T-Mobile L9 - LG Optimus L9 P760, P765, P768, P769

I have the U.S T-Mobile LG L9 I've spent couple of days trying to root the phone, I searched the threads here and online but every root method found was too complicated for a NOOB,I know some of you are rooted but some us are not and tried to follow directions but lost on the way.
All I am asking here if anyone can some how simplify the steps for us or have a video showing the process.

I do not know if this means any thing or helps but I used this http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2258633
And it pushed Super Su to the phone but did not root.

if you feel complicate, it is better to stay whatever it comes from t-mobile.

Thanks for the link but that is the exact one I am talking about and the one I spent couple of days trying to use but failed.

I agree with you. Its kind of complicated for us noobs. Maybe if I really focus and learn the steps I would succeed but its just too much steps. I heard Verizon Galaxy S4 has a simple root method.. i hope someone finds a simple root guide for us.

It may look like a lot of instructions but it's not too bad once you get going.

Its better if you study the guide. You won't freak out on the forum when something happens. When you follow step by step others will be able to assist as needed when you can convey where you're stuck. "It doesn't work" will get you more questions than answers.

What's the problem you're running into on step 8? Can you not run the batch file?

After Step 8 it directs to another page for flashing the steps on that page I can not understand

What you need to do is read all of it first then try to root. The first page gets your phone ready for rooting. The second page gets your computer ready for rooting. The right before you start flashing the kdz file you have to set up the magic trick (replacement of the bin file). Good luck

Tried all the current methods to unlock bootloader and root. None worked and I am no noob. Some of the steps the phone doesn't respond how the guides say it will.....I'm starting to hate this phone. Lol

I know it's frustrating but the method works. I've done it several times on this phone. Listen why don't you just concentrate on one thing instead of two. Go step by step regardless if you thing you don't need it just go through it. Rooting is not hard but it's not very easy either. Sounds like your experience is getting in the way of your progress. That's just my opine. Good luck!
