SORRY FOR MY ENGLISH
Here is a tutorial made by me. Try to be as clear as possible to no have doubts.
First of all, gives root access permissions and capabilities of advanced settings changes that normal users can not. This expands the use of some applications that only work if the unit is rooted.
*** IMPORTANT ***
Make every procedure at your own risk. Doing it wrong can brick your phone and turn it into a very stylish paper weight. I´m not responsible for possible damage.
PROGRAMMES REQUIRED
Z4root-1.3.0
FOOTSTEPS
1 - Download z4root.apk, transfer it to a folder on the SD card;
2 - Go to Settings -> Applications -> Development -> Enable USB Debugging;
3 - Go to File -> Files from the SD card and locate the "z4root.apk";
4 - Select and install "z4root.apk";
5 - Go back to menu and select z4root;
6 - When the application open, select "Root";
7 - After the process of Root and the unit will restart when you return he will be rooted;
The whole process takes no more than 5 minutes. With the unit rooted will show a new icon, "Superuser" menu, there you can manage the applications that will be allowed access.
The whole process was done by me using Windows 7 Ultimate x32.
It took about 3 minutes. I am available for questions.
I had just installed z4root on my phone, n rooted from there.
But for me it took arnd 30 min or so. So if some1 doesnt get it done in 5 min, dont get scared. It mite take a while longer...
My one is UK version and please install > Temp root > Permanant root (if you want)
Else you may get a hang of system. It took me about less than 1 minute for whole process. Thank you.
Used z4root 1.3 (though not with instructions from here)...did permanent root as had read temporary didn't work and had no issues. Process took under a minute once I enabled use debugging as requested in the app...

sorry about that.
i edit the post.
z4root did not work on my Milestone 2. It force crashes every time.
It is a Brazilian version.
I have a problem, z4 it's about 15 minutes that is locked on:
"runninge exploit in order to obtain root access"
I must to wait? If I shut my milestone I risk to brick?
edit:
reboot -> no brick -> "re z4" -> 30 second -> rooted!

That isn't working on mine either. I get to "acquiring root shell" and z4root exits to the home screen. No force crash, just closes.

my build: MILA2_U6_3.21.0 <-- That is correct, I have never applied an SBF file, only automatic updates
Baseband: EPU93ST2_U_03.0C.00
Android Version 2.2.1
Kernel Version: 2.6.32.9
Put your phone in Airplane mode, and then run z4root.
No idea why it won't work without doing this, but it does.
I also had problem obtaining temporary root, but seen as I use various programs that require root privileges it didn't bother me much - permanent root works perfectly.
I probably just have to wait for z4root 1.4.0. Nothing in this thread works.
My MS2 is the Brazilian Retail version, and the z4root hasn't work for me too. I had followed the procedure step by step, and after a very long time, my phone reboot, and when it turns on again nothing has happened. Did you know some other way to have root acess for the MS2?
This is my very first Android, and after that I was afraid to try again. (In my old HTC Wizard thats all too easy)
Thanks,
Pablo
i think that have new updates then because that the version 1.3 z4root dont work, mine cant get new updates telling that dont have updates yet.
Android version: 2.2
Baseband: EPU93ST2_U_03.02.00
Hi, i have xperia x10, I had it rooted with z4 before, but now i updated to new "multitouch" update and I can't root now, all passes good, but my phone won't restart and I can't even run z4 if I don't restart phone, plz help

Hello My Friends I've Heard You Are Having Troubler Installing The New Upgrade Or Understanding What Is Needed To Be Done.
Note: THIS IS A WINDOWS BASED HOW TO AND WILL WORK ON WINDOWS ONLY
Before I Start I must Say, This Is a combination of process and I have not created any of those files or own the right to them so all the links are the same links found on other posts from where i got the info, so by downloading those files you are, supporting them not me i take no credit for this work
Well Here Is the quick Easy Guide In How To Do This
-Fist we Need To Get The Tools To Perform This Operation
pulled From This Tread we need
1. Motorola Drivers For Either 32 or 64 Bits
2. RSD Lite, witch is a tool for flashing your phone.
3. The GOT Open Recovery ToolUpdate: Added Latest version from G.O.T.'S Blog
4.The Firmware Files From Got
2.2.1 FIRMWARE FILES

