Hi there.

I'm having a little trouble with my Optimus, I have upgraded to 2.1 (Romanian) and rooted (with 1 click) and installed apps2sd (with the last option apps and cache).
I have a 4GB microsd installed in the phone gaved 700 MB for apps2sd.

The issue that I have is that the phone freezes every time I use it for anything even if it is to check the weather (stays frozen for abou 30s every time). If I restart the phone it gives me an error that android.phone has stopped.

Any advice?

Thanks in advance, and a happy new year!!!

HERE IS MY GUESS... I THINK YOU FORGOT TO INSTALL MSXML INSTALL

Thanks bro, you were completely right.
I didn't know you had to install the MSXML.

Well..
That was weird.
I did the update and everythngi and no errors came through.
The main menu was changed and everything so I thought I had installed 2.1
Turns out when I go to look at firmware it still says 1.6...
Should I reflash it then?

You flashed a v10 ROM.... Flash a v20 ROM instead.

Thanks very much.
My GT540 bricked when I was doing the update to Android OS via LG's tool. Got stuck at 4% and then phone kept getting stuck at LG screen.

Something I would like to add is that make sure the phone is plugged in using the USB cable and then switch it ON using the Voume down + Power combo

The rooting instuctions for 2.1 aren't very clear. Are there any preconditions that the Windows machine I'm trying to root from has to meet in order for it to succeed? I don't have any LG USB drivers installed, and all I get when running the batch file is this:

C:\rootgt540>adb push rageagainstthecage-arm5.bin /data/local/tmp/rageagainstthecage
* daemon not running. starting it now on port 5037 *
* daemon started successfully *
error: device not found

C:\rootgt540>adb shell chmod 4755 /data/local/tmp/rageagainstthecage
error: device not found

C:\rootgt540>adb shell /data/local/tmp/rageagainstthecage
error: device not found

C:\rootgt540>adb wait-for-device

and then it stalls. I guess it's waiting for the device to register itself at the USB, but it's plugged in right now, with Mass Storage disabled and Debugging Mode enabled. So please enlighten me, folks: What's wrong?


Thanks a bunch in advance

how do i get into fastboot?

[A_2_Z]

Thanks I got 2.1 now  . Do i need to root my phone for appstosd?

[mcshen]

thanks worked like a charm!

[Dr.Alani]

Once again my friend, thank you.
The rooting, and apps2sd worked very well. The speed is very acceptable given the free app space on the phone.

I've succesfully upgraded my phone from 1.6 to 2.1. However, I don't have any idea about android and it's hard for me to understand things since this is my first android phone.
Can someone please tell me how to install apps in my phone. Is the App2sd the way? Do I just copy the apps after the partition is done? How do I install the live wallpapers and games. I am totally clueless and I don't wan to do anything yet because am afraid that I might screw up my phone

Thank you so much!

Theres a market application in your phone, there are all the games and apps. You need internet connection on your phone for it.

that is not it. you need to root your phone, than select store method, the best one is under number  1 - standard app2sd.
