Root LG Eve Driver (rooting)

[illm4tic]

In Windows, you should hear the beep on a connected device and the LG drivers should find it OK. In Windows, open up Device Manager and you should see 2 devices with yellow exclamation marks beside it and the description "LG USB Modem" (I'm going from memory here, so that may not be 100% accurate).

Right click on the 2nd one, click "Update driver software", click "Browse my computer for driver software" then click "Let me pick from a list..." You should see "Android Phone" listed. Double click this and you should see a list of 3 options. Click on "Android ADB Interface" and click "Next". You'll probably see an "Update driver warning" box, so just click "Yes" to install it anyway.

I see the 2 devices with the exclamation marks saying "LG USB Modem" but I don't see "Android Phone" listed.
I been trying to root this phone for weeks now; going back to steps to see what I have been doing wrong. I'm starting to get frustrated uninstalling and reinstalling the drivers and SDK.

HELP!

Moved your thread to the LG All things root section.
There should be members who can help you here.

If you don't see the "Android Phone" listed, just choose "All Devices" and then Next. Now you should see a "Have Disk" button, click this and browse to android_winusb.inf in SDK\usb_driver folder and hit OK. Now you should see a list of 3 options. Click on "Android ADB Interface" and click "Next". You'll probably see an "Update driver warning" box, so just click "Yes" to install it anyway.

Before you do this, you may need to open the android_winusb.inf (will open in notepad) and add the following info before HTC Dream (however some have reported not needing this step):

;LG eve
%SingleAdbInterface% = USB_Install, USB\VID_18D1&PID_D00D
%CompositeAdbInterface% = USB_Install, USB\VID_18D1&PID_D00D&MI_01
