SuperOneClick 2.3.2 Root Attempt LG Optimus Net
I am running Android 2.3.4 on a LG Optimus Net L45C Smart Phone used under the NET10 (owned by Tracfone) service.
Following the instructions from the SuperOneClick author regarding LG phones and 2.3.2 I get as far as the following statement in the right pane of SuperOneClick 2.3.2 :
Killing ADB and restarting as root ... enjoy!
When I look on the Smart Phone in the Android Tab, There is no SU icon that appears prior to rebooting the phone. After rebooting the phone there is no SU icon that appears. The process was repeated 3 times with the same result: The phone is not rooted. Anyone with similar experience?
The attached pdf file shows the output from the right and left panes of SuperOneClick 2.3.2 during the root attempts.
SuperOneClick setting used was for Alternate ADB Parser.

Did you try using unlockroot method?
Rooting
For the LG Optimus Net LG L45C, you will need to use Unlockroot from Unlockroot.com. It is currently the only way to root the phone. The Clockwork recovery method that is posted above is not for L45C, it is for P698 and P690, which can brick your phone trying to install it in a phone that may not support it.
Also, good luck with getting software updates for the phone, because Net10 WILL NOT let you upgrade the software on it. It will download the software package, but states that it is invalid and will not install it. If they would allow the phone to update itself, it wouldn't have many bugs that are showing up
Guys I tried the method mentioned above for adobe flash but the files that I place inside data/data/com.adobe.flashplayer/lib keep getting erased everytime I restart my phone. Note that flash works perfectly as long as I dont restart my phone.

Sorry but that's how it is. Try using cm7 it doesn't seem to disappear.
I'm getting failed to chmod file: rootutility
While doing what -rooting or custom recovery?
rooting. with unlockroot.exe. Superoneclick fails as well
You've asked this on androidforum as well so i'll try to help you there as akashash5 but I think andyopie will give you a solution eventually.
Using Qtadb P690F> PC
Just one addition, as I had problems in using Terminal Emulator on my small screen phone, I wished to use Qtadb which is able to be run from a PC under Windows. I had all sorts of problems getting Qtadb to 'see' my phone and the installed files.
This is what I had to do:
1. Download and install Qtadb and Windows binaries Google as can't post link
2. Download & install LG drivers
3. DL & install Busybox Google Play
The last item was my problem, I had seen this on one of the many threads I checked & had DL but had NOT installed. When installed all problems solved.
Hope this helps someone.

Hi long time phone community forum member but this my first post:
I spent multiple-hour long sessions looking for info on this stupid cute lil phone that my girls kid liked. and i was so shocked that first off i couldnt get this rooted with oneclick or a zergrush attack, then after rooting that there is little to no dev for this phone.
if you want to root it use unlockroot.com (i agree that this tool looks funny and like its going to be an advertisment or scam, but it worked)
for custom cwm recovery i used cmw v5.0.2.7 for the optimus q(lgl55c) this worked in the lgl45c that ive got i will not guarantee that it will in yours but if i was you id jsut go for it. I obtained it here:
androidarea51.com/***-all-things-root-***-12/custom-cwm-recovery-for-the-q/
---thanks to Mark_One (im guessing of that site) for the files adn info---
on that same page is the flash_image.zip file that you unzip to the root of your sd card and follow the instructions to flash the recovery into your phone. I used adb shell instead of terminal editor and used esfileexplorer.apk to move some files adn grant permissions where adbd wasnt cooperating
I put a pretty fun rom thats from the androidarea51 site into teh phone its some redrom adn is all devilish with red icons and widgets adn screams redrom redrom like redrum redrum on bootanimation this was also for the lgl55c so after i flashed it i did adn advance restore and only restored teh boot from my initial backup.
i am having a hell of a time getting this into a diagnostic mode?? lgs usually dont need to do anything just enable debugging. ive done this i get an lg androidnet modem adn two ports, they appear in qpst but are not listed with an active phone?? can anyone help me with this also spent hours looking for this, im wanting to flash it to cricket and need to change the prl.
hope this is helpful and reduces some peoples searchings for the optimus net lgl45c
Good work, just keep upgrading the list.:good:

