I want to root my optimus one (running 2.2.1) to remove some useless programs (preinstalled) that are eating up battery and memory.
I tried everything. some help and guidance would be much appreciated.
2.2.1 - cannot be Rooted. You have to downgrade via KDZ Updater. Read here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=901247
thanks.
but i don't get how to downgrade. all it says in upgrade
Read here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=875881
Be carefull ! If you don't follow all steps you can brick your device.
thanks a lot.
one last thing, will 2.2.1 be 'rootable' anytime soon?
I cannot tell you this because I don't know.
hmm...ok. thanks a lotfor your help.
btw can i upgrade to 2.3(once it comes) even after rooting the device?
Yes,
And please read the forum. It's very easy to brick your device if you don't know what you are doing.
Cheers
I also want to root my device but the instructions I read from one of the thread didn't work for me. I have FW V10e and trying to downgrade my unit to V10b to shift to CFW.
Can anyone give me a link for the link to download the KDZ for my country? I'm from the Philippines.
Thanks!

2.2.1 is rootable. You just can't do that in one click.
Tell us how to do that.

Sorry I haven't been helpful xD You just have to root manually (command line way), but I'm not sure since I haven't tried it myself.

You can use GingerBreak to root your phone. If you need to downgrade after installing a custom ROM, just restore the NAND backup of your current system (which you should do before installing the custom ROM.) Hope this helps.
Guys wats a custom rom and will somethin happen to my phone and how do i back up sorry for troublin you guys
custom rom is performance boosting rom...
before u flash a custom rom u have to do somethings...
back up ur files and data to pc, contacts to sim...
all data will be erased including sms....

Hey guys! I have a quick question.
I also have Android 2.2.2 and the V.10e update. In a famous german forum they said the p500 CANT BE ROOTED with 10e. Does it work or not? I am a little confused now... I don't want to brick my phone, you know...
yes, I am ashamed of my knowledge
and yes, I've read through a lot of articles here in the forum and this thread also...
EDIT:
Just for not getting me wrong... I don't want to flash anything, I just want to use root to throw out these pre-installed crap like xing, studivz etc. and to save my zenonia saves ;D
EIDT2:
In this thread [http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=900905] it says the following:
su
Also referred as substitute user - is command for changing of the account in current terminal (usually black screen with blinking cursor). Default account is root account. So if you insert into terminal 'su' and hit enter, you will become root user.

I wouldn't need the exploit, if I could do it via ADB... (if I knew the correct commands for the folders on the phone)

Alright then... But my question was, if I could do this stuff JUST with ADB, so I wouldn't lose my warranty...
Second question was if there are complications with V10e...
THANK YOU
Your first question does not make sense. How does it matter how do you root the phone when it comes to warranty?
For the rest, it takes about 2 minutes with Gingerbreak APK on v10e.

Hi folks...
According to reports on this forum, some people seem to have managed rooting their stock 2.3.3 roms.
However, I don't seem to be able to do this
I used the official LG update tool to upgrade to V20C, and it looks like I have a perfectly working Gingerbread installation, but when I try to root (using Gingerbreak, which I thought should work), nothing happens (Gingerbreak keeps running without changing anything).
In the DEV forum FAQ, there is no information about rooting GB roms (yet).
If anyone who successfully did this, would care to comment, I'd be very much obliged
thanks

Either that or do this:
in ADB:
adb devices
adb shell
echo 1 > /data/local/lge_adb.conf
then open superoneclick and root (using psneuter).
Thanks, that worked fine. First time I tried I had some problems but I must have done something wrong

i dno why that link doesnt work, it was a program that downloaded the firmware for you. you simply select ur country.
thanks for the reply, that program just downloaded the v10g version which is 2.2.2 (flashing that wouldn't change anything). so now i need to downgrade... but which version should i use ? i can't find the original firmware for my country, and that really sucks (VERY bad service LG). so which original firmware should i get to flash it to my phone using kdz before rooting ?
thanks for your answers and time...
no replies ? come on ! which one should i choose ? no difference between them? please answer you know you can't breathe with that stupid stock rom !!

hey guys
so now i have that "superuser" icon in my drawer, so i need to install a custom recovery... I installed ROM MANAGER from the market, flashed clockworkmod recovery (successfully) but when i select "reboot into recovery" it just hard-resets the phone and it boots again and i find it just like it was when i bought it... even tried shutting down the phone and pressing volume_down + power + menu..... is there something wrong ? please help !
Hello ,You still have clockwork (inside). Try Pull battery ,reinstall, press power,At logo press :HOME-VOL DOWN-POWER for about 5 sec.or untill you get into CW home screen.You can now only use the vol up & down to highlite an option and menu to enter/select the highlited option.If your installing a ROM ,install it (ZIP FILE) on your sdcard 1st (before) so you can select it.
thanks for replies.
I solved the issue... i just installed the rom manager 4.5.0.1 version...Worked as a charm...
Finally, i have cm7 on my phone, gingerbread 2.3.7
now i'm gonna flash the google apps (gapps) cuz it turns out i don't even have a market !

First thing search for cf-root for your device. On the cf-root page you will understand how to identify the correct file for you. Download the file. Use odin following details about how to use it. Get your phone in download state. Volume down+power button+home button. Odin will detect your phone. After cf-root its time to install a custom rom. I use slimics look at the forum for it and the way to install it on your phone. I hope this helped you.

So I have an Asus Memo Pad HD7, and I rooted it using framaroot 1.9.3, then one day it appeared a firmware actualization in my notification bar, I updated NY android and then after some days I just wanted to check if the unroot option in the framaroot worked, well my mistake it worked to well, after I clicked I rebooted and them the supersu was gone and I had unrooted tablet again, but when I tried to root again it told me it was rooted and then after reboot it wasn't... I can't root it again
The weird part is that recently I made another firmware actualization and supersu appeared magically in my phone, I tried to start it, but it showed an error saying my phone was unrooted... then I uninstalled supersu and tried to root again, but I can't...
Please help!
P.s: I didn't instal any rooms and I already tried factory reset in settings.
P.s.s: The weirdest part is that people say they unrooted to do a firmware update, while I did it with my rooted tablet. And Avast says my device is running in high privilege mode, but Root Checker says it's not.
Please any help will be appreciated!

How is downgrading any easier than the root guide for the current version you're on...?

I provided the link to what you need already. It's on the 2nd post of the thread. It has a step by step with pictures. You need to unlock the bootloader and install the custom recovery so you can install the superuser zip. If you can't follow the picture guide, then you should really enlist the help of someone who does this for a living since this is your only tablet and are very unsure of yourself.
