I give up. Click on the recovery howto in my signature and flash custom recovery. After that, flash a rooted ROM. If you dislike this advice, then kindly search harder. People generally get irritated when then are answering the same questions 10 times a day because people are too lazy.
superoneclick (gingerbreak exploit) work for me on stock V20c, check this thread:

Hi guys, regarding the problem about rooting the original GB, it can be done, and it's not that complicated.
First of all there are a couple of things that you have to consider before starting to root.
1. Be sure that you have installed the original V20G GB ROM.
2. if you have it installed and tried different methods to root on it do a factory reset before trying this one.
3. Be absolutely sure that you have all the drives installed when working with the phone in USB debugging mode, if not install them.
4. Download SuperOneClickv1.9.5-ShortFuse, after download extract the files into a folder with the same name as the archive.
5. After you extracted the files, go to C:\Windows\System32 and copy the cmd.exe to the folder where you extracted the files, in my case C:\Users\myuser\Desktop\SuperOneClickv1.9.5-ShortFuse\ADB.
6. Connect the phone to the PC with Debugging mode (Enter the phone settings menu, to the Development and tick the USB debugging mode)
7. right click on cmd.exe from the ADB folder, Run as administrator, than write:
adb devices (after this command you should see your device id)
adb shell
echo 1 > /data/local/lge_adb.conf,
Do not close the window, live it like that.
8. Start SuperOneClick.exe, leave the settings to the SuperOneClick as they are when it opens, click on ROOT and wait, it will say Starting ADB server..., than it will do it's job and than it will appear Waiting for device... it will say ok and that if it freezes while running psneuter do the following:
a. Turn USB Debugging OFF wait until it will appear in the window again Starting ADB server..., after that,
b. Turn USB Debugging ON, and after this trick it will start rooting.
This is the method that i did twice and it worked like a charm.
After this it will ask you to reboot the phone, DO NOT FORGET, and after the reboot click on the SuperUser icon in the phone's menu. it will aks you if you allow or deny it's access. click allow. After this you must connect to the internet via Wireless or a apn, click on the superuser icon again if you exit it, go to settings, scroll down and you will see Su Binary v.XXXX, click on that to update it, than go to market and search the super user app and update it. Also update busybox. After this you have root access and you can install a custom recovery. Also you can install your preferred Kernel if you don't like the stock one.
If you do not get the Allow Deny message the root was not completed successfully. do a factory reset and try again the same steps.
see images attached as proof.
Well, I installed V20 C via doktornotor method but couldn root it by flashing the signed su binary via recovery.
So I tried the above mentioned method and it worked. But every time the Superuser Force closes and its too buggy.. Any solutions. ?
Yes, same here, i tried doktornotor's method both 20C and 20G and didnt work, this Super1click works but su force closes everytime Any ideeas??
====================EDIT============================
I managed to root gingerbread with doktornotor's method V20g
Just use his image, BUT dont use su-2.3.6.3-cd-signed.zip
Download from here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1110733 su-2.3.6.2-efgh-signed.zip and install it wia clockworkmod recovery zip installer and works like a charm

Should I type the comma at the end on cmd? Can you please explain what exactly the above command does? Does it create the above file on the above filepath on device? If I typed both
echo 1 > /data/local/lge_adb.conf
and
echo 1 > /data/local/lge_adb.conf,
should I erase one of these files?
Without comma.

Hi,
Actually I want root my LG Optimus One .I have INDIA phone with official V20c Rom. Can anybody help me how to root my phone without any risk of bricking it. I have also read many thread about rooting 2.3.3 through super one click {like this one h**p://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1200167} but people were saying something about force close errors... So can anybody provide me a successful and error free method of rooting it. and Please also share me the method to unroot it.
Thanks in advance.
I've read in a topic that I can't find, that after rooting usb debugging should always be on and disabling it could cause problems. I can't remember what kind of problems. Is that true? Should I keep it enabled?
Ok im pretty sure my phone is rooted coz it said in the superuser log root-allowed so yes thnx for helping me root my phone, now install custom recovery bla blah and then rom install

