This is how to root LG Optimus Q (LG LU2300) tested with android 1.6 and 2.1
1. Turn on USB debug mode and plug the phone into your computer.
2. Download adb.zip from here (MediaFire). and extract it to C:/ it should look like this when you are done. C:/adb/(8 Files)
#The password for the file is "androidforums.com" but without the quotation marks.
3. Run cmd
4. cd c:\adb
5. This is the command order. I found it best to type it into cmd instead of copy and pasting because sometime it can cause a syntax error.
adb push su /sdcard/su
adb push exploid /sqlite_stmt_journals/exploid
adb shell
cd /sqlite_stmt_journals
chmod 755 exploid
./exploid
rootshell

cat /sdcard/su > /system/bin/su
chmod 4755 /system/bin/su
rm /system/bin/rootshell
exit
exit
