Root Click rooting your LG Optimus Elite

it says :
error: device not found
-waiting for device-
Though phone is plugged in
Also service program has stopped unexpectedly
 
Is the boot loop that everyone is talking about occurs as a result of this root program or after as their own fault of deleting needed files?
I just wanna make sure because i've broken one phone and i cant do it again....
 
The bootloop that they WERE talking about was a result of the program not being compatible on some systems. Several people were generous enough to teamview me, and the problem was solved in the latest update(the one that's all grey).

However, kicking the phone into a bootloop is mandatory for the root to work. If you don't bootloop it for a bit, then you can't root it with this method.

And as far as I know, nobody has bricked their phone with this method. Its a fixable method.
 
So Hashtag, you were saying the program automatically puts the phone into a bootloop to actually root it. I know this might sound like a dumb question (Im a newb) but the program reboots your phone back to normal, out of the bootloop, and back to normal but just rooted right??

Yes. In a jist, here is what the program does...

1st-Puts some important files onto your phone
2nd-Starts an app on your phone to enable DIAG mode
3rd-Runs an exploit and kicks your phone into bootloop
4th-While it's in bootloop the program changes some permissions on your phone to give the user administrative rights
5th-Kicks your phone out of bootloop, and restarts your phone to a rooted state.
 
For the first step can u just load the apks manually instead of running step one? Because step run never seems to work for me:/

Yes. Although the most likely problem for it not working is that you don't have your adb files in the right spot(C:\android\platform-tools). You'll need to cd to the lgoeExploit if you go the manual way.

Here are the commands for manual step one...

adb shell

$ rm /data/img/image.bmp

$ ln -s /data/local.prop /data/img/image.bmp

$ ls -l /data/img

$ exit

adb install -r Ministro2.apk

adb install -r LG_OE_DiagMode-debug-unaligned.apk

adb push su /data/local/tmp/su

adb shell am start -n org.kde.necessitas.example.LG_OE_DiagMode/org.kde.necessitas.origo.QtActivity

I don't have root but I never got a bootloop, is that a reason of why I don't have root?
 
This is what the program says when i start step 1


C:\android\platform-tools\platform-tools\Click Root>cd C:\android\platform-tools

Usually the program does it so that you don't notice the bootloop. That's most likely isn't the reason you aren't rooted. What does the program tell you at step 3?

Okay, that code means that you don't have your adb files located in the correct place. Find where they are(usually something like "C:\android-sdk\platform-tools"), and then rename the folders until the adb file is located at "C:\android\platform-tools". Then you should be good.
 
i moved it around to make it android-->platform-tools now here's the script

C:\android\platform-tools\Click Root>cd C:\android\platform-tools

C:\android\platform-tools>adb wait-for-device shell
* daemon not running. starting it now on port 5037 *
* daemon started successfully *
$ rm /data/img/image.bmp

$ ln -s /data/local.prop /data/img/image.bmp

$ ls -l /data/img

lrwxrwxrwx shell shell 2012-08-12 16:49 image.bmp -> /data/local.prop

$ exit

Good, that's what it is supposed to look like.
 
I think I'm just going to make a YouTube video showing how to do it. That would probably answer a lot of questions.
 
Hey Guys! Hashtag just rooted my phone over team viewer. It only took about 5 minutes. He defiantly knows what he's doing. Hes a screen shot I took during the process, he did all the work I just sat there ;) http://i.imgur.com/VUHA2.jpg
And thanks again Hashtag!
 
Hashtag I finally got root using your one click method! :D The problem was that i put all my files in android/platform-tools/LG OE Click Root v2.0 folder and they all wernt suppose to be in there. So what i did was i copyed "SU" ministro.apk and LG_OE_DiagMode-debug-unaligned.apk to platform-tools, then i ran the one click and the whole process went smooth. If anyone has questions ill try to explain my whole process in detail. Thanks hashtag and people that helped me

Step 1-Download file, and extract the .zip to "C:\android\platform-tools"
Step 2-Run the Program. It's called LG Click root.

YOUR ADB FILES MUST BE LOCATED AT "C:\android\platform-tools"

For newbies, if you do not know what adb files are, or if you do not have a folder called "Platform-tools", then you need to do that. Some googleing around for adb will fix you up real quick.

Credits go out to jcase and giantpune for their root discoveries(btw, I haven't heard from jcase in forever, did he leave or something?)

If anybody has any problems with it, please post back here.

EDIT: Alright, I got access to my computer again, and I've redone the click root. No more switching between menus, or any of that stuff. If you do it correctly, you only have to click 3 buttons. I've set timers on the actions, so the commands will time themselves automatically. There is a progress bar so you know if it's working. And I fixed the freezing. Thanks to those who let me know about it.
