If it says you have LGP999DWP...do NOT go any further. If it tells you you have LGP999DW it should update
[T-Mobile LG G2x] jonyolea:
yes, it does say LGP999DW :/ .. nothing to do then, should I flash it?
[T-Mobile LG G2x] Z_German:
Ok your phone prob. wasnt referb, lucky you ;). You got the phone connected to pc and got lg prog running it should say in a big red bar start update. (usb debugging on!!
[T-Mobile LG G2x] aquaitious:
I'm in the same boat. I got an LGP999DW and I can't update either.

I don't know if it'll make any difference, but I'm going to try to restore the phone and see how it goes from there...
[T-Mobile LG G2x] jonyolea:
Let us know how was it!
[T-Mobile LG G2x] uzzi88:
I'm getting the following message: The Cell phone is the latest version already. So you don't need to update.

I have the LGP999DWP model, what should I do?

EDIT: Never mind. Just found it I have the refurbished version and it can't be updated yet.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] jsabas:
Mine was on that screen for about 10 mins. But is anyone else having problems re-rooting using gingerbreak on super one click? I'd like to freeze all that crappy bloat again.

Update for LGP999DW working

I was just able to use the update software from this thread to upgrade my phone LGP999DW. I did get a replacement but I guess it is not the refurbished version.

It did take a while to boot the first time sitting at the G2X with Google screen. No data loss either, phone came up with all software/settings and user data.

Lost root of course but that was expected.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] loveg2x:
Netflix not working. Anyone having the same issue?
[T-Mobile LG G2x] Z_German:
First boot after update takes approx.2 to 3 min you see the touch buttons light up just be patient. After the message completed update hit ok and disconnect device. At that point update is in internal eprom so you can take even the battery out gingebread is on it.

As quieter you become, the more you able to hear.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] neptunelyff:
I'm currently running GB 2.3.4 on my rooted G2x, I understand that updating it will breakfast the root, but is there a chance of it affecting the phone? Like bricking it? And is it worth it? Also, if I'm not satisfied will I be able to root my phone again?
[T-Mobile LG G2x] xboarder56:
try my rom first sense you have root and cwm and see if you like its the same update just with root http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1179748
[T-Mobile LG G2x] bluedart:
I'd say it's unlikely to brick it with this update. It's worth it 'cause it's fairly straight forward and you will gain the updated baseband which some are reporting gives them better battery life. I personally haven't seen much improvement in battery, but my wi-fi has very noticeably improved. You will however loose root and at this time Superoneclick does not work. However it's trivial to rectify by reinstalling/installing cmw through nvflash and flashing a pre-rooted rom based on the same update from xboarder56. Search around for recent posts talking about the same.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] SnipeySnake:
So nobody found a fix to that "Already Updated" thing? :(
[T-Mobile LG G2x] oregondave:
ok so i'm confused

I upgraded and I'm happy with the improvements but I was under the impression that this isn't the official update. This makes sense as there is no LG camera app. Please tell me we didn't get the exact same version that is coming out 'officially'?!

Also, can anyone confirm whether this version has full HD video capability as the Froyo did?

damn update

stock camera keeps force closing on me cpl days after i updated and now after a call the lockscreen wont come on for me to click i have to pull the battery 50% of the time....
[T-Mobile LG G2x] moshe22:
Potentially pointing toward a non-lg camera for the official update other than the one we got already.

Sent From My G2x Running CM7
[T-Mobile LG G2x] hockeymandan2828:
FYI - I bricked my phone doing the update.. watch out!

It stopped in the middle of the update, and claimed to lose connectivity to the phone. tried re-doing it like 10 times, and it either claimed that there was no connectivity, or that there was a fatal error and to contact LG. Then, the link that it gave me was broken.

Personally I think this phone is nothing better than a Frisbee based on all the stupid problems I've had with it. Looks like I'm getting my 4th warranty replacement tomorrow.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] princeasi:
Well I went on ahead and upgraded to GB through the LG update proggie. I did it on XP pro sp3. My phone had never been hacked or warranty exchanged. The update process went through flawlessly.

Everything's working fine so far.

Geah!
[T-Mobile LG G2x] erikiksaz:
I''m sorry, but people have to stop using the word "bricked" when it's not appropriate.

BRICKED = dead phone that won't turn on.

