I just completed the manual root method that jcase was kind enough to outline in the Dev forum (link HERE).
- I discovered a couple steps that I didn't see (or I may have missed) in the original thread, so I wanted to provide some tips that may save other users some time.
- For veteran rooters this will be very obvious, but I think beginners like myself may benefit. Thanks again to the awesome XDA community for an awesome forum to learn.
- Setup: ADB commands run from a Windows XP Professional computer, on a Thunderbolt with stock firmware.
If there are other adb newbs like myself that have difficulty with getting this process started, here is what worked for me.
Connection Type:
- ADB: I had to put device in "charge only" mode when using adb
- File Transfer: I had to put phone in disk drive mode to copy upgrade and downgrade RUU files (PG05IMG.zip) to SD card
USB De-Bugging:
- I knew USB debugging had to be enabled at the start of this process, but I did not realize that I would need to re-enable it after each ROM flash (i.e. step 4 and step 7...after downgrade PG05IMG.zip and after upgrade PG05IMG.zip).
- Before re-enabling USB debugging, abd would give error "error: device offline" message.
- Location of setting for USB debugging: settings / applications / development / USB debugging)
ROM Manager & Flash ClockworkMod Recovery:
- Flash ClockworkMod Recovery this would hang until I rebooted, then clicked "Fix Permissions" within ROM Manager.
- Clicking fix permissions prompted Superuser to ask me if I wanted to give Rom Manager Superuser privilages. Once I clicked yes, the "Flash ClockworkMod Recovery" step worked right away.
Good luck on this. The process is actually not too bad.

Thanks for sharing.
I was curious about the charging mode/disk mode situation when attempting this.

I give up. Click on the recovery howto in my signature and flash custom recovery. After that, flash a rooted ROM. If you dislike this advice, then kindly search harder. People generally get irritated when then are answering the same questions 10 times a day because people are too lazy.
superoneclick (gingerbreak exploit) work for me on stock V20c, check this thread:

Hi guys, regarding the problem about rooting the original GB, it can be done, and it's not that complicated.
First of all there are a couple of things that you have to consider before starting to root.
1. Be sure that you have installed the original V20G GB ROM.
2. if you have it installed and tried different methods to root on it do a factory reset before trying this one.
3. Be absolutely sure that you have all the drives installed when working with the phone in USB debugging mode, if not install them.
4. Download SuperOneClickv1.9.5-ShortFuse, after download extract the files into a folder with the same name as the archive.
5. After you extracted the files, go to C:\Windows\System32 and copy the cmd.exe to the folder where you extracted the files, in my case C:\Users\myuser\Desktop\SuperOneClickv1.9.5-ShortFuse\ADB.
6. Connect the phone to the PC with Debugging mode (Enter the phone settings menu, to the Development and tick the USB debugging mode)
7. right click on cmd.exe from the ADB folder, Run as administrator, than write:
adb devices (after this command you should see your device id)
adb shell
echo 1 > /data/local/lge_adb.conf,
Do not close the window, live it like that.
8. Start SuperOneClick.exe, leave the settings to the SuperOneClick as they are when it opens, click on ROOT and wait, it will say Starting ADB server..., than it will do it's job and than it will appear Waiting for device... it will say ok and that if it freezes while running psneuter do the following:
a. Turn USB Debugging OFF wait until it will appear in the window again Starting ADB server..., after that,
b. Turn USB Debugging ON, and after this trick it will start rooting.
This is the method that i did twice and it worked like a charm.
After this it will ask you to reboot the phone, DO NOT FORGET, and after the reboot click on the SuperUser icon in the phone's menu. it will aks you if you allow or deny it's access. click allow. After this you must connect to the internet via Wireless or a apn, click on the superuser icon again if you exit it, go to settings, scroll down and you will see Su Binary v.XXXX, click on that to update it, than go to market and search the super user app and update it. Also update busybox. After this you have root access and you can install a custom recovery. Also you can install your preferred Kernel if you don't like the stock one.
If you do not get the Allow Deny message the root was not completed successfully. do a factory reset and try again the same steps.
see images attached as proof.
Well, I installed V20 C via doktornotor method but couldn root it by flashing the signed su binary via recovery.
So I tried the above mentioned method and it worked. But every time the Superuser Force closes and its too buggy.. Any solutions. ?
Yes, same here, i tried doktornotor's method both 20C and 20G and didnt work, this Super1click works but su force closes everytime Any ideeas??
====================EDIT============================
I managed to root gingerbread with doktornotor's method V20g
Just use his image, BUT dont use su-2.3.6.3-cd-signed.zip
Download from here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1110733 su-2.3.6.2-efgh-signed.zip and install it wia clockworkmod recovery zip installer and works like a charm

