I hava a LG 2X, rooted, runing german stock rom at 2.2.2 (v10c). The phone is rooted. I ran the LG update tool today and it shows an update which is 196 MB big. Can someone advise whether this is the 2.3 and if so how to proceed with the update? thank you for your help. (location is Switzerland)
German here, the LG update tool doesnt show anything for me ):

Mine showed.. It looks like its gingerbread. The problem is when I try to install it get stuck on 4%.. maybe because of root?
That's be awesome. Yea possibly, try to flash the original firmware and then do it again. I'll keep my fingers crossed
Using a custom rom btw, thats probably the reason nothing showed

Looks like its not the root but Windows 7:
Anyone!!!
If you have issues with updating due to frozen @ 4% and have access to a computer with windows xp follow the directions in this link, I'm a complete noob and it worked for me.

That doesn't make it 196 MB. 196 MB is exactly the amount of data the from the G2x GB update
Well it's obviously not going to be the G2X update, since that's not compatible with the O2X.
Whatever it is, it's not 2.3
I had a problem to update the 196MB large update with win 7 (64bit). This morning I downloaded and installed it on an XP pc. The only thing that has changed was from V10c to V10e... FreeZr you were right. Forgot to also mention that by doing the update i have lost root..

Hey guys,
I'm new to android.. good riddance iPhone. I am a technically saavy I/T Guy and have already unrooted my captivate and figured out GPS and whatnot. However, I have scoured Google and can't find the answer to a simple question. "Do I need to unroot prior to the OTA JH7 update?"
Thanks for your help,

i dont think you'll need to unroot the phone but I *think* you'll lose your root once you update....please correct me if I'm wrong, though.

This is correct. All the apps will be there except superuser and the root will be gone.
I did this myself and after the update went ahead and wiped the phone (factory reset) anyway. I wanted to make sure I didn't have anything lingering..

sorry gents.. I don't have the file yet.. will upload when I get it.
You can always re-root afterwards...
Does the original root method work with jh7? I'm not really interested in the super rooter type all-in-ones.

the update is simply JH7, JH7 has been available for most of us for over a week
grab it from samfirmware if you really want it now

That's where I got mine.. www.samfirmware.com
you will have to sign up for an account but its worth it.
You will have to flash using ODIN. Make sure you get the PIT file located at the bottom of the firmware page too..
Plus once you have the account, you can always flash newer firmwares when they come out...
I know about the leaked JH7. I am running it now. I am only interested in the official JH7 update file, just to compare the two versions.

I am not sure what happened but I just downloaded the update using the check for updates on the phone, it started to install, rebooted the phone then gave me this message:
"The update was not completed.
No update was applied to your phone"
my phone is rooted, lag fix, side load and I did not try to undo any of that stuff.

The same thing happened to me, but when I go my phone settings I show the following:
Baseband version:
1897UCJH7
So do we have to flash back to stock to get this upgrade?
I wasn't too hopeful that our rooted, lagfix-ed phones would play nice with the OTA anyway.

I would like to find out what I need to undo or change (hopefully not reflash) to get the update to install.
Well, I've been at the Big-N00b topic. This is what I read:
The UNROOT
If you wanna unroot your device, why so ever, the easiest way is to use Unlock Root (Link above) open it, connect your phone via USB, enable Debugging Mode and click unroot. If you wanna unroot it, e.g. to be able to send it back to LG on warranty, better use the method below, to unbrick your device with R&D tool.
Because like this, you will get back an unrooted device, which has also been hardresetted. So LG will hardly/never get a clue, that it has ever been rooted.
Dont forget to format your SD card as well
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
I've tried the Unlock Root but the only thing I got was: failed to get shell root.
Anyone have an idea how to unroot it now?
Thanks.
Use the post below, as stated in my thread. It says UNBRICKING.
Flash a new software (the older the better) e.g. v10a to your phone, reboot it 2 times, then update it to the version availiable for you via B2C
Read it all dude

I've read it all, but I wanted to unroot it without having to do that much. What do you mean by B2C? LG PC Suite? Anyway, thanks for helping.
Seems like you didnt read carefully...
B2C is one of the first lines in that guide... You should really start reading carefully.
It is the Lg Update Tool.
Flashing with smartflash takes pretty exactly 5 Minutes, updating with B2C about 10-15 minutes and your all done. If you dont wanna, you dont need to, but you were asking for a solution. So take it or leave it.

So, I got one more question. Right now I'm on stock 2.3.3. If LG releases ICS and I upgrade it with LG PC Suite will I be unrooted aswell?
Of course it will... That's what was the problem with rooting Gingerbread in the beginning was. Cause as soon as you updated a rooted version of froyo, it was rooted no longer...
So will it be with ICS as well

Thanks, mate! I'm hitting the thanks button.
My phone is no longer capable of making a USB connection.
Now i want to revert it to stock, i thought i did so but it turns out the stock CWM rom I installed has some mods like root and busybox.
I was wondering if it is possible to flash an older stock rom through cwm and then have the phone auto update to the newest version? I also wonder if OTA updates update the baseband?

