I have recently bought an lg optimus 3d (P920) as my third android phone and as usual i'm wanting to root this device.
I've been told to use superoneclick as the easiest method of root for this phone (but im open to other ideas) and so i have downloaded superoneclick 1.9.5 short fuse.
I've enabled usb debugging and allowed installation of non market apps etc. but when i connect my optimus to my computer nothing seems to show on superoneclick and superoneclick does not even recognise that i have a device connected.
This is strange because my optimus has no problems with connection to my computer othewise (as in connecting to my computer and transferring files).
Im using Windows 7 and just a standard lg optimus 3d. If anyone could identify my problem and find a solution that would be a great help thanks!!
Try the latest superoneclick version 2.3.3 :

As a tip for LG users, make sure you select “Use alternate ADB Parser” under the advanced tab.

Look in your settings, scroll down to about phone then scroll to the bottom where it says software version. which version is it?
I know this is obvious but have you got adb on your pc as its needed? Without it you can't root.

After flashing cm7 on my optimus, I cannot seem to connect it to the lg pc suite 4... I have already installed all drivers and mass storage works, I need the lg pc suite to work because i need to sync all my contacts and stuff back to my phone after the flashing... Some help will be greatly appreciated
Sounds like you're missing some app (or service) that handles the LG PC Suite. Which CM7 did not come with, you should check in your stock/original ROM under
Code:
/system/app/
or
Code:
/data/app/
for any apps that looks like they're related to the PC Suite.
Then try install them and see what happens.
same problem here
can anyone work on this...thanks
Works with gingerbreak?
Yep!

nope after 5minutes still running...
i can't root my p920....
but also with root,we need a kernel that allow overclock if we want clock the cpu to 1.2ghz like gs2,i think?
Oh maybe only works with older software. I was able to root. Make sure u have debugging on. Yeah, someone needs to first make a recovery then a oc kernel.

Hi Rob, firstly welcome to Android, be patient, root will arrive shortly.
However, unless you need to do some SERIOUS hacking you probably do not need root to do stuff in Android you needed to jailbreak the iPhone for. ie, just put mp3 files on you device's mSD card and they will play, same with videos, same with games. You don't need to bypass the market (as in itunes) you just need to alter you settings to accept none market stuff. A couple of clicks and your done!

Myn is rooted
You need to download google developers sdk go here http://developer.android.com/sdk/index.html
and the Lg optimus 3D drivers make sure debuging is on
thanks for the welcome. so this might be another stupid question, but what is the 'root'? what does rooting actually do and is it a necessary requirement, i wont be using any custom software or writing any of my own programs, im happy with the way it is id just like to get the odd paid app for free from time to time unless theres a reason to root to get free apps or whatever(i dont always pirate i usually stick with free apps unless theres a major diff between the paid and free versions, for example just this afternoon i paid for perfectlockapp from the marketplace). also off topic but the phone has 8gb internal sd, around 900mb internal memory and ive got an 8gb external sd card. all the apps ive installed were saved onto the internal memory but i figured out how to transfer them to internal sd,but the internal sd has a capacity of only 5.93gb useable.how do i get the apps to goto onto the external sd card or cant i do this?if i cant,what is the external card for? cheers guys.rob

turn debugging on and connect your phone try it
Need extra info
I to am trying to root a P920, I've been reading through this thread:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=803682
and it talks constantly about putting the phone in debug mode.
How do I do that?
Second I'm supposed to get the right drivers for the phone, but I don't understand where.
I have the android SDK installed with all the optional bits and Eclipse integration. I've also just downloaded super one click from the other thread.
Thanks
you find the drivers in LGE folder in the internal memory of your 3D phone or search for this LGUnitedMobileDriver_S498MA22_WHQL_ML_Ver_2.2.exe
for debug mode--->settings-application-developer-debug
Nic you're a star. I just figured out the debugging thing, so was on my way back to post that I found it, but had no clue about the drivers
Cheers
Ian
Right, I seem to have rooted my phone
Here is some additional information in case it helps.
Previously I downloaded the Android SDK and Eclipse plug in. The eclipse plug in isn't required for this, the details are above.
I put it in debug mode as detailed above.
I downloaded the file SuperOneClickv1.9.5-ShortFuse.zip from the link in my post above.
Now here's the useful bit. I couldn't get my PC to recognise my phone, it complained it couldn't load the drivers. So I went to:
edit: ok I can't post external links yet, on lg.com there's a mobile support section and a support tool.
and downloaded the support tool. This allowed me to download and install the LG P920 drivers. Once this was done I reconnected my phone to the PC and ran SuperOneClick.exe then clicked on Root.
The dos box flashed up about a dozen times, and I was about to disable debug when it said "Success!"
I'm new to all of this so sorry for being a noob.
Once I root the phone. Does this automatically imply I also unlocked it? If not how do you unlock the phone? I know there's some way to unlock them without needing to use unlock codes.
The carrier I want to use (MTS) is so puny they have a terrible phone selection. I'm thinking about rooting and having the LG Optimus 3D and rooting it. I had a friend who's done such to a HTC Desire, but it seems every phone is done very differently.
Edit: Okay, I I found the topic http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1186406 about unlocking the phone which I think makes sense but it's still difficult to follow and it seems a handful of people are having issues with it.
I can't post on that topic as I'm too new. I'm looking forward to getting this phone, rooting, and doing that unlock though once I know for sure that I'll be able to do it.

