Hi, so I recently aquired a LG optimus 2x (P990-hN) and i noticed it was on android 2.2.2 so i downloaded and installed the LG update tool. I updated to gingerbread and I checked for updates again. I was told there was a newer version. I tried to go through the update and now I keep running into a snag, when I hit update it goes through everything until I hit a screen asking to back up the phone so I do so and hit the start upgrade button, but all that pops up is "An Unsupported operation has been attempted" .
I don't know what to do I followed all the steps properly and still nothing
... any suggestions would be appreciated
THANKS

Hi, If you did not figure it out try this :
1. Open LGMobile Support Tool
2. Connect you're device on the computer
3. Options -> Upgrade Recovery
I've just did it 2 days ago .. same Error like your's .. Now I have latest STOCK ROM - Android vs. : 4.0.4 ( P990-30a ) BUT the Battery is draining much faster than the previous Version ( Now : 21h:19m51s - previous almost 2 days ) with wifi on all the time, sync on all the time .. now it's you're decision ..
Good Luck ! :good:

This worked for me and I had given up hope trying to download it lol. I like it better than Gingerbread but find it slower to react and not as snappy moving around or opening apps. Strange lol.
Sent from my LG-P990 using XDA Premium 4 mobile app
The Alt+F4 did the trick for me also.
P990, international version, with Android 2.3. The update recovery method did not work.
Before this I tried various drivers and LG Suites, but nothing worked until Alt+F4.

This morning I made an update via LG Pc Suite. The update was a large one but could not "see" what it was. My phone is rooted. After the update was finished I have lost root rights, lost the nvidia app, all pre installed games, I have rooted the phone again, tried to install rom manager and restore a back up made a week ago but also not working. The phone kept giving a failure notice when trying to run Titanium back up. I eventually did manage to manually install the last back up from recovery, but now phone is stauck on LG boot screen. Any help please. I think the only difference after the update this morning was the V10d instead of the V10c. thank you for your help.

I wouldnt have left you like that.
Well the solution was found here: http://www.usp-forum.de/lg-p990-opt...-lg-p990-optimus-speed-flashen-anleitung.html
Its in german but basically it says no more than things which are common sence to all devs but for a guy like me its like rocket sience. Its the smartflash procedure with a german rom.
The bad thing is that I have lost at least 6 hours of my life only to found this tiny little program that does wonders. Anyway I am really pissed off with LG because the rolled out an update (be careful out there with LG PC suite) which basically messed up my phone.
Cheers.
Well, 2 my experiments with official LG update ended up with "bricked" phone where only SmartFlash helped. I strongly discourage anyone from using it
This morning i tried searching for a new phone software update via LG PC suite and I got the notification that there is an update for the phone. Undortunately I cannot "see" what the hell this update is for. As I mentioned on the first post above, this is a rather large update. Does anyone know what this could be? Could it be a LGE Version (V10d)?

I have called LG customer service to ask them what this update is.. "If your phone is working properly you should not do the update" he said to me.... Sorry? Why do you release an update then?? "This is made automatically, the phone always finds updates"... so why didnt it find last week? "Well this may be a problem with your PC" What???? are you crazy? So you are telling me that when the 2.3 rolls out I shall not do the update becaue my phone works fine? "Yes Sir". I want to know what this update is... "This is the call centre sir, we do not know"...
Well If there is one reason to change the phone it would only be because of the customer service and their unreliability...
Customer service is everywhere the same,at least they picked up your phone
And yes, they dont have these informations usually, and getting them when responsible project does not issue any changelist is problematic. Its more like project management
issue , which should not be big suprise considering all the troubles...

I give up. I have called US (live chat). No help there. LG Swiss gave me their service centre office (another company).... nothing..
Well it must be a ghost update chasing me around.... hmmm root and ROM is the solution.
This morning I got an update message from the LG Updater that there is an update to download. This time it shows that the the New Version is V10D.. I am running on V10C.
Can anyone tell me please:
a) Should i update or not? The phone is rooted running stock rom
b) Does the "D" version imrpove something?
thank you
First off, thanks for the link..really appreaciate it. It work..my limping super soft brick 2x now can breathe again. Those german forum was not bad..a step by step instruction was given for newbie like me.
Owh btw, i say..no need to change to 10D as it is for german vodafone branded firmware while 10C for open firmware, that what it said in the link you gave us above.
Newbie on the block.
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.
Sent from my LG-P970 using XDA App
Yeah maybe just 10b
Sent from my LG-P970 using Tapatalk
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!
Soo i just bought a LG Optimus 2x speed.
This is what i did:
- I Charged it fully

- I plugged the phone in the computer
- It said new software available, so i pressed update
- It said update failed, please remove battery and put it in again, turn it on and press try again
But everytime I do it fails! Now it's stuk in update mode!
Anybody please anybody got a fix for this?
Root it and install cm7 on it
Or try the ota update function (settings>about>updates (i think))

I think you misunderstood, it's stuk in sofware-update mode! I can't do anything
I had the same thing. I tried everything and nothing seemed to work. Then I found an application called Smart Flash, I don't know how this program works out what to do with it, but I kept pushing done buttons and suddenly there was some kind of reaction on my PC and after I removed the battery and replaced it again the phone was back in recovery mode. the next problem was that there was no more OS to run. But the pc was able to find the phone again so I downloaded some mod and the problem was fixed.
So you need to google for Smart Flash.
The file is called: LGOptimus2x_smartflash.zip

Hi you can download the kdz of v30a from here http://csmgdl.lgmobile.com/swdata/WDLSW/LGP990/APNNDW/V30a_00/V30A_00.kdz
Download AIO from here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2020737 use it to extract kdz to smarthflash format. You will see a folder called v30a. Then you can use smartflash from aio toolkit to flash it. Every instruction is shown in aio toolkit

But my phone is still slow as he**.
Thinking of flashing cm10.1 (if i got it right with the dot), yesterday i flashed my wifes samsung gio with unofficial jb 4.2.1 and it was smashing
I had some problem with cwm but that was something with the sd card and easy to fix, she is happy and i loved the interface.
But what custom rom is the best (stabile, with least or none bug) and in swedish lang.
If you can please link where to find the files.

I´m stuck to.
After flash "LGP990AT-00-V30a-EUR-XXX-NOV-30-2012+0_AP.bin" could you update with the LG mobile support tool to ICS?
Hello,
probably this question was asked a lot but I can't find anything that can help me.
I've latest ICS software on my LG Optimus 2X (4.0.4) and I would like to root my phone. I've checked USB debugging mod and unknown sources, tried every method I've found and still can't root my phone. Also I've installed drivers for my phone and tried on other pc, same think. I've tried method without PC, Z4root. It starts to root and in one moment app crashes and I must restart my phone to open it again. Super one click stuck on step 5 or 7. I read threads about that problem and I couldn't find any usefull. Please help. What's wrong? I really need to root my phone because it starts to be slow and I'm already sick of running background apps.
Thank you for help
I've finally made it. I've download all in one tool kit and in main windows pressed ''I'' button and installed NVFlash and it worked finally
