Edit: It turns out this is a 2.2 security patch update. The rom version number doesn't make sense for a Froyo rom. Sorry guys.
Here is a link for the KDZ file for the new Videotron GB rom. Since it was just released I am assuming it is 2.3.4 but I don't know for sure. Once people install it they can do a Nandroid backup and post the system image for the rest of us to download. I suspect it includes an updated baseband also. Once we get confirmation people can use the KDZ method to update their baseband and then flash back to the rom of their choice. If someone does flash it during the flashing process please copy and save all the extracted rom files in the C:\ProgramData\LGMOBILEAX\Phone directory. The phone subdirectory is created by the KDZ Updater and creates a dll and a wpb file. Then the LG Updater will further extract the wpd file into the files it will flash.

Search for the KDZ method to unbrick a device. Use the same method. I am not going to give you a step by step as that is already in that thread. You can search yourself and find it in the development section.
This is a link to the KDZ method thread:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1180331
However, I am confused about this so-called update, as its number is exactly the same version as the stock 2.2.2 Videotron ROM ("LG-P999-AVC-V21d"). Is it really a 2.3.3 or 2.3.4 ROM? I'll try it out but I am skeptical...

The rom designations are done on a carrier by carrier basis based on how many builds LG does before they have a final release. It has nothing to do with any other roms. The previous rom for Videotron was a v11 rom. When LG jumps the number by 10, it is always a newer version of the OS. It should be a GB rom. We just don't know if 2.3.3 or 2.3.4 until someone flashes it.
Ok, tried the update using my trusty XP Mode virtual machine and got a "failed to decode the file you specify" in the KDZ Updater.

Make sure you got a complete download. The file is 181Mb in size. I was able to get the KDZ program to extract the .dll and the .wdb file but after that if a phone is not attached it won't launch the LG Updater.

Where's the original source for the Videotron LG P999 update? I looked around Videotron's website and couldn't find it.
Update
I found it on LG Canada's website: http://www.lg.com/ca_en/support/mc-support/mobile-phone-support.jsp
I phoned LG Canada. The CSR told me that it is not an Android update, it is just a patch for Videotron's LG-P999 phones which have a problem receiving text messages.
I am updating right now.
I am at 4% after 4 .30 minutes. (Will update this post as I go)
Still stuck at 4% after 6.51 minutes
After 10.18 minutes still at 4% (now wondering if there is a problem. I have used KDZ numerous times - over 10 phones and have never been this long stuck on the 4% (the Update on the LG SW still flashing. The Phone hows SW upgrade..please wait
At 14.13 minutes..still at 4%
REad Core Memory post.
Did exactly what he did.
Rebbot phone. Install CWM 5.02
Install weapon.Phone still shows as SW upgrade. (even though weapon install was successfil)
I will play with it a bit later. Need to get back to work

I had that happen to me too when I tried to install the T-Mobile update. After the same problem occurred a few times, I left it at 4% for a while then installed Weapon 3 and it booted with the updated baseband. Apparently, the baseband is the first thing that gets flashed and it may already be installed even though the update is stuck at 4%.

The download was completed with no error and is the correct size. As I stated above, the process starts but finishes with the error message I posted previously.
That said, I updated the phone using the default Videotron stock ROM referenced in the LG Updater and that worked fine, but that's only on version 2.2.2.

You're half right. But that also makes you half wrong. I'm a computer tech, so I'm familiar with the fact that running something in an emulated environment isn't the exact same thing as running in a real environment. You're running a virtual machine, it's an emulation, not the real thing, programs don't always work the same under emulation versus the real world (for lack of a better term). If this is that big of a deal to you, go find a place, such as a copy shop, where you can run the necessary software from inside XP, either that or set yourself up with a dual boot.