If you are getting any activity whatsoever from your phone, it is NOT bricked.

The point is that it makes things sound clearly more heinous than they really are.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] Z_German:
DWP= replacement new generation,DW= first gen. If you get a replacement with DW ending go ahead and use the posted LG support tool. DAP owners download it to and press the "check for update" button. They prob.won't do a ota do to risk factor aka lawsuit

As quieter you become, the more you able to hear.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] ROMUNU:
Is it possible to do it OTA?
[T-Mobile LG G2x] jboxer:
Can you update without being on T-Mobile?

Some people say the update checks your phone number. is this true? If you are not a T-Mobile customer can you still use the LG Updater tool?
[T-Mobile LG G2x] pettigrew95:
I guess I will just sit back and wait until a dev takes this release and converts it into a flashable zip with root.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] eagle1967:
thats the statement they made back in mid june. they have deleted that post and put it back several times. thats why the date posted says 19th. but its not current.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] awaisuk:
is there lg camera app or gingerbread app?
[T-Mobile LG G2x] richteralan:
stock gingerbread app
[T-Mobile LG G2x] BarryH_GEG:
Idiots. I'm happy for you guys, this was a long time coming.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] Pecata:
I am at work and cannot get the tool to work here. Tried checking for update through the phone and it says the software is up to date.... have you guys tried updating through the phone and see if it works?
[T-Mobile LG G2x] runderekrun:
That's a damn shame.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] grobillard:
Ladies and Gentlemen...it is GINGERBREAD!!!
[T-Mobile LG G2x] TeldenW:
I'm so bummed that I can't get the LG updater to load onto my work machine.

I'm very jealous
[T-Mobile LG G2x] OuncE718:
This does not make any sense. Why would LG do a step backwards and release Gingerbread with the stock camera app instead of there own (LG camera app)? Maybe this might not be an official release.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] c_brown93:
Someone make this a ROM rooted. So people can flash.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] awaisuk:
Is there keyboard lag? There was in the gingerbread leak.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] strung:
I get

The Cell phone is the latest version already. So you don't need to update.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] nyyankees3511:
Finally my phone is now updated!!!!!!
[T-Mobile LG G2x] JHaste:
holy freaking balls this **** is fast! i feel like the apps and screens are opening before i even touch the damn screen!

by the way, the keyboard has the bigger keys like the froyo keyboard but it has the gb skin...
[T-Mobile LG G2x] Beggars1923:

For those who need the tool.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] JHaste:
zero lag on the keyboard (splooges)
[T-Mobile LG G2x] zenstrom:
This is my guess... maybe I'm wrong, but we just had a guy posting about how he's an internal tester and this is the current version that they're currently testing. He didn't say it had been approved nor have there been any statements from LG that it was nearing completion.

I think someone in their IT department "accidentally" pushed an internal update to their live server, leaking it to the masses.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] gaww:
Lucky me - I found it first and posted it. But I am also the first to semi-brick my phone.

The updater program crashed while downloading and now I am stuck in the S/W Upgrade Please wait while upgrading screen. It never completed, so it is not doing anything.

I can get into recovery, and tried restoring, but it boots up into the above screen.

Tried fastboot erasing, but which adb shows the device - it will not work either.

Looking for suggestions.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] TeldenW:
Did you guys lose all your apps in the upgrade?
[T-Mobile LG G2x] Sk8trfred:
Looks like stock kernel? And baseband?
[T-Mobile LG G2x] OuncE718:
I don't think it was an accident. I think they leaked it on purpose to quiet our starving stomachs until the official release is available.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] matyou98:
Thats what i'm thinking too. I think it will be pulled once LG notices the leak. Glad a few got the download. Looking forward to some sweet GB roms based of this leak!.

well the first question is a2dp is working you know that will be asked and screen bleed
[T-Mobile LG G2x] OuncE718:
Screen bleed? Are you asking if screen bleed will be fixed with gingerbread?
[T-Mobile LG G2x] dligon:
not for myself i could careless but unfortunately for a few g2x owners with ocd they will ask and ask and ask did it get fix with it even though you can not explain to them it will not make a difference if they upgrade it to 2.3.9 or 2.7
[T-Mobile LG G2x] AriaNoob:
Hopefully the random overheating, data connection, screen of death and other issues are fixed! thats all we need :)
[T-Mobile LG G2x] OuncE718:
For those who do not know, screen bleed will never be fixed with software. It is only a hardware issue. On another note, I'm surprised that no one asked about battery life yet. Lmao.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] asmodyus:
Yeah Got mine updated 2.3.3 Yes Sir!!!
[T-Mobile LG G2x] danz8509:
a2dp works trying the netflix app now

