Refine your thread title! Which version of Froyo do you have? V10x?
use search and type root v10 and the letter of your version. THen install ROM manger, install CWM, download a ROM you want, flash it to your device and have fun, or search for SmartFlash and use it to flash V20B to your device, since this is rootable already.
You probable will only need BlackJack to root it and the CWM.exe from here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1111771
my android version is froyo 2.2.2 v10b thx

thanks for the reply... what is the differences between v10a & v10d? any ideas?
If you plan to root the OB, don't upgrade to V10D coz still can not root, but V10B can

at this moment, i still don't have any plan to root the OB as the support & developers in xda forum is still a few on OB..after this forum is strong enough i'll do that.
Apparently i'm running the latest version 2.2.2 according to the update app. Is this right?
Handset is simfree and unbranded. would it have been better to be network branded?

Ok first of all you mean the app from the settings menu right? Secondly this is the latest froyo but the firmware has moved on to gingerbread 2.3.4. But i don't think you can do this update OTA(over the air). So you need lg update tool to update via pc connection. Hope i helped and sorry for this but before you post something do a search.. that is why there are forum rules. To obey them.

Fair play regarding the forum rules.
I've got the update tool installed on the pc stating. The Cell phone is the latest version already. So you don't need to update.
Country, uk
model lgp970
version v10b
Also pcsuite and all drivers installed,
It's a uk model, so can't as yet be upgraded by the lg tool

Nothing my friend. By the way you are lucky because whatever you choose surely will have english language.. do a little search and decide what is best for you. There is stock v20n rooted which is the european open. And there are some custom like zeus and marvel. Hope i helped.

Well, as far as i know LG programs can do that on pc. I have encountered one or two myself. I can't explain it. I don't know if yours is different. But my guess is there isn't a V20 rom released for your country. So check out this thread:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1480392
even if no rom released for my country the R&D should work but apparently it isnt
so i need help upgrading to GB

Hi Guys,
I am currently running temasek Kang 130. I have never flashed a baseband on my phone(I flash roms through recovery only).
1) That means I should still be running on the stock baseband(about phone says baseband is 1035.21_20110725) . Right?
2) So I should be able to return to pure stock by flashing a stock unrooted rom and removing CWM right?
3) If yes where can I find such roms???
PS: If there is noway but to go through flashing a baseband,How can I find whether I should flash v20m or v20l to return to stock(for warranty reasons)???
I am from India.
Thanks in advance

OK I have the ROM from the first link for a while now. I am afraid of flashing it as I would lose the stock baseband. Is there a way to preserve the baseband while flashing???
Friend download v20h from the first link it is sme as the bb ur currently on (BB for India)
Edit: i used it before returning my phone for repairs at the service center
Hey guys-
Looked for a thread about this and didn't find anything.
I read in some blog that in order to flash my stock rom to cyanogenmod 7.2, I need to have the latest gingerbread update.
a) is this true?
b) if so, how do I do it? Do I have to root it again once I get an official update?
thanks!
a. Nope. 2.3.4 is good. You can use 2.3.6 but not needed.
b. Yes, but as I said 2.3.4 works.
My baseband (stock ROM when I flashed CM is called baseband) is XXKPK 2.3.4. It works perfectly. But you need stock 2.3.6 from your country otherwise, 3G and GPS will not work.
So I purchased the phone in the country I live in - that mean I'm good to go?

Yes, as long as your phone is 2.3.x (Gingerbread) it's alright to flash CWM and then flash custom roms, don't have to be the latest version (2.3.6).

Yes. But if you want to update it to 2.3.6 you need to find a stock ROM from your country at samfirmware.com. But you don't need to update, because 2.3.4 is good. Now it depends on you.
