I have a LG-C55 smartphone from Telus running Android 2.2.2.
I want to root the phone and possibly install newer Android firmware on the device. I have done research and have found no information whatsoever.

Install LG USB Drivers
Download SuperOneClick 2.2.3 (google for it)
Run SuperOneCLick with the Auto mode selected
That worked for me. I'm still hunting for a custom ROM, though...

Rooting Android 2.2.1

After some searching I found out that it's apparently impossible to root an Android device with Android 2.2.1.
Now I'm in desperate need to install milk's touchscreen lag fix, so I need to root.
So I ask,
Is there a method to root 2.2.1? If not, how does one downgrade to 2.2 and would it cause any problems?
DEVICE: LG P500 (Optimus one)

[Q] Newbie help Rooting Galaxy S I9000

Hi all
Firstly I apologise if this is in the wrong forum as im new to the site, I have searched the forums and followed all instructions supplied on how to root the Galaxy S 2.2 using the oneclick method. All goes well but after I apply the fix in recovery mode I keep getting an error E:signature verification failed Installation aborted.
Im just wondering if im doing anything wrong, as I said I have searched through the forums but I cannot find a solution to my problem.
I have just recently got the phone and its on Vodafone UK, all was fine at start until i started to install apps and now it just keeps freezing and lagging big time. below is the details of firmware etc.
Thanks in advance.

Baseband Version I9000BUJP5
Kernal Version 2.6.32.9 root SE-S611 #1
Build Number FROYO.BUJP7
I only rooted mine the other day. everyone was telling me to do it through my pc but i just couldnt do it. so i entered z4root into google on my phone and went to the android version and found a download there and put it straight onto my phone. took 2 mins. hope this helps.
danny
I have downloaded that z4root but was told the oneclick was easier, does this z4root have all the files necessary to root the phone or do i need to download anything extra to root the phone.

Have you had any luck with this yet.? Ive been trying to find out more but every single time soneone asks they never get a answer coz its always the next question that does lol. Its all JVO this or JVP that or JVQ whatever however it aint helping us when we have numbers on the end.just if someone could explain the difference..im guessing its versions of the firmware kind of..Im sure JVO was Froyo but does our GB JV end with Q or P? so why not say JVQ5 or JVP5 instead be easier for us noobs to understand quicker without bothering others or be told off for it already been asked even though i cant find anything coherent lol

My gf has the same phone (also on Koodo) and so far I haven't succeeded in rooting it. Gingerbreak hangs, superoneclick hangs at step 6 like I've seen for many other people, and Z4Root didn't work either.
I've seen some pleople claim that gingerbreak worked on their C555 but it hasn't for me on my many attempts.
It succeeded on the first try for my Optimus One but that was running 2.2.1.

firmware LGC555
Found this damn original firmware link to use with KDZ.
EDIT: Cannot post url as a new member, what you need to know is:
swdata/WEBSW/LGC555/AKDOAQ/V10d_00/V10D_00.kdz
I can finally start experimenting with the LGC555.
If anyone else has already done something, I strongly encourage them to share.
Hi there, where you able of installing another firmware into your LG-C555? If so, I surely would like to know how you did it!!
Here's some info you might be interested reading:
The LG Updater tool detects my phone properly and tells me that I'm running the latest (V10D) firmware for this LG-C555 phone. I need to reinstall this version V10D of the firmware or even a previous one but I'm unable because I can't choose ANY firmware, I can't "upgrade", it tells me that everything is OK with the phone but it is not and that's why I want to "upgrade/change" the firmware of this phone
Is there a way I could "break" the internal firmware hoping that the LG Updater would then allow me to install the latest one (V10D) on it?
For your information, my LG-C555 is network unlocked & rooted and currently runs Android 2.2.
Since I need to change the internal firmware I went ahead and tried Gingerbreak (version 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 the .apk normally, the installation started but never ended, it stayed in an infinite loop (more than 1 hour)... I had to reboot for those 3 attemps
What can I do next if I only want to "change" the internal firmware of this phone?
Thank you for your time,
highmighty
SuperOneClick works for LG-C555
I Just ran SuperOneClick using the Auto option and it worked perfectly. Exact same specs as you (phone is from Koodo Canada as well)

Android Version: 2.2.2
Kernel: 2.6.32.9
Build Number: FRG83
Software Version: LG-C555-V10d
i didnt have any problems rooting the LG-C555 with superoneclick not a hitch
I know it's an old thread... anyhow I managed to root my Telus Optimus Chat with the SuperOneClick 2.3.3 but then I cannot find a way to backup my stock rom and find any custom rom that this compatible with this POS phone! Everything seem to be only for expensive phones.. please help?
Does anyone have the KDZ or link for this phone?

[Q] Root Huawei U8681 (G312)

Just got a new phone, wanted to root it, didn't want it bricked.
I have the Java SDK and Android SDK ready to go. Downloaded Superoneclick.
Haven't seen any info about successful Huawei roots, so I just wanted to check and make sure it's safe.
Running Android 4.0.3 from WIND Mobile.
I've done this before with a Motorola XT720 running 2.1, never with a Huawei device or anything running ICS
Can I do this or will it brick my phone?
Thanks
Anybody???
I know there is a compatibility list with SuperOneClick and I don't want to brick my device.
I have the same question. Apparently our phone is quite the rarity and only 2 or 3 carriers in the world sell it.
I found the method:

LG g4 Stylo (H635) root on 6.0 Android

Hello,
I would like to ask if there is some safe method to root this phone? On 6.0 I downloaded newest kingroot application and ended up like that:

Simply by having secure boot error by after restarting the phone.

Rooting is never safe.

On phone: settings->phone info->update->software update, or if your phone is rooted use lg bridge

God, my first phone without root on latest version, without custom roms and without unlocked bootloader :/
Yea so... I'm on my H635 G4 Stylus, android 6.0 and I tried everything to root it and nothing works. When I was on 5.1.1 I was able to root it with King(o)Root but when I restarted the phone, the root went away. Now I even tried to flash old KDZ file with android 5.1.1 and LG Flash Tool 2014 says some error and LG UP cannot recognize the phone. And i researched ALL the possibilities to make LG UP and Flash Tool work but still can't recognize it. So that means that I cannot downgrade the phone. Then I tried to root this 6.0 android I have and tried all sorts of things and no results. When I tried to root it with OneClickRoot it said that the root is currently unavailable but they will notify me as soon as they get it working. I even tried LG Root script. I mean... This phone has only 8gb of storage and 4 gigs is system only... Of course I have a memory card inside but this solves nothing. I wish this phone would finally be rootable because I want to hide those soft keys cause they looks stupid (there is app that hides them but its not "legit", the root version of the app is what I want) and delete some of the system apps.... And it would be cool that somebody would make something like slim rom that would be like 1gb in size. It's just not fun having it and I know this phone is very capable if someone spent a little bit of their time on this device. I'm so unhappy...
Did you find a way to root - im seraching, too
I still need this so do others please someone make something
