I am wondering why I cannot update with the official desktop updater. Its pissing me off but everytime I go to load the thing it will start for a second then say Update failed" and then says
You should run this update as an administrator.
I AM THE ADMIN! I am the ONLY user on this forsaken laptop. Palm support is useless, and didnt tell me anything. I tried it on my desktop as well. Can someone PLEASE actually help and respond to this thanks
double post??
what OS are you using on your laptop? There may be issues with Vista. Try changing compatibility to XP sp2, run as administrator.
Just a suggestion as I really have no clue otherwise.
Try the SD card update if still not working (search forum)
Good luck
When I try to open Kies on my PC I get the following message. "Cannot set Owner property to a Window that has not been shown previously"
This problem has only started today and I had not done anything to course it.
I have tried reinstalling Kies but I still get the same message.
Any help will be thankful for.
are you using Windows 7 ?? try to run KIES as administrator, if that fails, try running in compatibility mode, like xp or summit.
weird problem, also check you have latest version
Yes Windows 7. I always run a administrator. Have downloaded latest Kies since this problem started.
Anyway thanks for your help.
I don't know what happened but all of a sudden Kies is now working again.
My thanks to those who looked in. I just hope that it stays working OK.
windows 7 has that problem for me to..
Ive been wondering how to get back to stock rom with the Smart Flash but the steps arent very clear.Hopfully someone can help me
Your model is a LGP990HN.
If you are flashing stock, why not use the official KDZ with LG R&D Test Tool?
Tutorial is here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1327929
Use your carrier KDZ flash file (FIDO LGP990HN V21b): http://csmg.lgmobile.com:9002/swdata/WEBSW/LGP990HN/AFIDDW/V21B_00/V21B_00.kdz
Does it matter if my phone is already rooted to the computer? I rooted it to the computer but it doesnt work it only charges and plus is this the orgnial one i dont get the steps canada still has froyo so do i download that please help
Bro please help when i do all the step the last part goes to 15% then it said failed commucation with phone please connect .. and my firmware update driver says install failed.
No, it doesn't matter if your phone is rooted, I've done myself here and it works, but you loose root.
You didn't give more details, is your phone bricked? Did you tried a hard reset?
If you have problems with the drives, I suggest you to uninstall LGMobile update, download usbdeview and remove everything with LGE on the drive description, reinstall LGMobile update and try again.
Also, make sure USB debugging is checked under development menu.
bricked as in ? and it my phone work pefectly fine i just wanna retore it with out any rooting or cm7 etc but like i did all the steps but like the hardware driver thing it said failed to install but i dont think that really important but when i actaully finish the step it only goes to 15% then pop up amd says phone connection failed or not connect please press restart.
I'm incountering the same issue as this. Can anyone help me to resolve this issue?
Hi everyone, I really need your help. I have basically bricked my phone but it is not beyond hope as some things seem to be working.
What I did:
I used ROM Manager to boot into a boot screen. I was very turned around and confused and I did not have Clockwork Mod on my CM9 phone, as I thought and I'm really not sure why I thought this was the right thing.... In that boot screen I flashed a TWRP recovery file (http://goo.im/devs/tonyp/P990-stuff/TWRP).
What happens now:
I get a white logo and then the phone turns "on" but on is only a white logo with a little splash of purple behind it (like 2cm long). This "on" state the touchscreen is sensitive insofar as if you touch it when it dims the brightness will jump back up again. That's it though. If I plug the phone into the computer (win7) the pc will ding ding and sometimes it says it installed properly, sometimes not, either way it does not show up in My Computer as a device. If I run SmartFlasher on the pc and plug the phone in (in S/W Upgrade mode which it appears able to do), SmartFlasher will detect the COM Port.
What I already tried:
I tried to use SmartFlasher to flash a stock ROM I found (http://www.modaco.com/topic/350555-lg-optimus-2x-stock-rom-update/) but I received a very non-helpful error that just says "type mismatch error". I tried another file, can't remember what it was or where I found it, but I got the mismatch error also. I also tried to update the phone via the LG Mobile Tool. It finds the phone, installs drivers, etc, even lets me open the update thing but then during the process it says it can not communicate with the phone and it is aborted.
Any ideas?? I can't afford a new/used phone... There must be some way to salvage this...?
Use this tool to solve your problems http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2020737 ..... And as you have the old bootloader, so make sure you flash all files for old bootloader only and not new one....
And also make sure to read the instructions given in tool manual...

