i was under this impression this was the manual way, but i solved the problem regardless: insert an active SIM and it works as it should. interesting that that is a requirement, but this thing is impossible to root when unactivated.

Has anyone tried this method? Is there anything dangerous about s1c?

I am tempted to fly to Omaha and ask Stetson if he will root my phone for me in exchange for a nice bottle of wine or dinner out.

I'm a stay-at-home mom with a baby, so my husband would be footing the bill. He's listened to me bitch about the Bing situation so much, at this point I doubt he'd mind. Your wife probably knows a trustworthy sitter.

I have been experiencing this exact same issue. When I go into the shell I get the $ and not the #. I tried restarting from the top of the instructions, but unfortunately it still does not work.
thoughts?
Edit: Just to clarify, this is what I am getting: C:\Program Files\Android\android-sdk\platform-tools>adb shell
$ su
su
su: permission denied
When I try the adb usb and then adb root, it says that adb can't run as root in production version

Lucky you, Ufkal. I've tried probably more than 10 times and still could not get past the $ the problem (kept getting permission denied when entering "su"). I also saw several postings of the same problem with no further help. Any suggestion, please !

Hey guys. I am new to rooting. I have what may be a silly question. When you say "make sure you have your 4G activated" does that mean I have to have a 4G connection at the time? Or does it just mean make sure I haven't somehow disabled it in the settings? If I live in a place where I don't get 4G connection, can I still root without problems?
Guys, complete newby here. I have been researching rooting my phone since I bought it over a year ago. Well, today I had a little free time so thought I would go for it. I have the phone on de-bug, its on internet connection, but can not get the prompt to work... have tried many times!! Can someone give me a boost?

I am attempting to root a used LG VS910 Revolution which I recently acquired, mainly as an experimentation exercise and introduction for me to rooting and learning more about the Android system.
Are the links in the article to the RATC binary and the SU binary still valid as I cannot locate them. The links just take me to what looks like a front page and not directly to the files.
