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,

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'm sorry if this has been posted before, but I have yet to find a solution.
I recently rooted my Infuse with SuperOneClick. I flashed the Serendipity 7 ROM. I decided I wanted to unroot my device because my phone began to not be able to receive calls. SuperOneClick does not support 2.3 software, so I tried to flash a Froyo rom so I could use the program. My phone is now stuck in reboot. I can't even get it into recovery mode, no matter how many times I try. I have no idea what to do, I need my phone to work. Does anyone know any way to fix this? Thank you in advance.

Hi, I have posted a thread like this a while ago and it has not been resolved so i need to start it again. I have a Motorola Spice (XT300) from mobilicity and i had it rooted and then it broke so they sent me a brand new one. The problem is that when I went back to root it, superoneclick keeps "Not Responding" in windows. I did the root on this same computer and it worked the first time and now this keeps coming up and I have all of the sufficient Drivers installed and I have tried this on 3 DIFFERENT COMPUTERS!!!! I have usb debugging on and z4root does not work at all so I am assuming that it is a software bug. I have tried different versions too and they all crash but the only version that works for this specific phone is 1.7 so PLEASE PLEASE HELP ME!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! The phone is basically unusable without flashback (Bloatware) uninstalled so if here are any alternatives to this software or if someone can help me, it is very mutch appreciated
Thanks in advance

What are the settings / steps that you are using in Super One Click?
I've been trying for a week to root my LG viper and nothing has worked. I originally used the Bin4ry method to root ICS but the other day Sprint rolled out an OTA and it un-rooted my phone. I've literally tried every method I can find and nothing works. Every time I get the same message like in the picture in the attachment. Can someone help me? I've tried superoneclick, one click root, the bin4ry method, I've also tried installing a custom recovery through ROM manager and several other ways and I get the same result? This is driving me crazy because almost half of my apps require root access and now they are useless!
I've looked, I've tried. I apologize in advance if I am bothering anyone with my question.
My phone (Galaxy s 4g- T-mobile) has been rooted via oneclick. twice. The first time, I was running stock ota gingerbread 2.3.6 as soon as I rooted, CWM recovery was installed no problems. After switching roms a couple days after root... something went wrong! I fixed my brick using odin and got back to stock 2.2.1 which is where I am now, rooted.
I've attempted to use Kies (before root) No go.
I've attempted to use Odin to upgrade, No go.
I've attempted to use Hemidall. No go.
I've also attempted to do everything manually. -Download new kernel (to obtain cwm) and flashing from within the stock recovery, no go...
I've read, I've searched... I just can not seem to figure it out.
ANY help is appreciated...
Also! I've read something about getting a generic imei number through rooting/flashing/recovery and when I check for my imei under settings, I don't see one. But, I can use my phone no problems. and when I check via dial pad, It pops up.. I DID back up my esf when I first rooted, but no imei seems to be in it... idk
Thank you in advance. :fingers-crossed:
Read through the first and second link in my signature. Then use the second link to flash GB.
Thank you!! I am on GB finally! Now getting back to root... lol :laugh:
