Alright so I'm messing around with my roommates Backflip trying to get the root to work. I used the method over on Unlockr and the procedure seemed to work fine. Everything that i did matched up with the instructions. Now after a reboot Superuser is all messed up. I installed Root Explorer and Superuser wont let me open it. I don't even get the option to allow or deny. What gives?? Any help would be greatly appreciated. Oh, and it's runnin 2.1.
thanks for your help guys, but I figured it out...Z4Root fixed the issue.

Then copy the apk to your sd card. And install it. Make sure you can install non-market apps. Then run the app and choose the permanent root option.

LG US740
Hi all, new here but not new to forums in general. I hate to dig up an old topic for a useless device but it's all I have to play with at the moment and I want to experiment with it. Can't find a lot of information on this particular device. I have found plenty of info on rooting and android development in general however nothing seems to work on this phone. Is there anyone who has some clear information on how I can get this thing truly rooted. z4root does nothing except bog it down until I reboot it. The superoneclick seemed to "root" it and installed superuser but still can't do much. Droid explorer keeps crashing with a system out of memory error. I got it to work once where it seemed to be able to explore the files but I didn't get a chance to try anything. I tried android commander and it says my phone isn't rooted. I am super interested in this stuff, but am getting very frustrated with this device. Any intelligent and resourseful information to point me in the right direction would be greatly appreciated, thank you.
I'm in the same situation as you, friend. Only use mine for wifi and don't have any type of contract/ pay as you go anything, cuz a friend didn't need it anymore, so he gave it to me. First android phone I've been able to tinker with myself. What I did to root my US740 was download and install "gingerbreak." It did the trick for me.
I went to the 4shared website and typed in "gingerbreak.apk" (without quotes) and download it to your phone.
In all your research, did you ever happen to cross information about how to "unbrick" the US740? I seemed to have "bricked" it as in it loops b/t the LG logo, US Cellular and the ANDROID animation...sometimes it hangs at the ANDROID animation, sometimes it reboots itself. The only way I can power it up is when I have it plugged into a power source. Any ideas?
can some one please help me root my orignal droid running frg83d on a mac.
i have tried the z4 root and it keeps quitting on me and doing nothing.
i have tried every oneclick method.
and even going threw my terminal and doing it that way with loading the update.zip but nothing i can figure out is working for me.
Hello all! I think the title of this is self explanatory: Permroot is not working! LOL. Anyway, I am using the bnice method to root an evo shift. I get to the end, all the numbers match up, bootloader shows s0ff, reboot, airplane mode, visionary temp root, then attempt to root, phone reboots, then i delete visionary and superuser, then reboot again and there is no root. What am i doing wrong? any ideas?
Thank you for any help I can get!
finally!!!
Ladies and Gentlemen, we have liftoff. LOL. Thanks for all your help on this.
I finally broke down and used z4 instead. Same process, but you must remmber to add the word "busybox" (all one word) before each command (only when temp rooted with z4). then, at the end, once bootloader says s 0ff, rebooted, and temp rooted with z4. it hung on "rebooting" and i finally shut it off. then i turned it back on and I was rooted. I don't know how or why, but when I uninstalled z4 etc and did a factory reset I stayed rooted. I hope all of my shinnannigans helps the next person with the same problem. or maybe my brain is the problem IDK> LOL anyway, thanks again for all your help
I can't root my charm. I've tried Universal Androot, z4root, and superoneclick. I get failed no fu goo from universal androot, z4root just says its attempting to root forever, and superoneclick said it failed. I really want to root my phone and can't find hardly any info for my phone. My phone info is Firmware version 2.1, kernal version 2.6.29-omap1, if you need more info let me know. Please can someone help get my phone rooted?

Did you try gingerbreak? I couldn't get anything else to work, but gingerbreak worked like a charm!

I am in the exact same situation!
I've been looking everywhere for a root for my Motorola Charm. The specs on my machine are the same as for rntscott's.
I've gotten exactly the same error codes from the same 3 root utilities. Also, super1click also uses the gingerbreak exploit, and I tried rooting it with both separate exploits within super1click, still no love.
So if anyone out there has any suggestions for us, or if this has been resolved in another thread, please point me in that direction?
Thank you so much. Right now I'm frustrated at how little I can do with the pittance of phoneboard memory, and I actually want to USE my phone to do neat things with. Thank you!
