LG 2.2-2.3 Rooting

Hello,
I have an LG P500H that according to the settings menu is currently on Android version 2.2
I've read in countless places that this device is eligible to be upgraded to an official 2.3. Through the LG support tool a notice displays there is an available update which im assuming is the 2.3 itself.
My question is with regards to rooting. I have located a thread about rooting this device on 2.2 firmware but nothing specifying any process for 2.3. If I root on 2.2 my assumption is I will lose my root once I upgrade. How would I go about rooting this device on official 2.3 firmware.
Thanks to everyone for reading.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Here I will list the only post I've found referencing this involving rooting through ADB. Can anyone confirm? Or suggest a safer method to ensure success with no issues? The post is as follows:
The LG Optimus One P500 is the one of the best budget Android phones around. Now it can be updated to Android 2.3.3 Gingerbread, then the purpose of writing this article is to help you to root stock gingerbread in an easy way. LG Android Phones
How to root Android 2.3 Gingerbread on LG Optimus One P500:
1. Read everything first and after do what is necessary:
What Is ADB and How To Install It With Android SDK, please go to here.
INSTALLING ANDROID SDK ON YOUR WINDOWS PC from here)
Don’t forget to restart your PC after installations. LG Phone Problem and Solution
2. Download and install SuperOneClick. You can download the tool from here.
3. In adb:
adb devices
adb shell
echo 1 > /data/local/lge_adb.conf
After that open SuperOneClick and root using pneuter. Reboot phone and update Superuser from Market.
This instruction works fine on my LG Optimus One, I had some problems updating superuser, kept force closing, but after restart, it works. hit thanks if this was useful for you.
EDIT: So I try to update software through LG support tool. The first screen of the tool checks the software and says there is an update available. Doesn't specify what version. When the option to start the update is selected the second tool launches and says device is not able to be updated. Another question would be what exactly is going on with that? and how to go about getting the official 2.3 on this P500H. Thanks.

This is ridiculous.
I check the TELUS website which is the carrier for my device. Turns out the only "update" listed on their end is 2.2.1 and the instructions stated my device needed to upgrade as I was running 2.2
So I go ahead and update my device and everything completes as the instructions stated.
Well, now the phone is stuck in a bootloop at the android logo and will not go further. Thanks TELUS.
Edit: Hard reset fixed this issue, now running 2.2.1. Getting really fed up with this so called official 2.3 that I can not seem to get. Anyone with answers please assist.

heres the official gb rom:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1140862

Thank you for the link. I looked over the thread and noticed that the post mentions v20g and v20c versions for download.
I'm guessing these are international versions as I have checked my phones About menu and noticed I have a software version listed as LG-P500H-v10s
How would this impact installing official 2.3 or is there anywhere I can acquire a version for my device.
Thanks

Doesn't really matter which one you use
V20c is unbranded, don't know about v20g.

Would it be correct to say that the reason I cant get this software update through the LG Support Tool or on my Canadian carriers website is because it isn't offered at this time by my specific carrier?
Therefore its been put out mainly to international carriers, hence why I would have to use an unbranded generic firmware? Just wanted to inquire so that when I complete the flash I'm fully educated as to which version I'll be using. Does anyone happen to know if NFC (near field communication) is supported in this unbranded version?
EDIT: Just to add. There appears to be a notice at the bottom of the page mentioning no 2G/3G data - wait for new release. Is this relative to the official 2.3?

So I am experiencing much lag on the 2.2.1 firmware that I am currently running ton this P500H for these reasons I will be attempting to flash to the official 2.3 in hopes of better performance.
Looking to clarify some instruction from the OFFICIAL LG GB thread listed in one of the responses. The tutorial states to flash "the russian way" and provides a HOW TO for using the LG DMP tool. In the tutorial the method says "This HOWTO is for users who want to switch from stock LG 2.3.3 ROM to CM7 or other older ROMs that are NOT based LG's on v20 ROM or vice versa"
My question with the statement is how does it impact the fact that Im on a stock 2.2.1 not flashing to a CM7 or vice versa. Which baseband would I be using as I am not sure what exactly this 2.3 is based on and I am running a v10s.
My guess is I would download the second baseband file in the thread listed as "- P500-v20G-baseband.7z is for official v20[abdg....] ROMs and ROMs based upon it (e.g., GingerLOL, v20G stock ROM, customized v20G ROM, 0x0v3rfl0w ROM and GingerCriccoROM)." and then flash the v20g 2.3 firmware.
If anyone can elaborate so that I dont brick this device when flashing
Another part of the article says "Eventually, all new ROMs will switch to new baseband by default, so it is useful as well if you want to avoid the complete KDZ/Russian way flash which wipes everything." Would this mean flashing "the russian way" with .kdz file would mean not having to change the baseband in the LGDMP tool. Kind of like an all in one solution instead of a drawn out process? I found a post with instructions for KDZ updater but dont have a file for 2.3 android to flash. What is the suggested method and steps? If anyone can clarify

Move this to General section..!!
Guess this should be in the General section and not in development..
Theres a kdz file of europe and russian version on xda.. search for it.. flash it usin kdz and you are done.. you get new baseband and then root using superoneclick.. you will lose your data.. but you can back it up using titanium backup.. flash recovery n den you are ready to use any of the new custom romz.. they perform well in quadrants.. not as much as those developed by our heroes like mik andy and all.. but for a stock rom those values are good.. i reverted back to miks cyanogenmod for itz performance.. anyway, if you want a stable, ALMOST bug free rom, go in for stock 2.3.3... there are minor bugs.. like status bar icons not alligned and stuff but you can manage with it...

works perfectly

[Q] Supernoob... (well another one....)

