I may be wrong but I think the mic for any headphones with a mic work its just the other functions that don't (i don't have what you have but i have another pair of headphones and they work fine)
[Nexus One Accessories] wingnutLP:
Well, I am afraid the answer is that the Klipsch X10i does not work with android phones. At least not with the desire z.

I spent £170 on some Klipsch X10i and the mic doesn't work at all :(

That said...

The Klipsch S2m are on amazon only and they are the same as the Klipsch X1m. They are one button and have a mic that works with android and they are only £25!! They don't sound as quite as good as the X10i but at £25 instead of £170 that seems fair. They have a good balanced sound, a bit bass heavy if anything but they are well worth the money. X10i's are going on e bay!
[Nexus One Accessories] Gabewithkungfugrip:
I have been using the S4i with the N1 since Feb of 2010 with no problems. As you might have read, the volume +/- buttons are made for the iphone and don't work with android. But the call-answer button works to answer calls and skip tracks. The mic works great and the sound quality from the earbuds is great.

Non-Iphone headsets on Android phones

This is general issue, IPhone headsets have the pins for mic/ground switched, so that 'standard' headsets will not work. This is done so that Steve Jobs/Apple can make more money :)

All you need is a pin-converter cable. I found this one which makes any non-Iphone phone accept IPhone headsets etc.

Its pricey but well worth it if you don't want to buy an IPhone and make Steve rich :)

Is the synergy nightly updates working yet or do I still need to download from link? Asking just to make sure I am not having an issue, so far I am digging this rom.
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] JWhetstone02:
As of the latest nightly; it is not working. I think it will be easier once they get it working though.

Awesome ROM
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] FranzVz:
Yea, it doesn't seem to work in all parts from what I can see.
[LG Revolution] bwhxeon:
confirmed not working, guide removed till update is available
[LG Revolution] navycow:
un root works.
[LG Revolution] rd5150:
will unroot work if the phone was rooted using the manual method?
[LG Revolution] MXFrodo195:
Hmmm, everytime it says "extract gingerbreak" the program freezes, on both of my computers... And the LG Android drivers are installed.
[LG Revolution] majorpay:
I used psneuter for the root method inside s1c (should be default). I heard prior to using s1c that gingerbreak wasn't working on this phone.
[LG Revolution] MXFrodo195:
Well after breaking the command prompt on my laptop(vista...) I got it on my old desktop. Problem was computer sucked. So if anyone has a crappy computer. When it freezes. On your phone endebug. Wait about twenty seconds. It'll freeze again. Debug it. It'll freeze again. Undebug again. Itll process about half of the information. Then this time it wont freeze but it'll wait for you to debug it again. Then it'll install superuser and test it. So Gingerbreak. Freeze. Undebug. Freeze. Debug. Freeze. Undebug. Ask for root. Debug.

Hey not everyone has good computers now :)
[LG Revolution] maggio08005:
Hi guys, I have google chrome and i downloaded the (s1c 1.91) but when i when to extract from my downloads folder, it wouldnt let me it said

" Cannot Complete the Compressed (zipped) Folders Extraction Wizard

The compressed (zipped) folder is empty.

Before you can extract files, you must copy files to this compressed (zipped) folder.

To close this wizard, click finish"

I have windows 7, can anyone help or tell me whats up?
[LG Revolution] navycow:
You should try 7zip
[LG Revolution] maggio08005:
What is that, and instructions too please .....
[LG Revolution] navycow:
1- Download and install 7zip

2- right-click the zip file and click extract
[LG Revolution] maggio08005:
well I tried that but then it told me cannot open as archive., so what now Navycow?
[LG Revolution] majorpay:
The original was not a real zip, it's a rar. Rename it to .rar and open it with 7-zip. If not, re-download it. Preferably here: http://shortfuse.org/?page_id=2. Supposedly that one's a bonafied zip.
[LG Revolution] nick99wj:
s1c never gets past "Waiting for Device"...any suggestions?
[LG Revolution] majorpay:
Did you enable USB Debug and put your phone USB setting to "internet connection?"
[LG Revolution] nick99wj:
Yea, and I installed the drivers however windows is still asking to go through the horrible windows driver wizard but doesn't locate the drivers anywhere.
[LG Revolution] majorpay:
Here: http://www.lgforum.com/resources

Find the LG Revolution in that list and grab the WHQL drivers.

