I take no credit for any of this, all thanks go to jcase, WhisperPntr, and others. Please pm me if you contributed to the rooting so I can give credit. I also only take responsibility if this works 100% and successfully roots your phone and causes ZERO problems. Otherwise, I’m not responsible.
This guide is simply a more in depth guide taken straight from the guide jcase and WhisperPntr have made, but some people like myself have no clue how to use several of the things that the guide sort of glosses over and assumes you know the LGNPST program. I am writing this guide based off my Windows Home Edition x64 OS, so sorry if there is something a little different on Mac, Linux, etc. I have no experience with those OS. I will try to update this guide once feedback is given.
You will need to have your 6 digit MSL before starting the root process. The easiest way to obtain this is by calling Virgin Mobile and telling them you have gotten an error 67 on your phone. They will walk you through a simple process that took me about 30 minutes on the phone to complete. Thanks to LeslieAnn for pointing this method out. If you’re hardcore and want to do it the hard way, there is a guide to obtaining your MSL on your own here.
OK! Let's get started!
