Hi,
It's probably many people who have been asking the same thing, sorry if it's already a thread out there.
But I'm totally new to this. I now want to root my phone and use a custom ROM and maybe a other kernal too, whatever kernal is for
Which ROM is the best out there? And I have no idea of how to root my phone and install a custom ROM, maybe some advices?
Thanks.
/Sorry if I don't have the best english
If you want to root your phone and you're on Froyo (Android 2.2) use this guide: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=953182
If you're on Gingerbread (Android 2.3) , you can use this guide: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1327599
You can flash custom ROMs by installing them in ClockworkMod Recovery mode. This is a special menu which allows you to flash custom ROMs and kernels and make backups of your rom.
You can enter recovery mode with either:
1. ROM Manager, select reboot into recovery.
2. While phone is on, press power button and then select reboot and then recovery. (Basically the same as 1)
3. While phone is off, boot with holding the power button and volume down button until the second lg logo with the blueish background appears.
Flashing: (In recovery mode)
1. Make a backup (Titanium Backup or NANDroid)
2. Wipe Everything
Wipe data/factory reset (this won't erase your root)
Wipe cache
Go to advanced and wipe Dalvik cache.
Wipe Battery Stats
3. Go to install zip from sdcard. (you have to put the rom you wish to install on the sd card)
4. Again install zip from sdcard (install Google apps, can be found in the CyanogenMod wiki) (same way as installing rom)
5. (optional) install zip from sd card and flash kernel. (same way as installing rom)
6. Done, reboot phone.
The best rom is just a matter of taste actually. It just depends on what you want, some prefer CyanogenMod and others just want an improved stock rom. So all you gotta do is read and make up your own mind. Also when you flash a kernel you have to make sure that the kernel in question is compatible with your rom, because there are many kernels in the dev section and they all work either with stock-based ROMs (Horsepower Kernel) or custom ROMs (Ironkernel, Vadonkas KANG kernel).
My opinion is to use the combination:
Temaseks CM KANG:

Nvm, I misread it It was in the recovery mode.
I got a problem now, I have installed the custom RM and kernel, but the problem now is that I can't connect the phone to the computer via USB to put files in my phone. Do I need some new drivers or something?
Edit: When I try to use the camera it just wsays that I need to use my SD card. It might be something else that wrong, just with the SD card?
Edit2: it seems that I can only get acces to the SD card from the computer by the recovery mode?
try to shut down the device and boot instead of rebooting(if you did that) some sdcards have problems with a reboot and do not get recognized.

Are u talking about the internal sd or a external sd? For use the internal sd (the data partition of the device's memory) there is an option in the settings. I don't remember now I'm using a Miui based rom. For the usb connection u must have the driver of the device, u can take it in the lg web site

I actually meant the internal, cuz I don't have a external card. Where can I find that setting? It's so many settings so I get confuesed when I try to look for other settings All program that seems to need the internal SD card seems to say it, the camera, ROM manager and other apps.
And I have a sall problem with spotify, it won't start at all. Is this normal with this ROM?
i have a question, if lets say i flashed cyanogen mod 7.1 stable on my lg optimus 2x and i want to flash, for example temasek kang cyanogen mod, can i just download the .zip files and copy it over to the phone and flash. is there such thing as downgrading in android like in symbian, im also a newbie, also another question, the rom files or .zip in clockworkmod on internal storage, can they be deleted after flashing the files on the phone

1. Yep, just copy it to your phone, boot into recovery and install zip from sd card.
2. Downgrading is possible, make sure to wipe.
3. After flashing you can safely remove the zip file from your phone
thx for the quick reply, could you elaborate more on the part of downgrading, does that mean i cant just simply flash another rom
also on the first page you recommended CM7.2 Temasek KANG rom and Vadonkas KANG kernel, how do you install that, do i just flash the cm 7.2 temasek kang rom, or do i have to flash the kernel, and which one comes first
also what is the kernel for, as i noticed when i flashed cyanogen mod 7.1 stable, the kernel was automatically changed

Downgrading
You flash the rom you want over the one you have right now, just wipe everything. (you can always restore it later with a backup) For example when you have a CM KANG an you want to go back to a nightly just flash it over the KANG.
First you flash the KANG rom and then you flash the kernel. If you do it the other way around you erase the kernel flash because as you know every rom comes with a standard kernel. (More information, look at my first post in this thread)
The main goal of flashing a custom kernel is increasing the performance and have the ability to overclock and to undervolt. The standard kernel which comes with CM stable doesn't allow you to overclock your CPU to for example 1.5Ghz. Standard kernel only clocks to 1Ghz.
Simple question: If I root my phone when it's on "stock' (i.e. as it comes out the box when it turns up soon), and then upgrade to the LG Official latest release via their website.. will I have to root the phone again?

