Hey just wondering is it possible to use an app called "gingerbreak" to root the P990 or do i have to use superoneclick?
And sorry for posting in the wrong section!
On some firmware its working, also z4root have been reported to work but also depending on firmware.
For rooting I would recommend doing with adb. Its more work but it pre-pairs you to solve problems that might come from "playing" with the device.

Okay thanks for the help
SuperOneClick includes the Gingerbreak exploit, so you can't go wrong with it.
i use superoneclick & use the psnetuer for the exploit.
can anyone help me with rooting my phone! i got stuck on lg logo in the morning and flashed to stock firmware! it has installed v10e on my phone and now i cant root it with gingerbreak or z4root.
i have tried superoneclick..but am not at ease with CMD and duno if am doing it the rite!
so can anyone give me a detail explanation how to root my phone plz!
I had the same problem, tryed every way mentioned to root 10e but none of them worked, so I used KDZU and downgraded to 10b and rooted with GingerBreak. I think that's going to be the easiest way for you.

Hi all.
I am wondering if someone might be able to recommend a ROM for my wife's AU P970. I have some flashing/unlocking experience with my HTC Desire HD, and my current Motorola Atrix though there were some very straight forward guides available for me to follow.
The reason I am looking for a new ROM is that my wife's P970 often freezes/lags and has a lot of Bluetooth audio issues.
Are there any beginner guides available for the P970?
Appreciate any help/advice.
Thanks,
callsignapollo
just use search and u'll find rom 2.3.4 oficial with root
I have a Virgin AU Black working on V2.3.4 root that others refer to on http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1441901 you will need to root your phone first and install Rom Manager in order to install.
Or you can use the factory KDZ update v2.3.4 and not have a rooted phone.
Both are great options. I have a non rooted - but custom install of the KDZ official ROM on my other P970 and both work great with my bluetooth.
I have a Australian BMW E39 with the BMW bluetooth system http://www.bimmernav.com/e39.html and both phones work flawlessly with the Bluetooth system.
There is no difference between the function on an Virgin or Vodophone AU phone using the generic firmwares mentioned above.
Again, if you are ok to root your phone, go with the zip install. If you are not comfortable rooting then go with the KDZ install. KDZ can be found with the LG KDZ upgrade tool

Hi
My problem is "Waiting for device"
My LG is on version 2.2.2 and it says that there is no Upgrade available
I spent 3-4 hours trying to root my phone but failed. Do I need to root cell phone before I upgrade to version 2.3.4 or can I switch to version 2.3.4 and then Root Cell Phone
Every time I try to Root my phone i get error "Waiting for device"
My debbugin is on, and I turned of my firewall is there something else i need to do to get Rooting Right ?
Thx
You can safely update to 2.3.4 and then root using one of these guides:

That second link for update to 2.3.4 GingerBread works 100% on my LG Optimus 2x ?
EDIT : Can i get link for updating my LG from Froyo 2.2.2 to Gingerbread 2.3.4 , safetly
It should work, follow the guide to the letter and you should have rooted your phone.
Here's your link:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1327929
Wait
First link is for Rooting phone
Second is for update to Gingerbread
Third is for Rooting phone on Gingerbread ?
No, the first three are all for rooting
The fourth one is for updating manually to GingerBread
Ok .. soo first i Root my phone by one of that 3 links and then i update to Gingerbread (4th link) ?
The other way around
If you first root and then update, you might lose your root, so...
First update then root.
By the way: After you root, do you want a stock LG rom or a custom one...?
Explame me what that means xD
Haha ok
Stock LG rom is just the normal rom from LG you have right now but then a little improved (removed unnecessary software and apps). Normally the people who like the looks of the stock rom choose Stock-based roms.
Custom roms are roms completely different than LG. They look different and they have different apps/software. Most people out here prefer custom roms like CyanogenMod or MIUI. I prefer CyanogenMod too because it's in my opinion overall better than stock rom.
You can find these roms in the development section. The reason why I asked you this is because if you want to have a custom rom, you don't need to update to 2.3.4. You just can root 2.2 and flash one of these custom roms over it. This will automatically update your phone to GingerBread.

Hmm ... well i wanna normal . Stock LG rom
Then update, using kdz method (4th link) to GingerBread and root.
Edit: haven't you tried the OTA update? It should be out right now...

No I didn´t try OTA update . I bought LG 2 days ago soo kinda new here xD
Try one first,
go to settings ----> about phone ----> phone version (or something like that, not sure) and do the update from there. Trust me, this is much easier than the kdz method. If there is no OTA, then you should use the kdz method.

Well i did this metod to root my phone http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=953182
But how i can be sure that my phone is Rooted successfully ?
There are a lot of ways to check that. You can either look in your app list for an app called Superuser. If you have this app then you should have rooted successfully. But if you want to be 100% sure, download the root checker app and see for yourself .
Hey guys,
I just rooted my phone yesterday on stock 2.3.4 and got this annoying issue: Every time I shut down and restart my phone, some settings revert to default on their own. For instance, text input language becomes german (was the default language when I bought the phone), input text sounds are activated again, and so are mobile networks which I must disable quickly because they mean charges.
Could you please shed some light here? Thanks!

AFAIK, this is the only way... Because you have no OTA it seems that this is the only option. But I'm not sure about that.
My advice is to search, perhaps there is an easier way to do so.
EDIT: Download Rom Manager (app) and from there install ClockworkMod Recovery. With recovery you can flash a stock-based gingerbread rom on your phone! (how could I not think of that earlier ) make sure to do a nandroid backup in recovery mode.
EDIT 2: You might wanna try this: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1408919
Flash this in recovery mode.
Or you can just go directly to the latest KANG-54 build. Android 2.3.7, very stable and smooth as butter.

finally found a way to root my LG 2x P990.
superoneclick did not work for 2.3.4
neither did gingerbreak.
what did work was a program called unlock root 1.2
just thought i would share
Thanks
SuperOneClick v2.3.3-ShortFuse worked for my P990. Although it could be necessary to remove your microSD-card. Don't know why but it helps.
Thanks for the sharing
Hi,
Finally, I was able to root my LG O2X easily using Unlock Root, been searching for root method for my O2X after upgrading to 2.3.4, luckily I able to found one after all...
now I got my Superuser apps there with the root access, so I am up to higher level mods for my O2X
Thanks for the sharing
BTW, for those looking for the apps, here is the link: unlockroot.com
yeah. for some reason 2.3.4 GB. wouldnt get past step #7 no matter what i tried using superoneclick 2.3.3
first time bang done on "Unlock Root 1.2"

Thanks, Gingerbread 2.3.4 stock ROM with SpuerOneClic 2.3.3.0 said it rooted but it wasn't.
Tried unlocked root 2.2.1 and worked perfectly.
