GB for UK Optimus Black? - LG Optimus Black

Hey there,
So last I checked there was still no official release of the V20 firmware for Gingerbread on the LGP970 for UK networks. Does anyone know why? Are there still plans to release it?
I've held out on flashing my phone and manually installing one of the other official releases, because it looks quite tricky. If I do flash myself, any recommendations on which region's firmware to install?
Many thanks in advance,
J

Same here (Brazil). None of the operators have the V20 upgrade, just the open units (directly from LG).
My CP is from TIM Brasil and I have flashed the Brazil Open version. I've been having no problems whatsoever.

[Q] European Firmware on Asian SGS?

Hey guys!
Just wanted to know if it's possible or okay to flash an Asian based SGS with European software...I was interested in checking out the beta releases with Froyo but they're only available as European firmware.
My phone was purchased from the US but it was apparently sourced from Singapore since it had Singtel stuff on it. I flashed it to generic Asian firmware and then updated it with Samsung KIES which gave me the Asian firmware upgrade (DXJG4) free from Singtel customizations (yay!)
And another question...which firmware do you guys recommend to stick with until Froyo is officially released? Like which firmware do you guys experience the least "black screens" or stalling/lag? I don't want to be installing random fixes just yet so I was hoping there's a firmware out there that has less or none of these issues.
Thanks in advance!

You can, just avoid the US/i9000M/i9008/Korean ROM's. But with XXJG1-JG5 roms on my singtel, I found the GPS didn't pick up a single sat.
I recommend XXJM5 currently.. GPS is usable (but still drifts, and doesn't respond when making sharp corners well), and everything which works on other roms seems to still work.
In regards to Froyo, don't bother. It's a fun play for a short time, but there are very few benefits, and plenty of serious disadvantages still (because JP1-JP3 still are in an early testing stage).
Also, it isn't known how service centres deals with flashing other regions firmware (and if they care enough to cancel warranty).
I also have an Asian SGS and im wondering if w/c is better JG5 or JM2.. Im still on our latest official firmware at JG4
can anyone share their experience of using european firmwares on asia models. i want to know too

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.

froyo 2.2.2 newest version?

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
so i need help upgrading to GB

n7000 region and unbranded help

Hey, my n7000 is shows germany in region, and now its on 2.3.6. i'm from israel and like to know if i should change the region for updates? is there a international region?
b.t.w the phone is simfree
If you want OTA or updates over Kies you need to install the proper Rom for your country.
You can find here

iirc, german models were one of the fastest to get updates.
more importantly, tell us which version your device is currently running. if its already on the latest version then its pointless to waste time swapping regions and wiping your device.
its the latest for now
android 2.3.6
baseband xxlb2
kernel xxlc1

Help with a G Note XXLRK

Hi guys,
I buyed a G Note with this baseband: N7000XXLRK. Looking in the internet, some sites said this is Germany version, is that correct?
And, im from Brazil, i want to install the stock ROM from my country, could someone tell which ROM i should install? (Just link to thread, and i will search it) or i need a 4.1.1-4.1.2 ROM with full Galaxy Note features and Brazilian language.
I looked in the N700 Al stock ROMS but didn't find a compatible one
Thanks :good:

My phone was on LRK but I'm from the UK
Mine was From Italia, i changed to LRK because Germany always gets the updates first (at least for note, or at least the last 3 major updates) and I'm from Venezuela..
I see no point on changing roms to brasil or any south American carrier.. They get the updates months after the official its released...

There is no official jb out yet, we're still waiting. There are leaked source jb roms which are as close to stock as possible like lsa or lsc but they still have bugs.

Btw, official jb is likely to be released soon, like within a month unless Samsung do as they did with ics and run over again, but judging by the leaks, that's doubtful I'd say.
