[Q] Optimus 3D (P920) - official ice cream sandwich update - LG Optimus 3D

Hi all,
Recently I've been trying to update my optimus 3D.
I've been using the LG mobile support tool, to try to update from 2.2 to 4.0, the update tool wants to update from 2.2 to 2.3 then to 4.0
I'm fine with this, and have tried to let it run! the update downloads, and unpackages but then when it tries to install, at about 5-10% the update
stops and states that the phone is disconnected-its not!
have any of you got any suggestions on what to do as I don't want to root until my contract is over then I'll properly mess with it. the support tool/update tool says that if the update stopped abruptly try the customer support to recovery- this looks like it will put a clean install, which im sorta okay with but im not sure if it will be 4.0 or not cause its kinda useless on 2.2... :/
any ideas?
thanks a lot !

LG updater unfortunately has been causing problems all around. I used it to update to GB and I had to try about 4 times before it worked. I have heard several stories about problems updating to ICS also.
If you do have problems, one way to fix it is do this:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=39269819
But if you don't want root, you will need to find an unrooted .bin and .fls and flash those instead of the files linked there. There is also a tool for flashing .kdz files around the forum someplace (driver install procedure for both tools should be about the same). Again, you will need an unrooted .kdz.
You can always unroot if needed, if you do want root. Honestly, unless you break hardware, the info you will find on xda allows you to a better job at servicing your phone than LG and others will do for you. I have read that some of these places will say they "can't" fix it, but really they won't/don't take the time to learn how.

[Q] Any Roms That Have Baseband For G2x

Hey ppl! I've been having issues with my baseband after I flashed to stock from Eaglesblood 2.5. This has been going on for 3 days and I haven't found a solution that works. I'm trying to think outside the box here to see if I can resurrect my phone. Are there any roms that I could flash that have the baseband? Since I can't flash over to the stock Gingerbread anymore cause of issues I'm having with the software and/or drivers, maybe I was thinking I could use some other rom that perhaps has the baseband I need.
According to GetRIL the baseband I need is this:
M6600A-SCAUNTZ-2.0.9720T [Jul 15 2011 10:00:00] MP:TRULGE_08.09.02R_MDM
If there are any roms out there that have this baseband, please let me know and post a link so I can download. Thanks in advance. Any help you guys can give me to ease my suffering a bit is greatly appreciated.

Easy answer is, no there isn't a rom or anyway to flash the baseband... you will need to update through the lg updater.
Sent from my LG-P999 using xda premium
The lg updater doesnt work at all. It stalls at 4% and does nothing. I've used the kdz flash but the pc won't recognize my phone anymore when I'm in S/W Update Mode. I've tried using smartflashtool and that doesn't work either cause the phone needs to be in S/W Update Mode. So that being said, what other option do I have?
Send it in to LG, it's sad to see another user going thru what i had to as both lg updater and kdz are such shyt programs even with the correct drivers they buggy as hell. I love my G2x but hate the crap software LG and nvidia put out to try and fix these softbricks/unknown baseband problems. I wish Paul o Brian would have followed thru with his comment about creating a smartflash tool for our P-999's similar to the one he created for the P-990.
Yeah, I was reading about that. Even if he did I don't think it would work.
I used this debug tool here made by slycog:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1248644&page=9
Paul gave up cause it would take him forever to get the smartflash for the baseband to work. First off, he would have to go and rewrite all the drivers so that they work properly. The guy in the thread above like me, had the drivers installed as you can see from one of the screen shots he posted. I tried 3 different sets of drivers all on my desktop and laptop. None of them work when I put my phone into S/W Update mode and connect the usb cable to the phone. As slycog discovered which I'm pretty sure he did but never said it that the driver for the modem just is buggy. Paul's first stop would be to rewrite this driver and get it to work properly. Then Paul would have to create the smartflash and actually get the smartflash to flash the CP bin file. The current smartflash for the P990 has issues flashing the CP bin file. It's alot of freaking work for a phone thats soon to be obsolete in a year or so. Makes no sense for someone like Paul to invest so much time into a project like this that the manufacturer (LG) should have done and foreseen. I'll tell you this much, this WILL be the last time I touch anything from LG period. I'll use my replacement for a month and then I'm off to Samsung. Hopefully by then the Galaxy Nexus will be on T-Mobile. If not, I'll get a GS2. In the meantime, I'll keep searching for solutions. I'm sure there is one out there or someone that can actually find a way to bypass the modem interface and use a different method of flashing per say thru APX that still seems to work for me. I wish nvflash was able to flash the baseband and I wish there were other roms that would have the baseband as I was informed none of the roms do.

so i have only one question is it official
you know i don't want to mess with my phone or put it a custom rom
i want it to be officially updated to ics
also every time i update it tells me emergency mode if you can please tell me how to disable it
If you don't install the rom, the v28B normal partitions .bin file is official ICS, only rooted with custom recovery. If you don't want that, instead install a .bin that is pure stock ICS. Or, there is a tutorial for installing a .kdz file using a different tool.
It all depends how you want to do it.

