2.2.1 Update

Code: 
adb push rageagainstthecage-arm5.bin /data/local/tmp/
 
adb shell 
 
chmod 0755 /data/local/tmp/rageagainstthecage-arm5.bin
 
cd /data/local/tmp
 
./rageagainstthecage-arm5.bin
now you may have to wait several minutes here. Once you get back to command prompt and rage is done go to next step. IF it hangs after a few minutes (more than 3-5 minutes) then do adb kill-server from another (second) command prompt window
Code: 
adb shell
 
Now you should have a # prompt and you have root.[/QUOTE]

I get to this part and when I type adb shell it returns "error: device not found" so I cannot continue. I get no # prompt and adb fails to see my phone.

What seem to be happening here is that after rage runs and gets back to the $ prompt, the phone pops up a notification that usb degging is enabled again, but i'm thinking something stops it from connecting, like it's falsely reporting that it's connected when it really isn't. This is why I get device not found. adb will only recognize the phone after it's been rebooted which of course overwites anything that rage has done. 

Other programs such as LGNPST and CDMAworkshop both see my device after running rage but then again they don't rely on usb debugging to be enabled. I really think LG added something to the Optimus-M 2.2.1 update to block any attempts at all to root the device.

My G1's recovery build is a 1.6 and my phone has a 2.2.1 rom. What a jump! Lol

Do you loose your custom recovery by upgrading? If not can you give me a complete nan backup, p-please...
 
It'd be the same as when I downgraded back to 2.2 the last time I was on 2.2.1. It overwrite everything from the previous version.

The original firmware always comes with everything including recovery and bootloader. As an update usually don't, unless it's a major platform upgrade, per say a 2.3 update...
 
There are no OTA updates on the Optimus M. So it must be done with the LG Software Updater. It seems updating this way is the same as if I were to update using a Masterbin along with LGNPST. It overwrites all .img files on the phone.
 
Going back to 2.2 now. Everything works on that and I just want my phone to work.

As far as I can see there is no possible way to root this phone once it's on 2.2.1, so making a nandroid backup for this is not going to happen.

In one day we got a custom recovery, OC kernel and a stragefright enabler for 2.2, so why don't we just try to build off that? How about HW accel? That sounds like a good thing to add.

With me being the only one that's even seemed to bother with testing any of this stuff it's becoming an obsession and interfering with my personal life.

Unless someone can come up with a definitive way of rooting The Optimus M while it's on 2.2.1 FRG83, I gotta say the nay no my brothas.

Yes I know it's possible on phones X,Y and Z....I've been through every forum I could find on google dealing with rooting 2.2.1 and this isn't one of those phones.

andyo70,

Thank you for testing your phone. You obviously know more about this than most of us. Yeah for some of this I'm donating money but otherwise just watching with intense interest.

Seriously, rooting my phone and my wife's phone was tense enough. ;) While I've built computers from scratch, I've never messed with Linux and this is my first smartphone. So, I don't want to brick it. I sincerely thank you for your fearlessness.

Now when we get a ROM with radio receiver function or a ROM with Gingerbread -- and clear instructions list...