EDIT: G.O.T. Has Added the burnerable open recovery to these sfb files so no need to flash it latter
-Now That We Have The Stuff We Need We are going to do it, fist i must say that unlike other roms that are applied by a backup restore (corect me if im whrong) this is a full flash and its going to reset everything so no apps will remain no setting will remain and is highly recommended that you uninstall every app you have, don't back them up(except for apps some apps that have a create backup file, those seem to work) just uninstall them, and when we are done have them installed again, Here Is A Tool That Will Help You Get There Faster
1.ok you have everything uninstalled right? now time for some action
2.install the proper divers (32 or 64)
3.install the RSD Lite tool
4.unzip the 2.2.1 FIRMWARE FILES you downloaded and you will find a ".sbf" file
5.now connect your phone to USB cable and turn it off
6.boot it in boot-loader mode (press the D-PAD UP key while pressing the power button), some night need you to release the button after a minute, a black screen will be shown on your phone and you will see the divers being installed on your computer.
7.when drivers are done open the RSD Lite tool and your device should appear you can click on it to see details.
8.now click on the "..." buttons that are close to the start button and look for the ".sbf" file, after a couple of seconds it should be ready to start
9.press the start button and do not unplug the cable or let your computer show the screen saver or go to sleep, the posses must not be stopped while it has started .
10.when the posses is done the devise will restart and voala, you have 2.2
-As GOT stands there are some bugs on the firmware and they have developed a fix to them and get root and overclock, here is what you have to do.
1. unzip the got open recovery tool into the root of your SD card
2.check this quote
NOTE: On some devices, we have encountered that rooting directly after flashing without rebooting after the initial flash can bring some issues with RootExplorer not asking for root permissions. To be safe, reboot after flash so that the “welcome to milestone” menu comes up, set up the device in general, then reboot to recovery and root the device as well as apply our 2.2.1 tweaks with Launcher, Services.jar fix and Wireless Tethering app.
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
this means if the fist time your milestone got restarted and you saw "Welcome to Milestone" Message You are good an you can root.
but if you didn't then restart you phone and see if the message comes out, if not , a factory reset should have that scree message shown.
3. open the open recovery by pressing camera and power button at the same time while the device id off. you should see a scree with a "!" symbol on it then press fist volume rocker up button a leave it pressed then press camera button, some letter will pop out.
4. using the pad scroll down to "apply update.zip", after a couple of seconds the GOT menu should pop out (everything from now on uses the pad)
5.root your phone (why not)
6.go down to "Launch 2.2.1 Menu" Option.
7.Here you will see the "Fix Bugs They Are Talking About
One of the first things you should do is use the “Fix 2.2.1 bugs” selection in the new OR 2.2.1 menu after you flash the sbf file.
This tweak will fix some of the issues with the generic sbf build such as dual USB notifications, replacing some stock Motorola applications such as the old launcher/mediagallery and adding the Wireless Tethering application.
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
8. there is the overclock too.
Now your device should have all the things you need to start playing with it,I encourage you to check on some tweaks the GOT team might have, and you might want.
I Hope This Was Helpful enjoy ^_^

something i don't get
I updated the firmware with RSD Lite, and used the one click tool, because:
whenever i try to hit update.zip i will get an errormessage, stating that these blocks couldn't be found -> ergo, the card not be mounted.
The HTC stuff i always managed, but this one is a mistery to me. Also, i did format fat32, pushed the stuff and then straight on bootup trying to hit the update.zip, without success.
I've read about how other people solved that problem, none of those approaches helped me.
Any hint is more than welcome.
2 bugs i've discovered so far: Battery drain like almost to be declared useless, some market apps "vanish" after installing them. I suppose those fixes would have done the job. I might attempt to use root explorer and execute the scripts like that, still I'd like to know why I'm unable to get the update.zip, resp. the G.O.T or any other "intelligent" boot menu installed.
Edit2: Even when installing the vulnerable sbf, i still get the error: E: Can't mount /dev/block/mmcblk0p1 ....