1:
Google "SuperOneClick" - http://shortfuse.org/?page_id=2.
Set your phone to "development mode", or whatever it is in english, under your program settings and plug it into your PC with the program running.
It should be as simple as clicking "Root" with the newest version of the program.
2:
Download "Rom Manager" from the market and install "ClockWorkMod" through that program.
3 - preparation:
- Turn off your phone and hold down the "Volume Down" button + the "Power" button untill you see the LG logo shift into, what resembles a loading screen.
- In ClockWorkMod, you navigate up and down with the volume buttons and the power button selects an option.
- Go to "Backup and Restore" and back up your system. This is a so-called Nandroid backup.
- plug your P990 into your PC and copy that backup file. It's most likely on your external SD-Card.
_____________________________________________
- Find a suitable ROM, I use this one: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1421425
At the bottom of the fist post, you can find download links.
The Google Apps: http://www.mediafire.com/temasek#5xfvkc2nlfk5v
You need that file to install the marketplace. It'll be called something in the vein of "gapps-gb-20111214-237-signed".
The ROM itself: http://www.mediafire.com/temasek#3edh9d36u710w
The file will have a name in the vein of "cm7kang-O2x-P204-38"
_____________________________________________
4:
Now that you have your ROM/Google Apps (GAAPS) and a backup file, you're ready to get started.
Copy the ROM and GAAPS ZIP files to your SD-card. Then turn it off and enter ClockWorkMod by way of "Volume Down/Power" buttons.
5:
Back in ClockWorkMod, navigate to "install zip from sdcard" ---> "choose zip from sdcard/choose zip from internal sd card" and make sure you can find your files before proceeding.
6:
- Assuming everything is ok, choose "wipe data/factory reset" in the main menu of ClockWorkMod.
-Once done, choose "install zip from sdcard" and install your ROM.
-repeat the process for the Google Apps file.
Once done, choose "wipe cache partition" in the main menu along with "wipe dalvik cache" under the "advanced" option.
After that, choose to turn off the phone and turn it on to boot your new ROM for the first time.
Prepare to troubleshoot a bunch, you're probably used to a bunch of stuff that are'nt to be taken for granted
Feel free to ask me questions and criticism is welcome, considering this is just a short guide; and my rooting experiences started this saturday.

search for 20o patched bin and fls files and flash them with smartflash and from there flash any ROM you like.
CM9 is not suitable as an everyday rom, try another one, personally I will recommend you CM7 or Zeus(thou I dont know if the have LTR support).
In face I rooted it by unlock root before then I flashed the cm9
I detected the errors then I re-flashed the stock rom with smart flash tool
but now I want to root again I can't
why???
also is cm7 stable and can I download it from cm website directly or where can I download it??
is cm7 supports rtl support(especially arabic)??
Is cm7 have thread in this forum??
Patched v20o comes with cwm recovery so from there you can flash any rom, yes you should.always get cm from official site or look for temasek kang in general forum.

I have a rooted 2.2 Captivate with Clockwork mod version 2.5.1.2 installed. Rom manger acts as though everything is working but when I go to reboot into CWM recovery I get the stock 3e. I go to reinstall packages. I end up with "E:failed to verify whole-file signature" "E:signature varification failed" My intentions were to follow the instructions I found on Android Authority.
they are:
1. Copy the Devil RC3 kernel and the CyanogenMod 10 V2 ROM files to your Captivate’s internal SD Card.
2. Turn off your Captivate.
3. Boot into Recovery Mode. You can do this by pressing and holding down the Volume Up, Volume Down, and Power buttons. When the screen turns on, let go of all three buttons.
*I'm stuck at this point because it won't load CWM
4. In recovery, use the Volume keys to navigate and the Power button to select.
5. Make a NANDroid Backup of your current ROM. Select Backup and Restore and select Backup.
6. Select Wipe Data/Factory Reset. Confirm the action on the next page.
7. Select Install ZIP from SD Card.
8. Select Choose ZIP from SD Card and locate the Devil RC3 kernel.
9. After the Devil RC3 kernel has finished flashing, choose Install ZIP from SD Card again.
10. Select Choose ZIP from SD Card and locate the CyanogenMod 10 V2 ROM file.
11. After the CyanogenMod 10 V2 ROM file has finished flashing, select Go Back.
12. Select Advanced > Fix Permissions.
Return to main recovery menu and select Reboot System Now.
Thanks in advance.

