Hi guys,
I have the LG Optimus p500.
Android: 2.2.1
Build: FRG83
Software Version: v10b-DEC-13-2010
I am trying to install This Rom
However I have no idea where to start.
I don't mind doing a downgrade if I have to.
I have tried searching the forum however have found no step by step guides.
If anyone could post a step by step guide for rooting and flashing from these settings to the rom I posted I would be highly grateful.

Read, read, read.
First you must downgrade to 2.2 firmware because 2.2.1 wont be rooted. so you must download your original firmware from LG website and install it by KDZ Flasher... search in the forum... there are plenty posts about this. then look at http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=901247 for rooting and installing ROM methods..

Hey guys,
Can anybody tell me the exact way of rooting Stock Gingerbread 2.3.3 JPKG2 (Middle east Version).
You support will be really appreciated.
Thanks...
Your question would surely be pwned by some random guy that would tell you to search the forums, luckily, i'm patient and I want to help.
This method is traditional but in my opinion most reliable.
Follow this guide written by Intratech: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1075278
This is to get the XWKDD insecure kernel from Chainfire: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1056334
Use this SuperOneClick in the instructions, this worked for me: http://forum.xda-developers.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=624175&d=1307984755
Begin following the steps from Quick Root guide, pretty easy especially with the photos and easy to follow steps.

Is is necessary to come back to Stock Kernel after rooting via XWKDD kernel ?
Hello. I came here from the Xperia X10 mini forum, because i just got a S2
Thing is i don't know what to do with it. With the SE it was different, I was a SE user my whole life, so I was up to date with how to do things on SE droids (root, flash with flashtool, etc.). But i have 0 experience with samsung.
I have:
PDA: I91000XWKE2
BASEBAND: I9100XXKDJ
KERNEL: 2.6.35.7-i9100xwke2-cl187606 [email protected] #2
It's running droid 2.3.3 and I cant update with KIES because it gives me windows encountered a problem etc etc... the old send dont send but on windows 7 (x64).
So I would like to flash it to a 2.3.5 rom and root it. Can anyone explain how do I do this? I don't know what and where to search because I'm new to samsung.
So far i have downloaded ODIN 1.85 and a found this "GT-I9100_OXA_I9100XXKI3_I9100XXKI3_I9100OXAKI3" file. What do i do with it? (also explain steps plz).
I never had a smartphone in my life before I got my SGS2, and I managed to flash all the ROMs without creating threads with questions that are answered in stickies. But maybe I'm a genius, not anyone can be one.
So, try here for starters.. or just search around.
install this kernel and read all the texts.

You should now be root and have cmw recovery, and you can flash pretty much any rom you want.
Not to familiar with teh sony's but i assume you had clockwock mod recovery?
Odin to flash, cf root to flash as kernel to allow root and get cwm, cwm to flash a custom rom as a quick guide on what to search. Generally reading around will help.

Ty for the reply guys. Really apreciate the help and am reading everything you posted.
But 1 thing: witha ll respect, stop acting like I'm using up your personal space, I opened this thread for a reason, because i dont understand sh!t, and reading wont help unless i start to read the very beginning.
When i was at the Xperia thread, i used a program called Flashtool to flash a new generic rom to my X10 mini pro. It also updated the baseband (and basebands where important when i flashed a custom ROM, you needed to have latest baseband and kernel to flash X,Y,and Z custom roms).
I just want to update to the original samsung 2.3.5 ROM with odin (as kies sucks and wont work) and the rest will be easy. Don't want CWM and root yet, just a plain stock 2.3.5 rom. I just wanted to know if i can flash THAT file (first post, long text) to my phone with ODIN.
Again, thank you very much for the support, and will continue to read everything you guys post here.
It's easy to say search for this and search for that when you know exactly what to search for. In my case, I dont even know where to begin. And i would like to finish this "job" in the next 2 hours, as after that its time to sleep :/

No offence mate but when I moved from an HTC to a Samsung based device I was a newb then to, coming from another phone to different methods to another new method I got to grips with everything just reading around.
To answer your questions, yes you can flash a stock rom using odin, all you need is to check out intratechs thread in original development section, as of now KJ3 is the latest 2.3.5 firmware, download a frankenstein version and read his thread which had a guide on what to put where.

Your original post mentioned you wanted to root it hence I gave you the easiest way of doing so is to flash cf root, searching cf root would have given you that thread plus instructions within that thread.

Yes i know about CF root and will be my next move. Thank you so much for everythingyou posted (again). And will REread every post again for extra knowledge. Need to forget everything i know about SE and learn new stuff.

Method 2c is what you are looking for. By the way, this is a sticky in the general forum.
1. Rooting is not firmware dependent, the method to root is almost the same across firmware
2. Installing games does not require rooting.
Thank and do you think this video here is besically the same things that ill be doing?

You should first ROOT your device, see this:

Hi there.
I am trying to find instructions of how to root my Motorola Atrix 4G, but I can't find any solution for Android 2.2.2. I found a couple of how-tos describing the steps for android 1.8-4.5, not 2.2.2 tho. For example: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1182871 which looks to be the easiest way to do it.
Does anyone have any idea/hint to give me? I am a complete noobie that has been reading about it for like a week already.
BTW, I appreciate any hints for how to flash custom ROMs and any good ROM, I am think about the epinter one (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2060064).
Thanks!
Obviously you haven't been reading the right stuff.
