Hi, it appears that LG has released ICS for the P925G. Has anyone been able to update. How I found out is I did a phone recovery and at the end it asked to click on continue to update to ICS, unfortunately I keep hetting an error that it lost connection to the phone. Can anyone try and let me know if they were successfull ?

Then why is it giving me the option to upgrade ?
Probably the update script is changed in order to provide ICS upgrade (when available) but the server right now has no ICS in its repository (unless they use a secondary procedure which i highly doubt).

The things is it went all the way to the end preparing the installation and just when it is about to install it lost connection to the phone.
Anyway, Great Job on Porting ICS for all of us to use, I appreciate your time and talent and hope that will not let any inconsiderate ingrate make you give up on us all.
THANK YOU.
Thank you for your nice words.

Hi,
Have you updated the LG PC SUITE to the ICS VERSION?
The earlier version did not support ICS. Please try after updating the LG PC SUITE version. Maybe we have something here!!
All the best, we are all waiting with bated breath!

i tried installing the new pc suite and it said my device is not supported.. i tried with the update tool again and at the end of the process before it would download anything it said my phone is up to date.. so i guess no official ics update for p925g yet..

on my wife's phone, I use BB V20A which works well. I also tried V18A but preferred V20A. I am in Ottawa, Canada
@voybanm what did you start with n her phone? I tried it with 18a and it did not work fr me. If you got the time for a fellow o-towner could you put the path you took.
I was able to do the upgrade! But lost my imei everytime, but I'm coming from v21e n promethius

2. Activate USB debug mode
3. Enter 3845#*920# in dialer if that doesn’t work try 3845#*925#
4. Select Port Settings -> Select CP Image Download
5. A new device should appear at let it install
6. Open Tutty and select serial protocol. Click on open
7. Type AT if response is not OK, change port number (it is possible that when typing you don’t see any letters)
8. Type at%imei, it should display a dummy IMEI
9. Type at%imei=x,x,x,x,x,x,x,x,x,x,x,x,x,x,x where x,x,x... is your orginal IMEI number (found under the battery of your phone). It should response IMEI WRITE OK

Do you need root at all for the imei recovery or the ICS update directly from lg?
Hello everyone i sent a email to lg asking about the update this was the response i got yesterday:
"The original upgrade announcement was a general statement issued from headquarters. Each country was responsible for evaluating its product line to determine an upgrade schedule based on the individual market needs. As such, each smartphone is reviewed on a case-by-case, and country-by-country basis to plan and roll out OS upgrades.
Based on this evaluation and LG’s renewed focus on innovation, the Optimus LTE will receive the ICS upgrade in late summer. All LG smartphones released in 2012 come readily available with ICS OS, including the LG Optimus L7 and Optimus L5."
Well im kinda disappointed..
So according to them there are 196-200 countries in the whole world and only Korea offers the ICS upgrade.
Why not all the thrill/ O3D owners go on Lgs facebook, and spam them saying
"ICS FOR P920/5"
Already done plenty of times in the past..
Send from my NXE4+ P920.

So is it true the official OTA update to Gingerbread is here? Says connection failed"
So I hear the OTA update for Gingerbread for G2X is available. Well when I go into "about phone" and click the "software update check", it always searches on server and then eventually says "connection failed". I understand this is a know issue, but a lot of people are saying that they were able to update to gingerbread this way.
Right now I am running a stock G2X phone on Simple Mobile service. Does running on simple mobile have anything to do with it not updating OTA(over the air)? How can I update. I don't want to download a hacked up unofficial version of the Gingerbread. I want to do it the right way. Thank you.
Lg's software updater? From lg's website..
Sent from my LG-P999 using XDA Premium App
Don't use the LG tool, it bricks phones. Get to a spot with full bars and search for the update again. The connection is key.
no it doesnt, if u have a newer reliable computer you are good to go just follow the instructions rite the first time and everything will go smooth , the whole process takes 10 minutes tops, and if ur with simple i dont think u are getting an ota from tmobile lol

Can anyone else confirm that the ota update will not work because I'm using simple mobile? I was under the impression and was also told that simple mobil runs off T-Mobile. On the other hand, this is not the first time I've heard this, but I get a different answer everytime I call a T-Mobile store and ask. I'm also sure they don't like people that use simple mobile so of course. So can anyone confirm this with a decent explanation? Thank you.
And to the otherperson, wakeboarder, so I need full bars and it should work. Do you have simple mobile as well?
I think it sarni is right, if your not on the tmo network you won't get it via ota. Best bet is to use the lg update tool. That's how I did it and it was painless.

