Ok I have the LG-P999dwp version, and was in unable to do the update through the lg updater. Was told that i have latest version. I am also running win7 ultimate and the KDZ program would always crash, so i found a work around.
I downloaded the LG kdz program and the V21_00.Kdz file You can get them from here, http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1179750 here are pics to help you do this on a windows 7 ultimate and should work for any version of win 7.
The pictures show you what to do.
1: open the KDZ program ( follow the instructions in the read me )
then keep the cdma and DIAG alone and choose the browse and click on the V21E_00.KDZ file.
Sorry if this has been posted but i searched and could not find anything on how to do this. I was working out a few ways to do this on win 7 without installing win xp
2:Click on read phone information at the bottom of the program.
3:Click on Upgrade Start
4:Change country to different country and change Language to english
5:click ok and this opens up the LG updater and will push the update of GB to your phone on windows 7 machine and for phone with LG-P999dwp model # (aka refurb)
thank you soo much!
Works!!! Just follow the steps exactly. My wife has a p999dwp and I have a p999dw. Ive been trying to get Gingerbread on hers for two days now (the official way). I can now find one complaint about the update, I love it. I haven't used Bluetooth yet though. Thanks so much.
Thanks... Worked perfectly....
Just in case anyone wants to know .... I put my phone back to stock and unrooted before I did the update process.... Everything went smooth, update process took about 10 minutes.. Thanks again Bullseye....
I can't get into S/W Update mode now to flash ClockworkMod ???
EDIT: Never mind...had to try it a bunch of times (volume down and plugging in) before it worked
see my only problem is everytime i try to install the lg updater tool it stops quarter of the way and doesnt move, i have a windows 7
how did u guys get the update tool to install, i run it as administrator and it starts but then stalls quarter of the way? and it told me i had to install the tool , but then i just tryed launching the update and it started the process, of course i didnt try with the phone plugged in, what do u guys think
It doesn't even want to read my phone info....it gives me Get Chiptype Error. Tried with Debug mode too-still nothing. It keeps freezing on me....I am running Win7 Ultimate 64bit.
Anyone else having the same issues. I have all the drivers installed.
you have to be in stock 2.2 froyo doesnt matter if youre rooted or not, and stock recovery, and run the tool while booted into froyo with usb debugging on .. and i dont know but i had my sd card mounted
and by the way if this worked for you THANK the freaking OP because he figured it out and you couldnt he's awesome, love you man xD

I am running stock Froyo and I am not rooted. I have stock recovery as well. I keep getting the same error...it starts reading my phone info and then Bam! Get Chiptype Error!
yes sir , for sure so sincest your talking about the lg update tool ur telling me i have to install it with the phone actually plugged in?
doesnt really matter, i had it unplugged till the window like the screenshot came up, try reinstalling the 3.x.x drivers from LG theres a thread somewhere and then plug your device in a different usb porn and wait for it all to install
It doesn't work for me guys. Tried reading the phone info as advised-it can't complete the operation. I get the stupid error and nothing happens. Don't know how to go around that error. Tried running the R&D tool in compatabilty mode and still got the same error.
Anyone else having the same issue?

Do you guys click on read phone info button on the second screen as well? That's where I am getting the Chiptype Error. Have you guys tried that? I am afraid if the tool doesn't read the phone info it won't be able to update it properly and I may brick my device. Any advises?
dude i cannot get B2Cappsetup to run! sucks it just stops quarter of the way
Did you install the msi file in the kdz folder... And I only clicked read phone info at the beginning ..

Does it give some kind of an error? What kind of windows are you running?
Try rebooting your PC and reinstalling it... Only thing I did was downloaded the LG updater the other day and reinstalled it ... after it installed I connected my phone and it installed some drivers...

Dear Gents,
I've installed the USB driver from the Motorola's official site, the newest ver.is 2.2.28. But after installed it, my laptop (windows 7 Prof. SP1) still not recognized the photon q.
anyone experienced this? fyi, I also use the original USB cable that came with the Q.
any help appreciate it, thanks before..
You're trying to get adb or...?
I'm on Win7 64-bit, but Home Premium instead of Professional.... Shouldn't matter tho.
Let us know what you're trying to achieve .

OK, you're using this guide?
You're then trying to install the drivers from step #3? Where does it fail? What happens?
Please be as descriptive as possible. We're not mind readers, so the more information the better. Thanks.

Affirmative bro..i am using this "manual", after step 3, proceed to step 4. when I plug the photon q with usb cable, the warning sign pop up on above the tray right below, it said, "the driver doesn't install"
already tried by restart the laptop than re-install the driver again, but still showed the same thing. on window explorer, there is no USB mount also.
by looking via device manager, no adb driver installed also..
Just in case you hadn't thought of it (though I'd assume you have), have you tried changing which usb port you're using on your laptop? I just ask because there's 1-2 I never have as much luck with on my PC for whatever reason.
I've tried that also.. no luck, also use my incre2 cable data also no luck.. any advise, friends?

