I had to factory reset my phone. It was rooted before.

I first used the method that worked last time
Optimus Elite root with an apk

I also tried
[Exclusive] How To Root The Virgin Mobile LG Optimus Elite

I need the MSL Number


I tried

Get stuck on
Dial ##DATA# click on Data Profile then edit. Enter in your SPC twice so that it reboots. It should reboot into charging rather than resetting
because I dont know the SPC number nothing shows you how to get it.


I tried this and it goes through all the motions showing it works but it doesnt.

Any ideas? THe day is ending and I got nothing else done I need to get done today because of this rooting problem. THanks.

Try re installing "Superuser" or "Super SU"...That worked for me

Superuser by clockworkmod before and after the reset say the binary is out of date and it cannot update it with either option. I am trying the other one.

Nope it wants to install stuff too and wont. I tried opening Titanuim backup and no go no root.

I have a root check app to check and it says it isn't. (Poot) suggested it
 
Well factory reset won't mess with root it shouldn't. It merely deleted your Superuser app. Did you have SuperSU or Superuser before you factory reset??

Remove both of them. Reboot phone. Then try reusing the Poot apk method and try it a few times
