I did that.. and it doesn't work. Says I'm on the latest firmware. But I'm on 2.2.2 I've been trying to update for over a week now with no success.

Have you changed the baseband?

No. How do I do that?

Come on stop blurring his mind...
If lg update tool doesn't upgrade you're phone, there must be a reason.. And baseband shouldn't be changed as it is one of the things lg tool looks at to search if upgrade is necessary.
But the best way to upgrade is to root your phone, instal clockwork mod recovery, then finally the ROM you want, even Ics 4.0.3 is available...
Just look and read threads in stickies to have info, and a guy recently made a thread in general section I think to explain how to do that.
The best deep way to learn is to search and experiment..

Wow this is the first time I hear the 2.2.1 firmware is official, because you say you have it on a new Galaxy..
Anyway, on my JPY I used superoneclick and it worked like magic.
Just search this forum for SuperOneClick, and follow the instructions in the author's thread.
I just downloaded program, put my phone in USB debug mode, connected phone, launched SUperOneClick, pressed Root button, and that was about it...

So this means netherlands will get this update soon!!! Yeah!
Sent from my GT-I9000 using XDA App
u use odin? try using hardcore's kernel K12A. Flash it with odin, and go into recovery. One of the option is to install superuser (root).
Er, just curious, what's your build prop? Can let us know?
Yep. got my phone today from virgin and I can't root it either!
Just ran benchmark score @ 1232
really? xD the two persons that have the "JPW" only they have writen 1 message........... I think they are trolls, but...

Bricked p990HN

Hey everyone I bricked my brand new optimus 2x I got from fido because I thought it would use the same themes as the p990 on this forum. Is there any way I can recover this?
Bricked ??? With just a theme ???? I think the sentence "bricked" is just too strong !!!!
Whatever... Which ROM do you use ? Just reflash it, and averything should be okay.
Don't you have a cwm backup ???
it's still on the stock rom, I just need someone to give me a stock rom file I believe to reflash. I don't have a backup....
You'll find original O2X firmwares here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1035041
And... May I ask why you don't want to install some custom ROM ? (just curiosity)
O I just didn't feel comfortable doing anything major to my phone yet so I wanted to try a basic theme for now.
I don't see a p990hn there yet so I guess I have to wait till the stock rom gets released?
Well...
If u'r about to flash an original firmware, it's already an high level action.
Moreover, if your phone is actually unusable, you'd better flash a firmware, even if this one is older than your's.
I must confess I switched to custom ROM as soon as I received my O2X, so I'm not confident with original firmwares.
You'll find many tutorials all around the net, or even here (also have a look at modaco's forum).
If I can give you an advice, switch to an alternate rom. Tutorials are clear, and they brings so much power.
As an example, I'm actually running Cyanogenmod, latest nightly build.
Android version is 2.3.5 which the latest one available. You won't find it on officials firmwares.
You can't theme a stock ROM, that's where you went wrong.
ahh that makes sense, I got a replacement phone from fido today since it's only been a day.
I think I'm going to wait until people confirm that the p990HN is the same as the normal p990 before I do anything else.

I've a tutorial to repair a brick p990 and i think that work for p990hn, but it's in italian. Try to translate it with google translate or something like that.. i can't translate it 'cause i'm going to work. Search with google "brick lg dual come riportarlo in vita"
Remember that the tutorial is made for italian firmware, so u must search a firmware for your country.
I hope it helps, tell me if it works.
I have the O2X from Fido. I flashed FR19 and I haven't had any issues.
yea you cannot brick a phone just with a theme! .. install a custom rom like cyanogen or you can download the stock rom too from somewhere in the net!
P990HN and P990 are one and the same.
I have a P990HN from Fido and have been running custom GB roms for months now.

Help me to get GB and newr ones... PLEASE

Being noob doesnt mean u ll get a step by step guide, so do some reading pls. If you want a custom rom, also go to first thread, download the pack, use blackjack to root or search for root v10x where x is your version and then use CWM.exe (or similar) to install CWM or do it by RomManager! Then download a custrom from Dev Section and havbe fun

U CANNOT overclock V20n! You need Nova ROM to do this, and this is only 2.2... So better think about it again Root your phone now, and then install Zeus, it is v20n, but modified, to be faster...
