Hello,
I have rooted many HTC phones but this is my first LG. I am having problems with superoneclick and also going through the command prompt and doing it that way. After downloaded all files and running through the commands when i type adb shell i am getting the "$" and then typing "su" permission denied. Then when trying to mount it using "mount -o remount,rw -t ext3 /dev/mmcblk0p12 /system" Im getting operation not permitted. Also getting the same error on superoneclick. Anyone have any suggestions?
Thanks
I am having the same issue. It seems that for now we are out of luck. Ever since the update that Verizon and LG pushed out in the middle of August, both the Superoneclick and ADB will not work. I just want to root the device to be able to use a bluetooth mouse!

ok, so before i reflashed my rooted hero with Modaco on it to stock sprint ROM, all adb commands were working fine, I could easily write a file to phone's system using adb push command.
NOW, after updating and rerooting it,
it won't give me a permission to do adb remount in order to do adb push.
It will still let me get into SU and write a file from there,
for example i'll have to adb push a file to /sdcard/ then get into SU and do cat /sdcard/myfile >/system/myfile and it works fine,
but NOT adb remount!!
Any ideas why this is happening? (thanks)
not sure , but its been confirmed that flash modaco first then then fresh rom and then push to system, btw that's what i did, and im using fresh rom .4 with MR. Working Great here...

I did it, it's a part of the rooting process, and that's wat let me write files within the shell or remove them, but when i exit out to do adb commands it seems like it remounts back to read only mode and doesnt permit to remount from adb remount
I'M HAVINg this same problem. No idea why.
I'm pretty sure this is because the /default.prop file has the permissions set to read only. I've been trying to figure out how to change this, but having no luck with this or other modifications that MoDaCo built into this ROM. started a thread over here:

There's other mods, such as setting up the superuser whitelist app. Hopefully someone with some experience helps us newbie's along.
I was never successful using SuperOneClick for the Optimus V. hangs at wating for device.
THOUGH...
I believe I did finally get it rooted using adb and push psneuter, busybox, su and Superuser.apk...via Ubuntu 10.10 Maverick...
I rebooted the device twice...downloaded terminal from the market and sure enough I can su to a # prompt...I take this to confirm I have successfully rooted my Optimus V.
Now to the question....
I found several post most of which included this command in adb shell:
mount -o remount,rw -t yaffs2 /dev/block/mtdblock5 /system
However I was successful based on a post found here by (Endur):
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=12076877
with the command
mount -o rw,remount /dev/block/stl9 /system
What is the difference? Have I done something horribly wrong?
And Thank you for all your work here...This is a lot of fun prying into the technologies of today and tomorrow.
Any answer or pointing me in the direction to research on my own would be much appreciated.

