Need help rooting - GT540 Optimus General

Hi all
I have a friend who has this phone and it is vodafone branded and would like to make his phone better by rooting and flashing a good rom. Do you have any guides I can follow and suggestions to any good roms? What is the best speed to overclock the processor?

1st step is rooting what version is he using 2.1 or 1.6? I think z4root should work

"2.1" would I be able to gain root by using visionary since its on 2.1?

there are two tools to s-off once you root, one for radio s-off and one for eng s-off, run the radio one, then the eng one, you will find them in the android development section. you need to s-off before you can flash clockwork mod on the DHD, you can flash that from rom manager
Cool so i need to do that bit more to it on dhd unrevoked rooted and put clockwrk on lol thanks do the roms available make it worth rooting

Haha! Well, it might help if there was actually a question in your first post
But in presuming you're looking to root it, check the Development topics, lots of ROM's to choose from, guides in there to follow on step by step instructions on how to do it.
I would suggest reading through those first before asking questions though as many people ask the same questions

You can root using visonary with that software version. No need to make a goldcard or downgrade

yep it will, before you flash a custom rom though, you need to check out the 2 s-off tools in the developent section (Radio & ENG) after you root, run both of thoes tools from your pc, you can then use rom manager to install clockworkmod recovery, then your free to install all the custom roms you want
After you install Clockwork, don't forget to take a backup of your T-Mobile ROM just in case anything happens you can flash it back to stock.
Yeah cool guys so
1. Root with visionary.
2.Permroot
3. S.off ENG
4. Install rom manager and install clockwork.
5. Flash rom?

You should get radio s-off as well as eng s-off ng

Then you can go on dev boards and learn about radios and things like that, but that is the stuff that can brick you're phone as my friend recently found out with his desire HD, but if you follow instructions and don't unplug half way through :L you should be fine!
I no about radios and roms im a desire user just needed help sorting my bros dhd for him

You have to downgrade first, use the guide in dev subforum sticky thread. Then use methods in same sticky thread to root.

It would of been quicker for you to a search and find the answers.
1). You need to downgrade.
2). You need apply ENG S-OFF
3). Apply Radio S-OFF while you have the chance.
4). Upgrade to Gingerbread using the OTA.
5). Root using GingerBreak.
The guides were kindly written by jkoljo, and the ENG & Radio S-OFF tools were also made by jkoljo. Be sure to thank him.
hello, is there any way i can do all this from mac (running os x).

Yes, just follow this guide from the cyanogenmod wiki, it's fairly straight forward and should have you rooted in no time
thanks, and btw after downgrading, rooting and other procedures would i be able to flash any rom? or does this procedure only promt me with cyanogenmod?
im pretty new to this, so making sure i do not screw it.
you can flash any rom, it's just a good easy to follow guide.

Rooting x10

Hello guys my friend she wants me to root her phone and get clockwork on it and custom roms. What's the easiest way to root? Can someone guide me? Thanks in advance.

Download the flashtool by androxyde and follow the steps to rooting it and possibly look into unlocking the bootloader also. It would make for a quicker loading the phone on turning on. For a solid Rom I would go with Wolfbreaks 6.0 because it's very good and stable.

Rule no.1 never mod a friends phone! You might end up having to buy her a new one. And since you seem uncertain of where to even start =/ i would'nt recomend it.

What about rooting her?
NVM
Download Pc companion and upgrade to 2.3 if u are not on 2.3...
But upgrading to 2.3 will wipe contacts,sms,apps,etc
so do backup
Then download the latest Flashtool and connect phone with usb debbuging on and unknown sources on
then press root button
u are done now she will have rooted 2.3 x10
