ive got a unlocked streak running 2.2 not rooted. i was wondering what would be the best rom to install after root? is it worth rooting? can some one please help me with all this? i know this seems like a stupid question but know 1 knew anything at one point haha thanks guy please help me solve this problem of mine x
go to streakdroid.com and look at their guides and faq section..
good place to start... You have about 20 hours of sifting through threads here before you can fully grasp the streak platform from a rom perspective...
which includes
-roms
-basebands
-framework-res.apk
-services.odex
-build.prop
-streakmodrecovery/clockwork recovery
first learn how to fix it before you break it.
nice 1 matey, i did root my streak but then the screen broke so dell sent me a new one and i really dont know wether to root it or not?
rooting is like removing the govenor on a car engine... You bought the puppy why not unleash the fury!

Question [Q] Need help/Suggestion!!!
Hi I bought a Lg P500 a month back,details are:
Android Version:2.2.1
Kernel Version:2.6.32.9
Build Number:FRG83
Software Version:V10c DEC-08-2010.
When i checked through Lg update notification it said a new version 10d is avaialble.
Q1)What is the difference between v10 c and v10 d ??
Q2)suppose if i upgraded my phone to 10d,if i didnt like the update can i revert back to old version??
I am using APP2SD and moved all apps to mem card.
As my phone has 40 pre-apps which stored in internal memory ,My phone has hardly 19-20 mb free internal memory..So it is very difficult to manage .
Q3)Can anybody please suggest how to remove Preinstalled apps which i dont want??
I am afraid to install custom roms mentioned in the other posts as the phone is only 1 month old .
Q3)Does Warranty still exists if i do any custom rom like cynogen or unofficial ginger bread update etc?
Please suggest some tips to improve Performance of my Phone .
Many Many Advance thanks for replying ..
Thanks

Hi and welcome!
I'll try to reply to your questions in the same style
Q1: There is small difference between V10c and V10D. In my opinion, it is not wise to update original fw until the official 2.3 arrives. If you upgrade from 2.2 to 2.2.2 you'll loose the ability to root your phone.
Q2: You can always downgrade your device using KDZ. If you need more info on this one, follow this thread. Just make sure to read carefully and try to understand the risk that implies flashing with KDZ. If you pass this ones, you'll be upgrading and downgrading in no-time.
Q3: You can remove pre-installed apps only if you root your phone, and use an root un-installer, or by flashing a different rom with no pre-installed apps.
To do this, you have to have Android 2.2 on your device (not 2.2.2), and use a tool like SuperOneClick Root or Z4Root. Again, you should be careful and read every warning.
To get the most from your phone, check out the threads on XDA forum regarding Optimus One Android Development or Optimus One General. There are a lot of things to do, with a lot of details and tutorials, just follow carefully.
I hope this helps you.
Cheers mate!

thanks for your kind advice .. I have tried to root using z4 root but it didn't rooted my phone instead my phone was lil bit slow after installation then i have upgraded to V10D through original firmware which shown in my pc suite .
It have tried to open the following link
http://csmg.lgmobile.com:9002/csmg/b2c/client/ezlooks_model_list.jsp?model=LGP500
but it seems the link is not working.
So ..I m thinking better to wait for one more month for LG till it releases 2.3 ..
Man, you'll have to wait more than one month for 2.3... :|
About the link you cannot open, i guess it is broken, it doesn't work for me either. But you must be able to find the fw you need for your country by searching for it on google. I found mine on other forum, and it works perfect. Just google "lg optimus one <<your country>> rom" (no quotes) and you shall find it. Be sure to get the *.kdz file, not *.dz, they need some other application for flashing, and it is more complicated.
About rooting with z4root, you need to downgrade to v10C or below (maybe v10D works too, i haven't tried) and then use z4root. Make sure you have debugging checked in applications before using z4root.
If you want to root v10D or newer (but up to android 2.2.1) you should be able to do it using OneClick method, it is easy enough, though you need the drivers installed on your pc, as you will connect the device via usb.
Tell me where are you from, maybe i can get you the original fw, at least i can help finding
Cheers!

my phone (optimus one) is new and i still have insurance from the company.
i really want to root my phone in order to install overclocking app because as you know this phone is not that quick.
anyways, people told me that first i need to downgrade my device and than root it with some softwares and to be honest i don't know **** about those stuff.
i would really like someonee here, who knows how to do those things, to help me though skipe or msn and take me though those steps without destroing my android.
my msn: ok i cant write my msn here than just know that the name is Wizarflesh and the mail is gmail.
my skipe: omri.haim
huge thanks to anyone who can help me root my phone.
at least post some info l
like what is your firmware version?
allright
where do i find it? what is a frimware?
i meant it when i said i dont know **** about those stuff.
i am from israel and i bought the O1 from orange company in hebrew languang.
it is 2.2.1 android
Settings ---> About Phone ---> Software Version
Only v10b is root-able. If you have other version you gotta downgrade to v10b.
lg-p500-v10d
can one of you guys help me do all those steps? otherwise i will probably screw my phone
I believe you can do it with Superoneclick

you cannot root 2.2.1
you can find all the info here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=875881
basically find an original LG firmware for your country that is 2.2 (v10b). Then flash phone using flash tool from emergency mode with firmware.
Once you have the original 2.2 rom on the phone, grab Z4root app and then easy to root phone.
Next step is custom rom like cyanogenmod 7 etc if you want real performance! start reading! (alot)
Has anyone tried SuperOneClick to root the O1? They say that it can root any version of Android. Is that true with O1?
No,only 2.2 is rootable for now
I suggest that you read the thread given below
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1007244
The instructions are well explained there.

Once you root your phone immediately install the recovery. Don't play with a rooted handset if it is not having recovery. Otherwise you will end up in a boot loop and its really hard to get phone back in working condition(in case something goes wrong).
Be very carefull while installing recovery. Crosscheck twice before you push anything to handset.
Chat with me on g talk my I'd is [email protected]....
Sent from my LG-P500 using XDA App
you can root with this. I did it
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1044765
Yup... its been tested and proven that you can root 2.2.1 using Gingerbreak (dont u guys read the news??? ), though i havent done it myself... rooted mine long time back before Gingerbreak came
use gingerbreak....
can you install CM or amon recovery and and custom rom on P350?
Hello could someone please point me in the right direction to root this thing. I've notice there are different methods and a lot of brick talk on here so I'm a little reluctant to use one.I'm not new to the root I have rooted my evo,intercept,g2, galaxy tab. But all those seemed pretty safe I have t 201 and I updated to ics. One more thing I don't care much about the roms just want to run rooted programs so is it even worth it with such a new device?
I rooted mine with sparkys root but first use the unlock tool <unzip your unlock tool prior>...sparkys app is easy either download it with your computer then place in the file of your liking to open and install the app... or i think you can just download it from his page in developement with your prime. And has uproot available which I have done and then rerooted just for fun... enjoy your rooted Prime..

Hi,
Look HERE
Hey guys...so I got my galaxy note 2 which I upgraded from the s2....but I had downloaded a font and I want the same font for this phone...but I dont want to download flipfont...cuz I only want the one font....also anybody know of a cool keyboard that doesnt track keystrokes and record them please help guys...also kinda new to the modding also not wanting to root either
If you don't want to root its going to be impossible to do most mods. If you do decide to root or unlock your phone its pretty much impossible to mess it up as long as you get the stock recovery files for Odin and have Odin setup with the proper drivers.
