I used the LG software tool to update my Optimus T from Froyo 2.2, LG-P509-V10l to 2.2.2, LG-P509-V10S. Now I can't get it re-rooted. In both v10l and the one before that, I was able to easily use z4root to gain root access. Now z4root starts, but closes a few seconds later without completing. Have also tried Universal Androot and Super One Click 1.91. Both fail. SuperOneClick doesn't offically fail, it sees the phone just fine, but never gets past "Running psneuter."
I had used the LG software tool once before to upgrade to v10l and all went well. Only issue with v10l was very slow performance using wifi. This new version, v10s seems to have fixed that, but includes more "crapware" than ever before AND has a new self-starting app called Wifi Calling that tries to ram wifi calling down your throat if you are connected that way. You gotta manually disable it (opt out) to stop it from automtically sending your calls AND texts over wifi! And then it has the nerve to inform you that wifi calls still count against your minutes!!!
Any idea why this new sw version is breaking three different rooting methods?
z4root does not work for Android 2.2.1 or later. Gingerbreak is what you need. It is great and easy. I rooted my Optimus T with it.
Hey, thanks for the heads up! I'll give Gingerbreak a try and post my results later.
Gingerbreak works! Thanks again, you made my day and weekend! Hope other people will find this thread. Gingerbreak is here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1044765
Already got Titanium backup Pro reinstalled and am ripping out the crapware now.

Great! Chrome crashed and by the time I get back to give you a link to gingerbreak, you have rooted the phone.
Have fun!!
PS It is better to freeze apps rather than delete them. Just in case.
Yeah, I'm quick when it's that easy! I rip out the real crap like game demos and web2go to save space, and I do freeze the rest. TB is just the best!
had the same issue after upgrading to 2.2.2 thanks a lot for this post saved me

ROMs based on stock GB only. Unless you are told that you need a new baseband for the ROM, it will NOT work. Read the instructions for the ROM.

i rooted my device using androot. woohoo simple. Now everyone please tell me what i can do with my dell streak (US version still on 1.6).
PS: i tried the wifi tether but it is not working for me keeps giving error.
after some hassle I got 2.1 on my US Streak, it's well worth it, way more stable than 1.6 was.........Barnacle Wifi works with 1.6 I believe if you don't want to flash custom ROMS. There's lot's to read around here.

Not development related, move to general.
adfree is a good reason for using root.
Christ has risen!
To all of you that are tired of the long, not so simple way to root your Optimus One, I just came across this. Although it says it's for gingerbread, it worked for me. I'm using original 2.2.1 firmware.
Hope you're gonna find this useful!
hi cristi_bostan2005,
thanks for the information. I have tried and it also work with Android Version 2.2.2, software version v10f-FEB-24-2011
Does this mean no need of downgrading any more to install custom roms? Also is it safe to use it on our phone?
this is great news, though I'm still on v10b
where is detail i m not able to see it
thanks for this i rooted my phone using this was running froyo 2.2.2 with out the requirement of downgrade was able to root the phone successfully
? I am not seeing any info regarding app...what is the method?
For those that didn't see the link, here it is:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1044765
It's an app, similar to z4root that can root your phone, without you needing to downgrade as before. It's very simple.
Follow the link, download the latest apk to your phone, install it, run it and that's it!

Will the Ginger Break work for LG Optimus M? How do I install?

How many minutes did it take to root the phone? Mine is taking forever... :-S
not very long... about 30 seconds to 1 minute i think ??
Going to reboot and try again then.
but:
Some important things to know:
- You must have USB debugging enabled on your device
- You need to have an SD card (formatted and) inserted
- The APK must be install to device, NOT SD card
- The exploit may take a while to run, but not more than 10 minutes, if it does, get me a logcat, and reboot the device
- Always reboot between root attempts!
- While (temporary?) root access may be attained, due to locked bootloaders, efuses, S-ON, and whatnot this may still not work on your device
- The GingerBreak exploit should not be used to attain temproot and continue using the device. It fscks vold, you do not want to be running like that. You want to reboot! So if the root doesn't stick, you (still) have a problem.
Nope, it wasn't running properly, I waited more than 10 minutes.
I've rebooted and tried to run it again and this time it rooted the phone in less than 30 seconds. It was something that was amiss I guess.
Rooted in few minutes on V10E (2.2.2) Italian No Brand.
is it permanent root? i'm wondering if the phone can still be Unrooted after using this app? sorry for the noob question.

