Rooting Android 2.2.1

After some searching I found out that it's apparently impossible to root an Android device with Android 2.2.1.
Now I'm in desperate need to install milk's touchscreen lag fix, so I need to root.
So I ask,
Is there a method to root 2.2.1? If not, how does one downgrade to 2.2 and would it cause any problems?
DEVICE: LG P500 (Optimus one)

I think we might be out of luck
My gf has the same phone (also on Koodo) and so far I haven't succeeded in rooting it. Gingerbreak hangs, superoneclick hangs at step 6 like I've seen for many other people, and Z4Root didn't work either.
I've seen some pleople claim that gingerbreak worked on their C555 but it hasn't for me on my many attempts.
It succeeded on the first try for my Optimus One but that was running 2.2.1.

Finally could root the LG-C555 "LG optimus chat"
I finally could root the LG-C555 (LG optimus chat) from koodo (Canada).
I used the superoneclick v2.3.3 and tried frst the zergrush method ... which failed,
then (without rebooting) the psneuter method which failed too.
Finally tried the Auto method ... and success !!!
Now, I have to find a way to install cyanogenmod
firmware LGC555
Found this damn original firmware link to use with KDZ.
EDIT: Cannot post url as a new member, what you need to know is:
swdata/WEBSW/LGC555/AKDOAQ/V10d_00/V10D_00.kdz
I can finally start experimenting with the LGC555.
If anyone else has already done something, I strongly encourage them to share.
Hi there, where you able of installing another firmware into your LG-C555? If so, I surely would like to know how you did it!!
Here's some info you might be interested reading:
The LG Updater tool detects my phone properly and tells me that I'm running the latest (V10D) firmware for this LG-C555 phone. I need to reinstall this version V10D of the firmware or even a previous one but I'm unable because I can't choose ANY firmware, I can't "upgrade", it tells me that everything is OK with the phone but it is not and that's why I want to "upgrade/change" the firmware of this phone
Is there a way I could "break" the internal firmware hoping that the LG Updater would then allow me to install the latest one (V10D) on it?
For your information, my LG-C555 is network unlocked & rooted and currently runs Android 2.2.
Since I need to change the internal firmware I went ahead and tried Gingerbreak (version 1.0, 1.1 and 1.2) but none of them seems to work.
I was able of pushing gingerbreak.apk (version 0, 1 and 2) to the /data/app folder with the USB debugging mode ON and I also have inserted a formated/mounted SD card in the phone. Then I installed the .apk normally, the installation started but never ended, it stayed in an infinite loop (more than 1 hour)... I had to reboot for those 3 attemps
What can I do next if I only want to "change" the internal firmware of this phone?
Thank you for your time,
highmighty
SuperOneClick works for LG-C555
I Just ran SuperOneClick using the Auto option and it worked perfectly. Exact same specs as you (phone is from Koodo Canada as well)

Build Number: FRG83
Software Version: LG-C555-V10d
i didnt have any problems rooting the LG-C555 with superoneclick not a hitch
I know it's an old thread... anyhow I managed to root my Telus Optimus Chat with the SuperOneClick 2.3.3 but then I cannot find a way to backup my stock rom and find any custom rom that this compatible with this POS phone! Everything seem to be only for expensive phones.. please help?
Does anyone have the KDZ or link for this phone?

TMobile MyTouch 4G (LG-E739) Rooting

Anyone know if a new root has been developed for the mytouch LG-E739? Phone got updated to...
Android Ver 2.3.6
Kernel 2.6.35.7-perf
Build GRK39F
Software Ver. V10r-Mar-13-2012
Update killed everything on my phone. So if you have root dont install it if you want to keep it. Any help or new root method would be greatly appreciated!
re rooting lg e739
What did you use to root it initially? What have you tried to reroot it? I'm not a developer but I do own a lg e739. I was worried the update would potentially stop us from rooting and think if you tell me a little bit we can find a way to get past it.

Install LG USB Drivers
Download SuperOneClick 2.2.3 (google for it)
Run SuperOneCLick with the Auto mode selected
That worked for me. I'm still hunting for a custom ROM, though...