ok well i want it official
and one more question i have lg p920 so if i installed this rom will it erase the apps like 3d gallery 3d converter 3d space ??
The v28B ICS is official + root.Stock v28B ICS has all stock apps + a root app or two. If you look at the link to XBSA rom, it will list what apps are in there. I just wrote this installation guide, not the rom. VR3D has the 3D apps. I think XBSA 8 does also, but I don't remember. Either way, having root lets you install whatever you want.
If you do it, do it carefully. And if you have 10 posts you can ask me questions over there.
Please help
Hi,
I tried today to update my p920 thru PC to ICS.
After more than ten unsuccessful tries I wanted to try from the begining but with the phone factory reseted.
After reseted my phone, it displays "not enough space. clean ...."
In settings - applications - manage aplications does not show as usualy the mb used and mb free.
In settings - SD card&phone storage settings shows total and available space for internal and esternal SD but ...
"not available" for internal storage.
What can I do?
PLEASE HELP.
What did you do to cause that?
If you are following my tutorial you missed something. Read all details.
If you installed xbsall's v28B large, you need to erase internal memory.
But I don't know what you did. Please explain.

Nothing else than I said above.
- connected the phone to pc
- started LG mobile support tool
- When showed there is an update available I pressed the red button "start Update"
- Then try and try. disconnected the usb cable and battery as the LG Support Tool requested ... still same message:"problem in conection to your phone. Even if seconds ago recognized it.Didnt get further than 40% on analizing tab.
Then the same message: "there is a problem conectic to your phone..."
- then I thought to perform a factory reset.
Pressed the tab got me to the bootloader mode where I wiped the cache and dalvik and pressed factory reset.
Pressed the Reboot tab. The phone rebooted normaly but when I tryed to download fx explorer I got the message with no enough space ....
That is all.
Ok, it sounds like possible error in flash. You might try erasing internal memory. Or redoing with LG Mobile Support tool, but I have had trouble using it. Just going from between Froyo and GB was a real pain. It took about 3 tries to get it to work, following LG's instruction exactly.
You can try my tutorial, it should be linked some posts up. It uses LG Flash Tool, not the other one. Or there are other tutorials in the General section that use other tools.
I don't use LG Mobile Support tool.

Same here ...
About 3 tries to get from froyo to GB.
Would you be so kind to tell me exactly what tutorial of yours to try?
And also what soft I need to download for pc since the phone doesnt let me to install anything.
What you mean by "erasing internal memory" ... how can I do that?
Thank you.
First I'd try Mobile Update again to see if redoing it fixes it. Then I mean go into Android system settings/storage/internal memory/erase and see if it fixes it (back up your stuff to pc first, if you can).

Since your last answer I tried an tried with LG mobile support.
Nothing.
From more than 40 times, on 2 times passed 40% on Analyzing TAB and it said my phone has the last software.
LAYER.
The rest of times didnt pass 40%
I tried to erase internal memory but it didnt show the tab "erase" only 0, 00 mb available.
Your tutorial seems pretty hard to me so ... maybe there is somethin I can do from CWM where it takes me after pressing "factory reset"
THANK YOU for your time.
PLEASE HELP.

If you don't want to learn to flash and have CWM, you could install ics by doing 1, 2 (choose 1 option in part 2) and maybe 3 here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=39130435
I have NOT tried it that way and I don't know if it will fix your problem. Plus, if you can't use storage I don't know how you will access the .zip(s) in CWM, unless you can get to it in there somehow.
If you do ending up needing to flash, my tutorial is about as clear as you will get as far as LG Flash Tool.

LG p920 recovery boot loop help

i just stupidly tried to install a firmware over the air on my lg p920 without unrooting and removing clockwork so now when the phone reboots it only goes to clockwork recovery is there a way i can fix this because i cant take this phone back since ive had it over a year and i cant afford a new phone so i realy need to fix it
can anyone help me fix this i realy need this fixing asap due to not having a spare phone
Not sure if you needed to unroot, but something went wrong, whatever that was... It seems LG's updater is bricking phones all over the place. If you have access to recovery (sounds like you do) you can install the ICS .zip here
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=39130435
FYI I have not tried it this way myself, but it should be fine. Alternatively, you can flash ICS with LG Flash Tool, just take note of the part about custom bootloader, if you have it.

[Q] How to solve bootloop with official update.

I tried to update my LG 3D with the LG Official Tool. Was a 2.3 to 4.0 update. Everything seems to be ok, but my phone is not booting up, bootloop is the name for that i think. I repeat the process with no luck. Any ideas?
Use LG Flash tool instead. Updater seems to cause a lot of people problems.

Ok ill give it a shot. XBSA is a custum rom right? Where do i get the Official ICS rom?
The guide puts you to ICS, then you can install the custom ROM if you choose. It's all there. Let me know if you find any broken links; I have not checked in a while.

LG Optimus SOL completely, and irreparably bricked...

Hi guys, badly need some help.
I was trying to upgrade my SOL (various different ROMs, currently using stock GB) was updated to the stock Italian ICS using the kdz updater.
SInce I had just used the kdz on the same setup a few days back to flash the stock GB, I suppose there are no issues with the USB drivers on the PC.
Now, after the kdz process using the ICS ROM, the utility said that the update was succesfull. BUT, the phone re-started, but doesnt go beyond the LG logo.
Now when I try to reflash using the kdz, it reports that there was no phone found.
So is the SOL completely, and irreparably bricked? I hope not, am hoping some of the magicians on this forum casn get me out of this!
Best Regards,
