hey guys,
my phone shipped with android 2.2.1 and i updated it to 2.2.2
now i wanna root it but nothing is working ! z4root restarts the phone but no changes... gingerbreak just keeps in that loading thingie forever (more than an hour) when i restart the phone no changes are made... superoneclick didn't help either... I found somewhere on the forums that i would need to downgrade to 2.2 but i can't find a way to do that because when i start searching for the original firmware for my country i can't find it... so any help ?
waiting for your responses...
well make sure usb debugging is enabled and try once again wth gingerbreak 1.2
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1044765
install gingerbreak on phn memory ,frmat sd card using http://panasonic.jp/support/global/cs/sd/download/index.html
hope it helps,
there are many thread on downgrading just search for it but before that try the above
yeah thanks for your (so quick) answer, but i already activated usb debugging, the sd card was formatted and mounted. tried gingerbreak for like 7 times or something and it's not working...
I tried Gingerbreak once and never looked back. I wonder what happened to your phone.
did you try taking it out to dinner ?

or use this program to get the original firmware http://forum.xda-developers.com/show....php?t=1073827
i dno why that link doesnt work, it was a program that downloaded the firmware for you. you simply select ur country.
thanks for the reply, that program just downloaded the v10g version which is 2.2.2 (flashing that wouldn't change anything). so now i need to downgrade... but which version should i use ? i can't find the original firmware for my country, and that really sucks (VERY bad service LG). so which original firmware should i get to flash it to my phone using kdz before rooting ?
thanks for your answers and time...
no replies ? come on ! which one should i choose ? no difference between them? please answer you know you can't breathe with that stupid stock rom !!

thanks, if anyone can answer, please do... this is really important (you how it is to use that totally crappy stock rom...)

Hmm...I had that issue. It can/may be solved by any other way. But I recommend to try the one I did. You need to type some commands in ADB, and then try rooting. It's a long process....Read my post in my blog here for details:-http://ayushandroidworld.blogspot.com/2011/11/how-to-root-lg-p500-with-gingerbread.html Note that the post is labeled as "for Gingerbread", but it'll work for you...........
Try it and let me know if it worked.

yaaaaaaay that was it ! i just did what that tutorial said and IT WORKED ! THANKS !
i did have some troubles at first but i checked the drivers, installed other ones that worked... and now it's ROOTED
hey guys
so now i have that "superuser" icon in my drawer, so i need to install a custom recovery... I installed ROM MANAGER from the market, flashed clockworkmod recovery (successfully) but when i select "reboot into recovery" it just hard-resets the phone and it boots again and i find it just like it was when i bought it... even tried shutting down the phone and pressing volume_down + power + menu..... is there something wrong ? please help !
Hello ,You still have clockwork (inside). Try Pull battery ,reinstall, press power,At logo press :HOME-VOL DOWN-POWER for about 5 sec.or untill you get into CW home screen.You can now only use the vol up & down to highlite an option and menu to enter/select the highlited option.If your installing a ROM ,install it (ZIP FILE) on your sdcard 1st (before) so you can select it.
thanks for replies.
I solved the issue... i just installed the rom manager 4.5.0.1 version...Worked as a charm...
Finally, i have cm7 on my phone, gingerbread 2.3.7
now i'm gonna flash the google apps (gapps) cuz it turns out i don't even have a market !

Hi guys I just got my Neo V today, just left x8
I tried rooting my Neo V, using DooMLoRD_v4_ROOT-zergRush-busybox-su
but when i run it, it says everything is completed but then, there is no superuser!
I dont want to install recovery on my phone now, so i dont wanna try the recovery method.
Do you guys know any other easy way to root or can i use superoneclick? has anybody tried it?
EDIT: I GOT .62 FIRMWARE SO IT MEANS I CANT ROOT IT RIGHT OR CAN I?
Plz answer. thanks.
plz plz any1?
you dont actually "see" superuser in the application drawer. it is there and will kick in when needed. try some applciation that requires superuser permissions and you will see (proxydroid for example).

