got it rooted using z4root. Said to myself that I would try "one more time" and POOF... it worked. Thanks everyone for your help.

Fr3vo is working on an app, but that isn't out yet. That method lets you re apply your root without a PC.
Oh oh ohhh... Sorry... I thought... my bad
In that method you install it from computer mad then if it bonks out on you, all you need to do is go into terminal and type SU and its back.
I see you're asking for a TOTALLY computer-less method.
Not yet. Teamwin is working on one supposedly called fre3vo^2 it was thought to be coming out earlier this month by a few but obviously it hasn't yet. Just have to wait, the devs are working hard to get everything working, It's a ton of work
okay so i was rooted before the ICS OTA and used voodoo but that failed.... it says i have a protected backup and when i try to restore it, it says successful but it is not, and the little box saying if i have root access never becomes checked. so is there a way to fix voodoo and retrieve my root that way? if not, how can i root my razr maxx? ive heard about matt's tool 1.6 or something but i CAN NOT find it! the site it is on blocks it from non-members but when i tried to become a member, it wouldn't accept my login creds. so i tried again and again with different emails and it just wouldnt work so its safe to say im pissed and tired of that site. please advise? or link me?
and on another note- what is the best way to install a custom rom with the razr? i did it with my old D2G but i want a refresher. and also any suggestions on good roms for it? 99% stable please haha
thank you!!!!!!!!
If you're already on ota ics, and rootkeeper apps aren't restoring root, then I would try a fresh root method.
As far as Matt's utility, you'll be able to find that at droidrzr.com. There are different versions, so I would suggest reading up on which ones do what to see which one suits your needs. I used version 1.7 to pre-ota my maxx, but haven't rooted because I haven't felt the need to. One of them (or maybe all) can be used to root ics.
As far as what rom to choose, all I can say is try a few out and see which one works best for you. There are a couple good ones, but with devs being so limited on what they can put together, nothing will be absolutely perfect. I would recommend safestrap recovery because it works in a way I haven't seen other custom recoveries work before and it seems pretty solid to me. Used it on my last maxx, this being my third because of my job now ruins my phones (welding).
Hope this helps.
EDIT:
Can anyone post any links for alternative download for Matt's utils. I just went to the site and like this fellow said above, its not letting me in either, though I've logged in there plenty of times before.....
Strange. :-\
EDIT2:
And safestrap is an app you can download from play that will install the custom recovery for you after you have achieved root. ;-)

thanks for the info! im familiar with how the utilities work, i used an older one to root my razr before the ICS OTA, i just cant find the dang thing! haha
and okay safestrap. ive heard good things about it before, so thank you again. my main concern is that ive heard that many roms run on the x910 but not the x912, which is what i have, so i dont want to brick my phone. is there a stable cm9 for the razr? or could anyone just give me some names to work with? i dont mind searching, i just trust you guys the most haha

An option is to use Bootmenu (by Whirleyes) to setup a second system (webtop). To use it you need to be on ICS and more info can be found on this link http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1720351
The benefits of it is that you dont affect your mainsystem, so you can always go back if a rom gives you some troubles.

Okay I have tried everything I could before coming to this point, so you guys are my last hope... Basically I upgraded my partners live with walkman phone to ICS. Now she is complaining because it crashes all the time etc... So I followed one of the guides on here to downgrade. I downloaded flashtool and I downloaded the firmware. I deleted everything in the frimware folder as per the instructions. I then copied ans pasted the gingerbread firmware into the folder and exited...
Then whenever I try to flash it, it says I need to install the drivers... I've tried to do that by going to the drivers folder etc. I've installed everything in there but nothing works and the LWW isn't listed anyway...
I've even tried doing this through my linux partition and that was a little over my head... Had to do all sorts in the terminal, I did try but no luck there either...
I've seen people in the comments ask for help and they seemed to have no problem when directed to the guide... I have follwed the guide to a tee multiple times, this is why I hate myself! lol