Should I type the comma at the end on cmd? Can you please explain what exactly the above command does? Does it create the above file on the above filepath on device? If I typed both
echo 1 > /data/local/lge_adb.conf
and
echo 1 > /data/local/lge_adb.conf,
should I erase one of these files?
Without comma.

Hi,
Actually I want root my LG Optimus One .I have INDIA phone with official V20c Rom. Can anybody help me how to root my phone without any risk of bricking it. I have also read many thread about rooting 2.3.3 through super one click {like this one h**p://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1200167} but people were saying something about force close errors... So can anybody provide me a successful and error free method of rooting it. and Please also share me the method to unroot it.
Thanks in advance.
I've read in a topic that I can't find, that after rooting usb debugging should always be on and disabling it could cause problems. I can't remember what kind of problems. Is that true? Should I keep it enabled?
Ok im pretty sure my phone is rooted coz it said in the superuser log root-allowed so yes thnx for helping me root my phone, now install custom recovery bla blah and then rom install
Which Drivers? From where?
[QUOTE=
3. Be absolutely sure that you have all the drives installed when working with the phone in USB debugging mode, if not install them.
Thanks for the post. But i want to know which drivers? People like me do not know about this so please help. I can connect my phone via usb as i downloaded lg support tool and it installed the driver or drivers. Is that enough?
Awaiting response desperately as i am eager to root now, thanks a lot.
revolutionary did not detect my phone any video or other method to get root? help me out please
Make sure you're phone is on usb debugging mode:
settings > applications > development, make sure usb debugging is checked.
Also make sure you have this driver installed if you're using a pc.
do i put it in charge or USB
or sync
no luck with it
on your phone, press the menu button, then go to settings, then go to applications, then go to development, then check the usb debugging box.
after that you can use the alpharev tool as instructed.
ok unchecked it then re checked it and worked
Glad I could help
ATTENTION: PUBLIC SERVICE ANNOUNCEMENT
It has come to my attention that under certain circumstances when the Kindle HD's get stuck in a bootloader bootloop the information on the "boot0" block of the internal storage can be ERASED and RESET.
This partition is special and contains ALL of your device's hardware specific information:
- Wifi MAC address + Encoded Secret for registering w/ Amazon services
- BT MAC address
- Serial #
etc
FOR BACKING UP THIS PARTITION:
Code:
adb shell su -c "dd if=/dev/block/mmcblk0boot0 of=/sdcard/boot0block.img"
adb pull /sdcard/boot0block.img
Place the "boot0block.img" file with the other files that you backed up in the original instructions for safe keeping.
FOR RESTORING THIS PARTITION:
(do not do this unless you are absolutely SURE that your boot0 block got wiped out -- hopefully you never need to)
This is done via adb from your PC while the device is in TWRP recovery or in the Android OS (not fastboot):
Code:
cd <your safekeeping files>
adb push boot0block /sdcard/boot0block.img
adb shell "echo 0 > /sys/block/mmcblk0boot0/force_ro; dd if=/sdcard/boot0block.img of=/dev/block/mmcblk0boot0;"
THIS FILE IS UNIQUE TO YOUR DEVICE AND CANNOT BE REPLACED OR REBUILT FROM ANOTHER DEVICE. DO NOT SHARE IT WITH ANYONE AS IT CONTAINS INFORMATION ABOUT YOUR DEVICE USED BY AMAZON DURING REGISTRATION.
very interesting Hashcode,thanks for the information :good:
Odd, I can't seem to find the file after I pulled it with ADB.
EDIT: I didn't even assign the command an output location to begin with. LOL.
Thanks for the info.
How can I access KFHD via ADB if CM10.1 installed.
I can't see my device in device manager only as a media storage or sth like that.
Should I remove KFHD adb driver and install the google driver?
Or just using the hidden trick in cm10.1?
"Enable Developer options in your phone (Settings > About phone and tap Build Number until you are a developer (about 7 times)
Set root access for APPS and ADB in: Settings > Developer Options > Root Access
Enable Android debugging at the same page (Developer Options). Enable ADB over network if you need.
Check if your Settings > Security > Unknown Sources is checked. you will need it to install over ADB."
Yeah...it helped