Thank you! I will do this in a few hours on my break and see where I get
Ok...so I had to do a LOT of stuff w/n that tool that did not work before I managed to get anywhere...but I got somewhere! yay!!
The phone now boots into TWRP v2.5.0.0. The next step is to flash a ROM because there is no o/s installed. Before I go any further I'd like to know, should I use the stock ROM or should I use the files from ParanoidAndroid 2.6 (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2097807 -- the link you gave me the other day).
Stock ROM sucks..... Use Paranoid Android... You won't regret it ...

Unfortunately more problems lol I was able to get it on there without problem. However I can not connect to my cell provider. The APN listing is blank and even if I manually enter and select save it does not save it, the list stays blank.
So, next I tried the most stable release of CM just to get this f'ing thing working. It went through and said it was successful but when I boot the phone up it is still Paranoid Android...which I don't mind except the APNs are still blank and my phone is still useless.
Any idea what I should do next? I tried searching for this APN problem and I tried two APN apps from marketplace, neither worked. I think the solution is to clear the phone and do another flash but that does not seem to be working...
If I remember correctly, some people had this APN problem but I NEVER had it... They solved it by manually inputting the APN... But seems you are having some weird problems as it doesn't even save the APN.... Try again inputting APN manually and save it properly ..... If it doesn't save then try CM 10.1 from link I gave earlier.... That is also a cooooool and smoooooth ROM with many more features ....
And make sure you install a new ROM only after a full wipe and also system format after taking backups of your apps, etc obviously ....

When I tried to install the newest stable CM I did do a full wipe (according to the TWRP v2.5 ). That's why I don't know what to do now. I can't seem to get Paranoid Android off / change to a different ROM.
Any ideas?
Okay so I have put 3 different versions on now and they all look and work great...except no cell connection, no apn's. I saw some people fix this by replacing their BB via smartflash but I can not do that because I get timeout errors. Smartflash doesn't work at all. Neither does the LG Update tool from w/n that toolkit. The only thing that does work is flashing zip from sd card and changing the recovery image via adb in that toolkit. I can not find any methods of replacing the BB except via Smartflash.
If you get timeout errors in smartflash, then do this trick.... When you click "Start" in smartflash and the flashing process starts then immediately pull the battery back inside phone and then you shouldn't get timeout errors ..... This always works for me.....
nope...exactly the same:
00:00.0 Sec ownload Start...
00:02.0 Sec :RomBinary Download start
00:02.0 Sec SI RAM writing start
00:02.1 Sec :Trying to communicate with IFX modem
00:22.1 Sec :Timeout error is occured
00:22.1 Sec :error!
Try this... Use ORIGINAL LG USB Cable .... If you don't have it, then unmount all other USB devices from your computer and then try again with the cable that you have .....

I believe I've experienced something similar with smartflash. I got it to work again by uninstalling the LG-drivers, rebooting pc and installing the LG-drivers again. You could try the same

I live in Canada, my provider is Wind Mobile. This was originally a T-Mobile phone from the US. I bought it used, it was unlocked and running an older version of CM. The actual model number is P999DW
For convenience I just want to recap the issue:
I'm open to ALL ideas! On the all in one toolkit that I downloaded from the first reply only a few options work. The LG Update Tool and Smartflash...whether using them via the AIO toolkit or just using them independently always error out with some sort of communication based error. I can repartition and change the recovery image but that seems to be the only options that work from AIO toolkit. My understanding of the problem is that there is no, or an incorrect baseband file. The phone is behaving almost like a tablet. It won't search for networks and it doesn't even give me a SIM error, it's just not looking for it at all. I have formatted sys and repartitioned and wiped and re-flashed several different ROMs (Paranoid Android, stable CM, tonyp CM 10.1, etc) but this problem remains.
What? Do u have a P999? I'm not sure, but I don't think that P990 ROM will work correctly on it... In fact it shouldn't even install as the updater script checks whether the phone is P990 or not.... And if it isn't then it should show error and not flash the ROM... Did you change the updater script line to P999 instead of P990 to make it work...