I dont have the link, but you can find it at androidarea51 on the OptimusQ thread (lg l55c). It worked on mine. I just followed the directions exactly. Good luck, hope it helps.
Does anyone know where to find a link to a stock or rooted rom for this phone? Mine is rooted and has CWR 5.0.2.7, but is stuck in recovery bootloop. (loaned it to my daughters friend to play games on while i fixed his, he thought he could reset his game when he found settings, factory reset). If anyone could help i would appreciate it, or if anyone knows another way to get this to boot to phone i can go from there. thanks in advance, you guys on XDA are great.

What have you flashed the phone to get a boot loop?
And a warning, when you actually had a Cwm on your phone and you factory reset it, your phone will be bricked.

Hopefully we get an lg optimus v section. But here goes something for starters.
These different posts will contain everything you need for now (i hope who am I kidding) Any ways here is my latest deodexed rom.
Features:
Completly de-odexed
new bootanimation
no virgin mobile apps
custom bootimage
new keylayout ( camera button opens the camera not focus, side voice control is power button, changed all the buttons to stop unlocking the screen except for the menu button)
Stagefright enabled
I'm preparing some final things but I wanted to get this going.

How to remove apps using adb
To me the best and free way to remove apps from your phone is via adb. Hopefully you have some familiarity with adb if not you should be good after reading this.
First open a command prompt and type
Code:
adb remount
this will allow you to do what we need to do if you have errors then you need flash one of the roms I provided.
then type
Code:
adb shell
cd /system/app
ls
this opens adb shell commands then opens the system directory and shows you whats in it. If you are using the deodexed rom you will have nothing but .apk files in there. But if you use the stock rom then you will have .apk and .odex files in there.
look through there and figure out what apks you want to delete and then type
Code:
rm whatever.*
replace whatever with the app you want to remove
for instance
Code:
rm googlevoice.*
then type
Code:
cd ..
cd ..
cd /data/data
pm uninstall com.googlevoice
this part here changes your directory to data/data and then it completes the uninstall. You may have to guess what the name is in data/data but usually it isn't that hard. Also you can't pm uninstall apps from data/data unless they have been removed from /system/app so don't be worried about removing the wrong thing.
check your phone and you should be good to go
I'm going to get one this week. Thaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaanks!

