Proud owner of a LG P500 Optimus One since 2 days, great device, please open a section for it! It deserves that!

I'm seeking a rom dump from the P500 to aid in porting froyo to the LG VS740. I'll also try to make a custom recovery for you as I have done ones for the lg ally and htc incredible as a thank you for dumping the files.
It should be able to be rooted with universal androot or else use the rageagainstthecage-arm5.bin method.
Once rooted from adb shell or terminal app type:
Code:
su
cat proc/mtd
note the mtd partition # of boot & recovery.
then in the dd parts use the mtd number of your boot and recovery partitons
for example if boot is mtd3 on P500 do dd if=/dev/mtd/mtd3 of=/sdcard/boot-dump.img bs=4096
then type
Code:
cd /system
tar zcvf /sdcard/system-dump.tar.gz *
dd if=/dev/mtd/mtd1 of=/sdcard/boot-dump.img bs=4096
dd if=/dev/mtd/mtd0 of=/sdcard/recovery-dump.img bs=4096
Please someone upload these 3 files from p500:
system-dump.tar.gz
boot-dump.img
recovery-dump.img
Thanks again.
Also, in case anyone is worried there is no personal user data in /system thats all in the /data partition.

I agree we need a Optimus One P500 forum.
IMHO it's one of the most interesting middle class Android phones: better screen resolution than HTC Wildfire or Samsung Galaxy 3. An alternative to HTC Aria/Gratia

I have rooted my P500 and i have found this :
cat proc/mtd
dev: size erasesize name
mtd0: 00440000 00020000 "boot"
mtd1: 0be00000 00020000 "system"
mtd2: 00500000 00020000 "recovery"
mtd3: 002c0000 00020000 "lgdrm"
mtd4: 00100000 00020000 "splash"
mtd5: 00180000 00020000 "FOTABIN"
mtd6: 005c0000 00020000 "FOTA"
mtd7: 00040000 00020000 "misc"
mtd8: 04000000 00020000 "cache"
mtd9: 0c780000 00020000 "userdata"
but when i tried to TAR files the system told me
tar: not found
I have WIN XP Pro and maybe TAR is for linux or i'm wrong in something ...
if you could help me we can make it.
bye and sorry for my english.

Get busybox for phone and do it on phone with terminal eumulator. Optionally do adb pull of your entire system folder and zip it up if all else fails. Need boot and recovery too.

I'd like a section for Optimus One ...
Have someone installed Flash Lite for default browser?

Ok I just downloaded a dump thanks fughy. I am looking at pics and don't see a navigational pad. Can someone confirm it has one or it not & what it uses other than touch screen for navigation as thats needed for recovery. Please list all hardware buttons/keys also please.
I have a custom amon ra recovery that needs to be tested. Please PM if interested. Md5 is below to check against after download.

The P500 has no touchpad or something else for navigation. The only keys are:
- Power button on top
- Volume Up/Down on right side
- Menu, Home, Back, Search on front
I would love to create my own custom rom for this device but I'm quite new to this. Is there somewhere a good tutorial on how to create a custom rom based on an original rom?

This LG Optimus is the number ONE

As promised here is a beta amon ra style recovery for opt1 thunderg.
Its untested as I don't have one to test it on.
Key mapping is up/down = vol-up and vol-down
select = power
backup = search
If the keys aren't right use the key code debugger under "other" menu and give me the key code outputs.
Fastboot IF enabled on optimus one can be accessed by "adb reboot bootloader".
The best way to test this if you have fastboot is to do
Code:
fastboot boot recovery-thunderg_test1.img
if done this way it will boot from ram and will be lost upon reboot. IE. its temporary if it needs some changes instead of actually flashing it.
If you need help setting up fastboot/adb drivers reference my post here for the Lg Ally
http://androidforums.com/ally-all-things-root/146564-ally-recovery-img-here-custom-roms.html
It should either be 618e or 618f for adb.
If you don't have fastboot on device this will flash it:
Do this from a su (root) adb shell (preferred) or terminal on phone after you have copied recovery-thunderg_test1.img & flash_image to root of your sdcard. Flash_image is attached to the post linked above.
Code:
mount -o remount,rw -t yaffs2 /dev/block/mtdblock1 /system
cat /sdcard/flash_image > /system/bin/flash_image
chmod 755 /system/bin/flash_image
mount -o remount,ro -t yaffs2 /dev/block/mtdblock1 /system
flash_image recovery /sdcard/recovery-thunderg_test1.img
Also if you have a file named install-recovery.sh in system/etc you will need to rename it to install-recovery.sh.bak prior to flashing a recovery.
