Root [ROOT] For the LG Spectrum ICS OTA

[overdope]

Sorry, I just realized I posted on the original spectrum page..spectrum 2 support is next to nothing..I ran the motochopper zip file with success, doesn't unlock the boot loader but I have some sort of cwm on there now as well..I bought the touch recovery but don't know how to get that back..or if I can flash it..sorry I get carried away, I'm on the Spectrum one I know...was this pwnage tool only for the vs920? Or will it with with my vs930 as well?

Its only for the vs920. Used on any other phone will most likely end up in a brick.

There is no 'most likely' about it. The pwnage tool flashes a custom kernel as part of the bootloader unlock process and will brick any other phone except the vs920.

Ok right on..I figured..I just want to find a way to remove bloat..says I could with the motochopper.zip but it only gives me the app info button, from what I understand it does not unlock the bootloader but finds a way around it..but if anybody has a link or something on how to do it can u PM me out something? Gotta stop posting bout the vs930 just looking for some help..I still have my Spec vs920..did 4.3 get released yet for it?

Removing bloat - all you will need is root and a program like Titanium Backup to freeze bloatware. Be careful with this tho, freezing the wrong app will cause a security error.

Spec1 getting 4.3 - TDM released an unofficial beta in the cm 10.2 thread. I've been using it for a week now. There are a few video based bugs but its pretty good.

 

[overdope]

Nice, I'm going to try the 4.3 asap on my Spec..and also not going to freeze or uninstall anything Ha, don't know enough. It's running quickly and I have Holo - I'll just hide them

Good thread! Just used the info to root my vs950. I tried the bin4ry one n it didnt work, this 1 worked flawlessly.

Actually, we have pretty solid 4.3/JB support via official CM 10.2 and TDM's PACE ROM.

There is also a very respectable 4.4/KitKat beta in the PACE thread but it's not 100% yet.

Nathan, good looking out with mentioning this to him... Though, since he's on a VS950, none of these would work for him... Might be salt in the wound

LOL. That was meant for overdope and reeseboy, not dollabillz. That's what I get for not quoting

Can't help you there. Sorry. If you were running Ubuntu I could tell you exactly what you need to do.

I have ubuntu 12.04 and need help, it just says daemon is not running, daemon started sucessfully on port ****. Any ideas.

 

[TuxFan]

Should I have it in modem or ethernet mode, and it stops after daemon started sucessfully, and just sits there. Im on ubuntu 12.04 trying to root an lg lucid on ics 4.0.4.

Make yourself "root" in terminal in Ubuntu and run the installer, worked for me in openSuse.

Yes, but open suse, and ubuntu use different systems. It is works half way in ubuntu unless you follow these steps.

Terminal, root and bash are the same.
.deb and .rpm are package management utilities, kernel, terminal and bash are the same.
It would seem that you are dong a Lucid and not a Spectrum and there maybe is the difference.
