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!

[Q] Questions about Rooted LG Optimus T

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

Help need with rooting Optimus T
I having a hard time rooting my optimus T. Can someone give me a step by step tutorial or a video. Thank you

CyanogenMod Rom

Hi,
Is there any person or developer who can port CyanogenMod Rom on our Defy?
Or do you guys have any idea regarding this? How can we attract the attention to any developers towards our Defy?
http://www.cyanogenmod.com/screenshots
http://forum.cyanogenmod.com/
CyanogenMod Rom works on Droid. So That should work on our Defy as well.
Looking forward to hear your ideas guys......

We need a recovery first

How can we get that recovery?

Wait for it to be sorted - it will come, just got to be patient

What does it really mean that we need recovery and why? Please explain in a way that a noob can get it.or diect me to a place to read thanks!

Bcs recovery is needed to get the modded ROM onto the DEFY!
You need to replace/modify allot of things and this is not as easy as getting a non market app onto your mobile
And i guess there are much more people looking for a 2.2 or perhaps 2.3 then waitin for a CyanogenMod Rom!?

The modded recovery is out... Please Cyanogen make a miracle...!

my main phone is a G2, and have yet to run a CM rom, I'm, more then happy with what we have so far for the Defy, and thanks everyone efforts, if someone ports an OEm Sense Rom over this way well that's another story lol

You know what I am with the guy above. Im loving what I got so far. And in the new year I will probably do my own custom rom. I am not in any rush to get 2.2 at the moment, and im getting an android tablet today so hack time is being diverted to that

Google, you need to be prepare to read - alot.
Everything I have learnt is from googling - all the various android forums.

Hi, i asked google a lot, but can´t find a realy gooo anser what excatly todo.
I can compile my own rom from source, but what is with driver?Firmware?
How i implement this?

Is the bootloader locked the same way as it is on milestone, droid x and droid 2? Or is it hack friendly and we can load any custom kernel?

I missed this thread before.
I would love to see CM's rom on the Defy. In fact I would have no problem donating to the individual who makes it happen

no way!
No one wants to hack the defy!
Would easy i guess for a realy hacker.
But no one do it.
All want to give motorola devices back or won´t buy it.
Poor.

Very different phone dude, you can find a new defy for 290€, seems the Lg Optimus 2x will be around 550€ ... that's really expensive

Not true. Several people already have.

And ofcourse, if you find yourself in any situation where your phone might get wet or dropped, there's no point in comparing them.

Until froyo(kernel) is released by motorola, we can "only" have a CM5 port for the defy.
It would be great trying froyo kernel without any modules and having them replaced by DEFY ones... Doing that we would know if motorola uses the same key for all the androids

New to P920. Any advice?

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.

New-ish Skyrocket owner Saying Hi

Since i hadnt already,i wanted to post and say hi to all the I727 owners here.Had phone for two months about,now.Great thread to have thanks for having me.Im going to try to use the search function as much as i can now.There are so many posts here,i cant beleive it..Pretty much every question that can be asked is here..
About me. Im a computer guy,just starting to get into mobile devices.
Rooted my first Android only about a year and a half ago using easy methods.
Now have a Skyrocket and of course i love it.A member here helped me flash ics,but for a couple reasons (mainly noob reasons) i flashed back to 2.3.5
Just experimenting with cwm for the first time.Made a recovery.
All i have is stock 2.3.5 rooted with SPB 3d which im sure to alot of you guys here is lame, but i really think its awesome and my fiance loves it..
If i were to ask for help,i guess i would ask what the most efficient way to take what i have backed up, with spb and 2.3.5 and upgrade to 2.3.6 unless its not really worth it..Ive heard there are many differences between .5 and .6 tho...
Or just directions to the 2.3.6 update thread Im really confused by what all the stuff means..Im still reading some begginners stuff a guy sent me.
Anyways,thank you for having me

Welcome! We're glad to have you.

I believe this is one of the last few links we have for 2.3.6 in a stock form that is cwm flash able. I am sure there is another link somewhere but it is buried under two and a half months of roms in the dev section. Besides its your phone. Put whatever apps or launchers you want on it.

Here is link to the 2.3.6 rom. First link does not work but I believe the mirrored link does. The modem zip is also below so you can flash that to.