Hello today i desided to root my Samsung Galaxy SII GT-I9100
I checked my kernel version which is XWLPG
Then i found in insecure kernel that should fit on this forum.
After that i took my phone enabled usb debugging.
Then i turned off my phone and started it in downloading mode.
(Volume down, Home and Power)
Then i started odin and flashed the kernel to my phone.
After that i ran S2 Root program.
Then i pressed root and everything seemed to work fine.
After reboot i got the yellow triangle and thought everything were fine.
But it proved me wrong, i tried using luckypatcher to remove some ads on a app i have, but it didnt have root access wierd
So i downloaded titanium backup from play store,
and same thing here it showed me and error that it didn't have root access.
I restarted my phone serveral times and i didnt help at all.
Then i tried doing it all over again and its THE SAME.
No matter what i do it seems that i can get my phone rooted probadly.
I can see superuser is installed but i cant find CWM.
Is there anything i can do.. ?
Ps. If you need more information just ask, i tried to be as descriping is i could be after all i am a noob and im not special, but i couldn't find anything after a search
hi
which insecure kernel u used?
and is there any superuser app in your phone?
if its not there install superuser from market and try
or else flash ch-kernel first then flash other kernels
Try flashing the insecure kernel again. Sounds like Busybox didn't get installed at all or/properly. If you used something other than a CFRoot kernel, I recommend you do this time.
This is the kernel i used if that can help you Kernel_I9100XWLPG_INSECURE
I have tried flashing it again with no luck
There is a superuser app but it dont seem to work at all..
I will try the cf now and reply back asap..
It that the same method as i already done.. ?
I don't know. Which thread did you get it from ?

In the forum link that you guys posted i cant find the Cf kernel for
XWLPG
Is this the right one.. ? CF-Root-SGS2_XW_NEE_LPG-v5.5-CWM5
Before you do anything, read the first page of the CFRoot thread thoroughly. Make sure you understand the process. And pay particular attention to the bit in bold red about a 3rd of the way down the page that says "Help ! Which file do I use ?".
That section answers the question you just asked.

You have been a big help to me..
No probs ;-) If you have any more problems, post to this thread again & include info about exactly what you did & what is/isn't working so we can get it sorted for you. But hopefully CFRoot works for you first go.

i will do that.. thank you again very much..
Its really apreciated..
I will try the Cf..
But actually a question already has come up..
the kernel version i found is a zImage and not a tar and odin dont seem to recognize it
EDIT: Sorry my bad i accidently unpacked it twice.. What a noob
Yeah you don't need to unpack the tar. Looks like you got that sorted tho ;-) Let us know how you get on.
I have to be very unlucky today, the new one seems to work but now i cant connect to my wifi..
EDIT: It dont work still no root access but it seems that the programs respond better..
Can i start ALL over removing the root and start on completely original firmware..
Yes, you can. Flash a stock rom in Odin. You can either look for your firmware here, Samfirmware.com or you can get the PC version of Checkfus (search for it on here), this will enable you to download the latest firmware for your phone model/country/carrier that you'd normally get via OTA update.
Once you're back on stock/have a clean slate you can have another go at rooting your phone if you want.
It's really strange that the kernels seem to be installing OK (your phone seems to work normally) but no root access. As to why that's happening, who knows ?
Yes it really is wierd, because everything do as it should no problem..
But i think maybe the first kernel i put on ****ed everything up but thats just a guess.. So now i will find the official firmware for my phone and then i will try with cf again and report back..
Yeah that's exactly right, and yes, maybe the first kernel messed something up. Yep, back on stock, then have another go with CFRoot & hopefully that works first go this time. Bookmark this thread & post back here & let us know how you go.

hey dude before applying the official firm ware just give a try the below
1) use a kernel cleaning script to clean the kernel then try flashing the Cf root kernel back and check for ROOt if its ok then u can leave there since it saves time
2) if it doesnt wrk that way then u can flash the official firmware and then root again
Too late i already go back to original firmware. And that works like a charm i think i will have another go at cf now.. But thanks for the answer..
Maybe i will try this is its wierd again
EDIT:
It works know, i got back to stock and then i flashed the cf kernel.. And now everything seems to work, i downloaded a root checker and it says that i have root access..
So i think it was the first kernel that messed things up..
Thanks for the help..
especially MistahBungle, you have been a big help to me thank you..
Really ? Good news indeed. You're welcome ;-) Glad you finally got it working the way you want.

