Rooting for Lg - Optimus SLIDER / Enlighten / Q

Rooting the LG Optimus Slider will be the same as for the Esteem. Trying to just use Gingerbreak 1.2 or Z4root will just hang. This will also work on the optimus Q.

You will need a data cable, pc, and data connection to download files onto PC. After root is complete Gingerbreak then can be added but is OPTIONAL, as this root will already put on superuser. But you may put on Gingerbreak for purpose of unrooting. See video as I show the unrooting as well.

Rooting lets you take full advantage of what your hardware is capable of. Such as overclocking and bypass the OS's limitations. Permissions are required for such apps to operate and need root access.... tether, keyboards, customs roms, and just because you can, though the phone companies don't want you to. Please do so at your own risk.

The link you provided for the LG driver support doesn't seem to be working, and I can't find the page at all for the drivers, even if I search the web.

@FajitaWeasel if viewing from a mobile device youtube redirects the links

would anybody know if this would work on a mac running windows xp inside of parallels? i hope so since this is how im going to do it

[mstechify]

@venomdub not sure but I know you can do this on a mac and terminal

@mstechify When you underclock the cpu from 800mah to 480mah, did you noticed a difference in performance? I'm sure it will double the battery life, but I'm all about speed. There's extended battery on ebay, but I already bought cover for the slider, and I don't like the idea of putting it on and off.

WOW THANK YOU SOOOOO MUCH!!!!

@lilcrazyaznboy only if you plan on using apps that require rooting. like screen shots or ad blocking apps. don't root out of peer pressure. but it is nice to be able to freeze apps or change permissions on apps. When you get your phone hold off on the rooting till you are sure or at least the 30 day return. since first smartphone get to know it first.

@mstechify I am getting the optimus slider next week, and this will be my first smart phone ever. I don't know anything about hacking the android, so I'm not sure if I'm going to mess with this (maybe if I have free time).  If I only use the phone for light internet browsing, texting, and download a couple of apps, will rooting be worth it?

@TheMonkey0101 read under video for description on what rooting is.