Everything other than flashing the KDZ works under the virtual machine without a hitch, including flashing CWM with the nVidia updater. The problem is with the KDZ file. My phone is detected, no problem, APX drivers installed, the works. I'm not going to type out all the messages that flew by, the process starts but eventually stops. Not a good sign.
Oh, and BTW, I've been working in the IT industry for over 25 years, so I think I have a pretty good understanding what will work or not in a virtualized environment VS native OS, so spare me the condescension.

I really don't care how long you've been in the industry and the IT industry covers a lot so for all we know you could be a networking guru who knows crap about fixing computers but knows networking inside and out.
And if a program absolutely has to be run in XP it sounds more like a failing in the program since most programs have worked better on Windows 7 than they did on XP. But this thread isn't about that.

Since that thread on how to unbrick many moons ago -- People reported that they did in fact get things working in Win7/Vista; It just had a lot lower success rate. People also got it going in XP mode / Virtual environments. So an actual XP machine isn't 100% necessary, it was just the most successful method.

I was just gonna say, I updated my phone to the July 15 baseband using 64-bit Win 7 using this guide:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1332350
I don't think XP is required at all, it's just a false myth, most people's issues stem from the fact that you need to have a stock ROM for a KDZ file to flash properly (IE you can't update your baseband/flash a .kdz with CM7 installed).
You'd need to follow a guide this like:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1048274
to flash back to a stock Froyo or Gingerbread ROM, and probably use NVFlash to put stock recovery back on too.
... Perhaps in the future instead of bragging to each other about how much IT experience you have just find a solution to the problem and post that instead...

I could've swore I read they stopped it? If so then is there anyway to flash the phone and be able to get the baseband? My co-worker's phone keeps rebooting, etc. I don't want to use the LG Update Tool. I bricked my phone and finally got it unbricked after 5 hours.
you are right T-Mobile already stopped rolling out the OTA.
Your only opportunity to get the new baseband is the LG tool

I used the LG tool about an hour after the update was relesed and it went perfectly smooth. What I did was a factory reset before I did it and I dont know if that mattered but I had no problems. I would do it you really have no choice. I thought I read somewhere that someone is working on a version that you can install from SD but I might be wrong and I dont think you will get the new baseband which in my opinion is one of the best things about the update. It is the only part you cant just flash. If you root you can install any ROM like the leaked one or whatever. So I would use the LG updater. The other thing is I have the LG updater on my computer and it starts automatically and it says that their servers are undergoing maintenance so you cant use that either. I hope this helps you

There are precautions you can take to prevent a bad experience. Most of them are listed on the Forum somewhere. But to recap,
Stock ROM: Install a stock rom. Root does not impact the update, so being rooted is not an issue. Find the Stock Rom and load it.
Standard recovery: Flash the standard recovery. If you are happy with your current rom, do a nand backup first. Then flash the stock ROM.
Factory reset: Throw this in because it can't hurt.
Many of the people that had problems with the LG updater simply did not meet the above steps.
While doing the update, remember, turn off AV, turn off pop up blockers. Turn off FAX programs or any other monitoring program, even screen savers. Do NOT make assumptions. There are several places in the update where the progress appears to stop. Do NOT disconnect. If you have been stopped for a hour, something is wrong. But a few minutes is not out of line. Personally I stopped at 4% for about 5 minutes...then it continued.
Here's the thread to return your device to stock....its pretty good. I can walk through these steps in less than 5 minutes....its really simple. Set your friend up with this.....
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1088728
In case you're wondering, the thread above will NOT restore to pure factory like condition. It will NOT restore the original baseband. But all the rest works....its easy to use, simple to follow.....and more than anything else, does not require you to think....only follow. The worst problem people have when doing this is thinking, and assuming. Just follow the steps as is, no ad lib.
Good luck.
I've used the LG Updater on 3 phones, and I haven't had any problems.
I followed this page of instructions from the LG website and had no issues. http://wwwstg.lg.com/us/mobile-phones/G2X-Driver/index.jsp

That is only the first time it runs after you install it. Click start and go to "LGMobile Support Tool" and run the "LGMobile Update" program. It should run this time without the bogus server down message. If you look at the dates in that notice, the maintenance was back in July. Be sure to right click the program and run as administrator if you are running Windows 7. Make sure you install the drivers from within the updater also, as the other driver pack on their website doesn't seem to install all the drivers you need to complete the update. Good luck.