Can someone please walk me through the manual update process. I have an Apple Mac Mini which is 6-9month old and a Dell Windows XP which is old as hell but still works decent. And also a few questions:
1) is this update an official legit gingerbread update
2) If the phone does become bricked, will LG repair since it is their update
3) Step by step instructions please, I just got my phone back from LG and don't want to f it up.
Thanks guys.

The updater tool only works with windows. Also, it only works with phones that are not refurbed.
oh, that's right. :/
Well step one would be to get ride of that apple junk. There is a reason that it doesnt work on apple because apple the corp[eration is a bunch of Asses and they dont make there stuff compatable with anyone else they think they are the only company out there that does this stuff. So I say good for LG for beating them at there own game and making there tool not compatable with apples junk. It would probally brick you phone anyway because it is not an Iphone. Once you do that you will be alot better off and your life will be easir since PCs are compatable with almost everything.
Then go to LGs website go to the mobile section go to support got to tmo p999dw or at this point it might say G2x there should be instructions for it on the site but instasll the mobile support tool them Make sure you install the drivers and then it will be smothsailing seeing as how you will have a fresh new PC. And yes the other Dude is right it just makes sence even if the other company uses tmos network it they only rent from them they would not have any control of OTA stuff TMO would not give them the rights to that for free. There customers are not TMOs so TMO does not care about them. As far As I know the LG update and the OTA are identical that is what I am told I am wondering that myself. The only thing that might be different and I really dought it is someone said that the OTA has the full 1080p and the LG update only shoots 720p. I'm not sure if that is true I also dont know if it is Just 1080p or 720p for both I think that the stock GB camera app only shoots 720p but I really dont know. So there you have it.
I'm running G2X with gingerbread update on simple mobile as well and having issues with internet and MMS service. I'm using APN that I set up to work with Simple Mobile but it keeps switching back to the T-Mobile APN. And there is nothing I can do with that. So unless there is some kind of solution on that problem, do not update to Gingerbread.

Simple Mobile is an MVNO of T-Mobile, correct? The problem is that their sim card uses T-Mobile's MCC and MNC. At boot up the phone looks at that and then sets the APNs accordingly. Since the phone was built for TMO it thinks that is what it should be. Solution is to set it and not turn your phone off. You can also edit the "apns-conf" file in /system/etc and put in settings for Simple Mobile. I believe that file will take precedence over other settings. You need to be rooted. After changing the file for Simple Mobile's APN settings select reset to default. If you don't know how to structure the file give me Simple's info and I'll make the file for you. Then just back up the old one, install the new one and see if it works.
Reboot or not reboot, it is still switching to TMO apn. So as far as I understood I have to root the phone first, then edit "apns-conf" file?

After I rooted the phone, I went to APN settings and (YYYYYEEEAAAAHHHHH) WAS ABLE TO CHANGE T-MOBILE APN TO SIMPLE MOBILE!
You do exactly like simplemobile.com says BUT instead of creating new APN you just modify original one. Without rooting your phone it is impossible to do!

I also had this problem but after about 2 hours i managed to update my phone: here how i did the update:
Just connect to internet then immediately disconnect from internet within 1 or 1.5 seconds the program just needs to confirm that there is an established connection, i used this (my own) trick and I successfully updated my LO3D froyo to GB using kdz
Keep in mind that you need to connect to internet only for 1 second then DISCONNECT internet
Good luck

I was running GB rooted. No custom ROM just rooted.
I saw the update, so I wanted to start fresh. I reset the phone, installed the update (lost root, as expected), went to apply root with Megatron Root Exploit, and it would not allow me to obtain root. Kept getting an error about directory not found. Don't recall the exact error.
I am currently running the ICS update with no issues, but would like to be rooted as I am missing a few apps that require root.
Any ideas?
Thanks in advance

Sorry if this is a dumb question, but I am still a bit of a noob. I have only rooted once.
It appears form the link you posted that this is installing a custom rom. That is not what I am looking to do. Previously I was running GB, stock, just rooted to be able to freeze some apps and use a few apps that required root. That is all that I am looking to do at this point too.
ICS is loaded and running fine. Is there a way to get root back with out flashing and installing custom roms? or is this something that the hasn't been figured out yet?

