i am using XBSA V5.2a and the base band is XMM6260.on LG P920. According to phone settings my model is SU760.
when i start lg mobile support tool it identifies my phone as P920 and version is V18A then it says that there is an update for my phone...
what do you think if i install this update?
Also LG PC Suite for ICS identifies my phone as SU760 and when i check for updates, it says that a new firmware is available.
should i install this update?

That update will downgrade you to the latest stock firmware in your country/provider.
Probably one of the V21 versions.

then i skip update via LG Mobile support tool.
but what if i install via LG PC Suite? this pc suite for ICS then it may update ported ics files for better performance?
I don't think so, official tools will take you to latest official software.
But you can try, if you want.

that is the point, i tust on this. because there are two pc suite, one is ver 4 for Froyo and GB and the other one is for ICS and JB.
I used ICS/JB version.

don't cause if it recognises your phone as su760 it will update you with the latest firmware for su760 and that my friend is another phone... so u end up with a brick.... my opinion at least...
You will brick your phone, ported ICS have different partition.

I had the same, and posted too. xbsall had replied that even if it is bricked, it can be resurrected using the resurrection guide

no one said that it cannot be unbricked... we just said that it is 100% sure that it will get bricked. Sure he can unbrick it afterwards but why go in the trouble in the first place?
probability of bricking my phone is very high, but i just want to try to be sure, i only lost a few hours...
i am planning to do it at weekend...

Right now YOU CAN'T ROOT the updated Gingerbread from LG but i'm a sneaky FOX ..... what i did i used NVFlash (google it) than i did the manuall recovery of my froyo than root it again and than used the updated gingerbread.zip file over xda forums... and fualah!!! rooted gingerbread from the updated lg update..... sweet!!!! now if they can somehow bring back the lg camera :/
They have had it rooted for a few hours. Just flash the rooted official gb rom and reboot. It's pure stock just rooted.

The zip file provided to flash through CWM is the new leak but the old baseband. The ONLY way to get the new baseband is to flash the leak using the LG Update Tool.
that's funny cause the baseband is different from the froyo and i had the lg updated GB.... it has the same baseband as the one i have know.... it still has the date on it (jul 15)

Right...at one point, you updated to GB using the LG updater right? That's why you have the updated baseband. So even after you nvflashed recovery and flashed the rooted GB rom, you kept the updated baseband.
However, if someone that did NOT update with the LG updater flashed that same rooted rom, the phone would have the old baseband.
So those of us that got the newer batch of g2x's (P999DWP) CANNOT get the new baseband by any purpose other than waiting for someone to strip it out and release it as a separate flashable file for us. Then again, prayer might work too. Unless, of course, LG adds the DWP's to the list of elible phones. But it would probably make no sense for them to do that since this was supposed to be a test-build update for a limited selection of testers that had the original P999DW models.

I saw that but i don't want to flash the whole ROM just for Root. My phone is working perfect the way I got it right now and just need root to debloat this thing and restore with titanium.
I would flash it over this one if at least three people confirm that gps is instant lock like the update.
When I say instant lock I mean it lol, Even inside our house.

Mine was not written anywhere on the box or the phone itself. In fact, ON the inside of my phone, underneath the battery, it says P999DW. It wasn't until I already reverted to stock, unrooted, restored stock recovery, and ran the LG software updater, that I discovered it read my phone as P999DWP.
With that being said, I had my doubts that I would be able to update anyway, because I know my phone is a newer build than many. My first g2x had a serial number starting with 104, and I know most people here have numbers starting with either 104 or 105...but my new replacement g2x that got here 2 days ago has a serial number starting with 106.
Well, I have confidence in the devs here...and I'm certain good things will come to light soon enough.
Now all we need is that sweet lg camera apk back and more fixes and we are good to go! someone try to get back the lg stock camera!!