Hey guys, this is my first post, and I just wanted to say first off that all of you who have figured out how to root phones are awesome! Because of xda-developers and androidforums, I helped a friend root and put cyanogenmod 6 on his HTC Hero (cdma).
Anyway, I'm trying to put Zefie's CM7 on my LG Optimus V, and I'm stuck. First off I'm trying to root my phone. I'm following this guide: [How-To] Root the LG Optimus V on Android Central (I'd post the link, but the system won't let me since I'm a new user.). Usually I'd follow the instructions step by step, but I had to make some changes. I see this guide is written for Windows, but I'm running Ubuntu 10.10. After doing a lot of searching I was able to figure out that I had to install the Linux version of the Android SDK and use mono to run SuperOneClick.exe. That part was easy since I have a good knowledge of Linux and how it runs. The part that I'm stuck at is performing a Shell Root. When I click on Shell Root, SuperOneClick is stuck at "Waiting for device..." It's been like this for a while. If I click on Root, it gets stuck at "chmod psneuter..." Either way it's stuck and I don't know what to do.
Just to let you guys know, I have USB Debugging turned on, and I'm running Android version 2.2.1.
When I rooted my friend's HTC Hero, all I had to do was run a downloaded apk onto his SD card and run it, and then it would instantly root it. Is there a similar apk for the Optimus V? If not, is there a way I can manually root it via the terminal? Anyway, I'm stuck and would appreciate any suggestions or comments. Don't forget, I'm running Ubuntu 10.10, so some issues may arise since the tutorial was meant to be run on Windows machines.
Later tonight I'm going to try to root my phone at my friend's house since he has a computer running Windows XP. Hopefully I can get some better progress on his computer instead of mine. Thanks in advance for all your help!
Okay, nevermind. I did a little more searching and found a way to root my phone without running SuperOneClick.exe. I'll post if I have any more problems.
Well I spoke too soon. Here are the steps I followed to get to a # prompt in adb:
./adb push psneuter /data/local/tmp
./adb shell chmod 777 /data/local/tmp/psneuter
./adb shell /data/local/tmp/psneuter
I then did the following commands:
adb shell
mount -o remount,rw -t yaffs2 /system /system
exit
adb push su /system/bin
adb push busybox /system/bin
adb shell
cd /system/bin
chmod 4755 su
chmod 555 busybox
exit
adb reboot
After rebooting the phone, I installed Superuser and TitaniumBackup. I opened TitaniumBackup and it gave me an error stating that it could not acquire root privileges. I know for a fact that my phone has su and Busybox installed on it and have the correct permissions.
What bugs me even more is that when I run su via the adb shell root prompt or a terminal emulator on my phone, it returns the following error:
link_image[1997]: failed to link su
CANNOT LINK EXECUTABLE
What's up with that? I did find out that some people have had issues with Android 2.2.1 on their phone, and unfortunately that's what my phone had when I bought it about a month ago.
Okay, I figured it out finally and have my phone rooted. I had to run SuperOneClick.exe on my buddy's Windows computer. Instead of doing a Shell Root, I just clicked Root and it rooted. Now I'm stuck at figuring out how to do a Nandroid backup. I backed up everything using Titanium Backup, but I know I want to make a backup rom in case something goes wrong during the flash. What are the steps to performing a Nandroid backup?
Lol nevermind. I got Zefie's CM7 up and running this morning.
Nandroid is made using recovery. Glad you got it working

I am having the same problem as you, can you link me the other method?
EDIT: I do see the instructions in the next post, however where did you find them and get the files?
I've unlocked my phone via HTCDev, which to my understanding should give enough permissions and whatnot for adb to work on system files too.
I'm trying to push application to replace system application, I know the application works, I got both signed & unsigned versions of it but same thing with either one of them.
adb remount says "remount failed: operation not permitted" and adb push [file] /system/apps says "failed to copy '[file]' to '/system/apps/': read-only file system
--
What am I doing wrong, or do I really have to root the phone just to get one damn application replaced with modified one?

Have you rooted?

You need to have SU# access, which be definition needs root permissions. If you haven't already, use the all in one tool kit to flash clockwork and root that beech. Then when in ADB you enter SU and you will get a prompt like this #, indicating you have root privileges.
Update, I have rooted, stock rom still though
If I use adb shell, I get $, but writing "su" in shell gives me #
still, I've tried both the adb remount and in shell mount -o remount,rw -t yaffs2 /dev/block/mtdblock3 /system
the latter seems to work, but however still when I try to push something to /system/app it still says permission denied
edit:
not quite sure what I did, but i finally got SUCCESS from installing from shell
how did you install through the shell
I have this tablet from that greek label named turbo-x(model:strike ii)(not that there is any chance to know of) which there are no windows drivers for, anywhere.
Framaroot doesn't work for it,
windows root can't work for it without drivers
and for linux i tried cydia impactor since linux doesn't need the drivers, which pops up the error "mount: read only file system" when i try to root.
I'm not linux expert or expert of any kind so i messed around with the terminal as much as i could in order to make cydia impactor work, and used $sudo su $adb remount $adb root $adb shell #mount -o rw,remount /system but nothing works, i get the same read only file system on the terminal as well.
Any suggestions? Thanks in advance!