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

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)

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.

[Q] Rooting and Updateing LG

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.

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.

how to root i896

hey guys just grabbed this samsung galaxy s captivate from a friend whos dad found in las vegas sooo i guess its mine now, i have no plan on using it as my phone just for developement but i see that this is the rogers version (i896 while the at&t is the i897) and the forum only has it for the at&t version so im guessing they can use same root methods and use same roms correct? i see that a 2.3 update rolled out for it via kies but this one is still on 2.1 and i saw you can only root it on 2.1 and 2.2 so im staying here for now, i was guessing that superoneclick or gingerbreak could root this phone so ill try them both. one last question is there a better version of touchwiz ported to it? like galaxy s2-s3 look and feel? if now i was hopeing to get CM 10.1 on it, ccan somone point me in the right direction please?
Edit: i rooted it with z4root and was successful, i tried to get CWM on it but it seems that Rom manager dosent support andrid 2.1, and if i do get rom manager on here is there one for my i896? or do i just use the at&t cwm?

Yes, same device, different branding, better modem/radio. You can flash anything found here, and some from the Galaxy S i9000 section. As for rooting:
1. Grab a kernel for your current ROM version. I think the latest Rogers ROM is KH2, but you'll have to check on that. If you're not on it yet, grab this http://hotfile.com/dl/130585492/8ca639c/SGH-I896_RWC_I896UXKH2.rar.html (pass:sampro.pl), and flash it through Odin(I'm not sure if its included. If its not, google for it. Odin 1.83 or 1.85)
2. Flash it through Odin
3. Reboot into recovery, flash http://downloads.noshufou.netdna-cdn.com/superuser/Superuser-3.1.3-arm-signed.zip
4. You now have root. Mod all you want, and proceed to flash yourself to JB 4.3, or any other version you want

Careful with flashing ROMs with bootloaders!
Bad flash may brick your phone with no DIY solution.
- Update to 2.3.3 via Kies (install correct Samsung drivers first, follow the instructions)
- Reboot to make sure all is OK
- Go to Download mode, Flash Corn kernel to get CWM (find it in attached guide, read carefully and install correct drivers)
- Reboot to make sure all is OK
- Download CM10.1.2 Stable + Gapps, copy to your Internal storage (not SD card)
- In Recovery, do Factory Reset, Clear cache, Clear Dalvik
- Flash CM10.1.2. stable + Gapps (follow the instructions in the guide, no root needed to flash custom ROM)
- Enjoy rooted Android 4.2.2

thanks for this! going to update it to gingerbread when I get home, I see that I have to flash a kernel in order to get root and CWM, this would have to be my first time so I hope I don't screw up xD I still don't quite know what kernels are even though I have been rooting/flashing for a long time. I have Hard bricked soooo many of my Samsung devices, like 2 or 3 and I wanted to cry when I bought my GS2 xD.

The good news is that Captivate is hard to brick. The only critical part is bootloaders update. Leave this task to Kies, millions of phones got updated this way (including mine). Yes, there are reports for bricked Captivate after Kies, but hope everything will go smoothly. Just follow Samsung's update instructions. Google what Kies version is recommended for Captivate update (i don't remember, sorry). To update to latest stable CyanogenMod read the guide and follow the instructions closely. You'll find inside the links to one-click Corn kernel update. Careful with Heimdall drivers, they are for a specific USB port (it is explained in the guide). Again, no root is needed for upgrade process, only CWM. CyanogenMod comes rooted. Good luck!

It's a hardware modification. No use to do it now on a 3y old phone. Just update your phone to a stable Android 4.2.2 build and go light on apps and data. Don't expect much from a single core CPU and limited RAM phone. Nobody ever expected that Captivate Android development will go so far. Use what you got and upgrade the phone when you need more muscle.

Don't expect much from a single core CPU and limited RAM phone. Nobody ever expected that Captivate Android development will go so far. Use what you got and upgrade the phone when you need more muscle.

CM10.1.2 Android 4.2.2. is the latest Stable release. Don't get confused with CM10.2 Android 4.3 Beta.

Yay it worked thank you so much I'm enjoying every bit of it, one last question though xD I noticed this even without it being rooted and its doing it now, the WiFi signal on the status bar is always on the bottom two signals, this doesn't happen with my tablets, I don't see it taking a bit for stuff to load.

Different levels for each indication bar, probably. Is the WIFI working correctly? If yes, then nothing to fix here.
