Root [GUIDE] Howto Root LG Motion 4G

OptimusSlime said:
Well the root works. Thanks! Now I am working on the unbrick. Used Titanium Backup and removed too much I guess... Thought brick was hopeless til I came on here and found unbrick guide. Fyi I removed google music/movies/ (books?) Also removed something oddly titled "Verizon hidden menu" Damn I LOVE THIS PHONE! I will mess with removing dif apps today and see what causes the brick... "Security Error" "Morningcall Cannot Be Verified".... Looks to me less like a valid "brick", more like LG software seeing us playing with what they don't want us to... Thanks again AF Devs / Root Godz

:rofl: I could spend a whole day deleting apps and making a list and checking it twice, gonna find apps that are naughty or nice :p
 
Went to sleep no root. Check it today root available and everybody and their mom already rooted lol mine rooted just fine. :thumbup:
 
hey guys am I doing something wrong?
I ran root.bat from o4xr folder and it just
opened a cmd window that says:
"daemon not running, starting it now on port 5037"
"daemon started successfully"

and it stays like that, doesn't do anything else
i'm on "charge only" mode connected to pc
help?

Make sure you got the drivers installed correctly.
 
So when I rebooted the phone and changed to another USB port on my PC,
Windows 7 recognized it as USB Input Device
then I ran root.bat again but still same thing
Is that what it's supposed to recognize it as? "USB Input Device"?
Going to try a few more times

make sure all drivers install before running root.bat
 
First of all i'd like to extend a thanks to the people who got this done, you guys are gods, you should be praised.

NOW.


I've downloaded the APK an the Folder with the root, put the root folder in the C Directory and all that, I'm currently in CMD and got the folder open but when I put in Root (No quotes) it tells me it's not a recognized file or command, am I doing something wrong?

make sure usb debugging is checked and unknown sources is checked
 
So now the real questions is whether you can utilize Hotspotting through the tether apps, regardless of whether you have the feature added to your account or not..which is my whole reason for rooting any phone I get..

I had this same experience. Somehow when using the command prompt under Windows the files don't show up, if you do a "dir" command when you're in that folder it won't show any files. Yet they appear in Windows just fine and you can run root.bat by double-clicking it.

Yea it was annoying, but thanks to the advice Up here I got passed it. Just clicked the root file directly on the computer and it handled the rest.

NOW I have to figure out how to tether my phone without paying for it, which SHOULD be possible through rooting but for some reason it's not working.
