that helped me root it.
I have Phoenix running 2.2.1 Froyo just wanted to verify that the gingerbreak method worked for you with the same version of the OS. I haven't found much out there on the net besides a bunch of reviews on the phone.

Hi all
I have recently bought myself a HTC Hero / T-Mobile G2 which I have been wanting to get for ages, I bought it from Ebay and it came with Firmware version 2.1-update 1 which I understand is Froyo?
Anyhow I was wondering if someone might be kind enough to point me in the right direction of how to root my phone, I have tried searching but the amount of entries are overwhelming and to be honest I am not sure where to start. My ultimate goal is to have it rooted and then have the ability to have apps installed to the memory card...
Also once rooted what is the best 2.1 rom to flash the phone with?
Thanks for any help in advance, it is very much appreciated!

Android 2.1 isn't Froyo - Froyo is android 2.2.
Check out this software universal androot and use that. Though there isn't a documented guide (that i know of).
My sig has a newbie guide which might work on 2.1 (unconfirmed) which you could try. If not you need to wait for http://villainrom.co.uk/ to bring back their 2.1 root guide and use that.
Thank you for your help
I am now on VillainROM 12 and am loving it!
Thanks once again...
Just so you (and others) know. I've now updated my guide to be super quick and it uses Universal Androot now too. Finally a documented method to root which uses this program.
I tried superoneclick 1.5.5 and 1.5.4, z4root isnt in market anymore. is there anyother way to root the streak. Im running froyo build 12792
Hey, I have the exact same issue here. I am also running froyo with the same build. My guess is that u got ur streak in the uk. Anyway, I have tried z4root and universal Androot. Heck, I even tried easy root. None of them worked at all. Been trying for months now, even almost bricked my phone the other day after following instructions on rooting with superboot. Haven't tried Superoneclick though. Was hoping that would have been my saving grace but now that u mention u tried it with no success in wonder how people have rooted their devices with froyo. Anyway, om me and I will email us the apps u want (z4root)and co but doubt it. Would work cos like I said, we have the same os and build running on our streak. Well, hope someone helps. Pm me if u find a cure for this and I'll do the same if I root my device first. Cheers, don't give up yet.
Sent from my Dell Streak using XDA App
Idk what was donee differently. but i reformatted my computer last night andinstalled a fresh version of vista, had the windows updater run EVERYTHING. i had 165 important updates, lol, but these were updates from 2007 till now, and i ran superoneclick 1.5.5 and it stalled for a second on waiting for device ten continued. Good deal Thanks for the help.
I also have an UK Streak on O2 running Froyo build 12792, so I was disappointed after failing to find anything online about routing my device to then read this thread and see that you guys have been having difficulty too. I'm wondering if you've managed to root yours yet? If not; well I'm new to the fight so can certainly post anything here that I find if I manage to get anywhere.

I'm looking to debrand mine too, what do you mean by "this method"...also the file at that location is a newer one, so not sure whether to use it or not (I havent a 4shared acct anyway). I have d/l an older one (3.016.00_AAP), yesterday.
I'm finding the "noise" in the modaco thread is making it difficult for me to actually get what the method is, especialy since most of the denizens there are not on Telstra. Theres talk of this bin and that ROM and this recovery or that. Any chance of summarising it in babysteps for me here?
Which root method
Which recovery tool
Which file
and how to use them.
I have a Mac. I can easily get files into the SD card, but cannot easily use an executable tool, 99% of which have been written for Windows machines.
Thanks in advance
Thanks for the link
Thanks for the link, but I am having same problem.
I am currently using version which is 1.100.49_AAP_GEN2, so is it compatible to mine?
I have running 4.000.13 gingerbread 2.3.6 and now using the custom rom gingerouney 3.0 i got it from modaco forum
how can i upgrade my acer s120 froyo to gingerbread!!
what should I do to upgrade my Acer s120 froyo to gingerbread?
I have a To Root my LG Optimus S LS670, its a plain one.
Here's my information:
Model Number: LS670
Android Version: 2.3.3
Baseband Version: LS670MVJ_6150
How do I root it?
It's been upgraded by LG already to 2.3.3, and I can't find anyway to root it.
SuperOneClick, GingerBreak or this.
Luck!!
I have this phone and gingerbreak worked then the next week the phone updated and i cannot get it to root now.
hheeeelllppppppp!!
Yea I can't get this phone to root when it's been updated to the LS670MVJ baseband every root method I can find is for the older baseband versions

This thread should help, I had to downgrade to ZVH using stock recovery, then use the optiauto CLI tool to root and install Xionia CWMA recovery. Root, radio and gingerbread works, but radio flashed with a Froyo downgrade is not legacy compatible with ZVJ. It's worth noting that while CM7.2 or 9 can be flashed from Xionia, you shouldn't do this before having all necessary files/drivers from the froyo, gingerbread and cm9 images, and CM9 flashed LS670s cannot be activated on Sprint.

I cannot go into too much detail since I spent hours on it and forgot and renamed a lot of stuff.

Hey, so I just got an LS670 (LG Optimus S) from a friend to replace my current phone. Not sure how it will go since I have an old SERO account.
Anyways, I had some time off and would recommend to you update flashing your baseband to ZVH. Turn on usb debugging from the applications/development from settings and use stay awake option.Use Sons Of Korhal 1.0.1 to root it. Update to ZVJ using its appropriate update.zip. Then use OptiAuto (aka OptiAuto-sfx) if its the new enough version will allow you to root the zvj baseband. Some of these files are hard to find, took me 3 hours total in trial and error.
This page helped a lot: forums.androidcentral.com/lg-optimus-s-rooting-roms-hacks/119130-how-manual-rooting-ls670zvh-zvj-links-root-zvd-zv9.html
and this one: forums.androidcentral.com/lg-optimus-s-rooting-roms-hacks/131297-how-rooting-ls670zvd-zvh-100-automated-zvj-automated.html
optiauto for windows might be this one, you'll need it: mediafire.com/download/dsblck8764079q0/optiauto-sfx.exe
