Hello guys, i was thinking to root for a while but beacause am not really good on it, i decide to wait, untill i see this http://androidforums.com/optimus-m-all-things-root/475664-root-kit-optimus-m-2-2-2-dummy-proof-3-click.html
So i decide to do it after all is dummy proof rigth?
After finish, the video says i have to do the home+v down+ power and i goint to have the recovery menu, ok i did that, but instead to get it i get the fastgboot mode menu. I did some research and i found this http://androidforums.com/optimus-m-all-things-root/382525-guide-get-out-fastboot-mode.html i have some promems installing the driver for android device untill i install win vista ( i hate it) because on xp just do not work, intall the driver with no problems, and proceed with this
2) Usage

Now that you have the Fastboot Drivers Installed. Lets continue with all the commands.

Open Cmd and type or copy and paste these commands ONE BY ONE:

Code:
cd C:\Fastboot\android-sdk-windows\tools
fastboot erase boot
fastboot erase recovery
fastboot erase system

Now we need to flash recovery via Fastboot. Type or copy and paste this command on Cmd:

Code:
fastboot flash recovery C:\Fastboot\Recovery\recovery-RA-optm-2.2.1-GNM.img

Then type this on Cmd to reboot to recovery:
Code:
fastboot reboot

Now your phone will reboot to recovery. All you have to do now is to install a rom and your phone will be back to normal.

Hope this helps.
i get the recovery menu, but when i try to back up it says that have problems, and send me back to fastmode after reboot.
I try to do everything againg but i just go back to fastboot mode.
P.D. when i do fastboot erase system i get this
skipped @2196
cannot erase @2196 (bad block?)
skipped @2197
cannot erase @2197 (bad block?)

So that means my phone is brick? :(
 
unplug USB before it reboots, that's how I got out when it was stuck
make sure u have already "fastboot erase recovery" and then flash the new recovery, make sure u have the recovery image in that location, or make sure u type/paste the correct location
 
try pressing volume down and home key and power button while u are powered down, if you are still stuck then you must unbrick and then follow MEID fix (both are found in my signature). It is very time consuming, but be patient and you can unbrick your phone, don't rush through, read everything twice. If you get any problems make sure you read through posts to see if anyone else has addressed the issue.
