It's not that hard to do.. All the instructions are really simple, you'll have Froyo in no time!

Ill give it a go sure! One question, all I use my phone are phone calls, text message, wifi, music and taking pictures do all these things work with 2.2.1?
Thanks in advance!

Awesome! Just check out the automatic install if you're still feeling a bit iffy with it

They all work perfectly with the minor exception of the camera - the camera button doesn't work, you have to push the button on screen. If that's a major problem for you, then install CyanogenMod 7/Android 2.3, the camera button works along with those other features, and it's more up to date There's an automatic install for that as well, I created both posts http://androidforums.com/lg-optimus...-android-2-3-avaliable-gt540.html#post2270185

Yeah pretty much, I realised that most of installing was with cmd, and I know how to create batch files (one file that tells cmd what to do). I never thought about making it until you came along!

Cool! One last thing I swear this is the last question. Ever since I updated to 2.1 with the offical LG update the LG and Anroid logo dont appear when I boot up will this effect the fast boot process or am I ok?
Thanks!

I have updated successfully to CyanogenMod 6.1.1 (Android 2.2.1) at my first attempt, but there's has been an issue getting in to the fastboot mode (the camera button hold thing doesn't work at all), so I thought of re-updating and re-flashing will solve my problem.Went through the steps again in the updating section it displays a error message and didn't completed the updating process and my phone got blanked screen then I ran the update process again at that time it completed successfully but didn't get booted can't even enter the fastboot also .When I turn on the phone after removing and replacing the battery it will vibrate and nothing happens.I don't have any idea of solving this problem now and requesting your help.

Yes all works at the first time, then I tried to install Gingerbread theme (needs recovery) but I couldn't get in to fastboot in order to install recovery. So I thought of re-flashing that caused this problem

Ah, I see, so you tried to go from 2.2 to 2.1+fastboot? That's not a good thing to try.. fastboot mode, when you hold the camera button, what happens?

No dude this is what happened.

1st time all went well got install everything even the fastboot....

Then I thought of installing the Gingerbread theme so since the recovery mode is not installed I tried to get in to fastboot and install it but it didn't work at all.

Then I thought of re-flashing (same 2.2) will fix this fastboot issue, but it all went bad and now I cant even boot up the phone.

When I hold the camera button nothing happence.

Ahh right I see, what went wrong when you tried to re install 2.2?

That updated thing was successfully finished but the phone didn't get rebooted (seems like freeze).Removing and replacing battery won't work it just vibrate and nothing appears when I press power button.

Ah I see, well if you try to put the phone in fastboot and see what happens. Just hold the camera button and power on the phone, keep the camera button held for about 20 seconds, then let go, and try to flash CM via fastboot.

The download link for the file you made is down or something any chance you could put it up again or was there a problem with it?