@bwhxeon - you may want to include that link in your guide. Those drivers are a pain in the butt to find.
[LG Revolution] nick99wj:
worked like a dream thank you!!...all rooted. Now what to install/freeze/...do haha
[LG Revolution] bwhxeon:
I'll put the link up on the original post, so these will get windows to stop asking for drivers even after they are installed via boostrap already?
[LG Revolution] majorpay:
Yeah, this is the complete set of drivers for this device (nothing omitted). It will go through the process of setting up the drivers one more time, and then never again (it should find everything).
[LG Revolution] lazarus2297:
Ok so I used the drivers from that page and when I use S1C it gets to running psnsuter (or gingerbreak both do the same thing) it never gets any further.. I even waited like 15mins.. I have usb debug on and internet connection mode. I tried the manual adv method and when I run the. rage command in adb shell adb restarts but my phone never shows back online doing the adb devices command... I am at a loss.... have used both win 7 and win XP.
[LG Revolution] majorpay:
Do you have superuser installed? If so, uninstall it.
[LG Revolution] lazarus2297:
no i don't have superuser installed... I have just tried by uninstalling my drivers then reinstalling only the whql drivers and not letting the verizon progam install and still same thing..
[LG Revolution] bwhxeon:
Really don't think the drivers are the problem I had no problem getting this to work without installing drivers from the website. I think you should factory reset and try again.
[LG Revolution] lazarus2297:
the phone was new in the box when i tried to root the first time..

do you really think a factory reset would make that much difference at this point? obviously i don't mind doing it since i haven't even activated it
[LG Revolution] kwiggington:
Cant wait to root

Sent from my Revolution
[LG Revolution] majorpay:
scratch this and see below

vvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvv
[LG Revolution] majorpay:
Lastly (assuming I don't remember anything else), the first time I did this, I remember I followed this procedure:

Turn USB Debugging OFF

Click Root

When it says: Waiting for Device, Turn USB Debugging ON

It'll now run RATC

When it says: Starting ADB Server...

Turn USB Debugging OFF

Turn USB Debugging ON

Turn USB Debugging OFF

All BEFORE it says "Waiting for device..." again

edit: this is supposed to fix the bootlooping (which is what causes it to hang)
[LG Revolution] lazarus2297:
when i go into adb shell on my PC and enter the su command i get permission denied so i am pretty sure i don't have root although i don't have the superuser app installed.. to check it that way...

when i try the manual method i can push the rage file and the su file then when i run the rage file and adb restarts my phone shows as offline when i do adb devices and the only way to get back to online attached is to reboot the phone which restarts the process...

this is driving me crazy i have tried all kinds of combos with the drivers i have tried on my xp machine and my win 7 machine it makes no sense to me..

in the manual method there is a su file i am supposed to download... i notice that i have to save it has "all files" then remove the .txt extension that windows attaches anyway.. could this be one of the issues with the manual method?
[LG Revolution] majorpay:
Try the method I posted above your post, and I'll look at the second question in the meantime.
[LG Revolution] majorpay:
LOL... I was looking into the manual method and the first thing my AV does is "clean" the rageagainstthecage.bin (this could be an issue with some antiviruses). Still looking into the rest of the procedure, but obviously, AVs will have to be disabled to use this method.
[LG Revolution] majorpay:
Final answer and tested with s1c (this worked)

debug off -> click root -> on "adb server starting" -> debug on -> magic happens
[LG Revolution] lazarus2297:
the only magic happening is that apparently i have the only not rootable revolution...:confused::eek:
[LG Revolution] majorpay:
Wow, still nothing? Did you turn off your AV and try the other method? Also, when you save SU, don't save as text, click the drop down and select "*.* all programs"
[LG Revolution] lazarus2297:
so just for kicks i hit root shell first and then i said I already had root so i hit "root" it worked this time i have no clue why.. but i know i didn't have root because i downloaded root explorer and it didn't ask for root access.. whoohoo!!
[LG Revolution] majorpay:
lol... you probably had root the whole time. It doesn't ask for root access until you install superuser from the market.

(btw - install superuser from the market)
[LG Revolution] OmiDroid:
Hey lazarus,

Looks like I have the same symptoms you were having. I've been trying to root my phone for three days now and still no luck. Here are some of the permutaions I have tried in the past three days. I'm really at a loss here. can y ou tell me if there's something you tried that I have not tried (see list below) that may have fixed your issue?

OS:

Windows 7 (All the latest patches/hot fixes)

.NET Framework 4

Drivers: Tried both of the drivers below with most of the permutations

LG Verizon United Driver 1.2.0 (from the LG Website)

LG Verizon United Driver 1.2.1 (from the Phone which it downloads from LG)

I've tried the following S1C versions, all with the same results (basically just sits at running psneuter and never gets past it.

v1.7

v1.9.1

v1.9.5

I've tried MajorPay's suggestion to:

debug off -> click root -> on "adb server starting" -> debug on

and CLShortFuse's suggestion:

Turn USB Debugging OFF

Click Root

When it says: Waiting for Device, Turn USB Debugging ON

It'll now run RATC

When it says: Starting ADB Server...
Turn USB Debugging OFF
Turn USB Debugging ON
Turn USB Debugging OFF
All BEFORE it says "Waiting for device..." again

...neither worked.

