How to install the LG USB and ADB USB drivers on Windows.
This is the part that I had the most problems with, but that's mainly because I read the instructions wrong!
First, install the LG USB drivers from the link above.
Then, on the phone you need to enable USB debugging mode
Settings ---> Applications ---> Development ---> USB debugging (put a check mark here)
Connect the phone to your PC with the USB cable.
In Windows, you should hear the beep on a connected device and the LG drivers should find it OK. In Windows, open up Device Manager and you should see 2 devices with yellow exclamation marks beside it and the description "LG USB Modem" (I'm going from memory here, so that may not be 100% accurate).
Right click on the 2nd one, click "Update driver software", click "Browse my computer for driver software" then click "Let me pick from a list..." You should see "Android Phone" listed. Double click this and you should see a list of 3 options. Click on "Android ADB Interface" and click "Next". You'll probably see an "Update driver warning" box, so just click "Yes" to install it anyway.
If you don't see 3 options, click "Have Disk..." and select the Android USB driver (android_winusb.inf) you downloaded earlier.
After all this, you should now be able to get ADB shell access to your Eve. To check you have access follow these steps:

OK.. cannot even get this far ?? After researching for best part of 4 hours this seems to be the only place that gave me any hope of rooting the GW620. Tried all the other methods, no fastboot (updated firmware). Z4root (wont even install) Super one click (nope) and so on.
Here I have no idea how you are getting the drivers to register as they are. Installed the latest LG usb drivers and then in device manager I get
LGE Mobile USB Modem, under the Modems heading.
Now I have tried new versions, old versions of the LG drivers. Rebooted both the pc and the phone, took out the battery and discharged the phone (supposedly...). All to no avail.
So, When I put the phone into debug mode the drivers change to:
Modems - LGE Andriod Platform USB Modem
Other Devices - LG Mobile USB Modem
I cannot install the "Android ADB Interface" because it doesnt list as an "Android Phone"...
Even when I use the Have Disk option (going through the steps carefully) I choose the location of the driver and it says "The folder you specfied doesnt contain a compatible software driver for your device. If the folder contains a driver, make sure it is designed to work with Windows for 32-bit systems" (I am assuming the driver package I got through SDK is the 32-bit version?)
Tried this on both the Modem and Other Devices listings..
Any help please.. Just want to get access to a few more apps, the market for 1.5 is pretty... rubbish.
Running Windows Vist 32-bit SP2. LG GW620 with android 1.5 and software version GW620-V10c
