Install z4root. It's pretty straight forward.

You can also use SuperOneClick.

Here is a guide for doing everything from rooting through to custom ROM with lots of explanation.

you can also use ginger break. for custom rom you can use cm7.

thanks for all, but neither one for me worked. can you tell me why?

and if it works what should I press during restart to get the root menu.

thanks
[Optimus One, P500, V General] stepu:
Thats impossible , with z4root it easy like pressing once on your screen.

If you have 2.2.2 you need Ginger Break not z4root.

Ofcourse its possible!

What's the software version on your phone? If its V10C/D/E then you may not be able to use Z4Root, SuperOne Click or even Ginger Break. You need to download the V10b software for your phone and then use the KDZ flasher to downgrade. Then you will be able to use any of the above rooting software.

Check out http://lgoptimusonep500.blogspot.com/ this guy has some good info and links on how to download the software, links for the KDZ flasher and instructions on how you go about it.

And you will have to go the the LG website and download the drivers for your phone. Install the drivers first, reboot your computer, disable your anti-virus, connect your phone. If will then install all the drivers. Next you start the KDZ flasher in compatibility mode (Windows XP SP2) and run with administrator privileges.

During the flashing process, you have to be patient and don't disconnect your phone and play with your pc. It is a delicate process and should be done carefully.
[Optimus One, P500, V General] machhho:
It's V10C software version

After faffing around forever with x4root on 2.2.3 I used Gingerbread and it worked first time.

You need ;

GingerBreak

and then

Titanium Backup ( from the marketplace)

HOWEVER

My advice is unless you are a propeller-head ( I am absolutely not ) and know your stuff backwards DO NOT ROOT YOUR PHONE.

I did it for the simple reason I HATE Facebook and Twitter and did not even want to see the logos and this was the only way to remove them apparently . I googled, watched a few videos on rooting and away i went. Stupid in hinsight.

I rooted my phone, removed them and a few others and then when the unit just suddenly froze up on me and would not hard reset etc. Simply kept getting error messages. Luckily LG here in Cambodia re-flashed the software.

I have now removed anything to do with that process and have a nice, clean, safe android that does not hang or freeze etc. ALBEIT WITH THoSE **** FB and TWIT ICONS !!

Rooting - JUST DON'T DO IT
[Optimus One, P500, V General] karthik1der:
So your problem was due to you uninstalling important apps excluding facebook and twitter...not directly because of rooting. :)
[Optimus One, P500, V General] jgarnett:
Well...yes...my problem had nothing to do with deleting FB and TWATTER :rolleyes: and everything to do with deleting important apps :)

I liken it to having just learnt how to drive a car ( getting your first Android )

You cruise around a bit and enjoy it.

You start to use the gas pedal and that's kind of fun ( installing apps )

Then.....

Your new petrol-head mates tell you that using the turbo ( rooting your phone )

is the MOST fun you can have in one day

Then....

You hit the turbo

and

because you are an inexperienced driver and cannot handle the power you fishtail out of control and slam into the wall :eek:

Car then needs repairing. :cool:

2.) Put it in the nook and boot into CWR

3.) Take the card out, format it back to fat32

4.) Put the Phiremod 6.3 SD flashable rom.zip on it.

Well, I just booted my NC to CWR from SD, then removed the SD and was able to read a second card without any error from CWR.

So I suppose that would work in theory, the only difference would be you are doing it on one single card and not two. Though I don't know how safe it would be.

Hi,

Did you make it a bootable USB stick ? Try with this: http://unetbootin.sourceforge.net/. "burn" the image don't just copy it.

Also be careful with your USB device size. I've tried making a 16 Gb stick bootable and it didn't boot. It worked perfectly with a 2 Gb USB stick.

When you computer boots press F2 or F10 (whichever is your boot sequence selector) and select boot from USB.

