Post #4<-- Patches by devs
So Let's Get Started!
Firstly, you are reminded, NOT TO ASK ETAs
Q. How do i root my Optimus One/Optimus V?
A. Is been everywhere now... So now i show u where is the links...
If ur phone is running on 2.2.1 or 2.2.2, follow this guide below:
SuperOneClick v2.1.1
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=803682
1. Download the zip
2. Extract it to the root directory like:
C:/User/User/Desktop/SuperOneClick
3.Turn on ur USB Debugging at Settings > Application > Development
4. Plug your phone into the PC
5. Press ROOT
6. Drink something or Fanta
7. Done, next go to Post 2 for How to flash ROM and permissions...
2.3.3 Rooting Guide here... Thanks to duvrak0
Firstly, download this zip from here and extract it to your desktop
And download driver pack from here
0. Backup ur SMS/Contacts and everthing with MyBackup Pro
1. Hard reset your phone either with system->privacy->erase all data or turning your phone off, and holding HOME + VOLUME DOWN + POWER BUTTON.
2. After phone boots up, you have clean file system, then go to Applications, and turn on USB debugging mode.
1. Connect your phone with usb cables, make sure you have installed all the drivers needed, and connect phone in DEBUGGING Mode (provided a bit upper on this post)
2. In the extracted folder called root on your desktop, go to ADB folder and start cmd7.exe if u run win7 or cmdXP.exe (run as administrator in both options) if ur pc runs win XP. (your address bar should like something like this:
C:\Documents and Settings\YOUR NAME HERE\Desktop\root\ADB
3. After starting cmd7 (for Windows 7 or Windows Developers Preview) or cmdXP (Windows XP), type following commands
Code:
adb devices
then
Code:
adb shell
(symbol will change to $ or #) and copy paste following command into your terminal
Code:
echo 1 > /data/local/lge_adb.conf
4. After doing this, Reboot... Or do this command on sdk:
Code:
adb reboot recovery
5. After reboot, go to root folder on desktop again, and start SuperOneClick.exe
6. Select GingerBreak method and press root button
7. After BOOM!!!, if not working, restart from Step 1... You have rooted Optimus One.
8. Reboot again and update superuser app from market (version must be 3.0.6 and binary must be 3.0.0)
Now for Optimus V (Cant tell much as i dunt have a Optimus V, sorry guys, girls!)
Go to this link: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1197991
Installing Recoveries, ROMs and fixing permissions

Cool!
Superuser binaries have been updated to 3.0.3 now.
Dax, you are too kind.
I think anyone wanting to root/recovery/flash should do their time reading, and then read some more.... THEN and only THEN should be allowed to ask intelligent questions based on the research they have done.
In the end I think you are only allowing newbs to be lazy with your UCG.
We have stickies for this very reason, but no one reads them it seems.
And no one seems to watch this either, http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_embedded&v=JmvCpR45LKA

Well said and pretty much true.
There is another thread like this by victortangocharlie where hes exlplained multiple methods for installing recoveries.
But stickysours thread is huge. and too many questions, so a compact thread is always better implemented.
P.S - IMO !

First some infos about rooting. For rooting you only need a superuser app and its binary. In most of the time it is SuperSU. Here is a introfuction for I8160 witch works perfect. It should also work on I8160P because for rooting you only need the superuser.
Download the file here: rooting File
How to :
1. Download the zip and place it on your SD Card.
PS : SD Card is a must.
2. Reboot to the stock recovery.
3. Select install update from external storage.
4. Select the root.zip file.
5. Voila
Enjoy your rooted JB.

Hi Babai,
My A116 is rooted and is now running TWRP 2.5 and JellysmartV1.2.
To install official stock rom 4.2.1, do I have to unroot my phone before I can follow your instructions on 'Tutorial on 4.2.1 Update via SP Tool and Rooting'.
Or can I directly go ahead with instruction as per the Tutorial?

If you want to root it again. Go for rooting process as described above.

For the benefit of newbies like me, kindly bear with these questions...
Ques 1:
As I understand, those interested in rooting the mobile should copy the downloaded recovery-cwm-6.0.3.0.img to the S9201_MP_F4_B1_IN_MMX_0.16_flasher_user > S9201_MP_F4_B1_IN_MMX_0.16_flasher_user folder and select this file in place of the original recovery.img present in the folder. Whether to rename the file or not is left to individual preference. Just ensure both .img files are not selected! Correct me if I'm wrong.
Ques 2:
During the above process, should we unselect all other files and select only the .img file?

