Hello,
I got a LG OB P970H, i tried rooting using superoneclick and gingerbrick, both failed rooting my device.
Is there a problem with it beeing "H", or 2.2.2?
Which version is it exactly? V10x? Whats the X? some versions contain patches.
But simply search BlackJack and give it a try, I bet I'll do the trick
Since u thanked, i think it worked, but pls always leave a reply, so others know if it worked or not

Hey guys, i dont know if i posted in the right place but here it goes......
Ok so i jus got the lg optimus black p970 and first thing was first to upgrade as told by t-mobile i could upgrade to 2.3.....
Ok so i use the lg updating software on pc and it says i was being updated from 1.6 -2.1 although in (about phone) it says 2.2.2 bfore and after the s/w upgrade :s
So to cut it short i want to upgrade to 2.3 and i hear i need custom rom and root (only ever used super one click for galaxy tab) meaning lack of exp rooting lg....
will the gingerbreak root work for the lg thats not on 2.3 and is there a solid walkthrough about that you guys can link me too so i can fully understand what i am doing......what i have found doesnt explain much and i dare not risk it....
Thanks in advance

thanks man
If you want to root your LG P970 than u should use gingerbreak. There is a really nice topic made by Noejn explaining how to do it in the android development section of Black forum. There are no custom rom's yet but I think that they will appear in a short period.

Gingerbread update still hasn't been released by LG for the Optimus Black. What the T-mobile rep might have meant is that the LG Optimus Black is upgradeable to 2.3, which it is. It's just that the Android 2.3 update still isn't available yet for the OB.
Once custom ROMs are made based on AOSP 2.3 or CyanogenMod, then you can have Gingerbread for your OB.
LG might be releasing the official Gingerbread update on September based on this thread: http://android.modaco.com/content/lg-optimus-black-black-modaco-com/342281/2-3-gigerbread-official-release/
I've tryed SuperOneClick, Esteem and Gingerbreak without any luck. None of those seem to gain access to root files.
I dont want flashed ROMs, I got official 2.3.4 (V20A firmware) update and just want to get root access to fix the button lights and some other stuff.
Please Help, Thank you!
(and Yes, I searched this forum without any luck)
If you have searched and not found, it is not prompting you to think that this is not possible?
It is possible, just that he doesn't know how to search properly.
Trolling in the deep
I do think it is possible, but this firmware has been recently released so there may be less people asking about this.
Search for cwm injection method. This should also work with p970h

You can also inject the official updater. You dont need r&d tool, just select the other process of lg updater tool. Then you get root with the same method. Or flash v10a with smartflash, root it with gingerbreak.apk and then install a custom rom. Thats probably the easiest way.

Thank you for your answers, UnlockRoot 2.3 did the trick. Now my phone is rooted!
You can close this post...
Well, I'm not sure I I've had it for, but when ever I go to call someone I get always get black screen of death. Though never happens when I receive a call.
Does anyone else have this problem? Or does anyone know a way to get rid of it? Cheers

If you want some answer, it sure will helped that you have written some info about your rom&kernel&baseband. I assume that you are using some custom stuff and that your problem lies in that way.

I knew i forgot something aha.
But nah, it doesnt matter what combination of rom, kernel, baseband and rill i try. it stills ends up with bsod.
i just wanted to know if anyone else out there have had this or still have this problem
and right now im running Topogigi's latest with 725 bb and rill.
So it happens all the time on every rom? Strange. Try to flash latest stock rom with belonging baseband and see how it works.
Or try this Rebuild of V20Q (flash the v20q baseband too)
It is.
I was running that just last week, the problem still appeared aha :/

Usually ppl refer it as BSOD instead of BOS here.. thankfully you already elaborated what BOS is to avoid confusion. just telling..
Is it this only problem on your phone? Is it present from the first day or it comes when you start flashing custom stuff? When did you first seen this bsod? Try downgrade your phone (e.g. on v10), erase all android stuff on sd card, then upgrade it via lg upgrade tool.
If your call bsods have been happening since you got your phone, on stock firmware, kernel, and BB. Then I would quit troubleshooting and return the phone to the shop.

I'm not sure if I've had it from stock, I just never realised.
Yeah really should, but that's a large amount of hassle. And I rarely use outgoing calls. So its not a great problem for me.
Cheers anyway

I'm a newbie with lg android, I got a good deal for an unlocked LG thrill so I bought it and now I find out LG won't be supporting Thril with future updates. So I need to flash the KDZ from P920 to P925. I have gone through the forum, still I'm unable to do So. The actual problem is I'm unable to flash the kdz file v21e with the methods told in this site. At the last part the LG software updater creeps up teiing me that I have the Latest Software and Need Not Update.
Please, I need Step by step instruction as I cannot make out what I did wrong.

I finally got my phone back! Rooted ics from xbsa. All seems to be working fine. I had to reset my laptop, I got a virus that was slowly eating away at my system32 folder, which is why I was having such a hard time flashing any from successfully. Anyway I got another thrill, so if anyone needs a guinee pig, I have a test phone and time on my hands. Thank you all for your help!:laugh:
Which baseband did you put on your phone?
@pollutedmuse have u rooted on official ics? if yes kindly help me too

I flashed xbsav28broot.zip which is pre rooted and has twrp. Now she's on the v8 rom. I have been trying to root my other thrill which is running stock 30b and havn't been successful at all, for some reason the drivers are showing up. As for base band, that is a problem because both devices are omap4430/xmm6260, as such, they are on euro networks. I know from developer xbsall threads (check out his roms, very cool stuff) that I need a different baseband, and to change the network commands, but inspire of hours riffleing through sea threads I have yet to find instructions. I am sorry I couldn't be more help, I am brand new to this stuff. Good luck fellas. Drasric00 created a great thread "a moons guide to xbsa v8 ice 3d with acid audio" tremendously helpful, except for the baseband thing.