I also tried rooting the manual ADB way (with SDK versions 6 and 11) all with the same results. Basically, su keeps getting a permission denied, and when I run adb root after running adb usb like what the instructions say i still get "adbd cannot run as root in production builds". I basically can't get the root prompt.

One thing I noticed; if I run RATC in the adb shell, the device goes off-line and I can't get it back on-line till I reboot my desktop (not sure if the LG drivers can get unloaded and loaded to fix it). Unplugging and replugging the usb cable, killing adb processes and rebooting the phone does not fix it.

Also, to make sure that I didn't have any driver version conflicts (or SDK conflicts for that matter) I always re-imaged the development OS partition to a base install.

Any insight would be appreciated...
[LG Revolution] majorpay:
Do you have another PC/laptop to play with this on?

The RATC thing is concerning....
[LG Revolution] OmiDroid:
Yep PC. Can be re-imaged back to deafult image if need be.

Just a clarification on the ADB RATC process.

Does not exhibit device going offline:

adb shell ./data/local/temp/rage

Exhibits device going off-line:

> adb shell
$ ./data/local/temp/rage
[LG Revolution] majorpay:
What about this:

> adb shell

$ ./data/local/temp/rage/rageagainstthecage-arm5.bin

I don't want to sound like a butt-head or anything, but I think that line on the instructions is a mistake/wrong. It's attempting to get you to execute a directory. That doesn't make any sense?

I never looked at it because s1c worked for me and seemed to work for everyone else.
[LG Revolution] OmiDroid:
Nah you are not... Thx for helping...

Srry it took a while to reply. I was actually testing on a diff machine. My laptop same results just slower (slower machine).

The instructions had us copy it to rage then do a chmod 777 on it. Makes it easier to type I take it...

>adb push rageagainstthecage-arm5.bin /data/local/temp/rage
>adb shell chmod 777 /data/local/temp/rage
[LG Revolution] majorpay:
Yeah, and that part is fine. it is this that bothers me in the instructions:

adb shell ./data/local/temp/rage

I think it was supposed to read:

adb shell ./data/local/temp/rage/rageagainstthecage-arm5.bin
[LG Revolution] OmiDroid:
adb shell ./data/local/temp/rage seems to execute...

If I do a

adb shell ls -l /data/local/temp

the temp directory returns:

-rw-rw-rw- shell shell 26248 2011-06-14 10:37 su
-rwxrwxrwx shell shell 5392 2011-06-14 10:36 rage

[Edit:] BTW What version of S1C did you use? I wanna try something...

[Edit 2:] NM.... that didn't work...
[LG Revolution] majorpay:
execute the command I gave you then check for root and let me know.. not sure of version right now, I'll check when I get home.
[LG Revolution] majorpay:
you can check 4 root by typing

Adb shell

su
[LG Revolution] OmiDroid:
I got:

./data/local/temp/rage/rageagainstthecage-arm5.bin: not found

I also tried pushing:

adb push rageagainstthecage-arm5.bin /data/local/temp/rageagainstthecage-arm5.bin

and executing:

./data/local/temp/rageagainstthecage-arm5.bin

same results... It seems to execute but no dice on su root access.
[LG Revolution] OmiDroid:
I get:

$ su
su
su: permission denied
$
[LG Revolution] majorpay:
Put adb shell in front of my command
[LG Revolution] OmiDroid:
I'm assuming you meant "adb shell su". It returned with:

su: permission denied
[LG Revolution] majorpay:
adb shell ./data/local/temp/rageagainstthecage-arm5.bin

That's what I meant.

Sorry, was driving
[LG Revolution] OmiDroid:
Oh my bad... I did that 5 posts above. When I pushsed it to the temp dir with the same name, it seemed to execute but when I did an ">adb shell su" I got

[Edit] a permisssion denied.

Same with:

>adb shell
$ su

it returned wth permissions denied
[LG Revolution] majorpay:
Ok... I didn't know because you had put adb in front of the push, but not adb shell in front of the command in your post
[LG Revolution] OmiDroid:
Srry... my bad... tried to shorten the post by just typing the result of the command. I'll try and remember that next time.

[edit] Never mind. I did post the command without the adb shell... LOL
[LG Revolution] OmiDroid:
Gonna take a break... Been at this a while. Can't even remember what I posted anymore...

Thx for the help Major.
[LG Revolution] OmiDroid:
Update:

It was my last resort but I finally got the phone rooted. I tried to figure out which app I downloaded that was preventing the root to happen but it was taking too long and didn't want to have a non functioning phone (can't live without my apps).

