Software Update - T-Mobile LG G2x

According to LG software update should be available. When I go to Mobile support page and select T-Mobile G2x and click on phone software update it has LGP999DW software upgrade available. I've tried t connect the phone with the phone app and check for update and it says no update available?!? Anyone tried that?

The phone model wasn't even listed among the available for upgrade and I just checked the other day....

is this not the lgp999dw?

it is, just downloaded it and it says i already have the lastest software

wait a sec, another windows just opened. my driver is being configurated for my new software.......this better not be just updating my lg driver

after all that it just said my software doesnt need to be updated......

thats laaame

The link to the LG desktop software has been posted at least three times. The first thing it does is install the proprietary LG USB drivers which you mistook for an update. The Gingerbread update might be available from the desktop app at some point but the OTA update function was activated on the phone yesterday leading me to believe it'll be pushed OTA. Both the desktop app and OTA update check show V10f (the version we're running) as the most current. I'd guess that before the update begins being pushed officially it'll leak so we'll know in advance it's coming. I highly doubt someone will just stumble upon it on the LG site waiting to be downloaded without any forewarning.

I have one question. If you except the OTA update what happens to your root? Does it mess up anything? I am just rooted with factory rom.

If I'm not mistaken your going to have to unroot in ordered to get ota.

as long as you didnt delete anything off of the phone you will get the ota

Couple of newbie questions. When the update is available I don't need to unroot? Also, do I need to unfreeze the apps I froze to get the update?

Uhhh, you are about 1 week to late for this information. Thanks though.
I was rooted, no lagfix when I tried to update. It got to 100% then it said failed. My baseband says I897UCJH7. Kernel 2.6.29 [email protected] #2.
Did the update work or not?
Flashman, how did your OTA update go? Any issues us rooted/unlocked folks should be worried about?
My instinct is to delay the update until I stop seeing posts about hot it F'd up people's phones.

If you rooted and removed anything from stock rom, you're pretty much guaranteed to fail on OTA update. In order to make the OTA download package as small as possible, Samsung uses a diff patch based on the bit differences between stock JF6 image and new JH7 image. So, if you touched the JF6 in any unauthorized way, the patch won't work.
Luckily, you can now use the newly released Kies Mini to do a full ROM update which should be more reliable as you have the entire ROM image downloaded to your desktop and then flash to your phone.

If my settings say i'm at JH7, does that necessarily mean the OTA update was completely successful? It reached 100% then said failed.

What do you mean removed anything from stock rom? I rooted and removed a bunch of the bloatware and did an OTA update with no issues.
I failed along with most other rooted and flashed guys. Luckily I didn't brick my phone in the process. I will wait until some beret update comes along before trying anything ota again.
Sweet life
Nevermind, I guess it didn't update fully cause some of the implemented changes aren't there. I really didn't want to have to run a master clear and have to reinstall all my stuff.

Do you have TouchWiz as your default launcher? and make sure you're on your home screen when you connect your USB cable.
If that doesn't do it you need to get back to JF6 only way or another because Mini Kies will continue to tell you that you have an "unregistered" device until it is at JF6
The reason is because your update failed partially :/
are you guys talking about a new update or just JH7?
We're talking about JH7, some people are still having difficulties getting it on their phone as the OTA is still failing - and if you've failed the OTA you need to reflash to stock before mini kies will work.
when i did the update i was rooted an it didn't fail on install or bootup or anything.
but then again i'm just rooted and nothing else has been touched.

Exactly, I don't think root causes any issues. I was able to check for update on a rooted ROM.
It's when you have a custom kernel etc.

Not really. AT&T has said that the real update will be sent out via SMS text message link, not through the "update software" menu in android.

nope, the closest thing you can get to "forcing the phone to get the update" is the
*#*#CHECKIN#*#* method. and even then all the CHECKIN command does is gets the phone to call home to the mothership and say "hi im here"

Hard to say. Maybe the difference with your Epic is that the update comes from Samsung and on the Nexus S it comes from Google.
With the NS on both updates so far, I was not able to magically make it appear on my device by using the Settings or the checkin dial code. I think that for those it showed up after checkin, it was just coincidence...

