Hi everyone
I am still trying to root my Trio stealth g2 tablet. I need to update the OS on it to something newer that can use google play and the apps I have but first comes rooting probably.
Root with Restore by Bin4ry has been used, yet all it says is "please connect Device...", along with superoneclick but all it does is freeze up and stops responding every time.
I tried something called framaroot but it ended up being fake and started putting icons on my tablet so I am doing a factory reset.
Any help is appreciated. I have no idea what to do next.
Same thing when I tried it with my linux laptop, nothing happened
I got the bin4ry rooting process working with wine on Linux but it still says to connect a tablet by usb.
The tablet does show up now on the windows computer if I use a different cord. And I downloaded the driver from the adbdriverinstaller.exe but the rooting software still does not work.

Hello fellow android-users. I have a problem. A problem that I can not figure out. My problem is the fact that no matter what I do I can't root my optimus v. I have tried literally everything and still can not root it. On the phone I've tried all known versions of Visionary, Z4root, easyroot, and universal androot. On the computer I've tried SuperOneClick but it always gets stuck on "waiting for device". I have searched so many forums and cannot find a solution. I think I could root it from the computer if it weren't for these bland general drivers I get installed on my computer every time I install drivers then plug my phone into the computer via usb. I have tried plugging it in to 3 different computers and always get these drivers. I have also tried 2 different usb to micro-usb cables (thinking that the one that came with the optimus might be charge only).Down below I have attached the drivers that always come up and what I think I should get (I screenshooted this from a youtube video).And all the lg android,virgin mobile, and usb drivers I have installed in various orders and mixed and matched but still no good. Also I have never had the phone get a usb notification when I plug it in.And yes I have Usb debugging turned on on the optimus. Although I have tried taking it off just for the heck of it.
Thank you for your time and consideration.
P.S. All i want to do is root it so that I can remove the bloatware and overclock it a bit.
Additional Information: Yes this is also posted on android central but I'm posting it here in hopes that maybe you all can help.
Additional Additional Information:I have tried every driver in every combination for the optimus v with never any luck.I have also installed linux on my computer If I will need that.Is there anyway to root it manually from the device itself, because that appears to be the only way. Here is a link to the official thread:forum(dot)androidcentral(dot)com/showthread.php?p=889790
If you try to connect via adb shell, does it successfully get you a "$" or "#"? Or does it say device not found?
This may seem odd, but try turning the phone off and doing the procedure for permanent root. Some have reported that turning the phone off fixes connectivity issues.
i rooted mine 2.2.2 with gingerbreak, very easy, install root and bobs your uncle
Try Gingerbreak..........works all the time
I downloaded the Gingerbreak v.1.2 app and when I press root I get "rooting....... running exploit..... This may take a few minutes! Device will reboot on success!" and I wait and nothing ever happens. And if yall are talking about the gingerbreak exploit on superoneclick I can't even get my computer to recoqnize my phone the right way.I've never had the usb notification thing pop up on the phone.I have downloaded every single driver for the phone and have installed and uninstalled them soooooo many times with no success.And I have had usb debugging on and tried rebooting several times with no luck. All i want to do is gain root acess to remove bloatware and overclock a bit.
Try all 3 versions of gingerbreak
Alright I already tried v.1.2,and 1.1, but it won't hurt to try 1.0.
remove any antivirus tht u have installed and try again
Alright I'll try that and get back to you
I tried it and it made no difference.Thanks for the suggestion though.
your sureshot is to downgrade ur device to froyo2.2. and then perform the root
Did u enable usb debugging mode? oO
josinpaul: My device is already froyo.The optimus v comes with froyo and I have not touched the OS. Also, how I would I do that if no computer can even recognize the device? (Not trying to be a jerk, just wondering if you could change the OS without being connected to the computer.)
ccdreadcc: Yes I have usb debugging on.And yes I have tried rebooting while I had usb debugging on and while it was connected to the computer via usb with no different results.
Keep your memory card unmounted ,I think here is the problem.

