Hi everyone.
I bought a LG Optimus One P500 a couple of months ago and I rooted it. The update notificator is telling me now that there's an available firmware update, I have 2 questions:
1) If I do the update, do I lose root privileges?
2) Is it recommendable to do such update?
I have the following under my phone info:
Android version: 2.2
Kernel version: 2.6.32.9
Build number: FRF91
Software version: V10b-OCT02-2010
Thank you in advance for your answers!
You will most likely lose your root as it will update previous root patches. And 2.2.2 has to be downgraded back to 2.2 if you want to root again. 2.2 is very stable. And gingerbread is just around the corner. So, I'd say no need.

Does anyone know when Orange HTC Hero users in the UK are getting the Android update from 1.5 ? Is it to 2.0 or 2.1 ?
I'd like to know if and when this will be available for my phone. Here's my phone details:
Firmware version: 1.5
Baseband version: 63.18.55.06JU_6.35.08.29
Kernel version: 2.6.27-430d1aea htc-kernel and18-2 #959
Build no: 2.73.61.66 CL#82177 release-keys
Software version: 1.0.0.A6288
I don't really need to unlock my phone and would like to wait for an official release. Sorry if this is a dumb question but I'm a noob and there's no info on the HTC support site.

Definitely. Have a play whilst your waiting, try some different ROMs.
Use BTDAG's guide linked in my signature, it has everything you need to know. I recommend it to any beginner.
Thanks for the info guys. I think I'll wait if it's just going to be a couple of weeks.
Just phoned HTC Support. They said there's no official confirmation of the release details, but unofficially, here's what they said to expect:
* v2.1 to be released. Release scheduled for June. Wouldn't be more specific about date.
* Improved bluetooth implementation, inc file transfer.
* Release likely to comprise of preparatory updates, followed by main ROM update.

Thanks to Geoff M for setting this up. Sorry, but this forum site won't let me post a link.
Alright, I'm not quite sure if my phone can be rooted or not, based off of the various things I've read.
Firmware: 2.1
Kernel: 2.6.29-8a03cb9a [email protected]
Build Number: 2.37.605.4 CL185970 release-keys
I got the phone directly from Verizon about a month or so ago, and it came with 2.1 preinstalled. Is there any way that I could root my phone to some version of 2.2?
Thanks!

Hi all,
I have Samsung Galaxy 5 i5503 with Android 2.1 Eclair vesion as OS, and the mobile was bought in India. So, there was no update to Froyo from Samsung.
Recently I have upgraded it to Froyo on my own using ODIN Multi Downloader.
Details:
Model number: GT-I5500L
Android Version: 2.2
Baseband Version: I5500LUYJP2
Kernel Version: 2.6.32.9-perf [email protected] #2
Build Number: FROYO.UYJP2
I have completed the process, but have some issues like too much usage of battery (hardly stays for 1 day), bluetooth file transfer not working, some applications are not even showing but are installed and can open only through the below process
Market->My Apps->[open Application]->[click on Open]
Now, i want to downgrade ti back to Android 2.1, but could not find a way after searching in google for sometime (May be I was a bit stressed out about thinking of this issue and could concentrate on it).
I need help (steps) on downgrading or doing a fresh copy installation of Eclair on my Samsung Galaxy 5 i5503. I also need the links for downloading the original version which was given to me by Samsung earlier. I am from India.
So, please help me out. Let me know if you need any further information
Thank you,
Vamsi
Hello friends at XDA,
I'm currently own a EU Razr. I upgraded it a couple of months ago to a Gummy ICS release. It works pretty good, sans Camcorder.
But now i would like to upgrade to the oficial Moto ICS (from what i read, it'll be releasing soon).
I did make a backup using Clockwork of my stock Motorola.
Do i need to downgrade to be able to upgrade? Should I?
Can i use my nandroid backup simply my applying it via Clockwork Recovery?
This is the info on the "About":
Model Number: XT910
Android Version: 4.0.3
Baseband Version: U_03.1C.78P
Kernel Version: 1.6.35.7-g24431a2 [email protected] #1
