You can also try find KDZ for your firmware and try CWM injection method (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1512203) just use google to find your kdz. didnt work for me though

Follow this guide and you can flash it over and over again and it will always be ready to root

What does that have to do with the V20J version that the OP asked about?????
I am also trying to root the same version for my girlfriend since she got a job at Koodo mobile and got stuck with this phone which with stock software is garbage compared to her old HTC Desire.
I've been searching for a while and not found anything to do with this software version except this post where you arrogantly told the guy to search first.

I've the same phone and the only way I managed to root and keep stock rom was downloading the v20j kdz file and following the cwm inject method. You'll have to find the kdz file, its here somewhere though
Edit: http://lg-phone-firmware.com/
Make sure phone model is selected and hit ok

I've since given up. I cannot find a working source for the UPK file to perform the CWM injection method. Also half the tutorials and download sites are in another language or converted to English making them less clear because of the translation.
Its my girlfriend's phone and she has no backup she is allowed to use at work so I don't want to risk causing it to be down for any amount of time. She will have to put up with it and bite her tongue when customers ask if she likes it, lol.

Download the drivers and software in LG website. Install it in your PC.

And turn on usb debugging

check if platform modem is enabled in peripherals manager while phone is pluged

Try deleting drivers of lg and reboot pc and reinstall again and
If you have not installed the lg Driver in past it is must be installed

in some rome which is based on lg official version it will update but it will make your phone with lg official rom
in case you are using cm 7 or other which are not lg rom officialy as base it will not update.
but if update in case of custom rom based on lg official rom you will lose root etc.
you will have latest lg official rom

Another question are there a special dricer for OB with cm7
And hiw can i install the adb dricer?

Nope. There isn't. Its the same. Its stilk Android... and there is no need for an adb driver. You can root the easy way with THE BIG NOOB HOW TO! thread in OB General Category.

[Q] T-Mobile update?

Hi,
I'm still on 10h firmware in the UK and there's no OTA update available for me. The LG Support Tool doesn't include the T-Mobile P880 in the list of Supported Models and even after installing the drivers 'succesfully' it won't update.
What's the best way to upgrade the phone? Am I missing something or do I need to flash the Euro Open KDZ?
Thanks
Simon

+1 this. Then root the phone, unlock the bootloader and install CyanogenMod to set your phone free

Another option is:
1. Download the latest KDZ ROM you want from this link: http://lg-phone-firmware.com/index.php?id_mod=15, I recommend the first one (v20a euro open)
2. Install using KDZ method explained in this post: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2069723
3. Root the phone using this procedure: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2180688
4 Unlock bootloader using this procedure: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2224020, use the second method (the one with the script).

Thanks, I've upgraded to 20a so will root and unlock bootloader later. Is there any value in doing a factory reset to clean up everything now I'm on JB?

[Q] Software upgrade failed

Hi All,
im kinda noob in upgrades, so i followed the lg pc suite to install the next version of OS, after everything went smoothly, while updating suddenly it threw an error saying upgrade failed check USB connection and turn on phone again etc.
i did that it went to software upgrade screen but , its like that for 1 hour now, no updates. any help on what im doing wrong would be appreciated.
PS: not using KDZ or any other tools only LG pc suite.
please help meng

1. First go to Settings and USB Connections and Tick LG Software.
2. Then install on PC the USB Drivers for LGEP880.
3. Then open LG Mobile Support Tool or LG Pc Suite.
4. Connect Phone with PC using USB.
5. Now it should appear "NEW UPGRADE AVAIBLE" click on Upgrade.
6. Wait and get some Ice Cream

Linux question!!!

Hello. I have one question. I am having an optimus 4x and i am running v20a....262.001. First of all i loved cyanogen on my old optimus 2x and i want to use it also on my optimus 4x. I know that i have to use euro open v20a,to unlock bootlader, so this is what i have tried: downgrade to v10,update to v20a euro open though kdz updater, and the results?? Cmv was still there(do not know how ). I believe some of my drivers are to right(btw, i am using win7 64x). I am not the best linux user, but i think i can handle them... so i was wondering how can the hole operation be done from linux environment. I use linux on an external usb flash, so i can boot it whenever i want. So iwas hopping that someone could guide me to do the downgrade, and the upgrade the rooting, the recovery install, the bootloader unlock and the cyanogen install.... all from linux environment..... :angel: :angel: THANK YOU REALLYYYYY FOR YOUR TIME IN ADVANCE!!!!

You can't down- and upgrade on Linux. KDZ flashing only works on Windows.
