Why would anyone wonder if this is official? Where was it ever indicated by anyone, let alone LG or T-Mo, that this was it?
One thing is certain... this latest leaked build is a stock and un-rooted ROM, so future over the air updates will still work.
It was just strange it was available to the public when unofficial. It never said it was unofficial either.

I sure hope there is an OTA update, I am one of the ''lucky'' ones with LGP999DW phone and cannot update it at all, it keeps saying my phone is up to date and there is no update available.
Where do you see the dw or dwp. All mine says is lgp999 in about phone

You have to connect it to the LG update tool to see it.
I have never been able to get the OTA to work on the stock rom and being unrooted. From the day I got the phone it always has told me that it could not check for updates because of an authentication error. Same thing happens with this new leaked GB rom.

maybe because people got it off the official LG updater?

Not sure why that's happening to you

Yeah, either do I. Someone said it could be a bad sim card. I am going to go to the T-Mobile store my me on monday to get my plan adjusted to the lower price and I will ask them about it then.

In a brief search, I was unable to find the LG Updater on the LG site. I ended up downloading it from a post in the dev section of this board.
I don't think any G2x customer was ever instructed to do anything other than wait for an OTA.

I got it off the LG website. It was around a while before the update was released. You could check fir updates using it. More than likely, this tool is made for unbranded users who wont get a TMO OTA. People who bought an LG G2x not a T-Mobile G2x. This is the only way they can update I'd think.

Here's the tool:

It says for me that my phone is up to date however. LG customer support says there is no update yet.

My daughter's phone this morning had an update from T-Mobile. I told her not to install it, as it may revoke root.
She clicked on it (kids....), but luckily it says it's been post-poned until the 22nd (tomorrow)..
Just wondering if anyone has any idea what it is?
I know any OTA updates may potentiall revoke root, but just wondering if anyone else has gotten this.
The worst it could do is overwrite your root, but it wouldn't take that ability away, you would just need to re-root it after the update was completed. I heard some rumors that KJ2 was being pushed out as an official update, but I'm not entirely sure.
It's 100% true or i wouldn't have posted it. I got the update via Kies. It's coming OTA soon.

Whats KJ2?
Also im running Gingerbreak on it, if it revokes the root, would the thing even boot up?
I got it today. No obvious changes but it does seem to work a bit smoother.
Gingerbreak? you mean GingerClone? Gingerbreak is the rooting method for Gingerbread (2.3).
KD1 was the original stock firmware, then they pushed KG2 as an update, and the latest update is KJ2, which includes some bugfixes and not many other changes.
You can still root after the update. KJ2 is seriously worth it. The phone runs so smoothly now. Although, I still think this is TM's way of staving us off until they release GB. XD

Sorry, you are correct
So it's safe to install the update? I'll tell her to do it as soon as I get home.
is anything else different? I generally try to let others test the waters first, since the last "update" merely removed a useful shortcut function and added Google Books as bloat.

You wont notice anything different except maybe better performance. You should do it.

I went ahead and grabbed the update off Kies. So far, it looks like the persistent memory leak issues have been addressed in the Touchwiz/Zipwip software package. Also, my battery performance has returned to what I expected with KD1 (given my device's configuration).
I haven't encountered any drawbacks to upgrading. No reason to stick with KG2 or KD1 at this point--unless you fell in love with a custom...

I am running gingerclone as well, i got the notice for the update but postponed it, I didn't know if it would be safe to run since i wasn't on a stock rom, I got tired of seeing the update icon so i let it run, it failed.
The phone rebooted and I have not seen the update notice again.
I have TouchMIUIwiz v3 and I also ran the update after getting sick of the constant reminder and icon. It failed and disappears for a few days then come back. I've repeated the process a few times now.
Update installed fine for her and nothing is too different. Safe to go.
It won't work unless your on a completly stock and unmodified rom.

If only that would make it stop bothering me to run an update that will constantly fail every few days.

I just checked through software update and it said that new update is available but download servers are busy. Once they are available your phone will automatically check for update again.
Anyone else see this?

Thats what im thinking, and maybe now we can haz a la3 radio that doesnt drop data every 2 seconds
I just did a test, I'm on stock 2.3.6, baseband UCLA3, Kernel 2.6.35.11, and I'm getting a "Software is up to date". So I'm not sure what you are seeing. See if you can reach your local AT&T store and see what they say. Mine here seem to know what is going on (generally speaking) and have been right on when something is being pushed and such.
Just saying...
P.S. I've never had the issue with data dropping or anything like that and I've been on UCLA3 since the initial push OTA before being pulled.
I just tried it and I am on 2.3.5 and it said I was up to date. But I am also unrooted on a stock nandroid backup. My baseband is still the UCLA from 2.3.6

I had the same issue. Go to Wifi and update that way. You MAY have to kick the date on the phone forward a couple days, but that will trick the updating to run again (give that you can only update once every 24 hours or so). This is what happened with mine. I'd be on UCLA3 with 2.3.5 Android.
Just see how that goes by changing the date a couple days ahead and updating while connected to Wifi. This is the exact same process as the guys in my local store did when it was only partially updated. If that doesn't work, talk to a tech in the store (corporate store!!), they might have a trick or a way to do it over the computer.
Just my $0.02 from personal experience...

nope, just checked and im on 2.3.5 and says im up to date
you dont have to change the date, just clear the DATA form the Device Management App in manage ALL applications and you are good to go.
Anyone else receive the OTA notification or manually check and be able to install this? Mine says its up to date... I had the 2.3.6 update fail several times and could not receive the last update... Stock 2.3.5.

yea same as you, im not getting no update
I'm pretty sure that it gives the "Update available but servers are busy" message whenever it cannot contact the server. I've saw this once when there definitely was NOT an update available.

please delete the thread
My daughter got it early on. I didn't. I'm having a lot of battery issues and rebooting. I want this update, hopefully it will cure my problems.
Reading the posts here, it seems it may have been withdrawn,
So I ask, Did you get the OTA? When?
I saw in the other post about the update that someone had it waiting for them Monday morning so I guess that means it wasn't withdrawn as of yesterday?
I never got it, either.
My wife hasn't gotten it, but I installed a different kernel. Would that keep her from getting the notice?
I figured if the ROM was stock, she would be ok...

I'm stock. I'm on 2.3.3 and v21e.
I'm curious and just want a show of hands from people who got it after the first couple of days.
Like I said, I did see where someone said they got it apparently over the weekend. This tells me it's not withdrawn?
And isn't the consensus that the OTA goes more smoothly than through LG?
Here's the problem, there's the lgp999DW, DWP, and 2 others that I dont remember off the top of my head. Only 3 of the 4 got the OTA. They're supposed to make the file available, for those who didnt recieve it like they were supposed to, around May 14. At that time I'm sure there should be a way to force load the update for our model.

I did the whole stock format and search for update, did the stock format and connected to my computer, all said the same thing, "Your device is up-to-date. 2.3.3 V21e." There is no current sure-fire way to get the update until they release it.

I just went through the G2x forum at T-Mobile and several reported getting the update today.
OK, found out the update was for lg p999DW models only. If you wanna which one you have, remove your battery cover and right below were the battery goes in little white print you should see something LG-P999DW or LG-P999DWP.

Official OTA is v21e
Unofficial OTA is v21y
v21y is highly NOT RECOMMENDED!!!
You can try by offline-upgrading back and forth both versions and check out the battery life

Or...
If you are looking the HE update why not just go with CleanRom 3.0. It is based off of the new HE update and is about 95% stock. The plus side is that most of the garbage (VZW bloat) is removed. It is MUCH faster and very stable.
