[ROMS] Original LG Firmware list

List of all firmware available for P500 (list of codes)
Seems that there is unable to download FW directly anymore, because of updated security policy. Event, when you find URL, it's possible, that will not work, because of "access denied" like here: http://csmgdl.lgmobile.com/swdata/WDLSW/LGF240S/ASKTWH/F240S10n_00/F240S10n_00.kdz
Link deprecated. If I will found more, I notify you.
http ://csmg.lgmobile.com:9002/csmg/b2c/client/ezlooks_model_list.jsp?model=LGP500&country=CZ
NOTE: Seems, that there is also possible select your country code, for FW selection. Just add "&country=XX" at the end of url. For example
Code:
http ://csmg.lgmobile.com:9002/csmg/b2c/client/ezlooks_model_list.jsp?model=LGP500&country=GR
will search greek versions of FW.
If you want different type of phone, just replace P500 with your type.
Code:
http ://csmg.lgmobile.com:9002/csmg/b2c/client/ezlooks_model_list.jsp?model=LGP500
Download link is
Code:
http://csmg.lgmobile.com:9002/swdata/WEBSW/LGP500/[B]XXXXX[/B]/V10a_00/V10A_00.kdz
where XXXX is code from link above. For example:
I want to original LG firmware for czech republic.
1) Open http://csmg.lgmobile.com:9002/csmg/b2c/client/ezlooks_model_list.jsp?model=LGP500
2) In browser I will start search czech/cze and it finds something like
Code:
[B]CDMA LGP500 ACZEBK CZE/CZECHO[/B] - Unbranded FW
[B]CDMA LGP500 ATMCBK TMC/T-MOBILE(CZECHO)[/B] - Branded T-Mobile fw
[B]CDMA LGP500 AVDZBK VDZ/VODAFONE(CZECH)[/B] - branded Vodafone fw
where ACZEBK or ATMCBK or AVDZBK are code for download link.
3) Go to
Code:
http://csmg.lgmobile.com:9002/swdata/WEBSW/LGP500/[B]ACZEBK[/B]/V10a_00/V10A_00.kdz
for download unbranded LG firmware for czech
It's not confirmed, but you can also try V10x for new version of firmware. Maybe it will work, maybe not.
IMPORTANT NOTE!!!
For different version you have to change also path in url!! ex:
Code:
For V10a_00
http://csmg.lgmobile.com:9002/swdata/WEBSW/LGP500/ACZEBK/V10[B]a[/B]_00/V10[B]A[/B]_00.kdz
or for V10f_00
http://csmg.lgmobile.com:9002/swdata/WEBSW/LGP500/ACZEBK/V10[B]f[/B]_00/V10[B]F[/B]_00.kdz
Based on post on androidforum.cz from u.david
Using of application which xda-dev user Crecked did
Application downloads last firmware based on steps described below (How to get stock FW, which should be in my device) By this application you can download proper firmware just by inserting of your device type and serial number. For proper use you need installed .NET4 and disable firewall (or at least make rule for this app).

7) You have all needed information about your firmware. If you have older firmware, just replace some letters in FW link.

Sniffing of communication of LG Update client
If above not working as you expected, you can take a look on communication between client-server.
1) Download and install membrane-monitor
2) Configure it as proxy (LG client gets configuration from your default browser, so just set your browser to connect through membrane-monitor)
3) Turn on filter on lg server (create rule for filtering *lgmobile.com*)
4) Start client
5) Watch messages between client and server. If your LG client works fine, you can get download link for your latest firmware.
For flashing of firmware take a look on Zecanilis's post [HOWTO] Flash original firmware on P500

Seems that the *BK one is the only one that works
A few days ago I downloaded from a link found somewhere on the internet a V10A firmware. the link was for the portughese version. Now i've redownloaded the one from AITABK. the MD5 sum is the same for both the file.
So probably the firmware with the same version revision is the same in all countries, and probably the later revisions is for non-standard country related settings
(sorry for my crappy 'n twisted english )

It seems that there are not every firmware for every country. If you can't download it directly for your country, try look for continent or something. It's hard to say. Possibility to browse folder directly one by one doesn't exist.
It's realy pity. I tryed few links from czech and europe end here every was function so I hoped that every-one will be fine.

in my opinion the many revisions currently released are the same firmware with some minor country related differences... maybe something about the local phone operators
an LG employee wrote in some italian forums that LG will release a firmware in a few weeks (before the end of december he said) that should fix some bugs: the sdcard that unmount and remount random and hopefully the slightly annoying noise on nearly all audio related situations (outgoing calls, ringtone, mp3 player...)

