[Q] how come my phone says its already updated? - T-Mobile LG G2x

i downloaded the LGMobile Support Tool to update my phone, and i went through the connecting process, the driver scanned my phonoe, but then after it says:
"The Cell phone is the latest version already. So you don't need to update."
what do i do? i really want GB on my phone :[

Is your phone a recent replacement? If it shows up in the LG updater as a P999DWP rather than the original build, P999DW, it won't update. Just curious, if it is a DWP, what does your SN start with (under your battery)? Mine is 106KPQJ

mine was a replacement so do you think we will have to wait until ota update for ours to work?

[Q] V10b latest version? I'v heard there is V10d out!?

My model info:
Model number: LG-P920
Android version: 2.2.2
Baseband version: L6260_MODEM_SIC_01.1042.00
Kernel version: 2.6.35.7
Build number: FRG83G
Software version: LGP920-V10b-JUN-16-2011
when I try to update it, it says, that current version is the latest, but I'v seen that there is V10d out already (July 8th update?)
Hi

It says I dont need the update?
The LG PC update utility says v10b is the latest for unbranded Optimus 3D's too (in Customer Support -> Supporting Model menu)
I have an unbranded phone,my SW version is v10d
I asked LG about that damn update since there is so much confusion about it.
Here is their response:
Mobile Phone Support: Updates are put out for networks as well as the phones so it may be that the update that has been released is not for your network

So no panic guys.
are these updates not OTA??
we shouldn't need to connect to a PC to update the phone these days!

It is OTA, I recieved it to my unbranded phone with no sim card in it, over wi-fi.
I'm stuck on 45% is this normal?
edit phone got bricked but i saved it LG tech = useless
if your update fails or goes into clockwork recovery etc you will need LG mobile update on your pc and install the lg p920 drivers
turn your phone off take the battery out leave it for 10 secounds, connect battery and usb cable hold power and volume up hold it for 10 secounds let go then do it again for 10 secounds
now run LG mobile update click customer support > recover type your imei let it update once finished power up phone now you will get a screen on the phone that says updating let it update
Argh. My phone now just keeps booting into ClockworkMod Recovery.
Anyone know how I can fix this?
Thanks ik911.
I was just in the process of doing the emergency recovery myself.
Bloomin annoying that even doing a restore from CWM didn't work
Ok. may have more problems here.... how long should it sit on "Updating Firmware"?
I'm so happy, just updated to 10d and its fixed the terrible picture quality I was having when using the camera. I had literally felt like I was using a camera phone from many years ago until this update, it was that bad on 10b.
NOTE: Video quality VASTLY improved, Photo quality still complete garbage. Its weird now as video quality is superior to photo, quite clearly a bug IMO.
Thanks ik911.

I'm getting a "connection failed due to authentication error" when I try to check for OTA updates.
And the PC utility is still showing v10b as the latest for unbranded Optimus 3D's in the UK. Any ideas about how I might be able to get v10d?
I have unbranded and can't get automaticaly update via phone also when I try to update via PC, PC having communication problems between PC & Phone :/ any1 know how to fix it? I have latest drivers and I also can't see microsd card when I turn that USB on when I plug in phone via usb.
turn mass storage off

If someone can make a backup for us that can't update so we can do a restore using clockwork that would be very appreciated.

Your version shouldn't matter... Refurb, or not. The LG Updater should work now.
I ask because when using the updater you have to install lg driver and it ask which device and there are 3 or 4 different ones. Not sure if its the same driver or what?
The drivers for LGP999DW, LGP999DWDU and LGP999DWP are the same. They are the same phone. Two are must designations for LG refurb units. It should not matter which one you use. Also, the updater will tell you which one you have when you connect the phone and the udpater is running. You can then select the exact match to your device if you so desire.

[Q] Can't upgrade Firmware.

