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.

LG PC Suite Shows Phone Update Avaialble

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.
Sent from my LG-P970 using XDA App

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!

[Q] Please Help - LG Mobile Update Toolkit

Hi,
Can someone please aid on the below;
I have connected the LG O2x to LG suite and checked for firmware update update (recently reflashed to 2.2.2), and am informed that there is one available (as there should be). When LG suite starts LG mobile update tool install the progress bar makes it to around 5% and the application closes (simply disappears and install is aborted). This also happens if i download the software direct from LG.
I have read that port 9002 needs to be open so i granted full access to these and tried again. Same thing happens.
I have completely disabled all antivirus software and shut off all firewalls and tried again but the same thing happens each time.
Can someone help with this please.
Thanks!

Try update over the air (OTA)
In your phone,go to settings,phone info,and you will find there OTA.

I'm quite an experienced droid user so this was tried. OTA states no update but lg pc suite states there is one but required the update toolkit.

I have the same problem with Lg update tool.
I restart phone and Lg update tool recognize phone and let me to update FW.

That's not the same issue. I cannot install the update tool.
I have now tried on a different pc and am greeted with lgmobilecl.dll cannot be found. And yes i'm downloading from the LG site.
I have called them and they stated that this is not a common but known issue with windows 7 32bit but why FFS haven't they fixed the issue.
So if i want to upgrade the OS i either have to manually flash it or go to carphone warehouse and pay £15 for the privilege as LG cannot do their jobs properly.
Can anyone point me in the direction of the UK sim free gingerbread 2.3.4 ROM?

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 :

Download SFT :

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

[q] updating lg optimus 2x to ice cream sandwich

Hi, so I recently aquired a LG optimus 2x (P990-hN) and i noticed it was on android 2.2.2 so i downloaded and installed the LG update tool. I updated to gingerbread and I checked for updates again. I was told there was a newer version. I tried to go through the update and now I keep running into a snag, when I hit update it goes through everything until I hit a screen asking to back up the phone so I do so and hit the start upgrade button, but all that pops up is "An Unsupported operation has been attempted" .
I don't know what to do I followed all the steps properly and still nothing
... any suggestions would be appreciated
THANKS

Hi, If you did not figure it out try this :
1. Open LGMobile Support Tool
2. Connect you're device on the computer
3. Options -> Upgrade Recovery
I've just did it 2 days ago .. same Error like your's .. Now I have latest STOCK ROM - Android vs. : 4.0.4 ( P990-30a ) BUT the Battery is draining much faster than the previous Version ( Now : 21h:19m51s - previous almost 2 days ) with wifi on all the time, sync on all the time .. now it's you're decision ..
Good Luck ! :good:

This worked for me and I had given up hope trying to download it lol. I like it better than Gingerbread but find it slower to react and not as snappy moving around or opening apps. Strange lol.

The Alt+F4 did the trick for me also.
P990, international version, with Android 2.3. The update recovery method did not work.
Before this I tried various drivers and LG Suites, but nothing worked until Alt+F4.
