To Root the LG Optimus 3D any firmware you will need
SuperOneClick , winRaR to extract the file , also you may need google ADB drivers if your on windows xp
Step 1: Download SuperOneClick here http://www.megaupload.com/?d=IKMS0QN3 then extract it.
Step 2: On the phone goto settings > Applications > Development > Turn USB Debugging on also turn on unknown sources.
Step 3: connect the phone to your pc make sure mass storage is turned off once connected wait for the drivers to install
Step 4: Run SuperOneClick as admin right click superoneclick run as administrator and click on Root, sometimes it can take a few minutes once it's done restart the phone now you should have superuser app on the phone.
To play Tegra Games you need to Root your phone first
Download this https://market.android.com/details?id=eu.chainfire.cf3d&feature=search_result
once you have installed chainfire goto chainfire it will ask for root permission press allow
Then install CF3D Driver phone will restart once done
now download this http://www.megaupload.com/?d=G2AXTW04
this is the nvidia plug in put it in your sd card anywhere
now open up chainfire then install plugins then select nvidia zip
next gotodefault openGL settings > use plugin select nvidia
go back and select fix market settings
Your done you should be able to play tegra games now
I'm not responsable of any damage to your device
Might be a good place to share what Tegra games are confirmed working.
I've tried Pinball and Bang Bang Racing. Pinball as smooth as a greased eel. With Bang Bang I got an error message telling me my phone didn't meet the minimum requirements. I know there are a few tweaks you can do with Chainfire so I'm wondering if there is a specific setting that might get this running?
Share the love folks.
I tested Samurai II, Pinball, Galaxy On Fire and Guerilla Bob, they all work fine after a very short freeze at the startup. After the startup, they all do great.
THX!! all games works fine for me too.
some tegra games are very slow
on my device some game is very slow, like galaxy on fire and others. for example samurai ii run very nice but there are any other games very very slow. i don't have installed performance pack yet. can depend from this?
have you any suggestion please help me

Go to LG website for your regional. Downloading the LG Update tool. Installing it and run, you will find the USB driver button. Downloading the driver and plugin your O3D for complete driver installation. Then try super1click v1.9.5 again. All would be fine.
Hope this help.

Argh! I'm thwarted before even reaching step #1!
Seriously though, thanks for the nice write up: I'm sure it will help lots of noobs like me, and help keep this board clear of clutter (1,000 "how do i root" threads)
And equally seriously, I'm thwarted!... for tonight anyway. I don't have access to a windows computer, just my Mac. I'll be able to borrow one tomorrow but I just bought a thrill this evening and I'm hoping to start setting it up tonight, but I need root!
Do you or anyone else on this thread know if the windows software can be substitutd for anything else, or know of any alternate method to obtain root? Is it plausible that perhaps gingerbreak (I know the optimus 3D/thrill is running froyo, but the gingerbreak author said that it's plausible that other versions may work too), and maybe some terminal emulator voodoo could do the trick, like I've seen on other devices?
Thanks! Sorry if this should just be a thread of its own in the general section or something, I don't mean to derail.
EDIT: AN EASY WAY TO ROOT ON MAC/LINUX:
1. On this thread, download the zip at the bottom of the post and download the .zip file. Thanks to jnichols959
2. Follow his (jnichols959) directions:
1.enable USB debugging on your phone (Settings -> Applications -> Development)
2.connect your phone via USB. no drivers or android sdk needed.
3.double-click root.command (Mac) or run it as you would any shell script (Linux)
4.wait for the script to finish and your phone to reboot

He said you don't need ADB, so that's probably true for Thrill 4g / optimus 3d too, but I DO have ADB on my computer and it just worked for me, so if you don't have it and it doesn't work, maybe download the android sdk... don't see why it would hurt, at least.
OP: Hey sorry again dude, I should have just made a separate thread. Feel free to include any of this info in your first post, if you want.
i'm on my second 3d, i bricked the frst one, and this process worked the first time but now chainfire3d cant find the plugin on my sd card. I've tried the internal sd card, external and put copies of it in every folder but for some reason it wont find it. Any ideas?
Can I use your links in LG thrill thread bud? Thanks me know!

