hi, as the title suggests, im a noob at this, after years of using "not so smart" phones ive decided to give it a shot, got the LG Optimus Black, so far mighty satisfied with it but still ive read that the device could perform much much better by installing custom roms etc....
ultimately i wanna install the new cyanogen for the Optimus Black, so far i understand that
1) i have to root my phone
2) backup my original rom, files and apps
3) install custom rom
4) jerk off
but im facing a prob tho, hope you gurus here could point me in the right direction...
Ive tried rooting with
1) z4 root (hangs at the exploiting page)
2) Superone click (dosent do anything to my phone at all)
Details of my phone are
1) Model Number : LG P970
2) Android Version : 2.2.2
3) Baseband Version : XMM6160
4) Kernel Version : 2.6.32
5) Build Number : FRG83G
6) Software Version : LG-P970-V10d
help please.... will do a pole dance in return....
Here you'll find what you need to know about rooting

CM for the OB is still under developement and is not that stable for daily use so you take the risk by your own ^_^
AHHHHHH thanks so much!!!!
as for CM for OB thank you for the advice! will hold on abit longer then.... any other recommendations as to what other roms would work great with OB?
heard abt LG getting ICS but abit skeptical (GB was never delivered to OB, and even if they update to ICS would the phone itself manage to run the upgrade sucessfully... due to bloat and etc)
& Irochk when and where do you want the pole dance? =P
Could you do that in a video @ youtube? LOL
Have a nice new year's eve
I could..... but it would turn viral and I wouldve attained superstardom in a matter of seconds

LMAO !!!
your solution
i also had the same problem for a while and after many efforts i rooted my phone yesterday..........all i did was
1.updated my software from v10d ( as v10d is not possible to root till now ) to v10g ( it was the latest one till 2morow)
2.After updating........download superoneclick root 2.3.2 ( or newer if available )
3.connect your phone to computer via usb cable ( usb debugging on )
4.open superoneclick root and in advanced check 'use Alternate ADB Parser' and select 'psneuter' as your exploit.
5.click root
(it will hang on restarting 'something')
6.at that time uncheck usb debugging in apps>dev and the check usb debugging again.
7.you will have superuser now
this was the method that worked for me.......let me know if i was of some help

Ok, so this really seems to be a school-boy question, but I'm stuck.
I've flashed vanilla Gingerbread (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1073854) onto my Tab (P1000 UK model) using the non-bootloader version, all working fine. Now I want to root it so that I can grab a copy of the kernel and crack on with some Meego development.
I've tried two methods: SuperOneClick (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=803682) with the Gingerbreak method selected, it all runs (after messing about to get rid of the 7 cdcs driver using the *#7284# pda selection screen) and sits there saying "Gingerbreak running" (or words to that effect) but never stops or reboots.
I've also tried running Gingerbreak (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1044765) directly from the "Start menu" after moving it across to and installing on the device with ADBD and again it just sits there and doesn't seem to do anything (after 30min or more).
I've tried this both with an SD card mounted and with it un-mounted (running Gingerbreak on the device asks for it to be mounted, running SuperOneClick asks for it to be un-mounted.) In both cases I have usb debugging turned on (presumably that is required so that ADBD is running in the background - this is obviously working ok as otherwise SuperOneClick wouldn't get as far as running Gingerbreak.
So I'm just about out of ideas as to what is wrong. Has anyone else successfully used either SuperOneClick 1.9.1 or Gingerbreak?
Next step is to grab all the necessary files (Superuser, su, etc) and try running the original Gingerbreak exploit over the ADBD shell to see if the exploit is at fault and then just install them manually.
Any other ideas?
Hmm, more reading and apparently this loophole has been closed.

The tail end of the Gingerbreak threads on this forum say that the loophole has been closed afaict.
As I couldn't get it to work after a fair bit of trying, I assumed that was indeed the case and flashed Chainfire's pre-rooted kernel (CF-root).
Does anyone have a vanilla zImage backup they could post a link to for me, I don't want the CWM stuff in the CF-root kernel anyway and am also having troubles extracting the initramfs from it.
I'm going to alter the init binary and get back to Meego porting with the new kernel (which should now be easier to use with Meego's multitouch).
Thanks.

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.

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.

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.

