[Q] I cannot update to Gingerbread plz HELP!!!

Hello guys,
I am from Greece and i am a new p990 user!
I bought my phone from Greece but the device was from Vodafone DE.
The gingerbread update is released.
My phone got s/w version V10E , still with Android Froyo 2.2.2.
I was trying to update it via LGMobile support Tool , but all the time i got the same msg : "The Cell phone is the latest version already. So you don't need to update."
Could you plz tell me what i could do? Is it possible to remove vodafone rom and replace it with a stock Gingerbread LG ?
Guide me plz...

Use this link http://csmg.lgmobile.com:9002/csmg/b2c/client/auth_model_check2.jsp?esn=IMEI_HERE
replacing IMEI_HERE with your own IMEI, it will tell you what version your phone should be.

Link seems to be broken...
i think i found a solution. Eventually Vodafone Germany got V10E as last version . Probably they are still without gingerbread. i took the decision to download from xda the gingerbread rom and trying a manual update on my phone.

Code:

there is a collection of kdz check on that.

Job done .. i flash it! F U Vodafone GERMANY ! now i got gingerbread!
Ty guys anyway!

froyo 2.2.2 newest version?

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

[Q] Warranty Stock Rom questions

Hi
My simcard reader has died on me and googling suggested it was a baseband/RIL problem. Only that those problems surface from rom changes etc. I have not changed my rom so its been decided it is purely a hardware problem.
I still have warranty and will need to unroot and put stock rom back. I have done that using NVflash, I am just worried they will suspect I rooted the phone. I bought the optimus 2x in Australia and fear they will know I installed the european rom ( not sure if the roms are the same or not ). What can I do to maximize the chance of LG honoring my warranty?
I have updated the official firmware to ICS, I know for certain it is out in europe, but i was not sure if ICS was out in australia. This is another potential suspicion. Help appreciated, leave thoughts and comments on how I should go about doing this.

BUMP sorry for doing this BUT im taking it tomorrow and need last minute help!
I am paranoid they will think it was rooted etc so I want to know if the official ICS software version P99030b is out in AUSTRALIA? (im running this version atm, its official LG but i don't know if this is out in Australia yet. I think I have the european ICS).
Another BIG question I really need to know is how do i flash a rom that is a zip file that has a .bin and fls file? Is this NVFlash?
The rom I found is from here : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1035041
Can anyone let me know what I need to flash these roms? I found the same rom on another site and don't know how to flash it. Please help the warranty expires really soon.

if you have to flash the ROM using the .bin and .fls files....try the AllinOneTool kit by sprosk....then you can unroot...
but the best way is to connect the device to LG update tool....the job is done....you will lose your personal data...so just backup
no one can then find it out....dont worry
hope it helps

Yes, the official Australia ICS is out, you can download it from here, under the Australia section.

If you check out this thread by felipemadox and download the contents, in the instructions (in the downloaded files, not the ones in the thread) there is one part where you can "clear software update registry", that might help.

Seeing as it's just a hardware problem, I doubt they will even look at your ROM.

[Q] XMM6160 baseband

Hi there, i read few threads about baseband problems. i found this in older post (not my phone lol)
Details of my phone are
1) Model Number : LG P970
2) Android Version : 2.2.2
3) Baseband Version : XMM6160
4) Kernel Version : 2.6.32
5) Build Number : FRG83G
6) Software Version : LG-P970-V10d
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
so i guess this answer one of my question, that xmm6160 is froyo baseband the v10x or whatever. ??? is it correct ??
if it does than it would answer my second question, that i can flash any BB no matter if its from froyo, gb, ics and it should work with the phone. am i correct in this or not???
so now the question is, if my phone have xmm6160 BB and everything works fine except the auto time and date. should i flash v30 baseband? you think its worth it ?? is there a way for me to backup my current BB or i need togo the long way and extract it from the KDZ.
last question: if LG didnt release ICS in my region will the v30 BB work in my region, as far as i understand it may not work properly ?? am i correct ??
thanks

Try it... If that dont work, reflash your v10 baseband. That will take 5min
I suggest to download Clock Sync. Uncheck automatic time in option and use clock sync

thank you for your reply, i will try clock sync, about the flashing of BB im guessing that the post i found is indeed a v10 BB bcs the guy said that is phone is still in stock and unrooted, if i extract the v10e KDZ, is there a way to verify the BB version before i flash it??

