The hidden menu is gone on 2.1 and its inpossible to root phone that way, either install z4root from market or go to http://android.modaco.com/content/lg-gt540...ference-thread/ and read how to do it Semi-Automatic way ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Try this: 2. How to root my 2.1 device ? Credits to joestone for the links. * Download 1click root for GT540 * Excract zip file * Make sure USB DEBUGGING is turned on in the phone. Go to Settings > Applications > Development and turn on USB debugging mode. * Make sure MASS STORAGE mode is turned off. Go to Settings > SD card & phone storage and turn off Mass storage only. * Launch root.bat from extracted folder. * Now wait and be patient, it should take ~1minute to root your device. * The phone should restard after it, when it boots up you will have sucesfully rooted your device.
