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?

[Q] Viewpad 4 rooting problem

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.

Looking for help and cant find info so far

I am trying my best to find the info i need but so far keep failing. I am trying to root a buddies tablet for him. It is an Ematic Eglide EGLXL102B. I have tried googling for the method(s) to use but come up empty handed, I also have tried finding a rom that is already rooted and found none of them either. :crying: IF ANYONE knows what I need to get this rooted and where I can get a rom for it, please message me and let me know. Thanks for your time of at least reading this post.

I don't have any direct information available, but instead of searching by device name, search by the current Android version of the device. You may find a generic method that will work. Rooting for some devices can be trial and error until a successful method is found.

Thanks for the input. I will try your idea and see what I can find.

You might try looking here. I hope it helps.

To root you need to make sure you can atleast get CWM on it, if you can't get CWM on it, then rooting is out of the question. Google's auth has somewhat changed in the few months.

[Q] Root ZTE Rapido Lte

I have the ZTE Rapido Lte from straight talk and was wondering if anyone has found a way to root this phone yet. I have tried program after program and no avail. I am on android 4.1.2. Please any help would be greatly appreciated.

ZTE Rapido
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.

Rooting Via_S7_3G Tablet?

I'm trying to root my tablet, which is in Android 5.1.1.
I tried Kingoroot, I tried Kingroot, I even tried the computer app, but they did not work.
Without putting a new ROM, how can I do it?

Still no help. Do I really have to make a quick reply to my own thread if I want someone to help me?

STILL no help. Why I cannot get help?!?
