Alright, so first things first. Rooting. Literally all I did was download UnlockRoot and it did it in one click. I have seen people get errors. You will have to play around with it, like unplug your phone and replug it in or whatever. I used this to help me.

Next thing is to get clockworkmod. All you have to do is download ROM Manager from the market and click Flash clockworkmod recovery and then scroll till you see the "Lg Optimus SOL/TMo LG Mytouch" one. Click and let it finish and you have clockworkmod.
Finally and installing cm7.
First your going to go download the latest Cm7 and gapps to put on the root of your sd card.
Just download from these two links, the lastest cm7 and the gapps right beside cm7 on the wiki page.
Download Cyanogen from here - CyanogenMod Downloads
Download Lastest Gapps next to cm7 here - Latest Version/Google Apps - CyanogenMod Wiki
And It's literally a pain in the butt to boot manually into CWM...
What ive done though and ive gotten into it 100% now is.
Power down the phone
Hold power button and volume down button for three seconds (almost exactly 3 seconds, count like 1dot2dot3dot)
right at 3 seconds, press the soft keys Menu and Back at the same time...
When the Lg logo appears, let go of the power button but still hold the volume down button+soft keys Menu and Back
Im serious, you will have to get the hang of it. Its pretty hard.
Let me know if you have any problems...
As for the RC1 install, here's what I did....
I had been flashing the nightly builds since like 4 or 5. I've read that you have to have nightly 7 in order to flash the RC1. I've also read that someone flashed RC1 over nightly 6 and it works just as fine...
This is what I did and it worked great. As always, use at your own risk....
Go into CWM and do a NANDROID BACKUP!!!
Then ENSURE THAT YOU HAVE THE CORRECT FILES BEFORE DOING THIS...
Most current google apps http://wiki.cyanogenmod.com/wiki/Lat...on/Google_Apps
and RC1 zip file... And make certain they can be accessed from CWM (I've wiped everything before and realized the files were on the internal memory of my tablet and I couldn't reach them through CWM)
Wipe data/factory reset
wipe cache partition
go to advanced
wipe Delvik Cache
Wipe battery stats
Go back to main menu
Go to mounts/storage
Format System
Then go back to main
install Zip from SD Card
Choose RC1 ZIP from the appropriate folder...
then install Zip from SD Card
Choose the most current google apps zip and install it.
then reboot the phone... wait for a bit, the boot logo will be there for a few extra minutes... The phone will come on and voila, there you go... RC1... Hit me up if you have any questions....
