Root Optimus M+ Root Guide

citric said:
Alrighty, so there've been some nice advances already in this relatively new phone. Here's a small guide to help

Before starting, be sure you have the latest LG drivers. One way to do this is to connect the phone before doing any of this and let your computer do the new hardware found stuff. If that doesn't pop up you should be good.

Or go to the LG Website and download the newest driver

Optional: Download a reboot app to your phone (Quick Boot is what I have.) In my personal experience (I haven't heard anyone else say this) my phone got stuck on the last reboot and I couldn't get the power button to bring up the power down menu. I removed the battery and plugged it back in, booted up the phone and everything was dandy. Having Quick Boot would've made this easier and made me not worry about pulling the battery, though it worked out.

1. Download and unzip the optimusmplus_root_windows.zip file attached below.

2. On your phone, go to Settings > Applications > Development and be sure that USB Debugging is checked.

2. Plug your OM+ into your computer, and unplug any other phones you might have plugged in.

3. Locate the folder you unzipped from step 1, and run run.bat.

4. Sit back and let it do it's thing. Your phone should reboot 3 times. If you're stuck on the reboot after "Cleaning up..." reboot your phone using Quick Boot.

5. Enjoy your rooted phone!

6. If you haven't already, head over to the Bump up your networks speeds thread and boost your data service (if you're noticing really... really slow speeds, like <0.20mbps )

Yes it still works (pretty sure since there haven't been any OS updates). There aren't but a couple, or maybe it was only one, ROM 's for this phone. If you look in the all things root you will find it; something about Optimus Prime maybe. I can't remember. I think most folk that had this phone have moved on, including me. I'm now using the LG Motion 4G.

You are welcome. Yeah, I liked the phone. It was pretty smooth for and 800mhz processor. Aside from root and recovery that the fine folks from the unloved devices group got us, there just wasn't any development on the phone. I moved on 'cause I wanted to get a 4G phone.
 
Okay, so I have tried everything SEVERAL times.

I've even tried to download fixes for the adb.exe, tried running it with admin priviledges on my computer, etc. etc. etc.

IS THIS BECAUSE I HAVE ANDROID 2.3.6? Please help. Muchas Gracias.
 
Thank you SO much for this! I just bought the phone today and the first thing I wanted to do was root it. I love you. I love you...I LOVE YOU.
 
Thank you. I successfully rooted my LG Optimus Plus AS695.