I have a question. Do I need to flash the Devil RC3 kernel or should I just install the CyanogenMod 10 V2 rom from zip? Or should I flash the speedmod kernel on odin, then from CWM install the Devil RC3 kerenel, Then install CyanogenMod 10 V2. I just wondered if the two kerenels would conflict or if I would even need Devil RC3?

First of all you're getting a little ahead of yourself in trying to get to CM10 from where you are. Being on 2.2 you will need to get to a gingerbread ROM first as the bootloaders are different and will cause issues trying to go to CM10 if you don't go to gingerbread first.
The following link will take you to some one-click utilities that will update you to gingerbread along with the needed bootloaders. Also I suggest picking one from the list that says it has a CWM kernel injected so that you can save a step after the flash and have a CWM recovery kernel already installed.
Once you've used the one-click you shouldn't need to flash either of the kernels you've mentioned you should technically be able to just flash the CM10 and be good. Although when it comes to flashing the CM10 I suggest you go to the creaters thread or site and follow their exact directions for installing!

Hi guys! I believe most of you obtained root via this method by Jiangyi: [TUTORIAL] Root access for ICS on I9100G which requires a temporary CWM. Quite a few users face problems because in temporary CWM, internal storage is swapped with external storage, i.e. sdcard=internal storage, internal sdcard=external storage. It may be confusing for newbies, especially on their first attempt on rooting. Therefore, I decided to release an easier method, where you can flash the zip files directly via stock 3e recovery!
Requirements:
- Running a stock ICS/JB ROM
- External sdcard
Features:
- SuperSU v0.99 by Chainfire
- Busybox v1.20.2 by Stericson
- No yellow traingle
- No increase in binary counter
Instructions (Root):
1. Download SU-BB-Installer.zip from here: http://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=9390233485161005747
2. Place it in your external sdcard.
3. Power off your device COMPLETELY.
4. Boot into recovery mode by pressing Volume up + Home + Power buttons simultaneously.
5. Navigate to "apply update from external storage" using the volume buttons.
6. Select it by pressing the Power button.
7. Select SU-BB-Installer.zip.
8. Wait for it to finish and navigate up (select "../").
9. Select "reboot system now".
10. Congratulations, you now have root and busybox!
Optional: (For ICS only)
To obtain CWM recovery in order to start flashing ROMs or mods, read on:
1. Download kTool from Play Store: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=net.hellcat.droiddev.ktool
2. For ICS: Download the CWM recovery kernel by codeworkx from here: [KERNEL][GT-I9100G] ClockworkMod Recovery 6.0.1.2
3. Extract the .tar file and you will get a file named zImage.
4. Place the zImage in the root of your internal storage.
5. Launch kTool and select "Flash kernel from /sdcard/zImage".
6. Reboot and profit! If you boot into recovery by Volume Up + Home + Power buttons, you will now see CWM recovery.
Optional: (For JB only)
To obtain CWM recovery in order to start flashing ROMs or mods, read on:
1. Download one of the stock recovery flashable zips of Blazing Safe Kernel from here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2293576
2. Place it in your external sdcard.
3. Power off your device COMPLETELY.
4. Boot into recovery mode by pressing Volume up + Home + Power buttons simultaneously.
5. Navigate to "apply update from external storage" using the volume buttons.
6. Select it by pressing the Power button.
7. Select the zip.
8. Wait for it to finish and navigate up (select "../").
9. Select "reboot system now".
6. Reboot and profit! If you boot into recovery by Volume Up + Home + Power buttons, you will now see CWM recovery.
Instructions (Unroot):
1. Download SU-BB-Unstaller.zip from here: http://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=9390233485161005748
2. Place it in your external sdcard.
3. Power off your device COMPLETELY.
4. Boot into recovery mode by pressing Volume up + Home + Power buttons simultaneously.
5. Navigate to "apply update from external storage" using the volume buttons.
6. Select it by pressing the Power button.
7. Select SU-BB-Unstaller.zip.
8. Wait for it to finish and navigate up (select "../").
9. Select "reboot system now".
10. You are now unrooted.
**NOTE: In order to use this method to unroot, you MUST use my method to root before this.
Optional (remove CWM recovery)(For ICS only):
This is the tricky part, the easiest way is to reflash a whole firmware via ODIN. But if you like new methods, try this:
1. DO NOT uninstall kTool or unroot your phone first!
2. Obtain a stock zImage (either you download it or extract it from a firmware package), make sure that it is meant for the firmware you are using.
3. Place the zImage in the root of your internal storage.
4. Launch kTool and select "Flash kernel from /sdcard/zImage".
5. Reboot and if you boot into recovery by Volume Up + Home + Power buttons, you will now see the default stock 3e recovery.
6. Now you can unroot your device.
Optional (remove CWM recovery)(For JB only):
1. Download stock_XXLSR_kernel.zip from here: http://bit.ly/XCEejd and place it into your external sdcard/internal sdcard.
3. Power off your device COMPLETELY.
4. Boot into recovery mode by pressing Volume up + Home + Power buttons simultaneously.
5. Navigate to "Install zip from sdcard" using the volume buttons.
6. Select it by pressing the Power button.
7. Select "Install zip from sdcard" if you placed it in the external sdcard, or select "Install zip from internal storage" if you placed it in the internal sdcard.
8. Navigate and select stock_XXLSR_kernel.zip.
9. Wait for it to finish.
10. Select "reboot system now".
11. CWM recovery is now replaced by stock 3e recovery, and back to stock kernel too.
That's all from me. Happy rooting!

