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.

Yeah maybe just 10b

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.. !!

I have the same problem....can someone tell us why we are getting that message? why PC Suite sais that there is an update and the LG Updater sais that the phone is up to date?
thanks
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!
I already read some other threads with the same name but nothing really like my problem.
I inserted another person's sim card and after i turned on the phone it started giving me "Sorry! The process com.android.phone has stopped unexpectedly... Force Close. "
But its showing up all the time, one after another. I press Force Close and then another pops up. I can';t even navigate in my phone, i can't do anything but turn it off.
Basiclly i am stuck with 400 euro, phone that just gives errors and is totally unusable.
My phone has stock software, not rooted.
When I got the phone I was so happy...and soon the bsod problems started and I was forced to buy a new one (I see what you did there LG) - but i chose Sony Ericsson this time.
Try to root your phone and install a Clockwork Recovery. Then from the Advanced menu in the recovery choose Fix permissions. Restart the phone and see if it is fixed. If it isn't just flash a custom ROM. This will probably do the job.
This might be a hardware problem or a software problem. Since you didn't root the device you can just go back to the store and ask them to repair it or send it to LG or whatever they can do (because you still have your warranty... right?). Why didn't you go back to the store in the first place?

The problem is after i click on Force Close, it gives me another error too fast and i can't click on anything(I can't really install or use any app). Its like windows errors when you get one error like thousand times and you keep on clicking and clicking and there's no end.
Restarting the phone does nothing.
And yes I already talked with support and Im going to give it back for repair. I don't think its a hardware problem, its the crappy software LG made. I didn't send it back because I could live with 3-4 bsod per week, but now that... Plus im from Bulgaria and the user above knows how long it takes to get your phone back
Okay. Then, try these steps. You don't need to install anything on your phone. You will install a new stock firmware using smartflash. I think this is the only way to fix your phone in a situation like this. Follow the steps:
1. Download Smartflash and its drivers from here and after that install the drivers.
2. Now choose a firmware from here and download it.
3. Run the SmartFlashTool_P990.exe executable.
4. Turn off the phone, remove battery, plug USB in and hold the Power + Volume down keys until you see the software update message - the COM ports field in the SmartFlash program will be filled in automatically
5. Now follow this image:
There is a video lesson too.

Всичко това се надявам да оправи проблема ти. След като инсталираш стоковия ROM и всичко е успешно, ако ти се занимава си сложи някой от последните GR Leak Custom-и. Успех
Same Problem
Hi, I have the same problem on my Samsung SGT5830(Galaxy ACE), but it pups up ones or twice, and stop puping up... My phone after that, working whitout problems... I can receive calls, sms, mms. Also I can call, send sms, mms... I can connect on WiFi, GPS is working too... What is a problem? What can I do? How to do it?
Yes do what gkostadinov said and that will fix your phone back to stock, then root and flash clockworkmod recovery you can use the clockworkmod app from android market to do this once you have rooted.
The pick a nice fast custom rom and profit.

Id suggest using the samsung pc studio(I dont know if it does but there should be some support on updating the phone software) to flash stock rom. Or flash a custom rom if you prefer. If you are able to use the phone and click on the screen then its not a problem to do so.
This is your forum - http://forum.xda-developers.com/forumdisplay.php?f=1167
I think you will find all the information on rooting, flashing and so on.
My problem was different as my phone was basically unable to do anything.
I had it returned to service as I didnt saw gkostadinov reply on time.
Same happened for me some time back. It was caused by google+. try uninstalling and re-installing the google+ app from the market.
I once used hp kernel rc11 and got the same issues. I just reflashed it with the stable version (sr2). Problem solved.
I get this issue when ever I try to toggle between 2G/3g OR toggle data. I am on the latest Cm7 nightly and recently flashed vadonka's 32M_S kernel . This problem occurred some times randomly while on the Cm7 kernel but now it happens almost all the time when I toggle 2G/3G . @vadonka: I can help you with the logs if you wish to look into this
same prroblem in lg optimus l3 e400
i rooted my phone and installed annobox11 then it was working very good from 3-4months from yesterday my battey got low and turned off when i tuurned itt on after charging it is continuesly saying ''unfortunately process com.android.phone has stopped'' pls help me i again reinstalled rom but now also same problem
reinstal rom
If some one has a tutorial "How to flash ROM at Optimus 4x " please use this space to share it with us.
I Have the V09a and I would like to flash V10b. The original upgrade tools does not work.
Is the any other way to do that?

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.

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.

