[Q] Need help rooting FRG83 (2.2.1) on P500

---

Hi, guys.
My phone has been updated this week via lg official updater and I can't seem to root this thing using simple means. I've used superoneclick, z4root and rageagainstthecage (including manual adb method and gui).

Hope people can help. The firmware in suspect is V10E_00.

Thanks in advance.

I have this problem too. I updated using the LG update software and the software version is now V10E-NOV-30-2010, and the android version is 2.2.1 build FRG83.

We need help. Thanks in advance.

Solved?!

Hello,

Guys, even me.. after an official update nothing worked to root my O1 (z4root, superoneclick, etc...) so what I did is downgrade the ROM to 10a but nothing to do.. still the same untill I found this topic http://forum.androidcentral.com/lg-o...optimus-s.html - follow step by step instructions and you'll root your P50x. It worked for me.. hope it will work even for you.

Cheers.

nope

Guys, if you want a rooted phone, in this case downgrade the firmware.. it's easy, I rooted the phone and installed a custom ROM.. much better than the standard.. even rooted standard ROMs do suck

It's just a matter of taste. One minus is that branded ROMs use more resources (sometimes a little, other times many (like HTC sense)).

I understand that Zeule, but if there was a way to directly root this (without having to go to flash back to v10b then install custom recovery, then flash to custom ROM), that would be great.

I don't want to set everything up again: contacts, customizations, etc...

@ameragorn: I've downgraded to v10b before. My contacts and other customizations weren't altered in anyway. It's only when using custom roms that they were lost since it was expected from the data wipe. The good thing is that I had the forsight to sync my contacts with a gmail account I set up just for contacts. You can go back to v10b to get root access or you can wait for a successful method to be devised for rooting v10e.

Easiest way for me to back up contacts and also existing messages is by using MyPhoneExplorer app. Just do a backup there, and once you wiped everything out, just restore it in your phone. No hassle at all.
