Root Noob problem with ginger break.

[Nilzar]

Ok,

Quick question Im trying to root my optimus M with 2.2.1, I found ginger break on this forum http://androidforums.com/optimus-m-all-things-root/336196-1-click-root-optimus-m-gingerbreak.html

In the thread it said

"- The APK must be installed to device, NOT SD card"

I tryed to copy the apk somwhere on my device but everywhere I tryed with root explorer it says its read only. I know this is a simple fix and im just over looking something but I havn't had any coffee this morning and need to go to work.

Thanks,

Nilzar

Tap the Mount R/W radio button in Root Explorer and it will change to Mount R/O.
Now you can do whatever you like, just be careful or you may find yourself accidentally deleting something important.

I rooted two LG MS690's prior to the one click option, so I haven't experimented with gingerbreak but, I would assume you should be able to put it on you sdcard and navigate to it with Root Explorer, tap on it and choose install.

I believe they mean don't use a mover to force it to install on the SD. Once you install it, leave it on the Phone and do not move it to SD.

Well I could not hit the R/W raido button on the explorer cause it only shows up when the phone is rooted, I just installed it and ran it and bam I got a rooted phone now, Now i have to find tether, the whole reason why I wanted to root my phone, I guess theirs a bunch more shit I can do now not just tether, First thing Im changeing the stupid metro chime that plays when I turn on my phone.
