[HOWTO] root Koodo version of Optimus One P500h 10v

!!ATTENTION!!
THIS INFORMATION HAS BECOME OUTDATED. ​
There are probably newer and easier ways of accomplishing your goals that are now available. Read the entire thread for tips from other people about how to get your phone rooted - their suggestions are likely to be better options for your needs. I will not be maintaining this thread, but I will leave it up as a record for others to read. Good luck!

Original Post:
Hi. I had trouble getting my Optimus One from Koodo Mobile rooted. So, here is some info that I hope will help others get through the process a bit faster. I mainly followed the instructions in various threads from XDA, but I needed to do things differently.
!!! REMEMBER, THIS IS INFORMATION FROM A BIT OF A NOOB. I'M JUST TRYING TO HELP.
!!! ALSO, I TAKE NO RESPONSIBILTY FOR ANYTHING GOOD OR BAD THAT COMES FROM APPLYING WHAT IS SAID IN THIS THREAD.
!!! THIS INFORMATION IS ONLY INTENDED FOR USE ON THE OPTIMUS ONE FROM KOODO MOBILE RUNNING FIRMWARE VERSION 10v.
It is probably not worth asking me any questions, since I barely got through the process properly myself.
-----------------------------------------------------------
Drivers
So, first I installed the LG PC Suite software because I think that gets you the USB drivers needed for this phone. I think LG calls it "Download LG Mobile Support Tool to PC" on their support site at:
http://www.lg.com/sg/support/product/support-product-profile-mobile-redux.jsp?customerModelCode=Optimus%20One%20P500&initialTab=drivers&targetPage=support-product-profile-mobile-redux
Telus 2.2 firmware version V10G_00
So, since android 2.2.1 is not rootable on Optimus One, I had to downgrade to android 2.2. I found a link to a Telus version of P500h that is android 2.2 at the following link (make sure you download the one that ends in "V10G_00.kdz"):
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=12253960#post12253960
Installing Telus firmware using KDZ
I followed steps #2 through #8 from the following link:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=875881
KDZ worked well, just so you know.
Rooting
Now I used "z4root" to permanently root. It was super easy (way easier than rooting my MT3G Slide). z4root is NOT in the market anymore so you need to sideload it onto your SD storage, then install it with any apk manager.
This site:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=901247
led me to this site, where I downloaded z4root from:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=833953
After that, I was all rooted up... finally.
So, I obviously am NOT trying to take any credit for the real efforts made by others. I want to say thank you to all people involved with the links and programs I referred to. I really appreciate what people do for others here at XDA. My phones would not be rooted or other kinds of fun without those people.
THANKS!
-------------------------------------------------------------------------
On a bit of a side note, you might want to unlock you phone too... so you could use it with FIDO, etc. So, I used a site called "mobileincanada". It was $20 and took less than 24 hrs to get the code. I was happy with that.

Nice write-up, I had to follow a similar path. The most trouble I had was finding a firmware that worked.. I ended up using the same TELUS firmware. It works great, much faster than the original Koodo firmware.

Sorry for my question: what is the difference between your P500h and the other P500 devices? is it a branded device with special firmware?
I thought, all P500 can be flashed with every P500 *.kdz (for country) or XDA ROMs
for P500

I wished you wrote this yesterday but thanks. I figured it out yesterday . This is the sickest 150$ phone I have ever had. I get 1100 quadrant score :O

If you want a stock, rooted 2.2.1 (Telus V10S - same as Koodo's stock V10v)
You'll need a custom recovery to flash it: [DEV] Custom Recovery P500/Thunderg

this may be off topic but what are the custom roms that you can flash to p500h? any one tried installing one?

Thank you, I thought I broke the phone when I flashed V10A_00, it wouldn't boot into screen. Telus one indeed is nicer than Koodo's.

Thanks Kwen! This is very useful - now no need for the kdz updater.
Edit: or now we can keep the Koodo version of 2.2.1 and just root it using Gingerbreak (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1044765) - no KDZ needed, no recovery needed (prior to root). Obviously, recovery is still recommended after root.

the only question that i have is where can i GET the stock 2.2.1 for my provider? i'm with Koodo, and i live the custom roms, but i need to flash back to stock to see if i can get my mms working correctly again. and i apologize in advance if this is the wrong thread.

[Q] LG Thrill Radio

The first week I had the phone i flashed it using an Optimus 3D KDZ file. now that i am trying to use LG Thrill Roms the radio doesnt match and thus i only get one bar of service and continously drop to edge
Is there any way to create a KDZ file for the LG Thrill from the system dump?
Is there any way to flash radios on LG androids (I only have experience with Samsung and HTC radio flashing)?
Is there a way to flash the deafult radio from the system dump?

I haven't seen anyone do this yet. That's why I am still on the stock ROM. Keep your eyes on the dev forum, when its figured out that's where it will be.
I think once the Gingerbread update hits we'll see an explosion of ROMs compatible with the AT&T bands.

I am looking for stock LG Thrill Radio as well, someone please help!

You're the man, I'm trying this right now.
Update: Loaded just fine (failed at 22%). After first boot it recognized it as a P925 even with the GB rom istalled, of course no signal. Loading stock Thrill rom now to test.

