I have a LG Optimus P500 from T-mobile which is unlocked to all GSM sims. It runs Fryo 2.2 and I would like to upgrade to Gingerbread 2.3.x. Is it possible to do that? Would that lock or brick the phone? I think I would not be able to run the official gingerbread update from LG but is there any way that I could install gingerbread 2.3.x since I don't also see T-mobile official gingerbread release anywhere for P500.

Yes, Kdz is the best bet but I am skeptical to try that since I have a ulocked phone. I did not find any T-mobile user having success with gingerbread using Kdz.

Well why don't you follow XDA..?? There are numerous threads about rooting and installing custom recovery and custom rom.

Well, regarding custom ROM, there's nothing called best, it's upto your preference. Presently most stable ROM is CM7.2 A8 by Adfaad.

But the links to those ROM's are removed now. So you may try Latest CM7.2 Nightly.

You can get the latest nightly from http://get.cm/?device=p500 or better check Nightly thread to get the latest KANG posted by Adfaad when CM Servers were down.

You may also try CM9, but remember to read what's not working...before installing and shouting

Well almost everyone OC'd their phone. Stabily varies on each chipset. Some lucky chipsets have achieved above 800 too..!!

Mine is stable at 768MHz. from the very beginning.

Remember the step of OC'ing is same as that of PC Hardware. Move a step, test it's stability, temp. and all and if everything is fine move another step. Repeat this until it gets unstable, in that case step back. You can try OC'ing @ 729 and then move to 768 and further if everything is fine at 729.

My bad I didn't check cm9 cons

Camera preview and video recorder doesn't work

But my phone is freezing even on cm9. It happened twice yesterday

@messi internal memory is about 155 mb but you can always partition your micro sd. (PS I am yet to to it). Which is the most important reason for rooting as except memory stock romantic was OK for me
