New exchanged cappy

So i just got a new cappy on exchange from bby and have some questions prior to roming.
I had a 1007 build and got a 1010. What root methods are good for preloaded 2.2?
Can i odin one click to 2.1 like with my first one and root from there?

If you are going to flash a custom rom there is no need to root. Flash speedmod kernel with odin to get cwm and flash rom in recovery.
If you want a gingerbread rom the added step of flashing gingerbread bootloaders is required. Still no need to root.
But if you were going to root, super one click would be the way.

Thank you

Also that Odin one click (JF6) doesn't work well with builds 1010 and later.

Is there anyway to return to stock safely?

I think you can use the full Odin and flash a stock firmware. If you are GB bootloaders you will have to flash back to froyo/eclair bootloaders... which, flashing btldrs is not necessarily safe, just keep the cat and dog out of the room so they don't rip the cord out mid flash

Why don't you just TRY SuperOneClick and if it doesn't work, use Megatron Root?

Used megatron mhself works great

Megatron worked for me on almost all gB basebands

By far Megatron is the BEST root tool for GB. I used SuperOneClick on many devices before but I struggled with my GB based Rogers O3D. I came across MegaTron root and it worked the first time with absolutely NO problems. I wouldn't use anything else for my GB stuff.

Noob question. .....Do i still need to install the recovery img?

You should try yourself. There's a good guide in the development section. You'll have to search for the guide though, its lost in the pages of the development section

You will need to know how to decompile and recompile kernels for this to even come close to working..

I'm thinking about using the IcyGlitch v14 kernel. I'm in the process of testing it right now, but I'm a little big tentative because I don't have a dev phone and my Cappy is the only phone I have atm.
I'm probably going to need some advice from seasoned ROM devs

Its not as simple as placing a new kernel in the ROM. It has to be edited...

You can't hard brick without flashing BLs...

[Q] Problems Rooting LG Thrill 4g

First things first, I am a Noob.. I have an ATT LG Thrill 4G that a friend has given me. It's hardlocked. I was told that rooting and flashing the ROM to Factory Origin, would remove the hardlock. However, I have tried every way mentioned in all the threads, tried SuperOneclick, Megatron, Unlock Root Pro and a few others. However, my phone just does not want to root.. Any help/sugestions would greatly be appreciated.

What os are you using? I