If you mean go to settings in the phone and unmount it then I already did that and it didn't make a difference.If you mean don't mount the sdcard when the usb notification comes up on your phone, then I have no choice.I can't get my phone to even get that (the usb notification).It's charge only when I plug it up to my computer and I have installed all of the drivers and tried everything (and yes a million times, I have usb debugging turned on).That's the whole point! I can't get the drivers to recognize the phone.I have tried it on 3 computers with 2 different micro-usb cords with never any success.
I wonder if your phone really is in USB debuging mode despite what it says. Here is a program to verify that you have rooted your phone. Gingerbreak should work on all firmware/android versions. What android version are you on? Many of the methods do not work on 2.2.1 or 2.2.2. If you go to settings/about phone you should see what you are running.
PS When you did Gingerbreak, was the APK installed on the phone or the SD card? Gingerbreak is mentioned in a number of threads. Have you check this thread? http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=13086954

I am not rooted.That's what I'm trying to do.I checked my version and it is 2.2.1.And i have always tried running gingerbreak from my phone, but it just says "rooting" forever.
Upgrade to 2.2.2 and give it a shot?
Or jst try after a hard reset o)
How would I upgrade it to 2.2.2 if i can't connect it to my computer?
Hello. I've been trying to root my ZTE Kis since yesterday, and I keep failing. I've tried rooting programs like SuperOneClick, UnlockRoot, etc. and the method with Android SDK/installing CWM via command prompt.
There is one problem, though. When trying to install ClockWorkMod, it gets stuck on "waiting for device" - the same happens when using SuperOneClick. UnlockRoot just says that it couldn't get shell access.
I think it might be a driver issue, but I've installed and reinstalled them many times, tried doing it on 3 computers (2xWinXP, Win7) and still - doesn't work. I really need to root, because there is so much bloatware on my phone and it takes loads of RAM, almost making my device unusable and very slow. Please help...

Ok, so you set flashtool like I said in my thread but there's no progress when you connect your switched off phone to PC. That's probably because your phone isn't recognised properly. I don't know if there's any driver installed on your PC, but you have to reinstall it somehow. The best method I encountered is to connect switched off phone and, when windows prompts, choose to install drivers from specific folder (try ADB folder or FlashTool, there's drivers for xp/vista/7 in each one that worked for me). This is a point when you must figure out by yourself, depending on your situation. Let me know if something changes.
Hello,
I just bought an S850 and I can't even install the drivers. When I connect the phone to the PC, it detects it, but it doesn't ask for drivers. It just says that Windows didn't found any drivers for this device and then it disappears from the Device Manager. Tried to manually install the .inf files, but then I get an error message saying that these files cannot be installed manually. So basically I'm stuck at the very beginning of the root process
Any help is greatly appreciated!

Hi,
I keep failing to root my HTC One V. At first I used that Kingo ROOT thingy, which doesnt work at all. Then I decided to do it the old way. However, first of all, the bootloader unlocking program itself wont install. It says AdpWinApi.dll is missing, even after installing Android SDK. Next thing, when I get into my phone's bootloader, my windows 10 pc says that the usb is broken or something similair to that, while when connecting when the phone is turned on, it does show the phone and I can access all its files. Ive isntalled multiple usb drivers, and HTC Sync (which I closed afterwards, so thats not the issue) and yet, it doesnt recognize the phone when in boot mode. Help, please!
fyi the bootloader is still locked.
Kind regards,
me.

Hey guys I tried rooting and installing twrp on a kindle fire first generation. In the command prompt it got stuck at waiting on device and then I was just screwed. Looked for hours how to get past it, nothing, now I'm trying to use unbrick tools and the device won't be recognized , windows doesn't recognize it, so I can't uninstall and reinstall the drivers like I did in the early processes of rooting. The Android SDK manager has a confusing interface that I'm trying to figure out how to use that to get the drivers to work, and I can't figure that out either. I did this in the first place to have a better device to give to my girlfriend as a surprise, and Now I'm incredibly sad and frustrated, any help would be great.
