[LG Optimus] How to root the LG Optimus
from Paul O'Brien:
Quote:Step 1. Make your LG Optimus GT540 in standby mood.
Step 2. Click the icon to open the phone dialer on your LG Optimus GT540.
Step 3. Input the code “3845#*540#”.
Step 4. Select Module Test.
Step 5. Select Stability Test.
Step 6. Choose “Enable Root Permission”.
Step 7. Now you will be prompted for a password, then input :SWIFT::GT540:
Step 8. You will see a toast message saying OK, that means your root access is enabled.
Step 9. You can reboot your LG Optimus GT540, and when you connect via ADB, you’ll see you have a root prompt (#).

Oh I completely agree. And if it wasn't for stupid manufacturers locking down their firmware i'm sure it's the way google would want it too!

Doesn't work for me
I bought an Optimus last week from Crazy John's. It has Android 1.6. I followed the directions, but there is no "root" option on my phone at the last stage. Any ideas or alternative methods? Have LG or vodafone removed the option somehow?