-Re download and re flash the files(do the whole thing again)
-there is an app i have called sd dual mount that makes my screen go crazy wen i connect the phone to an usb port, it was stable on 2.1 but now goes crazy on 2.2 check some of your apps to ensure they are not the ones responsible for this

i can confirm this. Simply trying it a second time worked for me
I'd like to add something for Linux users:
Using a virtual machine (virtualizing WinXP) that has USB support (eg Oracle VM VirtuaBox, since VirtualBox OSE does not support USB forwarding) can do this pretty easy. So no worries when trying this via a VM.
i try to instal GOT and its succesfull.
but why i install the application not bring to SD card
but still bring to internal memory
many said 2.2 automatic have app2sd
can you help me?

After so many nights without sleep, i found solution for rooting new LG P500 official rom update.
DO THIS ON YOUR OWN RISK, I WILL HAVE NO LIABILITY IF YOU BRICK YOUR PHONE !!!
Read instructions carefully
First of all, download archive from here and extract it to your desktop
And download driver pack from here
1. Back up all data with ASTRO file manager, you can find it on market.
2. Hard reset your phone either with system->privacy->erase all data or turning your phone off, and holding HOME,VOLUME DOWN and POWER BUTTON.
3. After phone boots up, you have clean file system, then go to Applications, and turn on USB Debugging mode
NOW THE FUNNY PART
1. Connect your phone with usb cables, make sure you have installed all the drivers needed, and connect phone in DEBUGGING Mode (provided a bit upper on this post)
2. In the extracted folder called root on your desktop, go to ADB folder and start cmd7.exe if u run win7 or cmdXP.exe (run as administrator in both options) if ur pc runs win XP. (your address bar should like something like this: C:\Documents and Settings\YOUR NAME HERE\Desktop\root\ADB
3. After starting cmd7 or cmdXP, type following commands
Code:
adb devices
then
Code:
adb shell
(symbol will change to $ or #) and copy paste following command into your terminal
Code:
echo 1 > /data/local/lge_adb.conf
4. After doing this, REBOOT YOUR PHONE
5. After reboot, go to root folder on desktop again, and start SuperOneClick.exe
6. Select GingerBreak method and press root button
7. After few seconds VOILA !!! You have rooted Optimus One.
8. REBOOT PHONE and update superuser app from market (mine was updated automatically)
To unroot device, follow steps from 1 to 6 in FUNNY PART and select unroot instead gingerbreak. and you will have unrooted device
I tried to root all kinds with android SDK and many others, and always had problems with force close. Running on this method for 3 days, and have no errors.
This is my tutorial, if u consider it helpfull, think about donating for cofee or beer.
Comments, Questions... post it below, i will read them and answer ASAP
EDIT : If you want to have beautiful CRT OFF Animation on your phone read tut here be sure to backup phonebook mine was deleted, but now i have crt off animation, which i looooove and think that is the second best thing to do after rooting

Try EXACTLY as written, because if you don't do like it is mentioned above, root will be wrong, and u will have app.crash on superuser. If Everything is done by my tut, your superuser app will be updated and phone rooted.

Hi, today i rooted my Optimus One with 2.3.3 but i have one problem - Android Market don't work (Server error, try again later (...) - something like this).
How can i fix it ?
I think that i solved it.

