[Q] LG Updater tool for LGP999DW?

I am just looking for a simple answer. I want to know if i try to do the manual update via computer, will i brick my phone? My model is the LGP999DW. It is an exchange T-Mobile sent me. I will be using an older windows xp PC to do the update. Is there anything special I need to do to make this work or when this fails anything i can do to fix?
thank you guys so much for your help!

This is all you have to do: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1183168
I did it on mine(also LGP999DWP) on my Win7 64bit and it worked with issues. Just follow the instructions and you should be fine. Make sure you have the drivers installed!
Good Luck! ;-)

Mine doesn't have the "p" at the end? Also is it better to just root n flash the rom?

I just did it using the tool, my phone (same model number) is fine. Took 30 min.

Oh? I have just rooted my lg p500 a few weeks ago with this method. Phone came preinstalled with froyo 2.2.1 old baseband (v10) and the gingerbreak method worked like a charm...
But sure, maybe they come in different configurations and the above no longer applies for you- good luck and I hope you root it soon

Ohh how my friend? Do u have LG p500???
And where i find unlockroot?
Help me plz

Yes I have a p500 with new baseband (2.3.3) I rooted by downloading unlockroot23 onto my PC (Google search) connecting phone to PC and running the unlock program, it's pretty easy. Open the unlock program and look it over before you connect your phone so you have an idea of what you'll be doing. Good luck!

Now you need to go to the play store and get "ROM manager" open it and install cwm ( clockwork mod) that will be your new recovery. From there you can make a back up and install new ROMs/kernels. You should also open super user and busy box to make sure they are installed and up to date.( they should have been installed when you rooted) good luck!

[Q] I can't root [One click .bat]

First of all: Sorry for my poor english. I'm from Argentina.
I was trying to root my phone with the one click .bat, but i can't.
I have the latest drivers. The ones that i used when i root this phone for the first time.
I tried to root it several times, but, i made a screenshoot at 3 of it to show what displays the cmd.
I have the debuggin activated, and i'm using the original cable.
I made a factory reset and see if helps, but it doesn't.
I don't know what to do. I'm desperate.

What build are you on 2.3.5 2.3.6 or ICS????
You see if you are on GB(2.3.5 or 2.3.6) oneclickroot.bat would work(assuming you were using this) but in case of ICS you should use Jim's ROOT.bat file..
Sent from my MB865 using xda premium

Err, i'm on ICS Leak. And i'm using the Jim's root method. The folder name is 'A2_ICS_root' right?
Btw, in another time, i rooted my phone with this. But now i can't.

I had the same error message. It was solved by uninstalling droidexplorer from my PC.

Try updating the adb...

I think this might be the problem because i have installed the droidexplorer.
But, i already root my phone in my other notebook, so the next time will be.

Help!!Recovery Partition is Bricked on my LG p999dw

Hi,
I have a LG P999dw from Wind mobile. It was running on stock Wind mobile ROM froyo and I wanted to upgrade to cyanogen mod so I used the one click rooter to root the device and then installed ROM manager from the app store.
Once in ROM manager I did the flash clockwork recoverymod and then the phone rebooted. After rebooting it was stuck in boot loop. So i booted to the recovery partition by pressing and holding vol down button while powering on. The screen said S/W Upgrade please wait while upgrading.
After doing some lookups on google I found one click recovery flasher using nvflash. I tried that several times to flash clockworkmod or even the stock recovery with no luck. Finally when I thought the phone is bricked I discovered this post http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1248644
I used this post and nvflashed the T Mobile stock rom GB 2.3.3 on the phone and it booted up just fine. Now it works excellent except the battery runs out a bit faster and whenever I try to boot to recovery partition it just gives the same message S/W Upgrade. I also tried this solution http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1590523 it ran successfully and wiped the phone but when I tried to boot into recovery still I got the same message.
So I relfashed the phone with the t mobile stock rom and I started working fine again but with no luck on installing CWM or stock recovery.
Please help!! I need to get this phone running the bionix rom that saves a ton of battery life. I am running it on another G2X and I get like 8 hours more battery juice from the phone.

Thank you for replying.
Tried the above repair. It gave the following error.
This version not supported v11h (image attached). Even though the phone shows software version v21e in the about phone section. Just wondering, his phone was originally wind mobile and running froyo so may be its original software version is written in some config file which has not been modified by the nvflash that I did.

You must have V21Y installed for the method I sent you to to work. You need to clean install a complete .kdz version of your choice by either using LG update or the offline update method.

I will try kdz method this weekend

Hi,
Sorry for the very late reply. This is what I tried, I download the lg tool to flash kdz files onto my g2x and also downloaded the kdz file for v21y. Everything went well, base band is good its now updated to march 2012. The phone works perfectly fine. The only problem is, when I boot to recovery the phone still says s/w upgrading. I tried NVFlash and onclick to load both stock or CWM. It loads everything successfully but when I try to boot to recovery, its the same old message.
I tried to root the phone using ADB (psneuter) but it does not support GB 2.3.5. And I want to install a custom rom to the phone. I was wondering if there is a way to fix the recovery partition somehow. Then I can load any rom I want.

Here, http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=24635755, do this and this should fix your partition problem, then, flash away.

No need for him to do that, I have included a utility in the resurrection guide that does that as final step.
