I know. Metro. I'm sad too, but money is low right now. Anways, since I can't find a section for this phone I have a few questions: Can you root 2.2? Why won't this thing let me change my input method (keyboard)? I don't like Swype. And if root is not possible, is there a way to remove the Metro PCS bloatware? This would be a decent phone if it weren't for all the bloatware. In any case, thanks guise

Nope. It works for 2.2.2 and up ... that's like saying scary movie is scary... just cause the title says one thing doesn't mean it can do something else.

i used z4root on two of my friends optimus m from metro pcs, both running 2.2 and everything went fine. i did not use z4root's "temp root" option but rather the "perm root".
good luck

I just successfully rooted my girlfriends Metro LG Optimus M using gingerbreak. Hers came with and was still running 2.2.1. I checked before rooting it. GingerBreak 1.2 worked. z4Root only works on the phone if you have 2.2.
I used the newest gingerbreak found here
http://androidforums.com/optimus-m-all-things-root/336196-1-click-root-optimus-m-gingerbreak.html
and the recovery from here
http://androidforums.com/optimus-m-...nally-custom-recovery-2-2-1-stock-phones.html
I haven't messed with any of the custom roms yet. Mainly she just wants the Metro-Bloatware removed. I haven't gotten to do that yet (time) but I will be using this thread for that
http://androidforums.com/optimus-m-all-things-root/253523-list-apps-safe-remove.html
Good Luck and let us know how it goes.
I have 2.2.2
Gingerbreak and z4root do not work :c

i'm working on that now. says its rooting but dont do nothing. rebooted a couple times and still no go
It only works if you have downgraded your ROM to the DHD rom first.
Ok will see what transpires with this thing. Hopefully things move along like the captivate forums.

Im pretty sure the exploit used works with all froyo running phones, so I don't see why it wouldnt work for the optimus 3D, specially since LG has been extremely dev friendly lately, I doubt they patched it up
Confirmed!
It works!

Where can you get USB drivers for this phone?
Rooted! Hopefully we see some custom kernels for overclocking soon!
I know this isn't the lg mytouch thread, but there isn't one. I ordered 2 of these phones as a test order I couldn't cancel, but was pleasantly surprised at the solidness of the device. Very thin and light, and solid enough build quality. Screen is AMOLED sharp.
I need to use the hotspot therefore I need root. But it doesn't look like people even acknowledge the phone's existence.
any Ideas?
Which OS version is it running, to begin with?
If the bootloader isn't locked - you have a shot by using one of the temp-root methods and pushing Superuser.apk+su.
If the bootloader is preventing write access to /system partition - you'll need to wait until someone creates a method to unprotect the /system. And it might take a lot of time...
Runs 2.3.4
No way really to tell if it's unlocked bootloader. Superoneclick and gingerbreak didn't work

2.3.4 can only be temp-rooted by fr3vo.

I have too looked everywhere for a solution to rooting the "LG" Mytouch, i previously downgraded from an xperia play and droid x wich i now need to sell to two Lg Mytouch's, this is beging to be a huge drag. Any help would be appriciated.

If no bootloader lock, then it might be enough.

I am kinda new to this but would this work on totally different phone I mean yes the original HTC Glacier AKA MyTouch 4G and HTC Vision AKA G2 were kinda the same both made by HTC but these phones the LG MyTouch and LG MyTouch Q are totally different and besides the LG MyTouch do not have a 2.2.1 rom out there, also I do read this thread so I do thank you for the help earlier but I just want to clarify if it will work on ANY 2.3.4 rom thanks again
It can't be said for sure - since nobody tried it yet. But it works on other chipsets - fr3vo was originally made for Evo 3D and Sensation. So, since no harm can be done by trying it (the worst you can get is having to reboot the phone), why not to try?
Instructions for rooting the LG MyTouch and MyTouch Q can be found here:

LG mytouch 4g
I just got the phone a few days ago and I LOVE IT .. Fast with a nice screen and very sleek looking. So far i have been able to Root the phone perfectly with super user and its 100% rooted working fine even after reboot. I have free tether wifi as well . If any1 has the Lg mytouch 4g and needs help just hit me up , i will be trying the clockwork recovery as well and rom manager to see how that goes as well as making my own rom to play around with. As for 2.3.4 Gingerbread my phone has come stock with it so thats good for me.. Hit me up if u have any questions or need help with something!!!

Lol. You posted these same questions on Android Central. At least that was in the right forum.
Without a custom kernel there aren't a lot of options with setcpu to save battery. What are your available governors?
One thing you might do to save battery while the phone is asleep is make a sleep profile that locks the max somewhere between 300 and 400 mhz (if possible).

You should check the Atrix 4G forums, this is the Atrix 2 forum.
Having said that, you may need to install device-specific software from Motorola.
