Will we still get ota after using this update? Just wondering because if it is not official I still want to be able to receive the official one.

Why would anyone wonder if this is official? Where was it ever indicated by anyone, let alone LG or T-Mo, that this was it?
One thing is certain... this latest leaked build is a stock and un-rooted ROM, so future over the air updates will still work.
It was just strange it was available to the public when unofficial. It never said it was unofficial either.

I sure hope there is an OTA update, I am one of the ''lucky'' ones with LGP999DW phone and cannot update it at all, it keeps saying my phone is up to date and there is no update available.
Where do you see the dw or dwp. All mine says is lgp999 in about phone

You have to connect it to the LG update tool to see it.
I have never been able to get the OTA to work on the stock rom and being unrooted. From the day I got the phone it always has told me that it could not check for updates because of an authentication error. Same thing happens with this new leaked GB rom.

In a brief search, I was unable to find the LG Updater on the LG site. I ended up downloading it from a post in the dev section of this board.
I don't think any G2x customer was ever instructed to do anything other than wait for an OTA.

I got it off the LG website. It was around a while before the update was released. You could check fir updates using it. More than likely, this tool is made for unbranded users who wont get a TMO OTA. People who bought an LG G2x not a T-Mobile G2x. This is the only way they can update I'd think.

Here's the tool:

It says for me that my phone is up to date however. LG customer support says there is no update yet.

I'm still waiting for my GB update... Am I alone?
I just plugged in my friends g2x phone into my PC and his phone updated manually to BG without issues using the LG software...
Then I plugged in my phone, and it still says that my phone is uptodate
Wish LG would allow a force update!
Anyone else still waiting for GB?
Oh look its THIS thread again...
While you wait feel free to try ANY of the gingerbread ROMs in the dev section...
Maybe I'm an id·i·ot·ic, but i didn't find anyone having problems using the LG update tool to manual update to GB
I finally just rebooted my phone, and now the update is available using the LG update tool.
HA! You like apples?

No. OTA was from T-Mobile. Even T-Mobile customers aren't getting it any more as far as I know. They announced a few weeks ago that the OTA rollout was over. The only way to update now is thru the LG updaters.
Not over the air, no.
You can always use the LG updater tool, but yeah, if you're using another carrier with your phone don't expect the OTA to be pushed to your phone

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.

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?

I think it is available. I am on 2.3.6 and checked. It said I had an update but servers were busy and it would try again. I tried to check again but now it says I'm updated and I can check again in 24 hours, which is frustrating.
No update. I'm on stock unrooted 2.3.6. Checked and I'm up to date.

Its the same 2.3.6 update that they keep rolling out in waves.
I have the stock GB but rooted with cwm. I got rid of all the att crap with root installer. I took the OTA 'update' and after restart it reported the update failed. Also corrupted my encrypted sd card. dunno why. it won't 'continue update' as grayed out. Especially pissed now as OPs are saying this isn't even the (long awaited) ICS update.
My advice: ignore this update.
I'm waiting for a stable ICS from Samsung to show up on xda; I'll flash that.
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I727 using XDA App
Can someone edit the thread title to remove ICS from it? It's irking me.
Yes I keep seeing this thread get bumped and want to go insane
Don't be so negative guys. They roll out OTA really slowly. Sometime over a month or two. This might be real.
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
Unofficial OTA is v21y
v21y is highly NOT RECOMMENDED!!!
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.
