e720 root

---

hey guys, i realize this is for the p500, but does anyone know if the p500 root methods would work for an e720? i know theyre different devices, but were released around the same time, share mostly the same specs. ive done alot of searching but found nothing. its the wifes device and she wants rid of the preloaded carrier crap is all. thanks for any direction you can provide.

Are you talking about the LG Optimus Chic E720? From what I have read it should work considering the app (z4root) is pretty much a universal rooter for android phones. It also depends on the current firmware that you are on as some Optimus One are unable to root due to this. Best bet is to give it a shot and post your results so that others will know.

-Not held responsible if you brick the phone from using any app-

right on thanks for the reply, i was hoping z4 root will work so we will give it a shot. and yes talking about the chic. cheers and i will let everyone know if i can get it rooted

i can confirm temp root with z4root v1.3 does work for the lg optimus chic e720. i will look into the permaroot option and custom roms and report back, doesnt seem to be much of a community with the chic,

e720 rooting, procedure?

Been looking around the threads and sites. Seems the LG Chic can be easily bricked. Can someone post a detailed procedure on Rooting this e720 please?

i can confirm permanent root via z4root 1.0.3 works flawlessly.

as for custom recovery and roms we are still SOL as far as i can find..

Use Super One Click v1.7 if you are v10b or v10c, make sure you have all drivers you needed. v10a can use z4root.
for the 2.2.1, i think gingerbreak work on 2.2.1, i am not sure though because i haven't test it yet.

10d is 2.2.1 and gingerbreak can root it.

It can indeed! Hurray! At last!!!

Hi all, I am new with Android and this forum as well.

I checked with so many threads but don't know why the E720 Chic is being ignored.

Ok, back to the situation. I wanna root my Chic.
My PC run XP SP3. and as being told, I download the .Net Frame 4.0 and installed.
I got the SuperOneClick 1.9.1 and installed.
I got android-SDK installed.
My phone is running 2.2.1 firmware with the LG official ROM ver. 10e

I tried to root with SuperOneClick 1.9.1 but failed. The SOC application screen just freezed after showing : waiting device. And SuperOneClick was hang.

Did anybody get the Chic rooted successfully?
