Am I able to update my Rogers Optimus 3D to another firmware update other than V10c? It's been at V10c since I bought my phone, and the LG Updater still only shows V10c for Rogers... Is there a way I can update it to another version, that isn't from my carrier?

Has anybody from Rogers been able to upgrade their firmware through the LG Mobile support tool. I am still on v10c and when i try updating it is giving a message that i cannot update my model
I have a stock O2 UK O3D. LG website says update available, phone says I have the latest version (v10k) which is 2.2 so I run LG updater on the laptop and click its update history tool which says "s/w v21a" as if it thinks I have gb.
I cannot find who provides my updates, it's definitely not O2, maybe if I rooted it I could find who supplies them via a config file or else I will be stuck with Froyo forever

If you are operator locked and in the UK you will get the update december 5th.
It is due 5th of December in UK. However, you can flash the official ROM, see development forum.
According to the operator (O2) my phone is not supported by them for updates, and the phone seller has no idea who sends them. Will wait for december and see.
Thanks

I am with O2 but didn't get my O3D from them. Up until I flashed it last night it was still on 10D!
So nobody from O2 updated my handset.
I have to wait as if flash phone and mess it up cant replace it
Dave
You can try removing your sim card and selecting another country in the LG updater if your phone is not simlocked by O2.
Flashing the official rom isn't that hard either. I can't get the update either so I just followed the tutorial for kdz flashing and had GB on the phone in about 15 minutes without losing apps and messages/contacts etc.
If you're not sure about flashing then it's probably best to just wait. The update will be provided by LG themselves eventually through the update utility.
Think I will wait, have flashed phones before (put gb on my gt540) but knowing what cwn go wrong I daren't risk a contract phone as got two years til can replace it.

Same problem
I have an open phone in sweden. When uptating my phone i got v10k and i cant get v21a. Every check i updater and outside shows no possible update, but v10k. If i check update history in the updater it says v21a.
It is now a matter for the support and in the hands of the mobile phone expert. They have to solve the problem under the sales contract.
I got mine from a company that sells lots of different phones with various providers contracts so although my sim contract is with O2 in the UK the updates are not and the seller doesn't push ota updates so I have no idea how to find out where they come from.
Although I have rooted the phone now so if anyone knows a system file that stores details of where the update check connects to and replies with it I can check that

Hey everyone, I have my Rogers LGP925 v10c with Android 2.2, and there hasn't been any updates at all... Is there any way to update it to 2.3 GB?
Thanks.
Yes, you can update to gingerbread by flashing the European v21a kdz file using this method http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1287236
However, as it is the European version, you may have some issues with data. I have the same p925g from Rogers, and I had the v21a and it worked fine, but there were times when my data would just randomly shut off for a moment, but others don't seem to have this problem.
There is a brazil v20a that will work but you cannot root it.
Hi
I bought a used T-Mobile P999 phone for my wife. After installing the LG Update tool on my laptop, it now has the latest baseband( March 2012) running the v21y version.
I then bought the P999 from Wind Mobile. I now know that the LG Updater Tool will not let me go about v11h.
I got a Stock Rom from the web for T Mobile P999 and flashed the Wind Phone. Everything was updated except the baseband which is still June 2011. Is there a way to basically clone my wife's T-mobile phone into my Wind Mobile phone? I tried updating only the Kdz file LG_KDZ_FW-Update_OfflineFix but I ran into some issues; not sure what I am not doing right but the update would not complete as described in the documentation.
I was running EaglesBlood 2.3.7 Rom until recently; however I was having frequent shutdowns lately, freezing when the alarm is snoozed, bluetooth freezing the phone ... I initially thought it was the ROM but now I realise that it is the baseband that needs to be addressed
Thanks in advance
Hi there,
I just bough an LG Flex 2 (H955), but the phone is Vodafone branded, thus the firmware is a little behind (still has V10c).
I tried to flash a North European version 10e, but the firmware did not change, although no errors showed up during the process (except a server error but the process continued). I tried to flash using LG FlashTool 2014.
What am I doing wrong?
The phone is running on Polish Orange network, on the box I found that is is a H955 VFD2 variant (whatever that means?).
New firmware wont help. Its piece of **** and nothing will fix it. I wish I never bought it.

It is normal.
The branded phones always indicate a less version, but this is the same version of software.
normal --- branded
V10c --- V10b
V10d --- V10c

Ok, but can I actually debrand the phone in any way?
Is there actually a point to do this? Will I get the software updates faster?

You can delete programs/start screen of Vodafone, but no the version. (system/op directory? I not sure. backup!!!)
When LG launched an upgrade, you upgrade with LG FlashTool 2014 and you do not have any problems with OTA
I assume I have to wait for a Vodafone firmware to be released?
I tried to flash one of the firmwares from the first post here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/g-flex2/general/official-lg-h955-phone-firmware-t3090920
The process went fine, but the firmware did not change. Can there be a lock of sorts in place?

Sorry, I did not read well the versions.
I followed these instructions with the version V10E (NORTHERN EUROPE Edition) as shown in the phone as V10D. My phone is Orange Spain. You don´t need wait to Vodafone version.
