If you would have posted in the LG Revolution forums, you'd get better help
Do you have the phone set to "internet connection?"
Have you downloaded the correct drivers from here:
http://www.lgforum.com/resources
Scroll almost all the way down to the bottom of that page and download the "Verizon" drivers.
1 Download zip and extract
2 Install drivers if not already installed
3 Click root.bat and watch the magic!!!
How Do I Remove CWM and Unroot?

Now you can root once you install those drivers. Follow the instructions in the "All In One" root thread and get rooted. Then hop over to the thread for GingerVolt and get your ROM. Here's the thread for Gingervolt:

Ok cool, is that all you wanted to do to it or did you want a custom ROM or an overclockable kernel? Maybe a theme?

Yeah you'll lose your apps and stuff. There's an app called MyBackup Pro in the market than back up your apps and contacts to your sdcard. Then you can just flash the ROM and restore your apps and contacts afterwards.

On my Revolution I installed Gingervolt v1.3, the Blitzkrieg Kernel which can overclock to 1.9gHz and I'm running my own theme called Dread Ginger which can be found in the LG Revolution Themes and Apps section.

I rooted my T Mo vibrant last night using the method on this site. nut I don't know how to really put it to any good use. The only thing I've done with root is download set cpu app. How can i get 2.2 and does anyone know of any really good apps out there for those of us who are rooted. And one last thing...........can I go back to stock if I ever need to send my phone back ? Any feedback is greatly appreciated!!!!!!!!

Can you ever go back to factory default - Yes
Program you need to get more out of your phone is Rom Manager
Install, super user, BusyBox
This will give you the ability to install any custom rom you need on your phone.
if you have not tried a custom rom, try Nero 3.
Copy it to your Internal SD card, use install rom from SD option in Rom manager.

Okay. I have successfully rooted my vibrant that I bought on ebay with eclair 2.1 update1. I just followed a video by the unlockr guy. The problem is that I am on eclair 2.1update1, so it seems I cannot get rom manager free to install and thus flash clockworkmod recovery because rom manager doesn't support eclair. My question is what do I do from here to get to gingerbread and then ultimately the ics passion rom? I've rooted several devices before and know what to do once I have clockworkmod to boot into from rom manger but I have never rooted a device with eclair. I am admittedly confused and need some help. Thanks in advance for anyone willing to tolerate my inexperience with this particular issue.
Go through the sticky at the top of the page and use the update.zip method to install clockwork
Sent from my T959 using XDA App
rom manager isnt supporting 2.1 anymore
So to make sure I am clear. From where I am at now with root on eclair2.1update1, just copy the update.zip(the 1.7 mb one right?) from the sticky onto the phone, reboot holding volume up and down and power and reinstall package? I am truly sorry for my ignorance here but this vibrant is just not as easy to play around with as other phones and tabletss I have rooted.

option A update.zip will root your phone .
if you have the Rom you want to flash Transferred to your phones internal SD arlread use option B update.zip and once in recovery flash the Rom .
P.S It is true Rom Manager no longer supports Eclair . Kind of stupid IMO
also you have to do reinstall packages twice

Neobuddy is not able to test this himself, and is working with people in the US to try and solve the issue. Unfortunately he said the issue doesn't look like it's going to be resolved any time soon.

Correct, get the update.zip from the sticky and this will install CWR for you. I use Super One Click to root my vibrant (just make sure to follow the directions, I've forgotten to turn on debug mode and thrown things that didn't need to be thrown!)

Come on guys. Let's look at the post time stamps. This was posted almost 6 months ago, almost to the exact day.
I am a complete noob when it comes to Android devices and I would like to root my SGS2 but I'm scared that I will mess up and 'Brick' my phone. Also what are the Pros and Cons of rooting a device?
Basic info of the phone...
Android build : Gingerbread.XWKI8
Version : 2.3.5
Kernel Version : 2.6.35.9-1900XWKI8-CL616395
[email protected] #2
Use the latest version of SuperOneClick. You'll need some drivers, install KIES to get them.
The best way would be for you to go to the forum section dedicated to your device instead of asking in the wrong forum.

So, I see someone already helped you.To prevent this question being asked again, cuz its probably going to, the easiest way is flashing a CF root kernel with Odin [ the only thing you have to do is find the suitable version, turn the phone into download mode Volume Down + Menu + Lock button, then press volume up I think.
Connect the phone to the pc via usb, double click on odin, wait till it recognizes ur phone, load the CF root in the pda tab and click flash. You wait a minute and you are done.