Perhaps it is the difference in where the update is coming from, I've been running 2.3.1 with CM7rc8 for a few days now don't really plan to update
The way to force the NS to get the update is to download the zip and go into recovery and update it. No root, changing recovery to apply.
1) Download it (Search forums for it.. its in General)
2) Rename to update.zip if it isnt already
3) Put it on root of sd card
4) Boot into recovery (search forums, if you dont know how)
5) Apply update.zip
6) Reboot... you're on 2.3.2
NOTE: The file you are downloading is exactly identical to what you would get from the OTA. So you're doing the same thing. When you get the OTA, you're downloading it from the same source. The URL was received from aLogCat.

Just updated the thread here with the link. I didn't want to start a whole new thread or have it get lost in another thread.
I just bought my phone from Swappa. It's currently rooted,TWRP and running D80120a.
I received OTA update notification last night.
Will I loose root if I allow it to install?
If so, how can I ignore it and disable the notification?

If you're rooted with TWRP, the OTA won't install, at least it didn't for me. I clicked on the OTA and it rebooted into TWRP, but nothing installed. Rebooted the system, the OTA was gone, and I was still on 20a. You will lose root if you install the 20e, but you can re-root with TowelRoot and I believe you can get TWRP back with AutoRec (I used TowelRoot, but not AutoRec). From my understanding, if you use AutoRec, you will lose Knock Code.
So I tried to update and it went through the process. Even seen the little green android saying installing update . phone rebooted still had root access and about phone is showing the "a" version. Checked for update again and it said phone up to date. This doesn't seem right

I'm guessing you don't have a custom recovery? I had TWRP and the green android was on for a split second before TWRP started and it didn't update. I think if you're rooted, you have to update via the support tool or the pc suite. To get root back, use towelroot. Backup your data, but you should be able to keep everything on your phone if you don't wipe/reset.
Cool thanks!

count me in the same boat :/
have the sprint version of the phone and woke up this morning to a prompt that there was an android update. with my brain not being awake yet i went ahead and told it to update, not thinking about root preventing the update. So went about my morning routine and came back and the phone was booted back up, but obviously the update didn't apply as i was still on ZV4, not ZV5. when checking for update it says there are no updates available.
can anyone help me/us out and post some steps for how to unroot and reapply the update? i'm good at following directions, just too new to this stuff to be able to figure it out on my own

anyone have any tips on forcing the OTA to download again?i've disabled SU, rebooted, and factory reset and it still says i'm up to date when checking for an update. or is there a way to download the OTA and update the phone some other way?
really want to check out this update and see the improvements, just can't get it to go after trying to update this morning while still rooted

I tested all the files and I have no message and signal works perfectly.
woke up this morning to the prompt that there was an update available again, not sure why it does it overnight but won't when i manually check for update..... anyway, i disabled SU, rebooted, then started the update and watched it this time and in the middle of the upgrade it came up with the android guy on his back and it said error. after a bit it restarted again and was back to where i started, no update.
so it looks like i need to unroot. would appreciate any help on how to unroot so i can apply the OTA, thanks!!!!!
Here with a sprint flex 2. First time I tried ota update I was rooted and it failed. A few days later the update notification showed up again, went ahead and unrooted, tried the update and still failed. I'm not sure root has anything to do with update failing now. Could be something else. So far I haven't read about anyone successfully completing update and reporting it.
I was getting the same error message about being rooted even after un rooting the device.
I installed the lg pc suite and upgraded to 10d that way and then re rooted using the method on this forum.
It looks like there may be a flag thats triggered once u root that doesnt get removed even if u unroot it.
ugh! i can't even get my phone to connect to pc suite to try and "fix" it so i can attempt the update

Just got an OTA

Phone just updated to H90120J
Same here
I would say around 3:30am pacific time. Woke up and had it on my phone. 450mb+ file. So definitely not just a security update.
Just Got Mine Updated On LG Bridge.
Just tried OTA from the device and LG bridge, nada.
EDIT: Apparently it's unavailable on LG Bridge for OSX. Fired up Windows 10 in Parallels, connected the device to it, and lo and behold, 20J is available via LG Brridge for Windows.. Switched back to OSX, nope, still "latest". HAH!
Were Any of you guys rooted with recovery before or after?
I am on windows 10. Tried over LG Bridge and OTA directly within the phone. No updates for me. Looking for another method to update....

100% Stock. Just woke up to it around 3am and glanced over and saw the update icon. It had a paragraphs of info after pressing update but rapidly rebooted before I could read anything. I did see the size. 450mb
Here is the only information LG Bridge gave me on the update
Edit* - Also, LG Bridge is telling me that his update is 1.85 GB, not 450mb. Seems like they may have reworked more than they are letting on.