Mount and remount your SD Card =)
Really great guide man. Super simple. Will use this to root my gf's 9100G and get her on CM once I get back to India. Especially helpful because she just burned out her USB port by dropping the phone in a toilet so she can't use odin. =_=

Keep in mind that you need an EXTERNAL SDCARD for this...Or you are already using one, you will have to wait a while in recovery if that happens...it takes some time...if not, reinsert your sdcard...
This is going to be a bit of a noob question, but I'm new to samsungs, I swear that rooting is very different on everything else.
Is this the best way to flash a new aosp rom? The phone is not ICS at the moment, so I was going to flash stock ICS, follow this tutorial to root, and then install some jb rom like rootbox. Or can I just do temporary CWM and flash the root box on there and keep cwm?

No, JB ROMs require ICS bootloader...so the best way is to flash a stock ICS ROM, root it and get a kernel with CWM, then only flash the new ROM...

What are you on? Are you sure you are on ICS? That only happens for GB...
Thanks mate 4 quick reply..
But I'm sure my phone is ICS..already updated with Samsung kies 4.0.3
Re: [NEW][GUIDE][ICS] How to Root/Unroot Your I9100G Via Stock Recovery
Hmm...weird then...it works for most of us...then you'd have to try the method by Jiangyi on another thread...maybe Sammy changed some stuff...:\
Did the su bb installer link dead? I cant open it.
I've seeing more and more ROM being released for the new bootloader but there's little informations about it. Do I need to flash it with nvflash or something?

pengus has allready writen a how to:
ICS:
If you come from any ICS with unlocked bootloader (Topogigi, Carburano, etc...):
1) grab the recovery zip and the cm10 or the cm10.1 zip attached to this post
2) enable debug in developer options (if you haven't already of course)
3) connect the usb cable to your box
4) copy the two zips in your external sd card
5) reboot to recovery by holding power and volume down
5) wipe data/cache, then go to mounts and format system (just to be safe)
6) flash the recovery zip file you previously slapped in the external sd card
7) reboot recovery from the advanced menu
8) flash the cm10 zip as usual
GB:
If you come from a GB Bootloader (cm7/9/10 - stock gb): (you can follow this guide or the excellent one posted by rugglez here)
1) grab the recovery zip and the cm10 or the cm10.1 zip attached to this post
2) copy the two zips in your external sd card
3) grab one of the ICS roms out there (Django Manouche X, TG P990 ICS V30A, or whatever you prefer based on V28 or V30).
4) nvflash the rom you chose following the instructions on the relative pages and let the phone boot fully (so it formats your internal sdcard correctly).
5) after first boot, shutdown the phone.
6) turn on the phone and boot it to recovery by holding power and volume down.
7) flash the recovery zip file you previously slapped in the external sd card
8) reboot recovery from the advanced menu
9) flash the cm10 zip as usual
latest cm10 --> http://d-h.st/1BU
latest cm10.1 --> http://d-h.st/8OV ( experimental)
recovery zip : http://forum.xda-developers.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=1587153&d=1356306192
hope this helps
