Is it possible to flash the stock 2.2.2 rom using kdz on a rooted P500 without any problems and without loosing the root acces?
you probably have to re-root your device, but it seems like it is possible to root 2.2.2, since there are custom ROMs using this version.

if you install the kdz as it is, you can't root. The custom roms using 2.2.2 are pre-rooted (Use a custom rom is the only way i see to use 2.2.2 and have root)
Thanks for the quick answers guys!

2.2.1 can't be rooted.... You need to downgrade your firmware. Download a 2.2 ROM from this link http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=865479 and flash it via KDZ, once the 2.2 boots, you can root it and install custom recovery. Make sure you back-up your data cuz, it will wipe everythin.
Hi,
I'm running already Android 2.2.2 update 10E and I'm going to root my phone.
I want to use the same stock ROM.
Is it necessary that I need to flash custom recovery.
Please help & sorry for NooB question.
If you only want to root your phone there's no need to install custom recovery.

however, if u want to overclock, install touchlag fix, etc, you need custom recovery.
Thanks a lot for your replies. It helped me a lot.
hi all!
ihave a new p500 device with stock rom v10g.
and i want to flash oficial v20c.
but i have no windows pc around, so i cant use kdz flasher or oficial lg updater. i have only linux station with adb installed.
will i able to do update v10g -> v20c with custom recovery (cwm or any other)?
I haven't heard of any way to do the official update without a Windows PC. Would love to hear otherwise, but at this point, there is no way to update the phone's baseband in a cross-platform way.

Nope, no way to do so. I would suggest going to someones house and asking to use their pc or even just going to a library lol

Try to install Virtualbox with usb extention, then under virtualbox install winxp.
I wouldn't recommend you to do so.
Updating your baseband and grabbing Gingerbread is not so good, you see, there's plenty of bugs in the Official Gingerbread rom.
If you are very interested in update your phone, then find a win7 computer...
I have Windows 7 in VirtualBox and tried to flash from it. But virtuall environment does not detect phone when it is in emergency mode. So it can't be flashed in this way.

Yes. Check out CM7 and void forever. Although these have certain bugs as mentioned on the first page, but they are great gb roms.

Well... You can flash and try a pretty much useless Gingerbread from CM7 and stuff, which uses v10 baseband (as Froyo)
If you want a really good full usable and bugless Gingerbread, in short answer, that doesn't exist yet.
Changing the baseband is just a mere procedure, but, sticking with Froyo is the best thing you can do, IF you want to have a full working phone.

Go to this thread. Download an official 2.2 firmware and flash it through KDZ. All the how-tos are present in the same thread.

my phone is unrooted...and basically the main reason i want to downgrade it is to run an app without rooting it.

To flash an official ROM through KDZ, you need not have root access.
And stop asking the same question over and over again.... Please....

1) I can root my device with SuperOneClick? YES? You should try Gingerbreak too used it when my o1 is till on froyo and its easier
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=803682
2) SuperOneClick will do all the work,and when he finish my phone will be rooted? yeah phone will be rooted but you must update superuser too. i think it's binaries aren't updated
about ROM:
1) What is "Old BaseBand" ? Refers to baseband before you updated to gingerbread 2.3.3.
2) Those ROM's are good for my phone?
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=20340697
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=946354 read reviews. if it matches your own way on how you will plan to use your phone then try it.
3) If those ROM are not good for my phone,what ROM should i install? idk im stuck with stock gb rom
4) Kernel: When i will install ROM,I have to install a custom Kernel Too? some roms have already packed with kernels. just remember .32 goes with .32 and .35 with .35 and the most important READ
5) After I rooted my phone,I installed Rom Manger.
Can i flash a ROM with ROM Manger?
thank you! Absolutely NO! just kidding.. yeah. its the easiest way to flash ROM to your phone
As far as I know.
Thanks.
But i still don't understand the Old BaseBand .
All O1 phones are Old BaseBand before they updated to 2.3.3?
So if my phone is android 2.2.1 he is old BaseBand?
If u have android 2.2.1 u can root using gingerbreak.
to root download gingef break
den instLl rom managed
install recovery ( make sure u hve wifi / fast net )
den choose any rom nd kernel
juat make sure kenel version nd roms kernel eg. mik 6.6.1 can use .35 kernel but 6.5.8 can !
i m dont suggestin rom & kernel bcoz i m also findin nice one !
i hope i helped !
press thanks !

U can install both of the roms as they support old baseband and it is not necessary to flash a diffrent kurnel with a rom
Since u have 2.2.1 root using gingerbreak and u need to flash recovery before flashing custom rom it is the first option in rom manager.
