Well I was trying few methods and I discovered by myself one that worked for me.

First I download UPK 2.4.4 (http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1111771) by Ilko, installed all drivers on it. I plug my phone (allow non market app and debogage USB active of course). Then, I launch SuperOneClick (last version) and let in on auto. Now choose shell root and at step 4 (or else) it stucks. I closed SuperOneClick and then launch it again, choose psneuter exploit and shell root. It said to me that phone is root. Don't close SuperOneClick ! So I launch SRP script of Ilko. It works and success my phone reboot, rooted.

If it works for most of you I will make a thread. :) Hope it helps.

Hey guys, this is my first post on XDA.

I'm trying to root my Optimus Black (10C). I've tried all of the methods on this forum but my phone always restarts on: "adb push superuser.apk /tmp/", and after that the rest of the procedure simply doesn't work because I don't have permissions to execute commands.

I see that some of the users have already had the same problem so please share your solution if you have found one :)

Cheers

[LG Optimus Black] dtdpul:
I am facing the same issue, somebody pls help?
[LG Optimus Black] strahinjakupusinac:
Ok, I got it. My method is based on those already mentioned but it's slightly different.

You will need SuperOneClick 1.9.5 from here: http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=16178337&postcount=34 and root.zip from here: http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=15938425&postcount=30

Unzip SuperOneClick 1.9.5

Unzip root.zip and copy "su" and "superuser.apk" to your sd card

Run SuperOneclick 1.9.5 as administrator (Right click -> Run as asministrator)

Select the psneuter exploit method

Click on Shell Root. It will get thru different statuses in a row but then it stucks on one, while the SuperOneClick window says running: psneuter. Now close the black cmd window and SuperOneClick should continue until you get a message that you have a temporary root. Close that message window.

Open cmd.exe (start->run->cmd.exe" or do a link on your desktop of cmd.exe). Remember to launch cmd.exe as administrator.

Navigate to the ADB folder in cmd (It's where you extracted SuperOneClick)

Now enter these commands:

adb shell (When Shellroot worked, you should see a "#" on the shell)

mount -o rw,remount -t ext3 /dev/block/mmcblk0p8 /system

cat /sdcard/su > /system/bin/su

cat /sdcard/superuser.apk > /system/app/superuser.apk

chown root.root /system/bin/su

The phone will now restart. Wait until it restarts and then repeat steps 3-7 and continue with next commands

chmod 06755 /system/bin/su

chown root.root /system/app/superuser.apk

chmod 0644 /system/app/superuser.apk

reboot

The phone will reboot and you should have Super User application installed on the phone.

Thanks to angelox82 :)

Im having a problem, Im trying to root using the 1.9.5 version, everything goes well no reboots etc. but when writing commands into cmd.exe (which i ran as administrator) it says to me: /tmp/su: No such file or directory, and yes i have copied the root.zip files to the ADB folder in C/temp/ADB following the instructions..anyone knows what could ma problem be? I guess its just i stupid thing that i have not considered. ;)

Edit: I succeeded to root the device, i can see Superuser in my app drawer, but any app which requires root says my device is not rooted...anyone knows what could it be?
[LG Optimus Black] raycheng0610:
thanks a lot ! haha rooted so easy

and also i use the method that close that stuck window and then immediately open a CMD.EXE window
[LG Optimus Black] rimatox:
this didn't work for me, I did everything and it did what it said, but I didn't get superuser installed. I cant find it and apps won't ask for root permissions... I'm using 10e.

[LG Optimus Black] choleong:
I have tried all the method mentioned in this post while same problem appeared.

When I typed cat /tmp/su > /system/bin/su,

the cmd show that "cannot creat /system/bin/su: read-only file sytem"

And I typed "cat /tmp/superuser.apk > /system/app/Superuser.apk"

it showed that "cannot creat /system/app/Superuser.apk: read-only file sytem"

I have confirmed that I enter both superoneclick and cmd as administrator.

Some other method such as USB debugging, installed superuser app before,

compatability with other OS(win xp,win7), all in no vein.:mad:

Any one can help me to trackle this problem:confused: Thank you very much.

[LG Optimus Black] ephidor:
the above technique does work for p970 v2.10c+

the problem is the adb processes

you physically have to go into task manager and close down adb.exe to make sure you dont have more than the adb.exe that loaded when u started oneclick

basically a trial and error

also i created a tmp folder on my C:\ drive and copied the contents of the one click folder in there also i put the superuser and su files in the adb folder within the tmp folder i created

also disabling anti virus helps

took me over an hour of messing with the adb.exes to allow me to upload the files onto the phone so i start chmod the important files

so basically i i started oneclick 1.9.5 from the tmp folder i created - i then click on root shell

i waited a minute then opened up task manager and closed down one of the adb.exe

i then opened a cmd prompt window and directed it to the tmp folder

then adb folder

then typed in the important lines and /tmp/su to /bin/ etc

u might have to keep closing down an adb exe from task manager every time u type in those lines

then i type adb shell to create a shell window

i rooted phone on v2.10e p970 with this technique

First download and install UPK 2.4.4 (http://xdaforums.com/show....php?t=1111771) by Ilko of xda forum. click on download link there.

