Alright so I'm messing around with my roommates Backflip trying to get the root to work. I used the method over on Unlockr and the procedure seemed to work fine. Everything that i did matched up with the instructions. Now after a reboot Superuser is all messed up. I installed Root Explorer and Superuser wont let me open it. I don't even get the option to allow or deny. What gives?? Any help would be greatly appreciated. Oh, and it's runnin 2.1.
thanks for your help guys, but I figured it out...Z4Root fixed the issue.
Hi guys, I have a LG Optimus Chat (LG-C550) and I would like to root but I can't find anything in the web about that new device.. so I hope you can help me in that way!

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?
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

Thank You, I will let you know what happens.
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?!?