try kingo root http://www.kingoapp.com/
srs root http://www.srsroot.com/
or if you have stock recovery in your
phone directly install superuser.zip or
probably flash cwm and then
superuser.zip
or try framaroot
Well framaroot doesn't work. Where would I get the superuser.zip from? I have stock recovery but dont know what I can do. I can't find anything on the polaroid s10 only same brand just dif model.
Looks like that there isn't anyway to root the polaroid s10 Maybe downgrade it or something, but I wouldn't know how to do that either. Please someone on the interweb help me with this tablet.

In this case, that is a good thing FYI. Cydia Impactor should be able to get you rooted then. Follow the directions in this post:

It may say this is root method for a different device in that post but Impactor works on alot of phones and I am too lazy to write out directions for you lol (too much turkey last night), it is much easier to just link to that post.
If you have any problems let me know and I will do my best to help. Good luck and let me know how it goes!

Thank you so much that did the trick :victory: I didn't think that it would ever be rooted. Thank you again for your help :victory:
By chance do you know of a custom recovery that will work with the S10 ? And maybe a custom rom? I'm really sorry to keep asking lol

You could just hit my thanks button at bottom left of any post. Sorry but I do not know of any custom recovery of roms for this specific device, you may try googling but since you could not find a root method until now I dont think there is much development for this device sadly.

Well that stinks I don't really like the stock rom. I have cyanogenmod on my phone, wish that more poeple would start to work on this tablet soon.
ok so now my polaroid s10 is stuck at the boot logo and I can't get past it. Please help me :crying:
Don't know if you were able to fix your boot loop, try looking for a way to hard rest. As for root, the tablet comes rooted. You have to download 1mobile and install superuser and you have full root. As for getting play store and Google frame work. Go to polaroid site and there will be a download for phoenixsuit that you will have to download and install from a computer. Hope some of this helps
download the updated rom
heres the link. installs thru pheonix suite

Confirmed working on a Polaroid Tablet PMID704G witout any problem!
Hey guys, I have a little problem I tried to find the solution in other posts, but I didn't found it, so this is my last hope... I hope you can help me.
So I have an Asus Memo Pad HD7, and I rooted it using framaroot 1.9.3, then one day it appeared a firmware actualization in my notification bar, I updated NY android and then after some days I just wanted to check if the unroot option in the framaroot worked, well my mistake it worked to well, after I clicked I rebooted and them the supersu was gone and I had unrooted tablet again, but when I tried to root again it told me it was rooted and then after reboot it wasn't... I can't root it again
The weird part is that recently I made another firmware actualization and supersu appeared magically in my phone, I tried to start it, but it showed an error saying my phone was unrooted... then I uninstalled supersu and tried to root again, but I can't...
Please help!
P.s: I didn't instal any rooms and I already tried factory reset in settings.
P.s.s: The weirdest part is that people say they unrooted to do a firmware update, while I did it with my rooted tablet. And Avast says my device is running in high privilege mode, but Root Checker says it's not.
Please any help will be appreciated!
Without knowing which firmware you are on now, it's not really possible to tell you how to reroot correctly.

Framaroot uses a bug to get Root access and root the Device.Maybe the update has been fixed.Try to downgrade your Software and root again.

I don't have the device, so I can't really help directly, but I mean, there's a picture guide with stuff circled that you need to do. If it's too complicated then it would be wise to invest in having a qualified shop or tech to help.

How is downgrading any easier than the root guide for the current version you're on...?
I think rooting via Fastboot is safer than framaroot.

I provided the link to what you need already. It's on the 2nd post of the thread. It has a step by step with pictures. You need to unlock the bootloader and install the custom recovery so you can install the superuser zip. If you can't follow the picture guide, then you should really enlist the help of someone who does this for a living since this is your only tablet and are very unsure of yourself.