even though ive followed all instructions and executed them, i cannot see the tegra apps in market.
ive also downloaded the tegra market app (or however it is called) and when i select an app to download, the android market is opened, the corresponding app is shown, but it displays a message that says that this app is not supported by my phone.
anyone who has the same problem?
ps: im from germany, could it be possible that tegra apps are only availably in usa?
I have a Verizon Galaxy S3 and I am trying to use Adams linux tool to unlock it. I just installed Ubuntu 12.04 on my laptop and got ADB to recognize my phone. I downloaded the tool extracted it, opened it nothing ran so I found the file Root GS3 with DebugFSRoot in Scripts I opened that and then clicked on adb.exe and got this error.
Archive: /home/eric/.cache/.fr-97pmjP/adb.exe
Zip file size: 191488 bytes, number of entries: 33758
[/home/eric/.cache/.fr-97pmjP/adb.exe]:
Zipfile is disk 58485 of a multi-disk archive, and this is not the disk on
which the central zipfile directory begins (disk 30091).
I am completely lost on how to fix it. I am still learning Ubuntu and am familiarizing myself with the system. For some reason when excuting adb commanding I have to put ./ in front of every command or it will not recognize the command. I tried following a guide which would update a source file so I would not need ./ Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thank you.
No one used Adams tool? Or even offer a link to something to help me out?

Just download the app its in the play store it will unlock your boot loader. Its simple! If you are trying to root your phone also the you will have to use Adams tool if you chose. You will also need java JDK 6.XX. If you look in development you will see other ways to root also and a link to the app for boot loader

I used to use Ubuntu a great deal until I needed Word to write my dissertation. I tried to use Adam's tool in Ubuntu as well and eventually gave up and went back to Windows. For some reason, the tool always said I had a good connection to my phone event when I unplugged my phone from the cable. My computer obviously was not recognizing the phone properly. Since I have been back on Windows for a few years, I just decided to follow the idiots guides out there and just get it done.
Here are a few stupid errors I made:
1. I did not have java runtime environment installed. I simply went to the software store that comes with Ubuntu, searched for java, and installed it.
2. I did not make the .jar file executable. I just clicked on the file, went into properties, and chose the make it executable option.
This at least got the program to run rather than exploring the file .jar file for what it included in it.
As I am sure you know, the Ubuntu forums are a wealth of information. I could have searched there for answers, but I decided to take an easier path. Of course, Adam's program didn't work for me under windows either so I just used a different method. Good luck and I hope you get it working for you in Ubuntu.

I tried to post this in the "Beginners Guide for Rooting" but I do not have privileges. I am trying to root my new s3 on a mac so I am trying to follow the guidance in section one of the guide. However the links for samsung drivers are in an .exe format and the link to the java jdk files has expired. I downloaded the samsung drivers from the link and opened the (.exe) file and I attempted to install another version of the java jdk. When I connect Adam's casual the app recognizes my phone but I am unable to see it on my Mac through Finder. Am I ready to flash if the casual app can see my phone? Or do I need the osx compatible samsung drivers (not with a .exe filename) and a specific version of java jdk?
Thanks in advanced for any help. I tried to search for the answers but I have been coming up empty. Even though casual see's my phone, I'm still not sure if its ok to start flashing.

Did you download the samsung drivers in the link ( the .exe files) and install them on your mac? Also do you still have a copy of the java jdk files? The link in the "guide " is dead or the files have been moved. Thanks.
Mine did not show up in finder. I did have to download another program to interface with the phone. Just run Casuals and you will be fine.

There is no drivers for mac. The only thing that will show is a sdcard if you have one. You are good to use Casual.

Mine doesn't show the sdcard. I can use ADB but that's the only way I can communicate to my device over USB. I have't tried Casual.
Well I finally got home so I could use my Mac with my phone. Casuals worked great a couple of weeks ago as did adb. Now, I can't get either to work. I read that some are having issues with the usb ports on the newer MacBook Pros. I will do a little know testing and see if I can find a way to make it work post back. I tried rebooting, different cables, etc with no luck. If anyone knows anything, please chime in.

