Hi,
I had this phone for ages now and I think it's time for me to update. I want to upgrade to V20B (and then install KK on that)
My phone came with Taiwan ROM (I'm in Australia) and of course I'm on V10d, and the timezone always keeps on resetting to the Taiwan (no matter what I do in settings)
So, I would like to know if I can install another countries ROM (to avoid timezone problem again), and if yes which one would be best to work in Australia and on my phone? Do I have to download Taiwan?? Since http://lg-phone-firmware.com/index.php?id_mod=15 has none for Australia
Thanks
Update to European v20A and unlock your bootloader from there.
Should be no problem regarding the region I think and as far as I know the v20A from Europe is the easiest to unlock bootloader.
Just flash it with LG flash tool and make sure you have all the drivers (LG and fastboot) installed correctly.

I installed EUR-XXX and now I have no reception on my phone! Everything else worked just fine except for the reception and viewing hardware info on the settings etc.. gonna install Taiwan ROM now :/
Why dont you take the opportunity to try our custom ROMs?

You should try with Taiwanese stock Rom. It probably has correct baseband.
If you want custom ROMs, unlock now and install it.

Thats what I did. I installed Taiwan V20B, rooted, unlocked bootloader, installed clockworkmod and Vanir

Hello
Something weird as hell is happening to my lg 2x (p990h), I am from Sao Paulo, Brazil
Last week everything as fine, using Vivo as carrier, no problem, but the device did not work with TIM (no know reason), but it was no big problem since Vivo is my phone co.
But now Vivo does not work here, and I can only use Claro SIM card to make it work and i HATE Claro.
What happened to my phone and what I can make to get it back to work proper ?
I even reflashed baseband to see if it was not a baseband problem, and nothing, same problem
Went to Vivo store to replace the SIM, and even so no luck...
Installed CM7 to see if I could recover some stuff by placing a custom ROM, and nothing...
It recognizes the networks by their names, but no phone signal at ALL, and when I try to register at the mobile network settings, it just can´t get anything
Tks
I think thats a problem of vivio, got you a signal in an other town ?
Gesendet von meinem LG-P990
You didn't wrote what exactly happened. I Flah stock rom (v20s) and find matching ril. Then try again.
CM7 require V10 ril only.

Hi

I actually found BIN_LGP990AT-00-V20q-EUR-XX-JAN-24-2012-0
That Europe one is best suitable for Brazil
And vivo used to work with no problem before
So if i use this ROM it will be ok ? Ir do i have to fix another stuff to make it get signal ?

If you flash stock rom, you don't need to xhange/fix anything. It is needed only on NON-STOCK based roms.

Hi
tks
I got it now, and my phone is back and good
But Vivo still not working here, dunno why or even if the carrier blocked its IMEI number, because it was working fine until 15 days ago
But Claro is working fine
Do you know anything that could be resposible for that ?
tks
When I try to check for updated via OTA it says device not registered yet. Did anyone saw this message ? Where the hell do I need to register?
ps: even that some operators are already selling the p880 here in brazil, the oficial lauch of this phone will be on this wednesday. Could that even possible be related to this error message?
When you manually flash .kdz files, most likely the file is not from your country. The only way to get it back is by using LG software and repair your phone to your country's firmware.

he phone update itself (not via OTA because it didnt worked for me) to the latest firmware by CHECKING YOUR IMEI. It means that if your firmware is EURO for example, and you install Asian firmware for example, it wont update to the latest Asian firmware, but to the latest EURO firmware because it will check your imei, not the firmware you have. =(

Thats normal.
They have somehow a kind of data base where are the produced devices.
To detect the latest firmware based in the installed firmware, they need to have some "tool" to search "inside" of each device. Like that java tool from nVidia to search the last drivers for example...
And if we want official we should leave the phone like it cames from factory, official... If we mess with FW and other stuff we can not expect that official support guesses what we've done or what we want...
Some persons opinion is that the official should give the latest original firmware, in case of need to go back to original. Others, that it should give the latest firmware based on the installed...
Allways someone complains cause its hot, or cause its raining, or because its cold... The perfection to everybody just don't exist

Yeah, i think they should check by checking your FW not IMEI. Thats sad because im nver gona receive the updates I want, only if I go back to stock FW or update via KDZ, but thats not a simple easy task to do all the time.

No. updateing via KDZ is easy, but doing everytime would be like pain in the ass (from 10c to 10d , then 10e etc etc etc), because everytime i would have to do backups and start all over again, since I wouldnt have OTA updates, nor LG Suite updates.

Why the need of all that process?
You can update from V10A straight to V10F...
I thing that LG Suite, once that is configured with european settings, should give you the updates to the european version.
But for now I don't expect updates in a very near future...

Mine works. Never receive the update though. But it doesn't say Device is not registered yet, instead it tells me that I'm using the latest OS.
I'm using Open Europe v10h, while my stock should be v10e Indonesia.
What I did when flashing the kdz is this: I tried updating the usb driver tool, in that application, I chose United Kingdom as my home country. When it's done updating, I flashed the kdz. The reason I did this is to be able to update to JB on the go, if that thing ever hits O4X.
what about wifi? why did u scrape off model? do u have F180L?

