Thanks in advance

link not working... 404..

just insert www infront of link

can some-one download that script, and attach here? i can't download from http://fileurl.me

I call BS on this, the file download site only lets you dowload if you complete a competition (where the entries cost £5 each), or you buy a premium credit.

Also notice how the three comments sound very similar and are posted within 5 mins of the article. Google isnt that fast at indexing.

I think it is someone out to make a quick buck on people looking for root on this device.

I've got in touch with Dan Rosenburg who has rooted other LG phones and he is interested in helping but needs to talk to someone who has the handset, unfortunately I'm still waiting on the delivery of mine at the moment.

PM me if you want his email.

It's definitely a scam,there was a tutorial on the tube a week ago which also pointed to this location and wanted you to participate in a so called "survey" before letting you download anything.
BEWARE!!

Well it got me creating a new e-mail address for spam mails, completing one of the surveys, only to end up looking like a jackass. Completing the survey didn't bring forth any download link.
Before starting the survey I studied the source code of the site, including some .JS files, and couldn't find any sign of code to generate the download link, so I guess I was warned. :)

As far as i know, there is not a root exploid for our LG P880

The only way to get a reliable root function on our device is to develop it here.

I tried several existing methods to do it but with no luck.

I think we need to extract the full rom implement the root function and upload it back to the device or...

Try to develop a update.xxx with or without CWM and use this to root or...

Maybe we can use NVFLASH to reach our goal...

The word is to our LG experts here on the board who already rooted a LG, and give us a direction to go to...

Hopefully we get a breakthrough soon because i realy need to kill some autostarts here... :)