How I can download versions for Chile?

CDMA ??? it says product type - cdma
I am having LG p500 GSM, will it suit this ?

doesn't work for me (Telus Canada) or I didn't find the good information...

I've just tried to flash my Optimus One and after it finishes its stuck in a boot loop, gets to the "Android" screen and won't go any further! I've tried with the Australian and Bulkans ROMs from the above link and same thing, still no good.
Has anyone else experienced this? What else can I try to fix this, I've tried to flash 4 times already, each time there's no difference!!

i had get problem like you, i have found a way to solved it, after you flash your LP One it will turn of your phone, now press Home + Volumn Down + Power, your phone to boot to Android ok.

And wait for while. It takes about 5 and more minutes before all data will be prepared and phone will start properly.

Guys thanks so much, that worked well! I thought the phone was bricked but it has loaded normally now, I wonder what causes that problem in the first place?
Someone should update the first post with these instructions in case others experience the same issue.

Hello
Could you help me please ? My question maybe stupide, but is anybody could explain me how to flash my phone with the original *.kdz firmware ?
Maybe also make a tuto ?...
I would try to install one of the custom rom on my optimus p500, but I dare not, because I want to be sure I could return easily to the original firmware if I encounter some problems....
Thanks a lot in advance

[Q] Terriblely inaccurate gps

I am running stock rom android 2.2 on my optmus 2x and gps is so in accurate compared to my old htc magic. i often go jogging and track it with my phone, but since i switched to the lg i can move the tracked routes to the trash.
gps sets me 10-30 meter next to the track, plots out whole circles i never ran.
i tried trackerbooster which helped alot on the htcmagic but it did not help.
is there any way to fix that?
-dan

try this.
1. Go into the LG hidden menu
2. Go into GPS Test
3. Go into System Settings
4. MOLR Protocol (is set to User-Plane)
5. SULP Setting -> SLP Server Setting, I created a new one for the nokia servers (slp address: supl.nokia.com, port: 7275, no cert and no TLS setting)
6. SLP Auto Provision is activated

What version is your stock ROM? At some point there was a change to the GPS userspace which made a huge difference when it was merged into CM.

Whats lg hidden menu?
Rom Version is V10c

i only know how to do it if you have launcher pro.
you just press and hold on one of the home screens until a menu shows up
take Shortcuts then choose Activities scroll down until you find com.lge.hiddenmenu
tap on it then tap on HiddenMenu. now you have a shortcut on the home screen

GPS inaccuracy was a problem on 10c. It locked/fixed very quickly, but with lack of resolution. 10D fixed this, takes a little longer to get a fix, but it's accurate. I advise you to upgrade.

I just checked, and 10d is available for all carriers in Austria. Just run/install the LGMobile update tool, and you should be good.
If that does not work, you can always smartflash 10d Europe Open.

Where did you check?

The LGMobile Update tool. I set the country to Austria, and in menu "Customer Support" chose "Supporting Model". Every entry for P990 shows 10d as the latest for Austria.

Only Europe Open shows v10d
Hutchison (my carrier) shows V10c.
So how can i flash EUrope Open V10d on it?
(I have not yet rooted it)

Instructions here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1008070
NOTE: The instructions are for flashing baseband only. In addition to that, you also need to select the .bin file in "Ap bin"
NOTE2: If you decide to flash and something goes wrong this is YOUR responsibility. I've not yet heard of anyone messing up their phone this way, but there may be a good reason for your carrier not having released 10d. Unless you can find a copy of the ROM you have now, there's no way to go back.

Thank you. Very much appreciated.

[Q] HK LGMobile Support Tool .....

