Hi,
Now that the release of the official GB rom from SE is near, the only question that
I have is that will be possible to update from TripNMiui 1.5.6 2.2 rom directly to the official 2.3.3 rom using PC Companion
or
I'll have to downgrade to the generic 2.1 and then upgrade?
Thanks in advance
This might answer your question...

I already got some confirmation that if you modified the firmware or using any modded firmware, you will not be able to update to 2.3. The updater will give you a message that your firmware is not genuine. Like I said, to update, just switch back to SE's stock firmware and do not root it. Root AFTER you update to 2.3.

It did Thanks
i rooted this last night with z4root and did a nandroid backup and then flashed the mik_os compile of CM7, everything has gone fine, but i have decided to try the official firmware to see how it is.
if i nandroid back to the original LG firmware (which was 2.2 based) and then update to the latest release, is it still possible after that to go back to CM7 again if i find i don't like the official gingerbread update? ie. is it possible to root the latest gingerbread update?
i am doing this partly to get the latest radio version but also just to see how good the lg version is compared to aosp/CM

You cannot root the 2.3.3 update from LG, afaik. You've to downgrade it to froyo to root it again.

Ignore the previous reply. If you flash the official unbranded Euro version v20e using KDZ, superoneclick works just fine.

Didn't know that. The sticky thread is not updated with this info I guess. Thanks for letting me know.
ok just to be sure, is the official euro unbranded version this one?? -> http://www.multiupload.com/Q1OOK81QDJ
also this contains the latest radio version, correct?

Yes, that's the euro version and the new baseband will be flashed automatically.
If you want to go back to CM7 you will have to flash the old baseband via LGMDP or a froyo rom via KDZ.

actually i'm not sure if this is the best one to use, its a 7z file and i'm not sure how to flash it. it contains a number of .img files as well as some .mbn files.
will have to keep looking.

There is a rom search & download tool on this forum wich will help you download the correct .kdz file; you have to search the thread which contains it.

tried already, that is how i found the 7z unpacked version. the official LG website link is saying 'Forbidden'
ie. this one -> http://csmg.lgmobile.com:9002/swdata/WEBSW/LGP500/ANEUBK/V20e_00/V20E_00.kdz
people have reported the unpacked version working, but i was a bit hesistant as its not how i have done different LG phones, i have normally used the .kdz
if anyone has the v20e .kdz could they mirror it somewhere, would be appreciated by a lot of ppl i think..
ok got v20e flashed finally, now only problem is rooting it, tried superoneclick but getting
Code:
Remounting /system with read-write access...
mount: Operation not permitted
FAILED
also trying gingerbreak, not much luck there either... am i doing something wrong?

did you actually get this to work? how?? so many ppl have reported the mount error that it no longer seems like coincidence??
rooted finally -> http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=15454927&postcount=7
Glad you got it sorted.
I just followed the same instructions you did, and never had any mount errors on either of the two phones I've rooted.

IF you have root then download the ClockworkMod apk from market and install recovery.Use the search button please.
From LG, the Android 2.3.3 is the latest update. If you want to use rom (custom android) made from the devs here, you have to install a custom recovery. Search, read and understand the benefits and dangers of this...
The clockworkmod is the easy way to install custom recovery, but may brick your phone (because it download the file, but don't verify if it is complete) and then you must use the others method.

So i rooted the device using odin 5.0.7 and saw that i cannot update my O.S
Can anybody give me a step by step instruction on how to unroot my device or if there is any way to upgrade my rotted device??
P.S-I am a newbie and i know very little about such things
If you have superuser by chainfire then you can unroot using the app itself. Otherwise download and flash via odin any stock firmware to unroot. Better still flash the latest stock instead of ota updating.

If you want root you are going to have to flash the new Roms as they are released and not try OTA anyway. If you want stock, that's fine, but you can't do much around here with a stock Rom.

Use Odin to install the stock 3.2 rom or use recovery to flash a custom 3.2 rom.
