Whats the best way to root from gingerbread? - LG Revolution

I have rooted a few devices in my time a xoom and a Samsung moment. So my question is what is the best way to root this phone? with the xoom I had to hook it up to the computer and run the sdk the moment was done with the handy updater with a new file loaded into it. I just havent seen a clear cut way to do it here theres some of the one clicks which honestly scare me. But beyond that?

This is your best way. Designed from the ground up and works flawlessly. Credit to mtmichaelson and all the guys he worked with to get this going.

It does work well, I have not found a list of lost functionality but there may be one. The one loss I know of is the 4Ghotshot, tether continues to work however.

The instructions in the linked thread are a little vague.
How Do I Root and Install CWM?:
1) Download zip and extract
2) Install drivers if not already installed
3) Click Root&RecoveryAIO.bat
4) Select what you would like to do

Where do you get the drivers and when it says click Root&RecoveryAIO.bat, is that an application like One Click or do you need to somehow install it?

You need the lg drivers for the revolution. Once you do that, plug the phone into the usb and select internet connection with usb debugging on and then simply follow the above steps. This is my first android phone and it was so easy thanks to MT for making it so easy.

There should be a folder inside of the zip labeled drivers. Check in there and run one of those. I downloaded them from the site posted earlier and put them in the zip.

Since u r flashing the zip thru clockwork recovery, and u most likely rooted to get that far yes... however if u r one of few who managed to install a custom recovery but did not root then I suppose u would not have to have root.

I still have a stock ROM and was not sure of rooting my XOOM. Perhaps I'll wait until someone posts just the apk..

just the apk will do u no good, because of a few reasons, first is that it needs to be a system app, which without root u can not install it to the system/app location , and even if u got it to install without root it still will not work because it requires the libs for it to work, the app itself can not decode hand writing to text without them.
And just fyi a zip that u flash yo install any kind of app contains the apk, all u need to do is open the zip and u will see the app

I did see the apk. I was just unsure on how to root my Xoom. Even though I've extensively on the subject, I still find it a little intimidating, I was hoping there was a "One Click Root" program.

[Q] Atrix HD root, BataKang help

Hi. I recently bought a Motorola Atrix HD. I am a new Andriod user. I came from ios but I saw jelly bean and made the switch. I don't know anything about root or installing ROMs. I do know the Atrix has a locked bootloader and that means it is hard to customize. I was wondering if anyone could show me step by step on how to install ROMs root and more. If there are any videos for the Atrix that would be helpful. I would also like to know how to install BataKang. Thanks
Sincerely, n00b

Installing the jellybean leak is simple, but more complicated if you want to be rooted on the jelly bean leak. Here is the guide I used to do it, worked great
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1976956
If you are already rooted on stock ICS, pick up the guide in between steps 10 and 11 where it says "Edit: Neroga's post about retaining root is easier to follow." and work your way down.

It looks like your command prompt can't find adb.exe, best guess would be that run.bat isn't being run from the same folder as adb.exe!
1) make sure you extracted "motofail2go_windows.zip" so that you have a plain folder called "motofail2go".
2) make sure you double click "run.bat" from the motofail2go folder
-possibly try right clicking on "run.bat" and selecting "run as administrator" instead of just double clicking... not sure if this is necessary but it can't hurt!
I'm not good at explaining let me just get you a screen shot ...
Before you do those steps:
1) make sure drivers are installed
2) connect phone to computer via usb cable
3) enable usb debugging
4) leave your phone turned on, sitting idle: locked or at the home screen ect.
God bless
Oh, also did you do what it said to trigger the bug report? Triggering a bug report is a normal part of the procedure, it prompts you to generate a bug report even if it worked fine. After completing the bug report it should continue the rooting process.
THANK YOU THANK YOU THAnk youi!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Sorry to tell you but you're screwed. The modem you flashed is not for the i957. Never flash anything that's not specific to your device. If you're still under warranty Samsung might repair it for free. Flashing the rom has voided the warranty, otherwise, they can repair it at a cost. Those are your options. You can't fix it yourself.
Edit: does odin recognize the device?
God promised men that he'd put beautiful women in all corners of the world. Then he laughed and laughed and made the world round

The download its a zip file. You probably have to extract the .tar.md5 file out of it. Use 7-zip to do that. I know you have to do that if you are using odin. Not sure with the way you ate doing it.

Buy the app?
Might not get much help in a developer forum. Since you mentioned pirate bay. Piracy is against forum rules. Please support the developers. If your pirated apps aren't working try paying for it and then asking the developer for help.

I ALWAYS get mad when someone says that on Piratebay or other torrent sharing sites there is just pirated apps/programs in general. You can find everything on PirateBay, not just protected programs. Just for example, I ALWAYS use torrent for work, to share some projects with every people I work with.

Didn't say you were downloading pirated apks. If you need help finding an apk or if your google play is blocked you can always check the apps list on xda, amazon market, or a replacement market. Sorry i didn't mean to bash on pirate bay or anyone that uses torrents.

I know you weren't saying that. You don't have to be sorry, you said your opinion! You are right, alternative markets are the best (some times) I was just saying that a lot of people say that torrent is for piracy, but actually it's not. No offence from my part
Apks are normally little in size. You only would need 1 seeder. Chances are they are pirated apos
HELP
i have done the below, and still cannot load these apk files./ i have downloaded 3 types of app installer from Play store, and still nothing.
after downloading the apl file, i get to the point where it asks if i want to install, and when i try and click install, it does not allow me to (its almost like the install button is not active or greyed out.) i am using LG FLEX LG-D955

you dont need an app to install an app.....
basically just click on the .apk file, and hit install
not sure why it would be greyed out.
if the security setting is on it will tell you and take you there to uncheck it

I have checked unknown sources. I'm trying to download a song from tubidy.mobi for example. On my S3 I had after you selected the song it gave you an option to play or save using an installer. With this phone it doesn't. It gets to a point that after you "downloaded" the a file and it asks if you want to install, it doesn't allow you to. No error msg, no warning etc. It just doesn't do anything. Have you never had this problem on your LG? I bought the phone brand new from the UK, I live in South Africa, upgraded to kit kit 4.4.2.
Not familiar with tubidy, but let me get this straight:you are trying to install music files you download? Those don't require install
Could be extra Junkware it wants you to install

If file is downloaded to your phone, just open it with any music player
You should never have to install music files... Maybe try changing the file extension to .mp3 with a file explorer if it's named something different?

That's really not the concern.
The question is: Is the app, that you found somewhere on the web, safe?
Did the Dev include malware, spyware, adware, keylogger....
If the app is not open source, there is no guaranteed way to check.
The other questions is, does it root the device? That is fairly easy to check use Root checker

reply::
It rooted the phone. I used safestrap and install ICS. The app wasn't fully in English tho. Part of it was but mostly in something like Chinese or Japanese or something. I really don't know if it had a virus or anything but it did root the phone.
