LG P509-T completely return to stock?

Is there any way to get ahold of the KDZ stock firmware for the American LG -P509 T-Mobile version? Personally I don't care about whether my phone claims it's a European P500 or an American P509, but should I ever need to return the phone to T-Mobile they might have an issue with it...
I used a tool I found in another thread that is supposed to use your phone's model and serial number to download the proper firmware, but once again it identified my phone as a P500 and downloaded a European firmware. The thing is, I'm considering trading my phones in for something with a hard keyboard (Probably the HTC G2) and I obviously can't turn the phones back in to T-Mobile with custom firmwares and recoveries on them.
I do still have nandroid backups of the original firmware from before my first flash about 6 months ago. If I were to nandroid flash back to stock, is it possible to remove the Recovery and then unroot the phone? I'm sure this has been covered adnauseum elsewhere, but I haven't found anything specific to the LG P509-T.

I think you can use google to find/download 10l firmware. If not when I get home I will post a download for the us p509 firmware.

Thanks, you're awesome. I've been tearing up the internet trying to find the firmware I need, but so far no luck. I suppose I could have flashed back to stock and got the build name and used that as a starting point for my search.

still looking

Here's a link to v10s. It's the most recent 2.2.2

This will bring you back to Tmos stock recovery, baseband, firmware, etc. Good as new.

It works, that's why I posted it. I've tried more roms and basebands more times than I care to admit.

Any way to get ROM?

Hi Lawful123, it seems the links that exist everywhere on this forum for v10L US P509 firmware have been changed by LG. Any help you could give on getting me the firmware would be a huge, huge help. I've spent a couple of days searching with my p509 holding down paper in the meantime.

Is there any reason why v10S won't work? It's the latest 2.2.2 release from US T-Mobile for the P509.
If you're bricked the links I provided above will get you going.

Thanks Turducken. It works perfectly. I really appreciate your help.

You need to install .net to run the tool, and remember to try upper / lower case for your phones S/N or IMEI, don't remember which one, but one of them is working for sure. Hope this helps.

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.

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!

[Q] No firmware info on LG mobile support tool for update

Hello everyone,
First of all sorry if i posted this in some wrong place coz this is my first post. I am new to android world so i am a noob regarding android development n all but soon i'll be playing with Custom ROMS once myself get updated enough.
I have this great phone for past few months and now upgrading to official GB thru LG mobile support tool. already started & now its downloading.
What my problem is that the tool doesnt show any information of what firmware version it is downloading.
Here m mainly concerned about the Ghost Call issues which this fone faces in GB. If any one has any idea about what version
it is getting updated to. I am on Froyo 2.2.2 V10D and is just rooted.
As i have read some threads.. V21e is the one which doesnt face gc..Just want to know if everything works fine on these official ROMS
coz most important for me is the HDMI and 3D functionality as i use them the most. Its mainly for these two things i bought this phone.
Thanks a lot your help

OMG..now the update stuck @4% ..m very much worried:crying:

Problem solved for stuck @4%.
i just left it plugged for an hour and half after it got stuck and finally got pissed and removed the cable. to my surprise the update was over somehow but the tool wat still stuck @4%. Dont know wat happned but seriously LG softwares n tools are not good. it scared **** out of me as i thought i bricked my phone
Now its updated to 2.3.5 V21a. How is this version? i just hope it doesnt have ghost call issues :/ .. i thought i'll get updated to ghost call free version V21e.

you will have to root it again and install 21E baseband, which is well known for being ghostcall issues resolved.
you can search the forums and you will find all the answers.
:good:
schubeir.

are you sure its 21a ??
because the only version that i got ghost call issue is v21a.
you must check the ROM release date.
in the Setting → about → scroll to the bottom.
if the date is before April 2012. it might has ghost call bug.
my advise would be flash the v21e kdz file.

its V21a only n seeing the date i was quite sure abt gc bug. its Nov 2011
been a day with this version..not a gc yet .. i'll try it out for few days and then flash it with V21e as you guys suggested :good:
I thought i'll get updated to V21e as its the latest.
But this is real crazy .when V21e is out there for quite sometime ..y the hell LG's official tool is updating to such an old version.
m hating their softwares/tools X-(

Congrats you already have new baseband (v20).

If your software version starts with v20 you have the new baseband, if it starts with v10 you have the old baseband

[!!] Totally bricked?

Hi!
After flashing ZIP with latest P500 recovery from Jenkins CM server I have serious problem.
I cannot enter recovery or fastboot, computer doesn't see any device connected. After turning on the phone I've got LG logo and then a brand new CM logo. Nothing else.
I was thinking about flashing by LG tools, but - as I said - PC doesn't see any device.
What can I do? Are there any keys combinations to enter fastboot/recovery anyway? I've tried Home+Vol-+Power without success.
PS: I'll try emergency mode in few minutes, it must work!
PS2: Flashing with KDZ updater + emergency mode worked!
a little off-topic question: should I have old or new baseband to use CM10.1 nightlies?

You must have new baseband - v20x to use any custom rom based on GB 2.3.3 and above
Means,
Old baseband - v10x
New baseband - v20x
Old baseband roms based on v10x baseband version.
New baseband roms based on v20x baseband version.eg.all ics +jb and some Gb roms.
Hope you understand this and don't forget to hit thanks if i helped you!

@Taranis, even if you are on old base band you can still flash cm10.1 (or any other new roms) by flashing the "old bb fix" after flashing the rom.

Very good

OT:
It isn't good idea to flash a girl's phone with latest version of Android.
They won't notice it in any way. They can't even differentiate between froyo and gb. Or between Ics and jellybean.
Rather than being happy with latest version of Android she will complain of having low battery life...

I was on Gingerbread 2.3.3 for a day or two before my LG P500 got bricked and I agree the battery life drained out very quick. Does anyone know if there is a list of differences between 2.3 and 2.2?
Also, I'm planning of getting another LG P500 but a used one of course, anyone know roughly how much is worth paying for one? Ty.

you are right, the best android rom for girls is the stock one non rooted, having latest android on her phone will give you headache, but... if the girl is an android geek the latest version is the right one and that supose that she can do it herself