Question: Does this method of rooting your Black leave the Phone untouched?
Cause my mobo died on me - and after the repair i got it back from maintenance with Stock V20N on it. I flashed then V20C, rooted it with SOC and put my Nadroid backup on it. I had then to install the LG Update (cheat with own little Webserver and edited LMHOST) to update to V20N / V20O. Now i am on V20O......
I have finally the phone and layout i like but miss root to Backup the current ROM.So after playing hours with it - and the upcoming CMW9 or Miui ROM around the corner - i need Clockword Mod. So question again short:
How to root V20O without losing settings / data / apps?
Pls advice and sorry if i overread the solution in some of the threads - i read them nearly all....

that method is for rooting GB right? but what about installing CWM?
Got my new OB and its on GB v20b..
That method is for flashing an already rooted version of v20.
Flash it (use the same version as you already have and make no wipes after)
then install superuser.zip and you ll have access to CWM.
That s all you gotta do.
Or flash v10a or similar with smartflash, root it, install cwm and then install any custom ROM you want. That s probably even easier.

okay.. now im confused where's the real thread or link for rooting GB v20b?
v20o root does not work
hi there,
first of all, I'm a noob in rooting and flashing, etc. I have a question regarding the mentioned v20o flashing (by SergovnikRZM):
I downloaded and installed all files, but in SmartFlashTool the start button is grey, I cannot start the process.
Also I cannot choose the Com Port and the LG Mobile USB serial port as the picture shows.
What should I do? Do you have any idea?
(I have a v20o Hungarian rom and the OS is xp sp3)
Thanks in advance and sorry if it's trivial but it is not mentioned in the steps..
How about enabling windows enabler? If your on Windows 7, you should run it as admin. you need to click on windows enabler, till it shows ON.
Ok, I will try, but this step was not mentioned...
(os is xp sp3)
when I tried the KDZ update I had to run windows enabler, and it was working well, and as I see this tool is also included to root, but this step is missing
Anyway, thanks your reply I will try it
Hello all
Im new to the world of LG, already owning Samsungs Galaxy phones, I'm familiar with 'Rooting, Odin, Reset Flash Counts,Roms etc'
So the LG Optimus 2X LGP990 Star I have is Android based and is currently running on:
Ginger Bread V 2.3.4
Baseband 1035.21
Kernel 2.6.32
Build Number GRJ22
LGE Version LGP990-V20I
So then the questions are:
Is there an alternative program to Odin ?
Is there a program similar to Samsung kies ?
Is there a recovery mode / download mode key config ?
Is there a 'firmware site' like 'sammobile' to download firmware from ?
Does ICS 4.0.x exist for this phone, if yes how can I install it?
I've been to the LG software support section and installed the Win Drivers and the support tool and thats about it for support.
It says the phone is at the latest version - V20L
So many thanks for reading and hope fully some one will be able to point me in the right direction.
:good::good:
Root the phone,install Rom Manager,open it and from its menu install Clockworkmod recovery which is the main tool u need for rom flashing.
Theres no ics sadly,we wait for it.
Sent from my LG-P990
you mean alternative for pc suit???
Alternative for LG PC suit is "my phone explorer", Google it. And firm ware is NV flash tool for installation of recovery mode "Do no use any app for installing CWM " you can get this tools by browsing xda in 2x forums.
I can not paste direct links,I am typing this message from my 2x.
And there will be an official update released soon.
Thank you.
Thats great to hear a possible ICS rom, hopefully official.
I'm surprised there wasn't one for this phone before the Samsung Galaxy Range.
Comparing the speed / responsiveness of the LG Optimus phone and the Samsung Galaxy S2 / Note - I'd say the speed of the optimus is far quicker and responsive - it's a nifty little phone :good:
There's another thead in this section on rooting the LGP 990 for the 1st time, just read it and the principles are the same as for the Galaxy S2 or Note.
So basically I use 'super one click 2.3.2' - probably an exe file for the pc?
I have CWM apk app installer I downloaded and kept for my Samsung phones - yes it works ok
But alternatively, I install:
1) Rom manager 1st - which then gives me the option to install CWM from within it
2) Boot into CWM recovery mode from that option in Rom Manager
No odin though, install rom image as a zip file from the ext / int sd card.
I notice there are no 'safe / unstable kernels to flash prior to and post rooting the LGP990?
I presume whatever rom I install, will erase / wipe over the original template already in the phone?
What is the best rom to install on the LGP990 at the minute, or is it worth just waiting for the ICS rom?
Cheers for the help :good:
The main advantage of the O2X as a dev phone, in my opinion, is that it is almost impossible to brick it, with the possible (but I didn't ever encounter it) exception of a failed baseband flash. It is really fool proof to root, no unsafe boot images or bootloaders to flash, simply run any known "hack" and you will end up with root.
There are many ways you can get into the custom ROM game. The easiest one was already mentioned: Root with SuperOneClick => ROM Manager => Flash CWM => boot into recovery from ROM Manager or by turning on the phone with power and Volume Down button pressed.
An alternative would be to use the script provided by Paul O Brien over at modaco which gives you a CWM installation without rooting or using ROM Manager.
Stock ROMs are available as .kdz files and pre rooted CWM images here in the dev section, enabling you to use NVFlash/Smartflash with the former and CWM with the latter to return your phone to a stock state. I suggest staying away from flashing basebands unless you have a specific problem you aim to solve with another baseband, our CM maintainer hasn't changed his baseband ever, and he (like me) uses the oldest version known to this forum. Whenever you flash a ROM, make sure your Baseband matches your RIL file, which can be done easily with the GetRIL app from the Play Store.
ICS ROMs to date are sort of hit and miss. I used owains builds, Nova HD and currently Paranoid Android. If you are fine with a glitchy Phone that might simply restart itself randomly once you open any app from time to time, can't record/play hardware accelerated video due to missing drivers or slow down if you haven't rebooted for a while you can flash away.
If you're comfortable with the Gingerbread builds atm I suggest flashing the latest CM7 RC or Nightly and wait for the official ICS update which will hopefully arrive in the next 2-3 months.