Can someone post a nandroid backup please?
[T-Mobile LG G2x] pettigrew95:
Hopefully if this is all fixed in this update we can start to expect to see these fixes being implemented in the CM7 nightlies!!
[T-Mobile LG G2x] gaww:
Mine is not recognized by the loader unless I first mount USB. Then it starts the process again, and gets to a point where it asks for the SN and IMEI. Then to informs me that it has encountered a fatal exception and to contact LG Support.

I may have to that, but was hoping for a way to get around the updating screen and restore a nandroid.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] JsonV:
Mine says it's up to date but it's not :(
[T-Mobile LG G2x] OuncE718:
I doubt all these things will be fixed in this release since it doesn't appear to be the official gingerbread release (although it's officially downloadable from LG's server's) . I think LG is pulling a Samsung (Vibrant) move and just gonna leak out a few test builds to hold us over till the official release.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] liquidblue1985:
Updated to Gingerbread. Apps stayed, root lost. Gogo root kings!
[T-Mobile LG G2x] dligon:
yea i guess that class action suit scared LG (yeah right) in to releasing GB.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] dligon:
well look for a few new ROM's for the devs this weekend or sooner.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] Aaron636r:

Anyone who has what they consider a stable G2X.......I'm waiting for your input on this update.

I'm always leary of being a first adopter of updates but I'm especially afraid to apply this one to my stable (5th) unit LOL.

So everyone keep posting with your experiences.

Looks like: Alice's Adventures in Wonderland, Great Expectations and Pride and Prejudice.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] lannister80:
I am SO happy this is out...not because I want this ROM (I don't), but because we (hopefully, finally) have better hardware drivers for the ROM devs to work with.

CM7, you are about to become that much more AWESOME! :D
[T-Mobile LG G2x] Beggars1923:
Any effect on HDMI output? What about video, is it still HD? I don't see why an update would affect either of these, but before I run it I want to make sure there aren't any issues.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] gypsy214:
mine is updating... lets see what it is!!!! if its gb can i root with superoneclick or easy root for mac???
[T-Mobile LG G2x] RZJZA80:
Mine recognized automatically when USB was plugged in. I had the drivers but went ahead and installed them again through the tool anyway just in case.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] gpmartinson:
Awesome news. Too bad I'm on vacation with just my phone . I'll wait for a ROM version that's rooted...but we are on our way. Now someone needs to root these guys and then an image can be messed with.

haha yea I have a few 5000 quads with my G2x on trinity kernel. lol nic though.

Screen bleed won't be fix with the update, just exchange the phone, LG will sent you one without the screen bleed issue or as bad. Unfortunately it's the nature of the IPS screens, most devices that use a IPS screen will have that issue.

Im not that tech savy, but for those that are having a problem, go to

LG.com

Scroll over Support:

Click on Phone Support

Download LG Mobile Support Tool to PC

Once Downloaded it should install the USB Driver

Select Provider (T-Mobile)

Select Phone (LG-999DM, I think that is what came up)

Connect your phone via USB and Click Start Update

It should run on its own. Its still updating mine as Im typing.

Will update the progress as it goes along.

OK, update, lol... The screen Flashed a few times LG and went blank. Then rebooted with the normal Small Green Android and the T-Mobile G2x emblem.

When you get the box: LG Mobile Phone Software Update Completed at 00:07:39, just click Exit.

The LGMobile Support Tool will run again and it will tell you:

The Cell phone is the latest version already. So you don't need to update.

LG Screen will show

Country: United States

Model: LGP999DW

Version: V21E

Finished updating my G2x and Under Settings, About Phone, it is showing:

Android Version : 2.3.3

Kernel Version: 2.6.32.9

Also, for people with mild screen bleed, is it noticeable with the black status bar?

The camera app I believe wasn't detecting automatic brightness, so it defaulted to the setting which was 0%. At least that's what it seemed to me. I was able to uncheck automatic, move the slider half way, recheck automatic and when I launched the camera app it was fine.
