Check out NOOBYs How To Thread. Its a sticky somewhere. Gingerbreak and Superoneclick only work on certain versions. Rather use Smart Flash Tool to install a patched ROM.

The new rooting method is generic it install new firmware already rooted and is not dependant on what software the phone is using ( why it's also a recovery method )
The older rooting methods fool the OS into giving you root permission through various exploits and then properly root it with its new permissions. The older methods relies on vulnerabilities and that is why a lot of rooting tools don't work after the software has been patched.

Its highly subjective. Its depends on what you prefer.
I think Zeuz is the best ROM at the moment. CM10 is fast becoming very good. There's still a few minor bugs but its getting better and better with each nightly. I really like the way the V30 Repack looks but there's a few bugs that are quite annoying like USSD codes don't work and SD mounting doesn't work fully.

SOC1.9.5. Like Noejn said I also didn't noticed any difference. The only thing I see since v10b is LG making new versions just to make most people happy with new releases nothing more.

First and most important thing is to do Factory Reset via Hidden Menu 3845#*970#. This will un-root your phone and clear all data. Then do a firmware upgrade and after that again Factory Reset. This is the safest method.

The factory reset doesn't un-root the phone. The "called" root moves both superuser.apk and su binary to the respective folders so if you do a factory reset they will not be deleted.. To un-root you need to do it with the application you used to root the phone or flash firmware.

Unbranded, Germany, no OTA Update available.
Does root still work/has to be rooted again? Please someone confirm this correctly.

Looks like you have to flash a v20 version of the optimus black with cwm injected (see in my noob how to) with smartflashtool (use search), do a factory reset in recovery, flash superuser.zip http://androidsu.com/superuser/, reboot & done. After this you can always access recovery via RomManager or QuickBoot app and you can flash any ROM you want (like Zeus, or ICS repacks,...)
No guarantee though... If you brick it, it's your own fault, not mine. Just try to read more about this topic first!

Well, I restored this backup at least 5 times at my P500, and it was still rooted... always.
I read once something about phone "losing root", don't know if it's your case... there's some posts about this on google, take a little look!

Thanks for replying . Actually now that I think it through when i had flashed the stock one was when i didn't know much about these stuff and my phone wasn't booting due to what i was doing to it. And i had flashed it with the app from LG so i think that is why i was losing the root. i guess you would have to flash it from the recovery to not lose the root , silly me. thank you for the stock rom nevertheless
You're welcome! I never used any LG software, but your conclusion makes sense. I did this nandroid backup and restored all times with AmonRa!
