Root LG Optimus M Development

You know...I noticed something. Both the boot.img and recovery.img for this phone are the exact same file size down to the last byte. Is that how it is with all of the Optimus line?

I read that the M line was different (read here). I have not looked at any other Optimus for differences to confirm this statement...
 
Those shysters were trying to sell some files, specifically the Component and Generic .dll files that are used to make LG's phone flasher, LGNPST, functional.

Now this wouldn't have been a problem, because all versions of those files up to 4.0 had already been posted in a thread on their site. I happened to obtain the full set that they were trying to sell.

After reading a few posts and seeing how they flamed anyone that requested the files for free, calling them leeches and such, I uploaded the files to a mediafire account and posted the link on not just cdmaguru's forum but mobile-files.us. I am currently banned from both sites. It's nothing a proxy server and a new account wouldn't remedy, but why bother. I did what I set out to do and it's over. Besides the files can be found free of charge in this thread here: http://androidforums.com/lg-optimus-m/254250-lgnpst-lab-1-2-better-than-my-fix.html

So far they're out about $1,150. :D

What's the difference between:

Froyo FRG83 vs FRF91?

By looking at the name FRG seems like gingerbread, and FRF is froyo? Just trying to keep up on all current info.
 
So what do we do with these files?

I am about to flash the custom recovery on my phone so I can be like all the other cool phones. But hesitant to "recover" using the thunder ROM.

I have read thru many of the posts, but still wondering what to do with the 4 img files.

Gingerbread would be 2.3.

These are all Froyo -- 2.2 or 2.2.1.
 
You are correct...

The first letter signifies the build branch.
Each branch has revisions which is usually bug fixes or security patches.

So lets say 2.2 is Froyo and 2.2.1 is a revision of Froyo.
 
Ah cool thanks guys. Mind expanding on what the difference is? Like what new type of features, or what not was added in 2.2.1? In my mind its like i'm comparing a PC os update to another pc update? Normally there's some kind of patch notes of what was changed, added, modified. lol sorry for all the questions, just trying to pick up some info.
 
is it possible for those of you who have put the rom on their phone to give us less fortunate some sort of tutorial or step by step of how to go about this
 
if we can unpack that system image, then we can probably unpack the 2.2.1 system image, since it appears to be in the same format.
