i don't think so ask the developer
Hi, my LG-C555 is unlocked & rooted and currently runs Android 2.2. I wanted/needed to change the internal firmware so I tried Gingerbreak (1.0, 1.1 and 1.2) but none of them seems to work.
I was able of pushing gingerbreak.apk (version 0, 1 and 2) to the /data/app folder with the USB debugging mode ON and I also have inserted a formated/mounted SD card in the phone.
Then I installed it normally, the installation started but never ended, it stayed in an infinite loop (more than 1 hour)... I had to reboot.
How did you manage to install it properly on yours?
Thank you for your time,
highmighty
Hi all,
The Gingerbreak installation starts on my rooted-network-unlocked LG-C550 but it never ends, it stays in an infinite loop (more than 1 hour)... it finally needed a reboot and unfortunately nothing has changed with the firmware version, it's still Android version 2.2, what could be the problem?
Also, could someone tell me how can I force a flash of the same default "firmware" into it?
I suspect a problem with the installed firmware so that's why I wanted to try Gingerbreak to see if my problem would go away...
Your help is much appreciated!
Regards,
highmighty

It looks like the exploit, which Gingerbreak uses is fixed, you can try to use the Stock-ROM of your phone. There are many other ways out there to root phones. I got my Huawei Boulder rooted with superoneclick, maybe that will do it for you too. If you find a solution please post it here for others.
Best regards

SuperOneClick worked great. Thanks for the advice. I sucessfully rooted an LG C555 from Koodo.
Hi, just a question here. My sister gave me a C550 or C555.
Does the root unlock simlock at the same time, like others devices, or not?
I recently used the apk file developed by Mr. Chainfire to root My LG Optimus P500. Running version 2.2.1, V10c-DEC-08-2010.
At first, it didn't install correctly. I rebooted and installed again. This time, when I ran it, it says, and I quote, -
" Data is in an unexpected location!
Please report this in the XDA thread!

Somebody please help Me, as I'm unable to root My phone.

gingerbreak is for 2.2.2 (at least according to the link below)
try one of these other rooting methods:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=901247
i recommend z4root
I tried z4root 1.1.0 as well as z4root 1.3.0. But to no avail. I also tried this SuperOneClick 1.95. Again, to no avail. What can I do? Please read the error message it gave Me. I have read it in some other thread that GingerBreak is supposed to work on My model and version number! Hence my agony!
Please help!
I had to download Z4Root from several different markets before I found one that would root my lg optimus t.... 4shared.com has many different versions. just keep trying