I didn't have to run as administrator and I used Windows 7. Following the instructions in the link I posted above I had no issues at all. Drivers were installed separately from the updater, again just following the instructions from that link.
Follow LG's instructions word for word, in order, from start to finish, without skipping any steps, and you shouldn't have any issues.

When you ran the program did Windows have a warning box that said this program wants to make changes to your computer, and you had to say yes or no to allow it to continue. That means the program installer set it to admin mode already and Windows confirms you want to run the app as an admin. Without admin mode in Windows 7, programs that flash roms and such simply don't work properly. Looks like LG mitigated a problem by setting the flag during the program install.

I have used NVflash via command prompt on windows XP. when i hold the power+ -volume I see another LG logo( since I'm using the latest version 5 of clockwork mod recovery). I download rome like eagleblood, weaponG2x, WindG2x(some one had posted original android), miuiandroig2x etc. I have been creating .zip of each of them and pasted onto my sd card via mounting sd card from CWM recovery. then installed .zip from sd card and selected each of them but it says INSTALLATION ABORTED before starting. Not able to get any rom installed. Please help.
kdz updater crashes after 100% under download section. it says decompressing necessary files and doesn't respond after 100% and crashes. I've tried win 7 home basic 64 bit, xp professional 32bit.
Does not respond after saying NORMAL MTK UPGRADE START
read the guides/tutorials again
First and foremost I think you need to read ALL the tutorials on here a little more thoroughly, the way you're describing things indicates that you are unfamiliar with the correct process of flashing different roms. "S/W upgrading screen"?? "creating .zip of each of them"?? The issues you're experiencing are almost 100% user error and nothing hardware related.
Having said that, before you start blindly flashing, do a nandroid backup of your stock Wind rom immediately, then and only then proceed to flashing custom roms/kernels. Also, I would double check the nvflash instructions and repeat that process in its entirety, there's really no need to use rom manager at all or have the latest recovery release (from my experience with 5+ Android phones rom manager serves little purpose unless you're on cm nightlies, cwm and some patience is all you need).
Hopefully that didn't sound harsh, I'm honestly trying to help you, but seriously re-read everything then proceed with flashing, and if you're still having issues hopefully you can include more detailed information next time.

Hi, I have a similar problem.. I rooted my phone yesterday and then installed rom manager. When flashing, I chose LG Optimus 2X (which turns out to be P990) instead of the T-Mobile one (which is P999). My phone is the P999 one with Wind as well.
After a few seconds, the phone restarted and got stuck in the loading screen.
After doing a few searches, I nvflashed a stock image, but under phone info, the Model changed from P999 to P990. Problem is, the baseband says unknown and cannot get any signal. I tried KDZ updates as well as trying to restore stock ROMs using CWM Recovery with no success.
The KDZ method doesn't work as it gives an error saying there is a problem with the phone connectivity. Stock restores get stuck in a bootloop.
Does anyone know what I should do?
I have also tried the following :
Booted into CWM Recovery>mount SD card>USB Mount > extracted LG-P999-V10f>backup and restore(in CWM)> restore> YES
It went through and at the end said Restore Complete! but when i reboot I still see the S/W upgrade screen. I tried Factory restore too after restoring the above mentioned RoM
PS:My phone is not rooted and it is Wind mobile Canada LG-P999dw. Incase i need to root it then how am i suppose to do that since i am not able to bypass the Stupid S/W upgrade screen

