Software update | Directly from phone

Hi All,
I had read somewhere that the LG optimus black phone can do gthe software update directly from phone without connecting to the computer or downloading the software on PC and then upgrade. I have the original software version v10a on my mobil eand Iguess there are many updates from LG for this phone directly from LG.
Can someone please guide me on the update if it can be directly done from the phone, if that is not available then please guide me with the steps and location from where I can get the latest software version and also know about the new features/ benefits available with these new software versions.
Thanks

Yes, optimus black supports ota updates (over the air).
Try to go in settings--->info ... first voice should besoftware update

Thanks for the reply but I am not able to find info under settings :-(.

settings > about > update

You should find it the menu too....kinda of a blue icon (phone update)

If your software is branded, they may have got rid of this option.

yeah im from india aswell and i also dont have the update software option in my phone ...
i looked at difference between vanilla software and branded software ...
the article i read said that i cant update my phone software if my phone has branded software .
is this true?
i had no idea that my phone had branded software ,i bought it straight from the dealer . he did not inform me about this? damn .
please please someone tell me that i can update my phone software in spite of it having branded software?

Yeap, I bought it from the dealer and it seems to be a branded software. I have rooted the phone also. Any steps for me to see this hidden option on my branded software?
Thanks

That's not necessary true. I bought mine in the United States from Amazon.com, it was unlocked (no brande) and I couldn't find that option also.
Is there any other way to find it? Maybe it depends on the support of LG World application? (Because in Venezuela says that there's not support for this)

v10a and v10d don't have any "Software Update" application.. I flashed v10e and it does have a "Software Update".

Same for me. Purchased an unbranded phone, came with the v10a firmware. Updated via the Pc tools to v10d. Neither had the update icon inside the phone. Manually updated to v10e via the KDZ method, and the icon showed up.

same for me, came with the v10f firmware and there is no Software Update option...

just use LG Suite for updates

the strange thing is that the "cheese"function was only available in 10f. I guess 10e could be exaclty like 10f but since is for Indian, they are just calling it 10e for some reason

Where do you find those link in LG website? Is there a oficial link where you can always check the latest FW ?

when i bought the phone it was on 10c and has cheese option in camera
and updated to 10f and i have it again

Indonesia also just receive update V10E this morning. Total 453 MB must be download via PC.
I think this update is for all East Asia countries, with reference from LG India release.
Still 4.0.3 thought.

I dont think there will be a 4.0.4 , i think when Lg update the 4X HD,it will be directly to jellybean.
Why is this update not available throu OTA? I thought all ICS devices would have the hability to update itself to OTA.
[Question]: Does this phone have a FW autoupdate function (when available) ?

Thailand'firmware was updated to V10E too.

A user from Malaysia in O4X FB group reported he can update via OTA, only 30MB.
Yes this phone have auto update notification, you can find app Software Update in tray, there's schedule date for checking new update on server.
Unfortunately we can't change the schedule date, but we can force manual check.

Battery life
Any improvements in Battery life..
Despite the update is 400mb+ it brings only cheese fn & other blah blah here & there!!! V need improvements along with the updates...insane LG...

Good job with LG developer to update the software.I hope to improve the OS and will be HD

[Q] Device not registered yet

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.

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...

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)

If someone have an idea.

Germany recevied V10H OTA just now
updated from V10F

Yes, I have just update my device. But at the reboot (once I have updated), there is another software update aviable. Then, I find the ox13e error, as ilan_75 said...
This message appears: "Your phone is in rooting condition" (or something similar), "so you can't update. Conect to LG Suite and recover your device" (something similar).
Even so, I have look at my version software and I see "LG-P880-V10h-NOV-19-2012"

Restore some of the stock LG apps, that should make OTA work again.

I got the OTA also today. I unfroze all apps but still got that error. Should I unroot first then?
Edit: Never mind, rebooted once and tried again and works now, my fault.
Doesn't work after all, even did an unroot.. I think I'll just use the kdz updater.

Yeah, i flash v10h yesterday by using PC Suite. No Problem with rooting again or anything else,
BUT still autofocus and kamerasounds on silent/vibrate mode :laugh:
Damn, LG..

Updating via OTA didn't work for me either. I tried restoring all apps that I had removed, tried a rootkeeper and unpimped my rom... 0x13E
Updating via PC Suite does work, but having to resort to Windows and re-rooting is quite annoying .

OTA just reccived in sweden 2

The firmware is the same, but some of the europe open devices in Germany didn't had the update yet (via OTA) while others had it.
And afaik there are unbranded devices which are not registered as euro open, but as german. The firmware is/was the same. These devices had the FW Update a few days ago already. (Therefore most perople asked if the German FW is Euro Open.)
Don't blame me for this, I don't know why LG does this.

Also you can check in your phone in update center, settings-about phone. however OTA update will not work if you have root-ed your phone but for upgrading you can still use LGMobile Support Tool with computer.
For your version there still are no any info just that next to get update is D415.

once you've hard reset your device, the default language was russian. just change it
