can someone help us root the venture pls

you guys should check whether or not the phone can use adb while just being booted into the phones recovery menu. being that the device is booted at such a basic level,you may be able to run a few of those exploits you've already tried,but have some success. with it being in recovery mode,some of the things that stop the exploits from working may not be running as background processes. just a guess. couldnt hurt to try.

Yeah this is worth a try. I'm pretty sure I got advanced working in recovery. Of course the shell wasn't root but adb worked.

What kind of exploit does that poot root use?

The poot exploit is limited by a few things. First, it is not in the base Android code from google. The bug was added in later by a company who then passed out their modified Android to companies like LG, HTC, Samsung. Second, just because the kernel source contains the buggy code doesn't mean that the code is being used. And even if the buggy code is being used, it may not be accessible to all the different user-level apps.

It just happened that on the Optimus Elite, they used a configuration that exposed the buggy code to all the user-level apps and we could take advantage of it.
