Root [ROOT KIT] OPTIMUS M 2.2.2 (Dummy-proof-3-click)

[alfick3]

Hi I was on 2.2.1 rooted but was getting freeze\reboot issues frequently so today i found this for the 2.2.2 root.. I have did the upgrade back to 2.2.2 from rooted 2.2.1.. I have downloaded the 2.2.2 root and recovery but when i go to the run first .batch via es file explorer it ask how do i want to open.. options are text video image or audio. Can someone please help?

In order to do this, you need to have your phone hooked to your computer via USB, and the root kit needs to be on the computer. You then run the .bat file on the computer. It will then transfer all it needs to, over to the phone.

ALL CREDIT GOES TO BENALMIGHTY FOR FINDING THIS ROOT METHOD FOR 2.2.2 PHONES! ALL THANKS GO TO HIM.I JUST PUT THE FILES TOGETHER FOR EASE.

DOWNLOAD THE 2.2.2 ROOT AND RECOVERY KIT

RUN THE "RUN FIRST" BATCH FILE AND FOLLOW THE PROMPTS.

usb debugging must be on with an sd card inserted and mounted.

Select option A on the first screen and READ THE SCREEN AND MAKE SURE YOU DID WHAT IT SAYS TO DO!

once its finished,you will be root w/ GINM custom recovery on 2.2.2!

Feel free to download and flash my 2.2.2 stock DEBLOATED smooth ROM from HERE

!!AND AGAIN,HUGE THANKS TO "BENALMIGHTY" FOR THIS FIND!!!
!AND BIGGER THANNKS TO THE GUYS WHO MADE THE C++ ONE CLICK FOR US!

HOW TO ENTER RECOVERY-turn phone off..while its off,hold vol down,home and power until the 4 buttons at the bottom light up..then release the buttons and it will boot into recovery.

Alternate ways to boot into recovery include-Quickboot.apk (free on market)


WARNING:I URGE YOU,AFTER ROOT/RECOVERY IS COMPLETE.GO STRAIGHT INTO RECOVERY AND MAKE A BACKUP!! I CANT STRESS THIS ENOUGH!!

I thought it was the "FIRST BATCH FILE" LMFAO. Lol. By "RUNFIRST" I didn't assume it was called a file LOL. Anywho Im rooted thats the important factor. No more hanging out with the crackheads for me . Also Kelso, is it possible to make a seperate zip of the Data throttle?

im going to tonight...cuz im making the ics theme include the throttle for now since it causes the network settings to FC..so it will be an optional add on from now on..to ensure the least amount of bugs with my theme

Also, I got a bootloop when installing your rom. Is there a 2.2.2 debloated in the mean time?

word of advice...remove the bloat apps with titanium backup..it does a clean uninstall like any other data/app...its lust like backing it up,just choose uninstall instead..also easier to tell what apps are what.as apposed to root explorer.

it should definately not have bootlooped????? download the superwipe.zip and flash that before flashing my rom....also go in after and wipe batt stats and sd ext if your using it for a2sd..wipe everything at least twice..then flash my rom and nothing else..let it boot up and setup the phone of exit the setup..then power down and then flash whatever add ons you want..then reboot and you should be good to go.hope this helps you.

Superwipe.zip? Where can I find this And how to use lol.

 

[mikekelso421]

Google it. Flash it before flashing a new rom. It wipes boot,cache,system and data 3 times.

After superwipe, manually wipe everything else 2 times (SD ext,batt stats and android secure (optional) ).

Thank you. I can't flash your ics theme because I'm using cwm, so that'd be great to have a separate, flashable, throttle removal.

Rom and theme worked perfect for me on first try!!!!!!!!!!

If your using clockworkmod just overwrite the apk's and change the permissions on the apk right after overwiting it.the permission for all 3 files in the theme are:

xx-
x--
x--

Then reboot.

I'm not sure what you mean by overwriting the apk. I do understand changing permissions, though I'm not 100% sure on how to do it.

Change permissions using Root Explorer

with root explorer,copy my themed framework-res.apk,lge-res.apk and services.jar files into the /system/framework folder..copying them will "overwrite" the existing apk..do each apk, ONE AT A TIME..long press them to chage the permissions to match the diagram above..

Ok, so to make sure I have this correct: I will need to un-zip the theme, and then copy the three files into the /system/framework folder on my phone. Then I use Root Explorer to change the permissions. This will then give me the ics theme and I will have the throttle be gone feature. Sounds good. Thanks for the replies back.

Hi everyone and please be patient with me. I want to root my OM 2.2.2 but I'm not as sure of myself as you guys are...would you please answer a few questions for me?

I have baseband version: MS690ZV6_00.6050 and Kernel version: 2.6.32.9

1. What is the purpose of GINM custom recovery and do I have to do this?
2. Can I keep all my present settings and ROM?. All I want to do is get rid of the MetroPCS crapware and get to the blocked files.

Thanks again everyone!

the purpose of recovery is basically to make your phone "brick-proof"...as long as you have a recovery on your phone,there are NO software related issues that cant be resolved...another reason would be to flash modified OS's to your phone..like repards or bobz's CM7 (gingerbread) or my or joniedys froyo ROMs...also you can make backup of your phone so that you will always have a good revert point in case you mess something up or delete the wrong app...there is NOTHING BUT BENEFITS to recovery on your phone..

once the program is finished,go into recovery and make a backup...its a self explanatory process once you go into recovery mode...the instructions are in the OP...(Original Post)

can not wait to get home and try to re-root my OM!!!!!
