[2.1] Simple root instructions for Eclair

Here is a very simple instruction on rooting LG GT540 when Universal Androot doesn't work:
1. Download and extract the attached package.
2. Connect the phone in "USB Debbuging Mode"
3. Doubleclick "root.bat" (extracted from the package)
4. Wait for the console to shut down and the phone to reboot.
The credit for this method goes probably to people from Modaco.
Since this is my first post and i am still not allowed to post links from external servers i won't give any mirrors for unregistered users. Sorry.

Any confirmation that this works?
It sounds just too easy!
Bakuj, you can PM me with link to the modaco forum, I cant find topic with this root method!
Cheers!

Rooted yesturdamy with this, works fine

I rooted my phone yesterday using that method.
I ran each line of code separately though as i had issues running the .bat file

Thanks a lot

Froyo?
I have a TMO Optimus T w/ FROYO. Will this work on it?

You can give it a try. But first look at the name of this forum section. It is for GT540.

I have made a new version which includes both root and app2sd.Named 1 click autorootapp2sd .
You can access the guide at modaco . The file is attached.Turn on usb debugging mode and run autorootapp2sd.bat.

Nice and handy ^^ thanks

ROOT for recovery:
1. Grab this file mediafire.com/?rc8g496og3482dx
2. Update.zip copy directly to an SD card
3. Reset the phone and start the recovery mode
4. Select the option to apply sdcard: update.zip
5. Root been made
Application was added to the package:
root explorer, superuser and busybox

Thanks a lot arekl1988r

but how can i unroot it?
flash the original GT540 ROM with lg software?

Yeah it should work. Also you can try a factory reset (never tested).

Hi Rooting will void my warrenty??

Im trying to root my phone.
I have USB debugging mode on the phone, and i tried running root.bat both as an administrator and a user.
I get stuck here (see attachement)
What have i done wrong?

I can see: device not found, try Turn USB Debugging ON

It is on, i also rebooted the phone.

Ok, so try this way: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=803682

I found out that i cant even connect my phone to LG Pc suite.
USB storage works well, but Suite never finds the phone. I have installed all the drivers from LG.
Whats the next step?

[Q] [Urgent] How to Enter to Recovery mode without Power button

Hello guys,

http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1314781&page=7
whatever,,,, the wifi is not work ! the data(3G) is not work ! the Bluetooth is not work ! so how to enter the recovery mode to return my previous ROM ?!
Help me please!

Any help plzzzzz

just use quick boot but select either recovery or bootloader depending on which option you need

ICS is new enough that I don't know if this will work, but in Gingerbread and lower, you can use adb to do it.
Make sure Settings -> Applications -> Development -> USB Debugging Mode is enabled. Then go to the computer type
Code:
adb reboot recovery

** sorry for my bad english

This is a long and hard procedure, but should work if you are not able to use adb or if you don't find a better solution. You will have to power on your device using the battery trick one time or two:
Pull out the battery.
Copy the passimg.zip to the root of your sdcard.
Power on the n1 with the battery trick. You have to keep the vol- button pressed while booting.
Install the passimg file
Root your phone (oneclickroot is fine).
Reboot with adb or with battery trick.
Install quickboot and rommanager
Install recovery.
Use quickboot to enter in recovery and restore your backup.
Hope this helps

my phone now is 2.1 !
but I cannot cont. cuz tell now the usb does not known my phone !
is there any way to root the phone without usb ? I mean like installing "passimg.zip"

-Upgrade to 2.2 Froyo
-look for a Z4Root QR Code
-Scan the Z4Root QR code using Google Goggles or w/e
-Install it using astro or a file manager app
-look for Z4root tutorials on youtube
-????
-Profit
You don't need the computer at all but for looking up tutorials IF you are confused that is.

You need to install the phone drivers on your PC, than you can use oneclickroot. Reboot, install quickboot, recovery and you are done ;-)

Nexus S and ICS a little problem

Hi all
I did not receive the OTA so I decided to manually update my nexus s (I9020XXK1)
Unfortunately the navigation works only on wi-fi. Although the data navigation is turned on the mobile does not download email etc.
I thought it was a problem with widgetsoid and I disinstalled it but the problem is still there.
I also tried to update the APN via "APN Italiani" but the programs shows the generic message that "he encountered an error"
My question: do you have any idea how to work it out? and also: is there a program similar to widgetsoid for a dummy (me)?
thanks a lot

just flash a customer rom like aosp + (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1397358) -> all works

it would be even worst! I already tried but I'm a dummy and couldn't do it
at home I have a mac and could not get a propor procedure. now (at work) I have a pc but no administrator rights.
if there is an easy way to do it then I will give it a try but I would need a "guide for dummies"

Disable Windows Enabler when its running from a season before with the KDZ-Update-tool! It wouldnt work!
Be sure you have the propper driver instaled and chosed the right options in the comport settings!

With battery on the phone and the phone off, press "VOL-" and connect the phone
to the computer while pressing, you'll be in S/W. (If you have issues due the device
being recognized while in S/W Mode, disconnect from PC, take out the battery and
put it back again on the phone, try again "Vol- & connect to PC", wait a few seconds
for Windows to recognize the device).

Go to "port settings" and select all 16 ports.
View attachment 1784756
Start the upgrade clicking in the yellow arrow on the top/left of the program window.
Three (3) ports will look like comunicating (in the next image you'll see only two cause I'm not really flashing), but
only one is the right one. Two of them will stay stucked in x% and a third port will go higher. Memorize the one that goes higher cause is that one.
In my case, this time was the nr. 3.
View attachment 1784757
Close the program and re-start it. This time, go to "port settings" and select only the port that you memorized,
start the upgrade and you just need to wait for the phone to reboot.
In case of that port fails, choose one of the other two untill you hit the good one.
If you don't see 3 ports, its something wrong and probably this won't work...
Easy
To set manually the port to "1", connect the phone in S/W Mode, open windows "Device Manager",
select “LGE CDMA USB Serial Port”, right click in "properties", connection settings advanced and set it to “com41″
Video added:
(select full screen and 1080p for better resolution)
Report if something doesn't work
This post was edited cause I realise that is not always the first port the right one, sorry...

Does 'adb devices' report your device as offline? If so, you need newer adb binaries. I've created a zip with the newest adb binaries and am hosting it. I'll post a link if you'd like.
Sent from my LG-D415 using Tapatalk

In the PC connection settings theres goto connection type and in the top left corner there is a little button that looks like a download button. Hit that and it will open up on your PC as an install disc that will install the adb drivers and lg mobile support program that'll keep the drivers up to date. Then. Open the android SDK manager and make sure your platform tools are fully updated

For CM:
Go to Settings->About Phone and tap on the Build Number 7 - 8 times. You should see a Toast message popup that says "You're now a developer". Back out of About Phone to Settings. You should see a entry "Developer Options" just above "About Phone".
I haven't been on stock for many many months. If you're running stock it may be different. I honestly don't remember.
