If you followed the directions exactly on a version 4 phone, this should work no problem.

Links to the necessary files are listed at the bottom.
Remember, I am not at fault if you brick your phone, now, proceed.
Connect your phone in charge only mode to install the LG Bootstrapper and drivers, or grab the LG Universal Drivers.
Change your USB Mode to Internet Connection
Go into Settings/Applications/Development and ensure USB Debugging is turned on
If all goes according to plan, you should see the ADB Ladybug icon in your notification bar
I updated the Rootzwiki page with the same info found below.
Busybox actually comes installed by LG on the Revo, how awesome is that??
Download the rageagainstthecage binary
Download the SU binary
Move these files to the same directory your adb.exe is in.
Code:
The > and # characters below illustrate the prompt
you should have, if you have the $ when you go into adb shell,
exit out and type 'adb usb' then go back into adb shell and
you should see the #
Open Command prompt (either use the Windows Key+R and type cmd or start/run, then type cmd)
32-bit users: >cd c:\program files\android\android-sdk\platform-tools
64-bit users: >cd c:\program files (x86)\android\android-sdk\platform-tools
Or >cd (whatever directory adb is in)
>adb devices (verifies you are connected)
>adb push rageagainstthecage-arm5.bin /data/local/temp/rage
(if the above command fails due to read-only, type 'adb usb' then 'adb root' to validate root status, then 'adb devices' again to verify connection)
>adb push su /data/local/temp/su
>adb shell chmod 777 /data/local/temp/rage
>adb shell ./data/local/temp/rage
>adb shell (If this gives you a $ prompt instead of a # prompt, type 'su', if that fails, 'exit', 'adb usb' like above.)
#mount -o remount,rw -t ext3 /dev/mmcblk0p12 /system
#busybox cp /data/local/temp/su /system/bin/su
#chmod 6755 /system/bin/su
Verify the file is in place w/correct permissions
#cd /system/bin
#ls -l *su
After the ls command you should see the following returned by the system:
-rwsr-sr-x root root 26248 2011-05-29 01:09 su
At this point, you may way to remove the files you put in /data/local/temp (optional):
#rm /data/local/temp/su
#rm /data/local/temp/rage
continue with commands
#reboot
Download and install SuperUser from the Market

Just a note for some. The rageagainstthecage bin file may be detected as a virus/trojan. It is not. You may want to disable your antivirus before downloading the .bin file.
I run avira on my desktop and it caught the file as a virus everytime I downloaded it and then deleted it. Avast on my laptop however did not.
Root is simple if you follow the instructions. You need to make sure that adb recognizes your device. Takes 5 minutes to complete, took me longer to install adb again and update it.
Any reason to not use the one click method? Seems to be working

No idea. I have not used the one click. Create a thread for it. I posted what I know which is adb.
Successfully Rooted
with RootzWiki instructions for Windows, needed the remount and busybox lines to overcome the permission denied when pushing su.
Hey guys, either using S1C or ADB Commands, have we found out if it's possible to unroot this as long as you Nand Backup the stock rom then unroot from there yet? Just because I got this phone as a filler/4g unl. lock and got buyback on it from best buy so I could buy a dual/quad later on when they come out .

Doing a factory reset I believe will unroot you. There is no nand back up at this time. We are waiting for a recovery mod.

Oh ya I know, I just always keep a stock one, on the Inc if you factory reset from an AOSP rom, you'd bootloop, so you had to make sure you were on a Sense 1.0 or stock rom(from my experience), so I was just making sure it was no big deal to go back.
Any idea when we will have cw on this?

That's what i figured. Can anyone verify if you remove SU and Rage through adb will it unroot?

If you have to return your device, simply remove the superuser app, after you unfreeze anything you may have frozen then factory reset. They honestly will never know it was rooted. The only way now that you can really tell is the super user app from market.
Just so everyone knows. SuperOneClick can root and unroot this phone ok.

Cool thanks for checking. Any benefits for ADB over S1C? Can't wait to finally root and freeze half these apps. I think we need a few more twitters to praise koush for a recovery on this beast.