so what rom you are on? ICS or GB?
if you are on ICS
than only follow the Root steps there http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2191698&highlight=baseband
How to root:
1. Download Su_Bbox_1.20.2_gazhead_signed.zip and save it somewhere in your SD card
2. Use OS_Hacking's tool to install Wkpark's v1.25a bootloader (read his instructions and install OMAP driver first). After this step, your boot-up LG logo will be silver!
3. With the same tool install a GB recovery. (ICS recoveries are only for xbsall's ported SU760 ROM, they can't read your internal SD)
4. Boot into recovery
5. Flash the zip from step (1) and reboot
Root?

I really appreciate that you have continued to be of help. Thankyou !

Could you try this?
I've done it a few times myself, with succes, and I think this is the way I've managed it.
*This asumes you've installed
Follow this on the official LG site: http://www.lg.com/uk/support-mobile/lg-LGP920 , and go to the tab "software update".
But instead of just updating your phone do this: Click on User/Support (above) then emergency mode, insert your IMEI and click on check
?
It didn't work i'm afraid. What's really odd is that the phone is on froyo 2.2.2 and the OTA update from the phone says there's no update available. Yet the lg update tool tells me an update is available yet after it has downloaded and about to 'install' it stops and says that the update cannot continue because a 'fatal error' has occured ?
Very odd. I'm guessing the orange bloatware is the problem. I HATE orange !
Edit. Ok, i just installed all the flashing tools to my pc (win 7) But when i open flash tool a window appears saying 'lg usb/parallel key is not detected. i'm also asked for a password and id ?

I downloaded everything but there was no crack included for the flashtool and no .dll file to enter into the flashtool ? it certainly looks incomplete so did not help at all.
Do i really have to keep entering an image verification everytime i need to reply on my own thread ? Seems so daft.
If it is rooted you can delete almost anything you want.

I don't quite follow ? I don't need to delete anything. I'm trying to flash the phone to an updated version of android. I have a UK orange branded p920 3D but it's on froyo 2.2.2 and won't update any further.

Funnily enough i tried your method first. The flashtool kept asking for an id and password so i could not continue. Where do i find the id and password ? that was with flashtool 1.1 running on win 7
Copy the indicated file over the original as instructed or use 1.2 if you want. You also have to run the installer before using it...It might be a good idea to run it in xp sp3 compatibility mode.
dll
The link for downloading the p920 .dll file is broken. Is it available anywhere else ?
Thanks for telling me, I'll repost it...
In the mean time you could try this. It's not my link, though

Thanks drastic00. I've downloaded the link :good:
not working
I've now tried all methods and nothing works. The furthest i have got so is to hit the yellow start button on the flash tool, but the port does not become ready. I have followed all instructions to the letter.
Recheck step 1 details carefully. Be sure antivirus and Defender are off when downloading and decompressing. It won't start until drivers are installed correctly.
You should see the devices in device manager with no 'blinking' of the omap device, and LG CDMA USB SERIAL, on which you change the port number to 41. Then you are ready to flash.
That part is fiddly.
well to keep it simple i cant access the official rom link may be country issue. so i found a 4shared link http://www.4shared.com/file/x-jB9Qd-/. so can i use this rom to keep the 3d feature and get 100% support for apps? using the upgrade method like this one. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1287236&highlight=ics?

make a backup from your phone and reflash it with lg flash tool. But you have to switch the port to 41 in the Modem Device under the device manager

Try flash by lg flash tool
if you lose you IMEI .....
Restoring IMEI
1.Connect phone by USB
2.Activate USB debug mode
3.Enter 3845#*920# in dialer if that doesn’t work try 3845#*925# or 3845#*720# if device is SU760
4.Select Port Settings -> Select CP USB
5.A new device should appear at let it install
6.Open Tutty and select serial protocol. Click on open
7.Type AT if response is not OK, change port number (it is possible that when typing you don’t see any letters)
8.Type at%imei, it should display a dummy IMEI
9.Type at%imei=x,x,x,x,x,x,x,x,x,x,x,x,x,x,x where x,x,x... is your orginal IMEI number (found under the battery of your phone). It should response IMEI WRITE OK
10. change Port Settings ->form CP USB TO AP USB
11. reboot your device

