Root Help Root Optimus M 2.2.2!!!

After several hours of reading through all these threads and using the suggested method for 2.2.2 in the above thread, I still can't get it to root.

It never "finds Froyo", but says 11 files pushed, 0 skipped.

Running zerg exploit...
error: closed

I guess I'm giving up at this point, unless I see a response to this that can help.
 
ok guys, I tried everything, enable debugging, disabling sotarage, format my microsd, i tried in two three different computers, and nothing. Usb drivers work fine. This patch doesn't root my phone, but instead it creates a root folder in microsd with files that i cannot open because something is missing, the only file that i can open is superuser older version.

I am totally sure that this bat patch was not made for Optimus M
(says S in the description) and it can wipe all your phone if you try to go the recovery. (already some users reported it). So it works for only some OM versions. Several have my same problem.

I think this patch is unsafe for people who doesn't know what they are doing, so be careful with it. I don't recommend you to use it.

Here is my log:

...Running Zerg exploit...
Unable to chmod zergrush: No such file or directory
/data/local/tmp/install-zerg-auto.sh: ./zergrush: not found

---- STATUS of ZERG on PREVIOUS few lines ----

---- END LOG ----

Check the STATUS of ZERG above, this exploit depends on a
condition which doesn't always hit

If you see

[-] Zerglings did not leave interesting stuff

Then the exploit did NOT work during this pass

After reboot you'll need to RE-RUN the root install script
It may take SEVERAL attempts before the condition hits

If you see

[+] Rush did it ! It's a GG, man !

Then the exploit was SUCCESSFUL. Script will reboot, then you are DONE!

Keep in mind, should you CHOOSE to run "su", you will be prompted
for permission on the phone's screen during the first run. If you
do not ALLOW this prompt you will get a "permission denied" error

turn ON phone
make sure you have EXITED the lock screen
run "su" from "adb shell"
accept the prompt on the phone's screen asking for root permissions

It is NOT required to run "su". You ARE ROOTED regardless.

Getting ready to reboot...

Press any key to continue . . .


-------------------------------------------------------------------------

You can tell that the Zerg exploit didn't work out: "/data/local/tmp/sh: not found"


The problem is your security software. I had the same problem and realized that when I ran the program kaspersky was stopping that part or something, so I stopped kaspersky for 5 min, redownloaded the rookit, and did it again, and it worked.

I know this is old but if anyone still has this phone (other than me), this might help.
