Hey guys, i dont know if i posted in the right place but here it goes......
Ok so i jus got the lg optimus black p970 and first thing was first to upgrade as told by t-mobile i could upgrade to 2.3.....
Ok so i use the lg updating software on pc and it says i was being updated from 1.6 -2.1 although in (about phone) it says 2.2.2 bfore and after the s/w upgrade :s
So to cut it short i want to upgrade to 2.3 and i hear i need custom rom and root (only ever used super one click for galaxy tab) meaning lack of exp rooting lg....
will the gingerbreak root work for the lg thats not on 2.3 and is there a solid walkthrough about that you guys can link me too so i can fully understand what i am doing......what i have found doesnt explain much and i dare not risk it....
Thanks in advance

thanks man
If you want to root your LG P970 than u should use gingerbreak. There is a really nice topic made by Noejn explaining how to do it in the android development section of Black forum. There are no custom rom's yet but I think that they will appear in a short period.

Gingerbread update still hasn't been released by LG for the Optimus Black. What the T-mobile rep might have meant is that the LG Optimus Black is upgradeable to 2.3, which it is. It's just that the Android 2.3 update still isn't available yet for the OB.
Once custom ROMs are made based on AOSP 2.3 or CyanogenMod, then you can have Gingerbread for your OB.
LG might be releasing the official Gingerbread update on September based on this thread: http://android.modaco.com/content/lg-optimus-black-black-modaco-com/342281/2-3-gigerbread-official-release/

Are there any roms for the LG optimus gt540 please that bring either eclair or froyo to it. Many thanks
i would love a HTC sense rom for this device
I would love a 2.1 or 2.2 rom at all....
Anyone? I know 2.1 is coming from LG but 2.2 would be nice(r).
yeah any roms for lg gt540?
Android 2.1 for GT540 is out. Proof.
I want a 2.2 rom for the GT540
i hope Lg can release froyo for gt540
Plenty 2.1 ROMs out, all official from LG
Sadly it seems like I'm not allowed to post links on here so until a mod fixes that small problem, I can't help, but you can find all the info over at Modaco's Android forums.
Yeah I have the Baltic 2.1 version on my GT540, works like a dream.
Would love a Froyo 2.2 version though!

Yea I have that same ROM. It hasnt caused any problems for me what so ever. I love 2.1!!! There might be a way to get 2.2 but its a shot in the dark. If The LG Chic is identical under the hood to the GT540 then it just could be possible. All we need is for someone to get the LG Chic ROM and flash it into the GT540 and see what happens
Eclair Is Arrive

ROM 2.1 for France (v20a):
csmg.lgmobile.com:9002/swdata/WEBSW/GT540/ABYTBK/V20a_00/V20A_00.kdz
Im living in Egypt and ive just eclaired my rom by the official LG update with no KDZ UPDATER used.. this rom is amazing indeed but im having trouble reading arabic cz im using the baltic rom .. characters appear but not linked together.. if i can get to any developer to start working on this it wud be amazing .. and YES the CHIC is getting FROYO and it has the same specs we do , so i guess our genius developers will be able to cook us a rom if we dont get it officially .

Maybe there is a way to port 2.2 from another device.

I did that.. and it doesn't work. Says I'm on the latest firmware. But I'm on 2.2.2 I've been trying to update for over a week now with no success.
Have you changed the baseband?
No. How do I do that?
Come on stop blurring his mind...
If lg update tool doesn't upgrade you're phone, there must be a reason.. And baseband shouldn't be changed as it is one of the things lg tool looks at to search if upgrade is necessary.
But the best way to upgrade is to root your phone, instal clockwork mod recovery, then finally the ROM you want, even Ics 4.0.3 is available...
Just look and read threads in stickies to have info, and a guy recently made a thread in general section I think to explain how to do that.
The best deep way to learn is to search and experiment..
How i insutall a gb 2.3.4 on the lg , i have now 2.2.2.

I bet you can search it by your own, since there are TONS of guides around here.
And besides, I wouldnt explain it here any better than the guide does.

Go to the LG website and download B2C and update your phone with the official software from LG.
FDN
didn't you get a manual with your phone?
just use LG's own software to update to GB.
or.. if you want custom roms, just search here on xda. there are lots of good how to's to help you.
I think he is not a gadget freak..so the best solution is to bring the OB to LG service center. Don't worry about paying anything..
I'm a newbie with lg android, I got a good deal for an unlocked LG thrill so I bought it and now I find out LG won't be supporting Thril with future updates. So I need to flash the KDZ from P920 to P925. I have gone through the forum, still I'm unable to do So. The actual problem is I'm unable to flash the kdz file v21e with the methods told in this site. At the last part the LG software updater creeps up teiing me that I have the Latest Software and Need Not Update.
Please, I need Step by step instruction as I cannot make out what I did wrong.

All the roms that use v21e have worked on my thrill with the v20p baseband from the at&t gingerbread update. Just root and add clockworkmod