This is totally a misunderstanding for everyone. T-mobile got a specific branded version called the G2X (in the usa) but the rest of the world got Optimus 2x. I hate when G2X owners frown upon Optimus users that have questions in the G2X thread & vise versa (though there were none in this thread ). The threads need to be better named to P999 & P990 & these misflashes would not have occured. Not just on this site but the whole damn internet. Let me sum it up for the world lol ... There were 3 versions of the Optimus 2x released... The p990, The P999 & The Tmobile specfic branded G2X which is also a p999. I have a p999 Optimus 2x as stated in my Signature. People need to check their version & goto the appropriate forum, But it doesnt help when you are in the correct forum as a newbie & 10 ppl who actually have no idea what version your Optimus 2x is end up telling to to goto "THE OTHER FORUM" because they're in their own closed little world lol. C'mon guys... u know I love you all!
ANYHOW
I've heard of people using Smartflash (a tool made for the p990 ONLY) to partially unbrick p999's to a working state. Here's a small conversation I found on another site:
"Mrjava65, on Apr 29 2011, 18:48, said:
Is there any update on this?
I was one of (hopefully) many who confused the P990 as the same thing as the Optimus 2 @ or the G2X.
So now Im stuck ...If there was a smartflash for the P999 i could undo all this mess !
Any update would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks
LOOK!
Sorry for not updating this topic previously. I had thought I did so however that was on xda. I was able to reinstall the factory rom from a link provided by a user on the xda forum and is also linked on this forum. Go here to download the rom http://www.fileserve.com/file/cwSGYn2/BIN_LGP999AT-01-V10f-310-260-MAR-27-2011+0.zip. You'll need the smartflash tool for the LP9990 to flash the bin files. I was only able to successfully flash the AP.bin, I believe Paul is working on getting a working baseband. The phone will be restored to factory settings after flashing the AP.bin with full functionality. I noticed the baseband is weak and searching for networks does give errors occasionally so we'll be patiently awaiting an update to solve this issue. Albeit your phone will be functional enough to satisfy you till then. If you need any help with the steps just reply in this thread"
*****UPDATE***** : Try reading this link: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1226795 seems like this 1 would be your best bet rather than the above!
Now I don't know if this will work but it appears to be the only option u have. AGAIN Smartflash is a tool for the p990 ONLY & I suggest u only use that method if the second method (second link above) does not work. The KDZ method was crashing for me too when I was trying to update to T-mobile GB OTA update stock but I found that skipping the part that says "Read Phone Information" helped me get past any freezing/app crashing. If you are have connectivity issues w KDZ then make sure you downloaded the correct driver from the LG website for the correct version of windows.
Please update us & let us all know if it remains a brick or if you worked out your problem.

Thanks to help from Dave778 and crazythunder I successfully flashed my WIND LG P999 to the T-Mobile July firmware by using the LG 2.2 driver and uncorrupted V21_00.kdz file. It now has the July baseband. This took 2 weeks of constant failure because the Star_Model.DLL file was corrupt after decompressed from the kdz file. Even though the upgrade worked, it got stuck at the LG screen and the update software didn't indicate that the process had completed. I detached the phone and rebooted but it wouldn't get past the LG logo screen. I flashed it with a ROM after which it completely booted. It totally works and battery life is much better.
Baseband
How does new baseband help? I have Wind too but I dont know how to check which baseband I have. I rooted my phone and flashed EB 2.7 on it.

can you provide the kdz files as they are no longer on tmobiles website? as well as the instructions to flash our wind g2x to gingerbread?
I flashed my phone and also changed my phone info to wcdma only so I don't roam on Rogers I found this setup improved my reception dramatically. I get quicker phone signal recepition than when I was on June baseband. If this does not make any sense sorry on percocet right now from my war wounds but all you half to know is that if your on wind do this upgrade and set your phone not to roam and you will be happy you did

Look at crazythunder's posts:

He has provided information and hyperlinks to the files needed.
Because the V21E_00.kdz file I got from someone's post on xdadevelopers had a corrupt file in it, I went through 2 weeks of hell until I got the V21E_00.kdz file he provides which worked. You won't regret upgrading your WIND Optimus 2X to the T-Mobile G2X firmware because it makes the phone operate much better than the Android 2.2 and baseband in the WIND phone.

