you need the lg pc suite to update with. get it here
install it and connect your mobile to the pc using the usb cable.
remember to connect the usb cable between mobile and pc BEFORE you turn on the mobile.
if you do not do it correctly, the S/W upgrade menu will not appear, and update might fail (which i believe you seen now?)
(hold VOL- pressed, when you turn on the mobile, and S/W upgrade will appear, otherwise try again)
from here, the pc suite will guide you through the upgrade. i might be missing that you need to select mobile upgrade from the menu, but that is just a matter of selecting it

I suggest you to follow this guide http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1264289
The only two different things are that you have to download and select the proper kdz for ours p880 and also insert the battery between fourth and fifth step ( when you reached the s/w upgrade mode ), otherwise the flash won't finish ( at least, for me it was so ).
PS: obviously in step 4 you have to keep pressed "vol-" and, at the same time, plug in the usb cable.

i can confirm when you connect the USB cable you only need to keep VOL- kept down and do it within 2-3 seconds or it will not boot up.
but power button is not needed for f/w upgrade mode.
yeah, I did not remember exactly if i pressed the power button or not
Is that all? Download LG PC suite and then connect USB? I tried that and got the S/W upgrade please wait while upgrading... but its taking forever.
ps: this is my first time rooting/flashing a phone.

Hmm, tried updating with LG software, didn't work. Then I tried the method explained here:

and it got to

and it has been stuck there since 10-15 minutes.
I am trying to update a sample with a pre-release firmare (V09b) from March 28 to the European V10 KDZ file. Any suggestions? Thx!
Update: I pulled the plug after it has been stuck at the same point for more then 30min, it updated the baseband to V10B, but the software version is still V09B...Damn....

The same error here, and my phone is a developer edition? How to solve it? Can you flash the rom sucessfully?
I invite you to test the tool which downloads the original KDZ file to your phone P880. Especially those who have the DEVELOPER VERSION.
How to use?
Well, In the top field, put the model in this case, LGP880.
In the field below, enter the number of the IMEI (This code is located behind the device, removing the battery you can see a white sticker with a number)
Whoever can download the KDZ, give an answer here. I have a device developer version, I and my colleague are testing whether there are differences between versions of files KDZ developer of the definitive versions.
Please DO NOT try flashing the rom until I can test it, my phone is already bricked, if it works for me, then I'll tell you.
Download the program here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=592871&d=1305116848
Hmm, I tried the app but it does not seem to find anything for me...
I contacted LG Singapore stating that bought the device but was not able to update the device. Informed that the upgrade tool showed the error. I asked to check the IMEI of my device. Maybe they release the update, if this process succeeds, simply register the device by LG. I may be talking nonsense, but it never hurts to try.

Hi,
I bought LG Optimus Black week ago, Its Really Cool Phone.
I have insatalled LG PC suite 4.3.20, My phone is connected to pc suite.
When I try to Check Phone Update , It shows me Phone Update Available,
But I am not getting what kind of Update is that,
If anyone have idea about it please let me know.
I have default Froyo 2.2.2 installed which comes with phone.
Software Version is LG-P970-V10a
thanks
Yes probably it is V10b. Try to update your phone with LG mobile updater.
Sent from my LG-P970 using XDA App
Yeah maybe just 10b
Sent from my LG-P970 using Tapatalk
Thanks Everyone,
But update really necessary, do we have any improvements from that ?
I've eared that it helps with the battery draining issue but some people also told me that it doesn't change anything considerable and the battery problem isn't fixed. I think the kernel is the same and it also runs 2.2.2 so it's your choice. In my opinion you will not lose anything by doing the update but I also don't know if you gain something.
yes it's the 10B software. i don't really notice any difference but regarding the battery it might be a little improvement. if you root and remove some stuff you can improve the battery but that's probably the same with 10A.
if you want to update, make sure to first make a factory reset cause if you don't it might cause your phone to act weird. i didn't so i had to reflash 10A and then to 10B again.
When I connect my OB to LG Suite, it also shows me an available update.
If I try to apply it, gets me an error and tells me that my phone isn't connected.
I went into my phone settings and my software is up to date.
In my case, LG Suite shows me an incorrect information.
Guys, how come everytime I check my PC Suite IV it doesn't prompt me of any new phone update? My s/w is v10a. How come you guys have and my doesn't? And by the way, there is a new update also for the PC Suite IV. But when I tried updating it. It only shows Live Update searching and then gets lost and then gets back again. How come this happens? Does it happen to you guys to? Need your help here. Please?

An update is always welcomed, because it comes with some improvements to the phone. I made the update to v10b but i didn't find any changes, except the fixed video recording aspect ratio, which is the most important update for me and my LG OB.
Hi All,
When I connect my phone it shows connected on LG Pc Suite but when I click on phone update/ software update it says phone not connected. Can you please suggest what could be wrong?
you need to turn off the phone, and while plugging in the usb cable to your computer,HOLD DOWN the VOLUME UP button. there should be a screen saying "S/W update", then try using the LG mobile updater again
Thanks. It worked. I am getting SW Upgrade Please wait while upgrading screen. When i launch LG mobile update tool it is searching for very long. How do i restart the phone whithout this update?
Please help. Thanks
you will just have to pull out the battery and unplug the cable, there is no other way to restart the phone
My PCsuite IV says update available, but when i proceed to mobile updation tool, it says the phone is up to date.. !!

