Why can't my phone update? - LG Optimus 3D

My phone is on 2.2.2 but when I search for an update it says I am on the latest. Obviously Gingerbread is out now but for whatever reason I can't update. How do I fix this?

Your carrier provides ota updates if and when they can be bothered to do it. Use the kdz method like everyone else to do it yourself.

Have you tried lg mobile support tool or the phone build in update tool?

You can't update the phone using the phone's inbuilt update tool for some random reason. You must you the LG mobile suite on a pc to update your phone to gingerbread. You might as well wait because ice cream sandwich is coming out in a few months.

Update went wrong?

Ok I have July baseband on cm. I nandroid to stock 2.2 Rom. Flashed stock recovery. Then, I plugged in ny phone, used the LG updater tool to update. I press update, the phone goes to download mode and then when it scans for connectivity, it stops and says re plug in phone because it cannot find my phone.
Now my phone won't boot up without going into s/w download screen. Can I just use the all in one toolkit from the sound update, boot to s/w and update it? Please help me fix

editk i got it working now. but how do i get the v21y update? do i have to get a v21e 2.3.3 stock with stock recovery and do a software update ota?
please help!
No to update it just unplug the device reboot computer and try to update again. Search around for the LG tool and go from there its pretty easy from that point on and I updated with custom recovery while on a custom 2.3.3 rom.

It should walk you through things install drivers make sure they are correct through device manager, and then reboot computer, then try update. I had issues until I did the reboot then all went smoothly.

[Q] Using LG's official gingerbread update

Hello,
I am currently dusting my old LG Phoenix off for my girlfriend as her blackberry just died. My LG phoenix is rooted using the gingerbreak.apk however, it is still using Froyo.
I would like to update this to 2.3 for her and was wondering if I can just plug my phone in and run the 2.3 gingerbread upgrade tool from LG. Is this possible? Would the phone retain the root?
Thanks,
P.S. I tried looking around on the forums however, I am using a computer at work so I might have overlooked something.
It should if you download and install OTA Rootkeeper from the store. Once installed backup root then upgrade and reinstall OTA and restore.

Can I update another way besides OTA?

Whenever I try to update I get a pop up that says "service unavailable"
Is there a way to update by putting the update file on my phone?
Thanks

Can't I download the zip of the update somewhere? I'm not to worried about small updates, I'm more concerened about whenever the jellybean update comes out.

All you have to do is flash a Rom with whatever update or features that you want.

I'm stock and didn't plan on rooting. I used to do all that with the original HTC EVO and it took up way too much of my time... so I was just wondering if there's a place where all the updates are in a zip format so I can apply any updates manually

Yes. People pull the downloaded ota and your can flash it in stock recovery. I have the lg7 update straight from Verizon if you want it. I think it only works on lf2. If your on lg1 I think you need a different one.
Edit: I'm going into work so I'm gonna post it for you just in case your welcome. This is not modified in any way whatsoever.

If you're stock and not rooted, you should be getting updates over the air from Verizon, you don't need to apply them manually.

I am not trying to be rude but did you read my original post? When I try to update OTA I get a popup saying "Service Unavailable" It's like my phone isn't connecting to Verizon's servers to get the OTA. So I need to apply them manually, unfortunately...if possible

Sorry, I missed that. As long as you aren't rooted and haven't otherwise messed with the phone at all, I'd go ahead and call Verizon and see what they can do. You should be getting updates OTA and if you are not through no fault of your own, it's their responsibility to fix it, especially with the huge security hole that was found in these phones recently.
I had a VW S3 that wasn't receiving the update for OTA and when I talked to the rep he said to use Kies. Kies does say that it will update your phone but I had a problem connecting it. The only way the app will update is if you have your phone connected through USB. I tried and tried and tried but I couldn't get the computer to see my phone in the Kies program to sync it. It would connect through WiFi real quick.

I downloaded kies but apparently my device does not support updating via kies
Give Samsung a call because on the website it does away that Kies will update your software over USB.

How to root install ice cream

Hello,
i have touch problem with my lg 920 p . so i need root the device and flash ice cream rom or any new and light rom except Gingerbread.
thanks
Why you think it is gb dependent thr touchproblems? I never had touchproblems on gb, i didnt think you touchproblems will be solved if you update on ics. Anyway you can directly download the ofgicial lg updatetool on lg.com and update normally when you are on gb.

I live in the caribbean, and I got the update the day it came out :L that's funny cause the Caribbean is right below North America, well I used PC companion.
Can actually update via mobile. Since I have ripped through twenty GB shared data, will have to find wifi hotspot to update.
Just worried about all the major troubles this update has caused, that is why I am hesitant to update, and asking advice.
Thank you.

Updated mobile. WiFi software horrible; strong signal is now weak. Had uninstall updares for Google apps. And apps on microSD no longer show up on homescreen upon bootup.
And SONY no support is just that; rwcommend you download software from computer, not OTA. Bull****.