[edit] yeah i needed to tick usb debugging and connect it to pc then type the code.
Happiest Day of My Life!
I just followed the Update method, and succesfully upgraded to ICS without losing anything even the wallpaper didnt change. network fine wifi fine faster boot times and cool boot animation. still testing but slower! though i got used to that with Galaxy S duos. thanks for the rom Master. well i couldnt use the notification center in vertical mode and the ics didnt cured that. well am happy! i can now install every single app i want, yippy!:laugh::laugh::laugh::laugh::laugh:

soon, am sorry but am kinda busy. i will list every thing i did!
How did I DID IT!
well at first the lg mobile support tool couldnt recognize my phone, may be because i live in 'unknown' country. so i manually downloaded every driver known to be made for this phone and installed them. when i opened the tool again it recognized it and told me i have to update the drivers i did. so i had the latest drivers for the phone. i downloaded the 'offline installer download' link from the xda link i posted earlier and downloaded v30b from the link i got from MasterTobi. i ticked USB Debugging and connected to pc, then i started the vbs script it did all the modifications i needed then i followed the instruction then viola! android upgraded. i was shocked when the phone lit up on 90% but completed with no errors.

Hi all first i had GB 2.3 prometheus running but apps on my SU760 were not working well probably because prometheus is P920 port.
So i used LG smart flash tool and flashed froyo 2.2 V10 and then upgraded to 2.3.5 GB using LG support tool all is good until now.
Wait !!!!!
-------------
So now i try to upgrade to ICS using LG support tool my phone is detected by the tool but all of a sudden i get a pop up phone not connected properly, so i run LG support tool as SP3 and run as administrator, still no luck !!!
I then extracted V30b KDZ which is ICS 4.0.4 to bin and fls and used LG smart flash tool to flash directly with ICS but the download mode keeps on dropping out hence i cannot flash the SU760 all the wat to 100% with ICS.
I have now been trying to get ICS on my phone for last 48 hours but no luck.
My Question is:-
1) Is it really worth upgrading SU760 to ICS because i had ICS earlier this year and my phone started to crawl and really slow.
2)Is there a way to get ICS on my phone apart from LG support tool and LG smart flasher and offline flashing is not working for me.
3)Even if i do manage to get ICS then is the ICS rom 4.0.4 by xbsall http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1963847 ported from experia fast enough on SU760 ?
Thanks in advance,
Suhail

i searched the problem in google, but google doesnt found anything and in the G3 forum stands, that root is no problem with stock recovery and ich have stock recovery
You might have to unroot before doing the OTA update.

count me in the same boat :/
have the sprint version of the phone and woke up this morning to a prompt that there was an android update. with my brain not being awake yet i went ahead and told it to update, not thinking about root preventing the update. So went about my morning routine and came back and the phone was booted back up, but obviously the update didn't apply as i was still on ZV4, not ZV5. when checking for update it says there are no updates available.
can anyone help me/us out and post some steps for how to unroot and reapply the update? i'm good at following directions, just too new to this stuff to be able to figure it out on my own

anyone have any tips on forcing the OTA to download again?i've disabled SU, rebooted, and factory reset and it still says i'm up to date when checking for an update. or is there a way to download the OTA and update the phone some other way?
really want to check out this update and see the improvements, just can't get it to go after trying to update this morning while still rooted

I tested all the files and I have no message and signal works perfectly.
woke up this morning to the prompt that there was an update available again, not sure why it does it overnight but won't when i manually check for update..... anyway, i disabled SU, rebooted, then started the update and watched it this time and in the middle of the upgrade it came up with the android guy on his back and it said error. after a bit it restarted again and was back to where i started, no update.
so it looks like i need to unroot. would appreciate any help on how to unroot so i can apply the OTA, thanks!!!!!
Here with a sprint flex 2. First time I tried ota update I was rooted and it failed. A few days later the update notification showed up again, went ahead and unrooted, tried the update and still failed. I'm not sure root has anything to do with update failing now. Could be something else. So far I haven't read about anyone successfully completing update and reporting it.
I was getting the same error message about being rooted even after un rooting the device.
I installed the lg pc suite and upgraded to 10d that way and then re rooted using the method on this forum.
It looks like there may be a flag thats triggered once u root that doesnt get removed even if u unroot it.
ugh! i can't even get my phone to connect to pc suite to try and "fix" it so i can attempt the update
