BIG Mess up after update

This morning I made an update via LG Pc Suite. The update was a large one but could not "see" what it was. My phone is rooted. After the update was finished I have lost root rights, lost the nvidia app, all pre installed games, I have rooted the phone again, tried to install rom manager and restore a back up made a week ago but also not working. The phone kept giving a failure notice when trying to run Titanium back up. I eventually did manage to manually install the last back up from recovery, but now phone is stauck on LG boot screen. Any help please. I think the only difference after the update this morning was the V10d instead of the V10c. thank you for your help.

I wouldnt have left you like that.
Well the solution was found here: http://www.usp-forum.de/lg-p990-opt...-lg-p990-optimus-speed-flashen-anleitung.html
Its in german but basically it says no more than things which are common sence to all devs but for a guy like me its like rocket sience. Its the smartflash procedure with a german rom.
The bad thing is that I have lost at least 6 hours of my life only to found this tiny little program that does wonders. Anyway I am really pissed off with LG because the rolled out an update (be careful out there with LG PC suite) which basically messed up my phone.
Cheers.

Well, 2 my experiments with official LG update ended up with "bricked" phone where only SmartFlash helped. I strongly discourage anyone from using it

This morning i tried searching for a new phone software update via LG PC suite and I got the notification that there is an update for the phone. Undortunately I cannot "see" what the hell this update is for. As I mentioned on the first post above, this is a rather large update. Does anyone know what this could be? Could it be a LGE Version (V10d)?

I have called LG customer service to ask them what this update is.. "If your phone is working properly you should not do the update" he said to me.... Sorry? Why do you release an update then?? "This is made automatically, the phone always finds updates"... so why didnt it find last week? "Well this may be a problem with your PC" What???? are you crazy? So you are telling me that when the 2.3 rolls out I shall not do the update becaue my phone works fine? "Yes Sir". I want to know what this update is... "This is the call centre sir, we do not know"...
Well If there is one reason to change the phone it would only be because of the customer service and their unreliability...

Customer service is everywhere the same,at least they picked up your phone
And yes, they dont have these informations usually, and getting them when responsible project does not issue any changelist is problematic. Its more like project management
issue , which should not be big suprise considering all the troubles...

I give up. I have called US (live chat). No help there. LG Swiss gave me their service centre office (another company).... nothing..
Well it must be a ghost update chasing me around.... hmmm root and ROM is the solution.

This morning I got an update message from the LG Updater that there is an update to download. This time it shows that the the New Version is V10D.. I am running on V10C.
Can anyone tell me please:
a) Should i update or not? The phone is rooted running stock rom
b) Does the "D" version imrpove something?
thank you

First off, thanks for the link..really appreaciate it. It work..my limping super soft brick 2x now can breathe again. Those german forum was not bad..a step by step instruction was given for newbie like me.
Owh btw, i say..no need to change to 10D as it is for german vodafone branded firmware while 10C for open firmware, that what it said in the link you gave us above.
Newbie on the block.

I'm sorry to blunt - but are you really stupid, or do you just like wasting money? Did you not bother to read any of the countless threads in which software upgrades for the P880G are discussed and it is said that it is different hardware to the standard (International) P880? Did you think that you might just get lucky and be able to flash our software on your phone?
I'm sorry mate, but unless you can source the .kdz firmware for your model of phone you are probably going to be left with a very pretty, expensive paper-weight on your hands.

[Q] Random lines through screen after update to v20

So i just updated to V20 Europe Open following this tutorial and the update seemed to go through fine, rebooted, and new firmware installed. After finally setting up the phone as i like, i let it sit to synchronize all my contacts and what not. When i pushed the power button to wake up the phone, there were these random lines over the entire screen, look like blinds.
When i do a battery pull or reboot its back to normal, but everyime i let the phone sit for a couple of minutes and then wake it up, i get the same screen..
Ive attached two screen shots
Any ideas on how to fix this? Thanks.

I had the exact same problem, I didn't find any solution so I had to revert back to v10.
Which v20 did you install? The Portuguese one?

Use the same method that you use to roll back (LGFlash Tool) and install Euro_open V20A.
There is no difference between the euro and PT.

I tried the HK version as well, still having the issue. Do i just need to roll back to V10? Is it a software issue? How come very few people have it if all the versions are the same..?

Might just be a bad flash.
By flashing with LGFlash Tool you don't need to roll back.
Just make sure that you have official firmware, don't use leaked.
To be a hardware problem, you should have it in ICS too...

