I need some help installing amon_ra's recovery. In adb it states I don't have permission to push files. If I try to run a fastboot it states I don't have permission. How can I get the above mentioned recovery on this phone ?

You should ask this in the thread that already exists.
If you follow every step listed, that won't happen. Do not skip any steps.
Do not skip any steps
1. Boot the device in fastboot mode, hold down the back button while powering on.
2. Connect via USB.
3. "fastboot boot recovery-RAv1.1.1H.img"
It will reboot into the custom fastboot with a black background. Then you'll be set to do these commands:
adb shell mount -a
Ignore the the errors...
adb push recovery-RAv1.1.1H.img /system/recovery.img
adb push recovery-RAv1.1.1H.img /sdcard/recovery-RAv1.1.1H.img
adb shell flash_image recovery /sdcard/recovery-RAv1.1.1H.img
adb shell reboot

I would have tried all that except the adb drivers are not working with the magic on windows vista. Device manager only shows Android 1.0

they work fine, you just need to properly install them.

Device manager only shows Android 1.0 Which I installed from the most recent sdk. Adb only will show 'waiting for device' even when I try to boot the recovery before flashing.

Switch to Linux ... nah just kidding... you obviously have a driver "issue", it happens to many people using Micro$oft Vi$ta...
Perform the following steps (do not skip any steps) on Vista :
1. Make sure your phone is not connected via usb
2. Download USBdeview and run it as admin (it's very important to run it as admin otherwise you will be unable to uninstall!).
3. Uninstall all drivers that mention Android in the device name or description.
4. Make sure that USB debugging is enabled in your phone (Settings - Applications - Development - USB debugging).
5. Connect your phone via usb.
6. Vista will now look for drivers, point it to the sdk drivers and make sure it uses those.
7. Check with "adb devices" to see if your phone listed.

adb reboot download tutorial(Windows)

Okay this is four newbie that can't get there phone into download mode,or if your phone is stuck on the a&tt screen or whatever reason you need to go into download mode
1st thing you are going to need android-sdk if you do not have. You need to put all the files on your C: drive in a folder called android-sdk.There is the link to the sdk site.
http://developer.android.com/sdk/index.html
Step 1 go to setting then to Application I always select mass storage,but i guess ask on connection will work.Then in applications select Development,and them usb debugging.Then plug your phone into your computer
Step 2 open the start window in windows vista and 7 user type cmd into the search.XP you go to run and then type cmd.
Step 3 once inside cmd type cd\ enter.this will bring you to the c drive and should look like this.Now it should look like this.
C:/>
step 4 next type cd then (space) android-sdk\tools\ enter it should look like this.
C:\>cd android-sdk\tools\
Step 5 type adb (space) devices.Now it should look like this.
C:\android-sdk\tools>adb devices
* daemon not running. starting it now on port whatever *
* daemon started successfully *
whatever # your phone is device.
now if it doesn't say this you probably don't have the proper drivers install,but if your are rooted you should.I will include a zip folder anyways.
Step 6 adb (space) reboot (space) download enter.It should look like this.
C:\android-sdk\tools>adb reboot download
After hitting enter your phone will reboot into download mode.
Here is a link for the drivers.
http://www.sendspace.com/file/dbh299
Make sure that you have ADB in the tool folder if not here it is

Actually step 1 would be to enabled usb debugging in settings/applications/development section otherwise none of this will work.
Theres also the adb reboot recovery command.

Thank dude I always have my phone in debugging i'll edit now

From my experience if you flash a rom it will no longer have usb debugging enabled so if you get boot loop or something adb wont work. I know you don't specifybut I personally have not heard of a device being stuck unless the person was flashing.
This is my captivate. There are many like it buy this one is mine.

You might also consider adding the instructions for adding the tools folder to PATH for those that would use this frequently.

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.

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

Awaiting response desperately as i am eager to root now, thanks a lot.

can't ROOT phone - device not installed

I followed this guide from LG optimus 3d fourm
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 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.

MY ERROR
~~~~
when running superoneclick and hitting root.
the follow device does not have drivers installed:
android phone USB\VID_1004&PID_618E
Would you like to me forcefully install an Android ADB Interface driver for this device?
If I hit "no" it begins the root and the program freezes after step 2.
I haven't hit yes because I don't know if I this is a good thing.

Unplug your phone from your computer. Download a program called usbdeview. Open the program and it will allow you to see all of the drivers installed on your computer. Delete everything associated with your phone. Make sure USB Debugging is checked and plug your phone back into your computer. This will do a fresh install of all drivers and should also include the drivers for ADB. To check this, open up a CMD window in platform-tools in your SDK folder and type in "adb devices". A serial number for your phone should come up, and if it does, you are good to go.

Have you got lgs drivers installed on pc? I had same problem and had to reinstall driver.

[Q] Problems With CMB command prompt. HELPPP

Hi i'm having a problem trying to get my evo shift Perm Rooted. There's like 4 different guides that i've found on how To root an Evo or even more specifically the Shift. I've followed all these guides and still no luck.
I already have my phone Temp Rooted through VISIONary, my problem happens when I have to go to the CMB (Command Prompt)
8. Next, Open the command prompt (Start > Run > type "cmd") and paste the following...
Code:
cd C:\AndroidSDK\platform-tools
Hit enter, and type the following...
Code:
adb
If adb runs you're golden. Type this...
Code:
adb shell
Hit enter, you will see this...
Code:
$
Now type...
Code:
su
I make it to where I need to type in adb shell and what it says is adb server is out of date. killing... *daemon started successfully*
Then it shows the $ sign.
What i'm supposed to do now is type su
Then when I do it says su: permission denied
This is where i'm lost at. I followed everybody's instructions perfectly but cant move on till I get pass this... Can anyone help me please?
Thank you

What Android version are you on?
2.2 ?
2.3.3 ?
2.3.4 ?

Check the permissions under properties of adb.exe (right-click adb.exe and select properties) in your sdk/platform-tools folder. Make sure it is allowed to run as a program.

NO DO NOT UPGRADE!!! If your on 2.2 it's very easy. Just download and use THIS TOOL. It will do it all for you. Just connect the device via USB Cable, and choose charge only. Extract the Zip file that you downloaded onto your desktop, and run the program. Then click the ROOT Button. Make sure your Anti-Virus and Firewall are disabled before you start. Then just follow the Prompts. When it's all done go to the Play Store ( Android Market ) download Rom Manager Free. Open up Rom Manager follow the prompts to Flash CWM Recovery. That's it your Rooted with a Custom Recovery.

I downloaded what you said, I run the program and disable the firewall, I clicked on Root and it says "Error running ADB try again"
I know that means I probably did something wrong in an earlier step but still unaware where I messed up at.

You need adb working... In order for adb to work you need to have android debugging checked under Settings > Applications > Development on your phone. It's not enabled by default on Sense roms so you'll need to make sure it's enabled and turned on.

Ok I made it past the part I was stuck at. Rooted my phone, downloaded ROM manager, clicked on Flash ClockworkMod Recovery, and before it finishes it says " An error occurred while attempting to run privileged commands! "

All good about asking questions. When the message pops up asking for SuperUser Permission, you have to click yes. Otherwise it will not run.

I ended up factory restoring my phone and followed a youtube video for the same exact guide that you told me to use. I followed it step by step and now my phone works perfect. I appreciate all the help.
Instead of me creating a new post, can you recommend a good guide for me to flash my shift to boost mobile?
