Hey there I live in the UK and I have a sim free Optimus 3D. I updated to gingerbread within an hour of buying it and updated my firmware version to V21a. However I have tried to use the software update function whilst connected to a variety of different wifi networks. However I have only gotten the same message from LG saying that I could not connect to the update server and I should check my network connection. Hence my question regarding the state of the update server, have any of you run into the same/similar problem?
[I have searched for a similar thread however not much specifically about this firmware updating issue]
Thanks very much
How did you update to GB ?
Did you modifie your host-file to update ?
I updated to GB using my PC using LG's stock updating tool.
If I understood correctly you've already successfully updated to GB 21A using your PC and now you wanted to make an OTA update from your phone which it's unsuccessful.
A few points that they may help you:
- As far as I know, very few (if any) users managed to update through OTA. Most update with the PC and the LG Update tool.
- Since you live in UK, I think that the most recent version for your country is the 21A that you already have. So even if you try to update through the PC instead of OTA, you won't find a more recent version.
- If you've got a German or Spanish version of O3D, there is a more recent GB 21D ROM. But recently this version was pulled from the LG servers, which I guess it means that the German/Spanish O3D owners cannot update at the moment.

Hi
I installed v10d via cmw, My phone recently checked for updates OTA & informed me that there was a new update available. The file size is 5.04mb, When i try to install it says invalid software?
Has anyone else noticed this?

Maybe the v10D you installed with CWM has a different region code or something making the updater think there's a newer version available. I'm pretty sure the juli update is the latest one.
Be glad your phone refused to install the update as updating OTA with CWM installed is a pretty sure way to brick your phone at the moment.

Once you have CWM on the device you cannot install any official updates anymore.
I have rooted the O3D and checked for updates and had the same file of 5.04mb
I was on stock v10b and the update just brings you to v10d nothing special .

Hello all,
like many users i've forced the mango update on my Omnia 7.I ended up with firmware version 2424.11.8.2.
However, i read that most of the users that got the update the "normal" way got firmware version 2424.11.8.5, so i rolled back to NoDo and updated again - still i get 2424.11.8.2.
So my question is - is my firmware ( 11.2 ) mango, or do i need to update my phone manually somehow?
Anyone knows what's the difference between 2424.11.8.5 and 2424.11.8.2 ?
My samsung now app doesnt auto-refresh also..could this be related to the firmware ver?
When you say "forced" the update, what do you mean?
Also, when you rolled back and then re-installed, did you need to do anything special to re-install?

2424.11.8.5 is the Mango update with Samsung drivers and 2424.11.8.2 without.
If you wanna enable Internet Sharing feature you need firmware 2424.11.8.5, this you can also do manually with Cab sender... just search here in the forum.
I flashed back to a branded T-Mobile rom for getting firmware 2424.11.9.4, with my unbranded Samsung rom I couldn´t update the firmware.

I mean i used the cable trick (google it) to get the update b4 it was available for my phone through zune.
After i rolled back i installed in the normal way - didnt use tricks, zune said there's an update, so i updated.I guess this is the official update for my phone.But i dont get it, why it comes without samsung drivers..
Unbranded phone
As I understand it if you have an unbranded Omnia 7 then you will only have 11.8.5 and that does not give you tethering. For me to get tethering I need the firmware update that only seems to come from the carriers themselves which leaves me in the lurch.
I do not want to faff about with unlocking them especially as I have 3 unbranded phones I guess I will just have to wait and see what Microsoft push out to us plebs. You can of course install the firmware if you phone is unlocked and you will find plenty of instructions on how to do this.
Hi guys,
I have a bit of a problem with my optimus 3d, ive had allsorts or roms installed, custom and stock and i have reflashed back to stock 10d using the binary file and lg flash tool, no problems there, however now ota update and lg update program are telling me I have the latest version! I'm pretty sure 10K is the latest version but my phone is having none of it. The last rom i had was the leaked GB rom and yes i have reflashed the froyo baseband when i went back to 10d. Any ideas why my phone cant see any updates?
Thanks
P.S. My phone is and unlocked Euro open version
If you have EuroOpen version of phone latest firmware is v10d.
You can flash v10k using kdz method in my sugnature.
Thanks for that mate, i'm glad someone knows what the most current firmware is, i'll probably just wait for gingerbread and get it ota when it's released
V10k Was latest EuroOpen, but LG deleted it from server.
Let me guess... LG deleted it with no explanation as to why?
I don't know In many countries v10k is the latest firmware.
And P920 is removed from the list in LGMOBILE support tool in the EuroOpen tab.
I just replaced my LG Optimus 7 for a new one, after it died. Unfortunately I now do not receive any updates and can't really figure out why.
I looked through xdadevelopers and other boards already but could not find any help.
My problem: Zune searches for updates but ends in telling me that my phone is up to date 7.0 (7004). On my old phone I received all updates as I should have received them... But not on the new one.
What I already tried without any success:
- Tried the update on two different machines with latest Zune
- Tried it already for half a week to see if it just takes a while
- Rest the phone to defaults
- Also tried the trick to disconnect the PC from the network that worked for the Mango update. Also not successful
Phone: LG Optimus 7
FW: 7.0 (7004)
Carrierbranding: OPN
Carrier used: Swisscom, in Switzerland
I am really grateful for any kind of advice! Thanks so much!
Maybe your carrier hasnt provided updates after 7004 update

I am using an unbranded phone now (OPN). The one before was Swisscom-branded and I got all updates.
I suggest you flash your phone with a different ROM.

Thanks! Flashed to a branded ROM, now everything is working fine again, must have had a weird SW image...
Hello,
New Android 5.0 Lollipop OTA update for D838-HKG sets is available. But everything time i try to update it gives an error, says, suspect of rooting and Update service is not available for rooted device.
I have unroot my device even after it is giving similer error. Please help to update device.
because you already rooted it once. unrooting with su app. will not going to change that. if you want flash d838 lollipop update via lg offline flash tool 2014. look for a kdz and flash it that will update your phone to lollipop.
bartdotnet is right. I had the same problem too, and installed the update thru the LG offline flash tool
the most recent KDZ version is v20a (for my phone D838 HKG), and you can download it from http://lg-phone-firmware.com/ (it's about 1.2gb in size)
search for a tutorial on using the flash tool, and you're done!
android version in v20a is 5.0.1, and the battery life is worse than before, so think twice before taking the plunge
