Fixed a bad upload of the su file, must of become corrupt sorry.


Silly permission bug again, but w/e. LG should know better, from what I am told this is a recently released device. This is a long standing known issue. Lg get your sh*t together.

Directions:
unzip su.zip into the current path (directory) you are in.

adb shell

(while in adb shell)
rm /data/local/tmp/profile_calib_m
ln -s /data/local.prop /data/local/tmp/profile_calib_m
exit


adb reboot
adb wait-for-device shell

(once in the adb shell again)

echo 'ro.kernel.qemu=1' > /data/local.prop
rm /data/local/tmp/profile_calib_m
exit


adb reboot
adb wait-for-device remount
adb push su /system/xbin/su
adb shell chown 0.0 /system/xbin/su
adb shell chmod 6755 /system/xbin/su
adb shell rm /data/local.prop
adb reboot

Once rebooted install superuser from the market:

Thanks for letting me watch you work & getting root for my wife's phone.

Edit: DroidHost of Androidarea51.com has made a OneClick for this phone using Jcase's root. it also installs a recovery & Superuser all at the same time.

Help Me Please

what do you do when it says permission denied or not permitted when waiting for device, remounting, or pushing su?

You actually left out a step. In order to push su to the phone you have to adb remount -o rw. Otherwise it is a read-only filesystem and it cannot be pushed to the phone. Most people would probably get this, but the novices who end up with bricked phones will be angry.

Great work!

Actually no, you are incorrect.

adb remount without the additional parameters is correct, and not possible of bricking a phone with adb remount. No novice would be angry, because there is not possible brick from this guide, as long as it is followed.

Did not unlock my lgl35g

Yes I am a Noob... nobody likes me :cowboy:

I have exhausted every resource that I could find on this phone. I thought that this post was the answer to my problem, however it did not seem to help at all. Everything seemed as if it was working fine as I went step by step through the process. However, I rebooted my phone and there is no difference then when I started. The "su.zip" file enclosed in this post was not able to extract into the directory of my ADB client. It kept saying root already existed, but I was unable to see it in windows explorer? Is this "su.zip" a modified version of a pre-existing file in the SDK kit? I really need to unlock this phone so that I can clean up the junk. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

:

Did you push the su binary file or the whole folder? If you pushed the whole folder you will have to remove the directory & start over.

Anyone know of a rooted ROM

I have looked all over, but it doesn't look like a dev has created a ROM for this device. Has anyone come across one? If I knew programming I would give it a shot, but it's a mystery to me. I know that CyanogenMod 9 for the L3 (e400) works, but there is a problem with the radios, hence no cellular, wifi, or bluetooth.

    Here is a copy of my stock rooted ROM.

    I am PMing you a link to my rooted stock rom. Download this and unzip. Open and make sure the tar and other files are inside a folder (try naming the folder "1") and that this folder is placed in the folder clockworkmod/backup/ on the sd card. Now try to locate the backup. And restore to it. Here are the steps to restore:
    1. Boot into ClockworkMod Recovery ( shouldn't be a problem)
    2. Use the volume down button to select backup/restore rom
    3.Use power button to enter
    4.Choose restore the same way
    5.Then choose 1 and press power button

    P.S. Sorry, I did not notice that inside the "clockworkmod" folder is another folder called "backup" and this is where you put the backup folder. Make sure you put the folder there, not the zip file. You have to unzip it first and then copy the folder containing the tar files to the "backup" folder. You may rename the folder you copied to 1. Note: you will need 7-zip to unzip the file that you download from my dropbox link. Good luck!

    You do not see a # unless you type su, which you don't use in order to root. Follow the steps provided previously by other users that have posted rooting instructions. If you have done these steps correctly, then you can get superuser from play store. This will allow you to control what has root access to your phone. Then get "root checker" app from play store. If you press the button in the app and you are prompted by superuser, press allow. If you get a successful message then you have done it right and your done!

    Any chance I can get a PM of this ROM?

    LGL35G /ATT/Straight talk

    I spent weeks on trying to root this phone i tried this method here in abshell with android SDK and many many methods and came up with access denied or no root found errors. until I found only one version of one click that root my lg35g / gingerbread. that was superoneclick-1.6.5 it rooted my phone in a matter of seconds . So i thought i would share that so maybe i could save somebody a whole lot of time and headaches.Its kinda hard to find someone with the program to download but it well worth the search. I am attaching a download of the program