not to bring up a dead threaad....but the optimus v really needs a home here at xda.
i just rooted my first. i tried to use a windows program called "romtools" found on the interwebz. this didnt work, though. so...after a little more searching...i found this out. maybe the opt can put this up in first post?
easiest way to root and install super user: run super one click root to obtain adb shell root. then...run z4root. neither of these two methods work on their own but if you do in that order...you will have root and super user installed. from there, you can flash a recovery using android terminal emulator...if your old school like that. i did.
after that you can flash the stock virgin with Xionia kernel and bloatware removed. get setcpu..overclock it. whatever. door is open.
hope this helps! trying to get some thank you points on the board.
back again to try to keep this thread a little bit up to date til SOME1 NOTICES THAT THIS PHONE EXISTS.
for those having the "Cell standby" battery bug....
whats that? go to setting>about phone > battery usage> if cell standby is at anywhere near 50% or over...you have this bug. antenna constantly scans even with a connection...
plugg phone into charger. toggle airplane mode. unplugg. this will clear your battery stats and will properly connect you. check your setting to see if your usage goes down.
there also seems to be a problem wil gallery. the app opens but displays nothing. no albums or anythinng. its like it cant read the sdcard. only thing i can say to do is install a 3rd party pic viewer and trash 3d gallery.
hope this helps you guys.
Awesome, thanks for this. I currently have CM7 on my Optimus V, but for some reason I can't use any adb commands with it. I can with this. Sorry if this is the wrong place to post it, but I'm still a new member. Anyone know a way to get adb working?
hey did you guys ever figure out diag mode for the Optimus V? its not like the the other Optimus devices and ive tried every key combo my little brain could come up with....im trying 2 connect it 2 QPST or CDMA..
After so many nights without sleep, i found solution for rooting new LG P500 official rom update.
DO THIS ON YOUR OWN RISK, I WILL HAVE NO LIABILITY IF YOU BRICK YOUR PHONE !!!
Read instructions carefully
First of all, download archive from here and extract it to your desktop
And download driver pack from here
1. Back up all data with ASTRO file manager, you can find it on market.
2. Hard reset your phone either with system->privacy->erase all data or turning your phone off, and holding HOME,VOLUME DOWN and POWER BUTTON.
3. After phone boots up, you have clean file system, then go to Applications, and turn on USB Debugging mode
NOW THE FUNNY PART
1. Connect your phone with usb cables, make sure you have installed all the drivers needed, and connect phone in DEBUGGING Mode (provided a bit upper on this post)
2. In the extracted folder called root on your desktop, go to ADB folder and start cmd7.exe if u run win7 or cmdXP.exe (run as administrator in both options) if ur pc runs win XP. (your address bar should like something like this: C:\Documents and Settings\YOUR NAME HERE\Desktop\root\ADB
3. After starting cmd7 or cmdXP, type following commands
Code:
adb devices
then
Code:
adb shell
(symbol will change to $ or #) and copy paste following command into your terminal
Code:
echo 1 > /data/local/lge_adb.conf
4. After doing this, REBOOT YOUR PHONE
5. After reboot, go to root folder on desktop again, and start SuperOneClick.exe
6. Select GingerBreak method and press root button
7. After few seconds VOILA !!! You have rooted Optimus One.
8. REBOOT PHONE and update superuser app from market (mine was updated automatically)
To unroot device, follow steps from 1 to 6 in FUNNY PART and select unroot instead gingerbreak. and you will have unrooted device
I tried to root all kinds with android SDK and many others, and always had problems with force close. Running on this method for 3 days, and have no errors.
This is my tutorial, if u consider it helpfull, think about donating for cofee or beer.
Comments, Questions... post it below, i will read them and answer ASAP
EDIT : If you want to have beautiful CRT OFF Animation on your phone read tut here be sure to backup phonebook mine was deleted, but now i have crt off animation, which i looooove and think that is the second best thing to do after rooting
VIDEO IS LOCATED HERE

Try EXACTLY as written, because if you don't do like it is mentioned above, root will be wrong, and u will have app.crash on superuser. If Everything is done by my tut, your superuser app will be updated and phone rooted.

Hi, today i rooted my Optimus One with 2.3.3 but i have one problem - Android Market don't work (Server error, try again later (...) - something like this).
How can i fix it ?
I think that i solved it.
I replaced SuperUser.apk with new one, downloaded from hxxp://androidsu.com/superuser/ and now everything seems to work correctly
Worked like a charm. Thank you
Getting SU error everytime I try to do anything on Titanium Backup, even after I updated SU. Any thoughts?
EDIT: Seems that, besides updating the SU app, I also needed to update the binary through SU itself. It seems to be working fine now. Thnx!
I succeeded too..

Hey can anyone help me root my android 2.3.4? I have a att fusion that I'm trying to root and I don't know if there is a way to. Just thought I'd come here and get a straight answer.
Sent from my XDA App
me too
hope someone has a way. I've been trying for three days to root this phone and nothing works so far. Not sure if [email protected] has done anything or not to prevent rooting.
Step 1. http://androidforums.com/huawei-son...nmod-7-2-zad-rom-v-1-5huawei-u8650-sonic.html
Download and unzip the "Drivers Huawei (adb drivers)" to your desktop and install the drivers. Also download and unzip the "Custom CM Recovery" to your desktop as you will need it later.
Step 2. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1321582
Create a folder named DooMLoRD-v4 on your desktop and Download DooMLoRD_v4_ROOT-zergRush-busybox-su.zip and unzip it to that folder.
Put your phone into USB debugging mode and run the "runme" batch file in the DooMLoRD-v4 folder on your desktop. When done your phone should be rooted.
Step 3. Open the Custom CM Recovery folder and run the "Instalador" batch file
you now should have a rooted AT&T Fusion with ClockworkMod Recovery installed on it.
Step 4. http://androidforums.com/huawei-son...nmod-7-2-zad-rom-v-1-5huawei-u8650-sonic.html
Scroll down and you will find two custom roms that you can download and install on your phone with CM Recovery. Before you install open up the "system" folder and open the build.prop file in notepad once opened go to edit and in the drop down you should see a replace option. Replace "u8650" with "u8652" so that in your info your phone will have the right model number and save it.
Thanks!

