Use Gingerbreak 1.2 or higher to root LG Vortex with 2.2.2


hope this helps

Thanks for the information, earlytopps, but could you please explain it in English? lol I googled Gingerbreak, and it seems to be file sharing app?
I don't know how to root my phone, and I don't have many files worth sharing. I also googled 'root my android' and this website came up. How to Root Your Android Device & Why You Might Want To - How-To Geek

Unfortunately, I still don't know what it means to root my phone. I'm illiterate when it comes to these techy things. As I said, I have Mike at the Verizon store, and I should probably stay with him for now -- but thanks anyway. Maybe this info will help somebody else.
