This thread has a rooted version of the OTA update with working icons (they'll change from white to green) -- it has to be flashed through ClockworkMod Recovery: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1179748
If you don't like the stock camera app and instead want the LG one, you can find a version of it that works with the OTA update here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1166531
*******HELP NEEDED*******
A lot of people are requesting a ZIP for the OTA or a URL to download it from. If there's anyone who's still on stock 2.2 and is going to try to update to Gingerbread via the OTA update, please wait and PM me if you're willing to help. Thanks so much in advance! Credit will be given of course

That doesn't make sense. It states July 25. That was yesterday. The boards would be buzzing if anyone received the OTA!

I still have old baseband so I might try to update, only reason I didnt because rooting the device is a problem after doing it

There's going to be a lot of cheap g2x for sale on kijiji and craigslist.

This is 100% right. There was a post on the T-Mobile community page for RSA's yesterday. Since I work for T-Mobile i saw this as well. The OTA is v21e so it is the same version as the LG updater.T-Mobile also has it listed that if you do not want to do the OTA, to use the LG updater and update that way. This is a Official msg relased to all t-mobile employe's yesterday.

You don't need to go back to stock recovery, it will overwrite it and all you have to do is nvflash it again.

So all I need to do is keep cwm, restore my stock ROM that I had backed up as soon as I nvflashed cwm, and then I should get an OTA update in which I will then lose root and cwm and be at 2.3.3 stock? Correct?

I'm not seeing the OTA update. It says I have the current version. I restored a backup I made right before I started installing ROMs so my current info is Kernel 2.6.32.9, Software Version V10F, Baseband March 17, and Android 2.2.2. I also restored the stock recovery.
Any ideas? Does the OTA roll out slowly?

I think that's what people were doing with the LG update so I don't see why it would be different for OTA.

Many people got bricked g2x's so I'm worried, and your saying you did a stock recovery so I'm wondering why if you didn't have to

I have 2.2 but my baseband version its july 15 .I can't do the update via lg software, it says that im uptodate :/ .. how can I get the old baseband version?

[Q] Plain G2x AOSP rom?????

Hi, I am getting my G2x next Friday and of coarse, gonna be rooting it as soon as I have it. But I want a plain 2.3.3 OTA rooted rom. No fancy names, EagleBlood, WeaponX and so on.. where or which one can I get? That has everything stock so I can remove and play with. Thank you.

Use this. It's the best stock ROM we have. Super quick, super awesome. Debloated and tweaked for performance.

is this the official ota, or just a leak before ota happend? latest but rooted? just want to get my answers before my phone gets here and because i dont like all that much tweaking of a rom or adding stuff to it just like i noticed with the xboarder link he added that host file adblock, can that just be uninstalled and be back to normal?

or you can try faux's rom and kernel it works well.

There is no adblock. It's an optional add on. It is the official OTA. He just slimmed it down and made it faster. No UI tweaks, or graphical tweaks of any kind

Yeah I was using xboarders tweeked version and it was great Super stable and great battery life no real issues. The completly stock one is good to but the tweek is better. It was my favorite till I installed eaglesblood 1.0.8 that is the best ROM ever made great everything it has a few issues but they are not specific to that ROM no one has figured out A2DP yet to my knowledge. I'm sure they will soon though. I think everyone should use eaglesblood.

Here. This is the OTA 2.3.3 update. It is rooted but that's pretty much it. Still has all the T-Mobile blaotware, etc. Flash it via clockworkmod recovery.

Yea this is the same as the OTA from July/August, its just already rooted. Its not the leaked version from back in April or May or whenever that was. Right now this is the easiest (maybe the only?) way to have rooted 2.3.3 stock rom. You have to use nvflash (check development section for easy-to-use nvflash tool) to flash clockworkmod recovery and then you can boot into recovery and flash this zip.

And note that this zip will not touch your baseband.

