Its very easy.. wat u have u to do is download the smart flash tool, lg drivers and and a official froyo firmware... now flash ur phone and use latest gingerbreak to root.. install superuser after that...
I also just rooted with same method.. i was stuck on v20b and found the other methods risky.. trust me this is fairly easy..

Flash an old Baseband plus the stock ROM. Then launch official LG update tool, it will detect that an update of Baseband is necessary, and after all the process you'll have a brand LG phone with no trace of rooting and previous ROM.

I want Indian official stock Rom as zip

With cwm installed, you will brick your rom again.
Stock firmware doesn't contain cwm

so you make it.
it is easy.
lol
after seeing ur reply, I am afraid and confused..
Why my phone will be bricked ?
Presently, I am using Zeus 6.39 ROM, I want to smartflash Indian Stock Gingerbread to get official ICS from there.....I think it is safe..
You say that if we flash stock firmware as zip , phone will brick ?
plz tell briefly
you can find it, search or downgrade it and re-update via the lg tool
btw its not now that you'll get official india ics
if it does come, someone will post it here

Oh god why these people don't understand my question.?
Once again clearly telling ..I want flashable zip of Indian official firmware, non-rooted...., not .bin files
I mean flashing the zip from CWM, not with smartflash tool
I think it is impossible...
Because you need root to have cwm, and when you flash lg official rom it will overwrite cwm (effectively delete cwm)...

buddy, if you want to "flash", then you will need CWM. for that, u need root. :silly: the question, in itself, is a bit puny and asinine
that's why, "we", the people have problem in deciphering the meaning of your question
correct me if i am worng.

Nobody wants official rom as CMW zip. What's use of that if u still rooted u can't claim ur warranty to LG.

Now I have cwm, to flash zip
After flashing I don't need root or cwm
Sent from my LG-P970 using xda premium
If I had time, I might flash with sft an Indian Firm and make with cwm an backup.
But I think it will brick your phone through the official update, or how you uninstall cwm?
I prefer to wait for a finished custom cwm zip.
I still dont get, why you dont flash it with smartflash What's so hard about it? And after, it will definitly be unrooted.
If we flash stock official, then no need to unroot, as it is not rooted

Just use SmartFlash.
Its better than what your trying to do.
There isn't a stock zip file because its useless and much easier to use SmartFlash.

My friend have the p970, and he talk me to install a custom rom for he, but any rom need custom kernel. In my xperia x8, to install a custom kernel, need a uncloked bootloader and a flash process in pc. But i see a video showing a instalation of cm10 on p970, without flashing a new kernel with other program, but the kernel change just with a zip instalation.
How can i install cm10 for p970 without unklocking bootloader? Im cofused.
Sent from my X8 using xda premium
Installing a rom on P970 its a pretty simple.
You just need root and recovery... to install a rom just do a full wipe and then install the .zip, search on general section about how to make root.
Just this? Isnt necessary to unclock bootloader to flash cm10 and flash a kernel with a program?
Sorry for noob question and bad english

Nope, because our bootloader is unlocked. Kernel comes with the flashable .zip file, so no need for additionally flashing anything after

Uncloked bootloader native?! You guys are looky! Really thanks, my doubt is finish.

Hi guys, my friend has an OB and wants to upgrade to ICS, i've looked on the web and i've seen flashing with KDZ and others, can u link me or tell me how to flash the official firmware. Also if possible, can u give feedback on how smooth it works. Thnx. I personally own a samsung phone so im more familiar with ODIN. Are there any chances of bricking the OB if done the correct procedure? Thnx again.
If the phone is rooted it can easily be flash thru cwm

No its stock gb rom :< he didnt want to root, he's all the offcial type lol unlike meh.
I think the official ics rom gives massive battery drain that's why we choose to install custom ics rom instead try browsing the general forum for the step by step guide of flashing of the ofc rom thru sft,hope i helped

Flash a patched v20 with cwm, then from recovery flash my repack, or marvel, or izs, ... this is the way you have to go or use an experimental process, which might hardbrick your phone. I wont point you to it, since it seems your not advanced enough.
