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.

Thank you for your reply!
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!

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

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"

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.

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?

Please upload the kdz once it is out!

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.
Rogers LG Optimus 3D Android 2.3.5 Gingerbread V20C Available
Supposedly is out?

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.

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.
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.

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".
