ok i have come accross this but i am a little lost at the steps
wiki.rootzwiki.com/index.php/Motorola_Flipside
it says to download 3 files psneuter busybox and super user unzip the downloads into the same folder. then it says to open a terminal and change to the folder i dont understand this what am i suposed to to? it then says i need android sdk installed and working witch i do i installed it for android screencast. then it says adb devices but does not say how im suposed to enter this command. after that im fairly sure its from the cmd entering the commands shown on that link. can anyone tell me how to get throgh the first few steps please?

Manual Root
[edit] Download
psneuter: Download
Superuser: Download
busybox: Download
Unzip the downloaded files into the same folder
Open a terminal and change to the folder.
You need the android SDK and ADB working. To make sure type:
adb devices
if your device lists, then you are ready to go!
[edit] Gain Root
Run the following commands:
adb push psneuter /data/local/temp/psneuter
adb shell
chmod 755 /data/local/temp/psneuter
./data/local/temp/psneuter
ADB should hang, wait a little while and then type:
adb shell
NOTE: You should have the "#" sign instead of the "$". If you do, you have temporary root, and can continue on.
Type:
exit
adb push busybox /data/local/temp/busybox
adb shell
chmod 755 /data/local/temp/busybox
./data/local/temp/busybox mount -o rw,remount /system
The last command should return nothing

update i learned how to do the procedure and finished sucesfully however the phone is still not rooted. i did reboot the phone after it seems faster now but not rooted.i downloaded the root checker app and scaned the phone it emailed me a log and here is that log

is it even posible to root this phone?

i guess im not allowed to be helped or somthing.

i have a procedure here that i had to build up from 2 seperate write ups. i had to use this one http://androidforums.com/droid-all-...oid-without-rsd-lite-up-including-frg83d.html along with this one together http://wiki.rootzwiki.com/index.php/Motorola_Flipside to get it to root properly.
here is what i did. u will need the downloads from both links for this to work i beleive. follow the steps from the second link to gain root once u get to where the number simbole is shown in the command line u need to switch to the instructions in link 1 and start at step 13 and follow to the end. this works to root your flipside when nothing els will work at least for me it did none of the apps that are suposed to root for you worked for me.
thank you me for having to figure this out on my own have fun

Problem rooting
I rooted my Flipside at its stock state and it worked fine. And then I upgraded my software to 2.2.2 Froyo and lost the root so now I am trying to reinstall z4root and re-root the phone but z4root now doesn't work. It gets successfully installed but when I hit PERMANENT ROOT it just stays in that window with the turning wheel and gets stuck there. It doesn't completely root. I've tried the hard reset by pulling the battery, and hitting the back key and forced closing it and then trying it again. Nothing works! HELP!

I once had a flipside. I rooted it the stock rom and then updated to gingerbread and then rooted again. I used superoneclick though. I'm not sure which version, but there is (or was) a flipside forum here on xda with documentation on the entire process.

Really? I thought the only upgrade I can do to it is from stock to Froyo. How'd you do that? I'm sorry. I am totally untechie. :/

OMG I can´t Root!!!

Hello guys,
So, I am extremely frustrated with LG. Besides linger for a lifetime upgrade their phones, yet it seems to create some blocking to simple process root.
I've been researching on the web about the root of Optimus Black (the unit is good, what is bad is the LG) and all processes seem to be complicated.
I need help from you guys to see if I can finally give this blessed root to my device. He is with version 2.3.4 (just the model is P970h),the firmware is the V20a. I Want to apply a custom rom and play with it a bit, since LG has not given up any indicative of whether or not to launch the ICS on it (maybe who knows when Google launched Android 12.1, or the man get to Mars. ..)
I have faced some problems and I will report here to see if they can help me.
Problem # 1:
I can not under any circumstances recognize the phone on my pc (win vista home basic ¬ ¬).
I've tried everything. I downloaded the drivers directly with LG and nothing ... I downloaded the personnel that provided the xda forum and nothing ...The windows is insistently asking such a CDC serial driver (something of the sort ...) and the phone just not recognized.
Already installed, reinstalled the drivers and nothing! I have installed the LG PC sync and nothing to .. (Seems that my phone and my pc just does not want to share the same connection!)
I don´t have another pc (unfortunately) so I can´t install the drivers.
Simply for this reason I can´t install Clockworkmod, or do any procedure that requires root install drivers on pc (root unlock, blackjack, oneclick...)
2nd Problem:
I've been reading that there is a apk root tools for the phone, the Gingerbreak. But apparently this not works on my phone. It is infinitely loading and does not reboot.
I installed the 1.1 and 1.2 versions and nothing!
I run the Root Checker Pro App and get the log:

So can anybody help me to root my phone??

Don't have an LG, i have an Samsung and rooted with this app SuperOneClick (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=803682), and searching through the forum i saw this thread ( http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=22495442&highlight=optimus+black#post22495442 ), a user that succeeded root of an Lg Optimus Black.
But I only have an Samsung so I can't guarantee that will work.

So,
I can´t connect my phone to my pc... I don´t know why!!

