Fail to ROOT via SuperOneClick

Okay, i cant root with SuperOneClick, its my computer. Its SUPER SLOW and CANNOT do anything without freezing. I installed the LG drivers in safe mode (because it would never install in regular) and decided to try to root in safe mode and when it freezes for a bit (at any point), in Task Manager, it says "Not Responding"
Ive unblocked the files and even ran it in admin and yet it still fails and YES, my SD is unmounted and i have USB Debugging on. Here is my system specs:
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",

"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
Anyway i can manually root it? Like change the stuff myself? not the program AND NO! I WILL NOT UNLOCK THE BOOTLOADER!
Thanks!
Im using SuperOneClick 1.9

Do you know how to use adb?

I heard some have used gingerbreak.. Cannot confirm.. But it's an apk you install then run.. Might be worth a shot..

Look for a app called gingerbreak in the mkt I think. I had the same problem I figured it was cause I was using vista. If you can't find it email me from your phone and I can send you the apk. [email protected]

with those specs and it running super slow, i think you have bigger problems than root. that pc should be fast and smooth. forget about your phone and format that pc lol.
and this post would have been better placed here, as you didn't develop anything. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1039985

For starters you are posting in he wrong area plz read the rules. Also learn to use ADB. Mods plz move

Um... no? I did the SuperOneClick before on someone elses G2X, it roots without unlocking the bootloader.
NOTE: Finally i got it rooted but im sure there are others with this problem. I was actually using my friends computer to root it

I can easily erase disk but I want to keep my Windows 7 Partition and as I'm seeing the Erase disk option erases your windows 7 partition. I select the 'Something else...' Option to see if I can make a separate partition to Dual Boot from Linux to Windows. Well I'm stuck here.
Can anyone help a fellow newbie here?

Screenies were misplaced. But the last one is the one I wanted to place inline. Where it says I got stuck.

Uh.
Re-install Windows. Don't know if there's a way to restore it, sorry - I'm a n00b with this sort of thing, too - I'd have to Google it. I have no idea if you just formatted the whole HDD or if the data is still there or not written over enough as to be able to be retrieved or what. Partitioning is something I have never had much call to do on my own.
Then go to the Ubuntu web-site and use their Windows 7 installer. It will let you pick Xubuntu when you install - and it will dual-boot and does everything automatically. That's how I did it because I'm a n00b and didn't want to screw anything up.

Your getting no help because this isn't a computer help forum this is a mobile device development forum. There is a thread in the off topic sub forum for computer help use that. Or head over to the Ubuntu help forums

Home button

My home button has become pretty erratic. Sometimes it jumps home, sometimes opens the recent apps, and most of the time, nothing happens. Given the phone is more than 2 years old, that's OK.
Just saw a video of the I9000 dissemble and the author says this is mostly due to rust beneath the home button. Has anybody attempted this for our device? If so, can you guide me?
I know there are apps like Button Savior, but if possible, I would like to salvage the home button.
Thanks in advance....

OK.. Solved. Attempting repair is too risky, at least for a novice like me.
I just added this in the build.prop-
qemu.hw.mainkeys=0
Got awesome on screen nexus buttons.
Confirmed working on latest cm 11 nightly.
Btw found this on a YouTube video.
Sent from my Nexus 7 using xda app-developers app

for CM 11 you did it using ROOTEXPLORER or CM file manager?? and is the code correct? coz for me its not working

Used the default cm explorer. Remember to reboot the device after u insert the line. The line is correct, no doubt.

The line is correct but when I go frm CM file manager /system/build.prop and edit the prop file the whole prop file goes blank and there is 0 bytes data file size?? any guess what going on?
---------- Post added at 08:02 PM ---------- Previous post was at 07:36 PM ----------
in short if any changes are done to the build.prop file in /system/build.prop the size of the build.prop file becomes 0 bytes and the file is empty.... rebooting phone only ends up in bootloop since the prop file is empty... any suggestions??

Can't imagine what's wrong.. Anyway if you think it's a problem with cm manager, download Jrummy's Root Browser. It's way better for editing build. prop.

Also I am on 4.2.2. Just got phone today and spent a good 2 hours trying before asking for help! Hopefully it's a dumb mistake on my end and is an easy fix
Sent from my LG-D800 using Tapatalk

The furthest ive gotten is doing it manually in cmd and it says the image file is not a loki image and when it boots recovery its blank black screen. No one has any help for me? Should i try going back to stock recovery first? How do i do that?

I used freegee from the play store to install twrp 2.6.3.3, works perfectly.

I tried. It got stuck and wouldnt finish.
Sent from my LG-D800 using Tapatalk

So you'll never guess what happened. I woke up next to my phone and it was in cwm! But guess what?! My phone did the OTA on its own while I was asleep and bricked my 2 day old phone! Any help WITHOUT using Linux? I can't even get into recovery anymore because I tried to install another recovery zip to fix it and now there is no recovery

I'm making an appointment with geeksquad (phone came from best buy) and the service rep I talked to said they'd most likely replace it for me. If not, my computer asks me if I want to format the drive (repeatedly when I plug it in with every drive letter of the alphabet) what would happen if I did?
Sent from my P9070 using Tapatalk

Just restore back to stock. There is a lot of info on how to do this on this forum. You don't need the geek squad.

Hello. I just wanted to restore my nexus 5 and i used NRT for it. I pressed restore and after that it startet booting. Now the phone turned on and it wrote: optimalizing (starting apps) 2 of 2. After that it restarted again. I know i was stuck in bootlomp. My pc is not working properly and 90% of images i downloaded were corrupted. In flashing in hashcheck it wrote missmatch. There is photo that i dont know if it is ok but i will post it anyway.

i tried it, but it didn´t work for me. NRT were not able to find my phone. Is there any other plan to fix this by any other app or something else?

Don't use a tool kit. Just flash the factory image using fastboot. See the general forum for the sticky on how to flash a factory image.
