EDIT: It is good practice to do a NAND backup between steps 1 and 2.03-13-2011 03:41 PMLike 0 - None of the LG updates (nor the OTA updates) so far will touch your /data partition.
You backup not because LG will wipe your info, it doesn't. You backup in case something goes wrong, which is always potentially a possibility.03-13-2011 05:20 PMLike 0 - Requirements:

If so, all you have to do is power off your phone, then press volume down, home, and power very hard at the same time until your custom recovery comes up, which may take a few seconds so be patient, just keep pressing. Then unzip TR 1.8. Power off your phone once that is done and then when it comes back up you will have TR 1.8 and root back.omarnova likes this.03-19-2011 09:00 AMLike 1
