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,
highmighty

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

@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?

[q] need help with superoneclick please!!!!!

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

I haven't tried that but will it work because I am not rooted and I need help with superoneclick

What are the settings / steps that you are using in Super One Click?

[Q] Rooting the 8" Pandigital Supernova

I have been unable to root the Pandigital Supernova. I've tried everything I can find on the net to accomplish this, but I've had no success. I've tried the Gingerbreak.apk, OpenNova-ROOT-Spz0-v.1.0.update, and the market-3.0.26-update - all to no avail.
Could someone please explain how to root this device? I'd appreciate any suggestions /help. The tablet came with the IR80_S_BN_W_F_B_09282011 Firmware, and I tried all mods I could find on that version. Then I upped the FW to the new IR80_S_BN_W_A_A_12152011 version, repeated the attempts and still was unsuccessful to get SU. I really would love to get Google Market on the device, primarily to get a Netflix viewer but also for other 'sandbox' things to play with.
Help, please.

Can't root Motorola Droid Ultra

Hey guys,
Recently I tried to root my Motorola Droid Ultra using MotoRoot and the way it works is that you download it from xda dev. and side load the apk onto your phone. You then run the setup inside the app and then the phone is rooted. I am very familiar with the rooting process but the thing is whenever I try to install moto root it says application not installed and I have checked and made sure that I can install apps from unknown sources and sure enough I can. I tried installing the apk through ADB too but it still gives me the same message it says application not installed. I have even turned off verify apps but it still doesn't work I have also enabled developer options but still not budging same message every time. What am I doing wrong??? I need help.
Helpful info: This phone was purchased in Early December 2013 so it's pretty new but what happened was when I got the handset I tried to root it but it gave me the same message then 1 day later after I bought it the phone randomly shuts off and I can't even get into the bootloader or go into recovery so it was basically dead and there was nothing I could do about it so I went back to Verizon 2 days after I bought the original handset and they replace it with another droid ultra and everything works fine but I still can't root it :crying:

I'm having the same problem. I messaged jcase about it to see if he maybe had any answers as to how to fix these issues such as the failure to install or did not download messages. The was a quick and easy one as well that I had mentioned in the message. The response I got was useless. He told me he was **** with windows and easy guides so I should wait till someone makes a windows version of the hack so that I can download it and root... I have games and stuff that I want to hack and bloat I want to get rid of.. Now I'm being told that I need to wait on a windows version of the rooting system to be made so that I can do all this... Why hasn't anyone done this yet? Idk mang but I have the same problem as you and no one is making our lives easier. Hopefully someone else reads this and respond with something that is of help. Post here if you find any solutions and I'll do the same.

Are you on 4.2.2? If so, the only way to root at the moment is to follow the pwnmymoto steps 100% PERFECTLY. And when you say you tried using ADB do you mean you tried to push the files(pwnmymoto.jar + su) to your sd using ADB and then use telnet and all that fun crap? This link: forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2444954
Anyways, but if your phone's version is less than 4.2.2 I believe the app should install as a normal one would.

I just finished rooting it with RockMyMoto without a problem I didn't think that RockMyMoto was for the droid ultra I thought it was only for the MOTO X

Don't attempt to root a phone until you've read the instructions completely. Things go easier if you read the entire thread, even if it takes a while.
Of course, it's important to read the beginning of the thread... like the first post, which says you must be on 4.2.2 (the camera update).

root.verizon motorola xt1080 4.4.4 without pc?
Is there any way to root my verizon motorola droid ultra xt1080 4.4.4 without a pc? I have tried at least 15 different applications that all claim to be able to unlock or root my phone but none were succedsful. The motoroot app tries to install but that doesnt seem to work either. Help help. These google play game notifications are pissing me off. Ive already cleared all of my apps to factory restore and changed all of settings with google and such. What can i do to unlock, jailbreak and/or root my damn phone? Sorry for the language. Im just frustrated

Sorry, but unless it's a dev edition there is no known root method for 4.4.4 with or without a pc.

I could rootear my phone droid xt1080 verison with the program kingroot using PC version only for a few minutes. but I served to remove very persistent malwares. I would love to unlock the bootloader to switch to cyanogenmod but it seems impossible. probe by many means. sorry for my bad English.

same... is there any other method to permanent root

[Q] Trying to recover deleted etxts on an HTC Inspire 4G

I'm trying to recover some deleted messages on this phone and got a program called Vibosoft Dr. Mobile for android. The phone needs to be rooted first. I tried to find any info on rooting and ran into some problems. I d/led and installed JDK and Android studio bundle. The program I tried using to root was superoneclick and it got some of the way through and then stopped. Can anyone help out a new user?
First off can I actually recover the deleted messages if they have not been written over yet?
Second is there a better way to root the phone without actually messing it up?
Advice would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks!

Try kingoroot
