Hello I'm a Optimus V ROM Developer from AndroidCenteral, have a few post on this website but do not come here much. A friend of mine has this phone and asked me if I can do anything with it, so I've add this phone to my development table.
I took the Rooting Utility for Windows CMD and adapted it for use in Linux (Mostly do to the fact I hate Windows CMD and I'm a Linux user as I build ROM's for the Optimus V from source.
One of the things you well notices is I moved some of the files around placing them in the folders that they should go into.
Download here and unzip the file: and read the READ.md text file for instructions.
Using Terminal
Next run the shell script (NOTE: You may need to run this up to three times and phone well reboot with each attempt).
The root if successful can be checked with the Terminal Emulator by checking for the "# " symbol and the Superuser app well ask you to allow Terminal superuser access after enter the "su" command.
I well be updating this in a few days to also include flashing a custom recovery image, and well have a menu setup as well for easier use.