The problem is if they will offer suport for developers device (not for commercial use) or not.
Hi everyone, I really need your help. I have basically bricked my phone but it is not beyond hope as some things seem to be working.
What I did:
I used ROM Manager to boot into a boot screen. I was very turned around and confused and I did not have Clockwork Mod on my CM9 phone, as I thought and I'm really not sure why I thought this was the right thing.... In that boot screen I flashed a TWRP recovery file (http://goo.im/devs/tonyp/P990-stuff/TWRP).
What happens now:
I get a white logo and then the phone turns "on" but on is only a white logo with a little splash of purple behind it (like 2cm long). This "on" state the touchscreen is sensitive insofar as if you touch it when it dims the brightness will jump back up again. That's it though. If I plug the phone into the computer (win7) the pc will ding ding and sometimes it says it installed properly, sometimes not, either way it does not show up in My Computer as a device. If I run SmartFlasher on the pc and plug the phone in (in S/W Upgrade mode which it appears able to do), SmartFlasher will detect the COM Port.
What I already tried:
I tried to use SmartFlasher to flash a stock ROM I found (http://www.modaco.com/topic/350555-lg-optimus-2x-stock-rom-update/) but I received a very non-helpful error that just says "type mismatch error". I tried another file, can't remember what it was or where I found it, but I got the mismatch error also. I also tried to update the phone via the LG Mobile Tool. It finds the phone, installs drivers, etc, even lets me open the update thing but then during the process it says it can not communicate with the phone and it is aborted.
Any ideas?? I can't afford a new/used phone... There must be some way to salvage this...?
Use this tool to solve your problems http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2020737 ..... And as you have the old bootloader, so make sure you flash all files for old bootloader only and not new one....
And also make sure to read the instructions given in tool manual...

Thank you! I will do this in a few hours on my break and see where I get
Ok...so I had to do a LOT of stuff w/n that tool that did not work before I managed to get anywhere...but I got somewhere! yay!!
The phone now boots into TWRP v2.5.0.0. The next step is to flash a ROM because there is no o/s installed. Before I go any further I'd like to know, should I use the stock ROM or should I use the files from ParanoidAndroid 2.6 (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2097807 -- the link you gave me the other day).
Stock ROM sucks..... Use Paranoid Android... You won't regret it ...

Unfortunately more problems lol I was able to get it on there without problem. However I can not connect to my cell provider. The APN listing is blank and even if I manually enter and select save it does not save it, the list stays blank.
So, next I tried the most stable release of CM just to get this f'ing thing working. It went through and said it was successful but when I boot the phone up it is still Paranoid Android...which I don't mind except the APNs are still blank and my phone is still useless.
Any idea what I should do next? I tried searching for this APN problem and I tried two APN apps from marketplace, neither worked. I think the solution is to clear the phone and do another flash but that does not seem to be working...
If I remember correctly, some people had this APN problem but I NEVER had it... They solved it by manually inputting the APN... But seems you are having some weird problems as it doesn't even save the APN.... Try again inputting APN manually and save it properly ..... If it doesn't save then try CM 10.1 from link I gave earlier.... That is also a cooooool and smoooooth ROM with many more features ....
And make sure you install a new ROM only after a full wipe and also system format after taking backups of your apps, etc obviously ....

When I tried to install the newest stable CM I did do a full wipe (according to the TWRP v2.5 ). That's why I don't know what to do now. I can't seem to get Paranoid Android off / change to a different ROM.
Any ideas?
Okay so I have put 3 different versions on now and they all look and work great...except no cell connection, no apn's. I saw some people fix this by replacing their BB via smartflash but I can not do that because I get timeout errors. Smartflash doesn't work at all. Neither does the LG Update tool from w/n that toolkit. The only thing that does work is flashing zip from sd card and changing the recovery image via adb in that toolkit. I can not find any methods of replacing the BB except via Smartflash.
If you get timeout errors in smartflash, then do this trick.... When you click "Start" in smartflash and the flashing process starts then immediately pull the battery back inside phone and then you shouldn't get timeout errors ..... This always works for me.....
nope...exactly the same:
00:00.0 Sec ownload Start...

I live in Canada, my provider is Wind Mobile. This was originally a T-Mobile phone from the US. I bought it used, it was unlocked and running an older version of CM. The actual model number is P999DW
For convenience I just want to recap the issue:
I'm open to ALL ideas! On the all in one toolkit that I downloaded from the first reply only a few options work. The LG Update Tool and Smartflash...whether using them via the AIO toolkit or just using them independently always error out with some sort of communication based error. I can repartition and change the recovery image but that seems to be the only options that work from AIO toolkit. My understanding of the problem is that there is no, or an incorrect baseband file. The phone is behaving almost like a tablet. It won't search for networks and it doesn't even give me a SIM error, it's just not looking for it at all. I have formatted sys and repartitioned and wiped and re-flashed several different ROMs (Paranoid Android, stable CM, tonyp CM 10.1, etc) but this problem remains.
What? Do u have a P999? I'm not sure, but I don't think that P990 ROM will work correctly on it... In fact it shouldn't even install as the updater script checks whether the phone is P990 or not.... And if it isn't then it should show error and not flash the ROM... Did you change the updater script line to P999 instead of P990 to make it work...