Guys in Hong Kong, do you guys find out the LGMobile support Tool, The Supporting Model List was no more LGP990, or Just my Tool got problem ?

I have the same problem, and the CS told me to use PC Suite, but it can't update too...
I think the LG update server in HK have some problem that they don't know.

Update Servers Broken
Looks like something wrong with update servers.
When I try update request link by self, it returns response without any KDZ files and ROM versions.

I ordered P990 White model at Plemix.com(Hongkong).
I got the phone and check software version appeared by "China Chungwa telecom"
It have too many bloatwares.
So I flashed to OPEN-EU ROM. It's perfect and clean ROM. No have bloat wares.
And, Update manager runs after Country select to "EUROPE" and check the
support model list see, we will confirm latest software version(v20l, GingerBread),
I think you will select this method.
Please refer it. hehe..

[Q] LG Support Tool Model Not Supported

Hi,
I was running CM10 on LG P990.
I downgraded and installed stock rom using the:
BIN_LGP990AT-00-V20h-ESA-XXX-MAR-07-2012-0.zip
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1035041
So now I have BB 725 V20h.
I then try to connect and update the firmware using LG Support Tool, It says new firmaware is available and "Start Updating" , but when i start updating , after "Analysing" it says "Model not supported".
When i check Supported models tab --> it shows LG P990 is supported and latest firmware is V30b.
Could someone help me update to V30b using LG Support Tool.

Use the attached program, much easier and simpler.
Type P990 on model ofc, and enter your phones IMEI without using any -
Newest firmware, ICS (V30A or V30B) will appear and you can directly save it as .kdz which you need to extract and then you can flash it.
Hope this helped. Good luck.

I've got almost exactly the same problem.
I've flashed V10D to my P990, and the software update menu on the phone says: "already latest version"
The update tool says also update available, and also "software update not supported for this model"
Any tips??:crying:

I really want the official (benelux) update and not the V30A leak.

Firmware version / update help

So Feeling a bit thick atm.
I just bought 2 of these from Carphone Warehouse in UK yesterday for my kids birthday. They are both Sim Free unlocked, one is blue and one is black
However they are both on different firmwares ... the Blue one is on B179 and the Black one is on B115 ... also looks like the colour temperature defaults are different on the different phones.
Checking for updates reveals there are none available for either of them. If I understand this forum correctly I shouldn't expect to see any OTA updates being available since the only ones available in the UK are the ones for the Vodaphone locked versions ... is that correct ?
Am I right in saying I should be able to install the Firmware finder, select the B179 build, run the check with imei, start in app proxy, configure the proxy settings in the wifi and then follow the normal OTA update process from B115 to B179 ?
The reason I ask is because I tried these steps this morning and it failed with a checksum error. Did I do something wrong ?
Or would it be simpler to go back to Carphone Warehouse and ask for a new device ?

Managed to get it to go further trying B125 but I stopped watching and when I came back it had rebooted and was still running B115.

Talking to myself here ... finally got them both updated with a B191 build.

I would appreciate it too.

I don't think I did anything special that isn't documented else where on this forum, the trick was finding a firmware that worked.
But for reference :
* Install Firmware Finder on each phone went to settings and enabled the "Show Packages for current region" and "use simple firmware list".
* Go down the list of firmwares checking the availability with IMEI. (I only tried the ones that said FullOTA-MF and I believe the one I got to work was the on that was 105838 but I'm not 100% sure on that)
* Find one that that says "Firmware approved for installation models for installation: PRA-LX1C432B191" NB there were a couple that said PRA-L31-hw-euRA-LX1C432Bxxx as well but the B125 version I tried said that and failed to install.
* Press the in app proxy button
* Goto phones wifi settings, long press the network you are connected to and modify the settings -> set proxy to localhost port 8080.
* Go to the phones settings -> update firmware page and update as normal.
Extra credit step :
* Once the download has started hit pause then go back to your network settings remove the proxy and then resume the update download. (this was due to reports I'd seen of troubles downloading via the proxy and one attempt I'd made that ended in failure due to a checksum error which is basically a download fail)
