I've had an LG Optimus S for a while now and I was just wondering if it can be hacked or "jailbroken" like the iPhone can?

Ever heard of rooting? Just google it. All of your answers will be solved.
Edit: I found the perfect website.

At least do it properly. Go facepalm yourself.
Rooting =/= jailbreaking
Rooting does nothing jailbreaking does
Thanks a bunch.CarbonX13 said:How about instead of linking him to random websites, just simply telling him what rooting is?
Rooting on Android is different from a jailbreak on iOS. Rooting is like the "Run as Administrator" command on Windows, it allows you to do certain processes that are otherwise not possible. A non-rooted Android device can be viewed as a standard user with certain administrator privileges, whereas a rooted device is like the administrator account. The process of rooting is different for every Android device, so you'll have to search up the specific process for your Optimus S.
After rooting, you can do a variety of different things, but the list is unlike the jailbreak for iOS (as the latter is a lot more limiting when not jailbroken). You gain access to modifying certain aspects of the Android OS, such as advanced themes, or installing a custom-made ROM to replace an old one. You also get an array of exclusive applications such as AdFree (an AdBlock for Android), and Titanium Backup (very helpful tool for backing up all your apps and data).
Here's a page about rooting the Optimus S that may or may not help you:

I have the same phone, I just downloaded Gingerbreak (it works on 2.2) and it worked. I used it to install Clockwork and a custom ROM. c;GreatCrippler said:Barring the smartass responses. >.> In theory yes, it can be rooted, but I have an LG Optimus V, and none of the guides or tutorials seem to work. Not sure what the issue is, but 4 methods later, the things is still not rooted.
