This thread serves as a helpline for newbs in the community of Optimus One!
Note:Some roms/kernel may not have been included as I've find roms using ciaox's thread on "REPOSITORY OF USEFUL POSTS IN LG P500 FORUM". If there are any roms/kernel that was left out, feel free to kindly pm me the link of the forgotten rom.
And...let the fingers type! Oh and by the way, this will take at least 3 days from aug 18 so cut me some slack!
Files needed to do any operations are actually attached by links at the bottom of the thread
ROOTING:
2.2= z4root
Instuctions:
2.2.1/2.2.2=Gingerbreak
Instructions:
All this instructions are for use when you are using your phone! (means that you do not need to use pc.)
Files:
Z4root - link is currently broken, wait a while longer or you could help me search
Gingerbreak - http://www.multiupload.com/UFEYOBKD60
Installing Recovery System:
This is a bit hard so remember to follow every step or you might end up wiping your phone as default recovery is to wipe and reinstall android system.
Also, do this with your phone as well but I recommend Wifi Keyboard downloadable from the market to type the following commands. Download terminal emulator as well as we would be needing that.
Step 0. Download flash.img and whatever recovery (CMW, AmonRa, etc..) you want into the root of your sd card
Step 1. Open up terminal Emulator
Step 2. Change to Wifi Keyboard or use your preferred keyboard.
Step 3. If you are using Wifi keyboard, check the instruction manual
Step 4. Type the following instructions into terminal emulator with a space in between every line
Till here, you should only have either 1 or 0 errors from terminal emulator and if u do have 1 error, it should only be from the last step :"mv /system/etc/install-recovery.sh /system/etc/install-recovery.sh.bak" If this goes perfectly, proceed below, if not, do not proceed but check for spelling errors as if you proceed wrongly, you might wipe your phone (PM me with unidentifiable problem). If its all perfect like I said above, proceed below
Step 5. Wait for it to reboot into recovery...If it shows a box with a arrow pointing from the box to the droid robot, you screwed up. Wipe your tears and repeat from step 1-5.
Help needed: Can someone pass me the latest CMW recovery file by pm and also z4root apk?