I tried 3 different routes to get V20A Euro installed, all the installs were successful but the screen issue is still there:
1. LG Flash Tool
2. KDZ_FW_UPD
3. Using LGKDZ hack and LG PC Suite
All of these successfully got V20A installed, but none solved the lines on the screen. I made sure to wipe before and after each install..
Any other ideas?

Perhaps screen is faulty ?

I had no issues when on V10H, and nothing happened to the phone during the upgrade, just remained on my desk. When i revert back to V10H i have no issues also. I tried LGFlashTool to roll back to V10H and now have LG PC Suite find and upgrade the phone on its own, will see if that makes a difference...
Thanks

I see...I ll inform a member in another forum whereas he had the same issue.

Same problem here. Not in such scale but I think it is the same. I had just bought the phone and when I did the update from the official site of LG te problem occured. I have sent the phone to service and I am waiting for it. Does anybody know if that phone has an international DOA??

Went to service, came back with the same problem. They had to replace it with a new one. I want risk to update again. Will stick with 4.0.

I just got a similar problem but much worse seen in the photo below attached my phone was working for a few weeks before this problem came as i was sat reading it, it just appeared while the screen was on. it also appears at boot and in cwm does this happen for you guys coz i think it's more a hardware problem for me.

Not sure what is causing it, but i went to 4 different repair stores, and none of them could figure it out. I sent it in for warranty, will report back what happens..

I had the same problem on my screen all the time , It's gone now for some reason, only thing i did is relocked the bootloader and unlocked it again since then it been running without any problems for almost a month now.
I remember i used the old method to unlock the bootloader , relocked it and i ran stock v20a(with locked bootloader) for like a month without any problems so i decided to try again , i used the official lg unlock method and now even on other roms it seems fine.
This bug is really annoying though hope ya'll get to fix it .

Try download an other v20 firmware, if that doesnt work, i can recommend superxe rom, its realy fast and stable.

I also think that it is a software problem because mine with the original Poland Rom 4.0 worked just fine.After one day of use I decided to upgrade to 4.1 from the original site of LG in Greece.this caused the problem.I believe that the flash caused some malfunction to the gpu.My cousin has the same exact phone for a year now but has never that problem.Maybe LG should give it a look because it seems pretty serious.

I had this problem like 5 months ago
OK read this and follow the exact guide im doing it personally so that you dont have to search! kk
(for getting your phone working)
1.install the phone drivers from the website ( it might show on the com port thingy then )
2. flash only a gingerbread rom or froyo rom because the ICS rom is locked with a bootloader and will cause the lg logo thing all over again if you flash
3.From this link download the gingerbread rom( download the V20A from venezuela )( http://lg-phone-firmware.com/index.php?id_mod=1 )then use the rom convertor ( go to this link for the guide on how to flash http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2144577 )
4. if it works, all you have to do is put a rom on your sd and go on with your life
( PS I suggest you try HUEXXX's IZS ROM or Marvel V9 as they both are really stable and works really well)
as for other roms

your not detecting problems could be anything!
try reinstalling the drivers all over again
or try another computer!
and also the USB CABLE you are using should be lg ones
and if any lg ones dont work use your OB CABLE!!

Tried reinstalling drivers about 20 times;
Tried on another computer still the same;
Tried other (not LG) cable still the same
Today I was at local service center, they said that they cant fix it, so they sent my phone to a better service and they have some kind of box mobile phone fixing tool. Looking forward, that costs 10 to 15 euros. hopefully they fix it.

I tried to root my ATT LG G4 H810 running H81010I using this procedure: how-to-root-the-att-h810-lg-g4 page at androidexplained.com ... I now get a "Security Error" with "Authentication Fail #11" everytime it boots up and then shuts down. I believe I used 10g instead of 10i version (which I downloaded from the root-tmo-vzw-intl-variants-soon-root-lg-t3164765 page at xda-developers.com/g4/orig-development/), but now cannot seem to use any of the recovery methods because I do not know how to push the proper [system.img] file to the root directory. I can get to the "Firmware Update" screen but the hard reset function does not appear to work.
Can anyone help?

Hi, saw you helping a lot of people. Hope I can be next, lol. I'm attempting to repair a botched root attempt on H8110. Apparently, the first rooted image was not the correct one. The phone is stuck in a boot loop with "Security Error". I can get into download mode, but can no longer USB copy the correct image over. What steps can I take to get back on track? Thank you!
