Hey guys,

I'm having trouble finding any resources on how to root my Straight Talk Lg L38C Optimus Dynamic. I've used the search function on the xda app with no luck. Could anyone point me in the right direction?

LG Optimus Dynamic LGL38C

As some of you have stated there are differences between the Logic and Dynamic the One that stands out the most is Logic(GSM) Dynamic(CDMA) but there are other differences also Kernel modules and compile for one. We have made One Click Root, CWM Install and Custom Unlocked Kernel specifically for the Dynamic now, and we have a Custom Rom that will be ready to beta test I myself have the Dynamic and the rom installs and runs fine. if you would be intrested in becoming part of the AreaRom Dev Group as a Beta Tester please stop by and sign up for our site and come visit us in IRC Chat (we have our own network with webchat) Find Us HERE We Hope to see some of you soon.

The Poot app uses Qt, which a set of cross-platform c++ libraries. The Ministro app is the way these libraries are distributed for android so they may be shared among all the different Qt apps. This way you wont install multiple Qt apps and end up having many copies of all the Qt libraries in different locations.

You can get the ROM for this phone at WWW.androidarea51.com it is in early test but I think the the devs at androidarea51 are doing a great job ROM runs perfect for me so far and the area51 theme included is spectacular

LG-L38C root

Yeah, I'm a noob. I've searched for a step by step root process but most just give you an explanation as to why I should root. Well I've made up my mind that I want to because the LG-L38C has all that storage, internal and SD, sitting there but I can't use it. I downloaded the one click and extracted it, on the phone I enabled USB Debugging, stay awake, and Unmounted the SD card. Hooked up the phone directly to the PC and opened one click and followed the screen prompts. It says Phone connected(Good!) press any key to continue..., but it does nothing. Am I missing some prerequisite procedure for this? Any help, any nudge in the right direction is MUCH appreciated. I thank you in advance.

Tried SuperOneClick first, no luck. This method worked flawlessly. Thx for the info.

Straight Talk LG Optimus Showtime L86C Android 4.0.4

Straight Talk LG Optimus Showtime L86CV10a.8b708a4 (Very similar to T-Mobile L9)

I just bought the same phone/version from StraightTalk(CDMA) and I loved it until I tried out the PimpMyRom app from Google Play store.
Now, I can't make a call or receive SMS/MMS, not showing IMEI or network info at all and reboots constantly as well as randomly.
Can anyone hook me up with a stock ROM or the original build.prop info... or at least tell me how o fix it through the terminal emulator?
Novice to the development aspect

I must be the only one with this issue because I couldn't even find a thread or post for this phone on here
Kinda desperate, since I just paid $200 for this phone...

Can anyone help me figure how to get my phone to recognize its own IMEI/cpuinfo? Can only use it on wifi but it still reboots randomly.

The ONLY reason it *didn't help you* is because you didn't take the time to do the simple stuff yourself. Register, Search, and Read... That is what is expected. http colon slash slash androidarea51 dot com slash rom-releses-228 :good:

    Another root method

    For those of you who like to carry your root solution on your phone with you, giantpune has adapted his "Poot" rooting solution from the LG Optimus Elite to the Huawei Ascend 866c Straight Talk phone, and this poot-debug.apk works on our LG38C (Optimus Dynamic) as well (even though the screen is wonky due to the resolution issues with our 240x320 screen).

    For the .apk, please go to http://androidforums.com/ascend-y-a...root-huawei-ascend-y-h866c-3.html#post5418113 (and donate to giantpune at his link, if his solution helped you).

    For directions on how to use giantpune's Poot method, there are lots of guides out there on how to use Poot, but I summarize briefly below (and I mean BRIEFLY):
    1. Install poot-debug.apk (make sure Settings -> Applications -> Unknown Sources is checked on; also, may want to make sure that you have Settings -> Applications -> Development -> USB Debugging checked on too)
    2. Install Ministro II (from Google Play market; there are links out there for those who don't have market access).
    3. Open Poot on your phone. The GUI will look wonky because of our phone's weird, small screen resolution. Allow Poot to download its required libraries.
    4. When Poot has downloaded its libraries, click on the button (only left half of button will show due to screen resolution) that says "Poot"
    5. Close out of program. Reboot phone.

    If you want to check on root, you can use Poot's built-in rootchecker, or you can download rootchecker from Play Market.

    First thing you will want to do after rooting phone is download Superuser (from Google Play Market), and update the su binary (under the "Info" menu). Once that is done, you are updated and good to go.

    If you want to use SuperSU instead of Superuser as your su managing GUI, then do all steps above, THEN download SuperSU (from Google Play Market), then run SuperSU and allow SuperSU to update the su binary when it asks, then close out of SuperSU and uninstall Superuser (to avoid any conflict between su managing GUIs).

    If the above helped, then please do NOT thank me, but please consider thanking and/or donating to giantpune at the link above; without his hard work, this solution would not have been possible.

    Oh, and though I haven't tried it, I am pretty sure that the above method would also work on the LG Logic (L35) Straight Talk phone. If anyone can use and report, that would be great.

    EDIT: Tried it on a friend's LG Logic, and it works on that phone too. Yay!

    Thank you, Momerat99, for clarifying re: Apps2SD and for confirming that the One-Click root works for the Dynamic as well.

    Have never personally rooted a device and so am a bit wary of trying. But am recalling that in my early computer days (early-mid '80s), before Mac and long before Windows, we worked at root level almost all the time. So I shouldn't be so wary, I think.

    My current tablet was delivered to me rooted and with Uberoid installed. I've enjoyed the benefits of the "rooting": but did not gain the understanding or experience of doing the actual rooting.

    Live off the grid and the only phone service available to me is cell via Verizon working off the old Alltel tower. Have been waiting and waiting for Straight Talk (and related America Movil companies) to offer a smart phone that would work on Verizon. So glad that such an affordable one is now available. (Likewise, only real internet available to me is via a wireless co-op with speeds limited to about 1 MB/s up and down.)

    Am tempted to tether to the Dynamic and see what speeds I can get. But don't want to risk getting booted off Straight Talk for doing so since then I would be without phone at home (from which I also work). No landline here. Phone company wanted $35,000 to run landline cable to me in '02 and I opted not to pay that. Back then, Alltel was in business and delivered strong, reliable 5-bar cell here..

    I actually may not get great speeds via the phone at home. Will have to find out. Before the wireless co-op, I was using a Verizon "aircard" for internet. It delivered speeds faster than typical dial-up but not fast enough to stream a YouTube video or allow a Skype conversation. That was in '03-'04 era. Same card, same laptop, in major cities while on the road, delivered what I considered blazing fast speeds back then. Think I clocked it at 800 kbps then in New Orleans and Phoenix and in several other cities. It MAY be that the Verizon data signal still will be poor here on my land. Will have to find out. My property is 12 miles from the tower, but I have clear line of sight. I notice no difference in speed here and in town using Verizon's funky, very slow "mobile web" on Straight Talk on my current non-Android phone.

    Looking forward to finding out and to making a Dynamic work like it should. Will probably be back with more questions as I begin fiddling with it. Going to pick it up next trip to Albuquerque -- sometime in the next week.

    Grateful for the help.
