Check the root and unlock guide stickied in general section. And yes FreeGee app will unlock bootloader, but unless something has changed phone must be rooted first. Look for CurrentRoot.bat for 20j.

I've rooted the phone months ago when it first came out using the root sticky guide. After getting the OTA JB update her root stayed. Am I safe to use the app? Don't want to end up with a brick. I'll post on the freegee thread and see. Thanks!

You are safe. Just make sure to do the sbl unlock in freegee.

Has anyone found a way to root a thunderbolt with version 1.70.605.0?
I believe the manual method still works on that. Haven't seen anything different.
Yes it does. I waited on it hen rooted.

I'm in the middle of rooting mine after just now taking the OTA. If the downgrade flash takes, I'm all good.
*EDIT* Downgrade took, next is copying the eng bootloader
works like a charm
Lol what's the manual method? I'm new to all this stuff.

Without the unlocked bootloader all you get it temp root. So, unless you want to do an ADB temp root on your device while running pre-release firmware, you're kinda outta luck on that front. Do you have an issue with unlocking the bootloader we should be aware of?
I just got a new photon and i was wandering if there was a method to unlock the bootlaoder. The sales rep updated the software so i have version 45.2.7 is there a way to unlock it and root it. Any ideas will help
You have a lot of reading to do. Go to the development section.
I know theres alot on the section part i just need to know which method works for this version.

I think you can run the bootloader from here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1216143
Flash it in RSDlite. It will fail, but don't panic. Pull the battery, and run the moto-fastboot command lines to verify that you've been unlocked. You can then root either via the photon-torpedo method, or AIO root method.
Good luck, and remember to charge your phone all the way!
Best,
K

No, there is not yet a fully functional unlocker. There's one that mostly works but it breaks 4G.
You can root it just fine, though, without unlocking it.

Yeah, you can root without unlocking. There are a few ways..I personally like the one click and photon torpedo methods.

Yeah if you want custom roms, you'll need to unlock the bootloader. It's a really easy process
1) Get RSDlite
2) Get the unlocked bootloader SBF file and flash it
3) Run the cmd lines to check to see if you're unlocked
4) Root and install CWM
5) Flash away!

It's okay to ask questions, just do your best to do some research and try out the different methods...I still have a ton of questions..I'm a noob to Photon too.

It doesn't? Then I'm sorry but I know that there's a way to open the boot loader by flashing an P760 kdz then open bootloader then flash back but I think that made the screen mirror all the time.

I can't find any sources on rooting the jelly bean version of the wind mobile lg optimus l9, the only source I found was one for the Canadian ICS version. Is it possible to root it or am I stuck with the stock LG rom?
You can use cydia or vroot (literally Google vroot). However, even one you have rooted the phone, you will have to unlock the bootloader to be able to use the custom ROMs you find the Android development forums. To do this I recommend using kuma82's method. But you will need quite a bit of spare time as it is a lengthy process and you may not be successful on your first attempt.
