Root Cyanogen Mod 10 or 4.1 Update

If anyone cares, I already have a custom kernel compiled waiting on my order to come in. (Building a jtag for it)..

I think I can get pictures of LG's connections of their jtag, not sure if it is a jtag or not, let me get you some links.
 
Here (really not sure what device that phone is connected too..):

With a J-Tag, you have hardware control over the device. Allowing you to read the serial data passing over the processor die. It also allows for flashing of any data.
 
Jtag opens up the serial bus on the processor. you can see any bit of code that passes across the processor die. And no there is no numbering. You can see system calls, and the system stack of current operations, but there is nothing telling you what is what unless you look to see where things are defined.

Ergo, finding the bootloader checksum code is not like (oh hey, there it is).
It would be more like making a system dump of the startup. which is all the bootup information. Then you wade through the dump file like wading through a pool of shit looking for a single needle.

It would all depend on the situation. like if you had a metal detector.

What you have there is a USB-to-Uart device. A serializer device that allows direct processor access from both devices.. the usb half is emulating the processor on it's side..

which is what the box there is for..