Got all the files still cannot ROOT this damn thing, Tried Using Z4root wont work, Tried Using SuperOneClick, it Hangs on the #7 Process waiting for the Phone then I tried Using DoomLord V4 and it gets pretty far but shows that the Internal program memory is non-rewritable so im starting to guess "NO ROOT" is this possible?
Try and download the newest version of superuser and make a root file on the sd card. After that superuser is downloaded, put the file into the root file and wait for it to transfer, then when thats finished power off the phone and put it into recovery mode and apply update from SD card and choose zip file. Choose the superuser update and let it go through the process. Once its finished reboot device and you have root. Now all you have to do is flash a custom recovery on it and load a rom.
Let me know how it works!

Has anyone tried this root process with the fusion 2? If it doesn't work is there another way to root the fusion 2? Thanks.
had same problem...this will fix it
First thing that you want to do is root your phone. I have done this twice with this method and it has worked great both times.
1) ROOTING YOUR FUSION:
This is the method that worked for me. It was already stated in another thread on this forum:
QUOTE from : charliedrums....
"Here is what I did: (this tutorial was done by sd_james over at xda developers)
1. You need to install the latest Android SDK (search google for latest version)
2. download SuperOneClick v2.3.3
3. Follow the instructions and make sure that you have set your Settings > Development > USB Debugging box checked. I also set Unknown sources checkbox on.
4. Type in the following code on the phone keypad
*#*# 2846579 #*#*
This will open up the Service Mode
Go to Project Menu > Background Settings > Log Settings
Turn on Log Switch and set Log Level Settings to Verbose
go back one screen
Go to Dump and Log and place a check in all log settings.
Reboot the phone
After reboot use superoneclick2.3.3
In superoneclick on the general tab click the root button and wait for it.
This is what worked for me.""
2) After your root, you want to install the Clockwork mod for this phone. (To do the back up for your rom and also install this will enable you to install custom Roms for this phone.)

Anyway, i don't really know what can i do with it besides uninstalling those pesky pre-installed apps. Hurhurhur.

Crazy that this one, I decided to try it and it works perfectly at the first time.
I have not deleted anything.
You just have to update the superuser and the binary as they are very old.
Thank you.

Maybe you can try to extract the apps you deleted from my first link, and push via ADB. I don't think you can flash the whole thing, but maybe someone can make it CWM-flashable.

Ok first step to step:
1. USB debugging must be on.
2. Start the Super One Click(run as admin on win7,win8)
3. Connect Prada to PC and choose battery charge only option.
4. When PC install all drivers hit the root button. If all goes well After 30sec you will get rooted phone.
It is recommended that before all this you have LG PC Suite installed. It is not important that LG PC Suite be active during rooting.
Please deactivate all antivirus aps on Your PC. After rooting you dont have to update superuser apk on your Prada. It will work perfect as it is.

