[Guest RottenFoxBreath]

My guide is a screenshot . Sorry . The polish site can be translated by Google.

Yep...translates..but not very ****ing well... B) B)

I've already got gparted..so at least that's 1 good thing..lol. :lol:

[Guest smileeomar]

please any one explan to me because i didnt understand any thing

OK !

I have made a modified version according to the suggestions from forum members . The busybox left out , and now it is using the superuser app .You need the uploaded zip file from the original post and you need to run it in a DOS window from the folder which contains the unzipped files .

reboot

You should wait for this part until the phone fully up , because when you type su the superuser app should be come up on phone's screen and you need to allow it .

C:\rootgt540v20b>adb shell

$ su

su

Thanks for the cooperation to everybody !

what is that code above??????

[Guest TheLostSwede]

I'm sorry, but if you don't understand anything, then this is way to complicated for you to do.

Short explanation, you need to download Google's Android devkit, run a piece of software called ADB which allows you to type commands straight in the phone which allows you to use some additional software to unlock it.

I won't be offering any help as to how to do this, since I don't want to be held responsible for someone bricking their phone because they can't follow simple instructions. It's actually quite painless if you know what you're looking at, but if not, then it's going to take some time to figure out and you could potentially damage your phone.

[Guest bloodlust8]

Thanks to joestone I've rooted my phone. Now how can I use app2sd. Any tutorials from those who have successfully tried it? TIA

[Guest Eazyy]

Anyone that's rooted, fancy trying the original LG camera app?

As they have changed the video camera recording in 2.1, from .mp4 to .3gp, and the performance isnt as good as 1.6.

The original camera app from 1.6, I have uploaded is here!.

Anyone tried that? I'm still on 1.6 and waiting for German ROM, so I can't try...

[Guest greg69]

I have successfully managed to root the GT540 , and seems superuser does not need to install apps that require root access (maybe this is security bug of this method , but does not need to modify the original rom like russian guys did). I only tried vnc server which works fine .

I will do a guide how to root the phone and create a zip which contains the neccesseary files (adb,rageagainstthecage, busybox,su).

adb push rageagainstthecage-arm5.bin /data/local/tmp/rageagainstthecage

adb push su /data/local/tmp/

adb push busybox /data/local/tmp/

adb shell

$chmod 4755 /data/local/tmp/rageagainstthecage

$chmod 4755 /data/local/tmp/busybox

$ cd /data/local/tmp

$ ./rageagainstthecage

adb shell

# mount -o remount,rw -t yaffs2 /dev/block/mtdblock4 /system

# mount -o remount,rw -t yaffs2 /dev/block/mtdblock3 / (maybe this not neccesseary)

# cd /data/local/tmp

# ./busybox cp su /system/bin

# ./busybox cp busybox /system/bin

# cd /system/bin

#chmod 4755 su

#chmod 4755 busybox

#su

#id

the id should be 0 and gid should be 0

#busybox --install /system/bin

#cd /system/xbin

#ln -s /system/bin/su su

#cd /system/bin

#cat sh > su

#reboot

after the phone reboot

adb shell

$su

#

Now you should be able to install any app that require root.

I left out to push the Superuser.apk to /system/app beacuse the app2sd script or the vnc server install does not opened it but they works .

#

Anybody got a newbie script? :huh:

i.e. how to connect and run these commands?
