Okay, so I have the LG Optimus T and I have it soft rooted with z4root. The problem is this: There are no custom ROM's for the LG Optimus T. I can't overclock my CPU (which is a major draw to rooting) with the kernel I have installed. Can someone please help me? I am very new to this, and I'm open to criticism, but I'd appreciate it if you'd answer with helpful criticism. Talk to me as if I'm a beginner, not an idiot. Thanks in advance, guys.
I also rooted my optimus t recently woohooo!
Anyone? Is there a mod for it?:d
Well here is a useful link to JoeMomRom which he striped down.
h t t p://forum.androidcentral.com/lg-optimus-t/52395-rom-joemomrom-v1-only-optimus-t-5.h t m l
The rom is called bareoptimus. I was having trouble with link so if its broke let me know and I will try to find another.
Once you root you are going to want to flash custom recovery too, just incase anything at anytime go's wrong. Hope this helps!!!!
here is a link to a custom ROM i love it http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=920787
I wouldnt of used Z4root, from what I read it wasnt really meant for 2.2, I used Gingerbreak 1.20 and everything is fine...Im currently using devoid froyo final with superblue v5 theme and it's running smoothly, I tried using the darktheme but it didnt work for me, I started years ago with rooting and my very first android phone was the tmobile g1, that's back when there werent programs for rooting you had to learn how to root using TE or ADB, im still in the process of learning everything I can myself and would love to learn how to cook my own roms

Guy at work just got this phone, Visionary will root this phone, i just did it. it loaded superuser and i installed Adfree.
BTW, i think the phone has like 50mb of total memory....horrible.
z4root works on the latest build which is ZVC. Any build before that Universal Androot 1.6 does the trick.
WHERE IS OUR ALLY SECTION ON HERE?!?!?!?!
I can confirm that z4root works on the newest update on LG Ally. Just bought one for my daughter today, applied the latest update and used z4root version 1.3 to root it in about 30 seconds. Had AdFree and Titanium Backup up and running a couple of minutes after that. I did read that it needs to be z4root version 1.3 though for it to be successful on the latest update on Ally.

alright im tired of every one just saying lets go to androidforums iv been with them and well the comunity is a little selfish and both major rom devs (one vanishing mid beta) and one who has kinda disapeared after a 2.2 rom ( we just got it). he is a geat guy and an even beter rom dev but im afraid that he is gone. just a hunch. and well also have onother drelesdi ( i think thats right) i havnt heard much from him he said he had 2.3 ported but he held on to it. said he was waiting for 2.2 for a newr kernal. but we havnt heard anything from him and thos who have spaoken with him have said it wont be released to radio issues which i saw coming( not lik ei knew there would be problems with the radio just i figured there woul dbe some issues) now onto my major point i would like to get a dedicated lg ally section and i want to get a comuniy goin over here too! so devs i can help some im a great tester ill risk my device no prob iv got adb and all that jazz so lets get this train rolling!

Hey pros and newbs, like me lol, I need help rooting, flashing ... etc for my LG g2x. Yes I chose it over the Samsung Galaxy S2 because it looked and felt smoother when i handled both. But any way, can anyone create a step by step tutorial instead of clicking all these links and sending me to different pages and just keep it on one page? I really want to learn! I tried going about it but just worried about bricking my phone. If any one could help it would mean alot to me, the present and future hackers for android! 8)
Go spend some time reading in the development thread, There are already many thread with lots of information.
Start here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1049154
Please READ MORE. People are not as willing to help someone who doesn't not seem like they have read the basics. Also slow down with all the "I'm a NEWB stuff". You are most likely to get flammed. Try to seem more mature and you'll get better results and answers.
Assuming you get G2x with Gingerbread you would...
1. NVFlash ClockworkMod (Do this right & and it will be hard to brick)
2. Flash Rooted Rom of your choice. (Gain root access)
To answer your most likely next few question:
WeaponX for 2.3.3
CM7, EagleBlood, MIUI for 2.3.7
(Personal preferences)
What OS u have on your computer? Also go see what version of android u have. 2.2.2 or 2.3.3. After y answer those questions ill walk you through it.

