I was wondering if anyone knew what the differences (if any) there are between these 2 models?
Essentially, they appear to be the same, but I am reluctant to apply a P970 ROM to my wife's P970g in fear of bricking it. BTW, the P970g is on Telus in Canada.
Anyone have any thoughts on the subject?
The version belongs to Telus carrier from your Country bundled with Skype App, also known as LG Optimus Black Skype Edition. Hardware = same.

Awesome that's good news. Does that mean it should be able to handle Nova or CM7?

why not? you can easily upgrade your p970 to p970g by installing a skype apps.

99% i think it can. Ask Knzo (nova dev) to assure you first before flashing

Are there any special precautions? Are you using that Euro V10e on the Telus network?
Thanks!

I just follow the upgrade guide and try a few times, no issues. I am on Rogers.
Hi, I've just bought an OB and my carrier, Telcel-Mexico, has released GB, but many people are complaining in the LG mobile Mexico FB page that this release has many bugs, apparently due to being V20a (LG is only stating it is V20, no suffix). Can anyone describe the differences between V20a, V20n and any other official release? Do you guys know if v20a is in fact buggy?
Thanks in advance.
I don't know if the verison is buggy. But i tried too. My country also has V20a version. I didn't see any bugs. But i saw this. In V10b there were stupid programs of the GSM company which brought the phone to my country. In V10c some of them gone. In v20a none of them exists but there are still some stupid programs that only exists in our rom. the tech guys here install it i guess. And also our V20a doesn't have FM radio. Since v10b we don't have that.
So i flashed V20b from the thread. Only had default crappy Lg apps. i removed them. It's very stable. Has FM radio. Haven't encountered any bug yet. Bu my battery doesn't last a day. The programs i use has a contribution on that too but still... First i thought the a,b,c,n,..x letters are only for dividing, you know "a" for these countries, "n" for those, for language packages an etc.. But now i see the further the letter the better the rom. Not %100 true but %90 true in my opinion.

Hi,
I have got this LG optimus 2x from Wind, unlocked, and rooted. The thing is that I am still using 2.2, and for the longest time I have been waiting for an update, yet nothing seems to appear. I was looking around and I found this guide:
http://www.lg-phones.org/how-to-flash-lg-optimus-2x-to-android-2-3-4-gingerbread.html
To my knowledge it seems pretty legit, but the links are old, and I can no longer get the files I need to perform the upgrade. Do you guys advice me to perform such an upgrade, or should I go for custom ROMs (not a big fan)?
Any help is appreciated, thanks.
Try to search a live link in this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1035041 or google it...
You can flash older version (V10) with smartflash, then use lg update tool to update it to the newest.
You can try this rom, too, it is the newest stock with minor changes http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1035041 and easily flashable through cwm.

You are on the wrong forum. LG Optimus 2X is LGP990 but the one from Wind is LGP999 (a.k.a. G2X) . Head over to the T Mobile LG G2X Forum
When I try to check for updated via OTA it says device not registered yet. Did anyone saw this message ? Where the hell do I need to register?
ps: even that some operators are already selling the p880 here in brazil, the oficial lauch of this phone will be on this wednesday. Could that even possible be related to this error message?
When you manually flash .kdz files, most likely the file is not from your country. The only way to get it back is by using LG software and repair your phone to your country's firmware.

he phone update itself (not via OTA because it didnt worked for me) to the latest firmware by CHECKING YOUR IMEI. It means that if your firmware is EURO for example, and you install Asian firmware for example, it wont update to the latest Asian firmware, but to the latest EURO firmware because it will check your imei, not the firmware you have. =(

Thats normal.
They have somehow a kind of data base where are the produced devices.
To detect the latest firmware based in the installed firmware, they need to have some "tool" to search "inside" of each device. Like that java tool from nVidia to search the last drivers for example...
And if we want official we should leave the phone like it cames from factory, official... If we mess with FW and other stuff we can not expect that official support guesses what we've done or what we want...
Some persons opinion is that the official should give the latest original firmware, in case of need to go back to original. Others, that it should give the latest firmware based on the installed...
Allways someone complains cause its hot, or cause its raining, or because its cold... The perfection to everybody just don't exist

Yeah, i think they should check by checking your FW not IMEI. Thats sad because im nver gona receive the updates I want, only if I go back to stock FW or update via KDZ, but thats not a simple easy task to do all the time.

well seeing that there are various guides around that include step-by-step details on how to do it, i would reckon that things can't get any simpler

No. updateing via KDZ is easy, but doing everytime would be like pain in the ass (from 10c to 10d , then 10e etc etc etc), because everytime i would have to do backups and start all over again, since I wouldnt have OTA updates, nor LG Suite updates.

Why the need of all that process?
You can update from V10A straight to V10F...
I thing that LG Suite, once that is configured with european settings, should give you the updates to the european version.
But for now I don't expect updates in a very near future...

Yes, why go though that process? I flashed mine from v10b to v10f euro open

yes i know you can go straight to 10f, i just wanted to point that receiving OTA update would be so much easier than to all the KDZ update..

Mine works. Never receive the update though. But it doesn't say Device is not registered yet, instead it tells me that I'm using the latest OS.
I'm using Open Europe v10h, while my stock should be v10e Indonesia.
What I did when flashing the kdz is this: I tried updating the usb driver tool, in that application, I chose United Kingdom as my home country. When it's done updating, I flashed the kdz. The reason I did this is to be able to update to JB on the go, if that thing ever hits O4X.
what about wifi? why did u scrape off model? do u have F180L?

Dude, I think you're asking in the wrong room, this room is for Optimus 4X HD.
Anyway, assuming our devices run the same, you can always revert back to your original ROM by flashing it manually through KDZ updater or something like that.
The message telling your device isnt registered has got nothing to do with your phone performance, only you wont be able to get OTA update (which you can always manually flash)

Hi, guys. I have the canadian Lg optimus 2x
tired of the leggy stock 2.3.4 rom. Want to use ICS
Is there any really stable rom I can use?

According to the above post, the Canadian O2X is called P999 (G2X). Flashing a P990 ROM will likely cause a brick to your device.

That's not necessarily correct... Canadian O2X may very well be P990hn (you can still get it today from Fido), which works just fine with any P990 ROM. P999 is another model for AWS frequencies used by Wind in Canada.

I am not sure what you mean by "not supported"... True, V30 (either A or B) has not been officially released for Canada (or North America, for that matter), but both versions actually work in Canada. V30B (unlike V30A) doesn't have a Canadian English language option, but US English is still there. I am currently running a clean stock V30B, and I am happy with it. However, I would refrain from recommending a particular ROM, as it's mostly a personal choice...