Just turn on ADB debugging on the tablet, and plug it into the computer. On the computer, open command prompt, use the command "adb devices" to see if your ADB is working.
Other than that, I don't know what happened in your post.
Ok i really can't figure this one out, I used adb many times while testing KFFAide tool so I am 100% sure my adb drivers are installed correctly, But since i switched to cm10.1 (Thanks hashcode) ADB cannot recognize my device anymore, I have enabled ADB on my KFHD and when i connect it to my pc a small notification appears "Android debugging enabled" but when i use "adb devices" command nothing shows up!
Can anyone help me with this i'm completely lost here!

Leave the device plugged in, go to Developer Setting and uncheck ADB debugging, then check it again. You should see a prompt, select OK for both.

Why don't you guys try this, go into CMD while connected with the device (ADB debugging on), and type "adb devices" to start the daemon, then try the commands. Other than that, I don't know what else to do.

Nope. Just get "List of Devices Attached" but no serial number. Checked device manager and it's showing up as a portable device. Probably will reinstall them and see if that solves it.
On a side note:
if we ran these commands in terminal emulator on the device, would that be sufficient?

But we need to know what's going on, i will need adb sometime soon when prokennexusa releases the next version of KFFAide

Normally you would notice WiFi doesn't work under any circumstances same for BT. And when on Amazon's software it won't let you register.

I can't get ADB to find it either, think i'll revert back to stock to get the file then go back to CM - I notice though on CM turning USB Debugging on doesn't change anything in device manager, it still stays connected as a media device or camera, depending on which you have ticked in storage setting *shrugs*
Thank you Hashcode

No don't, just type the command hashcode provided in terminal emulator and you'll find the backup in your sdcard, just copy it to your pc like normal!
You can do it from the terminal without typing ADB. that may be why people are confused. Start with hashcodes command but start with "su -c" in the terminal.

Hi,
I have Minix Neo X5 mini with android version 4.2.2.
There is pre rooted custom rom around internet for now. I tried to root it by myself and saw that it already has root access. But it is not proper. So when i check with root checker so on, it says it is not rooted.
So professionals;
What is missing on my device? I already installed supersu with adb. And tried to install busybox from store but bussybox did not worked at all.
I believe that i don't know some easy details for you. But not easy for me
it's ok
i finally root my device. If someone need the needen files attached. Please follow instructions on bat file.
Select "Connect PC" after all reboots on device.
Device has to be connected as mass storage. USB Development has to be selected. And connect pc via usb. Select "Connect USB" on the device. Run TPSparkyRoot.bat file. Follow instructions.

Did you had Moborobo app installed in your PC? After every reboot i had to go to Settings > USB > Connect to PC.
PS: I dont know how is supposed to work that bat file, since it try to change SuperSU permissions without first copying it. So i add it (bold):
echo --- Installing SuperSU
adb push SuperSU.apk /system/app/SuperSU.apk
adb shell chown root.root /system/app/SuperSU.apk
I hope it work for you.

The bat solution worked on my minix, but i had to install moborobo first, and then everytime the minix was rebooting because of the script steps, going to the minix menu and activating the connect pc option again before clicking space bar for the next step.
