How exactly do you do that and I'll do it right now.

well for each device its different.

adb shell ls -l /dev/block > blocks.txt

and then pastebin that txt file and thatw ill show the partitions. from there we need to use dd to copy em so use busybox installer from teh market and then begin as follows

adb shell "dd if=/dev/block/mmcblk0p1 of=/sdcard/mmcblk0p1"
adb shell "dd if=/dev/block/mmcblk0p2 of=/sdcard/mmcblk0p2"
adb shell "dd if=/dev/block/mmcblk0p3 of=/sdcard/mmcblk0p3"
and so on and so forth...

the optimus m+ had recovery on mmcblk0p13 so grabbing blocks mmcblk0p1 through mmcblk0p16 is prolly a safe bet :)

when youve pulled them list off teh sizes for em and we can prolly figure out which ones are which :)
 
umm, i think i may have bricked my phone. I tried placing the Holo Launcher HD APK in the system apps, and i restarted the phone, and i get an error saying "Morningcall cannot be verified" Lg Security Error. =(

o.o y would you put that in your system/apps:confused:

I highly recommend do not do nothing else to your device besides removing bloatware until we have an official recovery.

well luckily thanks to sammy we have an unbrick method
 
- First of all make sure you got the motions drivers all installed and the phone is in usb debugging.
- Download these.
*the rooting folder (o4xr)- http://forum.xda-developers.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=1297942&d=1346603576
*the "SystemBackupTest.apk" - http://forum.xda-developers.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=1245330&d=1344276357

- Put the apk "SystemBackupTest" in your sd card and install it.
- Open the apk called "SystemBackupTest" it should show a screen with "Hello world" then restart your phone.
- Plug your phone to your pc and make sure its in "charge only" mode.
- Open the "o4xr" folder and double click the file named root.
- It might fail, just run again after phone reboots.
*as long as it pushed three files to your phone you should be good.
- Your phone is rooted with SuperSu.

Any questions just pm, HereticSins.
 
If you are having trouble getting to the right foldet using cd just open the folder you want and hold shift and then right click on the mouse and select open command prompt
 
Guys, it's just a regular batch script, like for the connect. You don't have to type anything in cmd prompt. Just extract the ox4r zip to your desktop, open the folder and double click the root script labeled... You guessed it, root. ;)
