Hey guys,
I bought a Nexus one few weeks ago.
When I switch on it and connected to my wifi, it automatically updated to Gingerbread 2.3.3
But still i cant update it to 2.3.4
I went to settings>about phone> system updates but update is not available.
I tried manually updating using the zip file downloaded from google, but it says file verification error.
I also tried forced checking using *#*#checkin#*#* but no luck
As I heard 2.3.4 update was released on May.
So How can I update to 2.3.4?
Phone's Android build number is 3.02.1010.4 CL492.8

That is not a stock Android build number. Is it a Vodafone or Videotron device? If so, you will not be able to get (OTA or manual install) the latest version until your carrier releases it. If you want the latest releases, you need to flash a stock ROM...
Did you root it and change any system files? If so, then you will not get future OTA updates. The file verification error sounds like you did change or delete some system files. If you did the update will fail. To install an OTA update (even from sd card) the phone must be stock with no changes to any files that came with the stock rom.

Rooting has NO impact on being able to receive or install OTA updates...

No It's not from Vodafone or other carrier. I bought it from Korea through ebay. It says it's an unlocked phone.

That is not a stock Android ROM. It looks like there is some sort of Sense ROM running on it.
A stock build should look something like the attachment.

Thanks for the reply.
Phone doesnt have any sence UI. But as you said it may have a carrier specific ROM.
So is that mean I need to flash a new stock ROM?

If you want to get stock 2.3.4 then, yes, you need to flash a stock ROM. You will lose all your data, so make sure you back up as much as you can. The easiest way to flash a completely stock ROM is to download the zip file from this post, rename it to PASSIMG.zip, and place it in the root of your sdcard. Then boot into the bootloader, and it will recognize the file. After verifying it, it will ask if you want to flash it. Or you could unlock your bootloader, and flash all the images in the zip file using fastboot on your computer.

I'll try the first method you said.
Thanks a lot for your help!
Finally I did it guys!
First I downloaded FRG83 and tried flashing but it didnt work.
It said "CID incorrect"
Then I tried flashing with FRG33 it also didnt work.
Then I tried downloading images form HTC. Didnt work either
Then I found out that issue is with the memory card.
I turned my other memory card into a gold card and tried flashing with FRG83.
Voila! I worked!
Then I updated to 2.3.4
Thank you very much for the help guys!!

Since you didn't use the link I posted for you, you are not upgraded to the latest radio that came with the latest Gingerbread ROM. (Compare your baseband version with mine.) You can flash it manually if you want (assuming you either have root or an unlocked bootloader).

I was not sure whether it is compatible with my phone because it's has a SLCD.
Later I found that the ROM you gave me, is a newer one.
I havent rooted the phone yet.
I feel lack of wifi signal after flashing. Now I think it's because of this baseband version.[not sure]
Actually I haven't noticed the baseband version until you tell it.
Is there any other significant different that you feel between these two baseband versions?
Still I havent planned to root because it'll void the warranty.
Then I'll flash again with the ROM you gave.

Rooting your device does not void the warranty, as it is easily undoable, with no trace. (Note, however, that you cannot root 2.3.4 with a locked bootloader, so you will need to downgrade to an older version, root, then update using OTA, but being careful not to lose root. There are many guides on how to do this.)
Unlocking the bootloader technically does void the warranty, however, it has been reported numerous times in these forums that HTC still honours the warranty even if the bootloader is unlocked.
The difference in the radio affects each user differently, as there are too many variable to compare.
Hi,
This weekend I flashed my phone to the latest official GB ROM that came out here in The Netherlands (V20m). Now when I run the updater it syays there is a update for my phone. When I try to update it says:
"software update is not supported for this model"
What could be the reason, anyone a guess?
I think the tool needs some rest, as it worked to hard from flashing all the LG updates
I'm also experiencing this and would like to know if it's normal or not... Because, what if ICS came out next year and I'm unable to update my phone because of this! Haha!!!
Have you rooted your phone? Cause mine is rooted already when I tried this.
Don't know though if this has something to do with the update tool from LG... Because when I updated my phone from Froyo to Gingerbread, my phone was already rooted and the updater seems to work fine. I was able to update my phone from Froyo to Gingerbread without any problem.
No my phone is not rooted right now.

As long as it can start the LG recovery/flash software it is not a problem. If you flash CWM it does not work anymore as far as I know.

