I think we might be out of luck
My gf has the same phone (also on Koodo) and so far I haven't succeeded in rooting it. Gingerbreak hangs, superoneclick hangs at step 6 like I've seen for many other people, and Z4Root didn't work either.
I've seen some pleople claim that gingerbreak worked on their C555 but it hasn't for me on my many attempts.
It succeeded on the first try for my Optimus One but that was running 2.2.1.

Finally could root the LG-C555 "LG optimus chat"
I finally could root the LG-C555 (LG optimus chat) from koodo (Canada).
I used the superoneclick v2.3.3 and tried frst the zergrush method ... which failed,
then (without rebooting) the psneuter method which failed too.
Finally tried the Auto method ... and success !!!
Now, I have to find a way to install cyanogenmod
firmware LGC555
Found this damn original firmware link to use with KDZ.
EDIT: Cannot post url as a new member, what you need to know is:
swdata/WEBSW/LGC555/AKDOAQ/V10d_00/V10D_00.kdz
I can finally start experimenting with the LGC555.
If anyone else has already done something, I strongly encourage them to share.
Hi there, where you able of installing another firmware into your LG-C555? If so, I surely would like to know how you did it!!
Here's some info you might be interested reading:
The LG Updater tool detects my phone properly and tells me that I'm running the latest (V10D) firmware for this LG-C555 phone. I need to reinstall this version V10D of the firmware or even a previous one but I'm unable because I can't choose ANY firmware, I can't "upgrade", it tells me that everything is OK with the phone but it is not and that's why I want to "upgrade/change" the firmware of this phone
Is there a way I could "break" the internal firmware hoping that the LG Updater would then allow me to install the latest one (V10D) on it?
For your information, my LG-C555 is network unlocked & rooted and currently runs Android 2.2.
Since I need to change the internal firmware I went ahead and tried Gingerbreak (version 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 the .apk normally, the installation started but never ended, it stayed in an infinite loop (more than 1 hour)... I had to reboot for those 3 attemps
What can I do next if I only want to "change" the internal firmware of this phone?
Thank you for your time,
highmighty
SuperOneClick works for LG-C555
I Just ran SuperOneClick using the Auto option and it worked perfectly. Exact same specs as you (phone is from Koodo Canada as well)

i didnt have any problems rooting the LG-C555 with superoneclick not a hitch
I know it's an old thread... anyhow I managed to root my Telus Optimus Chat with the SuperOneClick 2.3.3 but then I cannot find a way to backup my stock rom and find any custom rom that this compatible with this POS phone! Everything seem to be only for expensive phones.. please help?
Does anyone have the KDZ or link for this phone?
I Have a mytouch 4g which was updated to 2.3.4 from 2.2.1 via the T-Mobile store , but now i decided that i want to root it ,the problem is u cannot root 2.3.4 , but i read a couple of XDA Posts that you can downgrade , i tried it , with putting the 2.2.1 PD15IMG.zip on the SD Card but i get the following Message " The PD15IMG File is an older version of Andriod." Can someone help me with downgrading or if there is a method to root 2.3.4 ? Thanks In Advance !
same question,waiting for the answer....
Honestly it sounds like the stock rom may be corrupted, -I would- try a couple other ones. Other than that I don't know, I downgraded mine but the update was done before I received the device, I don't know how it's done in the store.
IF your phone is still under warranty or you have insurance you could exchange it for another one, if you just said it was constantly freezing or the touch screen didn't work [by calling], and you'd receive another with the update stock and you can downgrade that via tutorial here [I did]
problem solved...

this uses ADB so be sure u know what you are doing...
then use GFREE Method

this gives u the engineering bootloader, sim unlock, clockwork mod recovery... basically its an all in one package... in a easy to follow youtube guide...
Hi all first post so please go easy on me...
Im trying to root my GS2 so i can unlock the sim and i have been looking how to flash and root (have done other stuff in the past)
The problem i am having is finding the correct file to use.
Im in the UK on an Orange locked phone and need to find a CF root? or what ever that matches my BaseBand and Kernel
BaseBand i9100PBVLP6
Kernel [email protected]#3
Can anyone link me or tell me what Rom i can use that will keep the phone running like it was but without all the Orange crap or just Root.
Cheers all
rooting I9100PBVLP6
this worked fine for my i9100p:

How to root HTC T328W after OTA?
Build No.: 1.56.1402.6 CL65713
Hey PeeJ. I am also trying to do the same thing. I just bought mine in Shanghai. I was only able to unlock the bootloader. The rooting methods on this and the androidforum did not work for me. Most of the software is chinese, but I could see I was unable to write into bin directory or something like that. Maybe I missed a step, but hope to restore my google capability and get all the Wiebo, Sino stuff off my phone.....
SOLVED : HERE
Hello Everyone,
I need help with my HTC Desire 816 Here is my issue :
I rooted my device using this tutoriol http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2775801
everything went smooth but when i open SuperSU it says Binary needs to be updated but i'm unable to update it in anyway.
After root the phone restarts randomly.
I even tried to unroot using SuperSU and other ways but nothing seems to work.
N.B: I always had an iphone, it's my first android phone so i'm a Newbie in rooting.
Any help is appreciated.
Thanks.