Worked like a charm. Thank you

Hey can anyone help me root my android 2.3.4? I have a att fusion that I'm trying to root and I don't know if there is a way to. Just thought I'd come here and get a straight answer.
Sent from my XDA App
me too
hope someone has a way. I've been trying for three days to root this phone and nothing works so far. Not sure if [email protected] has done anything or not to prevent rooting.
Step 1. http://androidforums.com/huawei-son...nmod-7-2-zad-rom-v-1-5huawei-u8650-sonic.html
Download and unzip the "Drivers Huawei (adb drivers)" to your desktop and install the drivers. Also download and unzip the "Custom CM Recovery" to your desktop as you will need it later.
Step 2. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1321582
Create a folder named DooMLoRD-v4 on your desktop and Download DooMLoRD_v4_ROOT-zergRush-busybox-su.zip and unzip it to that folder.
Put your phone into USB debugging mode and run the "runme" batch file in the DooMLoRD-v4 folder on your desktop. When done your phone should be rooted.
Step 3. Open the Custom CM Recovery folder and run the "Instalador" batch file
you now should have a rooted AT&T Fusion with ClockworkMod Recovery installed on it.
Step 4. http://androidforums.com/huawei-son...nmod-7-2-zad-rom-v-1-5huawei-u8650-sonic.html
Scroll down and you will find two custom roms that you can download and install on your phone with CM Recovery. Before you install open up the "system" folder and open the build.prop file in notepad once opened go to edit and in the drop down you should see a replace option. Replace "u8650" with "u8652" so that in your info your phone will have the right model number and save it.
Thanks!

Got all the files still cannot ROOT this damn thing, Tried Using Z4root wont work, Tried Using SuperOneClick, it Hangs on the #7 Process waiting for the Phone then I tried Using DoomLord V4 and it gets pretty far but shows that the Internal program memory is non-rewritable so im starting to guess "NO ROOT" is this possible?
Try and download the newest version of superuser and make a root file on the sd card. After that superuser is downloaded, put the file into the root file and wait for it to transfer, then when thats finished power off the phone and put it into recovery mode and apply update from SD card and choose zip file. Choose the superuser update and let it go through the process. Once its finished reboot device and you have root. Now all you have to do is flash a custom recovery on it and load a rom.
Let me know how it works!

Has anyone tried this root process with the fusion 2? If it doesn't work is there another way to root the fusion 2? Thanks.
had same problem...this will fix it
First thing that you want to do is root your phone. I have done this twice with this method and it has worked great both times.
1) ROOTING YOUR FUSION:
This is the method that worked for me. It was already stated in another thread on this forum:
QUOTE from : charliedrums....
"Here is what I did: (this tutorial was done by sd_james over at xda developers)
1. You need to install the latest Android SDK (search google for latest version)
2. download SuperOneClick v2.3.3
3. Follow the instructions and make sure that you have set your Settings > Development > USB Debugging box checked. I also set Unknown sources checkbox on.
4. Type in the following code on the phone keypad
*#*# 2846579 #*#*
This will open up the Service Mode
Go to Project Menu > Background Settings > Log Settings
Turn on Log Switch and set Log Level Settings to Verbose
go back one screen
Go to Dump and Log and place a check in all log settings.
Reboot the phone
After reboot use superoneclick2.3.3
In superoneclick on the general tab click the root button and wait for it.
This is what worked for me.""
2) After your root, you want to install the Clockwork mod for this phone. (To do the back up for your rom and also install this will enable you to install custom Roms for this phone.)

Can someone share with me the files that you use to root your Atrix on ICS? I know Jim had them up at some point in time but he took down all the files because some people were bootlooping.
Posting her to show that I, too, would like those files.

Plug in the usb cable to your phone. Use a back port on your com. Then set check "unkown sources" under system settings > Security & Screen lock. Then set USB debugging on. You can find that under system settings > Developer options. Once you've done that, Unzip and run the appropriate file for your system. IE: windows or mac.
REMEMBER! WE HAVE NO WAY TO GO BACK TO GINGERBREAD AT THE MOMENT!!!!!!!!!!!!!! AND TRYING TO HAS CAUSED BRICKED PHONES!!!!!!!!!!!!
ALSO, during the rooting process, your phone will reboot several times, so don't be alarmed ..