1. Download Superoneclick 2.2
------------------------------------------------------------
(((((((((((((((((((((www.4shared.com/file/ICp5e5Fc/SuperOneClickv22-ShortFuse.html))))))))))))))))))))))))
----------------------------------------------------------------
After downloading extract it anywhere you please. Now go to ur system folder i.e where you have installed your OS (i.e Win xp, win 7 etc) Lets say its in the 'X' Drive. So go to X:/WINDOWS/system32/cmd.exe and copy it, now go to where you installed Superoneclick. Inside the folder there'll be a folder as "ADB" open it and paste the 'cmd.exe' you copied.
\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\
2. Now you need the LG ADB Drivers
Download the drivers and install it:-
-------------------------------------------
(((((((((((((((((((((www.junefabrics.com/bin2/LGDriver.exe)))))))))))))))))))))
--------------------------------------------
It is recommended that you restart after installing the drivers.

===============================================================================================================
==============================================================================================================
3. Connect your Device
After installing the Drivers Connect Your Optimus Net using the data cable. In your Device go to settings>Applications>Development>USB Debbuging. Check the box beside it. It will give you a warning just click OK. When you connect your Device you will see 'Turn USB storage on" option DO NOT TURN IT ON. After connecting you will see in the notification bar that "USB Debbuging On" it means you have done evrythng ok uptil now.
Now before rooting Go to settings>Storage>Unmount SD Card it will ask you if you want to unmount click OK. After it is unmounted you can begin rooting. MAKE SURE YOU UNMOUNT THE SD CARD OTHERWISE IT MAY BE COMPLETELY ERASED.
4. Now Let's Root
Now Go to the ADB folder. Remember the cmd.exe you pasted there? Click on it.
WINDOWS 7 USERS MAKE SURE BEFORE CLICKING CMD YOU RIGHT CLICK AND CLICK ON 'RUN AS ADMINISTRATOR' AND ALLOW
In the commands write the following:- [Give the exact spaces i have given OTHERWISE IT WILL NOT WORK!!]:-
adb devices (press enter)(after this command you should see your device id)
adb shell (press enter) (after this command you should see $ sign)
$ echo 1 >/data/local/lge_adb.conf (press enter)
DO NOT CLOSE THE WINDOW JUST MINIMIZE IT!!
Now go to Where you extracted Superoneclick and click on superoneclick.exe.
In the window on the Top Left hand Side of the window there will be an option 'ROOT'.
CLick on it!
it doesnot come on 3.4+
now i am rebooting my device
note:::[+] Rush did it ! It's a GG, man ![+] Killing ADB and restarting as root... enjoy!
when you get this message reboot your phone so that reboot process completes successfully
Hence, you have a rooted Optimus Net do whatever you want
Post replies and tell me if it worked

I will admit I am an android n00b, in fact, this is my first droid and only 3 weeks out of the packaging and I STILL managed to root it. A great DIY post. Works like a charm....
... and now I will try to figure the rest of this root business out.
Please help me, I tried to install LG Driver but after installing successful, I check in Device manager but don't found LG driver.
So it's still ok ? Can I continue to Root or not ?
If not pls upload Driver for me +__+, thanks very much
P/s: Bcs I'm a girl, so I don't know much about Android, so pls help me bro
Like ChickenCanFly, I am having problems with device manger recognizing the device and it return allowing ADB to display the device. I have tried the LG driver from above, and also the drivers provided from LG's website with no success. I tried on two different Windows 7 (32bit), Win Server 08 R2 (64bit) and Windows XP Pro (32bit) with no positive outcome. It seems that I can not get this phone to be recognized by any version of Windows. Any help would be appreciated.
LG Optimus Net Driver Fix if Problem

For those having issues with the driver working, go to the official LG page here:

Download LG Mobile Support Tool
Once Installed, choose "Install USB Driver"
Then choose the model number of your phone. (Can be found by pulling the battery and looking on the info panel)
Install and then go through your rooting method.
Hope this helps someone else!

This tool should help you do just that:
http://unlockroot.com/
It does support our phone the LG Optimus Net.
It also can root your phone for you too.
But if I root my phone and then unroot, then can I take it to the guarantees, would they be able to see that I have had my phone rooted? Would they accept my phones guarantees?

No they shouldn't if you completely removed the software changes and undo any other customizes such as changing the boot animation and UI tweaks.
I had a phone that had a custom bootloader, custom animations and custom rom with root, and the screen broke and I turned it in for a replacement and Verizon didn't say I word. I heard that in most cases the company the deals with exchange don't spend too much time playing around with the device to see what you did or no do to its software. Don't take my word for it though.

This will definitely seem like a repeat thread but as far as I can tell this specific issue has not been solved.
I have a rooted lg p999 so g2x or optimus 2x using clockworkmod.
I am trying to use USB tethering to use my phone internet connection on my computer (my computer does not have a wireless card).
If I am correct from what I have read I first download and install the lg united usb drivers package.......DONE
Next I plug in my phone via USB to my computer and some things should pop up and install.....SEMI DONE
One device LGE Android Phone does not install any drivers because it says it cannot find them.
To solve this I have tried downloading the tether inf file but that does not work as a driver for this device. (possibly i cannot find the correct inf file online?)
Next to solve this i tried manually installing remote ndis drivers from a list of network adapter drivers as mentioned here
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1120552
but when I get to network adapters nothing is found.
For the record in device manager LGE Android Phone shows up with the ! under other devices and only the onboard network card shows up under network adapters.
Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance.
What ROM and kernel do you have?

If you are running an ICS based rom, the upgrade to ICS broke USB tethering. if not then we will need more info.
After I updated my phone (lg g2 T-Mobile) I can't connect with android file transfer app on my Mac and the lg software option is missing. Can someone help with this.
