Download here.
http://www.lg.com/uk/support/mc-support/mobile-phone-support.jsp
Input model "p970", then click the boxes WINDOWS USB DRIVERS and SOFTWARE UPDATE. They are download links.

thx guys.....
But I ran into another problem....
I was able to update (thx to your help ) but the update was to 2.2.2 not 2.3 as i had hoped....
I made a nandroid backup but now I can't reboot to recovery to get to it without rooting the current version.....
Can you please tell me how to downgrade, to root it or how to boot to recovery?
It tried one touch and gingerbreak, but they just stop responding or force close...
Ps: Can you hold home and power to take a screenshot in froyo 2.2?
Thx in advance...

Come on, there are answers for all your questions in this forum. Just search it.
You can downgrade by KDZU, root all available versions by BlackJack and you NEED root to install CWM to restore nandroid backup.
More here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1111771
1. Flash firmware (KDZU or R&D Test Tool) version that you have on nandroid backup.
2. After flashing make Hard Reset (3845#*970#).
3. Root by BlackJack (it roots possibly all available firmware versions so far)
4. Install CWM from UPK or download ROM Manager from Market and install CWM from there.
5. Boot into Recovery (CWM) wipe all (data, cache, dalvik, battery) and restore nandroid backup.
6. Reboot

The gingerbread update comes on the 28th, like you've said

I can help but there is a risk you might brick your phone but if you know how to recover from a bricked optimus 2x then youll be fine.
what you have to do first is download a p990 nvflash rom to wipe and repartition your phone into P990 configuration.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1715272
after installing the NVFlash rom, install a P990 CWM recovery; make sure its 5.0.2.8 for P990. Find it in the forums.
then place this zip file on your phone via CWM then install it via CWM.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=27912487&postcount=31
after that, open /system/build.prop using a nice file manager like Astro file manager or Root explorer and edit
Code:
user.feature.lgdrm=true
into
Code:
user.feature.lgdrm=false
to enable media and stuff.
NOTE: There may be some times that your phone will suddenly black out, not work, or stuff. all you have to do is remove battery -> boot into CWM -> advanced -> reboot recovery and it will reboot normally.
So far, everything works with this method including STK (Sim tool Kit) BUT FM WILL NOT WORK because the SU660 does not have analog FM hardware.
ALSO: accelerometer seems glitched or inverted in some games. quite annoying. very hard to find a fix so if you can find a fix then maybe you can post here and help the SU660 community.

because the custom rom only replaces the system folder. the CWM recovery automatically checks all the patitrions to find out where to put the rom. that's why we need unique recovery for every kind of phone!

Need help on rooting

I want to root my LG OP Black P970 running official stock ICS 4.0.4. Can anyone share me the steps by step process. As I know there is no specific button to load the bootloader in this model.

You can try unlock root.
To have CWM, you must flash a patched v20 using smart flash tool.
Please read N00bys guide.

Did you have Clockwork ROM Manager (CWM) installed from the Play Store or manually? I wonder if you had the most current version?

I downloaded the latest free version of Rom Manager from play

this is because actual recoveries are incompatible with ICS firmwares and will brick your device if you try to flash a recovery. you may try this mod to unlock the bootloader for getting a working recovery

Help ??

Hello !!
I have a LG Thrill P925G Rooted + CWM Im getting tired of CWM and want to remove it ? is there any possible way i can remove it without bricking my phone ? I Want It To Go Back To Stock Everything
Please If Someone Can Help Me With This Situation
- ROM MANAGER IS NOT GOOD

Either flash back to stock using whatever tool you used to upgrade to ICS or you can try twrp recovery.
Twrp is my favorite. You can use the aio tool listed in the android development section to get to twrp. Doesn't list a stock recovery to flash in the aio tool.

[Q] LG P880 won't boot into CW Recovery Mode

I am trying to boot my LG P880 into CW Recovery Mode but when I turn off my phone and then press Volume Up + Power + Home it will boot into LG's recovery mode instead of CW recovery mode.
I have used adb to push cm-10.1.3-p880.zip into my phone's internal SD-card. I got no error when I pushed the .zip file to my phone but if I go to Computer -> LG P880 I will see a lot of folders (media, photos, videos etc.) but none of them is named sdcard.

If you mean to get into Cwm recovery there's no way without previous bootloader unlock and custom recovery install.
There are many tutorials for BL unlock. For me the fastboot way didi the trick.

I have unlocked the bootloader and installed ROM Manager. ROM Manager says I need root which I don't have.
In order to get root I need to get in to CM recovery mode, but in order to get in CM recovery mode I need to have root. WHAT THE ****?!

You do not need CWM to root your phone. Here is a link to a tutorial. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2180688
Btw to boot into recovery you have to press VOL Down + Power Button until the LG logo appears and then release the Power Button.

Please do yourself a favour and forget about ROM Manager. Read a bit instead. It makes everything easier.

I am so confused. I have adb set up and it finds my device.
I have pushed the ROM (cm-10.1.3) to the /sdcard/ directory on my device.
After that I unlocked the bootloader and I think it removed the ROM from /sdcard/?
I now managed to get root.

you have to do it this way:
unlock BL
install custom recovery
flash custom rom
root (most ROMs are pre-rooted)

I have unlocked bootloader.
Installed a custom recovery app.
I ran the app and chose "recovery mode". It asked for superuser permissions which I accepted. The phone just restarted.
I tried to do it again and the phone restarted but got stuck on the LG logo.

Don't know what you did but you probably messed something regarding your bootloader/root access.

Where do I find the KDZ for CyanogenMod?

There's no kdz for cm, cause it's the file extension for original lg ROMs. You have to install a stock Rom then unlock your bootloader and then proceed.
C'mon you should read and search.

I have been reading extremely much about this **** today and there is no a single guide that guides you through every step on how to install a custom ROM. There are millions of guides everywhere that just confuses you extremely much.
Can you please link a guide that works and has all the steps in it? I'm so ****ing frustrated right now.

search for a guide to unlock bootloader, then for custom recovery and then for root/custom rom? So many user on here did it before you, so you'll get it as well.

Before I could unlock the bootloader without any problem.
I just installed Jelly Bean on the **** phone again in order to get it out from brick mode.
Current version is 4.1.2, the adb finds the device but when I type "adb reboot oem-unlock" the phone restarts and gets stuck on the battery logo.
What in the actual **** is this ****? Why is it always like this?!

I didn't eve read of something like this but there are a few other guides. XDA is not a helpdesk but we'll try to help you if your patient enough to try at least every guide on here and search properly.
