Did any one use the z4root to root the LGP500 ?
Is this a fail-safe method to root this phone? If not is there one?
I'm a bit afraid to root it, because I have bought it recently and I do not what to turn it in to a brick
The software version of my phone is LG-P500-V10b Android 2.2
Thanks
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.
Cheers
I had a Windows mobile before.. but in Android yes I'm a noob
In Linux I con not say that I'm 100% noob, but close to that.
So some noob questions:
What is "adb"? and
What is universal root? Is what this link talks about ?
Thx

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?

Same for me. But older version will not install superuser automatically and it have to be download separately.

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.
i just bought a samsung galaxy legend which was recently released the first week of this month (october) by verizon and have been trying all different methods to root this phone with no luck. i finally think i have found out why i have been having issues. my phone does not go into debug mode when plugged in the pc. now i have all the options correctly checked. the developer options are turned on and the debug mode is enabled. i have tried 4 different cables, 4 different computers all ranging from win xp all the way to win 8. updated all drivers, and even tapped on the build number multiple times. any other suggestions would be very helpful. thank you very much in advance.
Try Framaroot.
I have tried that didn't work. I am sorry I forgot to say I'm running Android 4.1.2. I'm about done trying to figure this issue out. This would have been my 6th rooted phone.

try kingo root http://www.kingoapp.com/
srs root http://www.srsroot.com/
or if you have stock recovery in your phone directly install superuser.zip or probably flash cwm and then superuser.zip
Hello.. For the past week i have been trying to root my LG G2 Verizon (VS980). I have tried TowelRoot, and IROOT 10, and IROOT 25. They have all told me that my device is either not supported, or if it does work it will boot into a black screen (the part where i have to select install from adb, basically the recovery menu is. black). What should i do i really want to root my phone.

You should let us know which build of the software you are on (not just the Android version) before we can find the correct method.

Hey, thank you for your response! My device is now rooted thanks to your help!
Another thing... Would you happen to know why after i rooted my device, my phone is starting to lag a bit? The only things i installed were DSPLOIT, Freedom, and Busybox.

Seems odd. Those things don't typically produce lag, especially on a newer device like that. Have you rebooted a couple of times? Might want to check this out too:
http://www.andromods.com/tips-trick/fix-lg-g2-lag-free-fix-for-vzw-att-tmobile-sprint.html
Seems like some G2s have issues with the settings being too aggressive with temperature throttling and/or the CPU governor.

Use kingo root.
Download and install it on pc, run programm, connect your device with usb and start rooting. You have guide on youtube.
Really?

Hello,
I am for the last days trying to root the Neffos X1 Lite no success. None of the main rooting tools worked, such Kingroot, Kingoroot, Root Genius, etc.
The rooted boot image that I've downloaded from the web left the device in a bootloop with glitchs on the screen, then I've restored the stock boot imagem.
Also no CF-Autoroot zip yet.
Any ideas?

Hello, but I don't know how to do that...Could I install SuperSU through stock recovery/"update from SD Card"? I think this action will be aborted by de recovery, right?
Or maybe through the adb sideload?
Thanks.

Try using the stock recovery, there's no harm in giving it a try.
As to adb sideload, I never used it, therefore I have no idea about it.

Hello, I've tried with the stock recovery/update from sd card, and as I expected the action was aborted.
Does not have the adb sideload option.
Then, no more options, at first sight.
About porting a twrp build, I was looking at a program called "Twrp Porter", but is also resulting in some errors.
Any other ideas?
Thanks.

I was wondering if the bootloader is in fact unlocked, because just appeared a message so fast that I even could read, but I believe yes 'cause the option in Developer Options is unavaliable.
I want to root my device, but this one is beeing very hard. If you know someone with capability in doing that, I would appreciate it very much.
Thanks for your help and yout attention.

I don't think disappearance of Developer Options means you are unlocked.
Use fastboot to check status of your bootloader.
You can do this using this command:
fastboot getvar all

No, I have tried numerous times but all the attempts have failed.
Btw, you can also go for cwm.
You will find a guide for both on the forum.
And you will need a linux pc
You can also use recovery builder on builder.clockworkmod.com
