Root the phone before doing this.
Download cyanogen_thunderg-ota-eng.mil-6.5.4.zip into your microSD card. CyanogenMod 7 ROM is based on Gingerbread. Install ROM Manager on your phone. Open ROM Manager and select Install ROM from SD card. Now browse to the downloaded cyanogen zip and tap it.
In the menu, check backup existing ROM (if you want to back up the current OS, highly recommended). Check the options to wipe data/cache and dalvik cache. Now Tap OK. The phone will restart and backup the files and then proceed to CM7 installation.
The phone will automatically restart after the installation (takes about 5-10 min). You will see a brand new OS on your phone. Go to settings and add your google account to synchronize contacts, mails etc.
If you want any other google applications which are not already installed with CyanogenMod 7, follow these instructions.
The same procedure can be used for installing any other android ROMs.

Install google apps on your new Android OS.
If you want any other google applications which are not already installed with your current Android ROM (like CyanogenMod 7), download apps-addon.zip. If you don't have it already, install ROM Manager on your phone. Open ROM Manager and select Install ROM from SD card. Now browse to the downloaded zip file and tap it.
In the menu, check backup existing ROM (if you want to back up the current OS, not required in this case for installing google apps). Uncheck the options to wipe data/cache and dalvik cache. Now Tap OK. The phone will restart and backup the files and then proceed to gapps installation.

Rooting Koodo LG optimus One Android phone (P500h)
This procedure will work for LG optimus One Android phone from Koodo (P500h). This may work for other LG Optimus One phones as well, but I have not tested it.
Do not use z4root to root this phone (many people suggested to use this, but didn't work for me at all). The process takes forever without any result.
Download GingerBreak-v1.20.apk (google it, I am sure you will find it). In the application settings, allow installation of non-market applications and enable "USB debugging" in Application settings>Development. Once you install the apk, you will be able to do a "Permanent root" without any fuss.
Please leave a comment, if you have success with any other methods.
If you want to go ahead and install a new ROM (for eg cyanogenMOD 7) instructions are here.
