Hi all,
I tried the cyanogenmod 7.1 but reinstalled an original rom after a while again. Now my phone says I have 2.2.2 with baseband 20110725, kernel 2.6.32.9 , the version is V10b. I remember there was an update to V10d during summertime. I'd like to have the V10d back... if I use the update-tool it says there is no update available and says I have the v10D version , but on the phone it says v10b ??? Can't follow anymore any suggestions how to get the v10d through update ?
Is it necessary to have the v10d if gingerbread ever comes out , or can it update from 10vb to gingerbread as well ?
Cheers !
Denis

BIN_LGP990AT-00-V10d-NEU-XXX-JUL-25-2011+0
but when checking phone settings, it still says v10b ?

Yeah. The settings/about menu will show you the version of the installed ROM, which is still 10b. The LG Update tool checks the version of the baseband, which in your case is newer. (You can see that version in the Hidden Menu, Version Info, Factory Version.)
To update through the LG Update tool you first need to flash an OLDER baseband, then the tool will let you uprade.
(Or you can smartflash an older baseband+rom, to make sure your phone is in a factory state, with stock recovery and no root before upgrading.)
indeed ! but I've figured out that I only flashed the basband and now I just flashed the .bin file too (the rom) and now I've got the V10d back !

Ah, yes ;-) Assuming the ROM you want is already available in a file, that's another way to do it
I found the list with corresponding countries/ROM versions, then it was a piece of cake. Now it's tempting to try the cmod 7.1 again for a bit longer now I found out how to flash

My O2x self bricked after an OTA update (from 10b if I recall correctly). I did not prior to this event flash any other ROM or BB, I just rooted it and everything was working fine. The update downloaded, said it was ready to update, the phone rebooted and then just locked up on "updating software". My friend has an identical P990 and everything went well for him...
I had to reflash the whole phone using USB cable in recovery mode by downloading the 10b stock firmware. After this, the phone won't update itself and if I manually click on the software update it says it's up to date, while my friend received the latest update to 10d. Currently my phone (unbranded) is:
BB v 622 (1035.21_20110622)
kernel 2.6.32.9
Build FRG83G
LGE version LGP990-V10b
Additionally I installed clockworkmod (after bricking) to backup all my phone and then reflashed the stock recovery partition that I found online. Also, I currently can no longer list any "secured" apps from the Android marketplace.
I'd like to bring my phone back to stock situation (which I thought it was) so I downloaded the latest stock (10d) in kdz format from the lg site but before wiping everything again I'd like to know what the hell is going on with my phone and why I see no secured apps and why I get no OTA updates... maybe I can avoid reflashing the phone from scratch.
Thanks for any pointers!
The version of the baseband you are using does not match with the V10B firmware. The update tool then believes you have another firmware version installed.
Thanks for the heads up! What version of baseband should I be using? Or would it be better for me to downgrade the rom? Quicker to change BB I reckon...
i think it is 405 you need to use with 10b
I tried searching for the 405BB but couldn't find it... only the 622 or 725 apparently - does anyone have any link to download the BB aligned to the v10b ROM?
here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1008070
I flashed 405BB but when I went to download OTA updates it said it wasn't a valid update package after it downloaded it and quit. To fix it I completely flashed stock 10a and did all the updates until 10d and now it has BB 1035.21_20110725.
I have my data.img partition saved with CWM but before restoring it and wiping the stock recovery for CWM I'd like to save it: anyway I can make an img out of the stock recovery partition of this version for safety with adb? As it pulls or pushes files or apks, I was wondering if there was a utility to create a partition image of the stock recovery and save that... I found a stock recovery img but I don't know if the image is up to date with this version (10d).
Thanks for the help!

there are many stock roms for p990, and the instruction for flash it
Hi all!
Few days ago i updated my lg p990 via LGMobile update service to 2.3.4 Gingerbread V20m with no problems. I`m from Serbia btw. Then i rooted my phone and installed clockwork recovery to backup my rom. I made a mistake to do that after i performed root so now when i restore my rom the phone is rooted again and i can`t use update utility anymore! It says my model is not suported. I then used SuperOneClick to unroot and r1-stockrecovery-2x-unsigned zip to remove recovery and it did that but still can`t update or restore original stock V20m rom with update utility. I even managed to install V20l ROM and baseband via Smartflash and offcourse still no update posibility and "not supported model" message. Yesterday i downloaded from XDA, Netherland stock V20m but, guess what, still not supported. Can anyone tell me how to or what to do to make my phone update officialy again with LG tool. THNX in advance

Well you have go download correct files. I don't remember very well where the download location is.
But I have managed to do full installation of original lg software over the cyanogenmod.
There is a step by step guide on this forum how to do this.
I am from Croatia and after that my phone accept automaticly update.
Now I am on Cyanogenmod because it is so much better than stock.

I downloaded stock V20m rom from http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1035041 and still not supported with update. Can u please find what u did and post here!? I don`t know what i didn`t try and nothing worked so far. And i have GPS isue so i have to restart phone with gps ON and then it works. I didn`t have that problem when i updated to V20m first time. I have read that it`s a problem on V20l but not on V20m. U said u use custom rom!? Is everything working properly!? No workarounds to make something work like this GPS problem!?
I`m from Serbia, I made a backup with nandroid on my LG P990 , after that i`ve updated using kdz to v20m version. As i had some problems i flashed back the v20l i had via clockworkmod. Now i have unrooted my phone, connected to pc, fired up the updater, and it says that i have the latest v20m, duobble checked the phone, it reports v20l. How could i force the updater to perform the update to v20m ?

You need to flash an older baseband.
Flashed 1035.21_20110614 baseband. Now the phone reports LGE version v20l, but the LGMobile Support Tool is reporting Version V10C, and says that the cell phone is the latest version already, and that i dont need to update.
Is this means, that for my phone the latest update is V20L ?
Thanks.

I'm on V20g here in the UK so I would of thought that if your phone say V20L you will have the most upto date rom.
I have just checked and there is no updates for me either saying my phone is upto date.
Most probably i will have to wait for an update. Tried to flash the v20q.kdz tried both methods, with and without http server. It is always asking for internet connection... Now flashed another baseband, updater reports v10d phone reports 1035.21_20110725 iirc this baseband version is in v20l. I desperately want to solve the GPS lock problem, but maybe i still have to wait. Unless i try to flash the V20M via clockwork, i`ve done before, but i dont remember is it working there.
Hello, I'd like to update my phone using Smartflash.
I have an official V20B rom which is rooted. I would like to install a new official rom but i'm completely lost when it comes to choosing the right version !
Where can I get the official V20S stock rom (which can be installed with smartflash)
Also, is there any official ICS rom ? (same, for smartflash), if so, is it fully stable ? Where can I get it ? (LG Mobile update says my phone is up to date... Huh)(I have read that you need to change the boot partition or something like that with ICS roms, is it valid for official ICS roms from LG too ?).
Do I have to unroot my phone before installing a new rom with Smartflash ?
Thanks.

1. Make sure that you have P990.
2. V20B should be a gingerbread.
3. If you read one post below yours, you could’ve find exactly what you ask official ICS for smartflash.
Cheers.

I actually have V10B sorry !
I will update via LG Tools with the kdz instead of smartflash. Is there anything to do specifically to keep my data in the phone or is it saved automatically in the LG Tools update process ?
Thanks

I think updating via LG Tool doesn't erase data on your phone... however I would strongly advise you to synchronize your contacts with gmail and backing up you apps with titanium backup in an external sd card.
Update via LG Tool didn't erase my data when I went from 2.2 to 2.3

Yes, flashing kdz do not wipe anything.