BB version can be different for each country. A v10e from USA or v10e from EUR will have a different bb
If you want the good BB, take it from your country stock rom. Just need to flash the .fls file

am i correct that all custom roms do not have a bb ? if that is so, then my phone has the xmm6160 which is suppose to be from my old stock v10e
and if im correct about the above, than i should not even try to flah v30 bb, cause my country has only v10x version and not even v20 so ill stick to current BB i got.
and if im wrong can xmm6160 be a gingerbread BB?? that was flash when i had zeus 6.4 or marvel v9 cm7 or cici??
how can i verifay the .fls file that is xmm6161 file or maybe different ver. ??
thanks so much for clearing this stuff for me. :good:

Exactly, custom rom dont have BB. You are on which rom?
That depend... Im on IZS with the EUR baseband and automatic time work perfectly(im from canada). V30 bb fixed auto time problem. But im not sure if v30 bb will be good with your v10d rom. I can only say, try it

[Q] Confused about firmwares/county

Hi
Optimus rookie time. I have tried to understand from the faq but no one has answered this specifically that I can see. I'm in Australia, I have got an O4X from Kogan. It has arrived and has lots of Asian menu's, I have no idea if Taiwan, China or Singapore perhaps so far. It has lots of apps with 'hama' in the names if that helps. This is what is listed in about phone:
Software version: LG-P880-V10d-OCT-16-2012
Build number: IML74K
Baseband version: L6260_MODEM_SIC_02.1216.01
Kernal: 2.6.39.4
I would like to try JB, I get some people hate it, some say it is ok. If not, back to ICS or CM. Which JB firmware do I go for, the euro version or must I get the right regional version for my phone?? If so, can anyone tell what is is or is all that is important is v10d?
Thanks for any advice

Hi. I also got my 4X from Kogan, so I've been through the issues you've mentioned.
First thing I did was update to 4.1.2. I didn't spend any time with ICS, so I can't comment on differences - I WANTED JB and that was that! :cyclops: To update to 4.1.2, I used the LG update software – info about this procedure is here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2069723
To check which version of the LG software to use, I used this URL: http://csmg.lgmobile.com:9002/csmg/b2c/client/auth_model_check2.jsp?esn=
You need to put your IMEI (from Settings / About phone / Phone identity) in the url after "?esn=", and it returns the URL of the software you should download to update your phone. That told me to use the Taiwan version - I don't know if others (eg Europe) are compatible with our hardware - would be interested to hear!
2nd step was to root the phone (as an Aussie, you need to ignore the obvious sexual joke in that phrase!) – I used the instructions at http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2180688 with some help from the better English at http://www.lg-phones.org/how-to-root-lg-optimus-4x-hd-android-4-1-jelly-bean.html [NB – the comment below this points out some errors].
The next step was to install Titanium Backup and use it to remove all the non-English apps. I had no problems with that step, so whatever they are, they're not critical.

G'day, nice one. Will look into links later. Appreciate the reply

Thinking about this a bit more, if you only want to flash the "official" (Taiwan, in your case) updated firmware for your phone, you can use the LG Update tool "as is". The instructions in my earlier post can be used to flash other versions and a lot of people seem to be using the Euro 20A. I'm out of my depth here though, so hopefully someone else can confirm:
Can any version (ie any country) firmware be flashed onto any 4x?

Ok, all done. Running jelly bean fine. Think it better than ics, using iodak kernel. Thanks for help. If anyone comes across this thread, when flashing to jb using kdz, the 100‰ battery is essential before flashing
