I have what is apparently an unbranded LG P970. I purchased it on-line from a vendor in Hong Kong, but it was shipped from Singapore. It arrived with Gingerbread 2.3.4 installed. Software version is LG-P970-V20c. The OTA upgrade option doesn't exist in this version. I have tried to update to ICS using the LG PC Suite / Mobile Support Tool; both tell me there is an update available. But after spending two hours downloading the file, it tells me it can't communicate with the phone. Adding to the confusion, the LG PC Suite identifies the phone as a P970, but the LGMobile Support Tool says it is a KU5900 with v10i software. Huh?
So I want to try using one of the official ICS KDZ ROMs but I don't know which one I should use . Does it matter which one? Any recommendations? Is there an Unbranded version? I'd like the one with the least bloatware and which doesn't disable features (like hotspot) as AT&T is fond of doing to their ROMs. I also prefer an "official" ROM; I've not had great luck wiht custom ROMs. Thanks.

Hi everybody
I'm from Italy but I own a device imported from Holland (NLD) and doesn't seem it's going to get V20l update within few days. Is it possible to flash italian official V20l firmware and then unroot the phone in order to get gingerbread installed as it was downloaded by LG tool? This would make my phone an italian one? I mean that the next time an update will be available will I be able to install automatically the italian update from Lg Tool?
Thanks
Kind Regards
Stefano

Yes. Or you can smartflash a completely stock 20L ROM, download it here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1035041

No. The update tool sends the IMEI to the update server(s), which looks it up in its database to determine which country was the point of sale/intended market.
So the phone will still be identified as NLD, no matter which ROM you flash. (It may be possible to go to a service-center and have the IMEI re-assigned to Italy, not sure.)
LG official version 2.3.4 recently upgraded frequently, free tidy, convenient others to facilitate their own, long-term if the new ROM update, I hope owner ejaculation!

This is not for P990,but I think you can use this with swapping only kernel (or boot.img).
Because of I can use p990 rom onto su660 with this way.

Any news about V20o???? There's a leak but no KDZ yet. The changelog is awesome.
If you can find anything please post it here.
Cheers!
My phone is Hong Kong Ox2. How do I install this Kernel without bricking my phone? It's rooted. Can I flash using CWM? Also, why can't I just update normally? Its says my phone is already updated. Whats wrong?

Kernel can be flashed through CWM. For Hong Kong the latest is v20d maybe that's why you can't update further.
You can, however, update using smartflash or flash KDZ files using the LG update tool. The latter doesn't wipe your device but both unroots and deletes CWM.

Hey there,
So last I checked there was still no official release of the V20 firmware for Gingerbread on the LGP970 for UK networks. Does anyone know why? Are there still plans to release it?
I've held out on flashing my phone and manually installing one of the other official releases, because it looks quite tricky. If I do flash myself, any recommendations on which region's firmware to install?
Many thanks in advance,
J

Same here (Brazil). None of the operators have the V20 upgrade, just the open units (directly from LG).
My CP is from TIM Brasil and I have flashed the Brazil Open version. I've been having no problems whatsoever.
not available GB 2.3.4 in IRAN and UAE now too
hi
i dont no why not available GB 2.3.4 in IRAN and UAE now too ?!!!???!
LG software support is very slow
Apparently i'm running the latest version 2.2.2 according to the update app. Is this right?
Handset is simfree and unbranded. would it have been better to be network branded?

Ok first of all you mean the app from the settings menu right? Secondly this is the latest froyo but the firmware has moved on to gingerbread 2.3.4. But i don't think you can do this update OTA(over the air). So you need lg update tool to update via pc connection. Hope i helped and sorry for this but before you post something do a search.. that is why there are forum rules. To obey them.

Fair play regarding the forum rules.
I've got the update tool installed on the pc stating. The Cell phone is the latest version already. So you don't need to update.
Country, uk
model lgp970
version v10b
Also pcsuite and all drivers installed,
It's a uk model, so can't as yet be upgraded by the lg tool

Nothing my friend. By the way you are lucky because whatever you choose surely will have english language.. do a little search and decide what is best for you. There is stock v20n rooted which is the european open. And there are some custom like zeus and marvel. Hope i helped.

Well, as far as i know LG programs can do that on pc. I have encountered one or two myself. I can't explain it. I don't know if yours is different. But my guess is there isn't a V20 rom released for your country. So check out this thread:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1480392
even if no rom released for my country the R&D should work but apparently it isnt
so i need help upgrading to GB
