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?
Can someone shed some light onto what needs to be done to un-root a custom ROM? Basically I have a crappy old phone which I decided to repurpose for working with an MDM solution my company is using(Citrix Worx Home/Zenprise). I can't use the stock ROM because it's Gingerbread which is not supported by the Citrix app, so I had to flash CM9 on the phone.
The problem is that the app checks for root access. I tried using some tools like "Hide my Root" without success. Even if the SU app is removed, the root detection still triggers.
So I am looking for generic steps of what can be done to remove root access from a ROM which came rooted. Doing a search the only posts I find are more relevant to people who want to return to stock ROM and not unroot a custom ROM. Are there other things that need to be modified besides removing the SuperUser apk?
Try this app..

Costs a little but hope it's worth for it

Ok so I am kind of a noob at androids and I just started learning some interesting stuff. Anyways I managed to unlock my boatloader, root my phone, and flash the cyanogen 10.2 rom. I was enjoying my changes until one day I made a big mistake, i accidentally downloaded chainfire's superSU from the app store. I guess this interfered with cyanogen mod's native root. So i realized my accident and deleted it, only one problem, it took my root access with it. I have tried many ways to regain root but I simply can't. Would someone please help me, any help would be appreciated. Also i am running android 4.3 and my build number is xt897.

Hi everyone,
I need some help on my phone (CM Flare 2.1). I accidentally factory reset it, and has lost it's root privileges. I tried rooting it many times with different tools, and still can't root it. The last one I used was the Root Master app. It rooted my phone but every reboot removes the root. Every time I reboot my phone, I root it again with the app. Anyone know my phone's problem?
Please use [ROOT] Framaroot, a one-click apk to root some devices
to root your device. You may wish to follow the Video in the post #726
Please post in that thread if you still have issues.
Hello XDA-Devs.
I'm a new user here on the forums, the reason I signed up is because I've been searching for a way to root my Chinese phone, (Cubot Rainbow).
I've tried so many ways to root it from one click root apps to most apps available on PC. I was wondering, if there is a way that one of you lovely members could share it with me. I'd me very grateful.
Thank you,

Well, I haven't ever heard of the manufacturer so I doubt there'd be any one-click root apps which are compatible with your device. Is there a custom recovery for your device, though? If so, you could flash the SuperSU binary zip.
Hello did you manage to make root the CUBOT rainbow? I've tried all sorts of ways, and I managed to right maybe someone knows a way? Thanks in advance
