Rooting LG Optimus F3 - Virgin Mobile (Mac Users)

[STORY TO ROOTING MY DEVICE AND 2 ISSUES THAT I ENCOUNTERED]
I got my LG Optimus F3 last week and searching everywhere on the internet to know how to root my device, I did not find anything but only how to root other devices that are LG Optimus. I posted on here XDA Developers and richardpwnsner recommended Motochopper. I tried using it on a Windows it failed, maybe because I followed steps that were for a LG Optimus F5 but it caused some glitches on my phone so I had to factory reset my device.
Rooting device using Windows http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2334544 What I first followed.
I tried it on my mac on Friday (August 25th, 2013). I have rooted my device successfully and these 3 days I did not have any issues but two.
*My main issue on android* I had only one issue when trying to change my Superuser by CLOCKWORKMOD since I was accustomed to Superuser by CHAINSDD on my old device (Kyocera Event). The binary did not want to update. I tried SuperSU by CHAINFIRE same issue occured. I sticked to the original Superuser that was installed and the features are much better and no issues, binary did update on it.
*My other issue on my Mac but totally worth it* I rooted my phone using my mac, when I downloaded Motochopper, I unzipped the file and opened the file's folder and it froze my computer, I attempted other times and it kept freezing my computer. I believe it is due to my virus scanner (Kaspersky) due to it freezing/crashing my mac anytime there is a (.exe) file but not 100% sure. So take your risk as I really don't give a c**p and accomplished my goal.
[STEPS TO ROOTING]
I rooted my device by following these steps and I take no credit for anything of this, I'm just sharing information from othersand I'm not responsible for anything that occurs to any of your devices and have no experience on this so don't be asking me questions since I'm no developer just someone who truly loves the concept of rooting. The steps that I followed were by how to root a Samsung Galaxy S3.
Step 1: Download Motochopper from anywhere you like here are some posts that have the file:

http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2334544
Make sure when you download the file unzip the file to your desktop.
Step 2: Enable USB Debugging is Enabled (Settings>Developer Options>USB Debugging)
Step 3: Make sure you have a password on your Mac.
Step 4: Connect your device having it on and USB Debugging Enabled
Step 5: Open Terminal Window and type in each of the following commands in ordered by pressing Enter one after the other.
- cd Desktop
- cd motochopper
- chmod 755*
- sudo sh run.sh (After this it will ask for your password, input your password it looks like this)

Alternative solution
Motochopper didn't work on my VM Optimus F3 so I used saferoot instead. Beware, if you downloaded the latest firmware update, you need to flash to stock ROM. I used LGflash for that.

I also have been trying to root my f3. I got it about a week ago and cannot find software to work. I had all the drivers installed from the Lg website amd tried saferoot amd motochopper to no avail. Ive also tried towelroot amd framaroot as on device roots and got no results. When i used framaroot i got neither an error message nor a confirmed root message. The app seemed to force close amd it returned me to my home screen... any suggestions? Its a VM device btw

Try using the phones web browser to download and install stump root. Stump roots gui should say press grind to continue followed by a popup window that says your device is not natively supported. Click force root. After its done running download supersu by chainsfire from the app store and press normal when it asks to be updated. You should then be rooted.

tried so many times but nothing happend...
for your information
Device is rooted.
USB debugging is turned on,
I run the application as an Admin
successfully installed the driver using AdbDriverInstaller
nothing is wrong with the cable too...
Any ideas?

Help
I've seen one or two threads that were in the same vein as this, but no clear resolution. Every time I open SuperSU, I get the message, "The SU binary needs to be updated. Continue?" I select "Continue," and am given the message to install it normally or through TWRP/CWM. If I try through TWRP, the phone restarts into TWRP, but does nothing. If I select "Normal," I get the "Installation failed!" message. I tried uninstalling/reinstalling SuperSU, but that didn't do anything.
In a related problem, I only have root access pretty much immediately after I reboot. Only immediately after I restart the phone can I use apps like WiFi Tether or Titanium.
I'm on stock, rooted 4.2.2. Any help would be great, thanks! :crying:

For problem with su binary updating but end up in failure you must delete set.immutables theres a guide on xda somewhere but you need termanal emulator on your device to remove