Good luck !

hey epic users! i have a question not completely about my epic 4g but related. In a month or so i will be in the market for a new laptop. so my questions is should i go windows or mac? im asking in this forum because i love modding/theaming/flashing and so on to my epic. i spend a lot of time on these forums and on my epic as im sure mostly everyone here does.

so i figured a lot of people in this forum are tech savvy and would be able to give good informative opinions and insight to which way i should go.

i would use my laptop for all media purposes. music/movies and of course my epic 4g.

so any feed back about what others prefer, windows or mac, and why would be awesome and would definitely help me make an educated decision on which computer to buy.

thank you very much.
[Epic 4G General] Shoulon:
the same applies to the Android vs Iphone idea.

Most, well 97% of us that are on here for our android phones use systems that are either windows or linux.

You'll have a easier time with a windows if your reaaally into your Epic. I own a Macbook Pro (1yr old) and I love my windows better since, you can do more =)
[Epic 4G General] || Acer ||:
What he said. If you're that interested into your phone, a PC makes things MUCH easier. But, having a Macbook Pro, you do experience better speed on your computer and don't have to get any virus protection lol. Macs also don't require drivers, which is nice.

Basically, if you're already rooted and know what you're doing, get a Mac. Because after you root, you can pretty much do everything on a PC on the Mac. The only thing you can't do is use Odin, so if you're phone gets bricked, you'll have to rely on a friend's PC.

It's your choice though. I'd go to Best Buy or something and test out both computers; see which one you like more.
[Epic 4G General] k0nane:
Macs: Aluminum case, fairly thin, good battery life, OS X, pretty.

Non-Macs: Many equally well-built, many thing, many with good battery life, Hackintosh, looks are subjective. Often literally less than a third of the price of comparable Macs.

If you want a high-end Macbook Pro, you will pay $3,000. A comparable Windows notebook will run you $1,000. Really.

Also, Macs do require drivers - what they do support is often built-in, but by no means always - and they are no faster than Windows machines. If your malware protection uses has that bad of a resource drain... you need different protection! Windows Firewall + NOD32 = win. And keep in mind Macs still don't properly support TRIM, so forget lasting performance on an SSD.
[Epic 4G General] gTen:
I wouldn't exactly put it at 3x the price but macbooks definitely cost 2x the price of a pc for the same hardware..

I will tell you this, don't buy HP, if you buy a Dell make sure to get 2 years inhome warranty minimum...their inhome warranty works really well..they come and fix it next day..

If you are looking for good quality hardware..ASUS is the best..followed by probably Toshiba...

To note, ASUS netbooks are sub par but their laptops are top of the line in terms of quality...

IF your looking for media purposes though you may want to get one of the new laptops that will come out this month with the AMD LLANO APU..its effectivly a CPU with a merged GPU thus gives better battery life, less heat and slimmer designs.

vs.

http://www.shopping.hp.com/webapp/s..._r329_hhos_5685&aoid=35252&email=BacktoSchool

2.273x the price. You gain some screen resolution, .2ghz (who cares), battery life (moot point, swappable on the HP), and OS X (Hackintosh, $30 or free) with the Mac. There are regularly coupon codes on the HP and similar that bring it down to $899 or less - and note the HP has 2gb more RAM, a larger/faster HDD, and a video card that isn't **** on a plate.

With coupon, that's 2.77x. Apple tax?

[Epic 4G General] k0nane:
Hope you didn't pay that, you got ripped.
[Epic 4G General] gTen:
Thats not a fair comparison though,..if I add the .2ghz option on the hp it adds 150$ to the price..the comparison is for same hardware..

Also macbook has a:

Intel GMA 3000 + AMD Radeon HD 6750M with 1GB GDDR5

So total is 1,274.99 for the HP to match the specs.. and apple is $2,499.00..which is half price..then usually you can get a 150$ off in coupons...

I dont see whether the ram is 1333mhz on the HP model but yes you get 2gb more..HD seems the same to me though...