Hey can u elaborate a little more, because i run it and noting. Mac user.
No Superuser permission even after rooting ...
Hi, I have two ATT Atrix 2 MB865 phones. Both are on OTA ICS. I tried to root them using A2_ICS_root and the process went fine but when I try check if phone rooted properly, I am getting <Application name> has been denied Superuser permission. I can see Superuser app in app drawer but I think both the phones couldn't root properly. I did enable USB debugging and Unknown sources. I tried to set USB mode to Charge Only but couldn't find it anymore.
Now how can I correct it or remove files which root process put in my phone? Please help!

You need to go into the superuser app, and in settings there is a way to tell it to auto accept su requests, enable that, then go right back and set it back to always ask, then go and update the binary for su in the other tab in the superuser app. you just click on the su binary and update it from there.
After you do that, you should be ok, I think.

stevenfreestyler : Sorry. I have a little confusion here. Please help out. "Once you've done that, Unzip and run the appropriate file for your system. IE: windows or mac" - Is the execution of the root app need to be done on the PC while the usb cable is connected to the phone or once the files are unzip, transfer it to the phone, disconnect the usb cable from the phone and execute the root file from within the phone? Done both ways but couple of restarts you've mentioned didn't take place so i guess I've done something wrong some where. Please do advise. thank you

Optimus G root: permission denied on reboot
This phone currently is a big seller and I am expecting somebody will give a solution. The source is also available at LG open source center.
Please help.

Other than the screen size and HSPA band, the rest of spec are pretty the same, so it's possible P760 method is applied on P769.
Unfortunately, the method I searched online is simply a fraud (I looked up the web code).
Just picked up 2 of these phones. My wife loves hers. I am hoping to begin liking mine. Rooting would help.
also waiting for some development for this phone, i have done themes before and know the basics of android but would still need help from a real dev.

Root procedure
Hi guys, I'm italian and I am one of the guys that rooted the phone with that procedure.
I'll try to help you out.
1) Download and install USB drivers and LG Suite
2) Make a full backup of your phone data with LG suite
3) Download bin4ry's script...you will find the link on the italian post you quoted
4) Plug the phone in, and make sure is set to "LG software mode" and it's in debug mode
5) Run the script, and make sure you DON'T run it as administrator, but run it as normal user, or it won't work (at least on Windows 8 64)
6) Select first "2" (Device type: Special), then 1 (root)
7) At some point, the phone will ask you to proceed with a recovery. Do it.
8) Follow the script's procedure until the end. Install super user app. Phone will reboot a few times...don't worry, it's normal You will also be asked to type something like "/data/etc"..do it!
9) Root should be effective by now. To check this out, try "Got root?" application
10) Restore your data with the backup you made at step 2.
Enjoy!
Let me know!

What's the problem? What happened?
I can't even get PC Suite to detect my phone. The drivers are installed and seem to be working. Device manager shows everything OK. I select "LG Software" from the USB connection type menu on my device. The PC Suite software says "The device inforation failed to load" after attempting to connect.

Many applications were gone and I even can't use "restore" (2-2).
--------------------------------------------------------
(update)
Good News!!!
My P769 is rooted! The key is "Lookout Security". Disable it and you're ready.
Here is the steps:
Make sure LG driver installed (the simplest way: install LG suite)
You MUST disable Lookout Security (menu-settings-applications). Choose disable
Make sure USB debugging enabled, and choose USB charge only.
Run Root and Restore->RunMe.bat->choose 1. Check the phone screen if you're asked to restore, choose it when you're prompted.
The phone will reboot. You have to look at the status of the terminal. If there's NO permission denied error, look at the phone. If it shows "Android is updating", the phone should be rooted.
Don't forget to grab SuperSU and BusyBox (and install the latter).

Heck yes!! I will try this with my other PC. I think this one is having driver conflicts because of all the devices I have rooted on it.
Do we need to do the backup and restore steps? Or is all data still intact?

It doesn't really matter because the phone is still new and I have not yet put in data until it rooted.