Pressing <Power><VolDown> and erasing the phone made S1C work. It was suggested in an earlier post but wanted to exaust all avenues to preserve my data first.

S1C v1.9.1 worked without a hitch...

Finally will be able to do recovery and backup the darn phone.

OP. May wanna suggest factory wipe as a last resort to get rooting working.
[LG Revolution] majorpay:
Good thing too, because I just realized I was wrong about the command anyhow and was about to announce it. Driving and thinking (while posting) isn't a good thing ;) Maybe next time I just wait until I get home
[LG Revolution] OmiDroid:
No biggie... I wish I was able to pinpoint the culprit... Need to have a play phone and a real phone. LOL
[LG Revolution] OmiDroid:
Thanks again for all the help Major... :)
[LG Revolution] lilshooter:
Running the rage command works because when u push the ragethecage file you push it to rage. Also when I did it I had to do adb usb remount or something like that and then after I remounted I no longer had the permission denied problem.
[LG Revolution] majorpay:
Yeah, when I got home and read it closer, I realized that...
[LG Revolution] OmiDroid:
I tried that as well but didn't fix my issue. I also did adb root. There was something I installed that borked getting the phone rooted. At first I thought it was ADW Launcher but that was not it.

I have no blue Tooth. Do you think this is from the rooting, or did I freeze something that has a blutooth subroutine? I froze everything on the first list of everything you can freeze.

Must have been something I froze. Which is strange cuz I followed the list.

It will not proceed past this point. I have the drivers installed, USB Debugging is on, its in Internet Connection mode. Any help would be appreciated.

Update:

I downloaded s1c 1.9.5 on a different PC and it worked. My Revo is now rooted and several of the bloatware apps are frozen!
[LG Revolution] Brksy86:
I finally got mine to work, after having the same problems as most I started the process of turning debugging off at the start start and was getting ready to switch it on, off, on, off but before I knew it, the program had already said you are rooted. I had gingerbreak selected instead of psneuter also.
[LG Revolution] njKeever:
THANK YOU!

On my first Revo I did it the manual way. I just got my replacement and used SOC, so fast and easy! Thank you!
[LG Revolution] whhs41:
This guide is really awesome. I get my revo tomorrow so I am trying to learn everything I can. I thought it was important to make backups before you root/unroot. Is this still the case? If so, where are there no instructions on when or how to make the backup.

I remember on the Eris I had to do a nandroid backup before I rooted so I could reload it if need be. Is that no longer the case with the revo? I don't want leave it unrooted if I have to return it for warranty work.

Thanks for the help!

[LG Revolution] MarkyD311:
I'm running the stock rooted rom from here:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1129117

I'm trying to sell the device, and need to un-root. I'm all good on adb, drivers, etc...this is the same XP machine I did manual root and then installed CWM via ADB with.

I'm trying to un-root with this tool, and it hangs. I've tried using Gingerbreak and psneuter as the exploit method with similar results. I've set the screen to stay on. It's able to push psneuter/gingerbreak, but each one hangs at "running..."

I've tried disabling/enabling USB debugging when it hangs. I'm not sure what else to do.

Is there something else I need to do here? The buyer wants the phone un-rooted, as they are a non-advanced user and will need to be able to get updated OTA, etc...thanks in advance for any assistance.

Gingerbreak or Psneuter

What's the difference between gingerbreak and psneuter, I used S1C and gingerbreak, but is there any advantages to using either one?
[LG Revolution] wheelern:
So whenever I try this, s1c just hangs when it is waiting for the device. It becomes unresponsive whenever I try to do anything. Any suggestions? I have the correct drivers, have USB debugging enabled, and I'm pretty sure I have internet only checked (didn't find any clear cut instructions on the proper way to do this, though).

Thanks in advance for the help.

I had this problem also but then manually rooted. Couldnt get ADB to recognize the device til I changed charge only to internet pass through then recognized adb right away.. May work for super one click also
[LG Revolution] FynxSyndct:
Just used the s1c to root my Revo. Worked like a charm the second day of trying. I had many issues with W7 on both my laptop and desktop trying to keep the device attached. I kept switching back between adb and s1c. It finally worked.

It worked needy with debugging turned off until s1c was looking for the device. Once I enabled debugging on the device, I was finished in a few minutes, rebooted, installed superuser and am happy.
[LG Revolution] jefbal99:
I will be utilizing this on a buddies Revo as his salesman told him the free hotspot was non-expiring when he upgraded back in June. He got his bill and was charged for July.

He was not a happy camper to say the least...

I just performed this on my Revo as well. As far as the drivers are concerned, you only need the WHQL Verizon ones on that site. The other LG ones are not needed. I originally loaded both and had all sorts of problems...
