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.

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

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.

Since there doesn't appear to be specific drivers for your phone I would recommend installing koush's universal adb driver from here http://download.clockworkmod.com/test/UniversalAdbDriverSetup6.msi. After you install those drivers see if your computer recognizes your phone.

What root procedure are you using and what root procedures have you tried that have not worked or are causing problems for you? Additionally what version of Android is your phone running?
I've tried all apks that I can think of.plus bin4ry.there are a few of them I've tied plus superoneclick
.the bin4ry goes through the process and says all done but its not rooted superuser and busy box are installed but no root also the phone is on 4.1.1 jb.

If Superuser has been installed try going into the Superuser app then under the info tab tap the version number of Superuser and select the tap to check for updates option. It should after checking for updates show an update button tap the update button. After it has updated reboot the phone and see if this helps with your root problem. My other suggestion would be to download Root Checker Basic https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.joeykrim.rootcheck and see if that says your rooted.
Yes I just did that and also checked supersu. Root check say's both are installed but root check failed no such binary installed .and superuser and super su can't download binary

Another root exploit you could try using is the Motochopper root exploit which you can find more information about from here.
Yes well as I said I've tried just about everything and that was one of them lol.I might just have to wait till any devs gets hold of one and developes a root app.until then I'm going to keep having a go .there is more than likely something I haven't tried.

So guys my S4's GPU went out on me so i had to get a refurb. Im very happy that its still on MDK firmware but its trying to push the update, which is why im thinking its not allowing me to root it. Ive followed all the steps but once i run the moto exploit it doesnt allow me to select any options on my phone to finish the root process.
Any ideas would be great guys
What are you taking about? The only thing you do on your phone is update supersu when it tells you to. Everything else is done in the motochopper console.
