1. You can unroot after rooting. Use Gingerbreak app to root/unroot.
2. No it's not. If this was illegal, there would not be such a big community supporting it.
3. If you do all the steps properly, you will have no problems with your phone. Even if your phone gets bricked, tell the LG care person that you messed up with your phone while updating the firmware through the LG support tool.
4. You've repeated the same question twice
5. Yes you can. Download the official firmware from the forums and flash it through KDZ.
And please don't open up new threads like this for such basic stuff. Read the forums and use the search button. See this thread first: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=901247

There is app2sd which will move the whole stuff into external memory. I've never used it and never thought of using it. If you want to store the apps on your memory card, you can move all of them if you use a Cyanogenmod 7 based ROM. And regarding your stored data, I've no idea as I never had to buy another card from the one I got with the phone. Again, please search the forums.
ok thank you I rooted my lg optimus one using gingerbreak.apk
but there is a problem when I install busybox installer and when I click on install
they said sd card is not plugged in?install failed
also rom manager tells
error while downloading from server or sd card has not enough space
what to do?

Make sure that your phone is not plugged into the pc and check if your sd card is mounted. Otherwise check available space on your card.

don't do it again and again, that might cause a permanent brick. Try this
Switch off your phone and try to enter recovery via 3 button combo i.e home+vol. Down+ power button.
If it boots into recovery, its good then

ROM manager is useful only when you need to flash a recovery. Once you're done with flashing ClockworkMod recovery, just kick the hell out of ROM manager and never use it again. It is one of the ****tiest app around. After the recovery is installed, you can use it always. It will be easier than messing around with ROM manager. Good luck!

Yes amonra can be used as well. But the issue mentioned here happens with ROM manager and clockworkmod works like a charm.

Generally when we fix the fastboot semibrick, we actually flash the recovery img of amonra. If someone wants CWM after fastboot fix, replace the amonra recovery image file with CWM's img file

if you did right root you should see superuser app in app menu. if you install sucessfuly cwm, then restart your and after your will be booting up hold power+vol. down and home. You get recovery. Confirm, if you get into the recovery.

Did you not make a backup?
Sent from my LG-E970 using xda app-developers app
Not sure if this is what you need,a member here much smarter than I told me this about my E970 when it was unplugged before the backup was made.
In the end these phones are basically unbrickable, so you can always get into download mode (Vol up + Vol down +usb cable +power) and use LGNPST to restore back to stock. LGNPST info can be found on irc
I do not know what irc is but there ya go,google away and hope it works .
I don't completely understand what I'm doing when I'm doing things to my phone. All I know is that some pretty great people with a much better understanding of the inner workings of phones tell me to do this or that. On that note, why are people so quick to say their phone is bricked when they still have a phone that will boot into something? Anyway...
What if you try removing the sd card, use another phone or an adapter for a pc, to download a rom to it. Put it back in your phone boot into recovery and flash it.
Or use that LGPNST, or whatever you call it, method...

If you are in TWRP you could use the file manager under advanced to try and move the .zip to internal memory. Then see if you can flash.
But I always flash from external and never have issues.
You may have a corrupt .zip, maybe try downloading it again and then try again.
I had an issue where my SD card wasn't Fat32 so TWRP wouldn't put anything on the SD or boot anything off the SD. I can't remember if I could browse the folders with TWRP's file manager or not though. That's not much help I know, but might be worth looking into. You can try formatting your SD as Fat32, loading the stock ROM on it, then see if TWRP will flash it.

Related to this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=39344227
Anyway I'm not familiar with CWM since the Galaxy Player 4.2 is my first Android device ( And is not like the device has been easy on us right ), my device is rooted and the problem is that I already got the Kernel on my device and as expected I'm without WiFi. How can I configure the CWM Recovery without WiFi, if not, how can I get WiFi back?.

Can I flash the fix without CWM, for example with Odin?. I'm having a really hard time here, since I was dumb enough to install the Kernel without configuring the CWM before or at least making sure I could do it without the WiFi. Now the problem is when I want to flash with Rom Manager it says I need the recovery since I'm not a premium but again in order to get the recovery I need WiFi internet :/.

Wow it's the first time I see somebody having more problems with CWM than odin (no offense). Actually all you need to do is to put the patch into your device and then boot into CWM. Once into CWM, go into install zip from sdcard, then chose zip from sdcard and chose your patch zip. Once you choose it, you will see a bunch of no and one yes, check yes and it will patch it. Once it's done, reboot your device.
Hope it helps.
I'd like to know if flashing the kernel with CWM will make loose data, apps and preferences ? Thanks.

Man, I feel so stupid right now . I managed to run the CWM boot now when I try to install the zip the update. Says:
"E: failed to verify whole-file signature
E: signature verification failed
Installation aborted"
Maybe I should tell you everything I did just in case.
I had the device already rooted.
Flashed the kernel
Installed the CWM v5.0.2.7
Transfered the Fix zip to sdcard
then I did everything you said and also tried to disable verification and still failed.
Sorry to be bothering U_U.

So you can't install stock from SDE?
Have you tried the "reformat device" option inside SDE? If you are going to try it, remember to have stock rom ready. The tablet will ask it after formatting.

So was the install of stock successful? I think you should get the stock working before trying other custom ROMs.
And after getting the stock back, then to check other roms.
Bootloop? ROM starts loading and then boots again? Hmm... As its stock-based ROM, it shouldn't do that when you are coming from stock.
Get the stock working, and then format your /data from SDE.

I don't know much about Micro Max, but in my Samsung you can reset pattern by deleting

Whenever i try to delete it says permission denied
If you enter a wrong pattern 5 times, it should offer to send it to your associated Gmail account (you may need to tap the emergency call button then go back to the lock screen for that to appear.) Restoring to stock is also an option, although you'll lose your data (but not what's on your internal/external SD card).

You need root access. If you have root, then type
Code:
adb shell
su
Then delete those files, reboot and lock is removed.
For GermainZ's Gmail method you need to be connected to internet. If you flash stock then external SD card will be safe. Internal card will be wiped.

If you enter a wrong pattern 5 times, it should offer to send it to your associated Gmail account (you may need to tap the emergency call button then go back to the lock screen for that to appear.) Restoring to stock is also an option, although you'll lose your data (but not what's on your internal/external SD card).
There's also this article.

Gmail account is associated with some unknown one that I don't know. Restoring to stock will only delete my apps right? I could do this but its recovery isn't working.

Then I hope you can use recovery. Download Aroma File Manager, I suggest version 1.80 or 1.90
Flash Aroma File Manager from recovery. Mount data before flashing.
Delete above mentioned files. (No root required).
Reboot and done!

Search your device's forum/ask a recognized developer of your device how to install recovery by SP Flash Tool.

You can also flash your device (complete installation of stock).
You don't need recovery for that.
I can't help much as I don't have Micromax. I have Samsung.
But be extremely careful. Ask some experienced person before you do anything.

If you deleted both files, then it will accept any pattern. When my phone was locked, I deleted those files from Aroma File Manager, rebooted and entered any wrong pattern and phone unlocked.

I deleted but it only asks gmail login info. I own a same phone, I changed lock screen to "none" on my phone and copied "locksettings.db" and "settings.db" from my phone to my SDcard. Inserted it on locked phone and replaced said files with armoa file manager and rebooted. Lock gone! Thanks for file manager and info bro. <3
