So i will see if I want to update that orelse provide the link rather and regarding unzipping it already has been mention to extract the file to sd card

This guide is wonderful, I was just about to post on another thread http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=844483 how they should try an clean it up a lil, it is quite a mess over there. My P509 should be here on 4/20/11, cant wait to get started since I already know it is coming preloaded with 2.2.1(1st time Android user coming from 5 year stint with WinMo). Ive been researching the P509 for about 2 months(4-8 hours a night) here on the Android side of XDA, and it has been a journey, anyway your guide will definately help the average noob, in my case I really appreciate the lessons I got from browsing through the different threads and forums associated with this phone. All in all best guide Ive seen so far really sums it up.
[Optimus One, P500, V General] blueren:
Neat guide. I'd suggest one tiny thing. Its not really mandatory to install the adb. Mentioning that as an optional would keep things clear :)
[Optimus One, P500, V General] shhbz:
no if u use the pc to install recovery u need it.its mandatory in that case and it even helps a lot in later times to work on a lot of stuff.

well u have option to use terminal emulator too but its to the ppl prefrence

I really would like to believe the above mentioned statement and that you missed my thread [HOWTO] Rooting, Installing - Android SDK, Custom Recovery, Custom ROM's dealing with the same topics except for the fact that we exchanged multiple PM's during your attempt at following the instructions given in my post.

This post feels like an abridged and in certain respects incomplete version of my above mentioned post in most places except for the a2sd part which I chose not to include as certain ROM's include a2sd by default.

Anyway, I appreciate your attempt to help out newbies.

Hey flashing d new rom, flashes new kernal also or it jst flashes a new rom ?

Sent from my LG-P500
[Optimus One, P500, V General] mihachris:
It depends on what the developer has included - a new kernel or stock kernel.

Usually custom ROMs come with a modified kernel because there are improvements compared to the stock one.
[Optimus One, P500, V General] shhbz:
just check the rom u r installing and it must be mention in changelog whether the devleoper has included the kernel or not but most of the time the kernel is included , if u are not satisfied with the kernel rather u can try diffrent kernels available over here in xda
[Optimus One, P500, V General] shhbz:
sorry to say mr charlie that u have edited a lot of stuff in your post LATER and have put the information correctly in order and describing it properly ,its true that your thread helped me which is this 1 http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=12006447&postcount=61 and the 1 u pointed out but as i said it was scattered and not properly arranged orelse i wouldnt have taken an initiative to write. no harsh feeling it was just my attempt to help others so no use promoting your thread let the newbies decide which they want to follow.

there was minor flaws in your thread which landed me in bricking my phone but but thanks to error for his guide .It was the ultimate saviour for me and for many might be.

i have just put in all information in order and removed unwanted writings.

This is a very useful guide for me who is very new to android. Its always important to have less complicated guide with updated methods every now and then for the newbies. Good work:).

A few questions though. How important is it to remove visual C++ from my PC? I can see many versions of it installed on it by default (I never installed it myself). I am afraid removing it might mess up other programs on my PC. Also isn't the default Gingerbread app2sd enough to run apps from the sd card? What additional features does Darktremor have?
[Optimus One, P500, V General] shhbz:
its not that important as i myself have it installed c++ 2005,2008 but somtimes it might block flashing that why its suggested to do so,as for a2sd many rom has is pre installed but some requires flashing a2sd as for fransisco tweaks it helps in sustaining battery so i am not so worried about it as mik cm7 for me seems to be stable but i am looking forward for ungaze contribution to xda http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1042828 as using this really makes our phone perform to next level just waiting for his updates..:)
[Optimus One, P500, V General] sweettaniyaa:
I am on windows 7 64bit. I have both 2008 and 2005 in both 64 and 32bit versions installed and updated with all the updates on my PC. What do you reckon I do?
[Optimus One, P500, V General] shhbz:
using the 32 bit mode is preferable just remove those as it wont hamper any performance on ur pc. it will get automaticallly updated from some software or games while installing so no worries on removing .

thats my recomandation juust follow the thread precisely and vrything would be fine let me know the result

Does the newly rooting method found mean I can skip the whole downgrading process and the uninstalling of visual c++. Curently I am on stock V10E since today. Do u think I should try this new rooting method?

Here is something off topic. I have noticed a bug in the stock rom with voice and call recording apps ( almost all except Andrecorder). After the recording starts and once the display is off after a lil while the phone shuts down. I wanted an app to record lectures. But only Andrecorder seems to be working. Don't know if this new rom has this bug but does CM7 has it? If it does, please report it to fix it. Also its frustrating not to have an enter button on the Android keyboard. Hope there will be fix for that too.

[Optimus One, P500, V General] sweettaniyaa:
I don't get it. Is it temporary only to our device? Cause I read somewhere that its a permanent root at least until the next update. What good is it if it stays only till a reboot? Cause u have to reboot after the root is applied. Cant I use this root at least to remove the apps that came with the phone?
[Optimus One, P500, V General] shhbz:
i am not sure about it as i havent tested it yet just try it yourself there is no harm in tyring as u still skip a lot of steps saving ur time and energy.

just give it a try and let me know if its a permanent root or temporary ,and as far as recoding is concerned it works fine for me in cm7 and try smart keyboard pro it just too good
[Optimus One, P500, V General] sweettaniyaa:
This was a really useful thread and help me understand a lot of things. But there is so much of catching up to be done about various ROM, MODS, tweaks, roots, etc. If there was wiki (just like the "read first" sticky) explaining in bit detail about what they are and how they are different from each other, together at one place that would be very helpful for newbies like me. Comparing them in computer terms like Bios, OS, etc. will really help a lot. So can someone who has been really up-to-date about everything that's been happening here, help us out?

Please advise as I don't want to run into problems later !

You don't need to flash a custom rom to flash a kernel. Yes you can flash that kernel, just make sure it is the CFS version and make sure to take a nand before flashing it.

Help with Clockworkmod

This is where I am having problems. I was trying to flash openOptimus build 1.172.1 yesterday. I followed these instructions and looked over ciaox instructions and they were nearly identical.

Prior to yesterday I have RevOidOptT build with francos kernal 2.6.32.41.

I followed the instructions and booted into ClockworkMod Recovery. When I went to "select zip from SD card" nothing was there because I had wiped everything per the instruction. That makes sense to me since I had to "wipe data/factory reset". What am I doing wrong so I can flash over openOptimus??

You can't use data with a phone SIM card without possibly doing something illegal that I wont go into in this thread. Basically, the network realizes you have a phone data plan and that you are not on a device approved for that phone plan.
