Hey just wondering is it possible to use an app called "gingerbreak" to root the P990 or do i have to use superoneclick?
And sorry for posting in the wrong section!
On some firmware its working, also z4root have been reported to work but also depending on firmware.
For rooting I would recommend doing with adb. Its more work but it pre-pairs you to solve problems that might come from "playing" with the device.

Okay thanks for the help
SuperOneClick includes the Gingerbreak exploit, so you can't go wrong with it.
i use superoneclick & use the psnetuer for the exploit.

Do you know of any rooting method aside from cf-root? superoneclick did not work for me. Alternatively how to root using cf-root without the cwm and just simple root/superuser?
have you tried GingerBreak?
I haven't used it but I guess it might work

The latest superoneclickroot has gingerbreak integrated. Did not work....I don't know about the command line method. I might try later.
superoneclick gingerbread rooting worked fine for me. I was on the 1st gingerbread released - stock rom 2.3.3 by chainfire...

I think the reason why the first GB-the Italian version was pulled out of samsung servers was because it was easy to hack/root. Now the official Asian GB has problems with rooting because they learned from the Italian version and put something on the later release to make it difficult to root.

Well, as I did it on a SGS2 and not on a Galaxy tab, I don't know if the same applies to the former. However, I experienced difficulties with SuperOneClick which I successfully worked around doing the following:
First of all, if you have .NET Framework 4.0 installed on your PC, try downgrading it to .NET 3.0. Reboot. Another thing, try SuperOneClick v. 1.5.5 (which uses rage-against-the-cage) instead of the newer ones (which use either gingerbreak or psneuter). Then, start SuperOneClick before connecting the phone (which must be on usb debugging mode, of course!). When SuperOneClick says it is "waiting for device" then connect the phone and let it do its job.
For me, it didn't work at the first try, as it got stuck at some point. However, after a huge measure of persistence, which included several trials using the mentioned procedure, I've succeeded. As since then I've upgraded my ROM twice, the process had to be done twice again, and the persistence was necessary to succeed in both. Don't give up too early: persistence is the key. At least it was in my case.
Good luck !
PS.: I also could only succeed using Chanfire's XWKDD insecure kernel, even with newer firmwares (KE1 and KE7). I don't know why, but KE1 and KE7 insecure kernels didn't work for me using SuperOneClick.
where can I get the old version like Superoneclick 1.5.5? I tried googling but could not find link....or please provide copy of your file?
thanks!
Unfortunately, as I'm new here in XDA forums, I'm not able to provide external links yet (website policy). However I was able to sent you the link via private message.
Good luck !
Unfortunately did not work for me.I think samsung have closed the exploit on this firmware - which was open on the Italian version.
i am trying to another way by the help of our good friends here

Romy,not to be ungrateful for your efforts to help. But have you succesfully done any of these on galaxy tab?

Mr. Bong,
3 attempt but not succeed, but i make another trick and i think you consider it,
i rooted it with cf and what you have said the audio in bootanimation gone, then i flash again with original kernel from gb stock by our kabayan noxxoius and the audio back again
first photo after cf, then after original kernel

doing this procedure disables the tweaks app by chainfire as far as i can tell.. wasn't able to check the CWM app and the boot recovery.
yes,
i just check it i thought if the su, cwm ,tweak apps are available in the phone it is already rooted and i check also in adb some commands not allowed/permitted
ahhhh i thought am got the right path
back to grade one

has anyone tried it on this device?
No, but I don't see why it shouldn't work.. But we don't really need it since we can root in other ways.

If you just use the right version of superoneclick ( v 2.1.1 ) and then select exploit method gingerbreak, you can root this device.
I did this yesterday, after the v20L crap update...
I'm now back to cyanogen...
Or you can use nvflash method, always working, see thread in dev section, 'Root for dummies'.
The method you point is based on Revolutionary stuff which is quite specific to certain partition and mount frames, not sure at all it will work here, as LG hasn't the same bootloader policy (one if the very few good thing in LG, opened bootloader, on the contrary of HTC, Samsung and others).
Hi,
I tried to root my LG P970 which contains Froyo V10E but it failed. I tried Blackjack and Gingerbreak. Gingerbreak hangs on running exploits for 30 minutes so I killed the proces. Blackjack runs and reboots my phone but it still isn't rooted.
I'm looking for a good tutorial which describes how to root my phone, and after that, how to install CWM so I can install any rom I would like.
I have spend about 2 ours on reading threads about rooting but they are all a bit confusing.
BTW, I have never rooted a phone before so I am new on this
Regards,
Wes
i don't think this is the right place for asking
plus, there's a thread about rooting
to answer the question, use Super One Click
after rooted,install Rom Manager, flash CWM
Thread closed
Thread does not belong in development. Please refer to the link given above.
finally found a way to root my LG 2x P990.
superoneclick did not work for 2.3.4
neither did gingerbreak.
what did work was a program called unlock root 1.2
just thought i would share
Thanks
SuperOneClick v2.3.3-ShortFuse worked for my P990. Although it could be necessary to remove your microSD-card. Don't know why but it helps.
Thanks for the sharing
Hi,
Finally, I was able to root my LG O2X easily using Unlock Root, been searching for root method for my O2X after upgrading to 2.3.4, luckily I able to found one after all...
now I got my Superuser apps there with the root access, so I am up to higher level mods for my O2X
Thanks for the sharing
BTW, for those looking for the apps, here is the link: unlockroot.com
yeah. for some reason 2.3.4 GB. wouldnt get past step #7 no matter what i tried using superoneclick 2.3.3
first time bang done on "Unlock Root 1.2"
good to know right.
Thanks, Gingerbread 2.3.4 stock ROM with SpuerOneClic 2.3.3.0 said it rooted but it wasn't.
Tried unlocked root 2.2.1 and worked perfectly.

Does It works on 2.3.4 v20s?

Before telling me to find the answer by myself, I just want to said that I have already done that.
I know there is a lot of guide and a great variety of rooting method but I just want to ask some questions because I don't have any experience on rooting nor flashing.
What would be the easiest and safest method to root a i9000M on 2.3.3?
I have read about SuperOneClick and also about Doomlord zergrush's method. Which one's the best?
Also, will I lost my files if I root?
Thank you very much for your answers
I have use the SuperOneClick method several times without any problems and have never lost my data. However, I would recommend backing-up all the data before proceeding.
flash a root kernel (like cf root, to begin) with Odin for me is really simple and safe!
Realy, man, flash in Odin root-kernel - it's time-tested.
Is there any chance to make the phone not working if I do it wrong? Or will the software just send an error message?