Hi everyone. Having previously owned a gt540 and a p500, I've just become the proud owner of an Optimus 3D. Thing is I didn't mind messing with a budget phone and had great custom roms on both but I'm nervous about tinkering with this one. It's on stock 2.3.5 v20a. I can't even get the thing rooted at this stage so I'm looking for opinions on where I go from here (roms, kernels, etc). Thanks
Hi DELDROID, and welcome!
First things first: Rooting.
I'm running a dutch LGO3D, came with 2.2.2 and I guess v10b (dunno where to get that from).
I did root it by using SuperOneClick, mount SD card, USB debug on, done in two minutes. I did use v2.2.2 of superoneclick, it isn't (and wasn't at that time) the newest version, but that newer version didn't work for me.
As for ROMS etc, I'm in the same corner as you, I don't have any idea. Finding out myself. In this subforum, just started my own topic concerning this.
Good luck with rooting, let me know if it did or didn't work!

Take the plunge, flash V21a, (which can be rooted) see here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1287236
I'm a noobie and managed the above ok, with help from the forum, after flashing root and install CWM.
Thanks for the replies. I really miss having a rooted phone so I'm going to give V21a a try.
why not go for v21b?
can be rooted too and acurateam has already a rom running on v21b

why it's not worth it? i can't find any issues why it wouldn't by worth it?
I recommend V21a + ThiaiZ Custom ROM. Think you will love it.

is there anything on the lg optimus elite and can ics be put on it?
The phone is already running ics but I'm not sure I'm actually getting the phone on Friday I'm pretty excited cause my wildfire Idrives me nuts with the buggy roms. But as far as I know I don't think anyone's even found a way to root it yet, but I'm not real sure. You might try googling it, I'm interested in this as well I hope they make a thread for it.

Haven't found a way yet
I have been looking for a way to get it rooted. No luck yet. I have an ns4g runnin the jb rom. My buddy, who is helpless in the android world, has been begging me to get it rooted. :silly:
A word from the wise, after a dozen or so downloads from various sources all the files out there that claim to root the elite are corrupt. Even the ones linked from here are no good. Hopefully someone can bail us out but don't dl the ones from the android forums they are crap.
Android forums does has a legit click rooting for the elite thanks to hashtag

Well,I don't say it will work but it's pretty tough.Porting different android versions requires great knowledge and compiling also.But,while building a rom for a specific device is more secure than porting as we never know it will boot or not.But,you may try. But,I nor xda is responsible for any problems to device.You should make a backup and have all recovery tools with you,to ensure that your device didn't get brick.
replace ram disk
Modify updater scripts
Chown and chmod lines modification

Well,Let me clarify one thing.All are noobs in starting.When we start to try things ,we gain knowledge.When I join Xda I didn't knew any thing rather than rooting.I thought that if I know rooting fully,I will be a great dev.(Told u I was a NOOB).Then,I to become popular I posted screenshots of a build.prop edit with written 4.1.1
and told I ported jelly bean.Some people told me -Wow,you are a genious dude.I felt very good hearing appreciation from them.Then,they asked me link for his.I made excuses day after day.then,one day the moderator posted a reply which changed me.So,That's why I started to gain knowledge about all this.

Search for custom ROM which is made for your device.Try CyanogenMod or even search on this forum.My Samsung S+ was running on Gingerbread and now i rooted it with 4.4.2 and it really makes it faster and smoother.But try rooting along side a experience guy else it will brick your device

I searched evrywhere for a custom rom but no luck, cyanogen mod doesn't support my phone, the only thing i was able to do it was root it with gingerbreak 1.2.
So no one can be my obi one kenoby? First of all i would need a clock work mod recovery right? There isn't one for this phone so how can i do it? Is it hard to build?