I am trying to update my LGP-920 to the latest software that apparently came out for the P920 this week (30A).
The update tool first tells me there is an update available, but when I press ‘update software’, it analyses the phone and then it says ‘software update not supported for this model’ or 'You are already up to date' or 'some error with 'msxml.msi' or some toher of the plethora of the responses it comes up with!
It is on 20G at the moment. I also tried the KDZ file update for Euro-Open (I am in the UK, but the phone was not bought through a service provider). I have updated a number of times in the past, all in the same environment (Win7 64bit) – Am I missing something?
Instead of updating the phone use the "recover phone" option. it is in one of the menu headings in the softwareupdate tool. Open the LG softwareupdate tool, remove sd card and sim card, connect usb with phone switched off. and then select the recover phone option in the menu.
Hope this is helpful!

Try to delete all LG related drivers, restart computer and reinstall them.
If that doesn't work, try in a different computer.
Thanks for your input guys, i will give an update later on as i see there are a couple of other threads where folk are having trouble upgrading. Suprise, suprise, LG support were absolutely no use! (either that or it was the night time cleaner that replied!)

I can advise you that deatiled information on the ICS update for the P920 will be released in due course, beyond this we at technical support have no further information.

/edit - After searching around, it looks like allthough I am in Europe (UK), there will possibly be a specific GBR version coming out, hopefully soon.

Note P905 cant update

Hello!
I just bought my new tablet and I wanted to make sure I have latest version for my device, but I got a message saying that my device has been modified, ok so then I installed kies and it told me I had the latest version avaliable, then I went into download mode and I saw system status:Custom, I tried to wipe both partitions but still the same problem.... I bought this tablet today feels very strange that my system is custom. On my note 3 it is says official
Are you using a MicroSD? If yes, take it out, then reboot and check again. It's a known bug.
Same on mine. No micro sd rebooted many times

If you rooted you've tripped the knox security sistem and samsung won't update a rooted device. At least that's what Ithink happened on my device...

Hello
I have the same problem. Is custom but Knox is 0x0. I try everything, including Odin, but NO result. In Odin don't start the process, in Kies it shows that is the last firmware, and OTA "the device is modified".
This is a common issue with the SM P905 variant, I had the same problem myself. The only way to sort it out is to send it to Samsung for repairs or take it in to a service centre. I'm pretty sure all they'll be doing is reflashing the firmware but you might not want to void the warranty by doing it yourself.

Hello
I solve the problem by using another laptop with WinXP. But please make an IMEI backup. I don't make it, and now my IMEI is /01 and I don't have Phone acces. ..
Now is possible to use my computer (Odin). I make update at last BIOS for my laptop. But still I can not find my IMEI, and in this way can't use the phone...

Wait simply for the update via KIES or OTA. It will be available soon or is still available for a lot of countries.
Status will pass from modified to Official.
check this thread : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2710004
Hi,
You first have to check if this particular update (not the stability update BUT this "modified status bug" update is available for your country.

download the above kdz.. download & install "LG UP"..connect your phone thru USB (im assuming u have LG usb drivers installed & ur pc detects it perfectly)
open LG UP.. select the kdz file
Select "UPGRADE" & execute... 10-15 min for installation & another 15-20 for booting up.

Guys, I purchased an unlocked AT&T LG V10. It's currently running h90020j. I haven't received any ota updates yet.
My concern is that if I flash the new software version, will my phone get locked again? I use Etisalat SIM card in it.
i want to update my Unlocked AT&T LG V10 to the latest update H90021W. i tried using lg bridge but it prompts me to update from the update center from the phone itself. when i try to update from the phone, it shows "Device is up to date".
my question is that if i update via flashing the firmware file, will my device be relocked by AT&T? i live outside USA and Etisalat as my carrier. i have already downloaded the .kdz file for v21w software. i worried whether the device will get relocked by AT&T. help me out guys.
also i am getting a pretty poor battery out of my V10. wondering whether the new update would give me a better battery life.

I have updated to H90021W months ago it went smooth and error free. all my data was kept in tact and I have face 0 issues since then. I hope they find a way to get the kdz file for the future updates. Also no it shouldn't relock the device mine was unlocked when it updated and stayed unlocked.
