Well, this is the third thrill under warranty I get. This one still arrived with froyo. I cant seem to update to gingerbread with the lg updated. Tried following the kdz installation post but would not flash., kept telling me the phone was up to date. Any clues..? This will be my test phone as I just got a vivid.
You have to follow the directions on how to flash kdz and returning to stock tread in development thread
From what I know,the P on the end is just specific to the carrier,I am on rogers and mine ends in G(p925g) With so many different providers carrying eseentially the same phone,just different stock OS bloated with their provider junk LG has to do something to seperate the devices based off carrier. I find it strange that you cannot update,as it seems that there is an official ATT update for GB now. Have you had any luck?
No luck, att has a regular P925, the P925p is very rare and will not update via the update. I tried the kdz flash instructions and did not work. I will try it on an xp machine as i did it on a windows 7.

I also have the p925p version I have tried updating to ICS, If you have the LG support tool and click customer support look under supporting models and the p925p can only be updated to v20p which is Gingerbread, look at the regular p925 and it says v30b which is ICS, any suggestions?
Does anyone know if the P925p can be manually updated to the official ICS with the kbz files?
The phone I have says p925 on it behind the battery and in the software, the only place where it says it's p925p is when trying to use the POS LG support tool. Tells me my phone is already up to date etc...
Looking to find out if this thing can be updated manually with the official ics from att or not.
So [email protected]#$ing annoying, twice it's started the upgrade for ICS with the LG Upgrade Too, but it eventually always stops with "problem communicating with phone" then when you restart the program it tells you no update for P925p phone is up to date.
Last time I did the phone recovery, and it automatically did a restore, then said there is an update for ICS, then back to the problem communicating BS (stops when it says checking phone #, I don't have a AT&T sim in there right now) I tried without a sim and with a t-mobile sim same issue. Eventually says no update available.
Has anyone been able to get ICS on the P925p version??
Edit: I was able to get the phone updated see below
Thanks
Just an update and some info to add about the P925p.
The P925p is the same as the P925, there is no difference. LG's Support Tool telling you that your phones is a P925p is bogus / a bug. I spent a few hours on the phone with LG support, several techs. They all confirmed that the phone is P925. P925p is the exact same phone, just when its in Korea, they will recognize it as a P925p. So ignore the POS LG Support tool telling you your phone is P925p and that there is no update available for your phone.
There is a way around this error (telling you your phone is P925p and no update available). Uninstall the LG Support Tool, uninstall the drivers and reinstall the drivers, install the LG Support Tool. Sometimes you need to install the driver from the Support Tool, instead of before.
Then it will tell you there is an update.
My issue was that it would begin the update but always stop and say "PROBLEM COMMUNICATING BETWEEN PHONE AND PC" so I could never get it to update.
I had to follow this guide to get it to update http://www.lg-phones.org/how-to-flash-unbrick-lg-thrill-4g-back-to-stock.html (make sure you pick the ICS KDZ file 30B when you get to that step so download that first)
Even using this guide I ran into the problem communicating between phone and PC error again, but just pushed restart a few times and it finally worked.
Bottom line is your phone is P925 not P925p
Note: If you still have issues with the LG Support Tool, sometimes picking Change Country and setting it to another country, then setting it back to USA helps.

Hi, the FedEX dude just delivered me my O2X, and now i want to upgrade it to v10D.
So i downloaded the LG tool, downloaded the appropriate usb driver, then connect the phone to the computer, then it says Phone is already the latest version??
How am i supposed to upgrade the phone?
Hmm you either download an LG rom from the dev section here or wait for an update in your region.
If you have v10c out of the box then it's probably the same update depending on region, info in dev section.
-smc
btw dont be so eager to upgrade using official LG tool, it "bricked" my phone. Had to flash rom myself.
2 questions
I went back to stock rom with root, my phone shows i am on LGE Version V10b
Now when I plug it in to the computer and connect it to LGMobile Support Tool, it is showing up as V10s, I have the 502 baseband on it, im presuming that this has something to do with the conflict of versions???
(think this on might be up in a post already but couldn't find it)
And also when I try to update from my phone I get the message
Connection failed caused by authentication error.
Any ideas or possible fixes on this???

The 502 baseband is from the Korean Release for the SU660, which was released as version.... you guessed it... 10s. You need to downgrade your baseband.

long story short....
i received a unit from a friend in korea (version with the olleh logo).
LG KU5900, updated using LGs downloadable updater, my mistake is that i didnt read up on the "proper procedure" of updating this one unit.
options on updating, i changed the country to my local (philippines). then proceeded with updating, about 3-5% it crashed while flashing it.
i tried using v10a as alternative, managed to flash it somewhat successfully, but lo and behold, no IMEI, no GSM signal.
i was wondering this unit only and will only accept v20l in its general function? or im sure i did or didnt do something right.
i used KDZ updater with the windows enable and whatnots.
im hoping this unit still has a chance of being reflashed to its former glory with a signal on it.
any ideas, opinions, suggestions, advices for a flash tool that will render this functional once more?
here's where the unit at.
functional, boots up, wifi bluetooth gps works. before that eventful update, the phone works, call and all, i can receive sms but cant send one.
what doesnt work. local gsm network (wcdma, i think). since when i flashed this, i left the kdz updater type on CDMA since there's no gsm/wcdma option to boot.
questions of mine...
can this be flashed using v10a since this is the native for philippines? or do i go back to v20l which is for korea?
which flash tool to use to activate gsm/wcdma?
links to tools? hopefully not megaupload.
guides?
any and all will help.
thank you very much.
ps - been reading up on gabwerk's (did i spell his name right?). on finding a clue to fix this.
pps - flashed this about 4-5 times already, no luck.
tried flashing with 3GQCT, still no luck on having signal.
KU5900 and P970 have different radio roms... Because you flashed P970's firmware, your modem (radio) isn't working.
Flash your phone with KDZU with one of these firmwares.
Or try again to flash in LG Mobile UPdater. It will download correct firmware by your IMEI number.
err yeah, that i did the first time when it crashed. must be compatibility with win 7 64.
KU5900 >> LG updater "country philippines language english" crashed while uncompressing.
already have the korean firmwares, im looking for an updater with a "wcdma or gsm" option on radio types.
so far kdz updater by marwin doesnt have that, only CDMA, 3GQCT, INFINEON, ODM...

