Root Setting Optimus M to factory

[idLiGHT]

Well I messed up my earphone jack and trying to get it RMA'd, but to do so I need to set the phone back to stock. I cannot find anywhere with working links and/or a proper tutorial on how to do so. Anyone care to help? Thanks!

Probably your best bet would be to use the LG Updater Tool and let it upgrade your Optimus M to Android 2.2.2. If you haven't used it before, you should be able to use it (from what I've read and seen, it's a one shot thing, meaning that if you do the upgrade and then root it and put on a custom rom, it won't let you "upgrade" again, it'll tell you you already have the latest version). This'll put your phone back to completely stock. I performed it on my phone once, and it worked well. My phone started life as Android 2.2, I rooted and put on various 2.2, and 2.2.1 ROM's and then finally put on the 2.3.x CM7 ROM's (tried all three and stayed on reppards). When the root method came out for 2.2.2, I decided to give it a try, just for kicks, and so upgraded my phone using the LG Updater tool. Once it was upgraded, I proceeded to root it. After it was rooted, I left it for a little bit, then put on the Kelso 2.2.2 ROM. Finally I went back to reppards CM7 ROM. Anyway, sorry for the ramble. My suggestion is to try the LG tool.

I'm sorry to jump in here, but I upgraded my laptop from a 2 year old Gateway running Windows 7, to a brand new MacBook Pro. I'm quickly finding out that I no longer have access to a number of things that work on Windows. I know I can run the Bootleg app and partition a small percentage of memory for Windows OS. The problem is that I don't have access to a Wndows app. I know that my Mac is aware of my Optimus M when I plug it into the USB. But the problem is that the USB drivers that are available on the LG website are for Windows, and not for Mac. Star Wars The Old Republic had free game play all weekend, but unfortunately the software is Windows only. I'm bummed! Back to the topic, any suggestions on how I can get the LG updater to work on my Mac? Thank you in advance!
