C:\Users\OWNER\Desktop\rootgt540>adb push rageagainstthecage-arm5.bin /data/loca
l/tmp/rageagainstthecage
* daemon not running. starting it now on port 5037 *
* daemon started successfully *
error: device not found

C:\Users\OWNER\Desktop\rootgt540>adb shell chmod 4755 /data/local/tmp/rageagains
tthecage
error: device not found

C:\Users\OWNER\Desktop\rootgt540>adb shell /data/local/tmp/rageagainstthecage
error: device not found

C:\Users\OWNER\Desktop\rootgt540>adb wait-for-device

Have you plugged your phone at the usb cable and enable debugging mode while running z4 root?

Hi everyone !

First post and already complaining, but the zip file is packed with a trojan and unfortunetly my pc doesn't want to download it ^^

Any other option to get a 1click root file for my LG please ?

Any help is welcome..

Thanks !

['(M)OE'WEEZEYY]

Hi everyone

This is a my first post on here and I have just rooted my phone in one click  

I recently had just updated my lg gt540go 1.6 firmware to LG GT540 2.1 and all still seems to be running fine, the reason I rooted my file is I wanted to run app that needed the phone to be rooted so many thanks for making it easy for me to do it.

I also finally got the LG PC suite working, simply had to go to settings and sd settings and uncheck the use as mass storage only box, Thanx again away to see if I can remote control my android from the pc.....

Thanx again every1 !

would this have a possibility of bricking my phone?

I almost pee on myself when I ran the script and my phone froze.

I had to take off the battery and disconnect the cable fearing that I was the lucky owner of a shiny paper holder.

Fortunately it booted okay and on the second try everything went smoothly.

the root.bat should be run on the pc not on the phone.

This is a good piece of advice. Maybe the original poster could clarify a little more and make the post newbie-proof.

I'm a newbie and I tried transfering the uncompressed folder and running root.bat from a file explorer on the phone. Fortunately I wasn't able and then I figured: why run a .bat in a linux-like environment?

Thanks so much to the original poster (and everyone who contributed).  It works like a charm.

Dude, it's just a phone! Don't kill yourself, it's not worth it. Go and buy 10x more expensive iPhone and be happy. I got new GT540 for 60 € without any obligation (contract) to my mobile operator.
