An Android Device’s full potential comes out when it is rooted. If you have bought a LG Thrill 4G smartphone, then you should consider rooting it. After rooting your phone, you will have the ability to install Root-only apps as well as you can modify the system files. A rooted phone has so many advantages over an unrooted one.

2. For a smoother rooting process, charge your phone to at least 60%.
II. Downloading Required Files:
1. Download the LG ADB Drivers from here.
2. Download the Rooting Package from here.
III. Rooting LG Thrill 4G Smartphone:
1. Download and place both the archives onto your Desktop.
2. Extract files from both the archives to your Desktop,
3. Install the LG ADB Drivers which you extracted from the archive.

I did all this and all it does is dipable the USB mass storage and my PC no longer see’s my Thrill.
TURN THE DEBUGGING BACK OFF VIA; MENU-SETTINGS-APPLICATIONS-DEVELOPMENT-UNCHECK USB DEBUGGING
Need a video for this. Followed all the steps but maybe missed one, because it still won’t connect
Tried on different pc, and (while run.bat was “waiting for device…”) suddenly 5 drivers installed when connecting in usb debugging mode and the root started. Awesome 😀
its stuck on dameon started successfully?
Mine opens up the software, but says “Installing “su”- failed, access denied” How do I fix this? It does the same thing for installatioin of SuperUser!
How can we validate that the phone is rooted?
Greetings….I would like to ask you that will it work with the ics update???
