Root : V10a

Tried to root my phone today with Superoneclick and gingerbreak but both did not work :-(.
The gingerbreak which i downloaded from the link posted on this thread gave a virus error with one Antivirus Pro software on my mobile and Superone click ver.2.1.1 gets stuck at stage 4 of the upgrade. It makes the connection to the phone etc. but for some reason does not like my phone nd gets stuck at stage 4.
I have LG-P970-V10a.
Please help. Thanks

They're already some threads about rooting LG Optimus Black...
Use UPK by Ilko here and you can try my method (Method of root by Sobralobo) or any other that where shared.

I'm also V10a. I rooted my phone 2 days ago. Try to use this method fast and easy http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1154882&highlight=root+via+application&refid=12 try to uninstall your antivirus first i think it detect the gingerbreak as a virus even though it is not a virus.

Thanks. I will try it soon and update you. Thanks

install gingerbreak... sometimes this doesn't work if the size of file you get/downloaded is less than 295kb. also, try to google "how to root LG Optimus Black P970 addictivetips" for detailed instructions if the instructions here on xda seem to be too technical. that's what i did before... i'm a noob. lol!

Thanks all. Finally after your inputs I manage to root my phone. I had to uninstall my anti-virus and it worked.
Another question. I am rooted what next? what are the benefits? I tried to download some themes .zip files and also installed Widget Locker but am not able to find on how to install those lockscreen themes directly :-(.
Please help me enjoy my phone and give some tips on what to do next after rooting
.
Thanks and look forward to more replies like earlier.
Thanks

Download LauncherPro or Go launcher ex to apply those themes and widget. Watch this tutorial http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=abDzsu35aWk
Gingerbread is coming! So i think it is better to wait rather than flashing different ROM (One benefits of rooting phone).

hi all..
i ve rooted my OB with 2.2 froyo V10a using Gingerbreak 1.20. everything went ok.. easy and fast.. but now i want to unroot for warranty issues.. i ve read that runnung again Gingerbreak and taping 'unroot' will do the job.. did anyone try or know that it works in practice or if not..., any other suggestion about unrooting?
thanks in advance..

Hi there, I rooted my OB too using the gingerbreak and just for "knowledge" I unrooted it with the same gingerbreak and it works, it's safe at least for me

if you download from browser, normally you can "open" it with widget locker to "install" it.
Otherwise, just copy the zip in "sdcard\data\com.teslacoilsw.widgetlocker\themes"

thnks for the "knowledge" transfer... I apreciate it...

I want to go from Gingerbread to CyanogenMod

Hello,
Since i heard and readed alot about the cyanogenMod, i wanted to flash my phone to this Rom.After folowing a vid on youtube and some research. I found out that i can't flash to cyanogenMod from android 2.3.3. So my question:
How can i do this?
Grtz
Daan

I just think you can flash it with CWM, as with other ROMs.

But then there is the risk that my phone bricks? witch dont happen if u use nv flash
and if u use nvflash i get an error, and thats because im on 2.3.4
failed executing command 14 nv error 0x120000

no your phone will not brick when you really need to be unlucky, all people in here is using cwm to flash with, i think nvflash is only if you want to flash stock rom,

In CWM perform a factory reset, and to be sure, format /system /data /cache, wipe Dalvik cache, and finally flash CM7.
That had nothing to do with your installed version of android, be sure to have CWM 5.0.2.0 to have ext4 compatibility.

oke ill try that thank you for ur reactions

after trying to install cyanogenmod i have problims with prompting to test.
i did everything it sayed but he still sayed no batch found. so im not sure everything works fine, so stuck at the kdb devices.
any tips ore other ways? ore good simpler guides ore movies?
cause the nvflash way is so mutch easyer!
Tnx allready

What batch are your talking about? In CWM you choose install a zip, select your zip file of CM7, you confirm and that's it... You do it from the phone don't you? CWM is not an external app on the computer... It's a special partition called recovery that you must flash either through ROM manager if you are rooted or through nvflash if not rooted yet (see trymhansen thread in dev section and forget movies and YouTube stuff...)..

Yes, GB is hard to root by classic exploits nvflash Burns directly recovery, and then you flash super user app...

http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1037751
I think your should read a little here too...

well ive do things to mod andoid to make a good usb connection, i saw it in a guide . it sayed if u didnt root yet follow this guide with cwm. so i did something wrong...
i just dont get what root means and how i make a nandroid backup.
thanx for the fast reactions

the problem is the ADB its hard to set up that didnt work out for me and i need it for superoneclick cause when i try this it gets stuck at step 7 it says waiting for device

I finally hot my adb set.. when i try super one click it stops at step 7, and sayed waiting for device.. I really tried every way !

Can close this 1 problem solved, returned to froyo and then to cyanogen.

Root permission never asked

Hi, I`m with my first Android and tried to root it using this tutorial (i'm with stock rom):

Yeah. Stock V20l. I've got all the right messages, done everything as it saids. But when no program gives me root access.

