Hi everybody
I'm from Italy but I own a device imported from Holland (NLD) and doesn't seem it's going to get V20l update within few days. Is it possible to flash italian official V20l firmware and then unroot the phone in order to get gingerbread installed as it was downloaded by LG tool? This would make my phone an italian one? I mean that the next time an update will be available will I be able to install automatically the italian update from Lg Tool?
Thanks
Kind Regards
Stefano

Yes. Or you can smartflash a completely stock 20L ROM, download it here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1035041

No. The update tool sends the IMEI to the update server(s), which looks it up in its database to determine which country was the point of sale/intended market.
So the phone will still be identified as NLD, no matter which ROM you flash. (It may be possible to go to a service-center and have the IMEI re-assigned to Italy, not sure.)

Hello everyone!
I've got a P990 with UK charger, but the box has "HKG" and "Certified for use in Hong Kong" printed on it.
When I try to update it with the LG Update Tool, it says it can not be updated, the phone is not supported.
- How can I find out, what is my phone's origin?
- How can I force a fully official update via LG updater? Is there a ROM, that I should flash before?
Thanks, Daniel

Are you on stock ROM? if NOT, you need to flash STOCK ROM first ( v10f FROYO Hongkong version), then you use the LG updater. as i can see in your signature, your on CM, you will not get any update.
Of course before the ROM update I've flashed back the stock rom. The Euro Open. That'S why I'm asking, which stock rom should I flash first.
Can I look it up based on the IMEI or the S/N?

You said that your phone is from Hongkong, so you need to flash the "original Hongkong Stock Froyo ROM" before using the LG Updater. Or you can the download the Gingerbread Hongkong Update from here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1035041 and use Smartflash http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1008070...

Yes, you can, there is a link floating round that you add your IMEI to and it'll give you a link.

This is not for P990,but I think you can use this with swapping only kernel (or boot.img).
Because of I can use p990 rom onto su660 with this way.

Any news about V20o???? There's a leak but no KDZ yet. The changelog is awesome.
If you can find anything please post it here.
Cheers!
My phone is Hong Kong Ox2. How do I install this Kernel without bricking my phone? It's rooted. Can I flash using CWM? Also, why can't I just update normally? Its says my phone is already updated. Whats wrong?

Kernel can be flashed through CWM. For Hong Kong the latest is v20d maybe that's why you can't update further.
You can, however, update using smartflash or flash KDZ files using the LG update tool. The latter doesn't wipe your device but both unroots and deletes CWM.

Hello guys,
I am from Greece and i am a new p990 user!
I bought my phone from Greece but the device was from Vodafone DE.
The gingerbread update is released.
My phone got s/w version V10E , still with Android Froyo 2.2.2.
I was trying to update it via LGMobile support Tool , but all the time i got the same msg : "The Cell phone is the latest version already. So you don't need to update."
Could you plz tell me what i could do? Is it possible to remove vodafone rom and replace it with a stock Gingerbread LG ?
Guide me plz...
Use this link http://csmg.lgmobile.com:9002/csmg/b2c/client/auth_model_check2.jsp?esn=IMEI_HERE
replacing IMEI_HERE with your own IMEI, it will tell you what version your phone should be.
Link seems to be broken...
i think i found a solution. Eventually Vodafone Germany got V10E as last version . Probably they are still without gingerbread. i took the decision to download from xda the gingerbread rom and trying a manual update on my phone.
Code:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1374063
there is a collection of kdz check on that.
Job done .. i flash it! F U Vodafone GERMANY ! now i got gingerbread!
Ty guys anyway!
Apparently i'm running the latest version 2.2.2 according to the update app. Is this right?
Handset is simfree and unbranded. would it have been better to be network branded?

Ok first of all you mean the app from the settings menu right? Secondly this is the latest froyo but the firmware has moved on to gingerbread 2.3.4. But i don't think you can do this update OTA(over the air). So you need lg update tool to update via pc connection. Hope i helped and sorry for this but before you post something do a search.. that is why there are forum rules. To obey them.

Fair play regarding the forum rules.
I've got the update tool installed on the pc stating. The Cell phone is the latest version already. So you don't need to update.
Country, uk
model lgp970
version v10b
Also pcsuite and all drivers installed,
It's a uk model, so can't as yet be upgraded by the lg tool

Nothing my friend. By the way you are lucky because whatever you choose surely will have english language.. do a little search and decide what is best for you. There is stock v20n rooted which is the european open. And there are some custom like zeus and marvel. Hope i helped.

Well, as far as i know LG programs can do that on pc. I have encountered one or two myself. I can't explain it. I don't know if yours is different. But my guess is there isn't a V20 rom released for your country. So check out this thread:

even if no rom released for my country the R&D should work but apparently it isnt
