Root Well, lets get the ball rolling

[ktb83]

superuser app is v3.1.3(46)
su binary v3.0.3.2(15)
-rwsr-sr-x root root /system/xbin/su
Automatic response was set to prompt now set to allow. still failing to update.

You might want to try the Superuser Update Fixer app from the Play Store.

Do you have busybox installed?
Were you prompted to allow Superuser to have Superuser permissions when you tapped Update?
Is Superuser listed under "Allow" in the apps section of Superuser?

Busybox is installed. Superuser Update Fixer did not detect a problem yet did not correct the problem when forced fix. I was not prompted for permission for update. Superuser is set to Allow. Thanks for taking the time to answer my questions. I'm going to try a reboot and then try to update. Wish me luck

Well, if root is working and you just want the latest binary, I could upload the v3.1.1 su binary and you could probably just repeat the ADB commands using that one instead.

I just ordered the Elite and it should arrive on Monday. I am not going to open it until I find out if it's rootable and has prospective ROMs on the horizon.

Good luck.

I suppose if you requested one and were expecting one.

NO, it's because you got the new optimus elite and they are just trying to help you with learning more about it, like stated if you are getting a new one, it will send you a confirmation email.

Hey guys, it's been awhile since I've seen you all. NICE PROGRESS! I can't believe that a ROM is almost up. That's crazy.

The past several weeks I've been making the transition from Windows to Linux. It's taken a bit of getting used to, but I fairly confident that I can do mid-level stuff in Ubuntu. Now, for my big question. Do any of you know if I would be able to run LGNPST in Wine? I realize that the program itself will run, but how about the com ports? Do any of you linux users know if I would have any troubles with that? Thank you in advance.

I would try a virtual machine. Runike xp or something in that

I tried using the LG and qualcomm tools in wine and it didnt work out too well. I ended up running XP in vmware to flash the phone.

So, I just got my Virgin Optimus Elite today from Amazon (replacing a Sprint HTC EVO 4G) and I LOVE it. I've been anxiously awaiting a root package but it looks as if this thread has gone cold.

Anybody have any news????

Thanks!

This thread is cold because there are now other threads that explain several root methods we have

Just look for one of the rooting guide threads, I have one and several others have come up with various guides too. Be sure to update your firmware on your new Elite before rooting in order to save time having to do it twice! There is an OTA update that brings you from version ZV4 to ZV5.