Do you have the ROM Manager installed? if yes...switch on wifi and select the clockworkmod choosing the LG Optimus2X and wait for it to be flashed.
Do you get that the apps dont have root access?
---------- Post added at 10:54 PM ---------- Previous post was at 10:47 PM ----------
just have a look at this thread....has some information about rooting....

ROM manager says that I cannot select clockworkmod cause I haven't got root permission
I've tried the tutorial to get root access a dozen times. In all of them things seems ok, but when I open apps that need root access, they tell me I don't have it.

Personally i think that there is some problem....try rebooting both your computer and the O2X and then restart the rooting process....before that read the thread a bit carefully...might be you are missing something...the rooting process normally works good...

I tried this one and think it worked.

Thanks for the help

More problems...
Root Check Basic says it's rooted;
Busybox installer also says it's rooted. It installs but if I open it again it says Busybox isn't installed.
Titanium Backup says it isn't rooted. FasterFix also.

Is there anyway to go back to zero and do it all again?

Update superuser. Reboot then try again..
Download rom manager flash the recovery.

Can't Root Samsung Galaxy Ace 2.3.6 XWKT4

Hi i tryed all the ways to root my Samsung Galaxy Ace (S5830), SuperOneClick, upd_1.zip
I get the superuser application on it but doesn't give me root acces, so its still not rooted,
All applications that requires rooted phone don't work, super user doesn't show any allow
notifications, has no apps in its list when i open it, tryed modifing settings in it still no succes....
Model Number: GT-S5830
Android Version: 2.3.6
Baseband Version: S5830XWKT4
Kernel Version: 2.6.35.7-perf-CL965213 [email protected] #1
Build Number: GINGERBREAD.HRKT2
I googled a lot, tryed a lot, no succes, please help!
EDIT:
I did it!
I know this is an old Thread but I wanted to post that I did and how I did it: The problem was because of my stock rom limited space so I used thinkdroid.apk_removal.zip to remove thinkdroid from device and free space for full super user installation was now there, and afther the thinkdroid.apk every root atempt worked flawlesly.
The problem was because of the Hugo Boss Rom that had a limited internal memory, ow and I needed to delete everything on internal memory, so if someone is having the same problem:
1 factory reset
2 from recovery flash thinkdroid removal
3 flash root_upd1 (or any root zip for sga)
done

Can u uninstall the superuser app?

I did exactly like in the tutorials, I copied the root.zip to sd card, putted device in recovery mod, update from sd card, reboot, got super user on device but, no root acces, so i "unrooted" my device, to delete the unworking superuser, how do i make it work ? please help... In the tutorials there is nothing sayed about flashing( I don't know well this term I think it means installing operating sistem on device) I don't want to flash a nother operating sistem version of android, I just want to root my device. Make the superuser work, grant root acces for applications...
Video example of what i did [update data from sdcard] : youtube video /watch?v=rUSn0E_dWMg (and unrooted and tryed a lot of diferent root.zip files none worked... unrooted and wiped to factory settings after every fail...)

SO i need to flash cfroot kernel, afther that the superuser app will work fine, my device will have ropot acces, and apps that needs root acces will work? can i flash a cfroot kernel via recovery mod/ update from sdcard ?

1. Backup everything on your device
2. Do a factory reset
3. Apply upd_1.zip (for Gingerbread 2.3.5, 2.3.6, attachment)
4. Put all your files back.
Do not extract the zip file! Just select the .zip file from your SD card.
Tested: Galaxy Ace - 2.3.5 Stock

Do factory reset.
Don't install anything on the internal memory.
If you have any app that requires root access, delete them (ex: ROM Manager, Superuser etc.)
2 options:
Try the .zip file again
or
Use SuperOneClick ( http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=803682 )
If you use SuperOneClick make sure you follow the steps.
You NEED to put your phone on USB Debugging mode
You NEED to install make sure the Android drivers for your phone are installed
Make sure you DO NOT mount your SD card.
If you still can't get something to run, try doing it in recovery mode.

I see that I allredy have the latest version on my ace...

Try to flash a 2.3.5 Stock. Most phones have 2.3.5 pre-installed. Install a ROM like CyanogenMod to get 2.3.7 and extra features when you are done rooting.
Get a 2.3.5 ROM at samfirmware.com
You need to register and all the .zip files have a password (pass: samfirmware.com)
EDIT: Backup everything from your SD card and format it. Put it back and try again.

basically the time when you rooted your phone something went wrong and it is currently causing you this issue that you are having right now.
the current issue you are having right now is common.
its like a hit or miss thing.
-root with no bugs
-root with bugs <------- thats where you are now
-no root
just root it again and it will most likely solve the issue.

It seems you will have to restore your phone with SUS.
Then root using this script: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2186368
I had the same problem than you, it was caused by using a bad root script. I fixed it restoring and using the script i from the thread i posted, it does not include a recovery, remember to install it later.

may be is that point.. every time i root still not good.....
then i try the other bro that root , my device is root ^^