make sure the file name is recovery.img

Hey ICE.....Is it suitable for Optimus Net P690 in India.....?????
Does this support custom themes?
p690f can't get qtadb to link phone/PC
Hi
I am stumped, as a complete novice to smart phone/linux.
At present my status is:
1. Phone is rooted, so I was able to get this done from my PC.
2. Now I have copied the recovery.img & flash.img to SD card.
3. I have Terminal emulator on phone &/or Sd card.
4. When in USB storage is activated & connected to PC, I can see all the files but on terminal emulator.
5. I have Qtabd on my PC but it will not 'see' my phone either in USB storage activated or not activated or in debug mode.
6. When debug mode activated, USB storage is deactivated. Seems both not able to be on.
7. In one of the XDA threads there was mention of 'demounting' the sd card so have also tried that in same combinations of SD/ debug.
I have been trying to sort this out on another forum but seems there is more info available on here.
I am having a huge problem tying to get Recovery working direct on the phone, mainly due to my inexperience on these devices, I am very happy to learn if pointed in right direction. Of course my concern also is not to brick the phone!!
Any assistance or links to suitable areas appreciated.
Whoops seems I posted on wrong thread, thought it was the similar one for P690, applogies.
WaHooo
I managed to finally get recovery activated using the terminal emulator on the SMALL screen of my phone!!
However I would still very much appreciate sorting out Qtadb connection as I am sure sometime in the future I will need to do some additions/deletions to my p690.
So, any info etc will be appreciated.
For any other Newbies who may see this,
1. To copy from a browser text long touch at start/end of text, then drag to high light.
2. To copy, touch highlighted area, you should get a message 'copied to clipboard'. To cancel, if you make a mistake like I made MANY touch some where else on screen.
3. With Terminal emulator started, (P690), after entering 'su' tap touch screen to bring up keyboard and select 'return/enter key'. This gives you Super User.
Long touch screen brings up menu withe 'paste',select.
4. To toggle back to browser, to same screen you were working on, hold down second key on bottom. This will bring up all the recent icons for what you were working on, select 'browser'. Continue copy line by line.
5. To toggle back to emulator, long press 2nd from left key & select emulator.
Hope this assists someone.
The p690 and this phone are not the same. This phone is from Net 10, idk about the p690, but this phone is. This one is also cdma. I think the p690 is gsm. They are NOT cross compatible. I'd brick my phone if I used a p690 rom.
sorry guys been working on code....
oldfella2... spark is right... this is for l45c on net10 or tracphone...only...the p690 is diff...there is a thread here on that phone...spark you can coustom theme. I haven't yet but I don't see why not...

dude! if you can get cyanogen working i will be forever in your debt
Update please
Hi there. Been crack flashing my phone for a while and finally got my wife's phone rooted today.
Just wondering if anyone has had any luck flashing a custom recovery yet (eg CWM or Amon Ra)? If so, please post a guide. As I have been unable to find anything using my Google-fu.
Also, all your links were removed. So other than hinting at a solution. This thread is zero help.
Thanks in Advance!
My Phone: HTC Evo 4G (flashed to Cricket)
Wife's Phone: LG Optimus (LGL45C)
I have a question regarding etc..... Does your rom include a tun.ko file and if not do you know of anyone or anyway to run openvpn/droidvpn or just changeing kernels would be nice...
I can't root.
I have an L45C with 2.3.4 on it and it just won't root. I have tried: Gingerbreak, z4root, and unlock root, none of them worked. I tried gingerbreak a few times at day, and all night as I slept, but my phone just isn't rooting!
If any of you have gotten root please do tell me how.
no updates yet?
Can someone please post a link to this ROM? I had it but can't find ir and I need it bad, phone is semi-bricked and I have a corrupt backup. PLEASE!!
Regards,
rast4man

ROM/Recovery LGL45C
What are the results of flashing this recovery? Was it successful to flash as I have a backup for the phone that I have made thankfully.
results are great. For what little ROM development, this is the best we have. Its just a ClockworkMod recovery image and then a rooted ROM. I'm still using it to this day and with all the apps and tweaks I've added, this phone rocks!!
My only complaint is I'm running out of internal space so I need to figure something out with that. Maybe I will try to re-partition my card to ext4 and try to increase internal memory by like 100mb. Apps2SD only goes so far sadly. I'm also going to try to put Team Win recovery on after I make sufficient backups. Let me know if I can help.

I was able to install the CWM Recovery to the phone just fine. Realized what I was doing incorrectly. Now to test the only ROM's that I know of that are available for the Q from Area51. Are there anymore ROM's being developed. The L45C is not a bad phone, just needs more lightweight ROM's to work with it.