[GUIDE] ROOT and CWM Recovery for Impulse 4G

NOTE: I take no credit for SuperOneClick, or the actual guide. I simply found it, simplified it, and reposed here. Thanks goes to CLShortFuse for SuperOneClick, and all the members at XDA-Developers, specifically in the Huawei Ideos x5 forum.
Also, I am not responsible for any bricked devices, loss of data, zombie infections, Rage fits, or thermonuclear warfare caused by this guide. Oh, and also, if you succeed, your warranty is now void. PLEASE follow the instructions to a T.
This guide is for Windows PCs. I don't have any guide for Linux or Mac, sorry.
This guide will teach you how to root and install ClockWorkMod Recovery your AT&T Impulse 4G, also known as the Huawei Impulse 4G.
PRE-ROOT REQUIREMENTS:
Put the device in ADB mode (Settings\Applications\Development\check USB Debugging)
STEP 1
Plug device into computer and let the drivers install.
CHECK to make sure the ADB driver installed (Right click "Computer" and click Manage, and click Device Manager) If 'Ideos' is in 'Other Devices', you will need to start at Step 2. If 'Android Composite ADB Interface' shows up in 'Android Phone', you are good to go to Step 3)
STEP 2 (Ideos in Other Devices)
When the device was plugged in, 'CD Drive (E:\) Mobile Partner' should have popped up for AutoPlay. If it did not, check 'Computer' to see if it has. If it hasn't, unplug the device and plug it back in. Once it shows up, go back into Device Manager from Step 1 and right click 'Ideos' in 'Other Devices' and select 'Update Driver'. Click on Install Driver Manually instead of Searh Online and browse to E:\drivers. This will install the ADB drivers needed to root.
STEP 3 (ADB Drivers Installed, now to root)
Now that your device has ADB drivers installed and working, download SuperOneClick v2.1 from http://forum.xda-developers.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=674200&d=1312258565
Extract all the files into a folder, and run SuperOneClick with Admin permissions (right click SuperOneClick, select Run as Administrator)
After SuperOneClick opens, simply click the 'Root' button on the top.
NOTE: It may freeze up a few times, as if it stopped responding. That is normal.
As it goes through its process, it will eventually stop and tell you 'busybox is not installed. Install?' Hit yes, and yes to all the other prompts. At the end, it will tell you that your device is now rooted. TA-DAAAAA. Reboot your device and the root is complete.
STEP 4 (CWM Time)
Download CWM here
http://forum.xda-developers.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=741968&d=1317928514
Turn the device off, and press and hold Volume Up, Down and Power buttons simultaneously. The AT&T logo will pop up, and then a pink-purple screen will pop up over it. Plug the device into your computer and let the drivers install. A popup may tell you some drivers didn't install, that's ok. A single, unnamed Removable Storage device will come up; open it. Take the 'recovery.img' file in there and rename it to 'recovery-backup.img', then copy the recovery-clockwork-5.0.2.6-u8800.img' to the storage device. Rename it to 'recovery.img'.
IMPORTANT: Make sure to 'Safely Remove Device' before unplugging!
After unplugging, remove the battery and reinsert it, and hold Volume Up and Power buttons to boot into CWM.
There you have it, Root and CWM. I've begun toying around with ROMs, I will try to port CM7.1 to this device, along with a customized, clean version of the stock ROM. Enjoy!

Hi, I know this post is old, but I got one U8800-51 with damaged charge port and I couldn't find any root strategy using some root APK. I've used KingRoot, KingoRoot, Poot (with Ministro libraries), FramaRoot, TowelRoot, z4root, GingerBreak and nothing happens. Always says "Error". I'm using Android Froyo 2.2 in that phone.
I regret reliving this old post, but I do it out of mere necessity. I live in Venezuela and this mobile phone here is still common.
I see as a last resort repair the charge port, but for now I do not have the necessary resources.
I appreciate the help you can give me.
Okay so basically all I'm wanting to do is get root access. I'm on the latest JB build thanks to my dad "making sure everything was up to date" before he gave me my infinity for my birthday. Tried the Debugfs method already with no luck at all on 2 PCs. Apparently unlocking my bootloader isn't an option either as I'm stuck with the dreaded "network error" message. Bootloader isn't really an issue though, as I wasn't needing any custom roms/kernels/etc, just wanting to use a PS3 controller. Anyways, short version of my question, whats the quickest way for me to downgrade to ics, root, and upgrade back to JB (if thats even needed?). Or for me to get root access on my current build? Any help is appreciated!

