Try flashing a general unbranded rom, some continental version if you find. And root after that. I had the same problem with the Ro firmware, got an European Fw and it worked. Also try and stay below 10e to root.
As for information, Gingerbreak roots it.
You must try gingerbreak it will surely gonna root it ,but mind it its gonna root permanently, so you can't unroot again.

Yes, Gingerbreak is the solution.
But I think with KDZ firmware updater u can unroot the device.

Version 1.2 of Gingerbreak includes the Un-root option... so, just give it a try and report afterwards!
Gingerbreak have un-root option and it works fine. And if you flash oficial firmware with KDZ - you got un-root to.

Which root method is the best to use to root my Lg Optimus V? While using some googlefu I have come across various methods of gaining root and I am curious which method is the best and the varying differences between them.
The methods I have come across are as follows;
GingerBreak
SuperOneClick
FastBoot
I'm also curious how I would unroot and restore the phone to factory defaults. Any information on that would also be much appreciated.
I used the gingerbreak method and it worked without any problems. Superclick would probably be the easiest.
Which is the least intrusive and can be most easily reverted?

GingerBreak would be good, you will have to install busybox later manually,while superone click installs busybox for you but if you are on 2.2.2 use GingerBreak, also has button to unroot.

Gingerbreak can do both so I suggest use it.
I'm using SuperOneClick.
Depends on which firmware you are. If you are on 2.2 then use z4root, great tool and easy to revert.

Depends on what version of Froyo you're running. See FAQ for more info.

You will loose root but easy to fix
Sideloading is already build in the new update so don't need any mod
Hotpot will break but is easy to fix

Do I have to flash doomlord's firmware and then go on super one click or from stock firmware from England can I just root with super one click safely.

Anyone know?

I used doomlords firmware and mines rooted successfully.
Try with his first, then if it works , try the English firmware and do the same steps.
Sorry if im not clear with my answers this is the first forum ive actively posted on

superoneclick uses exploits to get root if the phone doesnt have unsecure kernel. However, there is no exploit for the new gingerbread SE software right now (gingerbreak is fixed!). Therefore there is now chance right now to get root without unlocking bootloader and flash unsecure kernel :/
Therefore you have to flash the unsecure kernel, and then superoneclick gets root quite easily.
Oh, so basically the unsecure kernel hasnt got the patch or fix or update that stops you from rooting, its been removed ? Am I right ???
Sent from my SK17i using XDA App
no, there is just an option "secure" which (if set to 0) allows superoneclick to root very easy!
Oh k, I get it

Hmm what could be the issue? Or if i have to wait, how long to wait for the root to be clickable? I'm a little worn out over these issues, as part of it is my fault as i already have it rooted everything done. But funny thing is when i optimize my phone or try to install the android keyboard (not the default input) it won't reboot. So i went to use another flashtool to try to install it but ended up i face some issues but i got it fixed. Puzzled, are we not allowed to optimize or install custom apks?
You canNot optimize with flashtool (for 2.3) what are you running???

Try flash it again and don't optimize it with flash tool, it breaks xrec and might cause bootloop...

I see. Yeah i followed, but how long will the root button clickable? If not i can't root at all. Another question, what's xrecovery for?
This happened to me as well, you gotta keep trying and it at the right moment. try flashing downgrade, then upgrade and then again downgrade and then try...it takes a few tries. I just rooted my device.
I have the same
is it rooting the 2.3.3 on x10i does not need to unlock the bootloaders 1st??

Alright will try
So I just put the new 6.1.1.B.1.54 firmware onto my rooted Sola via PC Companion, and when the phone rebooted, I lost root. I was like okay, no prob, let's just root it again with bin4ry's method.
Well, it didn't work. I tried an older version, didn't work with that either.
This is a model where the bootloader can't be unlocked no matter what, so I can't flash the previous 6.1.1.B.1.10 firmware, I'm stuck with this. Apart from bin4ry's method, is there a way to root without unlocking the bootloader?
Thanks!
