As the title implies I live in the cleveland area and am looking to pay someone to root my optimus S. Reply and ill msg my number to talk price if you're up for the task. It is simply something I don't feel knowledgeable enough to do myself.
 
I imagine its not tre. I actually have the cajones to try today. If you can take a look at the thread i just posted. Im having a little problem figuring out how to type my command for where i put the android sdk tools even though im looking right at them lol. I am the rookie of all rookies guys. super new to this but ive studied this stuff like its a bar exam lol.
 
dizzle...I'm in Canton, Ohio. It's really alot simpler now than you think or it used to be. You need a few things.

1. A fully charged phone.
2. Astro file manager
3. gingerbreak.apk

Install astro from the market. Back up your apps, sync your contacts and improtant info stored to your phone.

Place gingerbreak on the root of your sd card(that means not in a folder, but in the main log where all the folders show up.)

Open Astro and install gingerbreak.(Make sure that you have enabled installing 3rd party apps. If you haven't it will prompt you too.)

Run ginbreak and voila!!!

Sorry for not updating this and thanks a million for your guys help.

Just Google "root optimus s" and go to that site, you'll even see my post where Jondevere offered to help the day it got done. But he knows Drew Walton who is one of a few major brains behind the process. But it can be done and I don't have any bugs, the phone is better than it was. The first step would be rooting, and I can say for a fact help is out there. Once again I gotta say THANK YOU to those who helped me. Plus there's a site for
