I am using the unlocked AT&T Version of Lg optimus g e970 and its on Ice Cream Sandwich version.....
I would like to know the easiest method to root it as i am a beginner....
Check the stickies, its addressed in detail in at least 3 of them, "Optimus G everything", "root, unlock, install custom firmware" and "FAQs".

What's the difference? Is it possible to use the roms from the v to the t?

I think u can p500 roms on optimus t..
The TMo Optimus T is a P509, you can use P500 roms on it, though TMo apps dont recognize the phone afterwards. the Optimus V is a VM670. I would -not- recommend cross-use of roms here, as there is no telling if they are the same/compatible internals. the model numbers suggest they are not.
The P509 has a KDZ rom file available for recovery, the VM670 does not.

Doesn't seem to work on most of the optimus variants at least on the newest official firmwares.
its working for our p500..
i have rooted the latest v20d with this software..
n i rooted other mobiles also like 2x, s2 etc
Well there's a idea I came up with as we have many recoverys out there has anyone thought to try 4ext recovery its possible that it might be compatible with our phones what does everyone else think?

I think clockworkmod is very slow in developing a recovery!
Already installed ROM Manager, but it tells me that my device isn't listed yet....
Is there any ROM out for our L9? I would prefer Cyanogenmod
We cant really install a traditional recovery until our bootloader is either cracked or LG comes up with a way to unlock their bootloader or unlocks it in the next update they push. For now we are stuck with a 2-init recovery.
10e update for T-Mobile is bootloader unlocked as the open source proves that with the kernal being in the open source

The bootloader is unlocked! I compiled a CWM recovery. Will be releasing as soon as I or someone can help me make a postrecoveryboot.sh script to avoid any potential boot loops if something being installed in recovery creates an error like in some current LG phones.
on a sidenote though, just because LG released the kernal source didnt necessarily mean the bootloader has to be unlocked because they released the source code for the LG Motion and its still locked up tighter than a virgin who wont spread her legs......just saying.
The bootloader is unlocked after getting an ota?

I bought a Lg Optimus G and its on 4.0.4 but its unlocked and using it on t mobile.When i go to update it it shows and error. Is there anyway to get jellybean with the phone on t mobile network? Please Help
You probably need to flash a custom ROM that's already on JB. Trying to update most likely won't work due to switching carriers. Hope this helps.

Don't flash it unless you want to see the not so nice "Security Error" under the LG logo!