Thanks everyone! Updated baseband with no problems at all. Wind Mobile user
Wind Mobile Baseband
So I have flashed the July 15 baseband and now my data speeds are terrible. I was averaging 4mbps before this update and now i am getting 340kbps. I am on WIND is anyone else had problems like this? Or know how to fix this issue? Also is there any way to go back to the WIND baseband JUNE 5th?
Updated my baseband as well and am having the same crappy data speeds as canuckthejason. Any ideas? Any more info I can provide to help troubleshoot?
---------- Post added at 03:22 PM ---------- Previous post was at 02:42 PM ----------
Just a quick update:
After doing the baseband update, I flashed a backup of CM7 I had taken a few weeks ago (latest stable for g2x) and using speedtest.net, was getting D:32Kb/s U:31Kb/s P:3131ms.
Just updated to the last CM7 nightly (201) and now am getting D:1529Kb/s U:90Kb/s P:272ms so it's a bit better ... still not great, but a vast improvement over the initial test
At 5:25 PM today my phone tested on 3G data service in Toronto at:
Ping = 235ms
Download = 4342kbps (4.342Mbps)
Upload = 386kbps (0.386Mbps)

Hi CM
I wonder if you could lend a hand to a Windie thats been beating his head against the wall all night on this.
I've followed about MANY different tutorials and guides and tips on this process, and it never works properly.
My problems are: LG tool detects my phone as V11H and says, no upgrade needed.
KDZ tool ("Launch software update" from FIRST page) crashes after unpacking the KDZ archive and calling the update.
KDZ tool ("Read phone info, start upgrade, change country to 'different country' ... ) Not possible. Im not prompted for another country, but if I go to the menu and try and select it, there IS no 'different country' entry as shown in some screenshots.
The current state of the phone is, stock GB 2.3.3 from the 'recovery rom' nvflash, plus stock recovery.
Any help you can offer would be much appreciated!

This is what you need to do to update using KDZ tools. Unfortunately LG changed the way their updater works and now it always need to check with LG before you update. They dont want you to be able to update your phone anymore if they dont agree with what you are doing . So you need to trick it. Follow this tutorial. It worked for me: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1473781. Then you can use the KDZ tool and you will get the different country option. Let me know how it goes for you.
I tried to update my G2x yesterday via the LG updater tool. Long story short, it froze on the S/W Updating screen and neither T-Mo or LG support could assist in getting it fixed.
I read that it was pretty hard to brick the G2x so I decided to give it an all out effort to resurrect it, especially after the T-Mobile tier two tech support told me there was nothing that could be done, if what he had tried didn't work, the phone was toast. I am just a woman who is more technical than the average woman my age, but I don't mod my phones much in general. I tweak.
I will list what all I have tried, as much in order as I can recall since starting this Friday at noon, don't laugh! (oh the phone is currently working, only 3g and with this Wind ancient looking version)
Flashed CWM on phone (tried all versions at some point in the process)
Totally cleared phone
Tried KDZ_FW_UPD_EN.exe to flash V21E_00 and V21Y_00 Neither would work
Flashed Cyanogenmod 7.1.0.1 Worked, looked beautiful, wifi but no cell service, no baseband, no IMEI
Flashed kdz WIND V11h - everything working but only at 3g
I thought if I got back to something that would put back in a baseband and my IMEI, I could find my way back to the most current update. I can't seem to flash anything new though.
I've tried this :http://forum.xda-developers.com/newthread.php?do=newthread&f=1149

