Hi, I just purchased the new LG myTouch (all myTouches are now made by LG) from tmobile and I have been trying to root it with no luck. I have been trying to use superoneclick but it always gets to step 7 and stops working. I made sure my SD card is unmounted, the phone has USB debugging turned on, I have tried the pdanet method, and I tried unplugging and replugging the USB cord but it always stops on step 7. The phone has android 2.3.4 but I have seen other threads where people with 2.3.4 got their phones rooted so why can't I? Any ideas?
Sorry if I'm posting this in the wrong place but there is no forum dedicated to this phone. I'm guessing because it just came out this month.
i just got the Q for my girl, i was wondering the same, just to remove the bloat. can someone please point me to the right direction?
Just checking in to see if anyone has found any answers.

where can i find these threads? can you point me to it... maybe i can try and find something, or do something different and help out with solving it.
EDIT: did these threads say for the MTQ or was it just a thread for a random 2.3.4 device?
The threads I saw were just for a random 2.3.4 device. I saw another thread on xda with someone trying to root this phone but just like this thread no one is answering.
Has anyone found any methods to root this phone?
Success!
After several attempts to root via SuperOneClick 2.2, I tried something totally random from another LG rooting thread that seems to have worked. Install ADB, then do:
WINDOWS> adb shell
$ echo 1 > /data/local/lge_adb.conf
$ exit
Then run SuperOneClick 2.2 and it should root properly.
I will have to give this a try on one of my Windows PC's. Linux and SuperOneClick are not playing nice together right now.

Good Job Man....Worked for me. Have root and superuser.
Ditto! Root, & Superuser
== Instructions that worked for me ==
- Download myTouch Q drivers (Search "mytouch Q usb drivers" - Can't post links yet! XD )
- Check that adb recognizes device: C:\> adb devices
- Follow eamondaly's instructions:
WINDOWS> adb shell
$ echo 1 > /data/local/lge_adb.conf
$ exit

- Run SuperOneClick v2.2
- Wait for phone to reboot (SuperOneClick seems to be paused)
- Reset USB debugging (mine was turned off after reboot)
- Wait for SuperOneClick to finish.
- Enjoy rooted phone
Thanks
Okay thanks for the root methods greatly appreciated but now I am starting to get into developing anyone can teach me how to make a system dump to try and make my own roms I am a fast learner ort at least point me in right direction thanks again
Im not shure if im doing something wrong, i had better luck rooting an xperia play, a Droid X, and a htc mytouch, but this lg mytouch wont go for me. I tryed runing adb, i know how to use, was doing a little programming with it and eclipse. Anyhow, typed everything in and this is what my cmd shell looked like...
C:\ADB>adb shell
$ echo 1> /data/local/lge_adb.conf
echo 1> /data/local/lge_adb.conf
$ exit
exit
Then i tryed running superoneclick , tryed root and shell root, neither seem to work, it goes threw some and then hangs. my phone disconnects and reconects, thats it though. i checked in terminal, typed su, access is denied. i tryed it with debugging on and off, sd mounted and not.
Any ideas or tips. im using windows vista.

