Just purchased my Bionic from TigerDirect, waiting for to arrive. First Android phone but I've had an iPod Touch for a while now. I'm fairly computer savvy and have been lurking these forums for weeks now.
Based on my research, I should respectively do the following:
Boot up, update if needed on stock
Root via this guide
Install Hashcode's SafeStrap
Nandroid Stock
Flash AOKP ICS & GApps on Safe partition
Install Nova/Trebuchet Launcher (can't decide, which one is better?)
Customize w/ apps, contacts, etc
Nandroid & TI Backup of ICS partition
Anything I miss? I'm new to this so point me in the right direction.
Sorry if this went in the wrong subforum, couldn't decide between General or Q&A

I'd root before updating. Remember path saver, unr3l3as3DRoot and for3v3r root because they are valuable tools if you have any problems. From what I have read, motofail is another valuable tool, but I've never used it to confirm.

Motofail roots stock .902 just fine

First thing you should (have) done is - READ - SEARCH - READ AGAIN
No point opening a new thread!
I created a tool a while back for Galaxy S II owners to backup and restore the '/efs' partition and perform basic NV Repair on their devices.
This proved so popular that I recently updated the application which now includes a feature to automatically detect the mount point of the '/efs' partition. This allows any supported device to be used with EFS Pro and also adds support for future devices.

EDIT: I just realised that this is a windows app. Nice work man! I thought you were suggesting it was android app. I was going to say that that would mean that your device IS working when you've lost the efs folder? hahhaa
Will star you thread now
Oh btw I have an auto-backup script as part of the installation procedure of new ROMs via CWM in recovery Yell out if you need it or want it. Happy to share
EFS Professional v2.0.9 has now been released!

Lg imei operates differently than the samsung.
LG does not have the folder efs
I have recently Restored my N1 from an ICS ROM and am back on Gingerbread 2.3.6.
I am wanting to remove some system apps but I cannot for the life of me find out how to root the N1.
Much googling has lead me to dead ends and dead links and I feel I am missing something really obvious that everyone else but me knows.
The guides I have found on rooting all appear to involve custom ROMs which I don't want at the moment.
The bootloader is still unlocked and I know at some point in the past I did have the device rooted on gingerbread but I can't remember how?
try www.unlockroot.com

Is that a trusted source?
Yes It is.

Yep, that worked
Thanks.
If I may be so bold... what would be the best app to use to actually remove the system apps?
I have used one in the past but found that when I removed anything it would shut off the nexus completely and not actually remove anything.
use titanium backup. it would be safe to hv a backup via a custom recovery, before removing system apps...

With a little more reading, you could have found the same information on the front page of the Development section, but here...

Use the non-rooted version you have (hopefully with your laf.img still there) and LG Flash Tools with the 20b kdz for lollipop. Then after upgrading, root using the information in this guide: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=3072568