I'm by no means an expert -- an advanced amateur, maybe -- but I'll do my best.
What exactly were you trying to update when you bricked the phone? You said you were using the LG updater tool, but what exactly were you trying to do? Was your phone already rooted prior to the attempted update? Had you made any modifications to your phone or were you running stock? That may help us get to the root of your problem.
Are you still able to get into the S/W update screen using the directions in the PDF you attached? (Ie: if you remove the battery, hold both volume buttons, and then plug in the USB, does your phone turn on and go into software update mode?) If you can get it into this mode, you should be able to flash the stock TMobile ROM using NVFlasher as in this thread:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1056847
This may get you back to step one, and you can try again. Or maybe at that point, someone more knowledgeable will come around with better advice.
Good luck.
Thanks for your quick reply!
I was trying to uh...update to 2.3.4 Gingerbread to hopefully help resolve some minor but longstanding issues I had had with my phone. Mainly, the random reboot and powering off I was really getting sick of.
My phone was not rooted prior to this. I was running stock.
Yes, I can still get into the S/W updater screen following the instructions in the .pdf I posted.
And funny you should post this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/show....php?t=1056847
That is where I originally started when my phone first froze. I have tried to flash to stock using the NV flasher right before I posted the original question. It didn't do a thing and that's when I threw my hands up and decided I needed help!

heh... I can totally relate to throwing your hands up. I just started tinkering with my phone a couple of months ago, and the first night, I spent from 10:00pm until about 5:00am just trying to get Cyanogenmod installed. It was frustrating, but after a lot of reading and re-trying, I finally got it to work.
Okay, when you run NVFlasher, do you get any messages at all? Once you click one of the buttons to flash the phone, I believe a DOS window should popup showing you the status of the flash, whether there are errors while flashing or if it completed successfully. If there are errors, be sure you have the proper APX driver installed, which should be included with the NVFlasher package. What OS are you using on your PC? Windows XP? 7? When you have the phone plugged into the USB and the S/W update screen is showing, you should see "'NVIDIA USB Boot-recovery" listed in your windows device manager.
lol...10pm to 5am eh? Sounds like me, I was (sounds crazy) noon Friday until 2am Sat and started up again around 9am and well...here I sit at 3 am my time, with a few breaks thrown in!
When I run NV flasher, it all goes smoothly. It looks totally complete, no errors. And I am familiar with the errors, the first few hours I had nothing but errors and dead ends. I have the proper APX driver for sure, I thankfully, run XP on this computer. And yes to the "'NVIDIA USB Boot-recovery" listed in your windows device manager. "
Scratching your head like me? I don't want to do Cyanogenmod again, which is what I am tempted to do, thinking now that I have the baseband back, the cell phone service would work. I really just want my phone back the way it was, albeit, updated..ok, so not exactly the way it was!
Currently on phone, so no links. But in other lg device forum on xda there is the "offline updater method" of kdz flashing. It tricks lg updater into using a custom kdz and not to check online. Look for v21y.kdz and use that. Its 2.3.4.
If you can get it working with the old wind mobile rom all you have to do is use the official lg tool from their website and it will update to the latest version for you I had the same problems you are talking about and the only thing I could get to work was the lg offline update tool and flashing the old wind mobile rom after i got that working just went to lg and used their program and it updated me to new baseband an 2.3.4.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=25116859
This is what you will have to do. It took me a while to figure it out. But when you have the programs and files you need all downloaded and setup it works without being online. It worked for me once I figured it out. I had to read it a few times and do some searching for all the files but they are out there. If you do not find them via this site Google it. Good luck.

