[Q] fake update on b2a

Hi everyone,
I have the p970h in Costa Rica, and my current software version is V10c. I looked at this page (a page I can't post cause I'm a newbie) that there is V20a for my country, so I tried to get it through the official software updater. When I connect the phone, it does tell me there is an actualization, it goes through all the process and does the update. But, when I check the software, it's still on v10c. And, if I connect the phone, it tells me again that I should update my phone...
Is it normal?
All I want is to get the GB, for battery and speed purposes. I have read the other ways you have posted to do this; but as far as I read in the smartflash thread, the V20x patches there are are intended for lgp970, not p970h, and that can get some troubles, as far as I understood.
My phone is not rooted, and I'd really like to get the update using the program, but maybe I'm doing something wrong. I even tried to fake my country (Mexico, Spain, Germany...) thinking it would do any difference, but nothing.
thank you very much

You did restore factory settings?

Thank you, but the roms you posted there are intended for other countries. Isn't there a risk flashing them? Besides, my phone is p970h, don't know if that's all right.

Tell me your country and what v20 firmware you want for p970h (a,b,c ,etc) i'll be happy to help you make one(its specific for p970h , don't worry !)

Thank you!
I live in Costa Rica (which is, if you don't know, located at Central America). I saw there is V20a for my region, but it says it's for Telefónica. Anyways, I want the most reliable version, don't know wich is, and an easy rootable one, because I've listened there are some troubles rooting V20x (Just in case I would need to)
Again, thank you very much.

Rooting is easy. First extract the kdz file into bin and fls (find extract tool in dev section) then inject cwm with a dd command in linux/ubuntu. Then flash superuser.zip and you re done ;-)

Hi there! I'm from Brazil and my device is the P970h too. I'm using Zeus v6.22 V20N Europe Open and I got NO PROBLEM AT ALL. You don't have to worry about different versions of ROMs. Install it and BE HAPPY!!!

[UPDATE] v20T for Korea

Hi,
I just checked p970 firmwares and i saw this :
http://csmg.lgmobile.com:9002/swdata/WEBSW/LGKU5900/AKTFTL/V20t_00/V20T_00.kdz
It seems to be a new version of GB, but maybe the battery drain from v20Q is corrected...
Could anyone test it (I can't due to my immediate need of my phone)

but basically, Q version is not an asian fw. so maybe this new T is the same as Q but for asia...

Yes maybe,
But what i've not seen is that this firmware is made for KTF, so i doubt it is open for other SIM cards...

if a device is unlocked, a branded FW shouldn't affect that

FW simlock doesn't exist on Android ?

it's device related, FW version doesn't matter

Ok, i didn't know

Is there something new?

yea, if you would, you may flash a sfr branded FW over your orange FW

I'm testing it this night since i'm back at home !
Will update this thread when tested

I just need an advice, since it's a rom for LGKU5900, can installing this could brick my OB ?

I don't think it would brick your phone as I'm currently using a KU5900, and flashed p970's v20o. just don't flash the radios..

You can check the lastest firmware of your phone by
Code:
http://csmg.lgmobile.com:9002/csmg/b2c/client/auth_model_check2.jsp?esn=XXXXXXXXXX
XXXXXXXXXX is your IMEI

Thanks somboons for the link

Somboons, if you change your firmware to another countrie firmware, would that still be efective? i mean, how can this verified your latest firmware, just by checking your imei? you could be using another firmware not from where you bought the phone...

@profyler, just use the link and put your IMEI, if gives you the V10F (what I doubt...) somehow "they" know that you're using another version, if it appears V10E (latest Hong Kong) is because "they" check your version in factory settings based.

just read that this method also works for the 2X, so they might check things on your firmware...(like version, countrie etc)

Please Guys, Can someone make V10f modified that ADDING ARABIC LANGUAGE..
Thanks in advance ..

have been all my O2X life, the european FROYO GB and ICS (now )ROMs and I havent faced any issues. Infact I have always used european Basebands and found better reception.
so, I dont foresee any such issues.
Experts and seniors can comment please

Is the bootloader still locked for this official ics? Just asking for those who tried.

so it means that ics is officially and finally released ???????????????

Yes it is officialy released, yes it has a locked bootloader and yes you need to root it.
That's why i didn't upgrade yet, want to see what RC will do for CM10, will he decide to use the old bootloader or the new.
The problem here is RC only uses what is officialy released, i think that only if the new bootloader is unlocked by LG, he will use the new BL.

don't stress yourself about soft bricking your phone it is repairable
take the time to search through the various forum sections that are some useful "how to" guides on installing / upgrading your phone's firmware

Well said. Also, Odin isn't some homemade crappy software. It's acually a samsung flash tool made by samsung.

If it can't be updated by kies its probably OTA update.
Go to Settings > About Phone > Software update (or simmilar, i use Croatian language so idk exact name in english).

chances are your phone is in a region that has not been given the latest firmware update yet
this is fairly common
your best bet is to use odin and do a manual update to the latest firmware version
make sure you pick the right one for your model of phone
