Default [Q] Using LG's official gingerbread update

Hello,

I am currently dusting my old LG Phoenix off for my girlfriend as her blackberry just died. My LG phoenix is rooted using the gingerbreak.apk however, it is still using Froyo.

I would like to update this to 2.3 for her and was wondering if I can just plug my phone in and run the 2.3 gingerbread upgrade tool from LG. Is this possible? Would the phone retain the root?


Thanks,

:P

P.S. I tried looking around on the forums however, I am using a computer at work so I might have overlooked something.

It should if you download and install OTA Rootkeeper from the store. Once installed backup root then upgrade and reinstall OTA and restore.