Ahhh okay thanks for the advice, I'll take a look...
I was trying to return to stock using Heimdall. It failed for some reason. Whenever I have tried to use it it always says it failed but this time it went further then usual but the end result was a fail. I think it just repartitioned but I'm not sure. Anyways the only thing it would do is boot into cwm and download mode. So I restored a backup a previously made. Same thing it only booted into download mode and cwm. So I went and tried to flash through odin. Everything worked fine and still the same thing. So then I followed the unbrick thread on XDA and flashed the file and everything finished and said successful but my device would not boot up at all. Doing a little more research it seems that the unbrick method was for 5.0 devices only which I don't know why it isn't placed in plain sight for everyone to see but anyways now I have a dead device. Has anyone had any success with fixing this problem?

Wrong attitude, man. XDA is a free service and you are soliciting unpaid help. Follow the forum rules.
Most, if not all, of our Galaxy Player forum developers and contributors pay attention to all threads and you will get an answer from someone who knows.

It might be a kernal issue. Try flashing a kernal for the 4 and see if that works.

Alright, let's all take a deep breath and chill. We empathize with you, dude, we really do.
We need to address another XDA rule that you overlooked. (Understandably. No biggie. Not calling you out, just saying.)
When you post on XDA, you need to be as thorough about your problem as possible, so we don't clutter the thread with Q&A.
1. Symptoms of the problem: What works and doesn't?
2. Any reactions to button presses? Lights? Screen? Sound?
3. Any evidence that it's booting?
4. Does your computer register that it's being plugged in?
That'll help you get started. List anything else that might be noteworthy. Someone will help you.
Also, nightfire brings up a good point. Try flashing the stock kernel for your device via ODIN.
EDIT:
What procedure did you go through when you were following the (wrong) un-brick instructions? Because, if your device is totally unresponsive, you've probably got yourself a Galaxy Paper Weight. If it's not something as dire as that, there may still be hope.
Did you attempt to flash a 5.0 bootloader on a 4.0? A wrong kernel flash wouldn't screw up your device as badly as that. You may need to re-partition some things (/efs and PIT, perhaps) and re-flash stock ROM.
But, please, work with us here and be specific about exactly what you did that led up to the current.
Screen doesn't turn on at all and odin doesn't recognize it.
I used this method....."[10/13]Brick Station! Here to solve your brickable needs! BOOTLOADERS AVAILABLE!!!". I'm not even sure anymore why I felt I needed to use that method but before I followed those steps my SGP would only go into download mode and CWM. I flashed roms and kernels using odin and it said pass...reset. I even restored an old backup but no matter what I did it always rebooted back into CWM. I followed the brick station steps but not the un-resurrectable part because my problem wasn't that extreme but after following through with those steps I now have a device that requires the un-resurrectable method but now I know that it's only for the 5.0. When I connect my device to my laptop it makes a sound like there is some life but nothing pops up...turns on or flashes. I even used a usb jig to try and get it to download mode but nothing at all.
Thank you guys for the help.

Have you tried this ?http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1531850. So what I gather is you can get to the download mode. If you can then you can fix it. The link I posted here is a good place to get everything you need. Use Hemidall method this was the only way to fix it. I had no luck with Odin. If your PC is not seeing your player go into device manager and remove everything under universal USB. after that click on the action menu and scan for new hardware. It will reinstall the usb stuff. reboot PC. Then get the samsung USB drivers install them. Next if you correctly installed hemidall it should work and see your deivice. Read the info ib this link carefully pick the right player. Down load the PIT file for your player. Then in hemidall install the partitions in the correct order as in the instruction. Let me know if this helps or if I can help you more

No progress with getting my SGP working. I don't think I'm explaining my problem correctly because people are telling me to follow the steps that got me to this point lol but all the help is appreciated.
If you press and hold POWER + VOLUME DOWN for about 10 ~ 15 seconds, do you see a screen with a yellow construction-like sign appear? If so, you are in download mode, and that is a good thing. Try it and let me know.
Nope nothing turns on at all. I dont think its a complete brick yet because i get a beep sound from the computer when i connect it but no signs of life on the device.