you are running under admin right I know silly question but had to as lol
Thanks eamondaly
I just want to thank eamondaly for this method. I just ran superoneclick 2.3.1 and it worked perfectly. I don't know if it was your method that worked or if superoneclick 2.3.1 fixed it but all that matters is my phone is now rooted. Thanks.
Thanks a lot for the root method, I've been waiting patiently for this. Now can we get to making mods for this phone now?
Edit: Anyone having trouble sending/receiving MMS messages? I cant seem to send or receive them.
I was having an issue with receiving MMS on both my wife's and my phone. Ditching the stock messaging client and downloading Handcent resolved it for both.
Switching MMS apps didn't work. Tried a number of countless APN setups. I just decided to unroot and factory reset. Everything is working again.
titanium pro back up image
hey all,
Im sure this is a random spot for this but, since we dont have a home yet.
Im looking for a stock back up image (Titanium backup pro)with all apps and system settings. I think I may have cleared out a system file or two when cleaning out all the Tmo bloat.
Any help or other suggestions would be great.
I found another way to root easily. http://www.unlockroot.com download, install and click root. I had issues with superoneclick and the adb method but this gave me full root with superuser and now I am happy that all the t-mobile crapware is gone
I'm trying to root my T-Mobile MyTouch Q and not having any luck. It's Android 2.3.6, but I tried running "echo 1 > /data/local/lge_adb.conf" and I get a permission denied error. I tried SuperOneClick version 2.2 and 2.3.3. SuperOneClick gets to step 7 than hangs and nothing happens. It says waiting for device. I also tried Unlock Root and it fails to get shell root. I searched all over google and the xda forums, but all say to run that command then run SuperOneClick and that hasn't worked for me. Anyone have any ideas?
Hey guys, I've been trying to get an initial root on my HOX+, it's my first time rooting anything and I've come across a bump in the road. I've been following this rooting guide from the HOX+ forum, but so far no one's responded to my request for help, so I decided I'd broaden my quest for answers here.
This is the initial post I made:
Help! I've followed the steps to the T, but I'm struggling with installing the recovery. I've unlocked my bootloader, downloaded the TWRPrecovery.img, put it in the right folder. As soon as I boot into the bootloader, my phone seems to disconnect from the computer. I still have fastboot usb selected, but my device no longer shows up under adb devices. When I try to >fastboot flash recovery TWRPrecovery.img, I get an error "error: cannot load 'TWRPrecovery.img' : Unknown error"
I've got the international HOX+ and a computer running Win7. Any assistance in the matter would be super appreciated.
Hello guys,
My phone is bricked since i mess around with the build.prop. I found a tutorial to unbrick it, but i can't do it since i haven't toggle the usb debugging in the developers settings. now I'm stuck at the animation. However every thing is working until it says error: device offline. Can anyone help me to make my device online via adb! PLEASE! HELP!!!!
tutorial i use:http://asuszenfone-blog.blogspot.com/2014/07/asus-zenfone-flash-tutorial-via-adb.html
P.S: I'm not an expert at these, but at least i can understand them...
[UPDATE]

Here is a good guide for ADB: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2141817
You will want to use push and push your fixed build.prop to /system
You will probably need to reset the permissions using ADB shell and chmod. You want rw-r-r, and I think the code is for that is 644.
luckily i already change to the original build.prop before restarting my phone..., so i don't know why it's still broken...
I am not trying to push the build.prop, i just want to flash the original ROM to my phone to make it like new again...
THL W5000 problems getting stuck on Boot, adb unauthorized/offline
Hello there Guys,
I already postet this in the XDA Assist Forum and I got redirected to here. So here´s my problem listed below. Hope for help from the Pros.
After I flashed a few tons of phones, this one gets me really p*ssed of. I can´t acces the THL W5000 with ADB, I can´t mount the SD-Card because in Recovery there is no Option for this to do so.
I cant push/pull files to/from the Phone. Got no luck with fastboot and it gets stuck on Boot screen, so I can´t accept my PC for adb to work.
And what I recently found out, the Bootloader is locked, so I can´t even Install from SD-Card. I got a new SD-Card with ROMs and TWRP, the Recovery is able to read the SD, but when I launch a .zip, it
suddenly appears the Message (in Dropbox the last Image):
Code:
-- Install /sdcard ...
Installation aborted.
I need help asap
When you need more Info please ask I will reply asap.

push.
Phone works again, just got the right ROM, pulled it onto SD, plugged into the SD Slot, installed ROM from there and suddenly it worked all.
What a wonder!
Thanks to me
Hello, Happy new year. I am new here. I need help. I have Alcatel A851L Sonic. I transfered build.prop from Lenovo A316i to my Alcatel A851L. then I transfer it to /system and when I restart phone it won't start up. it has black screen. I have original build.prop in my PC. I try to transfer it with ADB but I get error: read only file system. Next I remount system as read write but I still get error: permission denied. I have downloaded AlcatelIMG which I found on this website. I wanted to flash system.img with Miracle box crack but my phone won't get into fastboot mode. Please help me.
