Did anyone succeeded to root LG-P920 version V20A android version 2.3.5?
Since I am reading in several threads/forums that some people succeeded to root this device by using some tools but thousands others don’t.
There is any reliable answer to this? There is any difference in ROMs from country to country as far concerning rooting?
I did flash the V21A (from V20B) with GB2.3.5 then rooted by SOC 2.3.1, everything normal.
Thanks hondymondy for the reply but your version is: V21A/V20B
and unfortunately different countries/operating companies released different versions..(as far as I know)
I called LG and they told me that the V20A is my latest release.. if I flash another rom may I have problem with the stability on the phone.. (phone network..)
where are you from?
20a for CIS countries is rootable,others - no
we are talking about Europe region
Now its posible look for the topic worked on any version 20A.20B and so on

Give this a try. Worked for me on 2.3.5 V20C
http://vulnfactory.org/blog/2012/02/...ll-optimus-3d/
It worked
Thank you very much blkcavy98
Even if your link is down right now (after the last I posted I was disappointed since I have done a lot of search with no success, thus it took me a while to login again) I check on the site I search for:
"Rooting the LG Thrill / Optimus 3D"
I followed the instructions and it worked!!!!

Hi, I am currently running V.2.3.4 on my Samsung GS 2. The phone is unlocked purchased on Internet and I am with AT&T in US.
My question is how can I get 2.3.5 or higher if it's official released by Google says for UK but not for US. I don't even know Google did release it in US or not.
If not, can I still do it and where can I get it?
Any reponses would be appreciated.
Do you have the international or the AT&T version? The international version has 2.3.6 already.
You can find out which version you have in the system information. The international version is the GT-I9100.

Thanks for replying. My carrier is AT&T but I bought the phone unlocked online so it is the international version ( no AT&T name on it ) Is 2.3.6 official release or simply a beta?
Thanks
Official release. However it's not available to everyone through KIES yet. I don't know why. Maybe because Samsung handles updates crappy or because KIES is crappy.
You live in the US so I'll find a suitable update for you (English language and such). Just give me some time. I REALLY need to go sleep now. Just tell me what CSC you have asap. The best would be if you post your output of the System-Information from Android. Kernel, Baseband,....such stuff. Do you use Windows, Linux or OSX?

I got the 2.3.4 from KIES yesterday but every body is talking about 2.3.6 ( may be in some countries )I would like to get the newest one of course. If Google didn't release for US market then I'll get it myself.
What is your current CSC code?

Remember there are many variants of the Samsung Galaxy SII. Some have that update (as shown in the thread), some don't (like yours - XWKI4 (KI1)). You could interchange if you want to; See here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1301772.

That's right, but if he tells me what CSC he has, he might has luck. There is a 2.3.6 firmware with multicsc and if his is amongst them, he can safely flash it, because it's english anyway.
If he has no luck, he still has options:
Wait for an update or go with MIUI or CyanogenMod and therefore 2.3.7.

Interchange? Meaning I can still use the 2.3.6 that is suppose for other GS 2 right?
GT-I9100 is GT-I9100 so the firmware will work on your device. But depending on your CSC, you might get problems with mobile data and such.
CSC is a problem in stock-roms only. Custom-roms just work, so those are an alternative too. You can always flash back later.

TheSniperFan,
So which firmware that I should get I mean the stable one of course. Can you post me the link for download if you happened to know.
Thanks
P.S. I've done the upgrade on my wife's Samsung Galaxy 3 I5800 one time ( from 2.1 to 2.2 ) The phone was not for US market as a result I could not get updates but I found the firmware & instructions online and finally got it done.
I just saw quite a bit of people in Android forum complaining about 2.3.6 causing battery drainage after the upgrade. Is it real?