Here's a link to the nvflash recovery flasher

Check about phone in the settings when you get it, if your baseband is the march one then you need to run the lg update tool to get the new one.
No other way to get it, and it's a huge improvement.

If you flash a rooted room via clockwork it'll be fine. The official update can't be rooted but nothing can stop you from installing a completely new, rooted rom.

[Q] After 2.3.5 Gingerbread updated firmware... how to root???

I'm absolutely happy with the 2.3.5 BUT i some how lost access to my SuperUser.. Does anyone know what additional software to root 2.3.5 gingerbread for Samsung Infuse? I would deeply appreciate the help

You can't root 2.3.5
As far as I know, the only way you can root 2.3.5 at the moment is to install JordanElliott's 2.3.5 rom (UCKJ1). You'll need clockworkmod rom manager to flash the rom and then the stock kernal to fix the wifi. It was relatively painless.

I haven't seen anything about an official release. The latest leak makes it seem like we are really close though since it includes a bootloader.
I'm sure when the sources are released and the real update is out everyone will know

A. look for threads with titles about the firmware toy are running, b. look for threads about issues rooting, c. How are you running 2.3.5? Did you flash it? Did it get pushed to your phone? Did you buy it like that? Did you buy it new?
If you flashed it with Odin and can't figure this out or find the answer i'm in awe, the answer is in every leak thread so far but the question keeps coming up.

Use SuperOneClick v2.2 and use zergRush as the exploit.

Heck...where dud u get 2.3.5? I want it..lol...yea SOC works good...

i got it from a guy on youtube, type in "Tutorial-samsung infuse" an its an indian fella doing a walkthrough and has the links for it. BUT i cant root my phone because of the update... I tried the zergrush with superoneclick and it locked up on my computer.
ANY suggestions

OK I saw the video.
1. This is not an official update.
2. This is a leaked firmware.
3. Try using super one click on a different PC.

acs easy root does not work. i ran the root.bat it did its thing said you should have root i did not. i tried it 2 times no root. so i used the method i posted above

Seems much more simple to root when your at 2.3.5 (with stock recovery) then OTA update and you will keep root. I think it MIGHT work even if you have CWM but have not tested.

INope doesnt work if u have cwm i tested and so did a few others. But yes thats correct thats easier but i posted this for those who took the update and were not rooted

People are reporting that they didn't loose root when updating. However, not sure if they had stock recovery or not installed at the time. I didn't risk it and flashed back to stock then confirmed SuperOneClick did not work. Used the method described above and rooted.

Yes they had stock recovery. You cant take the ota unless you have stock recovery. And correct if you are rooted with stock recovery u will not loose root

Coming from Captivate and have had flashed HTC phones in the past, I kind of feel like anything Odin IS the easy method. It's like we had a OneClickMethod and a TwoClickMethod.

Correct odin is very easy if you read and follow all directions.

Anybody have a link to the stock recovery for the skyrocket. I want to avoid having to flash completely back to stock before updating to 2.3.6.

Stock means it's the ROM the phone ships with or can be normally updated to... which is either 2.3.3, or 2.3.4.

There's a nandroid of stock 2.3.3 and you can root with super one click, or flash one of the stock ROMs... and it'll usually say " stock" in the title. 2.3.4 if on the new baseband.
Also, you can do some searching... won't hurt.

The method i beleve you have to go by depends on what version you opened the box with.
I started with 2.3
Please only use this as a reference and a reasurence, do a little more searching to find a better guide.
First you restore the backup from the development section
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1048274
Then you need to restore stock recovery with NVFlash http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1056847
Once at this point you can unroot with super one click
now go here http://www.lg.com/us/support-mobile/lg-P999
and click software updates and drivers then follow the instructions to get back to 100% factory.
THIS IS BY NO MEANS A HOW TO
this is just what i have done in the past.

I know this says update to new baseband but following the directions will take you back to stock, lose root and all:
