[Q] ICS update for LG Optimus 2X - LG Optimus 2x

Cannot update my LG 2X OS from Gingerbread to ICS. Every time LG update reaches 40% -' Checking S/W version' it says cannot connect PC to mobile. It's so frustrating. I tried removing the battery and rebooting the phone several times but at 40% the connection failure occurs. Can anybody please help. Previously I successfully updated from Froyo to Gingerbread without any hitch. I can't figure it out where exactly is the problem. I connect the phone directly with PC USB port.

You can get your phone rooted and backup your apps and data with titanium backup for example. Then with a custom recovery flash the lg ICS rom and then restore apps and data. These things can be found here on xda. Make sure to make a nandroid backup though, this will probably be explained in the rooting tutorial topic too.

why don't you try update using smartflash or nvflash, it is more easier and quicker than LG updater, or U can use KDZ tools and download kdz file before, here you can find on xda depend on regional u are... v30a or v30b..

LG PC Suite Shows Phone Update Avaialble

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!

[Solved] LG PC Suite does not detect correct firmware version for OTA

I'm really stumped on this one so I hope someone can help.
It started when the v10d update was pushed via PC Suite last night. So I went ahead and happily updated it. Rooting it immediately and removing certain LG apps that I've always removed (including LGHome, LG IME, etc.)
1st major problem happened when I tried to go into recovery (vol down + power), only to remember that I haven't reinstall CWM yet. An LG progress bar appeared, and a full wipe commenced.
That issue was fixed with a Smartflash to an open Euro v10c ROM.
I have now restored to my stock v10b ROM, but when I connect to PC suite, it's telling me that I'm on v10d and there are not updates available! I've tried uninstall/reinstalling PC suite. Even restarting the phone. But I am still stuck with the same message.
I'd like to go through the OTA update again since it saved all my apps and it was (well kinda) hassle-free.
Help?

You don't need root to flash bb use smartflash for this. According to my tests with bb it sometimes fixes the quality of the call nd reduces battery usage but some don't I got new bb + new til this morning form the forums and now its works really great
Give it a go

can someone help? i think i have bricked my optimus x2

Hi everyone,
My x2 is a vodafone, imei unlocked, stock 2.2 and CWM.
Im in the USA now and im using an iphone here so i wanted to update the x2 while not using it.
I read that lg will update trhe x2 to ICS and i had a pending update on my phone which i couldnt install due to a CWM.. Thinking it might be the ICS i went ahead and removed the CWM.
I removed CWM with "r1-stockrecovery-2x-unsigned", This did allowed me to boot into stock recovery. backed up all my data, did a factory reset and looked for update via wifi.
it found the update, downloaded (it was a small file, so no ics i assume), rebooted it self to install the update and thats it.
Now it boots to the LG logo and it stays there.
power Vol- goes to recovery for a brief moment (15 secs or so) and then back to LG logo.
What i have tryed so far to no avail: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1457582&page=2
Uninstalled all LG drivers and software from system, W7 64 bit.
I have downloaded 2x-nvflashdrivers and 2x-v10b-1300166062-nvflash
My comp detects the phone while in recovery mode, but wont take those drivers, hence NVflash cant detect the phone.. Once the phone goes out of recovery more my comp no longer sees the phone as connected.
I know its a lot to read but wanted to clarify in detail as much as i could so we all are in the same page.
UNBRICKED P990 - optimus X2
FIXED!!!
Thanks to a guy on you tube for directions, seach for user "iPhoneIac" tittle "LG Optimus 2x - How to flash to stock rom"
Program used:
SmartFlash P990
SmartFlash drivers, if u see modem driver not working under windows try to do the flash anyways.
Youll need ISO and FLS file as well. I found an open european set.
i can post links but im not sure if its allowed here, if it is let me know and ill post them so others can benefit from it.
Now that i got the phone working i can keep experimenting, i know how to unbrick it now

[Q] P920-925 rom compatibily...

hi!
Sorry bad english, but...
P920 rom compatible with P925g?
And work it, if a p920 cwm backup (2.3 gingerbread) recovered in p925 (2.2.2 froyo)?
too difficult the update in to 2.3 for me...
(after a Galaxy S)
thx answer!
p920 roms are compatible with p925. But you will have to flash a stock p920 baseband first. Thereafter you can put any rom of p920. :-D (Just flash with the lg support tool and it will do the baseband flashing too :-D )
Flashing guide is here

(thanks to the dark lestat)
*v21E firmware is recommended !
You got be careful with recover thing. I have no idea about it.

You probably don't have all the drivers installed. Uninstall what you have, restart, and than install the drivers.
Or maybe you forgot to enable USB debugging

Hey once i had the same issue as your with the b2c setup. :-D
Try to install the b2c app the very beginning of the process. It could probably be something you changed during the process. Changing port to 9002 or replacing the host file.
If you have already changed the above things, undo them.! Restart the pc and try again.
*at the beginning uninstall all the usb drivers + flashing software.
If you still can't solve the problem you may have to reinstall or repair your windows..! I know its frustrating but i had to do it to my friends pc to get over this issue.. :-(
Hit thanks if you value my reply :-D
Sorry, but not working for me this dark lestat's guide...and other guide...
However slightly different yes!
Own version is work:
1. install drivers
2. install b2c...and close (LG ikon on the tasbar)
3. install msxml.msi
4. plug in phone to pc in usb debugging mode (for drivers finishing installation...the phone is on, don't touch)
5. install shttp, setting http port to 9002, backup hosts file, and overwrite it in to MOD folder...
6. run windows enabler and turn on (on the taskbar)
7. run the UpTestEx...and follow dark lestat's guide...the kdz file flashing full automatic (no need boot into download mode, no need unplug the battery...)
8. full wipe
Running LG-920 Optimus 3D V21E on my At&t LG Thrill 4G LG-925 and it works excellent, No problems whatsoever, couldn't be more happy losing the bloatware.
Also if I may add I do receive HSPA speeds on my phone without any base band alterations whatsoever.

Yes sir. The kdz file includes the baseband.
Sent from my LG-P925 using xda app-developers app
? Which. Kdz file has just the p925 baseband? The v10e has both.
EDIT: Was able to flash the .fls to my phone to restore the P925 Froyo BB. Was able to do the .kdz a few nights ago and get my p925 bb back with v10e, but tried last night to flash back to froyo after trying a p920 BB and when I flashed the v10e BB the phone was still recognized as p920. This is the reason why I ask the above question.
Thanks in advance,