[Newbie] Help Me to Convert My P925 to P920

I'm a newbie with lg android, I got a good deal for an unlocked LG thrill so I bought it and now I find out LG won't be supporting Thril with future updates. So I need to flash the KDZ from P920 to P925. I have gone through the forum, still I'm unable to do So. The actual problem is I'm unable to flash the kdz file v21e with the methods told in this site. At the last part the LG software updater creeps up teiing me that I have the Latest Software and Need Not Update.
Please, I need Step by step instruction as I cannot make out what I did wrong.

Unlocking/downgrading/flashing/OTA question

Hi all!
I've been reading all day about how to SIM unlock my I9305 UK 3 Hutchison 4.1.2, and I'm getting somewhere, but feel I've hit a dead end with the sources available online and here. If I've missed something obvious I'm sorry! Would really really appreciate some guidance on where to go next.
I need to downgrade from 4.1.2 to 4.1.1 to do the simple unlock trick from the phone dialer code, but the first impediment is I can't find any UK 3 Hutchison firmware for the I9305 anywhere, not on any of the main firmware sites (http://www.samsdroid.com and http://www.sammobile.com) or here on XDA forums, or using Google. Neither 4.1.1 nor later versions.
So first off, if anyone knows where to find that then I guess I'm sorted? Even if I found 4.2/4.3 then I think I could downgrade to 4.1.1 using any carrier's firmware, then sim unlock, then flash the newer 3 Hutchison firmware and be ready for OTA 4.4, right?
If not, I need to know the implications of flashing a ROM from a different region/carrier. I'm going to sell this phone, and Kitkat might be coming out soon, so I need it to be able to accept OTA updates, and this is what I can't find clear answers on.
The ROMs I can find are:
non-UK, non-3, stock 4.1.1 firmware at samsdroid.com, a few versions from different European countries, all from a particular Euro carrier.
And from here pre-rooted UK 4.1.1 EE carrier firmware. My reading suggests that the rooting shouldn't be a problem, that an OTA update will unroot it, which is what I want. But they're not 3 Hutchison.
So what 4.1.1 ROM is best to flash, and how do I get it to a state where it will accept OTA updates?
I think that covers it, let me know if anything isn't clear.
Many many thanks you lovely people!

The would be you best bet, I've run it and its great and although its says it's an EE Rom there is no carrier bloatware, in effect stock Samsung
Product Code: GT-I9305TADEVR (4.1.1) (EE UK)
PDA: XXALK3
PHONE: XXALK2
CSC: EVRALI5

Hi, thanks for replying!
I guessed this was my best bet, but can you or anyone confirm for me, what will be the situation with OTA updates after flashing it?
Thanks!
PS. Don't want to take any unnecessary risks here seeing as I can't find any 3 Hutchison firmware to use as a backup! If only I had that, I could experiment more...

Rooted phone OTA update may well fail on install and phone refuses to boot . See multiple posts .

Oh right, thanks for clearing that bit up!
So what about the issue of using another carrier's firmware?
If I use th EE pre-rooted firmware and unroot, or use the European firmware? Can I then receive OTA updates or do I have to do something or is it not possible?
Thanks

I think it's pretty obvious from the thread I haven't tried it!
Just trying to interpret JJEgan's words. They cite 'multiple posts'. So I guess the task, when I'm at home, is to search for these posts and decide for myself if there's anything to it. Don't mean to offend you by not taking your word on it, but 1 is a very small sample size!

Multiple posts means multiple users have posted help OTA update has failed usually at the same % in every case phone has been rooted .
Obviously if other multiple users have not had a problem they are not going to post help i don't have a OTA problem due to root .
Searching may not be that easy as many users don't exactly describe a problem in the title .
Me try OTA no i never use stock but i have read the majority of posts on the I9300/05 forum to know that some have a problem with root and OTA .
If it is actually totally untrue better get RootSu to remove it in the sticky .

I have no idea what accusation you think I'm making against Liquid Perfection, and I'm fine with appearing like a newbie, my true identity.
Is there anyone out there who isn't a horrific internet cliché who knows what will happen if I flash a different carrier's firmware on my phone and try to OTA update??

Mod Edit
Thread cleaned.
Please stay on topic.
Thank you

For anyone coming across this in future: I decided to take the plunge and flash 4.1.1 EE software on my 3 network S3, and behold, OTA update worked just fine. No problems so far. Fingers crossed it stays that way!

what are the changes due to update v10d

Hi,
I've updated to version V10d.
I cant find anywhere what has been changed
What I'v noticed is that Advanced Call Recorder cant record anymore since update

Could you confirm you has been able to root with:

Yes i can. I rooted again with purpledrake lite.
Beware, update over ota gives error message, if you use tool in faq you can update without any problems
See previous thread with my username over errormessage

Thanks a lot.
Will revert to confirm from my side.

If you have a custom recovery, don't install. It won't install and you get stuck in your recovery.

Hi
I have the same problem. My LG l90 d405n suggest me the v10d update but when I try to install it give me an error message (0x1111002) . Currently I've got the d405n v10b-eur-xx. Can someone help me step by step to istall it? I've got stock rom and no root.

There are all the steps neccesary to re flash your LG.
Be aware of the previous warning for custom recoveries...

I heard knock code was introduced.

That was already on this phone on v10a

For me v10d actually fixed the Linux kernel flaw which allowed towel root to work.
So no more towel root.
Also I got 5 new wallpapers.