I didn't do anything different. The P999 is just the T-mobile version and P990 is the International/Rogers/etc version. It was previously running CM so I don't really think that is the problem. http://forum.cyanogenmod.org/topic/37457-p999-vs-p990/ The only errors I am getting are communication errors between the PC and the phone...not version related errors.
I would happily put the stock P999DW kdz file on if I could but the only method I know to do that (LG Update Tool via that AIO toolkit) does not work because it is timing out.
Okay so everything on my phone before and also now says it is an Optimus 2X. I started searching after your last comment and does this mean I have a Optimus G2X? F'd up...even the battery says it is a P990 Optimus 2X. Gonna see if I can find any NVflash ROMs for that one since nvflash method is working.
Use this link to download latest Official firmware for your phone
http://csmg.lgmobile.com:9002/csmg/b2c/client/auth_model_check2.jsp?esn=[IMEI]
Replace [IMEI] with your IMEI in the link...
OR
Download firmware from here ... It also gives list of official links .... There are P990, P999, SU660,P990HN firmwares with different countries listed...
http://lg-phone-firmware.com/index.php?id_mod=3
Try to flash it as KDZ (or) extract .bin & .fls files from it using AIO Toolkit and then Smartflash those two files ... If you want to flash only baseband then .fls one is the baseband ....
I'm telling to do this because it may be possible that you are trying to flash wrong KDZ or wrong baseband and that's why, may be, you are not able to do it ....
If you flash v30 firmware then your bootloader will, most probably, be changed to new one .... So consider that in mind also before flashing .....
Or a better solution ..... Natalya said that he/she might be knowing the solution to your problem... So try to consult for that also....
Again, there is a dedicated development for P999 also on CyanogenMod apart from P990 http://get.cm/?device=p999 ...

You just got a bit ahead of me in writing this comment ... I couldn't see it before writing my reply .... So one of the methods for confirming your phone is to look beneath your phone battery on the phone and another is to go to the first link I gave above and insert your IMEI also there in the link and then see what firmware download link LG returns .... Phone model will be also written in the download link, so you can check there also....
Hey all,
I just got a notification on PC companion that a new update was available. "Jolly good!" I thought, and without hesitation, I clicked "update". Alas, that turned out to be a bad idea. My PC gave me an error: " An error has occurred and the phone / tablet software update was aborted. Click retry to restart the phone / tablet software.". I clicked retry, followed the steps presented to me, but got the same exact result on the second and the third try. When I try to start my phone now, it says "software update failed, please connect to you computer" or something of the sorts. Has anyone run into the same issue? And if so, have you managed to fix it?
The phone is a Dutch T-mobile branded version.
edit: I'm ashamed to admit I hadn't properly searched around, and thus I didn't know the update service existed. Currently, I'm trying to replicate the success this post spawned. Will report back with results.
update: no luck yet. The update service has been stuck on this position for about 20 minutes now. Not good. Any ideas?
2nd update: failure. I get this screen. Again, any ideas?
3rd update: When I plug the phone into a wall charger, it goes into a loop of completely off -> red led -> sony logo -> "software update failed, make sure the phone is connected to the computer and try again." -> repeat. This means I'm probably just discharging it at the moment. I have no idea what the current battery level is, because it wont start to a single screen showing it. I cant be sure it's above 50% like this.
Thank you in advance.

Hey all,
I just got a notification on PC companion that a new update was available. "Jolly good!" I thought, and without hesitation, I clicked "update". Alas, that turned out to be a bad idea. My PC gave me an error: " An error has occurred and the phone / tablet software update was aborted. Click retry to restart the phone / tablet software.". I clicked retry, followed the steps presented to me, but got the same exact result on the second and the third try. When I try to start my phone now, it says "software update failed, please connect to you computer" or something of the sorts. Has anyone run into the same issue? And if so, have you managed to fix it?
The phone is a Dutch T-mobile branded version (C6903).
Thank you in advance.

I get the same issue when i tried to update OTA to the .593 O2 UK branded firmware. I am rooted though (but still locked bootloader) so just assumed that was the problem but perhaps not.
Anyone any ideas?
Try with Sony update service.

I'm ashamed to admit I hadn't properly searched around, and thus I didn't know the update service existed. Currently, I'm trying to replicate the success this post spawned. Will report back with results.

Use flashtool and flash your phone, http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2464389

It turned out to be a driver problem; fixed by using another computer. For some more details, see this thread.
