[SOLVED] LG Optimus 7 ICS - Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

So I read that the update enabling ICS on the Optimus 7 is out in europe - but so far I'm not receiving any updates.
I have an open market phone, shouldn't I have gotten this update as soon as LG put it out there? :/
Sorry if this has been asked before, search didn't turn up anything
Edit: After flashing to NL OPN FW, Internet Connection Sharing works nicely

You can't get ICS on your Optimus 7, because your phone runs Windows Phone, not Android.

I'm not sure what you are thinking, there is no Optimus 7 that runs android...
Quite a few carriers have deployed ICS for the Optimus 7 (E900) and other devices already. Vodafone E900s for example.
My question is, why aren't open market E900s receiving this update?

He is asking for Internet Connection Sharing. There is a XAP for Samsung though but not LG

Ooops my bad.. I thought he meant ICS like in Ice Cream Sandwich

Found this tool but have no idea if it will work or not. Check it out

I tried that app, it didn't work.
At most I would have expected it to enable the ICS settings menu, but it did not even do that.
AFAIK the LG devices are still lacking the wifi drivers that allow ICS, which are supposed to be deliverd by this official update. So I'm just a little confused that Vodafone customers already got the update, but the open market phones didn't...

Well, I just got a random MS update, I'm now on FW/Radio version 1.1.2.10, OS 7.10.7740.16...but still no update from LG for the open market phones it appears. Why

For some reason I am still on 1.0.4.10. OPEN from Germany, Registry says "ATLANTIC_OPN_PT"
melak47 said:
Edit: Does anyone suppose changing my carrier in the registry to say, Vodafone, could allow me to grab the update?
Could anyone tell me what the carrier code for Vodafone (germany, preferrably) is?

I tried setting it to OPEN from the Netherlands. Does not work. Zune creates a backup and fails in the last step.

Use the NL OPEN one. No branding and the firmware update for tethering and hidden wifi is available.

You mean Ice Cream Sandwich (ICS) or Android v4.0
Update... sorry didn't see the confusion was already noted

Official Mango update 7.10.7720.68 for Trophy

Hi guys,
http://www.filefactory.com/file/cd831bc/n/RUU_Spark_S_HTC_Europe_4.06.401.00_5.69.09_RELEASE.exe
Back up your data before, you will loose all.
If your Trophy is branded, use the gold card method:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=10176994#post10176994
It worked well for me!
I wish you all a nice weekend!
Thank you. This works fine for me as well.
Would this work for the Verizon Trophy? I'm a bit confused at the difference between the Verizon Trophy (SparkW, I believe?) and the other models, but there seems to be a difference. At least there is in trying to install the DFT ROMs.
Thanks!

If you have the Verizon Version, AKA the Spark_W. DO NOT ATTEMPT the GSM roms.
They will Brick your device. There is no current NoDO (AKA factory rom) available for the Verizon HTC Trophy, so if you got there, there is no way possable to attempt to get your phone up and running again.
I wish someone would release a Verizon NoDO rom that works, so we can play with out as much worry.

Anyway in 1-2 weeks, mango is comming, confirmed with M$
I'm on the Mango RTM now & had no success using the timing hack. Anyone has any idea if there even is a "HTC Update for Windows Phone" for the Trophy? On a GSM Trophy in Singapore.
Thx!
What system languages are available in this ROM? I got the official Mango update yesterday, but Swedish is not available as a system language there (only same as before: English, German, Spanish,..)

Yes, I got a "HTC update for Windows Phone". I was on Mango RTM before and successfully updated just now. Not sure if this is the official Mango but I do see the firmware is updated. No more "not for sale" during boot up.
Is this the only update required for official Mango?
No bro GoingInside, that probably means you were on Build 7714. So you probably got 2 updates from 7720 -> HTC update, yes?

