To install GB you must flash the new baseband. So you either flash the whole ROM via KDZ or flash just the baseband via LGMDP (a small search will reveal everything I say, so there's no need to post links).

If you flash via KDZ you will have a stock phone. It's a "clean" flash. If you want to root it Gingerbreak has no use, search this section for threads about GB rooting, there are plenty.
If you flash the baseband via LGMDP your customrecovery will remain and you will be able to flash one of the already rooted GB roms here.

thanks mate !!!
actually i followed the KDZ method
outlined here http://forum.xda-developers.com/show....php?t=1060121 ( although its for froyo but i believe the process should be same )
used the 20G file from this link : http://csmg.lgmobile.com:9002/swdata...00/V20G_00.kdz
The flashing went fine but the phone is not booting
i am stuck on the android LOGO
what should i do

Turn off the phone and try a hard reset first (home+vol down+power)

Thanks mate , reflashed everything and then did a hard reset.
booted and working fine now.
but somehow there is no file manager in it LOL :P
got ASTRO for that.
Could you pl link me to a thread where all the KDZ files are listed with their download links.
Also could u help me to root this phone with the easiest and safest method ( actually its my primary no :P )and if there is any voodoo kernel available to speed things up for this.
regards
