Ok so I just got an LG optimus one, which is supposed to be 2.2. Right when I get internet connection, my phone randomly updates to 2.3.4. Thats right. An LG p500 has 2.3.4. But I really need a root. is there still a way to do this??

The easy way for LGP500 (Optimus One) is SuperOneclick -> http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=803682
You have to install LGP500 drivers and activate from Settings - Aplications - Development - Debugging Mode. After that you can proceed with SuperOneclick, is rooting your phone automatically.
Also next time try to ask your questions in Optimus One General forum FAQ thread.
Have fun.
Does it have any change from 2.3.3 never see a oficial 2.3.4 for our phone.

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.

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
I used the LG software tool to update my Optimus T from Froyo 2.2, LG-P509-V10l to 2.2.2, LG-P509-V10S. Now I can't get it re-rooted. In both v10l and the one before that, I was able to easily use z4root to gain root access. Now z4root starts, but closes a few seconds later without completing. Have also tried Universal Androot and Super One Click 1.91. Both fail. SuperOneClick doesn't offically fail, it sees the phone just fine, but never gets past "Running psneuter."
I had used the LG software tool once before to upgrade to v10l and all went well. Only issue with v10l was very slow performance using wifi. This new version, v10s seems to have fixed that, but includes more "crapware" than ever before AND has a new self-starting app called Wifi Calling that tries to ram wifi calling down your throat if you are connected that way. You gotta manually disable it (opt out) to stop it from automtically sending your calls AND texts over wifi! And then it has the nerve to inform you that wifi calls still count against your minutes!!!
Any idea why this new sw version is breaking three different rooting methods?
z4root does not work for Android 2.2.1 or later. Gingerbreak is what you need. It is great and easy. I rooted my Optimus T with it.
Hey, thanks for the heads up! I'll give Gingerbreak a try and post my results later.
Gingerbreak works! Thanks again, you made my day and weekend! Hope other people will find this thread. Gingerbreak is here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1044765
Already got Titanium backup Pro reinstalled and am ripping out the crapware now.

Great! Chrome crashed and by the time I get back to give you a link to gingerbreak, you have rooted the phone.
Have fun!!
PS It is better to freeze apps rather than delete them. Just in case.
Yeah, I'm quick when it's that easy! I rip out the real crap like game demos and web2go to save space, and I do freeze the rest. TB is just the best!
had the same issue after upgrading to 2.2.2 thanks a lot for this post saved me
since we have optimus T on the topic does anyone know why the new 2.3.3 baseband internet doesnt work here in the US at least with the optimus T
If works. Not with your ROM.

ROMs based on stock GB only. Unless you are told that you need a new baseband for the ROM, it will NOT work. Read the instructions for the ROM.

i am a new owner of lg optimus one, for the first month everything went fine
now i am experienceing following two problems !!
1. My google talk app now acts in a weird way... the conversation is shown in a distorted way, the second persons message gets displayed at the top of the conversation and my message at the bottom !!
earlier it used to be just fine
i have tried deleting all data of the app, reinstalling the app, restoring my phone to complete reset, nothing helps
2. nowadays my wifi is sufering from a strange problem : my wifi stays connected but in order to access anything i have to switch it off and then turn it on...this method lets me browse for 2-5 minutes then again same problem.
this didnt happen before, i was using stock lg optimus 2.2.1 rom rooted with gingerbreak
now i have unrooted my phone to check the issue , still no resolution
HELP !!

android 2.3.4 for the hero can't exist...))) You have to have a custom ROM so you can get this version....maybe you got updated to 2.1 update 1...
To get root @ hero you can do this via universal androot...it's a app that can make root after you install it from the sd card...just open it and select to root it, and after that you will see an icon that has the name Superuser
Stefan
btw if you say that you have android 2.3.4...can i u take a picture so i can see
1) Don't make new threads all the time, there was just created a new thread about this -.-
2) You don't have an HTC Hero G2 touch, you have an HTC G2, and I think that is the phone known as Desire Z. Does your phone have a hardware slider keyboard like i think it has? If so your in the totally wrong forum...
Ok sorry guys. Only posted it two times cause no one replied but thank you very much for ur help guys.

