I cant root my phone. I bought it from UK. and How can i install software in mu phone. anyone please help me.
I update my lg gt540 to 2.1 eclair, but I could not root as many others have explained. Then I tried programs for rooting:
Universal Androot did not work
SuperOneClick It hanged at “rageagainst the cage” (I ran it on Linux)
z4root WORKS

Actually, Z4 makes it possible to run root apps (eg. Titanium backup). I have been able to do that before. But, I can’t get root access throug adb, which I could before.
I also found this, but I haven’t tried it. It looks like you have adb root access as well:

Well, I have NOT been able to run root apps when I had rooted gt540 with 1.6. But, thanks to z4root, I can now on 2.1 eclaire, and having installed Superuser and Super manager, I can remove ALL the apps I like. E.g. Sims3.
