No :( Having this phone rooted is just for delete factory apps. In my case was for use DroidWall. I hope not to be the only one waiting for Custom ROM.

Well... before I rooted, I could not use my beloved Samsung Galaxy Keyboard - which is XT9 in vertical and QWERTY in horizontal mode. Also I had some app data on my old phone, that I could not copy to the new phone. When rooted, this is possible. And then removing the google+ app was not possible when not rooted. So rooting indeed made sense in my case.

You can develop kernels??
Than you must try RECOVERY ALSO.
If you got the UI.
I will make it working for you.
But i don't have environment to build recovery..

when I mount recovery found on this page i get error in recovery menu (there is an android figure lying and some triangle and a blue line), but when I press voldown or up i can move through some items but i can't see what I'm selecting nor select that but when I have stock recovery it goes directly to hard reset without being able to select anything.

Try this one :D this works I tried twice and both were successful

Sent from my LG-E610 using xda app-developers app

I also tryed this one but still i get the same error saying permission dinied. But as i went through the cmd code i found out that the bat cant change the partitions of the /system/xbin/ to read-write and it gets an error saying it is read only.
Any ideas on that??

Edit: I also tryed via adb shell from computer as i thought that i could remount it from there but of course i forgot. I need Su for that.

Also did anyone try SuperOneClick on our phone?

Thanks in advance for any helpful tips

yea the problem i have only a Centos box not a Ubuntu one, and never managed to setup the android build enviroment on it, its not a problem to compile a kernel but the android system is a different story

Sorry for my English but google translator.

Sure, I don't want to be misunderstood. Root is great. The posibilities goes with the user needs.
BTW How about the Galaxy Keyboard? Is better that Swype/SwiftKey?

How about adding a widget to the Dock or an app widget to the lock screen? I donwloaded Chomp SMS to replace my stock messaging app, but I found out the normal icon does not show a badge, saying how many unread messages I got.

They have a 1x1 widget that does the trick, but I cant put it to the Dock, nor the lock screen :/

EDIT: Finally I got it working... don't know exactly what I did besides using another computer with Windows 8 developer preview.


I am trying to root, but this is what I get (phone reboots, but it's not rooted, checked on root checker):

What is this rm failed...
I'm on V10b (Brazil), E612f and Kernel 3.0.8-perf

EDIT: BTW, I should say that I'm trying jimhon method: http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=30491581&postcount=43

PS: After I rebooted my computer, I did get past the rm failed for ... but still I got lots of error messages, and still no root :/

    [GUIDE] Flash Stock Firmware

    I am not sure if this has been posted before here.
    But I am posting, do comment if you find it helpful.

    Credit goes to the website: hackmyandroid.com

    Steps:

    1. Download LG Optimus l5 USB Driver for Windows | Mac.

    2. Download official LG Optimus l5 stock firmware from this page. The file would be a .kdz file. Download the appropriate firmware according to your network provider and country.

    3. Download KDZ updater and install it on your computer.

    4. The zip file has a Microsoft XML parser, make sure you run it as an administrator and restart your PC. This will solve the wparam 100 and lparam 6 issue mentioned in a comment below.

    5. The next step is to put your phone into emergency mode. To do this, remove the battery of your phone and re-insert it (don’t turn it on). Press and hold Volume Up button and Volume Down button. While you are pressing the two buttons, press the Power button. So now, you must be pressing all three buttons together.

    6. Your phone will boot into emergency mode and you should see a yellow screen with Emergency mode written on it.
    Pick up the USB Cable and connect your phone to the computer via the USB Cable.

    7. Pick up the USB Cable and connect your phone to the computer via the USB Cable.

    8. Run KDZ updater as Administrator.

    9. Choose the following options in KDZ Updater: Type: 3GQCT Phone Mode: DIAG and KDZ file is the one you downloaded in step 3. See the image below,

    Root-LG-P350-LG-Update.png


    10. Re-check with the image above and ensure that you have the appropriate settings on the KDZ updater.

    11. click on “Launch Software Update” button.

    12. This process is usually long. It take quite a long time for the firmware to be flashed on your phone.

    13. If everything goes well, you will see “Finished” written in the log screen and your phone will change to switched off mode from Emergency mode.

    14. The next time you turn it on, your phone will take a lot of time to reboot. Stay Cool! its normal.