Okay, after a lot of digging, I finally figured out what I did. I take no credit for this, I found it on here in reply to a thread somewhere. I can't remember where as I usually view this site on my cell phone.
sudo kextunload -v /System/Library/Extensions/EasyTetherUSBEthernet.kext
from a terminal. I forget if you have to reboot or not.
This will disable tethering, but you can now see your device via adb.
To renable tethering once you're done debugging, use
sudo kextload -v /System/Library/Extensions/EasyTetherUSBEthernet.kext
This is for EasyTether only, but I am sure that there could be another type of app that would do the same thing? If you could isolate the app, it should be as easy as replacing the EasyTether part of the command and running that. Good luck, I personally know how aggravating that things like this can be.
Okay, I know there is a tutorial for this already, but I am making a new one for a new version of the software that is out.
This tutorial uses Windows XP as an example, you may replace Windows XP with other OS if you want!
***Required Software/Hardware***
SOFTWARE:
-Limbo Emulator (QEMU BASED) for Android(Play Store)
-qemu manager for PC (Windows/MAC/Linux)
-OS Installer CD/DVD(ISO is okay too)(E.G. Windows 2000-XP, Ubuntu, Etc.)
HARDWARE:
-High-end Phone(1GHZ Dual-core recommended although ANY phone WILL work.)
-PC
-USB Cable, etc
-At least 5GB free on SDcard OR Phone.
MISC:
-LOTS OF TIME!!!!
-Root (optional)
STEPS:
Step One:
Download all the required software. Install them to the respective device.
Step Two:
- Open up QEMU Manager and create a new VM, USE QEMU32bit for the processor, and Windows XP as the OS (Because the variables are predefind.)
-Select Make new drive and make a Hard Drive that is 3GB-5GB in size.
Make sure it is in qcow2 format!!
(Please note: after installation, the file size will only be 1.49GB)
-Mount the ISO/CD inside qemu manager in the VM settings and begin installation of the OS to the drive.
(This step will take at least 2HOURS! Let it do its thing.)
-After your first successful boot, Shut down the VM from within the VM (Windows XP VM: Start->shutdown->Shutdown)
Step Three:
-Connect the phone to the computer.
-Mount USB Storage.
-Find the Hard Drive file (Usually Installation/images folder!) and copy it to any directory of your SDcard (No spaces in the names and directories!!!)
- Install Limbo Emulator, and then Launch it!
- Select Load VM and hit New give it any name you would like it doesnt matter.
- then make sure the settings are as follows:
~CPU: qemu32
~RAM Memory Size: 256
~Hard Disk (HDA): /mnt/sdcard/{Location of your qcow2 file}
~Network Configuration: User
~Network Card: ne2k_pci
~VGA Configuration: cirrus
******Please note: if the option is not in the above list Leave it at it's default setting!!!!!!!! or this will not work (For Windows XP)
There you go, Go ahead and hit start!
Things to know:
One, it will take awhile to boot up on any phone (5-30 Minutes)
Two, Emulation is never perfect.
Optional Steps:
Getting more RAM for your BUCK
********NOTE: THIS STEP IS NO LONGER REQUIRED, THE APPLICATION HAS BEEN UPDATED TO ALLOW FOR 1GB OF RAM*******
ROOT ONLY
Go ahead and Exit and Kill the Limbo Task.
With root explorer go to /data/data/com.max2idea.limbo/databases/
and edit limbo.db with an SQlite editor of choice.
Find your VM in the Table and edit max memory size to 512 or more!
Remember how much ram your phone has then divied that by 2, and thats the maximum you SHOULD use, but edit this at your own risk!!!!!!
After this MOD, DO NOT EDIT ANY SETTINGS IN THE LIMBO APP AS IT WILL OVERWRITE THIS MOD.
Thats it enjoy!!

Very cool! Prepping this for my Nexus 7 now. Will post the results.
Going to try on my HTC One X, and post back here results Thanks

File missing
Hi guys,
just for fun i tried to get this to work on my overclocked evo 3D, unfortunately without success.
It says a file is missing or broken (<Windows Root>\system32\ntoskrnl.exe)
Can I fix this using my PC or do i have to install my XP again on another VM?
EDIT: I reinstalled my Windows XP and tried it again. When I noticed it still won't work, i tried to change the settings. After playing a bit with them i'm able now to boot into windows without problems. But i got stucked at the desktop, so i rebootet, now it don't works again..
Try a different windows install cd. Do not use the one you have been trying to use. I believe that is the reason it will not boot.

Sent from my SCH-R530U using xda premium
Well sandix, AIO Multithread has never been enabled, so I enabled this & tried it again.. This time it booted successfully and without any problems. The only bad thing is, how slow it runs. So I#m going to give it up to 512mb RAM, hopefully it makes it a bit faster
I understand, but the multithreaded AIO is what caused my vm to give the same error. Anyway try what you can. XP is slow but i have had pretty decent results from windows 98 and 2000.
Sent from my SCH-R530U using xda premium
Oh, another OS that will work decently is windows PE.
Try make a BartPE out of a windows XP CD. A.k.a WinPE. The ram requirements of WinPE are very low. (Like windows 98) so it should respond better.

