No its not necessary to root before upgrading , rooting is optional on all cases so dont worry
Agree! Rooting is user’s option so that you can use applications that requires rooting such as Titanium back up etc.

You have missed some step and now your phone’s firmware is currupted. Go to service center to fix it
I had the same problem: remove the battery, put it back and switch the phone on and retry again. It worked for me.

Dear Mr. Kuldeep,
I just would like know that is there any software to view Hindi language in this phone (LG P500). This phone doesn’t have Hindi language.
Please help me..
Regards, Gajender Bisht
No man never think and worked on this , if i got solution will inform you
LG P500 with 2.2.2 does not display any Indic (Tamil, Telugu, Hindi, Gujrathi etc) characters.
However after 2.3.3 (official v20b) firmware update I am able to see all Indic fonts without me doing anything!
Hindi in your Android phone .
Hindi reading method in opera mini
1 – First install latest version of “Opera Mini” on Android powered tablet or phone which is available free on Android Market. Otherwise go to official site of opera. (Read about Opera Mini & download)
2 – After that go to address bar & type opera:config and nothing should have www or http://.
3. Then come to the menu & at its end see “use bitmap fonts for complex scripts”. No sentence will be written in front of. You change it to Yes.
4. Save it.
Now Open any Hindi site and see hindi font on your mobile / tablet instead of square font.
Install Hindi font (including all Indian language) as system font – go this link:- http://android-bucket.blogspot.com/2011/07/hindi-font-installation-for-advance.html (Only for Advance users)
for typing in hindi, go this link:- http://android-bucket.blogspot.com/2011/07/hindi-typing-in-android-phone_24.html Hindi typing in android Phone – PaniniKeypad Hindi IME
Read hindi news papers without installing of hindi font, go this link:- http://android-bucket.blogspot.com/2011/08/newshunt-read-various-indian-newspaper.html

Hello sir would appreciate your help in resolving issue when i try to root. Whenever i plug in my LGP500, there is always an issue with the ADB driver which states your new hardware was not installed properly. I tried re-installing the drivers from the Lg support tool several times but to no avail. As an effect of this, i cannot access ADB shell as it always reads, “error: device not found” Please help. Thanks.
Install drivers properly
Excellent article! I feared rooting my optimus one thinking it would be a geek’s work! but hey, that was made very easy! thanks a lot! now shall be trying custom roms!
thanks again!
your welcome bro , keep visiting for more cool stuffs
hello Kuldeep i am have lgp500 2.2.2froyo can u help how to root the phone
Use the method mentioned above. Works flawlessly. Properly installing ADB in your windows machine is critical.
Your welcome , bro .
Download “gingerbreak” (not from market), install it and open it, select “Root device”…
it will take 3 mins to do its work..
Do this, only if ur using 2.2 froyo…
Works with Gingerbreak’s (method1) my LGP500 (Stock ROM with 2.3.3, India). My earlier attempts were failing even though I followed the steps exactly.
I understood that “enabling USB debugging mode” in step1 gets reset to disabled to state after reboot as said in step5. So, enabling USB debugging mode again did worked in less than a minute.
Thanks,

Hi I have noticed that I no longer able to “Select GingerBreak method and press root button” from the SuperOneClick.exe as under extracted root>exploits directory there is no gengerbreak file! this file is infected with trogen virus and my antivirus deletes the file altogether! can you lead to a cleaner source file pls??
guys only root ur devices if there’s custom roms available for ur phone on the internet…and if ur phone hav a gud dev. support…or else dont take risk for rooting n void ur warranty.
