Edited: calm down We will get an update soon.. cheers..
All I can see on lgp500.ru is a directory listing. You know, there was no need to shoot the messenger.
I think he meant that website:
Code:
http://www.lg-p500.ru/
Here is the translated version of the article he's referring to.

dont belive in what russians write about that,
its been told LGO1 will get update, and why wont USA Get it, its a big country, whole europe will get it and asia, why not usa,
And Ru forums is known for their rumors
LG aint that lazy
This is absolutely false. LG has already confirmed AND leaked the firmware, plus sent out 01's with Gingerbread for reviews. And another thing.. The blog post is based on a really old article from last year: http://www.gsmarena.com/lg_optimus_one_p500_wont_be_getting_gingerbread_update-news-2129.php
this all thing is a fake information. We will get an update.

Guys, remember that US carriers impose and regulate update schedules, builds and stuff like these for their phones (even if, internally, they are identical to a normal P500)! So, there may be some truth to this story after all...
As an example to their mucking around with the builds, the US version of all Android phones have tethering disabled.
This thread should be closed and deleted.

To all the people on this forum much smarter than me - I will give you as much support and information as I can in order to get a working root exploit on this badboy. As of now, zergrush and gingerbreak are aboard the SS Fail. I actually managed to snag the only Galaxy Note for Bell shipped to my city, but can't properly "move in" to the phone until we get root and thus I get Titanium up and running.
Say the word, and I'll provide whatever I can to the cause. It is the same model of phone that AT&T is getting.

So i decided to ask LG if we actually do have an unlocked BootLoader and if we did how were we supposed to unlock it and this is what they responded me with....
Dear Carlos,
Thank you for contacting LG Electronics.
Unfortunately in USA models boot loader cannot be unlocked as a carrier request. USA models, even though they look similar to the international modes, have carrier specifications on their software. Due to their request that’s why we are not able to unlock it.
Once again thank you for contacting LG. In case you have any other questions, please do not hesitate to contact us again either via email, or by calling our customer service division at your convenience. Have a wonderful day.

If you disable the lockscreen and use Widgetlocker.... along with Nova Launcher, it does give it a Nexus feel.

That's true, kuma.. Personally I read for a couple of weeks, over and over all that was needed and how to recover from mistakes.. It helped so much reading all the posts, what works, what doesn't. I'm very greatful to everyone that went before, and the crazy devs for pushing the envelope and figuring things out.
The current unlocking process may be complicated, but it works, if you take time to read(and read again).
Sent from my LG-P769 using Tapatalk 4 Beta
I want to unlock SO BADLY but I get stuck after I flash, I don't know what to do ahaha xD
The current unlock method for TMO P769 is so convoluted and it seems rather risky... Risky and destructive enough, I will probably not bother. How likely do you think a decent/proper unlock method will be found before the end of the year? I really dislike the stock UI and limited theming options/etc, came from PACMan on my previous phone and this is rather disappointing for a phone with such solid hardware.
Its looking pretty unlikely and I think I might just sell this phone and go back to Samsung where they tell the carrier where to shove it when they ask for a locked bootloader. Shame on LG for complying with this... Sure, they aren't Apple or Samsung but I think they could have pulled it off. At the very least they could have snuck some hidden method like HTC with the wire trick for S-OFF into the US version.
Just got my G3 today and just wondering if a root is available for ZV4?
Short answer. No

Sounds promising to say the least. I can not wait for root to get my Viper4Android working again!!!
Its my understanding that jcase's root is a much broader root than just our phone and that is part of the reason he is holding off (In addition to family issues and other obligations). He would rather wait a month or so and then release the root which can be used on potentially a bunch of phones than release it now and have it work on Sprint's G3 and let the other manufacturers patch it before they release.
Sucks for us but I understand.. hopefully someone else releases something if not I think jcase will still hook us up but he wants the most bang for the buck.. rooting a bunch of phones.. (No, not money, although he would probably get some of that too.)

I don't see the need in a "broader" root. Every other LG G3 variation already has root as I understand it. Reading between the lines, I believe that jcase has a specialty in mobile security exploits and already has one in mind for the Sprint G3. He just hasn't had time to explore it further, because he's a busy guy and has had some family illness issues. It sounds like he plans to try and finalize it in a couple of weeks.

By broader I mean it can potentially root a bunch of other phones. No point in releasing it just for Sprint's G3 when he could wait and potentially help a lot more people. Not just LG G3 phones, other manufacturers as well.. so its probably not something specific to LG or Sprint but Android as a whole. Yes, he is a mobile security expert. Its my understanding he is currently in Las Vegas teaching people about how to exploit Android devices.