Great news i'm also waiting on the lg camera app rather than the stock Gb one.... also the devs already started developing cooked roms i have one from eVil... two reasons why 1. the keyboard doesn't lag like the v21e orignal version and 2. i have a 32gb microsd card and i wanna save my apps on MY SD CARD not the "internal Built SD card"
Hello.
I own that LG phone and i would like to update it to new official gingerbread or unofficial (kdz files).
But there is no update yet available in my country over LGMobile Update software and i doubt that my phone provider will get GB update cause i am still on v10d jul-8 version and they love to limit firmware changes ...
And I am also wondering why my phone doesn't have OTA update support in Settings->About..?
And final question is: will usb jig for samsung remove binary firmware counter?
Thank you all!
First, Optimus 3d hasnt firmware counter, second, update by kdz is like official becouse it's official firmware not custom.

Well, if something goes wrong, you could always wipe and start from scratch provided it still boots to CWM.
If it doesn't boot even to CWM, you could try the Recovery Flash method which will format and install a stock ROM.
If it doesn't even enter to recovery mode... well, odds are the guy in the sweatshop repairing LG phones will just throw the motherboard to the bin and put a new one without checking if you rooted it or not.

Has anyone tried to flash back to their old froyo rom then update to the new gb version? Itried but no go it says that I have the lates version it. It must be picking up on something deep in the hardware maybe because of the baseband anyone got any ideas ?
You cannot do it as the tool checks the baseband to see what update to give you. If you have the new baseband no update for you via the updater.
Dunno. The updater on the PC told me it could update my phone when I checked with Tsugi installed. Was afraid to actually let it run though as i did not want to risk creating a brick.

As stated, does not matter which rom you have, it looks at the baseband. If you already have the July baseband it will not resend the update. You can not change the baseband by flashing a rom.

Odd. I have July baseband, and it scanned the phone and said that it had a newer version to install, when I stopped it because I did not want a brick. I am not saying that they are actually pushing a newer version... I'm saying maybe the update tool itself has changed and/or is willing to update the Rom based on different criteria - perhaps since it does not recognize the L95G firmware which is what I'm using, for example?

Custom roms for the G2X don't touch the baseband, so even if thats true its a moot point.

The actual L95G device, which has never been released, does have a different baseband. But P999 roms based on the L95G rom have whatever baseband that was on the phone when the rom was flashed. Either March or July baseband.

All mentioned ROMs support v20 only, so you have to switch to newer baseband. I've heard LGMDP is the best tool for this purpose.

Need tool to access my phone via PC
I have accidentally installed a theme that is probably of higher resolution than my phone screen. Now in locked mode the unlocking option/pattern/graphics is not visible as it is 'spilling out of screen'. Android debugging is on in my device (thankfully). Please suggest me a tool/method using which i can control the phone using PC(or atleast unlock the phone). I (obviously) cannot install anything on my phone, i found some such apps that need installation on phone.
Last option is to flash my phone in recovery with a ROM, but i dont want to do that if other ways possible. my phone is on MIUI ROM developed on 26/9/12
OK! so i have cm 10 installed but before i installed it i backed up the GB. now i would like to go back to GB so i can use the lg update tool to go to the official ICS. the other issue i dont have a usb cable that works to use lg flash tool. so if someone could help me out! Pm me or comment below

It'll be a different baseband. I don't know why it wouldn't work. You said you have a backup, just try it out. Maybe you can confirm if it works for other Rogers users.

There aren't any flashable roms made from the new stock ICS, so I don't think you'll be able to simply find another baseband and still use the rom. I think you'll have to wait a few more days for that, someone will release a flashable rom.

They likely will. EU was supposed to get the ICS update on the Optimus 3D. The Thrill 4G wasn't even listed for an update, yet it got it first.
As for getting rid of bloatware, I got rid of mine with Titanium Backup Pro. I removed all the AT&T junk, along with the 3D games, Kindle, and Yellow Page without an issue.
