I have an LG Optimus One running 2.2.2 latest firmware V10e. Recently, I rooted my device and installed ClockWorkMod Recovery and the Lagfix+OC Kernel by der_caverman. I am using the Stock ROM with that Kernel.
My question is when the official Gingerbread Update comes out by LG, will I be able to update it with the official LG software updater or will it not work because I have ClockWorkMod Recovery installed.
If not, how can I remove ClockWorkMod Recovery get my original Recovery Back???
any help would be appreciated!
I already asked the same question

you can just flash any recovery given above.its a zip file just flash the zip as you flash roms.one of the links contains original recovery for p500.
thanks...it worked
thank you guys...
If the phone is just 'rooted' and no custom ROM, would one need to follow the above steps before upgrading? Thanks

nope. you can upgrade at any time if u are staying with ur oem rom even if u are rooted. only thing is that u will lose ur root previllage after the update.
its alwayes advisable to have a custom recovery and custom rom. cause it can take nandroid backups(will save your day if anything goes wrong)

Can you please tell me can I upgrade without doing anything??? I have rooted my phone and installed AmonRa recovery, and I'm on stock rom 2.2.2 10e (I have just flashed some framework that I made on UOT kitchen).

it is risky since you have changed the frame work.if i were you i will do the following.
1)unroot the phone( if u have used gingerbreak use the same to unroot)
2)down load the original recovery from http://www.megaupload.com/?f=XGKNWZQJ and flash. thus u can getrid of amonra and get back original p500 recovery
3)reboot and hard reset and upgrade.
4) since u are now on original recovery and in unrooted condition if any thing goes wrong u can claim warrenty.
let me ask u why u need an upgrade? to get lot of crapwares? or to get amere 600mhz kernal? or to get a laggy phone with mere 60 mb of internal storage space to install all ur apps? or to have adds on every apps?
go for http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=946354
its stable,beautiful,oced and updated gingerbread.
Thanks for your answer!
And I understand you when you ask me why do I need official update, because I agree that official rom = creap And thats why the first thing that I have done when I rooted my phone was to uninstall all the bloatware from it
I will for sure flash miks rom when he base it on official gingerbread, and if I have a little time for weekend current mod that you recommended (I only hesitate because of the bugs - I know there are just a couple of them, but...). I tried yesterday francos kernel v151, but I'm experiencing color bending in lower half of a screen with it...

ya its up to you to decide...and i agree with u absolutly.but i aint had any problems with mik's 6.5.2(not using francos ker cause some error with cpu freq settings, u have to use setcpu).
Just one more question - when you said:
2)down load the original recovery from http://www.megaupload.com/?f=XGKNWZQJ and flash.

you mean to flash it from amonra recovery, right? (I know, it's a noob question, but better to be safe then sorry

yes its a flashable unsigned zip.but if u r using amonra to flash( cause it is unsigned) u have to uncheck the option "toggle signature verify" first.Amonra wont allow u to flash unsigned zips unless u do the above.
ps:if original recovery is flashed u will lose all the options in amonra and the only option will be the hard reset option.
there is a good how to section if u wish...

Would someone be able to point me to one?? I'd be super happy, thank you in advance ^_^

Thanx for your super quick response!! I don't want to flash the firmware though, I already flashed VOID once which didn't turn out too good I just want to flash the kernel
If you could tell me where to find one that would be awesome!!

U sound confused bro. In short, if u ever need to go to the service center just flash the original lg firmware with kdz. U get everything back to stock. stock rom,kernel,unroot
If u are looking for only the LG kernel. Im not sure but it involves the bootimg file and other technical details. U will have to ask the devs
You can't get the stock kernel if you don't flash stock rom with KDZ Updater.
P.S : WHY YOU WANT TO FLASH THE STOCK KERNEL ?
Sent from my LG-P500 using XDA Premium App
Standalone stock rom kernel is not available. You can:
a. Restore your stock rom nand backup, or
b. Search the general thread, a stock rom nand backup has been posted, or
c. Flash stock firmware using kdz.

Took me a while to understand you, but if you can get into recovery your device is NOT bricked.
Brick = your device is rendered useless, such as your device wont boot into bootloader or recovery.

Not sure about your specific device, but I have intentionally tried bricking my mytouch4g just to show my scary cat friend that HTC phones are almost immune (well the mytouch4g with the good eMMC atleast) to bricking.
The only way I would think you would brick your phone is if your eMMC dies- this c an happen for various reasons such as pulling the battery while writing something into the eMMC (like when rooting).
Then again anything can happen especially if you have a faulty device- so be careful and always read the instructions before flashing, and you should be good.

man, don't forget to backup your NV, to do that, go into LGMDP, connect to your mobile, go into Tools, and press in NV Backup. I forgot this and my phone doesn't gave me band signal, so i had to return it to the LG assistance.

I have a Samsung Galaxy Ace S5830i. I had no problem with rooting it, and am able to use Superuser and other root apps perfectly, but when i try to flash CWM on it, either from the ROMManager app, or from a zip file, it only displays CWM immediately after i flash it, but then the moment i press Reboot Now,and go back to the Recovery, i notice that it has reverted to the stock recovery. I have tried many different CWM recovery files, but it always works only for that one time, and then reverts to stock after reboot. I am using a stock ROM since i cannot flash Cyanogenmod until i get CWM to 'stick'. What do i do?

As far as I know, the kernel should be in the rom.zip (it's the boot.img). Extract it and flash it using flashtool or the fastboot tools
Otherwise search for a kernel for android 4.2.2 in Dev section and flash that one. Should work too
Sent from my Nexus 4 running Android 4.2.2
One thing to remember is, before flashing a custom ROM or MOD, ALWAYS MAKE A BACKUP.
To be on the safer side, backup every week or so and keep the last two or three backups.

Your phone got almost bricked,No it didnt, First thing before installing a custom ROM clear your system,data,cache partition..did you do that?
ok so you have CWM installed..follow this exactly
Start CWM by pressing vol down when your phone starts up,Select Mount USB Storage under mounts and storage,connect phone to pc,transfer ROM zip file to sdcard then
format /system ,/data,/cache ,now select install zip from sdcard and select your ROM zip file from sdcard
Reboot System..
You should be clear now..
Hope i helped..
Regards..
PS :Certain CM ROMS can be highly unstable so i recommend checking out the bugs and everything before you flash a CM rom..otherwise ICS is always smooth and stable..and have got a lot a lot of mdpi roms on xda..thanks to devs..
EDIT: if u r on a stock kernel,then unlock your bootloader by following steps at unlockbootloader.sonymobile.com then flash a custom kernel that supports JB..look over at the index thread created by predator at the dev section..
then follow my steps above..
DO NOT FLASH CUSTOM JB ROM ON STOCK ICS KERNEL.IT WONT WORK.