(just delete the spaces in the URL)
I am at work now and can't check whether this info is accurate. Does anyone know if the update has indeed been released?
Thanks.
Why use official when you have better roms like miks port on Cyanogen or SonyGen (Which I prefer)
Its false. I tried it and it does not work.

Appreciate your taking time. Here come n00b questions:
1) Will this work with Optimus T (P509). Couldn't find any info on which Optimus model this is for. AFAIK, P500 ROMs are no good for P509.
2) Any major issues?
3) It says the ROM uses the old baseband. What does it mean? Will 3G/4G work? Wi-Fi?
4) Oh, and will I be able to revert back to official firmware in case LG decides to release an official update?
Thanks.

1. Yes. All P500 ROMs are compatible with the P509 (but FWIW, you will lose the T-Mobile Wi-Fi calling feature).
2. No. Read the known bugs list.
3. Wi-Fi and data will work with the old baseband (which is what you are using now).
4. Make a backup before you flash a new ROM (it is also possible to download the original firmware from LG).
1) why wouldn't the rom work on optimus t by the looks of google image its the same phone just renamed. I can check in the specs tomorrow (11:40pm here and class starting at 8:30am).
2) old baseband is what you want to keep. The new baseband has some sort of new feature which disables the Data transfer so you want the old baseband.
3) you can always get the original firmware back to your phone using the kdz updater thibgy which is made by LG but I highly doubt you wil want that. I'll link you up in the mornig if I've got time or maybe someone else will.
I noticed somene else replied and well I didn't answer the questions in order

IIRC ROMs for different Optimus One-based models (One, V, S, T) may not be compatible with each other as they work on different 3G bands/frequencies. This is what I heard so I just want to confirm. Thanks.
Can you, guys, also provide a link to a guide on how to backup and flash ROMs/firmware? I am relatively tech savvy when it comes to computers but an absolute noob when Android is concerned. Million thanks.
BOGUS as others have stated.
The below site lists all newly released LG roms and the 509 ain't on the list
http://csmg.lgmobile.com:9002/csmg/b2c/client/agent_phonesw_notice_list.jsp
Optimus T and Optimus One have slightly different 3g basebands.
Fortunately, Andy and mik are in no hurry to support the new baseband and with the FD bug why would they.

They are not all compatible; only the Optimus T (P509) is compatible with the Optimus One (P500). I don't have a data plan, but AFAIK, there isn't an issue with 3G when using a P500 ROM on a P509 with T-Mobile US.
This guide covers most of the steps.

so im a little bit let down right now, after the update, i didnt get exactly what i expected. i went from 2.2 to 2.2.2, which i suppose any update is better than none, but i had been using the p500 2.3 kdz for a while now and was excited to see i may not have to manually input my APN settings everytime for my data and mms to work after a restore..
hopefully the p500 is a sign that well be recieving 2.3 eventually, just not right now lol
so I installed the V10S which broke the root ability even with Gingabreak I cannot get it to root.
Do you guys have any tips on what to do?
Also I would like to test 2.3 on my Optimus T because the canvas element should be accelerated and run HMTL5 based games faster.
I am currently developing a game and thus would like to test this speed improvement.
But honestly after spending days on the web I am more than confused about if there is a Android 2.3 rom for the US T-Mobile LG Optimus T which also runs stable and supports all functions including the Google apps.
Help to put an end to my noob level would be much appreciated !!!

Gingerbread for LG-P509?
MechanicaIMan:
I really like the information you have contributed here, I'd like to get my P509 running the same rom set up you have, but I'm not sure if I can because I updated my baseband when I flashed my current ROM. By the way is there anyway to manipulate the CPU to an ARMv7?
Here's my phone info:
Model: LG-P500 (actually a P509)
Android Version: 2.3.7
Baseband Version: LGP500AT-00-V20g-OPEN-COM-JUN-14-2011+0
Kernel Version: 2.6.35.10-cyanogenmod [email protected]))
CPU info: ARMv6-compatible processor rev 5 (v6l)
Mod Version: CyanogenMod-7-02202012-NIGHTLY-OptimusOne
Build number: GWK74
Thanks in advance.
Somebody PLEASE answer....
like someone said earlier, i too was let down when i saw the update was for a 2.2.2!!
Is the Optimus T getting/has an "official" gingerbread update?
if so, please send link and or fastboot instructions. Thanks.
