In order to root the LG Optimus L3 you will need the following:
- The LG Optimus L3 you wish to root in your hand
- Access to a PC
Step 1 – Download and install ADB and the USB drivers on to your PC
For your PC to recognise the device once connected to your PC you must first download and install ADB on to your PC and also download the USB drivers for your phone and install them on to your PC.
We show you how to do that here.
Step 2 – Download the root package for the LG Optimus L3
You will need to download a root package to root the device. You can get it from here.
Save the download to an easy to find location on your PC such as your desktop and extract it to its own folder.
Step 3 – Enable USB debugging on the LG Optimus L3
You must enable USB debugging on the LG Optimus L3 so that the phone can be recognised by ADB once connected to your PC.
To do that, on the device, go to Menu > Settings > Applications > Development > USB Debugging and make sure that the USB Debugging option is checked.
Step 4 – Root the LG Optimus L3
Now that you have installed ADB on your PC, installed the LG USB drivers and enabled USB debugging on the device itself it is now time to root the device.
To do this, with USB debugging enabled on the device, connect the device to your PC.
Once it is recognised and the USB drivers have been installed for the device it should be recognised by the PC.
Now open the folder you made in step 2 which contains the root package and run the Run.bat file.
Follow the instructions that appear on-screen to root the device.
Once rooting is complete, on the device itself, you should now see a new application, SuperSU which means that the device has been successfully rooted.