Bro e_t,
Mine should be mango, just not 100%sure if it's RTM or official Mango. I was on RTM Mango all the while. Recieved a msg from M1 (yes, I'm from Singapore) on Wednesday afternoon regarding a new update.
I did not roll back to noDo and just connect my phone to Zune while still on RTM mango. Immediately got a "HTC update for Windows Phone" and proceed to update. Once update is completed, I applied the CustClear.provxml trick and now my Phone is still chevon unlocked. All previously side loaded apps are working, including the Mango apps such as Whatsapp. Followings are observed after update:
1. Connected Media works (was not working in RTM mango)
2. During boot up, no "Not For Sale" logo
3. OS Version is still 7.10.7720.68
4. Firmware is updated: 2250.21.40601.707 (was 2250.21.12200.707)
5. Radio software and Bootloader version are also updated
This is the only update I received. So mine is 100% official mango?
Yes, but looks like your upgrade path to RTM is different from mine, coz I dun have the Not for Sales splash screen.
Yes, you're now officially Mango. I wonder if my upgrade last time affected anything coz I did not flash all the cabs when I move from RC to RTM.
Bro GoingInside, you said u got a msg from M1 as in SMS?
i downloaded and installed DFT 7720 rom
Compare with the Official 7720 is same, so i wont go to official mango
Bro stussy, I don't wanna lose any data & I'm don't side-load apps so I prefer to go with the official ROM. Now all I need is the HTC firmware upgrade for Asia WWE. Either that or the cab file so I can use UpdateWP.exe to manual update...

Got a message from 'someone' but don't think it's an SMS cos I cannot find it in my MESSAGING. Can't remember exactly what's inside the msg cos I was having lunch and just brushed it off.
But confirm I got an SMS from M1 (20000) later: "please rate the service you just received from M1 Officer: 1-very good, 2-Good, 3-Average, 4-below average, 5-Poor. Thank you."
After that got another SMS from 53011 (M1?): "A new service/update has been added to your M1 Xplorer Menu. Pls restart phone to refresh the menu. This msg & update svc is free." I did a restart but didn't observe any difference.
Maybe you would like to give M1 a call to check with them.

Can you confirm if connected media is working? This only works after I did the HTC drive update.
The M1 Xplorer thingy is for Feature (dumb) Phones using Java Midlet &/or SIM card based application. They used to have a Xplorer software for Windows Mobile but it is not applicable for Windows Phone 7. I also have this message but it's not for Mango rollout. Sigh...
Microsoft has expanded Mango rollout to 50%. Looks like I'm not there too.

Optimus 3D Will Not Update

Hi,
I recently purchased a new LG Optimus 3D which has no network branding or boot logos. It is running Android 2.2.2 with V10k firmware which I believe is "Europe Open". However, when I connect my phone to the computer to update I am told there is no updates available?
I feel a little bit upset as I thought this was a good phone with the opportunity to upgrade to a newer version of Android but it seems that the phone can't.
Am I doing something wrong?
Thank you.

I just checked the website and translated it and I have found out that my phone isn't actually Europe Open but is from Meteor Ireland.
I wonder why they haven't released the update!

You can download firmware from here:
http://lg-phone-firmware.com/index.php?id_mod=2
then flash it using kdz tool in development section.
Thanks for your reply!
I did read a guide and I followed it the best I could but the software just crashed when I tried. Then I found another LG tool which looked easier and this said the KDZ file was incorrect. Please could you help me to flash the device to Android 2.3.5? I'd really appreciate that!

Guess you probably managed to upgrade it but here it is step by step..
Before we start i suppose you know about the ghost calls issue that OPTIMUS 3D gingerbread based roms have and you are sure you want to upgrade iy..
Step 1
download
V21a from here:
http://csmg.lgmobile.com:9002/swdata/WEBSW/LGP920/AESOML/v21d_00/V21D_00.kdz
or
V21d from here:
http://csmg.lgmobile.com:9002/swdata/WEBSW/LGP920/AESOML/v21d_00/V21D_00.kdz
Step 2
download this
http://forum.xda-developers.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=887870&d=1328537753
Step 3
make sure you have installed your lg phone drivers before continuing to the next step
Step 4
unzip LG_KDZ_FW-Update_OfflineFix.zip
you will find a filename Automatic Offline Procedure.vbs
run it
if everything runs ok it will take you to the upgrade tool if not it will probably show you a windows script host error
if that happens try running it manualy from folder
LG_KDZ_FW-Update_OfflineFix
KDZ_FW_UPD_EN
KDZ_FW_UPD.exe
as soon as KDZ_FW_UPD.exe select Type: 3qct and PhoneMode: Emergency
select your downloaded kdz file connect your phone and press
Launch software update
It will take some time to decompress the files but if everything is ok it will start.
You will see the progress with various messages the last message ends with 0
That should do the job..
2 b honest, i think u should keep staying in froyo, until lg solved the ghostcall issue. i updated to gingerbread weeks ago, and messed up by the ghost calls.

