Root Bought Metro Connect yesterday - TRYing to ROOT

[connect33]

I just purchased the Connect LG and I would like to root, but I have had no success with any of the methods listed in "all things root."

Does anyone have a method that works currently on a fresh phone?

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

no sh*t, the L9, Spirit, and Motion are all much better phones.

Well, I can't return it unfortunately, because I got it through an insurance claim. I am stuck with it. I wish I would have gotten the motion instead of claiming my insurance.

Is there any way to root it currently? If there isn't, is there anyone working on a new root method for it?

I am prepared to do quite a bit of footwork to get it done, so if there is a method out there that you currently know of, no matter how complex, I am game.

I imagine nothing in the root sticky is working because you're on vv5

Currently the only custom rom built with a vv5 base is Ldrifta's Number 2 v2.0

but bluetooth doesn't work(everything else does, and I higly recomend this rom); so you may want to root, debloat,and enjoy your stock/rooted rom. All in all it's a pretty decent phone(not that you couldn't get a better one for the same or less $) especially with the latest firmware and the Metro/T-Mobile merger.

And I may be wrong, but I don't believe any of the other rom's or kernels in the all thing root sticky will "work" with vv5 firmware.