kibaruk said:
ok for all slate 7 users, i found a real easy and secure way to root our device, no brick chance because it doesn't modify anything inside the tablet, you just push su.
Way easier than having to install software you don't even know what it does...
The hardest part of the whole thing is installing the adb drivers which is detailed below in step 6-7-8 in case it's all you need.
step 1: Download android sdk manager (there are lots of stripped versions that might work but for tutorials sake we'll use the whole thing).
step 2: Download cydia's impactor (cydia's impactor home page in case you are interested in reading a bit).
step 3: Install both software previously downloaded (the android sdk manager doesnt have an installer, it will unzip and work from that directory, it's probably better if you unzip it into an easy to access path but it's up to you, for tutorial we will use c:\asdk\ ).
step 4: Open android sdk manager, select from the list and install only* "android sdk platform-tools" and "google usb driver" (* only as in this are the only things we actualy need, if you need at some other point or are interested in tinkering you are free to do so).
Ok so here we start with the sort-of-hard part, making our computer connect with our slate 7 through adb, to do this you need to...
step 5: Open a command terminal (windows button + r to open a run window and type cmd to open a terminal).
step 6: Go to c:\users\username\.android\ and type within the terminal:
Code:
echo 0x03f0 >> adb_usb.ini
step 7: At this point you need to get back to an explorer window and get to c:\asdk\sdk\extras\google\usb_driver\ (or wherever you unzipped it), there you will find a file called "android_winusb.ini", open it and add at the end the following:
Code:
; hp
%singleadbinterface% = usb_install, usb\vid_03f0&pid_5e1d
%compositeadbinterface% = usb_install, usb\vid_03f0&pid_5d1d&mi_01
%compositeadbinterface% = usb_install, usb\vid_03f0&pid_601d&mi_01
step 8: Open windows device manager and you will see your tablet as "hp" with a yellow warning icon, right click it and check update software, then click look for software in the computer, then click on choose driver from a list.
Once you do this you will see an icon "use disk". Explore your way to c:\asdk\sdk\extras\google\usb_driver\ and choose "android_winusb.ini" file.
The first option you will see is android adb interface, so you pick next, it will warn you about installing drivers from unkwnown sources you keep saying yes until it's done.
step 9: Go back to your cmd terminal and get to c:\asdk\sdk\platform-tools\ , this is where adb.exe is and type in the following:
Code:
adb kill-server
Code:
adb start-server
Code:
adb devices
if everything worked as expected you will see a device listed, this is your slate 7.
step 10: Now open cydia's impactor tool, you will see a small window with a default command on screen which is the following:
Code:
# drop supersu su to /system/xbin/su
just click start next to it aaaaand you are done!
Just open an app like titanium backup which needs root to see if it worked.
This method is simple plus you don't have to download anything chinese or unnecesary software into your computer, the tutorial is really long because i tried to be as detailed as posible but in the end you shouldnt take more than 5 minutes (the downloads might take a bit longer though for the sdk), i would take screenshots of the process but my computer runs on a spanish version of windows (the same reason why you might see things with different names i was just trying to guess the device manager label part).
If you have any question feel free to ask and if it worked for you a thanks would be awesome so more users will try this.

The Slate 7 and the TP are completely different. I strongly suggest that instead of posting here, you request that XDA start a forum for your device. A quick Google search turns up http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1660354&page=855.
I know they are different but there is no Sub Forum for Slate 7.
So I posted it here hoping for someone to reply with Root files :/
Thanks for moving it.
Bump
Hey mate,
I have tried to root the HP Slate 7. I am not a developer. I am just an user who knows a thing or two.
Upon trying to sideload flash root files, adb stops and says it cannot be done on production firmware. Same goes via manual.
So the issue relies on the firmware. HP has locked the device down so we will either need to wait on HP to give us the unlock method or for a developer to crack it!
You can always try yourself but not sure if it will work. I think if we created a pre-root firmware we could flash that to gain root.
Root files are universal so just search and download!
Well I can't find root files.
And the problem I think is the CWM.

Tried this and no success. This is what I have been doing and no luck. adb commands work and it will push but the apps aren't there after completing step 2 and running unlock root. I have done a reboot and tried more than once.
I have done this method before so I don't know where I am going wrong lol.
To be honest, I think my Slate and laptop aren't communicating correctly. I cannot transfer non-media files. Have you got this issue?

Mate have you done something to your HP Slate that I haven't? Or you have a special one.
Adb works fine for me. Gaining root does not. Same error. Cannot do on a production build.
Any updates done before root? Mine was out the box and straight to the laptop for rooting. I downloaded the backup firmware from HP's site and not used it.
