Hi,
I have got this LG optimus 2x from Wind, unlocked, and rooted. The thing is that I am still using 2.2, and for the longest time I have been waiting for an update, yet nothing seems to appear. I was looking around and I found this guide:
http://www.lg-phones.org/how-to-flash-lg-optimus-2x-to-android-2-3-4-gingerbread.html
To my knowledge it seems pretty legit, but the links are old, and I can no longer get the files I need to perform the upgrade. Do you guys advice me to perform such an upgrade, or should I go for custom ROMs (not a big fan)?
Any help is appreciated, thanks.
Try to search a live link in this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1035041 or google it...
You can flash older version (V10) with smartflash, then use lg update tool to update it to the newest.
You can try this rom, too, it is the newest stock with minor changes http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1035041 and easily flashable through cwm.

You are on the wrong forum. LG Optimus 2X is LGP990 but the one from Wind is LGP999 (a.k.a. G2X) . Head over to the T Mobile LG G2X Forum

What is the difference between v10e and v20e..?
Don't get it in my official updates
Using stock Rom
Firmware v10e
And if anyone knows how i can revert back to v10d then please let me know.

One if a froyo based rom and the other is a gingerbread leaked rom.
Biggest difference is in battery life and speed

I think there wasn't any difference at all. I ran V20e for some reason when I got mine and for some crazy idea that I want to test 'if LG really sucks at software' notion I tried to update, I went back to V10e running at 2.2.2
Very bad mistake

i disagrre with u bro..its very difference between 10e and 20e, 10e for froyo n 20e for gingerbread.all system between those versions is very different too
There are a few differences.
1. 10E is official 20E is a leaked rom.
2. 10E is Froyo 20E is Gingerbread.
3. As stated in 1. the only one actually supported by LG is 10E so flashing 20E will remove your warranty.
Of course there are more differences then these but then a normal Gingerbread vs Froyo thread will serve for that purpose.

Yeah I know, what I meant was there was no difference with performance. I mean yeah V10e is froyo and V20e is GB so its really a huge difference on system but on the performance, not so much. Sorry if that made a misconception or something.

No, flashing custom rom on your LG phone doesn't void your warranty. This was stated directly by LG Italy.
Yes i can confirm it me too.
Custom Roms don't touch the warranty.only if you brick or damage your phone installing a custom will be customer fault.
But if you have an hardware problem and you have a custom Rom you're ok.

Okey, I wrote supported by LG first. But okey.. Maybe Italy is different from the rest of the world. And its free to flash and still keep your warranty's intact. But if they by any means find any reason to why your flashing is the fault for breaking the device you will be the one paying the repairs. And normally they do "find" stuff like that. I my self ended up paying the repairs on a laptop because it was linux on it and not vista. (And here you think your free to install whatever OS you want on a pc.)
PS local agreements may vary to make sure contact your local LG office.
Hello all,
I;m new to this whole rooting and ROM community (iphone 4 user). I'm wondering if there were any easy way to root the Optimus X2 (from WIND) then install ICS? Can anyone direct me to the two guides that does this specifically? Also, I'm on a MAC would any of this work on a mac?
Thank you.
Hi!
Your in the wrong section mate. You've got a LG Optimus 2X Speed from WIND, which makes it a LG G2X instead of a O2X. There are some hardware differences between these phones, therefore the roms and kernels over here won't work on your phone. My advice to you is to ask around in the LG G2X section.
Yes your phone is P999 = G2X O2X is P990
this mobile will hav custom rom ?? i have to decide to buy HTC One X or LG 4X HD i dunno which one is better

If you read a bit, you'll soon discover. But to make it short, i'll tell you. This phone won't have any custom roms as long as the bootloader stays locked, because it doesn't seem to be attractive for developers to make anything as long as they don't have full control. Roms could be made with 2nd init, but the kernel can't be changed and nobody managed to make proper roms with that until now. Our only chance left is that LG will unlock the bootloader, but that's very unlike to happen. So if you want custom roms, go for the OneX. If you want great hardware for a great price with the downsides (though stock software is pretty good), go for the 4X. Or wait another two months and get the Optimus Nexus, which will most likely have LG hardware combined with Google AOSP software and unlocked bootloader.

yup..the bootlader is the main problem here... because the hardware of Optimus 4XHD is really great
What is the solution to unlock the boot-loader . The O4X has similar specification to htc One X .
Please, Can someone explain that why the LG 4X has locked boot-loader and what is the best method to unlock the boot-loader ?

