I purchased this phone yesterday as a replacement for my motorola milestone (the very first droid) that has been giving me headaches recently. In general, Viewpad 4 is a pretty nice phone; the hardware spec is good and the price is relatively low.
However, I'm trying to root this darn phone but none of methods I tried work. The phone is running Android 2.2.2 (yea.. not 2.3/2.4) and after reading some posts on the forum, that google patched up some loop hole after version 2.2.1?
I've tried SuperOneClick, Z4 Root, and Universal Androot 1.6.2-beta 5, but so far none of them works. Is there any other possible way that I can root this phone? thanks in advance!
i have used z4root in a 2.2.2 version and it worked.
did the permanent root, after a few secs, the device restarted and it was rooted.
it's a nice phone. very fast and nice touch screen.
thanks for the reply nexosilva. i've also tried z4root but not getting any luck. the app FC after i click the root button, frustrating. =\
z4root? which version?can i know it?
I also trying to root Viewpad 4, but it was not completely root? so help me please.
Thank you.

Ok, I've been coming here for a while, never posted, just read. I hold you guys as the defacto authority on all things Android. Now I know my phone in and out, and it was fine before the upgrade.
Z4 mod worked to perm root, which allowed me to use setcpu, vm heap, nlade buddy, etc. And get rid of bloatware.
Fast forward to now.
After upgrading to android 2.2 on the same phone, Z4 no longer works. Literally gets to the "acquiring root shell" step and cuts itself off. Is there a way around this, or another root ap like Z4 I can use? Un rooted, this phone is a POS ya'know?
Any help you guys can give would be greatly appreciated.

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
@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 have been unable to root the Pandigital Supernova. I've tried everything I can find on the net to accomplish this, but I've had no success. I've tried the Gingerbreak.apk, OpenNova-ROOT-Spz0-v.1.0.update, and the market-3.0.26-update - all to no avail.
Could someone please explain how to root this device? I'd appreciate any suggestions /help. The tablet came with the IR80_S_BN_W_F_B_09282011 Firmware, and I tried all mods I could find on that version. Then I upped the FW to the new IR80_S_BN_W_A_A_12152011 version, repeated the attempts and still was unsuccessful to get SU. I really would love to get Google Market on the device, primarily to get a Netflix viewer but also for other 'sandbox' things to play with.
Help, please.

I also just got this phone. I have been religiously trying different root methods. None have worked out for me. I've run out of answers. I imagine there is a dev out there somewhere trying to release a new rev of Framaroot that would cover this phone. As of rootandroid.com this is not rootable of yet. I am not used to having an unrooted phone and I hate not having root. I hope someone else replies so we aren't stuck in the grip and mercy of the manufacturer.
I just got one today, I tried a bunch of methods as well to no avail. If there is anyone that can help I can pull an image from the phone so that others with more technical expertise might be able to go over it and find a way to root it.
More specifically,what kind of image would be needed? Any statistical info is available on the manufacturers website. In the case of a system image, what process and software would be needed? i will image mine if I have a procedure to follow.
I'm very interested in this myself. I just got one a few days ago and am already missing my rooted and ROMed Droid X. Please someone save us.
Same here I have tried framaroot z4root towel root root master root genius poot and none worked. Someone please help

Damn.
I just bought this phone for my Mom--her first smartphone since Verizon is the only thing in her coverage area. She's having trouble with the ringtones being too flat and not loud enough on the device.
I was hoping someone would've figured out a root for this beautiful little prepaid ZTE so I could somehow increase her ringtone/alert volume level. Maybe I'll poke around with the phone next time I'm near it.
So far she can answer calls and get on Skype

Has anyone got root for ZTE Rapido LTE Z932L?
Any progress?
Just checking in to see if anybody had any progress on rooting the Z932L.
I haven't seen any posts online on any site of people making any progress or even talking about this phone anymore, but it would still be nice if it was rootable.
I picked up a 12.2 inch 2 in 1 Android tablet from Wal-Mart with a brand name of Pro12 with a model number of ct9223w97. It came with Android 6.0. I can boot into fastboot. Developer options are enabled. I have rooted many devices. I'm just waiting to see if the note 7 through T-Mobile is ever able to be rooted. I know a spring debug version is out but I'd rather wait. In the mean time I'd like to figure out a way to root the tablet. There is an app I use that I need root for.
Thank you so much in advance!

any luck getting this thing rooted?
I am very pleased to know that I am not the only person that wants to root this device. The main reason that I would like to root this tablet is to change the dpi and resolution. I have tried running Antutu Benchmark and King Root at the same time as this method has worked on previous android devices in the past but there was no success. For those that were not aware The Pro12 and the RCA Pro 12 are produced by the same Manufacture which I believe is Alco Electronics. The only difference between the two is that The Pro12 is 64GB and the RCA Pro 12 is 32Gb in storage capacity. Otherwise the form factor and hardware specifications are the exact same. The keyboards are interchangeable between the two. Where I am going with this is that if someone manages to root the RCA Pro 12 it should also work on this tablet so be on the lookout. There are some untested root methods I have been looking into but I am so busy. They have been posted below if anyone has the time to consider attempting a root. I feel confident about root method 3 since its focused on rooting Mediatek devices which is the processor make of this tablet.
Also, I am unaware if these untested root methods will install a root admin other than Su or Supersu.

Did you install many apps that are running in the background?
I would honestly run factory reset or look into this task manager app.

I kept it lean, I don't think anything is running that didn't come with, but I'll check, and check that app. Thanks

There is a root that has been successful on this forum for the RCA Maven Pro. Maybe we can request for some help with this since its kinda similar and they have already developed a rom for it. They might have more experience.
Any luck here?

I am still trying. I was attempting to gain ADB access but was unable to get the drivers detected when connecting to the PC via USB. I have been on top of King Root and Kingo Root updates and still nothing. I even tried running benchmarks simultaneously running King Root which has worked in the past with other devices that use Mediatek hardware but I had no luck. Alcatel Fierce 2 Root " https://androidforums.com/threads/root-for-fierce-2.875644/page-45 ". Still searching for an exploit. I think our chance of cracking it is by USB to PC at this point. We need some working ADB Drivers. Im always so busy. Can someone try these and see if it detects the Pro 12.
https://adb.clockworkmod.com/
The Site below list 5 PC applications to root by USB. We can try these once we have a working set of ADB drivers. If anyone knows of some more software we can try please post.

SRS *said* mine was rooted but it did not root. Never installed superuser. Got into it with ADB but can't unlock the bootloader due to the fact that the volume controls won't work to select anything.
