[Q] Rooting and Gingerbread update

Hi Guys,
Another question about rooting
I'm a newbie and am thinking of rooting my LG P500. But I'm concerned that the rooting may affect the future release of Android 2.3 for this phone. Can you guys pls clarify my doubts on this? Will rooting affect the update or will the update just overwrite the rooting to install Gingerbread?
Thanks in advnace,
Karthik

updating to ICS on my rooted Sony Tablet S?[/QUOTE]
There is nno problem in updating ics on ur rootedd tablet but If you update your tablet to the officisl ics then there are chances tht you will lose your root
There is no way to root official ics
If you install custom pre rooted ics from condi aio tool then u have root for your tablet
Hope this clears your doubt

thank you for the advice. can you recommend a rooted ICS rom i can use?
I imagine ICS shall be rooted soon?

ICS Root

Hi guys,
This would have been answered, but is there ANYWAY to get root on my ICS device?
As most of you know it was bricked, so when the UK ICS update came out I just wanted to the device back so I flashed the relevant .zip file.
Would really love root on this, would make it the icing on the "sandwich" lol

No options at all sorry, im in the same boat, had kernel 10.
Hopefully there will be something soon,
Chur
I'm watching here and there if there's something new on the ICS rooting scene but nothing seems to happend for now. Feels like rooting kernels or searching exploits is out of fashion since many major devices providers don't lock their bootloaders anymore. Even Sony has left some air to Xperia owners.
Of course, I don't have access to hacking teams secrets and maybe today's situation is a calm before the (rooting) storm...

help over rooting xperia p

Hi all, I got xperia p for my girl (I use sgs2), it is a great phone, but I would like to root it and get rid of those useless aplications. And possibly to put some rom to make longer life for battery. Rooted my sgs2 but it was long ago so if anyone has experience abd time to guide me via skype or something step by step to root xperia p I would be very thankfull.....
Your question belongs in the Q&A thread mate. And regarding root, you need to unlock the bootloader to root the P, for now. Why would you anyway want to root it when you aren't using it? Your girlfriend might find it harder to deal with the root issues then.
Whel to gain more battery as now you can't uninstall some of the useless applications that are running in the back. And I use it sometimes, the camera is amazing so.... I had no issues when I rooted my SGS2, it stayed the same, only you can remove useless apps by titanium backup... So I'm just looking for a good person to help.
As I said, there's no root now for the P for locked bootloaders. You need to unlock the bootloader. And try disabling some apps from Settings->Apps to improve performance.
Wow, I cant believe there is no way to root xperia..... I thought android is android.... Hmmmm... so there is no way to put another rom lets say ics or better gingerbread?

Thank A lot
I tried to understand what is Docomo and what is the relevance of it for the process but couldn't understand
I have rooted few phones in my life and am not an expert but familiar with the process
I searched but I guess cuz it's an old tablet I can't find much though I love its speed and screen but it's so outdated and can't update or install many apps unless I install high stock or customer firmware