Let me check this. I can't tell now, because I've never used 2.3.6. I used 2.3.7 right away and now my ROM is based on 4.0.1. If the battery is a problem, I'll find you a 2.3.5. one.
Sent from my GT-I9100 using XDA App
EDIT:
Indeed many people on the internet complain about that battery-life got worse. Here on xda and various different sites. I think you should go with 2.3.5 then. It's still an upgrade and people like it.
The latest one for you should be this one:
XWKJ3

Thanks thanks again!
Firmware upgrade FAILED! HELP!
I was upgrading my GS 2 from 2.3.4 to 2.3.5 by following the links provided here some how the upgrade failed. In the mean time my GS2 STILL SHOW DOWNLOADING and said DO NOT UNPLUG THE CABLE so I waited, waited I think it was more than 12 to 15 min finally I unplugged it, the phone was still in downloading mode and didn't respond to all buttons so I removed the battery, tried back the downloading mode again then it pops up the message " Firmware upgrade encountered an issue. Please select recovery mode in Kies & try again "
But Kies said " Device not responding. To resolve the issue reboot the device " which I've tried a numerous time and nothing happen. Can some one help please!!!
Thanks
UPDATE:
I just got it fixed. While I was waiting I decided to go ahead to do whatever it takes what I did was re-do the process by opened up the Odin on PC suprisingly the downloading bar on phone & Odin both appearing while the " Firmware upgrade encountered a issue Please use KIES for recovery mode " message still there and Odin said it passed, the phone rebooted and I checked the version which is 2.3.5 I also checked all my files nothing is lost. How & why I have no idea may be some Android experts in this forum can tell me. Now everything is all good. I learned my lesson I should kept waiting before unplug or remove the cable/battery whether the process is succeded or not.

According to this article, we're finally getting a Gingerbread update on Feb 1. I'm hoping that this fixes the data problems I've been having with the European GB versions, and maybe even fix the ghost call issue. I hope it can be rooted soon too.
Better late than never I suppose.
Here's a link to the V20C kdz file for those having trouble downloading it from LG.
http://dl.dropbox.com/u/14826760/V20C_00.kdz
Nice to hear that. I just acquired one today.
So only 2 days of waiting!
Kevindee can you try this method to see if you can get a kdz file:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=865479
I tried it and it still gives me the original V10C from July, but I'm not entirely sure if I did it correctly.
lucky canadians
asians(including koreans so understand the irony) still dont have GB
Now how do i return to stock rogers from 21b?

Well I suppose you can flash the stock V10C kdz file to return to stock. I'm not quite sure, but I think you should be able to just flash the new GB coming out without any problems.
joax11: I'm probably going to hold off on updating to GB right away until it can be rooted. I'm sure someone else on Rogers can upload the kdz file though.
Nice. But I have moved on. I am now P920
It's Feb 1 now.
Just checked, still no update.
Can anybody upload the update kdz?
yeah I just checked my LG update utility too under "Supporting Model" and it still says V10c for Rogers P925g.... common LG... don't make us wait on the day we've been waiting for!
I noticed a version of V20c on the screenshot of the phone in the original article posted. I'm sure that we won't have that rooted anytime soon, especially since 21b can't be rooted!
I just chatted with a support rep for LG Canada and here is what they said: "Unfortunately we have not been advised that the update is going to be released today. Where did you hear see this information?" I replied with the link and they they said: "The only information that we have been provided at the moment was that your model will be getting ice cream sandwich in the second or third quarter of this year." I then pushed it further and he said: "I was just advised that it will be soon. No time frame was given. Sorry.
ICS will be second or third quarter of this year."
When I contacted LG today they told me that they are not informed about any updates,and advised me to contact my network provider.

hmm apparently there are all kinds of blogs copying mobileSyrups original post and modifying the information slightly.. its all over the web. No concrete proof though of course.
My LG tool still says v10c directly from their servers and I'm in Canada on Rogers carrier.

probably just vaporware I am still running the brazil v20a rom.
It looks like they have got the 20C ready but just not allowing download yet.
If you try http://csmg.lgmobile.com:9002/swdata/WEBSW/LGP925G/ARGSDB/V20c_00/V20C_00.kdz
You will get :
Forbidden
Your client is not allowed to access the requested object.
While if you change the 20c to 20b, you will get:
Not Found
The requested object does not exist on this server. The link you followed is either outdated, inaccurate, or the server has been instructed not to let you have it.
So this indicates indeed the file is there already.
Also, looks like 20A is there, too.
I hate LG keep us waiting for so long...........
So has anyone got it yet? Because I accidently installed v21a (don't ask) and I love the 2.3.5 but the lack of 4G/Hspa is hindering me but in my current area even on 2.2 the 4G in my area only does maybe 140kbps if I'm lucky rogers hasn't updated the pipe line. I also don't want to risk going back to 2.2 because I love v21a its so fast and 100% better
Hi chinabull.
I'm using your link and its working fine. 418Mb!
let me download the whole kdz image.
Hey guys,any news?
hi
im struggling to understand something. I followed the procedure to upgrade my baseband to gingerbread and had v21a for a couple of months. A few problems have occurred with ghost calls etc so i decided last night to use the lg update tool again and flash the 20b.kdz file instead. Finally got it to work and my phone said it was running software 20b. I then rooted and install a backup i had of thiaiz 0.1. When I looked at the phone info again, it says software version 21a...baseband is L6260_MODEM_SIC_01.1042.00. Is this still the 20b baseband?
just confused me because the software version changed back to 21a?!
ideally after either a v20 baseband or maybe a froyo baseband with cyanogen
thanks

