Root Z4root on Optimus M Work?

Will Z4root root the lg optimus m? i tried it twice and it will not root idk if its a bad Z4root i have or what idk

Depends on if you have Android 2.2 or 2.2.1 (or newer).

Straight 2.2 will root with Z4. Newer versions you have to use a different rooter -- like 1-click Gingerbreak -- as the updates in the newer version of Android block that Z4 rooting hole.

Your printed specs will say "2.2" but ignore those. To check which version of Android you REALLY have installed, you have to go to the settings/about phone/Android version.

Gingerbreak reportedly works well on 2.2.1. See link above.
 
bingo! you rock!

I bought my optimus M last night with 2.2.1 and was hitting issue after issue (unlike with my ascend) and this worked fast the first time. JUST REMEMBER TO RESTART AS DIRECTED IF YOU HAVE TRIED OTHER METHODS AS I DID.

THANKS!!