Gtg...good to go......cf root will install clockwork mod on your phone....meaning u wont need to use odin on your pc to flash another rom(unless its a tar: file......with cwm you flash using your phone by going in to the cwm app and selecting cwm recovery.....its much quicker than odin flashing.just make sure u make a backup before u flash

There are some good custom roms on android original development forum.
I personally use italian custom rom, gives you good battery life and looks. for more info please see this post "http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1162715"
you can always change the rom if you don't like it as long you have rooted your fone and you have CWM (Clock work mod) installed..
Happy flashing..
don't forget to press thanks button,,
You can use the CF-ROOT method. For me it has been the easiest, safest & quickest I have found:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1103399
If you dont find the exact version of your firmware, dont worry, try to use the most similar. It should work. As they say in the post, if you use more than 30 seconds in getting root, you need some practice.
Is there a way to currently root your sgs2 all from your phone? (Without a PC)
For example; Rooting +CWM>install kernel+ new rom/baseband
phone for starting base kk6/2.3.6
Just wondering. I wanted to make a powerpoint about how to root android phones, but I think each phone is so specific that a general method may not be applicable?
Also that most phones need to be flashed via PC for starters? (yes/no?)
I figured generally speaking:
1: Look for your phones model number, android version and baseband,
2: download and flash correct rom (renaming the file if necesary)
3: with phone rooted install ??? (rom/kernel/new bb/cwm or whatever)
I don't know if I can do this as a "general" powerpoint for android, but I can do it specifically for SGS2; however, not everyone has an SGS2
ideas?

Please read the OP. How is rom manager working with ICS relevant to this if he's starting from KK6 GB?
Maybe mobile Odin can work but idk if you can use that without root already on the phone. I had to root mind from download mode using a pc with Odin.
Seems like a cool idea to explore.

Mobile Odin requires root.
AFAIK there's no current way to root an SGS2 without a PC. I found SuperOneClick to work just fine, doesn't require you to flash using Odin, but it does take some patience and a few tries, and a PC of course.
I could be wrong of course, please correct me if I am.
I read you can run android sdk/adb from usb stick. Just need the "final" folders installed. Any tips?

I never do backups unless fresh power off then booting recovery , no rom manager ..
i just was suggesting possibly with it installed cwm can install without a pc.
the only caveat was if root access required to install it as I don't remember and can't think of any way rooting is possible without a pc EXCEPT installing a pre-rooted rom
*which is not possible on sgs2 with standard sammy recovery correct

uhhhh....
COMPLETELY different phones, COMPLETELY different hardware. NO....you cannot use rom manager for the i777 unless you are working solely with AOSP builds....in which case you would ALREADY have a CWM kernel
this has been the case on all samsung galaxy s line except the skyrocket/t989. there is no doubt that it simply DOESNT work from stock. its not speculation, its fact.
things are different over here dude. the i777 is pretty much nothing like the i727 aside from sharing a name and touchwiz....

Hello all, I hope this is the right place to ask this, but I recently crossed over to Android devices from BB so I'm still trying to figure out my way around things. Today I flashed ICS Android version 4.0.3, kernel version 3.0.8-perf-i717uclc5-cl281649 and build number iml74k.144 onto my Note and the installation went fine, had no problems at all, but now I can't install apps from my web browser(Chrome) onto my Note like I could before the flash. USB debugging is on.
Is this something that I may have done wrong? Any help would be much appreciated.

You can't install apps using Chrome browser from your PC ?
Why not use the Market (play store) app that's already on your phone? You have to have a Gmail account set up on your phone to access the market.

So I downloaded the Seraphim First Flight, but I have no idea how to flash it onto my device, I'm assuming you can't do it through Odin?
You better stop! There are so many instructions about rom flashing. Study up!
You can ruin your phone with the click of a button. You sound close to it.
It's really not that hard...
0. Download Rom of your choice to somewhere on your external SD card.
1. Use Odin to flash the latest version of i717 ClockWorkMod Recovery (aka "CWM" )
2. Boot into CWM (use 3-finger salute method to boot into recovery).
3. Clear cache/factory reset
4. Install Rom of your choice that you had saved to your external SD card.
5. Reboot and enjoy .
But yeah, if any/all of the above confuses you, then you REALLY need to spend many hours reading before you go any further.
As for roms, I recommend dman's (as already mentioned) or ICS Perfection -- both have lots of active support...
Good luck.
+1 listen to dman he is D-MAN. you cant go wrong with anything made by THE COLLECTIVE...... any Collective rom will set you straight, just read all instructables .

Today I flashed ICS Android version 4.0.3, kernel version 3.0.8-perf-i717uclc5-cl281649 and build number iml74k.144 onto my Note and the installation went fine, had no problems at all, but now I can't install apps from my web browser(Chrome) onto my Note like I could before the flash. USB debugging is on.
Is this something that I may have done wrong? Any help would be much appreciated.

Him mentioning USB debugging immediately made me think he was speaking about side loading APKs.
If you're trying to install apps downloaded from sources other than the market, for future reference, you must check the "unknown sources" box under settings>security.

So I downloaded the Seraphim First Flight, but I have no idea how to flash it onto my device, I'm assuming you can't do it through Odin?
