Hi,
So I brought a 2nd hand LG 4x, and when it arrived I factory reseted it just in case etc, and set it up, but it was on 4.0.1, so I tried to update it using LG PC Suit, but it kept on failing, so I tried with KDZ and it also failed. So I rooted the phone and added CWM and tried to flash a custom rom, but I got the series 7 error, and a message saying that my phone was not a P880 but a X3. Any idea why this would happen? I opened up the build.prop file and it says ro.product.model=LG-P880 as id assume it should but it does say ro.product.device=x3 so I dont know if that means anything? Unless its some kind of amazing forgery it is a p880 im familiar with the phone, Im just very confused.
Cheers, Dan
I will request to have your thread moved to appropriate forum so that the right experts may be of help.
Just a thought, but could be a hiding to nothing:
Have you tried to update via Software Update? It should be accessible either through the app drawer or via Settings

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 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

I recently purchased a P880 used from eBay. The device was/is in like new condition and was in a factory fresh state when i received it. I put in my SIM card and memory card and began to use the phone as usual after setting up the device. today, I went to send a picture mail, and the message got hung up on sending, so I held the power button and selected reboot from the menu. the device rebooted. Upon the device coming back up I was greeted with "Android is upgrading... starting applications". And it just hangs here. I can hold power and vol - and get into stock recovery, I have wiped caches, and data and reset to factory defaults, but I'm always greeted with this message. The device seemed to be rooted when I got it, as it had SuperSU in the apps, and some of my root requiring apps worked without issue. I never rooted the device myself, nor did I install any custom rom, kernel or recovery. Ive had the device for about 24hrs. I'm beginning to think maybe it's model (has some strange options in recovery relating to UART Debugging Logs). Regardless, my issue persists and I am at a loss as to what to do next. If anyone can help me along or give some ideas on how to recover I'd be grateful. -jhayton
Can't you try kdz flash and make it stock? Format factory before and after kdz flash.

I think the software was damaged by the one who got the phone before.
If you don't do anything stupid, it will not happen again.

Sure you can try flashing new firm with KDZ if u still have problems.
And would be nice if u share
What would you like me to share?
Hello
I am having a little trouble with my LG Optimus 4x HD. The day before yesterday I unlocked my phone an dinstalled clockworkmod. Yesterday I managed to install cm-10.2-20131211-NIGHTLY-p880.zip , I had some trouble but in the end managed to get it to work, but I had no Googleapps. I can't exactly remember what I did, but it resulted in the phone freezing at the LG logo.
I searched the internet and found this guide: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2069723, but I got stuck on part 4. First perhaps minor problem, my LGMobile Suport Tool looks nothing like his, second perhaps big problem is that there is no option for the LGP880, the only devices i can pick from are
BL20
KM900
LGD802
LGE400
LGP936
I searched google and the internet some more and found this guide http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1932123 post #3.
I could not get it to work, now all my phone does is show "S/W upgrade Please wait while upgrading..." and in the upper left corner "Bootloader state: Unlocked"
This is what i can think of at the moment, any questions or of more information is needed please ask.
Thanks in advance

I redid the second guide, and now for some reason it worked,
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
