Firmware Update on the Phenoix released

[lowdrewl]

I have not rooted my device. Probably won't do so until after the official Gingerbread rollout.

Good plan, I rooted mine at 2.2.1 and now I am stuck on how to upgrade to 2.2.2 Its running really nice so I dont want to risk bricking it trying to get to 2.2.2. Thanks for the quick reply

Rooted phone (thrive @ 2.2.1) using information here, only to find out 2.2.2 is now out? Nice!.....LOL

Oh well. I dont think it will be that easy but if someone can post the update.zip file, how will that help? Im guessing if your rooted and use that update.zip your phone will be bricked! or perhaps I am new and just confused.

Is unrooting really as simple as deleting a couple of files as Dinlaca stated? I used used superoneclick 1.7 to root my thrive. I would like remove root, update to 2.2.2 and then re-root with gingerbreak if possible. Any help greatly appreciated

can u give me backup rom

easy I an do it for you but could you pull the stock rom backup from clockwork mod recovery if you don't have it download rom manager and choose LG optimus one for recovery image boot into and then backup rom then pm me with it or post I really need it to boot up my phone and to unroot download gingerbreak them choose unroot

Did you ever get anyone to upload it for you? I am looking for the same. I have a Phoenix and it seems that none of the Optimus One ROMs work on it. I also tried the Thrive ROM and it sort of works but the display only shows blueish colors.

Re sideloading with 2.2.2. read the following which is posted somewhere around here. It indicates that the upgrade makes it easy to make the changes necessary to sideload.

Woops!! this is for rooting, not sideloading!

FYI guys,

I have a rooted LG Thrive and I was able to update to 2.2.2 over wifi without any problems. After the update the phone is still rooted and you have to option to turn on non approve apps same as using the special dialer code. Not sure that 2.2.2 is really necessary to upgrade if you have already enabled non market apps with the dialer code.

Hope this helps

can u give me backup rom

you still need the 2.2.1 rom? i can send u 2.2.1 rooted. i will backup with clockwork mod like u stated.

N2 thank you so much for your information, I am gonna try this on my GFs phone. LG Thrive 2.2.1 rooted. I thought I read some where u cant upgrade ROM over wifi?

 

[n2alltheworld]

You're welcome. It worked for me, hope it works for you! =)

 

[lowdrewl]

You're welcome. It worked for me, hope it works for you! =)

It didnt work for me over wireless, the thrive running 2.2.1 over wireless say there are no new updates and tell me to wait 24 hrs before trying again.

i fixed but thanks turns out kernels are different between the two btw there is a thread on xda called LG thrive source that has a stock deoxed rooted rom for the thrive not Phoenix.

I need that backup if you're still willing to be so kind as to upload the zip. Trying to fix a friend's phone and it would make things much easier

If you want to get rid of the AT&T junk your going to have to root. From there you can chose to just freeze the AT&T bloatware or completely get rid of it. There are guides on how to do this and what is safe to get rid of, search around.

 

[thesnowsnake]

Hey Donavan what do you use to root a freash Phoenix ginger root just keeps working I have rogers on it

 

[donavan]

I don't have an R so I can't speak to that. I used Gingerbreak to root mine and it worked beautifully, but mine is an AT&T phone.