Go back to ROM 2.2 and then Install z4root. It's pretty straight forward.

You can also use SuperOneClick.

hi ya, i have just come from the pulse which i know is totally different, and the wildfire, which wasnt rooted, this phone is amazing compared to them, so far francos rom to me is perfect and each kernel he releases is perfect for me aswell.
oh and to the OP, im not sure about using the other roots but with gingerbreak, i installed it on the phone, run it, it rooted it and put superuser on there, i then used the guide and put on the custom recovery and francos rom, all in all it was very easy..
i tried the gingerbreak v1.20 on v10c 2.2.1 indian stock rom and it worked perfectly.
btw i broke my old optimus and bought a new one.
so sad my dead optimus

I've tried Z4Root, (I was able to root my phone with it back in 2.1), and have also tried Super One Click.
Nothing works now that I have Gingerbread and I can't find anything TO work.
I am praying to the xda gods for their wisdom and knowledge to help me with this problem! I have been at this since 9AM, it is 2PM. What can I do??
i dont use sgs, but i do know cfroot kernel or any other kernel based on cfroot can help u out.

If anyone comes up wit a good link or video that will be very helpful
I have this same phone and took a look at the links in the second post. However the kernel numbers don't seem to be following the same format as the links in the thread.
Has anyone had any luck rooting this kernel on the c spire galaxy s showcase?
I tried Odin3 and it messed up my phone and I had to go get a new one.
I'm also looking for help on this as well.
SuperOneClick
I'm having the same issues. I have tried SuperOneClick and it stops on step 6.
I'm having the same problem too after updating to 2.3.5. Super one click freezes on step 6.
Same issue with my CSpire SGS running 2.3.5. I do think that speed and battery life are improved over 2.2, but I miss my root.

If you used Odin, I doubt that it messed up your phone. What did you try to flash with Odin?

Did you guys do the official update with Kies? Send me a PM for a way to get a rooted ROM on your Showcase.
I did so the official update from C Spire. I'm not interested in a custom rom I just want to root my phone so I can use wifi tether with my galaxy tab again.
Any help would be appreciated.

I've ran several custom roms on my phone, but would like the option to just run stock with root so I can remove all of the bloatware from CSpire.
I've also had various issues with some other roms, ranging from no auto-rotate to glitchy in-call audio.

Hey guys, i got my atrix earlier this morning and have been trying to root and unlock the device. While unlocking the devices was easy thanks to this tread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1302423
got got to the end of it and my atrix says unlocked when it boots up which is great but i can't seem to root the devices i have tried a lot of the thread here, i won't be able to fix the ram problem without root .Could anyone help me out?
As far as i know there is no direct rooting method for 2.3.6 yet, ideally you would have been better off rooting 2.3.4 and using OTA Rootkeeper and then updating to 2.3.6. Shouldn't be long before someone comes out with a root method for your version.
hmm so i'm stuck with this for now? i came from a rooted milestone so i don't really know but i can't flash any rom for now right?
After a little surfing the guys down in Brazil claim to be rooting their Atrix phones running 2.3.6 using the SuperOneClick method i'm not sure if you've tryed it yet but it's worth a shot.

Edit: As for the installing of custom ROMs without root i'm not to sure about that sorry.
thanks a lot i'll try if it works
Edit: it seems that it is working you just made my day even better
edit 2: i got superuser installed but i can't seem to be able to delete/rename the install-recovery.sh as stated in the guide' i'll try to see what is wrong
edit 3: i am rooted and titanium back up works i'll take a break and figure out the rest later thanks again
Try using the root explorer in the ROM Toolbox app, supposedly some file explorers will not give you the proper access levels to delete or rename the files correctly. Read that in tayshun12's thread:
