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 ..

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...

you can get the drivers over at cdma gurus but i still have the same problem it connects but when i try to read its a no go bro just says PHONE DOES NOT ANSWER ??? PLEASE ADVISE
The only driver links at CDMA Gurus are MegaUpload, and we all know what happened there.
nope i gess it has to be a menu where to put the phone on diag or something i have the same problem
Driver
I installed this driver from the kyocera website. Unlike the susteen driver, this one will respond in the windows control panel properties window as a modem (not sure if that makes a difference, but at least it shows that the OS can talk to it). So maybe if someone can figure out how to get it to talk to CDMAWS and other software?
It's so weird, it's not even listed as the correct driver, but the documentation here shows it is the one...
http://www.kyocera-wireless.com/support/drivers/USB_Driver_Installation_Procedure.pdf
Driver is here:
http://www.kyocera-wireless.com/support/drivers/sy21_setup.msi
Dialing ##7678# brings up the DM mode menu; however changing it from UMS to DM doesn't seem to enable t to talk with CDMAWS
oh well i guess we keep trying

Okay I have searched and searched through these forums through and through and there is no possible way the root a Droid 2 Global. I have tried all the ways listed here Pete's way the One Click and the Superone Click and I tried Z4root and that didn't work either! Is there a new way to do this???(When I had my HTC Eris that was unrootable too.) I think Im gonna give up and on my next upgrade I'll probably just get an iPhone 4s or something, because any phone I touch will before outdated and unrootable and unable to flash any of the cool custom roms and play emulators and crap. I'll just an iPhone 4s and talk to siri.
Thanks anyway for all the help guys and thanks developer for all your hard work!!!

you're doing something wrong

Z4root will NOT work on stock 2.3.3. I've been using a Droid 3 one click root tool for linux and it's been working without fail. I've noticed this tool also works on the regular D2. Z4root will only work with the original stock.
EDIT: As far as cool roms, I'm using MIUI ICS. You like ICS but don't want to spend 700 bucks for an off contract phone? That's right. Your D2G runs it just fine lol.
MIUI isn't really ICS. It's just bits and pieces of the framework.

Nothing. Once it finds the phone and the rooting process begins it will say running expoit 1 of 3 (setting up symlink) and it will remain at the reboot screen forever!
my phone says:
Bootloader DO.11
Battery OK
OK to program
Transfer Mode:
USB
then nothing happens!
This time I got the "server not running" error!
Make sure your phone is set to PC mode with USB debugging on. I usually have to run the script twice. The first time it doesn't do anything. End it and start it again and it works for me every time.
Also, as far as MIUI ICS, it's technically android 2.3.7 but it's still ICS to me lol. It's enough like it to make me happy.

Have you tried pulling the battery without unplugging the phone from the PC and closing the script's window?
So that it boots normally and continues.

I just tried the latest version of SuperOneClick and again with this screen on my phone:

I'm starting to think somehow that this screen somehow not allowing me the further root my phone! With the SuperOneClick the program running and then immediately stopped responding!
Any ideas?
what is the latest version?
I thought you just need it in usb charge mode and have usb debugging on

try petes with a different computer
HTML:
http://www.psouza4.com/Droid3/
1. Make sure you have Motorola drivers installed.
2. Download and unzip 'MotorolaOneClickRoot_psouza4'
3. On your phone: Settings > Applications > Development > USB debugging(check box)
4. Plug phone into computer and select "Charge Only" mode
5. Navigate to 'MotorolaOneClickRoot_psouza4' folder and run 'MotorolaOneClickRoot.exe'
6. Now just follow the instructions in the command window and unlock the phone after each reboot.
For Windows XP users having trouble try this -> v7 .bat One Click
edit: are you trying to using a computer with usb 1.0?
if that doesn't work, maybe sbf
Hi,
i am definitely not an expert, in fact everything i know about android i learned from reading other people's threads but i managed to root my droid 2 global yesterday using superoneclick.
the first time i tried to run it the program froze up in the middle of the process and wouldn't do anything, including close. while i was trying to figure out how to fix i came across a post that said to start the program while usb debugging is off and then turn it on when it says waiting for device so i tried that and it actually worked. go figure.
i have no idea if it will work for you or not but i thought i would share in case you wanted to give it a try.

