Hi,
I bought LG Optimus Black week ago, Its Really Cool Phone.
I have insatalled LG PC suite 4.3.20, My phone is connected to pc suite.
When I try to Check Phone Update , It shows me Phone Update Available,
But I am not getting what kind of Update is that,
If anyone have idea about it please let me know.
I have default Froyo 2.2.2 installed which comes with phone.
Software Version is LG-P970-V10a
thanks
Yes probably it is V10b. Try to update your phone with LG mobile updater.

Yeah maybe just 10b

Thanks Everyone,
But update really necessary, do we have any improvements from that ?
I've eared that it helps with the battery draining issue but some people also told me that it doesn't change anything considerable and the battery problem isn't fixed. I think the kernel is the same and it also runs 2.2.2 so it's your choice. In my opinion you will not lose anything by doing the update but I also don't know if you gain something.
yes it's the 10B software. i don't really notice any difference but regarding the battery it might be a little improvement. if you root and remove some stuff you can improve the battery but that's probably the same with 10A.
if you want to update, make sure to first make a factory reset cause if you don't it might cause your phone to act weird. i didn't so i had to reflash 10A and then to 10B again.
When I connect my OB to LG Suite, it also shows me an available update.
If I try to apply it, gets me an error and tells me that my phone isn't connected.
I went into my phone settings and my software is up to date.
In my case, LG Suite shows me an incorrect information.
Guys, how come everytime I check my PC Suite IV it doesn't prompt me of any new phone update? My s/w is v10a. How come you guys have and my doesn't? And by the way, there is a new update also for the PC Suite IV. But when I tried updating it. It only shows Live Update searching and then gets lost and then gets back again. How come this happens? Does it happen to you guys to? Need your help here. Please?

An update is always welcomed, because it comes with some improvements to the phone. I made the update to v10b but i didn't find any changes, except the fixed video recording aspect ratio, which is the most important update for me and my LG OB.
Hi All,
When I connect my phone it shows connected on LG Pc Suite but when I click on phone update/ software update it says phone not connected. Can you please suggest what could be wrong?
you need to turn off the phone, and while plugging in the usb cable to your computer,HOLD DOWN the VOLUME UP button. there should be a screen saying "S/W update", then try using the LG mobile updater again
Thanks. It worked. I am getting SW Upgrade Please wait while upgrading screen. When i launch LG mobile update tool it is searching for very long. How do i restart the phone whithout this update?
Please help. Thanks
you will just have to pull out the battery and unplug the cable, there is no other way to restart the phone
My PCsuite IV says update available, but when i proceed to mobile updation tool, it says the phone is up to date.. !!

I have the same problem....can someone tell us why we are getting that message? why PC Suite sais that there is an update and the LG Updater sais that the phone is up to date?
thanks
Because it is from LG. I had sometimes same problem. Just ignore it ;-)
I;ve got another message. When connected to Lg update tool, update available. So i pressed start update and after checking sw and phone i get " This software is not compatible" What?! Anyway, it was so hard for me to revive my phone after i bricked it.
Just LG trolling us while they sit back and laugh at all the fuss about GB
How do you update to gingerbread? I have V10B now and software update doesn't detect anything.
Thanks in advance!

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.
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?

Please help me

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

Hey guys
I got a weird problem. I'm on stock 2.2, and i saw on the forum that there was a v10d release in Denmark, so i thought I would download.
The download goes well, and it tells me to tab the message in the statusbar to install the update.
But when i press the button the phone boots up in Clockwork Recovery, without installing anything?
I rebooted my phone, and there was no update installed.
But now I'm stock with that goddamn message which tell me to install the update, and i can't clear the statusbar.
Has any of you got the same problem? And any of you got a solution?
Is it possible to "delete" the update, so i at least can get rid of that message?
Thnx in advance

- I plugged the phone in the computer
- It said new software available, so i pressed update
- It said update failed, please remove battery and put it in again, turn it on and press try again
But everytime I do it fails! Now it's stuk in update mode!
Anybody please anybody got a fix for this?
Root it and install cm7 on it
Or try the ota update function (settings>about>updates (i think))

I think you misunderstood, it's stuk in sofware-update mode! I can't do anything
I had the same thing. I tried everything and nothing seemed to work. Then I found an application called Smart Flash, I don't know how this program works out what to do with it, but I kept pushing done buttons and suddenly there was some kind of reaction on my PC and after I removed the battery and replaced it again the phone was back in recovery mode. the next problem was that there was no more OS to run. But the pc was able to find the phone again so I downloaded some mod and the problem was fixed.
So you need to google for Smart Flash.
The file is called: LGOptimus2x_smartflash.zip

you need the lg pc suite to update with. get it here
install it and connect your mobile to the pc using the usb cable.
remember to connect the usb cable between mobile and pc BEFORE you turn on the mobile.
if you do not do it correctly, the S/W upgrade menu will not appear, and update might fail (which i believe you seen now?)
(hold VOL- pressed, when you turn on the mobile, and S/W upgrade will appear, otherwise try again)
from here, the pc suite will guide you through the upgrade. i might be missing that you need to select mobile upgrade from the menu, but that is just a matter of selecting it

I suggest you to follow this guide http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1264289
The only two different things are that you have to download and select the proper kdz for ours p880 and also insert the battery between fourth and fifth step ( when you reached the s/w upgrade mode ), otherwise the flash won't finish ( at least, for me it was so ).
PS: obviously in step 4 you have to keep pressed "vol-" and, at the same time, plug in the usb cable.

i can confirm when you connect the USB cable you only need to keep VOL- kept down and do it within 2-3 seconds or it will not boot up.
but power button is not needed for f/w upgrade mode.
yeah, I did not remember exactly if i pressed the power button or not
Is that all? Download LG PC suite and then connect USB? I tried that and got the S/W upgrade please wait while upgrading... but its taking forever.
ps: this is my first time rooting/flashing a phone.

The same error here, and my phone is a developer edition? How to solve it? Can you flash the rom sucessfully?
I invite you to test the tool which downloads the original KDZ file to your phone P880. Especially those who have the DEVELOPER VERSION.
How to use?
Well, In the top field, put the model in this case, LGP880.
In the field below, enter the number of the IMEI (This code is located behind the device, removing the battery you can see a white sticker with a number)
Whoever can download the KDZ, give an answer here. I have a device developer version, I and my colleague are testing whether there are differences between versions of files KDZ developer of the definitive versions.
Please DO NOT try flashing the rom until I can test it, my phone is already bricked, if it works for me, then I'll tell you.
Download the program here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=592871&d=1305116848
Hmm, I tried the app but it does not seem to find anything for me...
I contacted LG Singapore stating that bought the device but was not able to update the device. Informed that the upgrade tool showed the error. I asked to check the IMEI of my device. Maybe they release the update, if this process succeeds, simply register the device by LG. I may be talking nonsense, but it never hurts to try.
