[Q] Lg p500 2.3.3 rooting (plz help)

I tried each and every method to root my phone using gingerbreak z4root superoneclick 2.1 using normal and pneuter mode but nothing helps me
But on rooting with superuser its giving finshed and placed a icon of superuser application in my phone menu but none of the application is asking for superuser permission and some application giving error force close user..........
PLZZZZZZZZZZZZ helpp.......

when you open z4root, what does it say? does it say temp/perm. root or reroot/unroot?

when i open z4root it says temp/perm root and when i click any one of them than doesnt happen anything the process goes on and on

i just realized you have gingerbread. now that brings you down to two options:
1. try using gingerbreak again (i believe this is the only rooting method for gingerbread but i may be wrong. if that doesnt work then try...
2. downgrading back to froyo:

[TOOL]Easy Root for the Inspire

ok so i know one of the most important things everyone needs for a device is root and s-off. without that no roms or kernels or any of the good stuff. so, i usually use the cyanogenmod guide. but with all the commands you have to use it can be a little intimidating for some people new to rooting. so to help with this, i have taken the guide for root from the cyanogenmod wiki and rolled it up into a nice little batch file you can use to root your inspire. i have not been able to test this since my inspire is already rooted so as always use at your own risk. all it is is all the commands put together so it can be easier for newer members. so here is how to get this to work. also credit goes to the people over at cyanogenmod who have made the guide.
I AM NOT RESPONSIBLE IF THIS CAUSES DAMAGE TO YOUR DEVICE.
1. You must have adb installed and running. you also need to have it in C:/android-sdk-windows or you can edit the first line with notepad or move the folder.
2. You must have already downgraded your phone to the 1.32.405.6 firmware.
3. Your device must be connected to your computer and have usb debugging enabled.
4. open the zip provided and in the folder are all of the files nessicary for this to work. unzip them into the platform tools directory so they can be easily accessed.
5. extract the Root file to your desktop.
6. Run the file
7. look in the window and find the 3 md5 sums.
a)if the 2nd and 3rd md5's match you have achieved root/s-off
b) if the 1st and 3rd match you have not downgraded sucesfully or the firmware is to high
c) if none match don't reboot and go to #G2ROOT for help.
also, if this does not work for you please tell me and will try to fix it.

Has anyone tried this? If so can you please post your results?

i would also like to see some results so please tell me if you have tried it.

i would have to say that until this is tested by the dev that anyone looking to root and s-off their device should use the ace hack kit. it is a one step process anyone can do.
@ stumpy
you can revert your device to stock using the factory s-on tool here:

so please test this so it can help people root and please keep up the good work.

i dont get why it would need testing. it uses a method that already works and i have used,i just made it kind of a 1-click thing so it would be easier. if you look at the guide i linked and look at the file its the same exact commands.

Good work dude!!

Seriously? This is not an easy root method. Ace Hack Kit has already spent the last 7 months perfecting this method and it is sound. All you need to do with Ace hack kit is:
1. Purchase Phone
2. Enable USB debugging
3. Download Ace Hack Kit
4. Plug phone into computer and run Option 1. Done
No downgrade. So its complete stock with root and it creates your gold card in the process so it doesn't get easier than that. Also unroot is part of the program and it let's you choose which RUU that was released for Inspire to unroot back to. Also you can flash any of the stock radios all in one program.
Are you aware that Attn1 has already built a program that is now "THE" Inspire 4G root/unroot program?

Agreed, there are many ways to root a device. The Hack Kit is the standard and most simple way to root/unlock your device. I am sure some one may find this handy but we really don't need another thread on how to do this and its really not development related. Also a bit of advice always test something to make sure it works before posting it.

[Q] ALL steps to root Motorola Xoom 4.0.4?

So I recently got a Xoom and would like to root it. I can easily search through forums and follow instructions, but I want to be sure on what I have to do. I've rooted and flashed several Android devices already, so I'm no newbie, but once I bricked an Atrix so since then I've always been super cautious.
So now.. how do I root and install CWM on the Xoom? It's on 4.0.4 OTA.
Do I have to unlock the bootloader first?
Specific references to threads and step by step instructions preferred. Thank you!

Yes, you will have to unlock first. There's a bit to set up first, but if you read the instructions and get everything you need set up in one place it's pretty easy. Also, it's actually hard to really brick a Xoom. A few have managed but it's not easy.
Try this guide...everything should still work fine, and it explains a lot

Hello Everyone im new to the boards here
I'm Trying to root my Friends Xoom for him. He told me he already started the process and unlocked stuff but cant flash anything or succesfully root. I dont know what he actually did and to be honest neither does he..... * put a gun in my mouth haha*
So my question is can i just follow the guide posted and start from the very first step and redo everything and still be ok ?? He has it updated to OTA ICS 4.0.4 I found several guides for 4.0.3 but im not sure if those instructions would still work if anyone could clarify this for me i'd greatly appreciate it

I also had a problem after unlocking. It unlocked fine, but then I couldn't flash CWM through fastboot. My problem was the Application Variable thing, I assume. What I did was go to the platform tools folder (which for me was C:\Program Files (x86)\Android\android-sdk\platform-tools ). I held shift and right clicked Platform Tools, then pressed "open command window here" and then I flashed CWM through fastboot in that window. Just make sure the CWM image is in the Platform Tools folder, along with fastboot.exe.
If you have any issues with that, PM me and I'll try to help.