Awesome! What finally worked for you?
Hmmm...can I even remember?? My brain is still swimming in downloads and error messages!
I had tried the offline updater earlier, but the "Automatic Offline Procedure.vbs" file never would load, I kept getting an error on line 25. I downloaded it all again from other links, and this time I thought it would go through but I kept getting an error at line 70 something.
I finally read "instruction.docx" (the steps that the vbs file was going to have me follow) lol
I turned the windows enabler to the ON position.
I also disabled my LG modem first as I had read that on the .pdf file I posted earlier and it had allowed me to get Wind on there.
I disabled my firewall and anti virus temporarily also.
I opened the UpTestEX_mod2_marwin.exe set it to "3GQCT" and "EMERGENCY" and chose the V21y kdz
I hit "Normal web upgrade test"
Then start upgrade or something and the LG updater tool opened, it found my phone, I think I pressed Start upgrade or whatever again, waited, held my breath too long, passed out, woke up VOILA! DONE!
That is a VERY rough translation of what I did, I have had so many trial and error attempts and variations of settings, files etc, that I don't know what really finally worked! But thank you for your encouragement last night, because I was really about to give up for good (thus the last ditch "when all else fails ASK for help" post) and throw not only my hands up, but the phone across the room!
Now I am finally getting around to re loading my apps and all my settings, ringtones, etc etc etc. I don't know if I now love or hate my G2x!
Thanks to everyone for their replies! And everyone else who posts here and helps so many novices like me!
Glad to hear your back up and running.

What does "disabling the LG modem" mean?
I have a Wind P999 phone with the V11h base band. Of course, the LG updater tool says that I have the latest baseband.
I tried updating using the KDZ tool but that did not work. for me.
I tried pushing a T-mobile Stock Rom too. It did not updated the baseband. LG tool still says I have the latest update.
I have also tried the hack of using the LG Updated with a local shttp server. But even then, when I pressed the "Normal web upgrade test" and "Start update" nothing happens.
Am I supposed to get some feedback while the upgrade happens? How long does this process take?
I am using Window 7 Ultimate 64-bit. All antivirus disabled.
Anything else I could try?
BTW, I have been able to revive a bricked p999 T-Mobile phone that I got from Ebay. it has the stock T-MObile Rom with the March 2012 baseband and software version v21y. This Wind phone is just testing me
Hi. I`m currently trying to update my G2X to latest version V21y, (2.3.4) with the LG Update tool. But everytime it gets to 4% it stops, and the driver on the computer disables for some reason. On the the screen it says "SW update please wait..." (I`m running win 7 64 bit by the way.) I have found tree different driverpacks from LG site ( LGUnitedMobileDriver_S498MA22_WHQL_ML_Ver_2.2, LGUnitedMobileDriver_S4981MAN37AP22_ML_WHQL_Ver_3.7.2 and LGUnitedMobileDriver_S4981MAN38AP22_ML_WHQL_Ver_3.8.1) but its the same problem when I try with the different driverpacks. Is there any other way to install the update without the LG update tool? I`m tired of having to use the G2X_V21E_00_NVFlash to get back to V21E version everytime it hangs. Maybe a program like G2X_V21E_00_NVFlash with the latest version can fix this? Any help would be very much appreciated!!
Did you try to update it on another computer? Also, I'm not sure but I think only having one driver installed is the best as other drivers may conflict with eachother.

Thanks, maybe that will be my last opportunity if I understand it...looks a little difficult. Will it be the same thing as a normal update, or will this make it impossible to update the phone through the LG update tool in a later time and update?
It's almost the same as a normal update. With earlier versions of the LG update tool people could do a kdz update with no problems, but I guess LG figured that out and ever since no matter what version of the LG update tool you install, as soon as you launch it it will automatically update itself to the latest version and thus prevent you from using the kdz update (unless of course it was for your specific carrier). That's where the offline update comes in, regardless of what operating system you're using (I did it on windows 7 64-bit). Basically, it blocks LG's connection to your pc, then installs the LG update tool, and a bunch of other little things, then you're good to go. You have to make sure that you are on a stock rom with no custom recovery installed.
If you follow the instructions carefully, you should be fine. If you run into problems, let us know
Hope this makes it a little clearer as to why it doesn't just simply work anymore.