Thank you for your replies!
I am starting to consider staying with Froyo as I do not want to miss calls or SMS. Particularly the SMS. That would be a very big problem for me to miss a SMS!
I am wondering as this is a Meteor handset and they haven't even released Android 2.3. If LG releases Android 4 for this phone, would I be able to flash it with a Europe Open KDZ just like I would for Android 2.3? Unless of course they officially release the update but I think that is unlikely considering they haven't released 2.3!
Is the ghost calls and sms a big problem with this phone and the Android 2.3 update?!
Cheers!
2.3 gingerbread is really a nice firmware, u can use the 3d button as the camera shutter button during the camera mod.
there is some new playlist in the music player for you to sort all the songs.
theres a 2d to 3d tool,u can use it to turn the softwares or games into 3d, but not every app works.(froyo can install this tool too, but i havent try it yet)
also 2.3.5 with a longer battery life.
not everything become better, u will get some laggs everyday, which wont happen in froyo for weeks without reboot.
then the ghost calls issue! this issue just can not acceptable! u dont know when or where it will happen. and while it happen, it ruin ur reputation. your boss, your friends and family ,they all considered u ignored their calls on purpose. ≥﹏≤
and the credit card company can not notify u every debit event via the message. it might cost u if someone created ur copy card ,or picked it.
Sent from my LG-P920 using xda premium
I really want to go for the Android 2.3 update for this phone by flashing the rom but I am nervous about the ghost call issue.
Is there anything I can do to see if I would be affected? Anything to do with the network or something? Sorry for my misunderstanding, I just am curious if theres a way around the matter.
Chances are you will be affected.. maybe you will not notice it but it will happen.
Reagarding ICS i guess LG is not gonna give it soon.
Froyo is ok BUT its too old.
There are also plenty of ROMS over here in XDA that you can try.
I am currently using:
Rom:ThiaizO3D 2.6.1 Prada Gingerbread + Real3D ICS look
Cpu:Overclocked 1.22 (Antutu Benchmark Score 6228)
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=e3ee...DvjVQa1PpcFNhr2pTgwIdtRMI2jRQla0DEXDWXrsqDrY=
I do not think the update, I would point to the custom rom. Because the LG seems to have no intentions of taking this team rom
I am going to email LG now!

The latest android version for LG O3D would be 2.3.5.
If you want to upgrade it, you can use LG mobile support tool.
Link:
http://www.lg.com/se/support/mc-support/mobile-phone-support.jsp
Then you can type P920, then select it, it will show you a page with the download link for the P920 driver and upgrade tools.
When you want to upgrade, open the LG mobile support tools then make sure you select your country first.
Good luck.

which kdz file is the best for me to return my phone to its original fimware and to continue update using the setting on my phone and using the original setting given by lg..im stock on this version,,,.
pls do help me
may God bless you all
You can only do small updates within the system using Software Update option , otherwise you should use LG Software Update Program.
You can't modify files that system uses at that moment. Windows overcomes this by restarting and Running a command script just after boot. As far as i know android doesn't operate that way.
I could be wrong...
Nevertheless , this is more of a glitch than a problem so you could just do the workaround.

You're already using the latest version of Android available to Optimus 3D P920.
So , you don't need to update.
If an update becomes available (which will be ICS) you can't update it via "Settings/Software Upgrade" anyway.
It's a major update.
As i explained in the earlier post (which you would know if you actually read it.) you can't do major software upgrades with that button.
You need to use "LG Software Update Tool".

Think he means a screenshot of the message that appears on screen.
Normal practice is to give as much info as possible eg are u rooted? Do you have a custom rom ? Etc etc otherwise it's just a guessing game for everyone on here
You say your on hboot 2.2.2 so I am assuming your android version is 4.3 stock .
If when you click on check for updates and it says "no update available" then there is no update available! As it hasn't been pushed to your device yet by your service provider.Are you on about sense6? If so I don't no anyone that's had the official update yet. You can get sense 6 from here if you are rooted.
If when you click check for updates and it says ther is, but you can't download. Then that is a different story.
It's all just a guess without info