Thats not a problem mate whatever kdz you flashed the baseband will be the same when people make rom and thiaiz makes excellent roms we do not edit that part but rest assured that your still on 20b baseband..
If you don't believe me install Cyanogen mod on your phone and ur baseband will say 20b... Cyanogen mod always tell you your right baseband. Normal devs like us don't edit that bit so whatever rom we use that roms buildprop stay on the rom..

Thanks the info all. Thought i was going mad. Think i may well give 21d a go then. Its just the voicemails and some missed calls plus shocking battery life that bugs me
so to make sure i get this....if i flashed the kdz of the 21d firmware...then rooted it and restored a thiaiz rom backup through CWM....that will leave me with the same rom i love but with the 21d baseband+without any problems???
struggling to find a download link for 21d that works.... can someone please post one?

Hi guys. Yesterday I got brand new LG P999 (T-mobile i think, On the box is LG-999,not G2X), although I live in Europe In settings options under about phone tab are following details: android version 2.3.4, kernel 2.6.32.9, built GRJ 22, baseband m6600a-scautnz-2.09720t (may212012)mp:trulge_08.09.02r_mdm, software version lg-p999-v10c-usa-xxx. When I try to update firmware through LG Mobile Support Tool it says that there is already latest version V10c. I dowloaded app GetRil form google play and it says that RIL is not compatible to existing Baseband. So my question: is there another/newer version of software version (like v20 or something), do I need to install adequate baseband and which one or just sit back,relax and wait for official ICS?
Thanks in advance and sorry for my bad english
"sit back relax and wait for official ics "

There is no custom recovery for our phone. I hope that someone will be able to build one. I've got the Hong Kong version and flashed it with Taiwan rom because it was 10D and I had 10b.
http://www.lg-phones.org/official-lg-g-pro-2-d838-v10e-firmware-rom.html you need to download the 16GB version.
you can flash it with this: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2797190
I'm not responsible for any damage that you will cause to your phone.
Hi Sarvesh,
Even I am in need for the LG Indian version rom but its not available and hence I did not even root. If you install the Hong Kong version and need to go for the warranty repairs. LG CS will detect that the rom has been changed and hence will not give warranty. This is the only reason I have not rooted my phone yet.
guys is there a way to extract the rom from the phone directly. If yes, can you please guide me so that I can extract the rom and save it somewhere in the cloud so that everyone can benefit.
Regards,
Kailash
Hi Guys,
I dont see why you can't root your phones. You can always come back to stock using the LG Mobile Support tool. I had softbricked my phone a few weeks back and was able to restore my phone with stock LG ROM losing the root access.

Hi Sarvesh,
I kind thought of that but after rooting. So after changing a lot of ROMS and playing with the system i finally got a way out (just incase i need warranty) Can you send me a screenshot of your software version screen(Settings>About phone>Software information) ?
Here's what i tried.
1) Installed a custom rom
2) then installed a stock rom HKG version 10a
3) then i ran towelroot again to root the device
4) then edited build.prop file to edit information like build version, build number etc)
5) rebooted and saw the info. it worked. Then unrooted the phone.
IT WORKED > So basically i have stock rom which shows I have the Indian version
Please pm me the screenshot or send it here and i'll tell you every line that you need to edit. :good:

Sorry for a delayed response, was out of connectivity areas. Looks like you have already installed a different stock. Because as far as i know the sotware version should have -IND-XX at the end.....However,
Once you have root, download and install the build.prop editor (you'll find it on google play)
Once done edit the following entries.
-ro.build.display.id =KOT49i.D83810d
- ro.lge.swversion= D83810d-IND-XX
(where 'd' is the version...fo it can be f as well. But keep both same)
That should make your ROM look like stock indian.
Then using supersu pro unroot the phone.