Well,
You'll have to go back to ICS .30 if you want to root with debugfs.
If the Asus unlock servers aren't working it's the only way to get rooted.
Below is a cut and paste from here:http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=30223822&postcount=1
_______________________________________________________________________________
*This method works only with ICS roms
Note: Rooting will NOT void your Warranty!!!
Before you start make sure that:
* USB Debugging is activated (on your device go to Settings/Developer Options/USB debugging)
* Unknown Sources is activated ( on your device go to Settings/Security/Unknown sources )
* Make sure no other Android device is connected to your PC
* Make sure Asus Sync Tool is not running on your PC
========= Rooting procedure =========
1) Create a folder on your desktop an name it " TF700 Rooting " (you can use a different name but i will use this name in this guide)
2) Download Asus USB drivers and Debugfs automated root from here
3) Extract the downloaded files to TF700 Rooting folder
4) Power ON your device and connect it to a USB port on your PC
5) If Windows is asking for the drivers point the driver installer to the Asus USB drivers in the TF700 Rooting folder ... if not, install the ADB drivers from Windows Device Manager (if you don't know how to do it then you better stay off from rooting your device)
6) Open the TF700 Rooting folder and run RootDebugfs.bat (right click --> Run As Administrator)
7) Select option "1" and press "Enter"
8) Follow the instructions on-screen
DONE, if you did everything right your device will be rooted.
Hi, first of all this is my first contribution to the forum. I've been using the resources until now but i wanted to contribute with something. This is not my development, and only gathered the information and put it here, so thanks to all the guys who help me in the first place.
I bought the Homesync waiting more from the device, and i now the device has so much potential but has been wasted for samgsung, they havent give a real update to the device and they left it at Android 4.2.2, with little support to apps in the store, with no suppor for multiwindow, and other things they could make for this device to success. Well, what we can do i to root it so we can gain access to other apps, and apps from independent markets or developers.
Requeriments:
1) Set your devide to a MJ3 ROM, either updating it or downgrading it from a stock ROM. You can get it from sammobile here http://www.sammobile.com/firmwares/3/?download=24442. I had to use Odin to downgrade to Stock Rom MJ3. If you dont know how to use Odin, in the same link you can read how to do it. Why MJ3? Because that ROM is working with root process im doing here.
2) After with the MJ3 ROM up and running. From your PC, do the following: download the superuser folder from the attachment below.
3) This part is thanks to the user K1MU, you can see his work here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2565758 ,before you try using this rooting program, you'll need to have the USB drivers installed for the homesync. Download here if you cant see your homesync when connected to the microUSB port.

4) The next thing you must do is to enable USB debugging on your phone. Go to "Settings", "More...", then "Developer Options".
If "Developer Options" doesn't appear, then you'll need to enable it - go to "Settings", "More", "About Phone". Scroll down so the "Build Number" is visible, then tap on that several times until developer mode is enabled. In Developer Options, make sure "USB Debugging" is checkmarked.
5) Make sure that your computer is allowed to use USB debugging on your homesync. To do this, unplug your phone and unlock it. Then, plug in the USB cable. If you see an "Alllow USB debugging?" window pop up, tap on the "Always allow from this computer" to check it, then tap OK. If you don't see that popup, it's OK, you should be OK to proceed. This is going to appear in the Homesync.
6) Then you need to unpack the attached ZIP file somewhere onto your PC. You should have the following when done:
- a file called "install.bat"
- a file called "install.sh"
- a folder called "files"
7) Double click on the "install.bat" to run the root. It will root and reboot your phone. Once that's done, you're rooted!
The first thing that the install script will ask you is whether or not to install Busybox. Busybox is a program that provides a fairly extensive set of Linux shell utilities that a Unix user would expect to see. If you're not going to be using the shell (terminal emulator or adb shell) then you may not want to install Busybox. You may, however, find that some root-required utilities assume that Busybox is installed. If SuperSU asks you to update the su binary, choose the "Normal" method. If SuperSU asks you about disabling Knox, allow it. This exploit will NOT set the Knox Warranty Void flag. It will set the "Custom" flag, but that's nothing to worry about. While you're running this, you'll need to keep the phone awake and watch both the computer running the rooting script and your phone. You shouldn't unplug the phone unless you're prompted by the rooting script. Leave it connected until it's done.
8) In this point you will be rooted and ready to boom your Homesync.
I think i will be expanding this post, but for now this is it. Everything works fine with the phone using the homesync app.
Root Samsung Homesync gt-b9150
Hi everybody, Samsung homesync is root with Kingroot, that´s all, thanks/Hola a todos, el Samsung Homesync se rootea con Kingroot, es todo, gracias.
So I just successfully installed Lineage 14.1 on my Galaxy S6 (International), using TWRP, and the OS works wonders.
Additionally I wish to have root access over my phone, so through TWRP I installed this: https://forum.xda-developers.com/ga...at-supersu-t3570740/post71367695#post71367695
The installation of the above goes through fine and afterwards I can go to developer options and enable "ADB Only". My question is: Why can't I also pick "Storage"?
Screenshot of how my "Root access" tab looks, under "Developer options": https://i.imgur.com/NxYr2jD.png
I'm trying to install Xposed and it says I don't have sufficient root access, my guess is because I don't have the option to also gain root access over storage.
Any help is greatly appreciated!
Flash SU Addon

hi, my phone ulefone armor 6e, I cannot upload firmware because the computer cannot see the phone. I tried all methods on 3 different cables and 3 different computers, in normal mode and fastboot mode, the computer does not see the phone. I installed the drivers properly, but when I connect the phone to the computer, there is no reaction or movement in the device manager section. The interesting thing is that the fast charging feature is lost. It also charges slowly when I plug it into wireless charging.
So i m trying this way, wifi debug and root using adb. but attach files not here, what can i do? please help. I have to one way wifi adb, how can i make root the phone, or flash recovery?