Thats what i think will happen, I want to fully revert to stock first though and check that.
You can use this
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1617458
Thou it won't be a clean stock and you probably need the stock kernel for your region to be inside or it can be seen.
If connecting the phone with the battery out, vol down pressed and it still doesn't change into the flash mode you can be sure the usb is dead. (provided the cable is 100% working)
it looks like that might work.
Do you know if Q is older than R and if my phone will auto-update to R?
Status update:
* Manually installed CWM using terminal
* Followed Kag's link and installed that ROM
Rom appears to be fully stock, but I'm not getting an OTA update to v20r.
I need to be on r because q was never officially released, at least not in my country so my phone should not have it.
Any ideas for getting it updated?

I used those links to flash 10a.
But it still says no OTA updates are available.
Could it be due to CWM?

That should be due to LG server's load . Guess u could wait for it to appear, eventually, or just create a new 20R.
It looks like it's blocked on the software level and will only let you check once ever X period?
Its telling me that there is no update available without even trying to connect, the answer comes so fast.
Yes...i believe i once read about that somewhere in here.
Which baseband are you on now?
218
Thats a bugger..sorry .Dont think theres another way to update bb except from flashing.
About OTA ,doesnt work for any country.
Ill b checking on this one though as it interests me too.
Hi everyone!
First of all, sorry if this as been asked, tonight my Google skills didn't help me find an answer.
A friend of mine owns a LG Optimus 2X (P990) bought from Fido in Canada. Currently she's on Gingerbread and would like to update to ICS (which is the latest stock rom available from what I read)
She wouldn't get the software update OTA so she tried downloading the LG Updater software from LG directly. The software detects the phone and says an update is available.
At some point, a popup appear suggesting to make a backup. So far, everything is fine. Once the backup is done and she click the "Start upgrade" button, she gets this error message : "An Unsupported operation has been attempted"
Anyone ever seen this before? Is there a way to upgrade her phone without using the LG software?
Since it's not my own phone, I would prefer not rooting it.
If rooting is really the only solution? What would be a good guide to read to do the update? (I did read a few sticky posts... 1 is the all in one tool kit... it explains each feature, but is not really a guide and I still have some questions unanswered after reading it. The other guide I read, the download links are broken)
Thank you

i want ICS too on my phone, and use LG tool several times but unsuccessfully, it is like that not working or i dont know...
you can use AIO tool, it is too easy to work with it, just follow instruction and install correct bootloader and thats it.

Alright, that didn't help at all.
First of all, I wanted to flash a stock ROM... the guide tells us to install CWM and we got stuck at the part where we have to flash the ROM because it would seem CWM won't take the KDZ (or bin/fls) files.
Now we can go to the SW Upgrade mode without the battery, but the smartflash utility time out after 3 minutes and end on an error.
We can also go to CWM with the battery... but with no apparent way to flash a stock rom.
We're stuck at the moment.
Edit : So in the end we flashed only the BIN file instead of both BIN and FLS. No more errors and the phone rebooted correctly under ICS! Yay!

It's fixed! We didn't flash the FLS file (which would be the baseband?) but the phone still booted properly and connected properly to the cell phone provider.
Got this OTA after doing an ODIN of EPF1 to my phone. Baseband is updated to match, unsure about bootloader but I doubt it. If someone wants a ROM dump and is willing to tell me how....
I got this update pushed to me also.
Question for anyone who knows: If you flash this do you lose the ability to install custom low level software (firmware, recoveries, etc)?

It's possible, our S6 won't get locked on any 6.0 firmware's
Maybe on 7.0 if we get it. but not 6.0
And for clarification EPH2 was just security fixes.. everything else is still the same.

I'm downloading the complete TAR image from Sammobile, but due to finances I don't have the means to pay for the full speed..
So I'm downloading at the slow method.. If someone else has not uploaded the image, I will upload it by late tonite..
I'm still having issues with the damn Upload it gives me last second errors when I step away to do another task..
I'm making my final attempt to upload it onto my Android File Host... It should be up by morning if it uploads correctly.. Just Look For Zaphodspeaks in Android File Host if I haven't posted it yet..
I have many tasks to do this week ends.. Mainly upkeep the the old house and updating some of the old wiring while its getting cooler..
Finally, I uploaded the Image.. I had to recompress it since it kept giving me errors at the very end, just unzip and install in ODIN

Got my phone rooted, custom rom, and kernel that I was using before, no problem.
Last night (9/27) I got a firmware update for my factory USA unlocked 920T. Sammobile shows it was released on 9/26. It was a 50MB file that updated the Android secruity patch date to Sept. 1. No other changes. I noticed the Samsung Smart Manager app/widget shows I'm using 5% less memory now. I don't know if it's better RAM management or Samsung modified the app/widget to show different figures LOL. I suspect the t-mobile 920T will get the update soon.
