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.

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?
Hello to all;
i tried hard to root the device by superoneclick and it went well and i get all ok in the logs and it said your
device has been rooted but i had only a superuser program installed. with no root.
nothing happened.
i posted here if anyone could help and give a howto or even a hint for it.
thanks alot
Hello,
I recently bought an Energy Sistem Tablet i10 16GB ( I couldnt post the link because of the new user thing)
It came with gingerbread and I upgraded to JB 4.1. I want to root the tablet but I just cant get it done... I have tried ZergRush, Superoneclick, Gingerbreak but none of those work.
Asides from that am not really very savy with flashing and installing custom roms, I have only managed to root a couple of phones and play around with the apks...
Any help is greatly appreciated....
Sorry if this is in the wrong forum, I couldnt find any other that suited the subject and the tablet model...
Thanks!
Could someone point me in the proper direction please.
I have a little experience with phones, but it has room to improve. I have flashed and rooted phones in the past but have never had to deal with a phone that doesn't have a stock or custom rom available.
I currently have 2 (Boost Mobile) Alcatel One Touch Conquest 7046t.
One is working properly and is not rooted. The other one is soft bricked into a bootloop from trying to root with KingRoot then swapping out the superuser with supersu-me.
The stock root for this phone is not available. I've searched and searched to no avail.
Can I use the working phone to create a flash file (backup file from good phone) to restore the bootlooped phone? Might it even be possible to extract a stock rom from the working phone?
ANY ideas or suggestions on where to go from here would be extremely helpful.

Hello,
Thanks for using XDA Assist.
Yeah!That's somewhat possible.If you have a custom recovery,then it's easy.You can use to make a backup of the system files and then flash it to the other phone from the recovery.
If you don't have it,read this.

Thank you! It gives me a starting point.
Ok so i have a Samsung Galaxy J100Vpp and i finally figured out a way through kingroot to root my phone, but now that its rooted i have discovered that i my device is not compatible with CWM recovery or TWRP to be able to flash custom roms or anything. im trying to find a recovery app i can install to be able to learn how to flash custom ROM's and all that cause i know nothing except now how to root my device thats it. The whole point in me rooting my phone was to speed it up and prolong battery life but more than that to be able to customize my device. someone plz help me