Because it is from LG. I had sometimes same problem. Just ignore it ;-)
I;ve got another message. When connected to Lg update tool, update available. So i pressed start update and after checking sw and phone i get " This software is not compatible" What?! Anyway, it was so hard for me to revive my phone after i bricked it.
Just LG trolling us while they sit back and laugh at all the fuss about GB
How do you update to gingerbread? I have V10B now and software update doesn't detect anything.
Thanks in advance!

Servers are down anyway so you can't use R&D with B2C. Do you have adb installed? Also, try entering recovery by pressing volume down then power button, you might get lucky.

Hey, tomorrow is a Monday. Im figuring you are within your warranty. Instead of waiting for the servers, which are up, btw, all you need to do is step into the LG service center. They'll replace the handset in 2 days. I got mine replaced a week ago.

i thot of that, but since the phone is bootlooping CM7 bootscreen, i feel they are going to void my warranty!!!....were u rooted and yet got your handset replaced???....reply man!!!....am so tensed!!!
Try this :
1. R&D Tool must be Run As Administrator
2. B2CC notiagent must run (on taskbar)
3. Change Phone Mode to DIAG
see also THIS GUIDE
can anyone post the EXACT STEP BY STEP 2 unbrick the phone??
even running LGUpdate -> recovery phone didn't help.
it downloaded the update, updated the phone, but the cell won't boot!!!...only thing that changed is that the bootanimation loop has changed from CM7 to stock LG one. dats about it!!!....please help me guys!!!!...am so so so so worried!!!!...feel liek i was better off with the x10
I did down-grade CM7 to Stock ROM V10D use R&D Tools without problem. I saw your R&D tool pic, I suggest to you :
1. Use R&D tool again (because R&D tool is full flash).
2. Re-download kdz file stock ROM HERE (maybe your kdz file is broken)
3. All of that Windows Software must be run as administrator.
4. Change PhoneMode : CS_Emergency to be DIAG (see image of R&D that you uploaded)
ps. : Sorry for my bad english
here is the problem with me.
1. I HAVE THE DRIVERS, MSXML 4.0 AND THE B2C TOOL INSTALLED
2. I DID EVERYTHING MENTIONED IN THE GUIDE ABOUT THE WINDOWS ENABLER AND EVERYTHING.
3. THEN WHEN I START THE R&D TT or he UpTestEX_mod2_marwin.exe, it runs. i select the downloaded .kdz file, (mode is set as CS_Emergency) and then when i hit run CSE WEB UPGRADE TEST, it shows me the 2nd window where i should hit "UPGRADE START" and it runs the updater, however, when i run it, it says
"please install B2C CSMG CLIENT TOOL
SELECT TOOL -> B2C Client Setup Menu
but when select it from tools it says "B2C Tool Setup Complete"!!!!!.....what 2 do.....PLESASEE HELP...HELPPPPP!!!!

your phone has to be in download mode to get there remove the battery hold volume + and power at the same time then plug usb in and wait 3-5 seconds insert battery till phone vibrates and release volume and power button phone should not turn on just stays dark and in the device manage in the ports (com lpt) you should see omap4430 or lg device i cant remember but when you are there try the update
That's not wat I did I just put debug it crashed a couple of times but after a while worked fine
Sent from my LG-P925 using XDA
Well it's not doing this while I'm updating the phone it's doing this while I'm installing the LGMobile Support Tool software itself

how can I be sure that phone is not developer edition?
I got that phone for free from a cousine working in local lg office... he was saying that it's the final version...
there is a encription on the back of the model NOT FOR SALE...so that means it a developer edition, or not?
ofcourse, software is version v10a....
maybe it's not registred for sale so it wont update?

If you'll try the normal flash, you'll brick it almost for sure.
By that method you'll be able to flash it.

As far as I know, the flash method for developers phones must run in 32bit system.
About retail phones, just try to download the KDZ version you want to and flash it with the normal methode.

Maybe even without sucess, when you flash by the "development way" (let's call it like that for now...), you overwrite the file system allowing to perform the normal flash after that.
Good for you.

I've used the link above from part 7 (because My phone was already in SW upgrade mode) and resolved the issue.
iv tried on 4 different computers. it seems to make no difference. it says my phone is on v20_b if that helps at all. i jsut cant get this flasher or any other to complete an install. the sw upgrade screen only activates when battery is in. with battery out vol down then usb all i get is a blank screen. really at my wits end here. thanks for the input so far guys

Got the same thing also made a thread about it but nobody knows how to fix it and i tried every tool available if i connect it to LG Mobile support tool it says LGE455 while it is a P880 and no it's not a driver issue.
mine is seen as lgp880 but never gets past either 10% on lmst or smart flash and just sticks at wparam 2010 and i param 210 on kdz. its as if these tools see and recognize the phone then start talikg to it but it never completes. so frustrating