I didn't do anything different. The P999 is just the T-mobile version and P990 is the International/Rogers/etc version. It was previously running CM so I don't really think that is the problem. http://forum.cyanogenmod.org/topic/37457-p999-vs-p990/ The only errors I am getting are communication errors between the PC and the phone...not version related errors.
I would happily put the stock P999DW kdz file on if I could but the only method I know to do that (LG Update Tool via that AIO toolkit) does not work because it is timing out.
Okay so everything on my phone before and also now says it is an Optimus 2X. I started searching after your last comment and does this mean I have a Optimus G2X? F'd up...even the battery says it is a P990 Optimus 2X. Gonna see if I can find any NVflash ROMs for that one since nvflash method is working.
Use this link to download latest Official firmware for your phone
http://csmg.lgmobile.com:9002/csmg/b2c/client/auth_model_check2.jsp?esn=[IMEI]
Replace [IMEI] with your IMEI in the link...
OR
Download firmware from here ... It also gives list of official links .... There are P990, P999, SU660,P990HN firmwares with different countries listed...
http://lg-phone-firmware.com/index.php?id_mod=3
Try to flash it as KDZ (or) extract .bin & .fls files from it using AIO Toolkit and then Smartflash those two files ... If you want to flash only baseband then .fls one is the baseband ....
I'm telling to do this because it may be possible that you are trying to flash wrong KDZ or wrong baseband and that's why, may be, you are not able to do it ....
If you flash v30 firmware then your bootloader will, most probably, be changed to new one .... So consider that in mind also before flashing .....
Or a better solution ..... Natalya said that he/she might be knowing the solution to your problem... So try to consult for that also....
Again, there is a dedicated development for P999 also on CyanogenMod apart from P990 http://get.cm/?device=p999 ...

You just got a bit ahead of me in writing this comment ... I couldn't see it before writing my reply .... So one of the methods for confirming your phone is to look beneath your phone battery on the phone and another is to go to the first link I gave above and insert your IMEI also there in the link and then see what firmware download link LG returns .... Phone model will be also written in the download link, so you can check there also....
Okay so I was using EPRJ CM10.1 rom with kholk's 3.4 kernel. It was all good until yesterday, when suddenly mobile data stopped working totally (I did not try anything funny btw). Usually a reboot does the trick, but this time, the problem persisted through numerous reboots and it never recovered. So I decided to do a factory reset, no change. Do a reflash of kernel, no change. Do a reflash of ROM, no change. At the setup wizard after I keyed in my google account, it showed
"Couldn't sign in
Can't establish a reliable connection to the server. This could be a temporary problem or your android device may not be provisioned for data services. If it continues, call Customer Care." no matter with mobile data or wifi.
I have tried flashing other ROMs and kernels but this problem persisted. I'm afraid I might need to follow their instructions and call customer care.. Does anyone have a possible solution? I tried flashing firmware, but it just won't flash as the application hangs after 'launch software upgrade' is clicked.

Every Linux system (which the android is based on) has a kernel ,, every kernel has its own modules (A loadable parts that is loaded every reboot ,, located in /system/lib/modules ,, with extend of *.ko) .
One of these modules is the WiFi module . and this MUST be compatible with the kernel . So your problem is related with that module .
You can try flash a custom ROM ,, Then the kernel .
Because the ROM.zip contains the modules while the kernel.zip contains the kernel with its modules . the kernel.zip will replace your current modules with its own modules .
Or you can simply reflash your phone

Flashed in all sequence possible, still same problem. One thing is, when I bypassed the setup, wifi was able to work to connect to the internet, but mobile data still doesn't work.

Like I've stated I'm unable to flash firmware. The program stops responding after unpacking KDZ. Tried reinstalling everything, drivers and all but no change.

Try LGFlash Tool (I'm getting tired of repeat myself...).
But the .kdz flash program can stop for several reasons not related with the phone.
Read the tutorial again, maybe you miss some step. Happends sometimes...
All of that I did

For me, LG flash tool doesn't have action mode, so I can't use it. I've already memorized the procedures... googolchecked the tutorials... nothing was missed. It's really weird.

Listen, if you can't make LGFlash Tool works, it will be a little hard to rollback...
Sometimes the tool don't work because something is missing on the computer. Last issue that I know was because
the user didn't have Visual C++ installed... (at least that was reported...).
I don't know if its really needed cause I have it because of Nero Burning... but, having LG PC Suite installed should be
enough.
You tried other computer?
Or you can try LG PC Suite in "mergency & recovery" mode, if it stops before finish the process, start "UpTestEX_mod2_marwin" and
flash with .kdz ( I made it once like that...).
Good luck on that.

I tried it on another machine and flashing KDZ worked. Then a factory reset did the trick. Thanks for your suggestion!