You didn`t understand ! if your phone has cdma radio on it you cannot flash gsm or wcdma because radio chip will not accept. There are differences between frecvences.
aye, right now, managed to get it up and running, but somewhat still unstable, i cant download games on it, not even fruit ninja lolz. it kept saying insufficient memory.
Try to do a factory reset, often solves such problems, and if problems persist, try to flash it again.

ok guys.
used lge tool from a friend of mine, he fixed the eprom that was causing the initial error on the "no network / no signal" issue.
still on froyo v10a, then updated to v11c using updater, which turns out to be bouy update. now i got a french OS arrrrggggghhhh!!!!
right now, looking for GB update guide.
anyone with pointy ears can point me to the right direction?
ps - anyone got any good pointers on how to use the inactive 5gig? currently splicing v20l for comparisons with 10a and 11c...
Hi guys,
I am having problems flashing LG optimus black with ICS Rom. My current android version is 2.2.2 and is distributed by French Company SFR.
As I am aware of flashing procedures with other phone models, I used standard flashing procedure from LG website, extracting tool. However, during update (which normally downloads the file from server) the operation halts at 14 % which asks me to unplug the device, remove battery, re-plug and go on. I switch android flashing mode by pressing volume up and plugging it with usb cable. All drivers are loaded OK. It did not work.
I used the offline flashing procedure (by LG Flash Tool 2014), downloaded ICS ROM for SFR devices, and the issue is again the same.
Note that some flashing tools refused to upgrade as they indicated that the phone has the latest version, which happened in LG websites for other countries. This to me is in contradiction with what LG has introduced for this device, the ICS stock rom for SFR.
Then I went with smart flash tool which in fact converts KDZ file into two files used by this tool to flash, while during flashing operation it halted at 16 % saying that there is an error in flashing procedure. WHAT'S WORSE is that it deactivated my sim network, but the rest of android works normally.
As you see I did all these operations and would want some advice in re-activating (flashing) my sim network and any good method in successfully flashing the ICS ROM.
Thanks,
Albert
Try to use SmartFlash Tool from here: www.mediafire.com/download/7p10s9q9jsjsxq8/SmartFlashTool_External.rar, you can see how to use it here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1448803
I bought a LM-V450ebw Dual SIM with android 8x, probably HongKong distribution. I've beed trying to flash it to EU/Polish ROM (android 10) with no possitive effect (I want to have volte and wifi calling - that's the main reason to update).
I've beed trying LGUP 1.14-1.16 with different LGDLL but no way to overcome "error: 0x6004, crossdl open_hk_ds>open_eu_ds"
Finally I tried to update to android 10 Hong Hong version and I succeeded (v30b-lao-yt). But still no success in moving to EU/Polish ROM (android 10) via LGUP - "error: 0x6004, crossdl open_hk_ds>open_eu_ds"
It looks like, there is no problem to move between HK version but no way to move from HK -> UE/Polish.
Of course LG Bridge doesn't help much.
What's wrong? Is there any way to do it without rooting?

For most of the variants all that's needed to crossflash is to use 1.14 and choose 'partition download'. But the HK dual sim variant is a pia. You can lose one or both sims if not done correctly.
I'd suggest, in rom forum see initial thread for lineage os and find invite to join v40 tele group. Ask there as those guys have much more international experience especially with dual sim variants.
cheers
Similar problem wit a new LM-V405EBW running Android 9 sec patch 1 June 2019
It is supposed to be an European version, came with a EU charger ...
Current software V20a-LAO-YT
Checked with a IMEI checker that said it is a DEC region phone.
It seems LG has removed V40 Thinq from the supported devices,
cannot get any OTA updates :-(
I want to install V405EBW30d_00_OPEN_EU_DS_OP_1223.kdz
latest DEC firmware I think.
When I try LGUP i get the same error mess as above
"error: 0x6004, crossdl open_hk_ds>open_eu_ds"
Tried both "refurbish" and "update" same error.
I don't mind to wipe the phone clean,
but when i select the "Partition DL" i get more than 10 options,
which one(s) should i select ?
Hope I can get some advice.

all of them except ftm. Then, when it finishes and reboots, do the refurbish (twice) with the same kdz.

Evening! I bring you a solution, it seems a strange solution, but after weeks of trying anyway, the only one that did not occur to me, is to disconnect it while I was flashing the rom that I put wrong to downgrade it, i cause a provocated brick, what is my surprise when insert the IBR rom (before it had the TIM) it started flashing without problem.
Mobile to repair: Lg K41S (LMK410EMW)
Use this version of the LGUP flash tool: LGUP_Dev-1.14 (patch)