There's no method, unless You'll explore it by Yourself and show it to us lol
O4X wins with HOX in hardware, it've for sure better screen for example
I believe that even if there was bootloader, make a rom is very complicated and takes a lot of work, when a phone has updates of firmware within all stock applications and LG did a very good phone with software integration where all hardware works fine. I think is not very attractive build a rom.
There are already plenty of ways to customize a phone through applications like Launchers, Keyboards, Backgrounds, Status bars, Sounds ...
For now LG seems to want to continue to update the phone and the phone was last updated in December and it works perfectly, fast and smooth.
And if you want to "root" your phone you can do it very easily.
If they wont unlock b., then they need to make JB for our phone. Do we have chance to they unlock b. or JB?
I'm not the waiting type.. im gonna wait 1month.. if the JB update comes in January.. i will test it If i don't see any update before 9.febuary i'll put an order for Nexus 4.. This phone has been out for half a year.. its time something happens!!!!
Just bought a 4X HD and its looking nice
Not keen on LG's overlay though but maybe it will grow on me.
Anyway it is a UK model (Unlocked, No Operator etc)
Already Upgraded to 4.1.2, software version is P880020a-234-000
Bit confused on if I can root, flash a rom etc.
Please advise
Thanks!!

Ok thanks I am now rooted
Can I not Unlock bootloader/install custom recovery etc?
Or change to EUR rom and do it??
Thanks again!!!!
now is unlocking useless for normal users ...because no custom roms / custom kernels .
LG released the soucecode this morning. So now its only a bit of waiting before the first custom roms will be released.

So I can unlock using LG official and put CWM on now or not?
Sorry about all the Q's , EVERYother phone I have bought has had a great modding community with guides everywhere so this is a bit unusual to me

Not until you unlock your bootloader which, until they find a way to do it, can't be done in the 234-000 version.
Also, there are guides in this community, you just have to look for them (e.g. in the General Forum or the Development one). There you could have found answers for your doubts, as well as other people trying to get around the bootloader issue (there's even a thread dedicated to 234-000 users, and another for 262-000 owners).
Now we just wait my friend!

Well going by the fact that you have 234-000 You might not be able to unlock your boot loader as of yet.
There are 2 users that i know of from the UK that have unlocked their boot loader. I have tried and and tried again.
LG's Open source team have told me and a few other forum members that 234-000 and 262-000 are both unlockable.
The best bet is to wait for AGBRBK V20A... Which is the UK build of 20A.
Its just a waiting game. :good:

#1 This is the wrong forum to post in, this forum is for development projects. This belongs in the q and a forum. #2 26a IS the newest kdz. Flashable ROMs don't come in kdz form... The post conveys some sense of urgency, though I have no idea what over. You didn't mention any problems. If you want to flash custom ROMs, root, get a custom recovery and make sure you have the right bootloader/baseband/recovery combinations before continuing. Otherwise... You're good.
the problem there are no custom room working in my mobile i try many room but there is nothing always coming stuck and i back to old one give me one of the room are testing and working for vs980 lg g2

You need to make sure your running b the right baseband and boot loader. If you flash a lollipop ROM you need to be on 12b bootloader and modem. If your trying b to flash a stock KitKat ROM then you need the 26a bootstack. Whatever Rom your trying to flash just make sure it's in verizon lg g2 android development section and read full op and how to install listed in op and you should be fine. Considering you posted your question in the development section I'm gonna assume you haven't read anything. So do that first