Well don't root it because it'll never update then. Have you wiped data? If that won't work go to How to fix your phone get the download package for EP4 and follow the instructions exactly. Then take the 2 updates.

A pop-up came up asking if I wanna update to ICS, but it always fails. I called Verizon and they said to do a master reset, but I really rather not do that unless I have to.
Any suggestions?
try and re-boot your tab... power off and then back on.. See if that Helps...
If not.... then you might have to just do a master reset like the guy says...
Good Luck
Those are my usual basic troubleshoot techniques.
Most likely I'm going to wait for a better update worth wiping out the device.
Thanks :L
this is probably your only hope, and I'm not joking:

I have never heard of Kies until I just looked it up. I'll try in the morning. Thanks!
yeah... download and install Samsung kies.... then run it.... after it's up and on screen... then plug in your Samsung device.. it may take a few minutes to install drivers for your device and recognize it.... wait it out.... then it should tell you if your are current with firmware and if not, ask you if you want to up-grade it..
good luck...

Sorry about the long wait. It's my moms work tablet (hence why I don't want to wipe it out.) and I've been waiting for her to bring it home. I'll post as soon as I get it and test it!

Well, I'm having trouble connecting to the program using 2 different computer.
So here's the thing, I'll try to be as short as possible. I was watching this video of this guy (how to root the nexus 5 (safest method)) showing how to root the nexus 5. But everything went wrong and I accidentally wiped the entire phone, now I have no OS.
I have installed a bunch of drivers and stuff here, but don't know how to use them. Please, if someone can give me a stupid proof solution to this, I would be very thankful.
tl;dr: I have no OS and would like to restore my Nexus 5.
Please, guys, I'm desperate. I have a test in 5 hours and already should be sleeping, but I simply can't. I've screwed everything up. Please, help.

First you need to setup adb/fastboot. Follow this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2588979
After it's setup properly, follow this thread : http://forum.xda-developers.com/google-nexus-5/general/tutorial-how-to-flash-factory-image-t2513701
This should be enough fix your device.
Since I've helped you, would you do me a favor by READING THIS THREAD BEFORE YOU START MESSING WITH YOUR EXPENSIVE DEVICE IN THE FUTURE!!!

Both links in my signature and the post above this one.
This is hardly an issue, solved in a couple minutes. Next time do some research before doing anything to a device that you paid for.
Don't want to do your research? Then sell the Nexus 5, get a locked down Samsung device/iPhone and don't mess with it.
If that is true and you dont have a clue what ever gave you the idea to try and root your phone jesus if you aint got a clue do some homework and learn, there are walkthroughs on this site or just google it........

1. Relax. Its a nexus. This can easily be fixed.
2. We all start somewhere. When we all were noobs to this we all wiped our devices and freaked. Again don't panic. And ignore the guys cursing your noobness. But one thing is for sure - after you fix this, read before you leap.
3. As someone else recommended - there is a tool called wugfresh nexus root all in one...or something like that. Just follow the link in his post. This us a great tool and will save you some pain. Its well laid out and will fix your issues. Just follow the steps. Keep this program handy and on your computer. If you intend on flashing Roms eventually you will make a mistake and wipe your phone again and this will save your bacon.

The answer has already been given.
Choices are:
1) Learn to use fastboot. Return your device to stock.
2) Lear to use adb. push a rom.zip to your sdcard to flash via recovery
Click the link in my signature. ALL important guides are there.
Read the following:
"adb and fastboot. What is it?"
This will help you to do 1 and 2, whichever you decide.
Oh my god thank you so much
Thank you so much!! I was able to restore it!!! What a relief.
Now I'm really afraid to try and root it again. I think I'm gonna read a lot more about it, then, when I feel safe enough, I'll do it.
Again, I cannot express how grateful I am to all of you.

Just basically go through all the threads linked in my signature. Theres lots of info there. What you did is very common amongst TWRP users. Its an easy fix so nothing to be concerned about, but do try to learn adb and fastboot

-2 for the guy saying "read before you leap" then suggesting a toolkit..
I'll just add, with TWRP if you have an OTG adapter you can plug a thumb drive into the phone and flash a ROM that way. Every now and again I like to start fresh and will copy a ROM onto a thumb drive, I'll wipe the entire phone then re-flash. You'll just have to Mount USB-OTG from the menu.
tbh I dont even know why people use toolkits.
'fastboot oem unlock'
'fastboot flash recovery recovery.img'
Device rooted.
Why do you need a toolkit for that?

Not everyone is comfortable using command prompt to fire lines as they think they will mess up (especially people who are new). The toolkits do these things in the background when the user clicks on a button and hence he/she thinks it's the easy/safe way around it without knowing the consequences of it.