omg Frozen thank you so most for that post i literally had the same problem CWM would not flash till i did exactly what you said in the last post thank you soo much greatly appreciated

There is one VERY important piece that is left out of most threads.
The newest Xooms that were release overwrite CWM files upon reboot unless you take specific steps to make sure it doesn't... e.g.
have the update.zip you want to use preloaded on the sdcard via pc
or
use a usb with a otg and a version of CWM that can apply update.zip from the USB drive.
Also beware of threads that dont mention what version of the OS they are for. For example its very easy to root your device, but it be on an on 3.x OS and then the OS will update it to 4.04 on the next boot cycle, and wont give you a chance to pick your ROM update. As a result your device is not rooted at this point, and CWM is not installed because you didnt have root in time to move these files:
adb shell mv /system/recovery-from-boot.p.old /system/recovery-from-boot.p
adb shell mv /system/etc/install-recovery.sh.old /system/etc/install-recovery.sh
while in root.
Really sucks.
So in a nutshell those with the latest Xoom tablets that were released, must make sure you find a update.zip that is compatible with ICS 4.04 and then get it to your SDCARD or USB Drive via any method possible - and then flash the right CWM that supports what you want to do, then catch that as it reboots the very first time but pushing the down button and then up button of the volume controls, and then you can install the root (update.zip).... then if all is well you will be able to boot normally, and then go back and get into CWM and install the ROM of your delight.
Experts feel free to chime in so I don't mislead anyone. I wouldn't follow the above advice until an expert puts their AOK on it.

Any Xoom any update BTW I had my mz601( Telstra ) on offical ics rooted by this method.

[Q] desperatle wanting to root my htc raider from rogers

so i've read so many forums, done everything i can, every method, but to no avail; im still not able to root my htc raider. the most recent forum i came across, which supposedly the simplest and easiest method to root my phone, is this " http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1498003 " i thought the video was supposedly a step by step tutorial, but not as much as i expected it to be. because of my previous attempt before using this toolkit, i was only able to unlock the bootloader, so i skiped the part were u have to do it. i went straight to flashing the cwm and was successful. with that, i was able to use backup/restore. then i went to permroot and all i got from the command promt was adb stuff out of date. i thought maybe i have to flash my kernel so i did. but then i got stock on the htc logo. can anyone plz help me

[Q] Root/Custom Rom Help LG LW690 (Optimus C)

Hello,
I am new to the forums and android in general. Anyways, I am wondering if any one could advise me on the best steps to root and update my oldish android phone. It is currently on android 2.2.1 and has no support for 2.2.3 which is why I believe I need a custom rom.. I have looked thru numerous threads and sources but have yet to find a method i fully understand and trust, as i hear it.. you guys are very helpful and i am hoping that is true cause im about to pull my hair out at this point
Thanks in advance for any help, its appreciated very much.

Its great that you are showing interest in this. (Edited out, the device is stated in title xD).
Rooting shouldn't be as hard at installing a custom ROM. Older devices are rarely supported nowadays, unless it's really popular like the HTC Wildfire or something.
The best way to root your Optimus C is by using GingerBreak. Many users that have your device use that.

Thanks for taking the time to repond/help. Anyways, after some more research I think I found a easy root solution.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=13086954
This method seems both easy and very sraight forward. Could any one please confirm? Id just like a lil insight before taking the plunge. lol
Note* I would link the posts stating this does work to gain root access but i cant post outside links untill i have 10 posts on XDA.

Don't worry, the root method should work just fine.

Ok, got it rooted
The next step would be to download rom manager and make a custom recovery using clockworkmod?
Btw~ incase someone is confused in the future. The root procedure was a few simple steps.
Before doing these steps make sure usb debugging is active. Also temp disable your anti-virus as it will flag the apk as a virus, This is a false positive.
1. Download the file from the first post in the thread. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1049944. (the easy way for me "since i don't have a usb cord" was to click the QR code link on the first post and scan it with one of the many free qr scanner apps from the play store.
2. Navigate to the download and install the APK.
3. Open Gingerbreak.
4. Click "root" and wait for your device to reboot. Thats all :laugh: "if the process takes more then ten minutes reboot your device and run it again"
5. You can go ahead and uinstall/delete the apk once you have sucessfully rooted.

The next step would be to download and install the devices custom recovery.
Don't just install any, again go to that site I had provided you with earlier that have the stock and custom .imgs with steps on how to install it.

Ok so.. I have a problem, I was about to setup a custom recovery when all of a sudden Super User decided to update and now im a little lost. I have still have root acess and all of my root only apps are working perfectly fine. but every time i use a root app or reboot my phone since the SU update i get a message saying my binary files need to be updated. I try to update them and it fails every time, I have looked though a few threads and the only fix i could find was to use busybox installer. But.. busybox will not install on my device. How do i go forward with this? I don't want to mess anything up.. specially since i just thought i had it all figured out. :crying:

Nevermind, I guess i found a decent work around, I uninstalled the update and forced it to not auto update. I don't know if this is a bad practice but it seems to have solved the issue.

I like LG' phones. I am using LG P500 and very like...:good::angel:
