Is it possible to get OTA update to 2.3.3 on an unlocked G2x that isn't on Tmobile network?

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

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.

maybe because people got it off the official LG updater?

Yeah, either do I. Someone said it could be a bad sim card. I am going to go to the T-Mobile store my me on monday to get my plan adjusted to the lower price and I will ask them about it then.

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?

Hi,
I have the Rogers version of the i727 and it has no option, in any menus, to check if ota update are available.
But
I found this trick on another website.
Dial *#*#checkin#*#* (checkin=2432546)
You will receive a notification telling you that the checkin succeeded.
Currently there is no update for i727r (rogers version)

That's probably not gonna work because running the CHECKIN will connect you to the Google Servers. Our updates will need to go through Rogers so they can add their bloatware and crap and sent out by Rogers to our IMEIs.
As the SkyRocket update has been sent out (and since they're exactly the same model minus the R), that means its ready but hasn't yet been blasphemized by Rogers yet.
That command used to work wonders with my good ol' Nexus One.
But..
Then again... I could be wrong.
I have the same problem, no update menu no where...i also dont want to root my phone before ICS
I would assume that the update would be done through kies. Kind of annoying I know.

Thats what i though too, until i saw kies only updates the kernel and has no way of updating and/or formating the OS

i have the same phone with the same problem.....any updates?
Rogers has never been very keen with updates. As far as Rogers is concerned updating the software on a phone causes too many problems.
I used to have a Nokia E71 for 3 years and Rogers never made a single update available even though dozens had been published by Nokia.
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...

You need a stock ROM and recovery to receive OTA updates.

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

Being stated on website doesn't mean it's official. T-mobile pulled it down and has been working on random freezing and signal drop since then

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.

It's official when it's ready and available for users to download. Check your phone if it can actually download it OTA

Hello All,
I have an unlocked AT&T LG G3 phone which I used with AT&T number till April 2015. Later, I left the country and now using it with Airtel.
After I left AT&T, there were 2 software upgrades for the phone, I received none.
I checked with AT&T, they said they will not support now, contact LG.
LG said, I will get updates when it is available, but no luck.
Can someone help ?? Thanks.