My LG is on version 2.2.2 and it says that there is no Upgrade available

Every time I try to Root my phone i get error "Waiting for device"
My debbugin is on, and I turned of my firewall is there something else i need to do to get Rooting Right ?
Thx
You can safely update to 2.3.4 and then root using one of these guides:

That second link for update to 2.3.4 GingerBread works 100% on my LG Optimus 2x ?
EDIT : Can i get link for updating my LG from Froyo 2.2.2 to Gingerbread 2.3.4 , safetly
It should work, follow the guide to the letter and you should have rooted your phone.
Here's your link:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1327929
Wait
First link is for Rooting phone
Second is for update to Gingerbread
Third is for Rooting phone on Gingerbread ?
No, the first three are all for rooting
The fourth one is for updating manually to GingerBread
Ok .. soo first i Root my phone by one of that 3 links and then i update to Gingerbread (4th link) ?
The other way around
If you first root and then update, you might lose your root, so...
First update then root.
By the way: After you root, do you want a stock LG rom or a custom one...?
Explame me what that means xD
Haha ok
Stock LG rom is just the normal rom from LG you have right now but then a little improved (removed unnecessary software and apps). Normally the people who like the looks of the stock rom choose Stock-based roms.
Custom roms are roms completely different than LG. They look different and they have different apps/software. Most people out here prefer custom roms like CyanogenMod or MIUI. I prefer CyanogenMod too because it's in my opinion overall better than stock rom.
You can find these roms in the development section. The reason why I asked you this is because if you want to have a custom rom, you don't need to update to 2.3.4. You just can root 2.2 and flash one of these custom roms over it. This will automatically update your phone to GingerBread.

No I didn´t try OTA update . I bought LG 2 days ago soo kinda new here xD
Try one first,
go to settings ----> about phone ----> phone version (or something like that, not sure) and do the update from there. Trust me, this is much easier than the kdz method. If there is no OTA, then you should use the kdz method.

Well i did this metod to root my phone http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=953182
But how i can be sure that my phone is Rooted successfully ?
There are a lot of ways to check that. You can either look in your app list for an app called Superuser. If you have this app then you should have rooted successfully. But if you want to be 100% sure, download the root checker app and see for yourself .
Hey guys,
I just rooted my phone yesterday on stock 2.3.4 and got this annoying issue: Every time I shut down and restart my phone, some settings revert to default on their own. For instance, text input language becomes german (was the default language when I bought the phone), input text sounds are activated again, and so are mobile networks which I must disable quickly because they mean charges.
Could you please shed some light here? Thanks!

AFAIK, this is the only way... Because you have no OTA it seems that this is the only option. But I'm not sure about that.
My advice is to search, perhaps there is an easier way to do so.
EDIT: Download Rom Manager (app) and from there install ClockworkMod Recovery. With recovery you can flash a stock-based gingerbread rom on your phone! (how could I not think of that earlier ) make sure to do a nandroid backup in recovery mode.
EDIT 2: You might wanna try this: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1408919
Flash this in recovery mode.
Or you can just go directly to the latest KANG-54 build. Android 2.3.7, very stable and smooth as butter.

Hello, I'd like to update my phone using Smartflash.
I have an official V20B rom which is rooted. I would like to install a new official rom but i'm completely lost when it comes to choosing the right version !
Where can I get the official V20S stock rom (which can be installed with smartflash)
Also, is there any official ICS rom ? (same, for smartflash), if so, is it fully stable ? Where can I get it ? (LG Mobile update says my phone is up to date... Huh)(I have read that you need to change the boot partition or something like that with ICS roms, is it valid for official ICS roms from LG too ?).
Do I have to unroot my phone before installing a new rom with Smartflash ?
Thanks.

1. Make sure that you have P990.
2. V20B should be a gingerbread.
3. If you read one post below yours, you could’ve find exactly what you ask official ICS for smartflash.
Cheers.

I actually have V10B sorry !
I will update via LG Tools with the kdz instead of smartflash. Is there anything to do specifically to keep my data in the phone or is it saved automatically in the LG Tools update process ?

I think updating via LG Tool doesn't erase data on your phone... however I would strongly advise you to synchronize your contacts with gmail and backing up you apps with titanium backup in an external sd card.
Update via LG Tool didn't erase my data when I went from 2.2 to 2.3
