A few days ago I updated my LG P500 to 2.2.2, and of course I lost the root access. I tried to downgrade to 2.2, but when I try to open the KDZ flasher, I get the next error: "MOD UpTestEX MFC Application has stopped working". I have the LG drivers installed. Can anyone help me?

You should use this for rooting:
[ROOT] Super One Click - works with every ROM version (2.2.1 & above also supported)
From what I know, 2.2.2 can not be rooted. Anyway, when I try to root using SuperOneClick (running android version 2.2.2 on LG Optimus One) it gets stuck on "running psneuter". And I was trying to downgrade to 2.2 using KDZ Flasher and got the error I mentioned. What am I doing wrong?
same problem here
same problem here with my optimus l7

Hey guys...I'm trying to put my x10 mini pro from android 2.1 to 2.2...
but every tutorial i try to follow it simply doesn't work...i cant manage to enter in xrecovery mode by pressing back button...
Can anyone help me upgrading my phone? by sending a detailed guide to where do i need to put all the files, from beginning to the end?
if there is an existing guide, where do i find it?
thanks...
(i am assuming your phone has been rooted)
1)you should install cmwrecovery
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1122455
with this app you can easily install it
2)check if it is installed properly by pressing the back button when se logo apperar
3)download the ROM you want
4)put it on sd card and simply boot into recovery (by pressing back button) and follow the steps that are given in the custom rom thread
and DONE!!
P.S-your baseband should be the same as per the requirment of the rom otherwise you will face bootloop
(the rom i am using : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1198941) srry for my english
this is weird...i just downloaded the .apk, but my x10 doesn't recongnizes it
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1128854
use this apk its really simple....
Hello.
Has anyone tried the MiniCM7 Pro - V15? Ok it works stable and fast?
My friend tried it. It works great. For the other issue of not being able to flash is cause of mismatch in radio version. Upgrade radio first using semc upgrade tool. Then follow the listed procedure.

In my memory there are crashes while in use.

I am stuck in a strange problem. I have LG P500 which i have rooted with superoneclick and it is rooted now. I have 2.3.3 V20d (India) which i upgraded a year back.
Now the problem is that according to everyone mine is a new baseband but when i use Rom Manger to install custom recovery it shows my phone but in brackets it says 'old BB'..There were just two options,one was my phone and the other to click the box down if my device is not shown in the above list. I am stuck as can't find any solution and i am a newbie.I did ask some senior members and contributors/devs and waiting for the help,so i thought i will post it here also in case someone has faced this problem before.
Screen capture attached as well.....Just do not know where to go from here.Thanks a lot
MORE INFO: I just downloaded XDA ASSISTANT app to check and in software section it mentions about baseband also. The reading is: V07u-000-000 (MAR-23-2009). Can't say if it is of any help

and yes that is your phone lg p500 old bb, it doesn't matter, RomManager doesn't discover your phone, it is just a list that you have to choose
from
Are you sure?

Are you sure it doesn't matter? But why would Rom Manager mention that? That means it is misleading the user and the user can think esp a newbie that his is a old baseband therefore he will not go with the new baseband and land in trouble.
More Info In Case It Is Helpful

My advice: don't use Rom Manager to install a custom recovery (or even a Rom); there have been many reports of people bricking their devices that way. A safer way of installing a recovery would be to use LGMDP or adb/fastboot -- instructions should be in a sticky somewhere; I can't search for it at the moment since I'm on mobile. Anyway, good luck.
Edit: Corrected typo -- it's LGMDP.

Well, I know that I spent a few days reading the sticky threads before I rooted my phone, but even then I managed to softbrick it for a couple of days (though it was sort of my fault, since I was using Linux at the time and all the instructions were for Windows, so I had to improvise). You shouldn't need to read every thread, though -- just the stickies should do.
Anyway, regarding Rom Manager, there's a warning in this thread (post #2) not to use it to install a recovery since the CWM version isn't compatible with our devices. As for a recovery you should use, I strongly recommend AmonRa 3.0.6 for a stable and bugfree recovery.
Edit: Just FYI, I installed my recovery using ADB and fastboot. It was quick and easy, the hardest part was installing the LG drivers and ADB (via installing the Android SDK).