Is there recovery for this now? Did I miss something?

No No, I was saying we need to praise Koush's good work so he will make one faster .
And Stetsonaw, any idea if I root through ADB, can I unroot with S1C, since it uses the same idea.
S1C for whatever reason will not run(tried three computers, a XP, Vista, and Win7 lol), it keeps freezing at the same spot, everytime.
Should be able to, since S1C does what the ADB method does... or you could just delete the 'su' file out of /system/bin and /system/xbin (if it's there) to unroot.
EDIT: I couldn't get S1C to open on my desktop, and my laptop, which would open the program, would bluescreen when i connected the phone, so i had no choice but to do it the ADB way.

Hmmm, ya now my computer for whatever reason won't open up ADB through command. This is getting irritating lol. Should be nice and simple, but it just won't go through. If I downloaded the SDK Manager like 4 months ago, it shouldn't matter, correct?
make sure you change directory to wherever your adb.exe is located... as in:
Code:
cd C:\Program Files\Android\android-sdk-windows\platform-tools
I have already rooted my Droid 3( the system is Verizon 906) , but when I use adb to contol it, I cannot get it run on root directly. I need to exploit it and reboot my phone to make adb run on root.
How to make adb run on root directly?

So do you want any ADB command you send to the phone to have root privilege?
If you run ADB SHELL and then run su in the shell, you will get root privilege for that session (is that not enough for what you're trying to do?)

It does work! Thanks a lot.
I got the tool "galaxys2_kernel_repack" to modified the zImage which got from the official release and changed the default.prop "ro.secure=0".
Use the kTool.apk write the image to phone. after reboot, the default.prop value has changed. but the adb shell is still in normal mode, not root mode.
Is there any way to require adb shell root?
Thanks for you help.
My devices software version is N7000ZSLPM_TGY

Thanks for your answer.
I used the stock ICS release by SAMSUNG, not CM release.
As your answer, there is still the normal mode, but can require root shell type the command "su".
I have resolved the problem by flash the speedmod kernel which provide adb shell root. With adb shell root you can use PC Client command like "adb root", "adb remount", "adb push to /system directly"

Two things to check
1)Are you rooted?
1b) Just because you rooted doesn't mean you actually are rooted
2)Does xposed have root permission?

I checked with Root Checker and it's working also fine on other app that requires a root.
about giving the permission what do you mean ? through SuperSU ?
yes I grant xposed when it asked me so what els ?
I think it's a problem in the z3 because it's a dual sim not like other phones !!!

Try installing it via recovery, it has a better chance of working IF you have a custom recovery as well.
I already solve my problem..
Just need re root from start until update to the last fw with pre root flashable and do install recovery once again...
And dont forget change to rw via terminal in your pc

just re root like usually you do and after that , update the FW to the lastest with pre root FW..
then when you finish..
in my experience my dual rec is gone so you cant do anything in recovery mode thats make you cant change system from ro to rw
to make recovery enabled again your phone after update..
do this
run your terminal in your pc inside giefroot folder then when the terminal already open
just copy command in below to your terminal pc..
just remember dont forget connect your phone to pc and make sure your debug is activate
adb push systemrw.sh /data/local/tmp
adb push modulecrcpatch /data/local/tmp
adb push wp_mod.ko /data/local/tmp
adb shell
chmod 777 /data/local/tmp/systemrw.sh
chmod 777 /data/local/tmp/modulecrcpatch
chmod 777 /data/local/tmp/wp_mod.ko
su
cd /data/local/tmp
./systemrw.sh
but about how to use giefroot you can look to this thread

In my Kernel i choose to not disable sony ric for security purposes. If you wanna write sometime on system partition you have 2 options: do it by twrp recovery or disable temporarily RIC service using this command in a su terminal:
"just go to the /sys/kernel/security/sony_ric edit the enable file, put a '0' without quotes, save it, the go to a terminal command app and type this using su: pkill /sbin/ric | mount -o remount, rw /system . this will make the system writetable until next restart."
I hope help you.
