Default Universal Androot Beta
I must confirm that Universal Androot 1.6.2 worked on my LG Ally as a one click root/unroot program. Here is a link. No need for a computer.

Universal Androot has worked on the Ally since 1.6. Rooting any other way is just ******ed.

UA is how I rooted my Ally and it took all of 10 seconds to do. I even unrooted and re-rooted just to make sure I could if need be. And thank goodness for UA because I wasn't going near rooting if I had to do it manually. Those directions went way over this old guys head.

The uninstall process for a rooted user is a little more complicated than just uninstalling from the Applications menu.

You will need a terminal app or adb installed on your pc.

You will need to open the terminal, type su, then rm the applications manually.

There is a good THREAD about it

Or you could use Titanium Backup? Just make sure you know what you are uninstalling.

Hint: Don't uninstall gtalk or the default texting app.

Velocity is a custom ROM for the LG Ally. The LG Ally ships with 2.1 only.

I'm new to this site and I am hoping that someone can help me. I am using 2.1 update1 on my LG Ally, I am trying to get Universal Androot to work for the last 2 days. To no avail I keep getting the "failed! nofugoo" error. I have tried every version on every setting possible. If anyone could give me some insite I would appreciate it.

Thanks in Advance,

z4root from the market has been confirmed to work as well. Make sure you have USB Debugging turned on.

FIXED! It was rooted I think, but i had the "Storage space is getting low" warning and didn't think it mattered...apparently I did, freed up space, rooted via z4root and everything is okey dokey! awesome, already downloaded titanium backup and granted it superuser permission to test, works great!

I was not able to root with Universal Androot 1.6.1 or 1.6.2. I then went looking for z4root but it's not in the Market. So I went out and found a web link for it via Google and was able to install z4root from there. I was able to successfully root with z4root.

I dunno what I'm still doing wrong, but I tried Universal Androot AND Z4Root, and neither worked. I keep getting "No ~~~ fu goo~~~" for UA, and Z4 just rebooted my phone. Am I missing a step or app or something? Help!
