Well since a few days i tried to upgrade my Lg P990 from V10D to V20l but the updater still shows that theres no update available for my phone. That cant be true because LG released Gingerbread for my country. I tried everything. I flashed back to V10B and upgraded via the Lg Updater to V10D ,but the Updater still shows no update. Then I tried to flash it via the kdz-method, but the kdz-updater got stuck and showed (no feedback). I really dont know what I´m doin wrong.
Would be great if anyone has an idea..

ok hi,
so: i flashed my device with europe open .
now i stuck while booting on first LG logo.
what do?
regards
edit 1: i can join the download mode while booting.
edit2: ok, i tried http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=804108 but my pc cant find the usb device so its not possible to flash the gt540 again cause of "none device found" @ kdz updater
Have you tried with english KDZ in download mode??
Hi,
ye i tried the english version.
Well, first, the download mode doesnt work at the first tests. I got some wired errormsg's while flashing at KDZ.
At the time between ur and mine post, i tried in cs_emergency and diag mode. Both options doesnt work because my pc stocked at "Start upgrade" message.
Well... however. I'm in downloadmode, and it seams it worked now.
i got the iParam messages and my LG boots and i see the android Logo.
i write in 5 mins the new status in a new post
thanks for this
WOW.
its fantastic. im back at home screen and got a few apps installed.
im really happy
but there is another problem:
i get _hundrets_ of force closes.
Is it possible to rebring the phone in fabric status? means all apps to zero and none user settings saved like wallpaper, installed apps and device settings?
thank u, really.
ah: im online with baltic black 2.1
You mean factory reset? You should do one after flash.

awesome.
****ing awesome
never seen this option cause it's in the catergory "privacy".
thank u so much. i was so near to cry
ok, before i flash it again. can i overwrite the baltic black with the europe open version without any problems or does i need to install or reinstall something?
Like U said U need ROM wt fastboot. Not only U had problems wt europe open, so U should try wt other one IMO.
BTW. nice 2 see U enjoying ^^

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.
hello everyone i seem to be one of the few thrill owners that still isnt able to update to gingerbread 2.3.5 yet. i have tried many times using the official lg update tool but i had no luck there and then i tried using other methods such as the lg kdz flasher tool that many people have posted but i wasnt able to use that either. I am on a windows 7 pc and have want to upgrade my thrill to gb so that i can use some of the great roms like mokee. please help me solve this problem its very frustrating and i want gingerbread!
Try Changing the LG applications Compatibility Mode to Windows Vista.
Did you try this

Try this
I had the same problem until today, i couldn't do the update.
Today i unlocked the phone and i was able to update at the first try. Maybe its gonna work for you too. I got the unlock code from ebay for 99cent.
Not Solved
im sorry to say that none of the solutions have worked so far. I still have yet to try the unlocking method though so i will let you guys know if this works.
I have the same problem and now my phone really screw up. I got stuck after it downloaded 420MB files then when flashing keep getting disconnect phone, reconnect etc...
So i just updated to V20 Europe Open following this tutorial and the update seemed to go through fine, rebooted, and new firmware installed. After finally setting up the phone as i like, i let it sit to synchronize all my contacts and what not. When i pushed the power button to wake up the phone, there were these random lines over the entire screen, look like blinds.
When i do a battery pull or reboot its back to normal, but everyime i let the phone sit for a couple of minutes and then wake it up, i get the same screen..
Ive attached two screen shots
Any ideas on how to fix this? Thanks.
I had the exact same problem, I didn't find any solution so I had to revert back to v10.
Which v20 did you install? The Portuguese one?

Use the same method that you use to roll back (LGFlash Tool) and install Euro_open V20A.
There is no difference between the euro and PT.

I tried the HK version as well, still having the issue. Do i just need to roll back to V10? Is it a software issue? How come very few people have it if all the versions are the same..?

Might just be a bad flash.
By flashing with LGFlash Tool you don't need to roll back.
Just make sure that you have official firmware, don't use leaked.
To be a hardware problem, you should have it in ICS too...

I tried 3 different routes to get V20A Euro installed, all the installs were successful but the screen issue is still there:
1. LG Flash Tool
2. KDZ_FW_UPD
3. Using LGKDZ hack and LG PC Suite
All of these successfully got V20A installed, but none solved the lines on the screen. I made sure to wipe before and after each install..
Any other ideas?
Perhaps screen is faulty ?

I had no issues when on V10H, and nothing happened to the phone during the upgrade, just remained on my desk. When i revert back to V10H i have no issues also. I tried LGFlashTool to roll back to V10H and now have LG PC Suite find and upgrade the phone on its own, will see if that makes a difference...
Thanks
I see...I ll inform a member in another forum whereas he had the same issue.

If after official upgrade doesn't work, I recommend you to take it to LG Service.

Same problem here. Not in such scale but I think it is the same. I had just bought the phone and when I did the update from the official site of LG te problem occured. I have sent the phone to service and I am waiting for it. Does anybody know if that phone has an international DOA??
Went to service, came back with the same problem. They had to replace it with a new one. I want risk to update again. Will stick with 4.0.
I just got a similar problem but much worse seen in the photo below attached my phone was working for a few weeks before this problem came as i was sat reading it, it just appeared while the screen was on. it also appears at boot and in cwm does this happen for you guys coz i think it's more a hardware problem for me.
Not sure what is causing it, but i went to 4 different repair stores, and none of them could figure it out. I sent it in for warranty, will report back what happens..
I had the same problem on my screen all the time , It's gone now for some reason, only thing i did is relocked the bootloader and unlocked it again since then it been running without any problems for almost a month now.
I remember i used the old method to unlock the bootloader , relocked it and i ran stock v20a(with locked bootloader) for like a month without any problems so i decided to try again , i used the official lg unlock method and now even on other roms it seems fine.
This bug is really annoying though hope ya'll get to fix it .
Try download an other v20 firmware, if that doesnt work, i can recommend superxe rom, its realy fast and stable.

I also think that it is a software problem because mine with the original Poland Rom 4.0 worked just fine.After one day of use I decided to upgrade to 4.1 from the original site of LG in Greece.this caused the problem.I believe that the flash caused some malfunction to the gpu.My cousin has the same exact phone for a year now but has never that problem.Maybe LG should give it a look because it seems pretty serious.

Hey Guys,
I was installing a weather widget for my O2X and he could'nt find my location.
So i tought I'll reboot my O2.
When i rebooted my phone, the touchscreen wasn't working anymore.
But before I reboot my phone it did.
So now when I turn on my device it boots, and I can see everthing : Statusbar, Lockscreen etc.
But when I try to unlock it it's not responding to my touch.
So i did a full wipe and installed the ROM again but, it wasnt working again.
So then I downloaded CM10.1 for my phone and flashed it but still not working.
Anyone got and idea?
Greetings, Hammief
Exactly what happened to me
Same thing has happened to me
I have the Wind Optimus 2x. So it will be different then what other have experienced.
Basicly I had the latest CM7 installed and I wanted to upgrade to ICS so I used the tool to repartition the device. I got ICS installed fine but the screen doesn't work anymore. I flashed back to stock with nvflash perfect and but screen doesn't work at all.
If anyone can look into these touchscreen problems or has any experience it would be appreciated.
it seems that is not problem in hardware, the problem is in software...
please try to do full wipe in recovery than try, maybe is virus, or something else