Anyone can help me?
Sent from my GT-P6800 using xda app-developers app

Here's what I did.
I was having the same problem, seemingly. I went to Android Central and learned about an app called kingo root.
First, I went to LG and downloaded the drivers for USB connection to my Win7 64 PC. After they loaded, I made sure the E980 was configured to install programs from PC via USB, instead of charge only. Also, I set debugging on. Then, I hooked up the USB cable. Then, a window came up asking if I wanted to use LG Programs, which I replied OK. Then it said I was connected successfully. Went to the PC, installed kingo root (google it) and it ran a program or two that rooted the device. Piece o' cake!
Since then, I downloaded freegee and twrp, rebooted into recovery and installed CM11. KitKat goodness!

[Q] Corrupted root?

Let me start this acknowledging my own idiocy. I have been rooted for a long time this morning I think I screwed myself. My S3 has been prompting me for the OTA and I have been ignoring it. However this morning when my alarm when off, my blind groping to shut it off ended up initiating the OTA. The update took, and as expected, I lost my root.
I didn't have a custom ROM so I decided all I need is my root back and life will be fine. I looked up how to root with the 4.3 update and came across the safe root method. I went through this process and everything went smoothly until the reboot. Once the phone came back up I tried to run SuperSU and was met with the message that "Installation Failed! Reboot and try again." Several attempts at rebooting, uninstalling, and rerunning safe root changed nothing.
I ran a terminal emulator and tried to run /system/bin/su and was greeted with an error. I then tried to run /system/xbin/su and got the prompt from SuperSU to grant root access. I approved and when I open SuperSU I can see terminal emulator is on the list approved applications (although it still crashes when trying to update).
I decided to try Root Checker to see what it had to say and got this output:
>Root Access is not properly configured or was not granted.

Quickest way is backup all your stuff, do a factory reset, then Odin this factory ML1 firmware http://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=23269279319199798 ..then try to root again with saferoot.

[Resolved] [Q] Help needed rooting G Pro! T_T

*Since this problem can happen to other LG devices, I'm writing here.
-Summarized Question for Busy XDAers-
1.Installed su binary and busybox through Android System Recovery 3e.
2.Can get root access from LG Recovery mode, half access on ordinary boot+adb shell, Permission denied on terminal emulator app. SuperSu not working, and 'root' is granting permission every 5 minutes.
3.HELP PLEASE!
-Full Question-
Maybe it can be a real noobish question, but I need help rooting my G Pro.
LG started Kitkat update a week ago, and G Pro also got Kitkat update.
I tried to root my device using old methods, and new methods for other G devices, but none of them worked.
So! I tried making one for me, using Android System Recovery 3e(maybe it could be a problem?)
I booted my device to recovery using
Code:
'adb reboot recovery'
and sideloaded zip file containing su binary and busybox.
Of course I signed it with testkey, so I could get SuperSu, su binary, and busybox installed on my system.
But, after rebooting my device, I felt something went wrong.
I typed
Code:
'su'
command on terminal enulator, and got
Code:
'Permission Denied'
error.
Assuming it's related to permission and owner of su binary, I tried
Code:
ls -al /system/bin/su
.
Here's the result:
Code:
[email protected]:/ $ su
Permission denied
1|[email protected]:/ $ ls -al /system/bin/su
-rwsr-sr-x root root 85096 2008-08-01 21:00 su
It seems...nothing's wrong!
So I tried with adb, and got # without asking Superuser app.
But I couldn't mount system, as well as other commands require root access.
I removed SuperSu and downloaded Superuser by ChainsDD, but that didn't work.
Instead, I could see on log that 'root' was granting permission every 5 minutes.
Not knowing what the problem is, I rebooted device to LG recovery(diffrent from Android Recovery 3e).
I could access adb from there, and got root access and removed some garbage apps.
Then, it means su binary and busybox is working.
What is the problem??? Please help!
EDIT:It was binary version problem lol

[Q] Big Part&OMNI no more root (need 2 backup 2 change my Xoom to SAMSUNG Q9050 12.2

[Q] Big Part&OMNI no more root (need 2 backup 2 change my Xoom to SAMSUNG Q9050 12.2
since I changed to BIG PART and OMNI i have 4.4.2 which is awesome but my Xoom Verizon doesn't show rooted anymore for Titanium Backup or any other Root app (even root checker pro tells me i am not rooted)
anyway my question is:
i am thinking of buying Samsung Q9050 (12.2" Tablet) how can i backup all of my games and apps and even system (like my wallpapers etc...) since i cannot use Titanium Backup
i know i can dump all of the Xoom on my PC but how to restore them and how to know which apps to restore since i can't see the folders containing my games , apps, etc..)
hope to get help.
Cheers,
Roger
P.S.: wot do u think about the Samsung Q9050 2.3 Ghz 12.2"?

You need to flash SU in recovery, once that is done you will be rooted and can backup with titanium backup. OmniROM doesn't come with root included

I did flash SU many times (SU 1.86) it actually comes in the OmniROM thread where i flashed my XOOM
http://forum.xda-developers.com/sho...tmctr=(not provided)&__utmv=-&__utmk=22130616
is there an SU u recommend? btw i cannot seem to download an SU i can only Install an SU (from google play store) - where can i actually D/L an SU in order to b able to place on SD and flash?
(in the thread we download:
Download Root
UPDATE-SuperSU-v1.86.zip)
tx a lot for the help;
and another dumb question - if i'm able to use titanium backup i can basically restore any backed up app on any android device right? whether it's a fone or tablet right? reason i ask is my xoom is the only android i use
