If you are rooted and have deleted apps, do not think you will get it.
There is a zip file of the update in the development section of the forum

Doesn't work. Error message.

Login to my.t-mobile.com and make sure your phone is set to a MyTouch 4G. I did that, and when I checked my phone I saw that the upgrade was installing.

Is this the 2.2.1 OTA update?

worked perfectly. thanks bro

I was not getting mine either. I called T-Mobile today and they said my IMEI number was still showing for my G2. I gave them my IMEI number and within 2 hours I had the update. She also said even though they don't have the capability to push the OTA update, she said the tech support people have more options and might be able to push it.

I called T-Mo today as my wife and I both bought a MT4G. No OTA 5 hours later. Android Support said you need to make at least 1 phone call to register the phone on the network then it will be scheduled to receive the update within 48 hours. Waiting

I am the opposite as you guys. I have the update waiting, but I refuse to download and install it because I read in another thread that it will give Tmo control of the WiFi hotspot and tether and can charge you after the 14th I believe. And I like my free WiFi hotspot. I don't remember which thread it was though. So I will look into it further.

I want the ota so I can get a full root going...always the wifi tether project if they really do lock something down

My phone was not showing up on my T-Mobile account, thanks for that tip! Hopefully I will get my update soon, just got my phone few hours ago.

Those of you who are waiting on your OTAs, remember to run aLogcat before you download/install to help out those who haven't gotten it yet! I'm running mine now.

that was my post... and unfortunatly t-mo will still be able to charge for hotspot use regardless after the 14th... i dont know if i misspoke (mistyped) or we had some sort of miscommunication...
install your update, root, then wifi tether for free to your hearts content

Has anyone received their update since root has been achieved? Would they pull the update because of this?

Officially: GB is now out for the UK

Hi,
Just to inform those who are waiting to update officially, check now.
For others, here is the kdz if you want:
http://csmg.lgmobile.com:9002/swdata/WEBSW/LGP920/AGBWML/V21a_00/V21A_00.kdz

I wonder if there are any slight changes? There must have been some reason it wasn't released at the same time as the other regions.

Good news, hope this time this UK GB is a lot of improvement than the Germen...

can someone tell us the date of the rom?

I guess it's the same as everybody else, so I don't see the reason for such delay in UK.

So far I have not seen any build number differences in the baseband, kernel, build or date. MD5 identical.

Is this available OTA as i am still being told that my current version is up to date?

my games and apps arent supported wait a while

Damn, keep getting a url not found when trying to download the LG support tool.
btw, can I do this update if I'm locked on T-mobile network? Also, will I loose data? Cheers

I wonder if this is any different to the other one and fixes the battery info problem.
I might have a go this afternoon and see

lol, managed to download the app (was work restrction),
but when installing the LG software it says it's down for maintenance. So they finally release GB and take the tool down that installs it!

It would appear that it is the same release as before the MD5 is an exact replica so no point in updating to this one if you have the other.

Came up saying it needed updating, tried to update, got so far and came up with an error message. I restarted it, then it now says i have latest version, which I dont....any ideas?

Is everybody having problems with the 3D games?
The one pre-installed I have to re-download them in order to play but I'm getting errors when I try to and the others that I have purchased the app says that the game is not a original copy and doesn't even let me open it.
is it just me?

OTA-Did you get it? Withdrawn?

My daughter got it early on. I didn't. I'm having a lot of battery issues and rebooting. I want this update, hopefully it will cure my problems.
Reading the posts here, it seems it may have been withdrawn,
So I ask, Did you get the OTA? When?

I saw in the other post about the update that someone had it waiting for them Monday morning so I guess that means it wasn't withdrawn as of yesterday?

I never got it, either.

My wife hasn't gotten it, but I installed a different kernel. Would that keep her from getting the notice?
I figured if the ROM was stock, she would be ok...

I'm stock. I'm on 2.3.3 and v21e.
I'm curious and just want a show of hands from people who got it after the first couple of days.
Like I said, I did see where someone said they got it apparently over the weekend. This tells me it's not withdrawn?
And isn't the consensus that the OTA goes more smoothly than through LG?

Here's the problem, there's the lgp999DW, DWP, and 2 others that I dont remember off the top of my head. Only 3 of the 4 got the OTA. They're supposed to make the file available, for those who didnt recieve it like they were supposed to, around May 14. At that time I'm sure there should be a way to force load the update for our model.

I did the whole stock format and search for update, did the stock format and connected to my computer, all said the same thing, "Your device is up-to-date. 2.3.3 V21e." There is no current sure-fire way to get the update until they release it.

I just went through the G2x forum at T-Mobile and several reported getting the update today.

OK, found out the update was for lg p999DW models only. If you wanna which one you have, remove your battery cover and right below were the battery goes in little white print you should see something LG-P999DW or LG-P999DWP.

Official OTA is v21e

You can try by offline-upgrading back and forth both versions and check out the battery life

I accidentally thanked you so your welcome , but how is it not official? From what i understand it was an official update from them, i dont think it was a leak either as they even gave out an update schedule, maybe they pulled it but its still 'official' from them.

Follow section 6.

Or...
If you are looking the HE update why not just go with CleanRom 3.0. It is based off of the new HE update and is about 95% stock. The plus side is that most of the garbage (VZW bloat) is removed. It is MUCH faster and very stable.

If you haven't set everything back up again, you can clear data from Google Services Framework and try to "force" the update.

[Q] Searching for Service

I haven't found any answers on this, but once or twice per day my phone will be stuck on Searching for Service even though in the status bar, it shows like 3 bars of 3G or 4G. Data still seems to work, but this seriously drains the battery. I'm on stock unrooted HD. Any advice is appreciated. I already tried a new SIM. I bought this phone here on xda, no box, so I doubt Verizon would let me exchange it.

I know this is a silly question but what radio is installed?

VRLG7 is a downgrade in release but does not hurt to reflash any of the modems to see if it fixes problem and which works better for your area. Affects 3G more than it does 4G..

Maybe root it and try a custom kernel, though I'm not positive that will help. Possibly a total wipe and reinstall of a stock system? If you bought it from someone here on xda, chances are it has seen some mods. Hopefully someone with more knowledge on the subject will chime in for ya. I just hope you didnt buy someone else's problem... :-\

I got it and it had never been rooted before. I rooted it, used custom ROMs, they all weren't my cup of tea, so I unrooted and flashed the stock HD images via ODIN yesterday. I just flashed the HE radio, and it seems to at least be a bit better. I'll keep experimenting.

It's still dropping signal. Sounds like I'll be calling up Verizon tonight.