Shell Root Process (SRP) for those for whom gingerbreak does not work.

-----------------------------------

- Settings >applications>development>USB Debugging ON / Non Market Place Apps ON /

-Unmounted SDC.

-Deactivate your PC antivirus for linux exploit to work.

-Download and Launch-right click>run as administrator SuperOneClick 2.1.1.exe(SOC) from here> http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=803682#1

- Select psneuter Exploit

- Click a Shell Root

- It will stuck and freeze on step #4 or #6

- Launch "SRP.exe" from UPK folder.

Phone should reboot on sucess. Now You should see SuperUser app.

If you have installed Root Checker (Apps), you can verify root access.:)

[LG Optimus Black] dharmabm:
just got this phone and rooted on v10a with gingerbreak. then upgraded to v10e (thailand) and had the problems described. beat my head against the wall for about 12 hours but then managed to root with SOC1.9.5 without using shell root. just ran root with psneuter and closed the first adb shell that hung, finished like a charm in less than 2 minutes. try it before you run shell root and all those command options.
[LG Optimus Black] dpockets:
after the soc process when i run srp it shows this error. plz help me to root my phone
[LG Optimus Black] MyPass:
Works for me, but on my system there was no Temp-Folder. Used an other folder an had to add the path to the files like following:

d:\p970\adb\adb.exe push d:\p970\adb\su /tmp/

d:\p970\adb\adb.exe push d:\p970\adb\superuser.apk /tmp/

Thats the only thing i changed!

[LG Optimus Black] dpockets:
Dude can u pls help me with full process how to root since u have successfully done it pls. I actually tried sobralobo method
[LG Optimus Black] Ilko:
it's simple. when you're ready to root, launch SOC, it will stuck at step #4 in most of cases, then launch SRP (reset).

I noticed that on some cases, SOC stops its process receiving wrong returned values (like rooted = true) so the standard SRP (without reset) should do it.

I rooted mine again for nearly the 20th time after testing R&D Test tool.

Normally when server restarts it systematically kills by itself.
[LG Optimus Black] arulshoponline:
Thanks angelox82! It works perfect in my LG P970 with V10B.
[LG Optimus Black] nautilusgr:
OH YES! this also works on V10g !!!

thanks man.

P.S. for other people trying to do it, let's clarify a few things regarding the above procedure:

1. You have to allow installation of non-market apps

2. You have to enable USB debugging

3. The two files have to be on SD root dir

4. After the first reboot you have to run steps 3-7 AND the first two commands of step 8 again before going to the last part.

Well done.
[LG Optimus Black] dpockets:
Sir, i exactly did what u said but as soon as i start srp.exe or srp(reset) my phone goes black screen and touch keys start blinking and after 20 or 25 sec come to life like it restarted and in srp it shows the error in the 2nd pic i have posted in my first post.

I did exactly but i am facing problem in pushing superuser.apk tried with cmd too same prob arrives it says protocol failure.

I have attached the pic of error pls analyse it and help me.
[LG Optimus Black] Ilko:
well I don't know what to say but try several times. Your device seems to not being detected correctly. In that case, restart both PC and phone and try again. Be sure you're ready (unmounted SDC etc...).

Sometimes phone do what I call a "security/defensive restart" by keeping the desktop active. It won't work in that case, phone must do a normal reboot so you won't get USB detecting issues.
[LG Optimus Black] dpockets:
Exactly my phone is doing security/defensive restart and my device is detected by SOC properly and it also hangs on step 4. The security restart occur only when i launch srp. Can it be a firmware issue due to newly updated in india bcz i tried to root it even in my 3 diffrent laptops, or u know of any other possibility.
[LG Optimus Black] thanhvx:
Thank Sobralobo!

Your Method works for me too.....

I think it's rooted because I see the Super User app.

Mine was a V10F and was able to succesfully root using this method. However, whoever uses this needs to keep in mind that before typing this line

chmod 06755 /system/bin/su

after the first restart you need to enter these line

adb shell (When Shellroot worked, you should see a "#" on the shell)

mount -o rw,remount -t ext3 /dev/block/mmcblk0p8 /system

I just rooted my lg-p970 with rom version v10b! Using windows xp.

The procedure was like described, with a little difference. I previously copied su and superuser.apk to /mnt/sdcard/tmp, on windows, using the usb connection.

Then I skipped the lines

adb push su /tmp/

adb push superuser.apk /tmp/

and replaced /tmp by /mnt/sdcard/tmp on the remaining commands.

NOTE: I did it because the command "adb push superuser.apk /tmp/" got stucked on my first attempt to follow this steps.