that's nifty nice quick cool understandable first info. thanks a lot. (I knew that already by searching way a lot more topics than it could be, but your summary is cool. Thanks again.)

I tried and tried to find a way to root my Lg Thrill 4G. I tried all of the options on the thread "Thrill 4G SuperOneClick 2.2 (EASY ROOT)", but I was still unable to root my phone. Here are the specs for my phone and the steps I took to successfully root my device:
Model Number: LG-P925

Build Number: GRJ90
Software Version: LGP925-V20p-FEB-22-2012
I found a forum with a windows command (CMD) program that rooted my phone. I can't post the link because I am still a junior member here.I found the link on theunlockr. I have attempted to attach the file below.
All credit goes to VulnFactory. All I did was find this. I take no credit or responsibility for the program. AS I HOPE EVERYONE ALREADY KNOWS, ROOTING YOUR PHONE VOIDS YOUR WARRANTY, AND YOU RUN THE RISK OF BRICKING YOUR PHONE IF YOU ATTEMPT TO ROOT. NEITHER I NOR VulnFactory ARE LIABLE IF YOU BRICK YOUR PHONE AFTER USING THIS PROGRAM.
I made sure I had the current LG drivers installed, disabled the LG Modem device in the Windows Device Manager, Enabled USB Debugging in my phone, and ran the program with my phone powered on and connected to my laptop. The program did the rest (and it did take a while).
I now have SuperUser permissions and am able to install apps such as SetCPU and Titanium Backup.
I hope this helps someone like me out there who had no idea how to overcome problems with superoneclick for the LG Thrill. I tried superoneclick 2.1, 2.2, 2.2.1, and 2.3.3 and had no sucess. I kept getting stuck at step 7 of the shell root process. This worked for me and I hope it works for you too.

All credit goes to VulnFactory. All I did was find this. I take no credit or responsibility for the program. AS I HOPE EVERYONE ALREADY KNOWS, ROOTING YOUR PHONE VOIDS YOUR WARRANTY, AND YOU RUN THE RISK OF BRICKING YOUR PHONE IF YOU ATTEMPT TO ROOT. NEITHER I NOR VulnFactory ARE LIABLE IF YOU BRICK YOUR PHONE AFTER USING THIS PROGRAM.
I made sure I had the current LG drivers installed, disabled the LG Modem device in the Windows Device Manager, Enabled USB Debugging in my phone, and ran the program with my phone powered on and connected to my laptop. The program did the rest (and it did take a while).
I now have SuperUser permissions and am able to install apps such as SetCPU and Titanium Backup.
I hope this helps someone like me out there who had no idea how to overcome problems with superoneclick for the LG Thrill. I tried superoneclick 2.1, 2.2, 2.2.1, and 2.3.3 and had no sucess. I kept getting stuck at step 7 of the shell root process. This worked for me and I hope it works for you too.
