It really exists? may be it's a branded version only.

SOC1.9.5. Like Noejn said I also didn't noticed any difference. The only thing I see since v10b is LG making new versions just to make most people happy with new releases nothing more.

First and most important thing is to do Factory Reset via Hidden Menu 3845#*970#. This will un-root your phone and clear all data. Then do a firmware upgrade and after that again Factory Reset. This is the safest method.

The factory reset doesn't un-root the phone. The "called" root moves both superuser.apk and su binary to the respective folders so if you do a factory reset they will not be deleted.. To un-root you need to do it with the application you used to root the phone or flash firmware.

I think I broke my O2X...help?

Hello! New member here so please excuse me if I'm posting to the wrong forum or anything like that.
Not to take long of your time, I can't get my phone to boot. It shows the 2 LG logos and won't proceed beyond that. So I need to know if there's a way to flash a ROM and a Recovery with it like that.
Thanks for the help.

Are you rooted? Or try smart flashing your phone.

Returnig Into Official ROM wihtou unrooting

I'm sorry, but I am very unexperienced in this matters. I installed the CM9 Nightly 6 ROM, but as some apps don't seem to work (and I need them to) I was trying to return to official LG ROM. However, I do not need to unroot my phone. How can I do this?
May I just connect to LG update Tool and do so?
Or is it a better way?
Any help would be appreciated
Thank you

I'm sorry again, but this was the procedure I made when I wanted to root my phone, so do you mean that if i do it again i will be back into firm rom?
And then will i be able to update it to the latest version available using lg update tool (this tool stoped working when i installed the custom rom)?
Thank you so much for the attention on this matter

Let me ask something else though. How do I get a Stock Rom to flash? because the link i found in this forum to the custom roms is .kdz so i do not know how to use it in smartflashtool. And also, how do I follow the root guide when the ROM I have is 4.0.4 and there is so such option in the root guide?
Thank you and excuse me
If u use one of those to root you will be back on stock. Even if you are on 4.0.4

I tried to follow that link but it doesn't seem to go to any page, it appears "No thread specified".
And when i'm rooting, should i use the same files i used before and flash superuser or not?
Use one of the rooting guides and do everything it says

Just to clarify, if i would exactly what it's said in the root procedure, i'll get back into an official rom from lg, that's right?
The last time i did this, it appeared in the system some apps in russian, but when updating through lg update tool, they'll be gone, right?
Thanks again

V10H (Euro_Open)

"For the equipment from Germany today a firmware update has been released to version v10h."
Once that Germany belongs to the EEC, I presume it is a Eurpen firmware.
Here is the link guys:

The camera looks a little better (just a little, no miracles...)
The languages are the same, soo, it's a Eurpen...
No problems with network...
No extra apps...
BTW, ROOT is gone with upgrade, maybe because the way I flash it, or not...
Its safe to upgrade, the rest you can see it by your own
Can you root it?

Didn't get it via OTA yet. Are those who got it unbranded? Or are LG apps required (I disabled some of them to save battery, Software Updatre is still alive)?
Unbranded, Germany, no OTA Update available.
Does root still work/has to be rooted again? Please someone confirm this correctly.

I was always a fan of the Euro Open. I'm guessing that there are several battery improvements. As for the camera improvements, I think its just a placebo effect.

I will try flash later tonight and see if its doing any difference
How can I edit the Thread to change the title ???
