We need more info. What version of mui, how did you flash it, what recovery are you using? Was it doing from the first boot or did you change or add anything after flashing? Did you flash any themes? The more info you can give, the better we can help.
 
here is wht happen i had it rooted with gingerbreak 1.20 with stock rom i did not like the stock rom so i flash the clockwork recovery from romanger but right after i did tht it got stuck on clockwork recovery would not pass it at all. so then i flashed the recovery over to Xionia_CWMA_12518.4_VM_Recovery and then did the cm7 rom from xda i had it working for about 5 months but just wanted to change it up so i flashed rom signed_ICSandwich2.3.7_ThaUnknownArtist_01092012 it was the best one yet but i just was thinking about doing the miui rom from xda there is only one. and i did but now i have no recovery so i can flash back ics so im not sure i dont have the ov on me will post up all the phone rom info and phone info tonight

sorry im new to this..
 
summitone: Download a terminal emulator. Open it up and type in su then hit the enter key. If you see a # your still rooted. If you see a $ then your not.
If your still rooted try using the Bob Zohme modified CWMod recovery (VM670NH_recovery.img). This works the best for all the CM-7 and CM-9 ROM's.
If your not rooted then your going to need to use the Gingerbreak.apk, it's now going to take around 5-10 tries though.

i have no root :( i tryed Gingerbreak.apk 1.1, 1.2, 1.0 all night and will not take wht can i do now to get root back?
 
If your phone started out with android version 2.2.1 then you can use SuperOneClick version 1.6.3 and push su and Busybox with shell commands from a command prompt on your PC. Let me know if you would like to try this and I'll set you up with everything you need. And walk you through it.

yep my ov was 2.2.1 if u can set up and have a walk through + links to the downloads. ill give it a try
 
I'm having a problem finding a good SuperOneClick v1.6.3 download. I'll need to do some more research, be patient. Will have found, tested/double checked everything by tomorrow evening.
 
Andy, if you want it, I think i still have a copy of mmarz Romtools for rooting, installing recovery, roms, and boot animations for the original 2.2.1. It includes the 1.6.3 version of SuperOneClick. Send me a pm and I'll see if I can locate it.

Edit: I don't have it on my laptop, it's on the home pc. Gonna have to wait for a couple of weeks for me get home, then I can send it to you.
 
Duh. I forgot all about ROMTools having 1.6.3. I know right where to get it (the All Things Root Guide sticky).
Thanks for the kick in the rear. I need to get some sleep but will compile everything in the morning.

Thanks again riggerman1
 
A good SuperOneClick v1.6.3 download cannot be found anywhere. A good ROMTools download cannot be found anywhere.

You will have to try using the SuperOneClick 2.3.3 with the psneuter exploit instead of auto mode. You want to use the Shell Root option to see if you can establish a temporary root as this is what you will need to do before pushing su and Busybox

I have to check out the su binaries provided. There are two in the 2.3.3. I need to see which one to push with shell commands or figure out where you can download a older know su and Busybox file to push that will work on the V.

Brain fried from running into dead ends. Will get back with everything when possible
 
hey andy, what about useing adb?? i got it all up and working adb tht is but cant get the adb to see the ov..?? it does see my htc wildfire s tho so i know adb works. my ov miui rom, i have usb debugging is on but really i dont think it works :/ so is there a way to not to have it on??
 
Not a problem I'm really familiar with this.
I'm going to open it up to double check and make sure I get everything right before I post the procedure for Shell Root option and pushing su and Busybox( the only way this will work on the V).

Assuming you installed the drivers then you need to download the SuperOneClick v1.6.3. Using 7zip you want to extract it to itself, which will create it's own folder with the extracted contents in it. You can use what ever method you want that puts all the extracted items into one folder, but this is important.
Then download this Android Forums at AndroidCentral.com This is from RevolutionRed over at Android Central. Extract it and replace the busybox and the two su from the SuperOneClick folder with the busybox and su from this folder.

Turn on your phone and make sure you have USB debugging enabled. Do not allow USB mass storage when plugged into PC.

Open up the SuperOneClick folder and click on the Android Guy. This will open up the exploit.
Make sure psneuter is selected in the upper right hand corner.
You must not select the Root option. This could mess up your phone even more.
Select the Shell Root option, this might take a few tries but once a window appears that say's your phone has a temp root, do not, I repeat, do not close this or any other window that the exploit has generated.

Now navigate to your SDK/platform-tools folder and open up a command prompt by right clicking on a blank part of the folder, and selecting to open up a command prompt.

After each line of code hit the enter key,The red lines are where the spaces should go do not type them in. Type in this:
adb_shell (you should now have a #. If you have $ something is not right)
mount_-o_remount,rw_-t_yaffs2_/system_/system
exit
adb_push_su_/system/bin
adb_push_busybox_/system/bin
adb_shell
cd_system/bin
chmod_4755_su
chmod_555_busybox
exit
adb_reboot

Your phone should reboot into the system.

You will need to go to the market and Download the Superuser app.
At some point the su binaries should update, might take it a couple of days, but you will see it update.

Hopefully this has all worked without a snag. If you get any let me know.
Download a terminal emulator from the market and type in: su
If you get a # you are good.

EDIT: If you had Busybox installed before it should still be installed. Use your file manager to go to the location you had it installed before (normally it will be in the /system/xbin if installed with a Busybox installer). If it is still there then you can disregard the Busybox part of the code.
 
Don't give up so easy. Tell me what you did, and what it showed.
How many times did you try the exploit?
You could try the SuperOneClick v 2.3.3 and do the same thing with it as you did with the 1.6.3. If you can't get a temp root with it, you might have to wait for someone to figure out a workaround. LG will straighten everything out at your cost. $150.00-$45.00
 
ok im going to just do i vid ill post link to youtube tonight when i can..

call me nut's but i called vm and they said if theres no root they do not care about if its rom'ed or not soo i got a new one comeing from vm so we will see.. still would like to work this out with the miui ov..
 
Check to see what the new phones OS is first thing. I can help you get any ROM and the proper recovery for said ROM on your phone. The 2.2.2 OS has specific restrictions on what ROM and Recovery you can put on it because some cause a BLACK SCREEN in the recovery or the ROM.

If the New Phone has the ZV9 update you will have to follow JerryScript's workaround for getting Root.
If not the the Gingerbreak.apk will do the job.
