BIG Mess up after update

This morning I made an update via LG Pc Suite. The update was a large one but could not "see" what it was. My phone is rooted. After the update was finished I have lost root rights, lost the nvidia app, all pre installed games, I have rooted the phone again, tried to install rom manager and restore a back up made a week ago but also not working. The phone kept giving a failure notice when trying to run Titanium back up. I eventually did manage to manually install the last back up from recovery, but now phone is stauck on LG boot screen. Any help please. I think the only difference after the update this morning was the V10d instead of the V10c. thank you for your help.

I wouldnt have left you like that.
Well the solution was found here: http://www.usp-forum.de/lg-p990-opt...-lg-p990-optimus-speed-flashen-anleitung.html
Its in german but basically it says no more than things which are common sence to all devs but for a guy like me its like rocket sience. Its the smartflash procedure with a german rom.
The bad thing is that I have lost at least 6 hours of my life only to found this tiny little program that does wonders. Anyway I am really pissed off with LG because the rolled out an update (be careful out there with LG PC suite) which basically messed up my phone.
Cheers.

Well, 2 my experiments with official LG update ended up with "bricked" phone where only SmartFlash helped. I strongly discourage anyone from using it

This morning i tried searching for a new phone software update via LG PC suite and I got the notification that there is an update for the phone. Undortunately I cannot "see" what the hell this update is for. As I mentioned on the first post above, this is a rather large update. Does anyone know what this could be? Could it be a LGE Version (V10d)?

I have called LG customer service to ask them what this update is.. "If your phone is working properly you should not do the update" he said to me.... Sorry? Why do you release an update then?? "This is made automatically, the phone always finds updates"... so why didnt it find last week? "Well this may be a problem with your PC" What???? are you crazy? So you are telling me that when the 2.3 rolls out I shall not do the update becaue my phone works fine? "Yes Sir". I want to know what this update is... "This is the call centre sir, we do not know"...
Well If there is one reason to change the phone it would only be because of the customer service and their unreliability...

Customer service is everywhere the same,at least they picked up your phone
And yes, they dont have these informations usually, and getting them when responsible project does not issue any changelist is problematic. Its more like project management
issue , which should not be big suprise considering all the troubles...

I give up. I have called US (live chat). No help there. LG Swiss gave me their service centre office (another company).... nothing..
Well it must be a ghost update chasing me around.... hmmm root and ROM is the solution.

This morning I got an update message from the LG Updater that there is an update to download. This time it shows that the the New Version is V10D.. I am running on V10C.
Can anyone tell me please:
a) Should i update or not? The phone is rooted running stock rom
b) Does the "D" version imrpove something?
thank you

First off, thanks for the link..really appreaciate it. It work..my limping super soft brick 2x now can breathe again. Those german forum was not bad..a step by step instruction was given for newbie like me.
Owh btw, i say..no need to change to 10D as it is for german vodafone branded firmware while 10C for open firmware, that what it said in the link you gave us above.
Newbie on the block.

LGMobile update support tool reports wrong firmware version

Hi,
I am having some troubles with the LGMobile update support tool. It reports that my phone is using V10C when the phone is actually using V10B (and 614 baseband).
Has anyone experienced the same thing?
And does anyone have solution to get LGMobile update support tool to show the correct firmware version?

try reinstall it

I've seen this reported before, pretty sure it's because you're using a newer baseband than it expects. Drop it down to the v10B baseband and it should work.

Should I try reinstalling LGMobile update support tool?
Is it just a wild guess or do you know that it is a solution to the problem?

like said before, the problem seems your baseband...
reflashed stock (V10b) and newer baseband about three weeks ago and had the same issue, after rebooting pc and lg2x i wasn't able to connect my phone with lgmobile updater
then i downloaded latest german ROM (V10c) and reflashed with SmartFlash and it worked

I have just reverted back to baseband 315 flashing with smartflash, and now LGMobile update support tool is reporting the correct firmware version (V10B). So reverting back to old baseband solved the problem.
Thanks everyone for input

For me it says:
New mobile phone software is available
Please update your software.
If not connected, connect the device now to start update.
If the update is done later, connect the device at that time.
Before the update is starting and after i've accepted that i can't revert, it says:
Your mobile phone software is the latest version.
why is this?
I'm at
LGEP990-V10b
Baseband 1035.21_20110502

Must be baseband. 502 is not part of V10B.

Yeah. I tried that. I follow the exact procedure to flash the beseband, but when I press start i get asked Do you want to apply odmvalue?" if i press yes, the screen blacks out and if i press no it goes into an endless loop with S/W Upgrade. THe status in smartflash doesnt update after "Download complete"

In your case you need a new LG usb driver. That's is why smartflash is not acting correctly.

I used the exact same drivers when i flashed to the baseband I'm at now, but i tried to uninstall current drivers and download the correct ones and reinstalled. Still same problem.
By the way. I get this error when i try to run OneClick Recovery
Code:
downloading bootloader -- load address: 0x108000 entry point: 0x108000
sending file: fastboot.bin

fastboot.bin sent successfully
waiting for bootloader to initialize
bootloader downloaded successfully

I actually tried this on 2 different computers. Same error on both.

Then you should try another USB port on your computer.

[Solved] LG PC Suite does not detect correct firmware version for OTA

I'm really stumped on this one so I hope someone can help.
It started when the v10d update was pushed via PC Suite last night. So I went ahead and happily updated it. Rooting it immediately and removing certain LG apps that I've always removed (including LGHome, LG IME, etc.)
1st major problem happened when I tried to go into recovery (vol down + power), only to remember that I haven't reinstall CWM yet. An LG progress bar appeared, and a full wipe commenced.
That issue was fixed with a Smartflash to an open Euro v10c ROM.
I have now restored to my stock v10b ROM, but when I connect to PC suite, it's telling me that I'm on v10d and there are not updates available! I've tried uninstall/reinstalling PC suite. Even restarting the phone. But I am still stuck with the same message.
I'd like to go through the OTA update again since it saved all my apps and it was (well kinda) hassle-free.
Help?

I removed both PC Suite and LG United Drivers, same thing though, it's telling me that my current v10b is up to date. When I just received a v10d update yesterday.

TrymHansen helped me get a solution.
Just flash an older BB! As we know, nandroids don't touch the BB partition, and apparently, that is where LG PC Suite is looking at. I downgraded my BB to 0405, and LG is now telling me to update again.

My BB is 0405, but still it wont tell me that ugrade is avaible :S
Please help me

my bb also 0405 and its telling me its up to date

You don't need root to flash bb use smartflash for this. According to my tests with bb it sometimes fixes the quality of the call nd reduces battery usage but some don't I got new bb + new til this morning form the forums and now its works really great
Give it a go

You didn't look closely there are 4 V10H links on that page.
But anyways try this
Download this for orange :
http://csmg.lgmobile.com:9002/swdata/WEBSW/LGP970/AORUTL/v10d_00/V10D_00.kdz
Then extract the cab from kdz.
After that your gonna have to extract .wdb and .dll
Then extract bin/fls files and flash using SFT.
Extract .kdz :
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1566532
Download SFT :

Actually V20 is not released in UK yet so V10D is latest.

I'm sorry to blunt - but are you really stupid, or do you just like wasting money? Did you not bother to read any of the countless threads in which software upgrades for the P880G are discussed and it is said that it is different hardware to the standard (International) P880? Did you think that you might just get lucky and be able to flash our software on your phone?
I'm sorry mate, but unless you can source the .kdz firmware for your model of phone you are probably going to be left with a very pretty, expensive paper-weight on your hands.