I installed my first time recovery by RomManager on O1 3 years ago, I cannot realy remember how was it but it worked, but first go to settings, apps development(or something, you are on GB) and check ANDROID DEBUGGING, now use this tool from here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1827723 all credits to shinobisoft
you can find recovery's here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1523050 this are flashable zips
or search Optimus One android develepment and original android development threads
I personaly use CWM 5.0.2.7 but my favourite is TWRP (after I'll change rom I'll go back to TWRP)
---------- Post added at 09:54 PM ---------- Previous post was at 09:35 PM ----------
RomManager doesn't suport anymore old phones like O1, that's why it appears with old bb, anyway, allot of ppl flash first time recovery with RomManager, and because it is first time, there must be some fails, not all made it first time, and RomManager is to blame ?? no, worked for me, worked for milions and for a few thousants didn't, and it depends by allot of things but in most cases the people are to blame

No, don't use ROM Manager. 3 years ago when @grigtm used it, it was fine. These days, however, the CWM version in ROM Manager is incompatible with our device. You will risk bricking your phone if you use ROM Manager. Personally, I advise against it.
As for the Android Flash Recovery program that was linked earlier, I haven't used it personally, but it seems easy enough to use. Just
1. Download Android Flash Recovery
2. Install the LG drivers (it's packaged with the program in a subfolder called "USB")
3. Enable USB debugging on your phone (Settings > Applications > Development > check USB debugging)
4. Start your phone in Fastboot Mode.
5. Connect your phone to the PC.
6. Start Android Flash Recovery and follow the instructions.
Confused

This is the first step after rooting.Ok
Fastboot mode is Home + Power i just have to do that? Like in rom manager we could do backup of stock can we do all that also with this?
Actually i read at two places how to go step by step,when to backup,going into recovery and wiping & reset the phone then again into recovery and navigate to the zip file of the rom and extract.But i do not know if it is same with Android flash recovery.
New Words For Me...........OMG why i came here hehehe

Dear you mentioned 'FYI', 'ADB' & 'Fastboot'..... i just heard about them once twice but don't know what are they. I am sorry this can be irritating for you and for me as well heheehe.Only lucky people can go through this smoothly otherwise i do not think i will recommend this to anyone at least before 7 years lol. But seriously i am confused

There is absolutely no need to learn all of the language, especially when you're just starting out. It's enough in the beginning to just follow instructions, and only go into the details of the Android environment later as you gain more experience. No one becomes an expert overnight, after all.
As for the terms I used... FYI simply means "for your information", nothing to do with Android at all. ADB is the Android Debug Bridge, and like the name implies, it's like the "bridge" that connects your PC to your phone. Any desktop-based program or tweaking tool that communicates with your phone most likely uses ADB (such as SuperOneClick, which you used previously). Fastboot is one of the debugging modes available on the P500. There's no need to concern yourself with exactly what it does (and explaining it in detail is beyond the scope of this post); you simply need to know how to enter that mode when the instructions call for it. Basically, what I'm saying is that you don't need to understand things in detail, you just need to follow instructions. All the instructions you need are in the stickies; for now, ignore anything else that's not there (it'll only confuse you).
The LG Mobile United driver should work. If it doesn't simply install the other drivers.
Thanks alot for the concern

I really appreciate your concern for the safety of my phone.Thanks a lot.
Actually i was to read and follow the instruction as you told but since yesterday i was having headache coz of this and it was severe this morning and still can't open one eye heheehe Anyway i went with the Rom Manager coz of this even though it showed my phone as old BB.It was flashed in less than a minute.Then i switchd off the phone to enter into recovery by holding down Home Button + Volume Down + Power Button(button to switch off) but phone just reboots normally,no recovery set up. The thread i am following for instructions at XDA's How to's says i should not boot into recovery from thr rom manager and use only the buttons combination. But it is not happening,can you help in this?
Thanks again

open RomManager and it should detect if you have or no recovery, it says under flashing recovery, if not use that tool I was directing you to and flash recovery, it is a safe tested tool

and do not ever boot into recovery from RomManager, actually after you flashed recovery, uninstall RomManager

maybe you did not pushed corectly the buttons, keep pressed home+vol down+power, after LG logo appears release power button
