Im a complete noob Here..
Just bought my LG P500 android phone with 2.2.1 froyo stock..
I want to root my phone as a start to Open VPN
I've done my research and ended with gingerbreak...
Im on Chainfires thread and It says "format the SD card"
Doesnt that mean erasing everything on my sd card?? will that affect the phone or system??
Im really sorry for this pure noob question... But I just want to be sure..
Thank you...
Just rooted my phone..
i cant root my micromax funbook which runs on ics 4.0.3.. i googled it and many ppl used sparkyroot to root their funbook but when i run it on my funbook it says no exploit file is found. anybody hv any idea how can i root my device.. thanks in advance
i m very new to android world by the way
if yu r very new to android world then I must tell you that your tablet is pre rooted ..... To use the root function just search super user app in the play store and install .....

Unable to root funbook
Hey guys! I have been trying for many days now but i am unable to root my funbook...
Tried sparky tool but it shows exploit files not found...
Tried something like nova tool to flash recovery.img, but again with no result when i tap on flash recovery, it shows a pop up message 'flash recovery' and nothing happens after tha...
Tried to root it using pc but here againg i couldnt do it...
Many people here say that micromax funbook come pre-rooted... yes that is what root check tool also shows but the fact is that it is not pre-rooted or at least not properly rooted as not any app is able to get root access... ( i have busybox installed)
Plz help me....

1- you should port other phone's rom to your phone and then flash it.. only then will you be able to use that rom on your phone..
2- Google stock rom/original firmware <your phone 'name> .. if its available on the internet then you will find one.. or else you will need to do a nandroid backup or extract it..
3- there is no general rom which works on all phones rightaway.. there is cyanogenmod which is by far available for all phones (don't know about Chinese phones) .. but you will have to do some tweaks or modification to work on a specific phone because different phones have different hardwares..
4-4.1.2 is jb and not ics.. you will have to put cm10 or probably delete the bloatware installed by your supplier..
5- as i said before you need to port cm9 for your phone.. there are many noob friendly guides on xda to help porting roms.. check out

Best thing you could do is find a similar device to your phone's spec's and find a Rom you like from that phone and then port it to your phone using the many noob friendly guides in chef central

try srsroot,unlock root,z4 root.. if you're not getting your Rom you extract it yourself. I think before porting any Rom,you have to figure out root for your phone because NO CUSTOM ROM WILL WORK WITHOUT ROOT.. try srsroot, it has rooted many unconventional devices also.. Google srsroot,download it from their official website and try..
so i tryed all thos methods...

does your phone has locked bootloader or UNlocked one?
I have a same problem...any ideas?
How good are these phones?
very good phones
A suggestion...
I'm not 100 % you can do it but there is a slight chance you can root your phone through fastboot ! Maybe pushing the su binary and apk through adb and giving permissions or maybe flasing a custom CWM Rrecovery through fastboot and flashing an SU flashable zip through that recovery !
BUT be awere BOTH of these methods are BIG MAYBE ! I can not test and I can not ensure you any of these will work !
You can get a flashable SU package here :
1) Superuser : http://androidsu.com/superuser/
2) Super SU : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1538053
you can
yes you can
i know page on Facebook that support me to root my device and install cmw
Chinese smart phone support
I used this to root my i9400, hope it helps!

Hi !
I have a old Xperia X10 Mini PRO (a.k.a. U20i) and it has very old firmware (2.1 froyo) and many apps and games are not working on it, so I want to install a custom ROM. I am NOT new to rooting and flashing roms but there is a problem : many of you know that the U20i has a problem : its usb slot brokes easy, and sadly I broke it. Now, to install a custom ROM I need CWM Recovery, and to install it I need ROOT.
And here is the problem : if the usb slot is not working means I can't use software as One Click Root, and I need to do this directly on the phone. I heard of "Z4root" but I am afraid to use it, because last time when I used it on my tablet, the internal and external storage was shown to be 0 (zero).
And here is the question: Have anybody rooted a U20i before using Z4root ? If so, you had any problems with it ?
Thanks and sorry for bad english
