So i have yet to root my phone, I have had it for around a month. I am a bit on the skittish side, with the whole "Voiding your warranty" and "possible phone bricking" part. I definitely want to root though, but I have a few questions first. First, how should I root? Should I use the method that is "stickied" to the to top of the Optimus V Rooting, ROMs, and Hacks part of the forum? Or should I use the one step methods such as Gingerbreak or Gingersnap?
Then, once I do root, I would like to put the AOSP CM7 custom rom on my phone. When I do this, will I need to install ROM Manager from the market, or can I put it on my phone manually, as is stated here? If I do have to install ROM Manager, will I be able to use the free version, or will I have to shell out the 5 bucks to buy the full version?
I hope some of my questions can be answered, as I really want to root! Also, If anyone has any pointers for the rooting and installing ROMs, that would be great as well! Thanks a bunch!
