To install GB you must flash the new baseband. So you either flash the whole ROM via KDZ or flash just the baseband via LGMDP (a small search will reveal everything I say, so there's no need to post links).
If you flash via KDZ you will have a stock phone. It's a "clean" flash. If you want to root it Gingerbreak has no use, search this section for threads about GB rooting, there are plenty.
If you flash the baseband via LGMDP your customrecovery will remain and you will be able to flash one of the already rooted GB roms here.
thanks mate !!!
actually i followed the KDZ method
outlined here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1060121 ( although its for froyo but i believe the process should be same )
used the 20G file from this link : http://csmg.lgmobile.com:9002/swdata/WEBSW/LGP500/AVDRBK/V20g_00/V20G_00.kdz
The flashing went fine but the phone is not booting
i am stuck on the android LOGO
what should i do

Turn off the phone and try a hard reset first (home+vol down+power)
Thanks mate , reflashed everything and then did a hard reset.
booted and working fine now.
but somehow there is no file manager in it LOL
got ASTRO for that.
Could you pl link me to a thread where all the KDZ files are listed with their download links.
Also could u help me to root this phone with the easiest and safest method ( actually its my primary no )and if there is any voodoo kernel available to speed things up for this.

FWIW you can also root by flashing a rooted firmware, like VillainROM or Lite'ning, with Odin/Heimdall.
(Odin is more tried and tested but only runs on Windows. Heimdall also works though and is multiplatform - I use it on Linux.)
Thanks for the reply. My english is not that perfect and i didnt know what superceded meant hehe. Flashing a rom with included root sounds great. Btw can i flash litening when i have ke7? Because it didnt specify in the thread what kernel you need.

Thanks! Just rooted my stock phone and boy was that fast. Now i have another problem lol. I can't open market because i can't connect my google account. It says something like cannot connect to server,might be a problem with your network bla bla. I read that factory reseting the phone might make it work,but my question is,would resetting the phone remove superuser and that other app? (I think it was CMW)
Up /10chars
did you use a cusom rom?? at the moment its better to just root your device as all the roms are being constantly developed and bugs and eroors being fixed.. if you use a custom rom you will end up flashing your device quite often.. just my thoughts
Yes i rooted my phone only. But i need to know if resetting my phone would remove superuser and cwm not the root itself.
i have rooted mine and i dont get that problem... which rom did you use.. and yeah factory reset will remove those
Hi guys,
I need some help please.
Im currently running a
GB 2.3.3

Im planning to downgrade it to froyo for the following reasons.
1. To easily root the phone
2. To easily get tun.ko for vpn use.to connect to the internet.
Thats all masters.
Do i need to downgrade or there's a way for those things without downgrading.
Thanks to all.

only the baseband sir?
Do it via KDZ Firmware flasher and research for a tutorial how to flash using it and how to download the old firmware. I can't research for you now because I got things to do

thanks a lot sir..
ill go for downgrading to froyo.
after i downgrade? i will downgrade also the baseband?
Id recommend using LG tools, kdz flasher I here has problems. Than again I've never used it so I can't tell you from experience but I can give you a place to start
Don't use xda's app search function, its useless instead use Google search queries
Go to android development, than to stickies.. the first post is what you need. Its a post by ciaox that night do you justice, also right underneath it is another post with alot of info but I believe its outdated
Also look for sweetnsour's post, I think its under general section stickies..
Sent from my Optimus One using xda premium
well, if you still got the warranty then contact lg service centre and tell them to downgrade from Gb to Froyo2.2.2
they may tell you that there is a slight chance of bricking but they will also tell you that not to update after downgrading
And Viola!!
You will get stock froyo on your phone without any hassle, all things working and no chance of bricking your phone by yourself and no baseband problem
Followed it and no problems till yet, currently on Mike's CM7 6.5.8
And to root, just use gingerbreak
2 methods to manually do it.
1. kdz (risky in my view as i briked my phone once with it) (search xda to follow)
2. lgmdp (i feel safe method) ( to flash froyo of your choice follow http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=19006040#post19006040
or
to flash indian froyo v10e 2.2.2 follow http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1324105)
and once u successfully flashed using any of the above method no need to flash baseband separately, it will be done by the tool while flashing process itself.

Thanks sirs, Its a big help..Ill try it tomorrow..Then if i bricked my phone. Ill go to LG and let them fix it with pay.
So i have some experience with these things (flashing and whatnot) with several phones already (htc hero, legend, desire, desire hd, motorola milestone, iconia a500, etc), so i dont get what could be wrong.
So i have this lg optimus one.
Gave it root with z4root method.
Got rom manager installed, flashed the recovery, and rebooted into the recovery.
I formated the sdcard from recovery, entered usb mode, copied several cfw (mostly gb roms) along with some kernels.
I flased my first rom on this phone, and i think it was optimus v3 (or something like that), rebooted, then i got FC, "process com.android.settings has stopped unexpectedly". So im thinking now ... "hmmm .. the kernel must not be the right one". So i search a little and see that there are 2 kernel types, v35 and v32.
So i start flashing another kernel, reboot, but still get the same thing.
So i then start flashing another cfw, but still the same thing.
I flashed several cfw and about 4 kernels by now.
What im i not doing right !?
Where should i check ?
Maybe ur not on the right baseband If u were on Gingerbread when rooting then ur on new baseband but if u were on Froyo then u were on old baseband so check for a ROM with the proper basebabd and try

Yes u can..but I'd recommend u to try a ROM which is for old baseband (or for both old and new) and see if it has any problems.if its working perfectly then its the baseband problem.

You don't really need a good computer to flash back to stock, just a USB cable. The easiest way is to flash back to stock JFD 2.1 with Odin and then root your phone with update.zip B, reboot to recovery and reinstall packages twice then flash the ROM (twice also if going to JB 4.2). Here is a link for both flashing to stock and rooting with update.zip B http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=849028 . If you decide to stay on 2.2 you will have to use the modified 3e recovery zip, I have never done this so can't really explain how to do it, here is the link though http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=833423.

Try update.zip A from the first link I provided, it should root your phone. Then you can use the 3e method. I've never had to do this myself so sorry I don't have a straight answer for you.

Yes I rooted my phone with Update.zip B, it doesn't actually root but it gives you CWM and you can flash a custom ROM, they all come pre rooted. You should really flash back to stock if possible, it's very easy from stock 2.1. I'll do some research and see what I can come up with but stock 2.2 has a bunch of issues with rooting and installing CWM, this is why everyone recommends flashing to stock 2.1 (JFD)
Edit - it appears superoneclick 2.3.1 works for some people on stock Froyo (2.2). Here is the link http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1146645 If you get it rooted on stock 2.2 you will still have to do the 3e recovery step FYI

Thanks for the reply. Sad news. I used Kies Mini to update and everything went fine until the reboot. well it didnt reboot, my phone is officially bricked. I bought a JIG to see if it would help wake it in Download but it does not. I have read that you can open the phone and do some soldering to get the phone back but it seems like too much for this phone. If you have any suggestions that would be fantastic.. Thanks again for your reply.