By average though I'd still say its more like 2x more...either way must we really argue whether or not when Apple rips you off and takes all your cloth whether they steal your underwear too or not...they are overpriced either way >.> lol

PS..NEVER BUY LAPTOPS FROM BEST BUY.. whenever something is on "Sale" they raise the price rather then lower it >.>
[Epic 4G General] gTen:
The laptop that I got was this:

8gb 1333mhz ram

500gb hard drive 7200rpm

dvd rw +/-

ATI 5870 GPU

a/b/g/n + bluetooth

2 year warranty

$1250..and this was a year ago in feb 2010 >.> lol..it was an unbeatable price..heck 1 year later the laptop is still worth its value..

(at the time these ram chips cost 500$ by themselves..it was suppose to be 1066mhz but they gave some pple 1333mhz due to lack of 1066mhz supply)

Only laptop that matched my specs back then was the Alienware which cost 2800$
[Epic 4G General] k0nane:
Minus some RAM, the MSI GX740 matched you (except screen res 1680x1050). Bit more expensive at $1,400 or so. I got it free because MSI blew my GT725 to **** when I sent it in for a DC jack warranty repair. Packing the same specs, except I've got a Blu-Ray/DVD+-RW combo drive held over from my GT725, and I've now got a 256gb Vertex 2 SSD in there, with an optical bay hard drive caddy for the HD.
[Epic 4G General] gTen:
I was actually also looking at the time I was also looking at the MSI GX740 but it wasn't out yet..that said I kinda was iffy about MSI cause I bought their first laptop and it burned out pretty badly (yeah I know my fault I shouldnt have bought a companies first)...couldn't resist due to the specs were really good for the time :/ (Your lucky..MSI screwed me badly on the warranty..they took 2 month to repair it and when they sent it back it was still damaged and they didnt wanna take it back cause it was already out of warranty WTF >.>)

Your ram is 1066mhz or 1333mhz?

The option to upgrade to bluray was around 50$ more but I didnt care for bluray at the time..there was also an option for a 2nd 500mb hd (The pc has dual bays).but I figured Id save the 2nd bay for an SSD..though after I bought the laptop it ran everything so fast I never actually bought the SSD lol >.>

I really lucked out cause I saw it at the cheapest price when it was on sale on newegg..every hour they raised the price by $100..it stopped at 1700$ and went out of stock for like a month..
[Epic 4G General] k0nane:
I believe it's 1066, I'd have to look again. As far as warranty goes, yeah, they do that. They really tried to screw me, but I just wasn't having it. I escalated as far up their chain of command as far as I could go, and put the BBB on the case. I made it exceedingly clear that I wanted a brand new replacement, and... I'm typing on it right now. I need to send it in for some work, pretty much just cosmetic at this point (stress cracks in the plastic around the hinges; the hinges themselves are still nice and tight).

I got a buddy at Apple that's gonna hook me up with a little discount which is cool. I'm surprised at the lack of Apple bashing so far. I'm not a fanboy at all and own a low end desktop PC and a 10" netbook as well. I really like Mac products due to the more seamless workflows you can get away with vs their PC counterparts.

If I were you, I would find the most reliable Apple alternative w/ identical or better specs to whatever you're looking at in the Apple realm, compare prices and buy whichever costs less. You can get OSX on most high end laptops regardless of manufacturer. If you don't care about OS X, buy a PC.

LOL, no nobody will install OSX on a PC for you. Ubuntu MAYBE, big maybe, but more than likely you'll have to read some forum guides to get them all installed.

I bought mine from a company called Eurocom in Canada ONLY because they were the only company that sold the Clevos with an HDMI input option. It doesn't do 1080p, but 1080i, 720p, etc all works just fine (its a bandwidth limitation on the pci-express bus).

That being said, I'd check out AVAdirect which is basically direct from Clevo themselves, or Xotic PC (there they call them 'Sager' but again, just a rebranded Clevo). GREAT machines, but if you plan on the x7200 your chiropractor will thank you :)
