I used this site for help to root my optimus V this past weekend (oringinally running android 2.2.2)
using ginger break v 1.2. I also downloaded rom manager and mybackup root. Then i flashed a custom rom (cyanogenmod 2.6.32.33 asopCMod). Now my phone shows in the "about phone" area as having android 2.3.4. This means I have switched from froyo to gingerbread, right? Also I have had some issues with the phone turning off and seeming to brick and after reseting (home,up volume, power) it is working fine. Should i be worried or even flash my old rom back or are these just moinor hiccups? any response would be great thanks.