Hi,
Since ICS update I have been going insane with the speed of my phone, and today I saw my friends Desire HD running Jelly Bean and it was flying. So naturally I have spent the last 5 hours reading up on how to get it!
I'm an absolute noob with Android, this is my first android and I my other smart phones ran windows 5.5 and 6.5 so however buggy the new OS it can not beat them.
I am confused about a couple of things and I have found many many guides that go in circles. my HBOOTS 1.29
1. Do I need S-off or do I just need my device rooted?
I have found the following guides that seem the most effective:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1661631
2. What is Flashing Firmware and why do I need to do it?
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1472298
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1377759
3. It seems the best ROM is this:

Are there anything better?
I don't care about looks, I want the usual phone features, speed, GPS, better battery life and bluetooth connectivity to my external Pressure Variometer (I use it for Paragliding). I don't care about issues with Wifi!
Many Thanks and sorry for repeating previous posts at times
You have 2 options. 1.) S-OFF your device, following the guide you linked. It opens up the whole phone, so after that you can do whatever you would like to. (Recommended)
2.) Unlock your bootloader through HTCDEV.COM website. (If you choose this, you can still install custom roms, but are unable to flash firmware/radio. For more info how to install custom roms with s-on see HERE)
Flashing the newest firmware is "always" an extra. They all come with stability/performance/radio... enhancement. ICS firmwares are 3.32 or 3.33. Whichever you have installed on your device, you are good to go as all recent ICS and Jelly Bean roms are working under both firmware. Some of them recommend 3.33 but are still working on 3.32. As far as I know 3.33 comes with newer radio...?
Rom-wise... It is really up to you what you are looking for and what you expect from your phone. Have a look around in the development section, there are plenty of custom roms/kernel about, either it is aosp/cm or sense based roms. They are all excellent and come with amazing support.
Have fun and good luck! :good:
edit: Have a look HERE too for some more info!
S-on/off
Is it possible to install a ROM on the phone with S-on and on the new rom later turn S-off if required. As I mentioned I'm new so I want to do one step at a time.

in order to S-OFF you must have rooted stock rom

HTC Sync issue
Hi,
I have just tried to get started on the process of rooting from HTCDev however my phone is unable to connect to my PC. (not a great start I know )
I have installed HTC sync however it can not connect to my PC either. Would resetting my phone to factory settings sort the issue?

You do not need to do anything to your phone.
You need to have the correct drivers on your PC.
If you are on a windows 7 or 8 then use THESE DRIVERS

Problem is not about htc sync or other software...Follow the steps...fastboot works even without adb or others..personally tried on senation and atrix..
1)Install drivers (naked)..check in device manager..it ll show htc device...
2)Download fastboot..and place it on any drive where u can access easily...file attached..
3)Set Path if already not...snap attached..
4)Trun off ur device and boot into hboot...select fastboot and it 'll show bootloader and other options...
5)attach ur device now...and start with start here.bat file..
6)if not worked..then run above file as admin or try to restart ur pc..

Great, thank you that seemed to have worked I'm going to now proceed with S-off and ROM installation. Will undoubtedly re-post again.
Just one more question, Do I need to delete/format the files off my SD card or not, I have backed up anything of value.
Also the network is not unlocked, would the network be unlocked with a new ROM?

I cant root my device because I found some methods that need to install hc drivers on my pc, and that is a problem because it sad htc drivers could not be installed on your system or something like unsuported system. Anyway, can anyone tell me can I root my device on some different way, or should i change computer. I need to flash some custom rom, because after I updated my phone (latest official android update) I cant call anyone from my sim card. But when I inserted some other sim i can call.

For any root method requires pc
But you have to know that with w8 you will face connectivity issues
I suggest to use a pc with w7