You are using SuperOneClick 1.9.5? I think there are a button to unroot in SuperOneClick, CMIIW.
[LG Optimus Black] javidsaeidi:
ive tried,this is not working,i tried to unroot my device by gingerbreak application but when my phone reseted the superuser is not removed
[LG Optimus Black] redy2006:
Okay, I think that the root is having this files:

/system/app/Superuser.apk

/system/bin/su

/system/bin/busybox

So, do you have Root Explorer app? First you have to mounted the /system to be written. Then what you have to do is remove those file, and reboot. CMIIW.
[LG Optimus Black] javidsaeidi:
ive found the super user in /system/app/Superuser.apk

and found busybox in /system/xbin/busybox

AFAIK, root contain those files.. but perhaps try it on "/system/xbin/su"

Help with rooting P970 V10d

I have a P970 running stock v10d. I tried SuperOneClick versions 1.7, 1.9.5 and 2.2. None of them worked. Neither did the mix of the GUI and 'adb shell'-ing work.

I assume that psneuter does not work with this version of the firmware.

I wanted to know if I can safely use the above mentioned tool originally meant for LG esteem.

On opening the run.bat in that package, I see this line:

mount -orw,remount /dev/block/system /system

While generally I see this command for remounting /system:

mount -o rw,remount -t ext3 /dev/block/mmcblk0p8 /system

Hence my doubt as to whether this script will work on the P970.

Thanks.

PS: I have prior rooting experience having rooted my HTC desire. I have ensured the basics (USB debugging etc).
[LG Optimus Black] Ilko:
I'm really wondering if I should refer my thread in the general forum. Everything you need is just there, search a little. They are so much people ignoring the dev section, why so..??
[LG Optimus Black] nma83:
Hi ilko, i did go through your thread. I forgot to mention that I have no access to windows machine right now and am looking for a solution which runs on linux. Is there a blackjack version for linux?

Thanks.
[LG Optimus Black] redy2006:
You can extract the BlackJack with compressing software, and get the files needed to root.. The rooting process done by batch command "bj.cmd" which I believe you can convert it to .sh to run it in Linux :)

-CMIIW-
[LG Optimus Black] nma83:
Thanks redy2006, this is the information I was looking for. Will try it out and update here.

---------- Post added at 12:42 PM ---------- Previous post was at 11:51 AM ----------

Unfortunately there is no bj.cmd in the package from ilko. I checked in UPK 3.5.exe and also the drivers and apps packages. There is only a BlackJack.exe in there.

Looks like I have to hunt for a windows machine now... :(
[LG Optimus Black] redy2006:
The bj.cmd are inside BlackJack.exe, it can be extracted.. :)
[LG Optimus Black] nma83:
Ah, I would love to know how... :)

It doesnt seem to be an archive, even tried to run it on wine but it errored out.
[LG Optimus Black] redy2006:
You can extract it via command line, using 7-zip packages.. I can't tell the command parameter to extract it (for now) because I'm not using Linux right now.. But I believe that you are advanced Linux user, and can get it through it.. :)

CMIIW
[LG Optimus Black] Ilko:
I'll give you a link for a zip package...

edit : blackjack_files.zip (antivirus may detect the exploit)

instructions :

usb debug ON

plug phone, wait 5 sec

launch bj.sh, it will stuck after having ran the exploit

then launch kill.sh

process takes 20 sec
[LG Optimus Black] nma83:
P970 rooted from a Linux machine

I was in the process of modifying your bj.cmd (thanks to redy2006 for the extract tip!) when I saw your post. Thanks to both of you I have now rooted my P970 from Linux. I had to modify some lines in the script (syntax/path) to make it work. And I have to mention that it rooted on the second try. In the first, phone just rebooted right after /system remount.

I am attaching the set of files that worked for me, hope someone with a single boot machine finds it useful! The instructions to use are the same as in above quote.

I got it to work on a kubuntu lucid 32-bit machine.

Thanks to ilko and redy2006 again.
[LG Optimus Black] Ilko:
ah I forgot that I was doing some tests before and let the yaffs2 mount type. maybe you already know it but when "REM" is specified the line is ignored. because I got some errors I used standard "ext3" mount type for the public.

oh and I wonder why you had to change some paths. if all files are in the same folder, it's not needed.
[LG Optimus Black] nma83:
By change I meant substituting \ with / for linux. And the mount command had a few typos apart from the yaffs type, nothing major :).
[LG Optimus Black] Ilko:
hmm okay got it. I'm totally noob in linux world :D

This worked for me on V10e, but only with SuperOneClick 1.9.5. Newer version got stuck and stopped responding. However, those two files in the zip, superuser.apk and su. They are outdated, and if i would like to push newer versions right away, i suppose i could just download and use the newest versions of them. But here's my main question: su doesn't have a last name, a file extension, it's just named su, and the ones i find on the interweb are named su.apk. Shall i rename it by removing .apk or...what?

no, because Superuser requires 3 files to run correctly.
