[Guide][TOOL] FASTBOOTROOT (deprecated)

---

(DEPRECATED)

I no longer support or care to support this is someone wants to take over and deal with this and the complaints go for it. It has not been tried on the 2.2.2 version of android in case you want to try it.


Tired of all those funky ways of rooting? Wanna just push a button and be rooted?
Guess what I've got something for you.

Introducing FastbootRoot (patent not pending) for the virgin mobile optimus v

FastbootRoot was designed with simplicity in mind. The easy to use ui makes rooting your lg optimus easy and quick without all those adb commands. It takes the guess work out ( is this right, what does he mean by that? ) of rooting your phone.

Features:
flash a custom recovery
this feature only flashes a custom recovery without rooting your phone giving you the ability to back up your current system without root. I put this in here in case of needing to return the phone for warranty matters

flash the entire shebang
This flashes a new boot image, a new system image*, and custom recovery.

Revert to stock
thanks to destundead we now have the stock system image and boot combined with my stock recovery we are good to go

New experimental install windows xp fastboot drivers
My goal is to fully automate this process and to make this as painless as possible for the new users. This new feature is untested and will either work or it won't. Give me some feedback if it does or doesn't.



--------------------------How to Use--------------------------

Download fastbootroot from here and place it on your desktop.

Download the usb drivers from here

On your phone turn on usb debugging by pushing menu, then settings, then applications, then development, and then usb debugging.

Install the drivers ( I find that rebooting after the drivers have been installed will install a whole new set of drivers. I recommend this method)

unzip fastbootroot and inside double click the fastbootroot file. Make your selection and your done.


Here's a video on using it and a little explanation
watch it here


WHAT THE FUTURE HOLDS:


no need to install usb drivers




Enjoy this and remember this works fully on windows 7 and I tested it myself. No matter what there's always room for user error though in which case I take no responsibility if things go wrong.


PROBLEMS AND COMPLAINTS
Some people are reporting problems like drivers not installing or other things. First off if you have a problem you need to state exactly what operating system you are using (windows 7, windows vista, or windows xp).
This only works with the virgin mobile optimus v. Make sure you have the virgin mobile optimus v (not a optimus t, m or a picture of the v pasted on top of a w490)
Tell me what you did exactly don't lie. I know from experience when someone says, 'I did this I definitely didn't do that', whether or not they are holding something back. The more info you can give the better if your holding something back that's gonna delay the process.
This is free. I ask for donations but they aren't required at all. So when your asking for more things remember this is free.



Like my work donate to me here




*the new system image is stock with root, flash_image and busybox installed

It's fully automated?

yep the only thing that you gotta do is download fastbootroot and the lg drivers. It will take care of everything else for you. I will say that I've tested this and my earlier variant of it quite a few times. I even made a video for the other one.

Downloading this now. will give it a try. Thanks!

your in fastboot by now you should be good unless you did something crazy. What will happen is windows will automatically install the fastboot drivers and do it's thing and you'll be good

This does not seem to be happening. How can I abort the fastboot procedure so I can reboot and try again?

Hello? Please someone be there who can help me!

The detection sequence you describe did not work, Windows is not finding the drivers properly. Is it safe to reboot the machine while in fastboot? Can I unplug the USB without bricking my phone?

If nothing has flashed, I'm sure you're fine. It dependant on how far it got .

Would op mind posting the manual way to root through fast boot?
