Root [OUTDATED] Root 2.2.1 and get Data WORKING!!!

[wheninrome420]

if you have 2.2.1 now download 4shared...and get an app called gingerbreak.its a one click root

So I don't need to do any of the stuff afterwards? How do I get into 4shared? I still have no service on my phone :/

I do have the z4root and Root Explorer apps on my phone , should I do that instead and will I get my service back?

EVERYONE USING THIS METHOD AND ROM WILL NOT GET SERVICE YOU DO NOT WANT NOR NEED THIS WAY ANYMORE THERE ARE SO MANY EXTRA STEPS INVOLVED WITH THIS ITS NOT WORTH USING ANYMORE.

IF YOU USED THIS AND HAVE NO SERVICE THE EASIEST WAY TO GET SERVICE BACK IS TO DOWNLOAD AND PUT ON THE TRUE STOCK 2.2.1 ROM
OPTIMUS M STOCK ROM.7z
THIS IS ZIPPED SO YOU WILL NEED TO UNZIP IT.

Dood it's futile posting that here. People are bricking their phone because they are too ****ing lazy to read. I really can't stand the **** that it'll take me 5 whole minutes to read that shit attitude, but sadly thats what people do.

Lazy bastards need to start reading if they want to stop bricking phones. The only way to tell them this would be to make a new post and get to the point in less than 10 words... lol

you need to run lgnpst though a computer with the phone connected.

 

[BrandonOptimus]

The info is pretty easy to get, it's just that people get confused easily on what they do. I had to read it over for about 5 hours or so. Then I got enough courage to unbrick it, and I was pretty lucky to get back my service. I should go tell the people at clockwork to put a message when you start it up that says: "DO NOT USE ON LG OPTIMUS M! YOU WILL RESORT TO GOING ON TO ANDROIDFORUMS" xD

thank you sir! one more q, when i download the lg files, eveything is through the computer right? when is the part that i will start using the phone from the instruction? or is it all through the computer?

 

[testman531]

[new optimus]

You will use the gingerbreak apk on the phone.

 

[Sppookkyy]

This thread is an older/more complicated option for rooting an LG Optimus M with version 2.2.1

Please be advised that a quicker/easier option is available and highly recommended.

Easily Root your Optimus M 1-click Root Optimus m With Gingerbreak
Then Install Custom Recovery Finally Custom Recovery for 2.2.1 stock phones !!!!!!

If you put this rom on you will not have service, use

[pmb116]

So lazy. Obviously not reading properly. You wont have service until you instal custom recovery. Please Read Everything carefully!!! Twice!!!

you have to extract it with your anti-virus off. And also, when i use it, i turn off my anti-virus. It works fine for me and it doesn't put a virus on your computer, i made sure to check that. So if you still have the downloaded zip just re-extract it with anti-virus off.

Hi I'm JEFII, a noob on AndroidForums but I do have enough knowledge of android to not be a noob in the android world. I have a problem though, I'm trying to downgrade my lg opt m 2.2.2 because I can't be rooted so far as we all know but I can't get past the step where you register the MS690.dll file onto the reggie.exe file. Every time I attempt this I recieve a pop-up window displaying "HRESULT==0x80020009 Exception occurred." May anybody help me out? I don't know what I'm doing wrong.

Hey joneidy,
Thanks for the post. I've been trying to root my Metro PCS LG-MS690 M 2.2.2 phone for months and have not succeeded yet. I followed all the steps you have given us, but when I click START the LGNPST program asks me for my phone's "SPC". I don't know what that is and was hoping you or someone in the thread could help me out. It would be a nice way to start 2012 haha
Take care everyone,

I would not use the method in this thread, that was the old way and that rom is not working out of the box. use this instead

Now on to specifics. for the problem reg the dll you need to turn off user account control
it will stop the dll reg.
go to start menu control panel user accounts UAC slide the slider to the bottom restart the computer.
For the spc there are a couple methods the easiest is to go to
android - whiterabbit.org
put in your phone esn and it will give you the metromsl/spc