For this you have to disable signature check(windows 8)PC Settings-> General -> Advanced Start up(restart)-> Troubleshoot (then you have get to disable unsigned drivers check - press 7 when u get there - windows restarts)
Then you connect phone without battery (open device manager b4 that) and when u see Preload Mediatek (something like ) when phone detected in device manager and right click n update driver and search local and select folder for download usb drivers and click install anyway....

Your instructions are really clear enough...:good:
It was only my unfamiliarity with the operation and mix up with an earlier procedure that I read, which led to the confusion.
I have successfully installed STOCK ROM 4.2.1 and rooted my phone, this time without pestering anyone with umpteen phone calls
However, I was stumped when Titanium Backup wanted me to enable 'USB debugging...'. I simply couldn't locate it under Setting. Thanks to http://www.ninjaromeo.com/enable-usb-debugging-developer-options-jelly-bean/ I managed it. (MODS: Please remove link if I'm breaking any forum rules by pasting an external link) For quick reference, I'm pasting the method below...
How to Enable USB Debugging and Developer Options on Android 4.2 Jelly Bean:
Go to – Settings > About phone.
Then move on to Build number option
Tap on Build number repeatedly about 7 times.
This is enough.
After touching 7th time you will see a message that, “you are now a developer”.
Now the option will be placed in Settings menu. Then you can enable it in Developer Options.
Option to 'Allow Installation of Apps from Unknown Sources' can be found under Settings> Security.
Hope this will help others who find themselves in similar predicament.

Click to expand...
Click to collapse
I'm not really sure about the diff between stock jb 4.2.1 and stock 4.1.2 but after I installed STOCK 4.2.1 as per instructions here, I noticed the foll:
1. My EXT SD is called SDCARD0 and the INTERNAL SD is called SDCARD1. Earlier it used to be named the other way round.
2. Under Settings>Storage, the Ext SD Card is selected as Default Write Disk
3. All Apps are getting installed to the Ext SD Card and the Internal SD Card is practically unused!
So you may not have to do any swapping after all

Intro:

First what is rooting?
Rooting is a process allowing users of Smartphone’s, tablets, and other devices running the Android operating system to attain privileged control (known as “root access”) within Android’s subsystem. Basically rooting is performed to overcome the limitation that wireless service providers and hardware manufacture of android phone put on some devices. If your android mobile is rooted that means you are the SUPER USER on your android cell phone and you get ability to customize or replace system applications. This little word rooting provide you power to run specialized apps that require administrator-level permissions and perform another operation which are inaccessible to a normal android.
I think this should be more than enough and you would have already spent your time on this!! Hope so
Now what is CWM recovery?
All of the Android devices consign with a recovery assuage that is a basic partition on the device's internal memory and also can be booted into it. The stock recovery of almost all of the Android devices provide a few basic yet useful options that allow us to factory reset our device, clearly it is cache partitioning, and bring back its operating system using an official ROM in zip format, but that is the only thing you can do with it. This is the reason where a custom recovery becomes handy.
A custom Android recovery initially replaces all the stock recovery with the one that lets you to do all that you can with the stock recovery, plus a overabundance of options that give us a lot more control on the device. With a custom recovery, you can install official and unofficial ROMs as well as other updates also including hacks, themes, kernels.Using zip files, wipe not just user data but every standard partition on our device, ascend the storage card for USB mass storage access without leaving recovery, partition your SD card, wipe dalvik cache and battery status, fix the permissions, perform, manage and restore backups, and so on.
This is where CWM recovery comes in our aid!!
There is also another very popular recovery named TWRP which many developers still recommend but still a major drawback is that many ROM developers still prefer CWM so i say go with CWM!

Welcome,
For your first question,
At this stage you will not be able to take the backup of the entire ROM since as you don't have CWM. But in case if you're already rooted then download titanium backup pro and use the backup all feature and in case if you've not rooted then follow this process. Backup all your contacts to your gmail account using the sync option. Then backup messages and call log if you want through some backup app like snap pea. Then download app uninstaller from playstore a free app and backup all the apks ( second or third option don't remember exactly) then backup this file to your PC ( the file name is android it will have the folder data inside it and sometimes another folder obb copy both).
SO by now you have a backup.
Now coming to your second question,
Yes the unrooting will work without any problem You just have to go to the settings and click full unroot and its over! You're worried too much i think no just do full unroot and they wont be able to identify it if you still have doubt then after unrooting you can factory reset your phone and then there is almost no chance the customer care guys find it out.

No after you click on recovery update it will just flash the new recovery and in this case CWM recovery it will not make any backup or so.
But since you're rooted( if i remember properly) then use titanium backup pro to backup whatever you need. But at thi moment you cant backup the entire rom as you've still not flashed CWM!