Dude, I think you're asking in the wrong room, this room is for Optimus 4X HD.
Anyway, assuming our devices run the same, you can always revert back to your original ROM by flashing it manually through KDZ updater or something like that.
The message telling your device isnt registered has got nothing to do with your phone performance, only you wont be able to get OTA update (which you can always manually flash)

For Mexico the latest (and the only one) is V10A.
I saw two V10A versions, don't know the difference between...
You can download the one that I think it is the latest here:

About hsdpa+ I don't know. to update you don't need root but, its better to have it, just because like that, you have more control on the phone and apps.
You can un-root it at any time, takes two minutes to un-root.
You can try to upgrade to v10f, if the hsdpa+ doesn't work, you can downgrade to your latest official version.
I have the stock rom with no root (C6603) running android 4.1.2 on build number 10.1.A.1.434, it refuses to update to 4.2.2 over the air or using sony pc companion, I avoided rooting this time because I have apps the don't work when the phone is rooted (banking), I'm with virgin media but the phone is unlocked, is there a way that I can get this update without having to root the phone??
thank you for your time
There is no update to 4.2.2 for UK unbranded handsets. I assume that is what Virgin supplied you with.
Enter *#*#7378423#*#* in the dialler then look in Service Info -> Software Info. If your Customisation version is 1270-7689, then you have a UK unbranded device and cannot officially update yet.
You can download one of the many ftf available in the general section and flash it with flashtool however. That does not require root.
Sent from my C6603 using Tapatalk 2
Here is a link to change the customisation number of your device (root required) that will make PC companion believe you have an available update to download. I tried this amd it worked first time
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2311211
However if you do not want to root the devixe, then simply using flashtool and your stock 4.2.2 .ftf file you will have no problem achieving what you wish
Hope it helps

I'm in the same boat as you, haven't found the time/patience to flash a stock firmware that actually receives updates. Unbranded UK users are being completely ignored by sony.
I'm already feeling bad for buying my phone via expansys on release.

Why not just flashing an 4.2.2 rom via flashtool. No root required.
Sent from my C6603 using Tapatalk 4 Beta
I live in Portugal, should I flash the Portuguese unbranded firmware or the Spanish which is in the latest version?
Do I have to delete my data to flash the new firmware?
... sorry for asking, I know that somewhere in XDA there are adequate answers, its just that it would be much nicer if Sony would just release the unbranded firmware for all unbranded Xperia Z's! I'm a software developer myself, and cannot think why, after Sony releasing the latest firmware in the UK (branded), would not release the unbranded version since the only relevant think is the country customization which must already have been achieved in the branded firmware.

Well I don't know of there is a Portuguese one. I honestly flashed a Chinese stock rom and i just check I have Spanish and also Portuguese languages. U really can flash any stock 4.2.2 rom u like. I don't know why unbranded devices don't get an update mine is unbranded too and I had to flash a stock firmware. But it wasn't a big deal. And u don't lose if u don't choice wipe data ur data but there some ppl that had severely issues flashing without full wipe. My flash went without any issues or data wipe. But I can't 100% promise it will work by u without issues too.

Do you know what tools I can use in mac or linux? The official stuff only works well on windows. I know there's a flash tool for mac but there are no up-to-date tutorials, maybe I'll risk it, this 2 firmware updates behind is not a comfortable place to be.

Sadly for Mac I have no clue to be honest. And yeah the 2 softwares below make a difference they slightly calibrated the screen even more and also camera a little bit more. This how the phone should had been released.

yeah, my version is
United Kingdom Generic UK 1270-7689 10.1.A.1.434 R14A 10.1.A.1.434 R14A
basically the unbranded and yes I bought it pre-paid from virgin media as I had a contract with them and could get the phone cheaper than I could get it online, find this pretty insulting that they have just ignored a huge portion of their consumers again, they did this with the last phone I had with them which they actually canceled the updates past android 2.1 even though people had 2.3.7 running on it fine at the time and even have jb 4.1.2 running (partially from the sd card of the phone) on that handset, sony release great devices and just leave them with little to no support, I'm tempted to boycott them in the future if this is the legacy they wish to leave behind, very sad since they have well polished hardware, any news on a possible release date for us ?
Im in the same boat and have a generic UK device stuck on 4.1.2 , what stock ROM is recommended to flash onto UK devices so they still receive OTA Updates etc? , really do not want root on the device at the moment due to Sky Go apps etc.

Ask in the thread, or in Q&A, don't clog up the general with these simple question threads. But yes, follow the tutorials (Pro-tip: Use the search function! It's super useful!) for flashtool and flash any ftf from any region, some have different apps pre-installed etc. you can use them from any region. I bought a UK sim-free Xperia Z and I've flashed Taiwanese, German and Belgian ftf's.
No harm in trying, just make backup before. I'm on c6606 but in US and have always flashed UK or EU branded and they worked fine I just had to input my APNs for cell coverage.

I called t mobile US today. They have me the run around of we are testing it. Then the lay just stopped talking after I said most other TMo around the world have released it as had the generic US. The lay wouldn't give me an ETA. Then she didn't want to talk to me when I mentioned they missed several 4.3 versions.
All in all, I wouldn't wait on them. Wait for a pre rooted on here and go for it.

C6006 user here. From experience, there's not much difference between C6606 and C6603 firmware beside the band and customization.
Download the lastest FTF, make sure its for C6603, and flash.
As a precaution, tick "Baseband" when flashing.
I think you should try Canadian Bell?
