You posted in the wrong forum. This should be posted in Q&A. You probably have the 504 firmware and you are being prompted to update to .24
Oh wow sorry I wasn't paying much aattention to the forum I was in..... so should I do this.... will have to re root or anything afterwards?

before i do this. ur 100% positive i can root this. because im reading around it says i cant and theres a pre rooted version i can use instead.
what are the benefits of this firmware anyway.
you can flash a prerooted version, also superoneclick or smthn should do the trick now, atleast what ive heared, so i recommend to flash the prerooted one, i think binary has it somewhere
Hi - When .024 first came out SE had patched the exploit, but now there's a version of superoneclick that will root it - i did. it's on here somewhere.. you'll find it if you search..
ive tried it...didnt work for me...so now i feel like im stuck without a root. great !
ima try a few more times i guess.
any other options?
so after one click failed i tried the root that came with the flash tool i used and it worked so im fine now.
Christ has risen!
To all of you that are tired of the long, not so simple way to root your Optimus One, I just came across this. Although it says it's for gingerbread, it worked for me. I'm using original 2.2.1 firmware.
Hope you're gonna find this useful!
hi cristi_bostan2005,
thanks for the information. I have tried and it also work with Android Version 2.2.2, software version v10f-FEB-24-2011
Does this mean no need of downgrading any more to install custom roms? Also is it safe to use it on our phone?
this is great news, though I'm still on v10b
where is detail i m not able to see it
thanks for this i rooted my phone using this was running froyo 2.2.2 with out the requirement of downgrade was able to root the phone successfully
? I am not seeing any info regarding app...what is the method?
For those that didn't see the link, here it is:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1044765
It's an app, similar to z4root that can root your phone, without you needing to downgrade as before. It's very simple.
Follow the link, download the latest apk to your phone, install it, run it and that's it!

How do u root LG Optimus M?

Will the Ginger Break work for LG Optimus M? How do I install?
Sent from my LG-MS690 using XDA Premium App
thanks, worked great on 2.2.2 (ADEUBK 10e)
How many minutes did it take to root the phone? Mine is taking forever... :-S
not very long... about 30 seconds to 1 minute i think ??
Going to reboot and try again then.
but:
Some important things to know:
- You must have USB debugging enabled on your device
- You need to have an SD card (formatted and) inserted
- The APK must be install to device, NOT SD card
- The exploit may take a while to run, but not more than 10 minutes, if it does, get me a logcat, and reboot the device
- Always reboot between root attempts!
- While (temporary?) root access may be attained, due to locked bootloaders, efuses, S-ON, and whatnot this may still not work on your device
- The GingerBreak exploit should not be used to attain temproot and continue using the device. It fscks vold, you do not want to be running like that. You want to reboot! So if the root doesn't stick, you (still) have a problem.
Nope, it wasn't running properly, I waited more than 10 minutes.
I've rebooted and tried to run it again and this time it rooted the phone in less than 30 seconds. It was something that was amiss I guess.
Rooted in few minutes on V10E (2.2.2) Italian No Brand.
is it permanent root? i'm wondering if the phone can still be Unrooted after using this app? sorry for the noob question.

Hey I just got my Lg oPtimus one P500 and I want to know how to root it, superoneclick doesnt work for some odd reason (I think I needed to download some huge apk program or something, idk, I'm not much of a techie) and I need to know how to root it! (is there an app I can download? z4root didn't work)
If I root is it gonna erase all my data?
and where can I find a link to information on how to overclock my phone. cause I want to get it a bit faster but I don't want to blow it up :\
id appreciate help, thanks!
Go back to ROM 2.2 and then Install z4root. It's pretty straight forward.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=833953
You can also use SuperOneClick.
Here is a guide for doing everything from rooting through to custom ROM with lots of explanation.

don't forget to say thanks

hi ya, i have just come from the pulse which i know is totally different, and the wildfire, which wasnt rooted, this phone is amazing compared to them, so far francos rom to me is perfect and each kernel he releases is perfect for me aswell.
oh and to the OP, im not sure about using the other roots but with gingerbreak, i installed it on the phone, run it, it rooted it and put superuser on there, i then used the guide and put on the custom recovery and francos rom, all in all it was very easy..
i tried the gingerbreak v1.20 on v10c 2.2.1 indian stock rom and it worked perfectly.
btw i broke my old optimus and bought a new one.
so sad my dead optimus
Hello i am newbie and bought optimus one 1 month ago.I had to send the phone to service centre for usb problems and already got the PCB replaced.I know rooting voids warranty but i want it as i want to use link2sd,proxy for wifi
Can anyone please tell if i root using this method will i be able to unroot,because my phone already had problems,and it may also have in 11 months.
I am using V20B 2.3.3 GB Indian

You can download the Gingerbreak apk (search the forums) and use it to root. No need to connect to PC and all. And yes, you can easily unroot.

Rooting is the least risky thing you can do to your phone. Use the link you first posted. The process is a bit iffy, so if it fails for you ask on that thread or PM the people for whom it succeeded.

Yeah, if that method doesn't work, then downgrade to 2.2 firmware and then use Gingerbreak. Here's the how-to thread.

I am looking for a possible way on 2.3.3 stock.But this is my first time.I never rooted before so i am looking for ROOT+UNROOT Option ( for 2.3.3 stock)
Anyone please clear my doubts.
Imo doing a factory reset removes your root. Never tried it though, making an educated guess.

See if you want it to be rooted/unrooted in a single step, then Gingerbreak is the best option.
Since you're on 2.3.3, first downgrade to 2.2 using KDZ updater. I already gave the link. Then use Gingerbreak.
If you do not want to take any risk at all, then forget about rooting and continue using your phone.
Hello xda members!Im kinda new to android development (YES,IM NOOB!) so please take me easy

1. kill you brother
2. you can't root the official 2.3.6 - the exploits in it have been patched up, you need to flash the unsecure kernel from here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1414565 then you would be able to either flash a new rom or root the one you have
I thing you can't root stock int 2.3.6
..you need to flash custom kernel to root it.At least there was no way when I bought it.
