Could someone please give info on the stock camera app. Will it still do full HD video recording?
[T-Mobile LG G2x] jspeed04:
Having the same issue.

Not root for me, so no boot loader or recovery rom for me to flash back to.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] bballcat03:
I haven't read through all 36 pages, but I just got off the phone with TMO and they said it's the official release...OTA...but it's a staggered release, so not everyone is getting it at once. He told me it very well could be up to two weeks before it get's to my phone for all we know. They have no way of controlling it.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] MrNobodyWTB:
Attempting to upgrade a G2x that I've never rooted (just been waiting for GB... haha) and I did a factory reset.

Stuck at Checking cell phone # 55% 25:30 and counting.

Irritated that I factory reset, but meh, should have just waited for ota.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] skye206:
Okay so am confused is it the official update or what cause I read that this is the test version and the official ota isn't finished yet
[T-Mobile LG G2x] jonathan3579:
I can say from peaking through the settings is that it certainly doesn't tell you what it's recording in. :(
[T-Mobile LG G2x] MrNobodyWTB:
Well at 1:04:53 it finally decided to jump to the download part. Let's see what happens :D
[T-Mobile LG G2x] crazythunder:
just did a sample recording. 1920x1088
[T-Mobile LG G2x] BobbyDukes707:
Has anyone got one OTA at all? Everything I read saws you need to do it through the USB... if it's the "official" update I will be surprised and a little angry...
[T-Mobile LG G2x] crazythunder:
after much struggling with my win7 64 bit install trying to update to gb, i finally installed xp on a partition i had. i installed lg usb driver. installed lg update tool. no luck. ran kdx.......success. so, everyone having issues, it's definitely not a good idea doing this on a 64 bit install of win7.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] princeasi:
OK thanks for verifying this.

Geah!
[T-Mobile LG G2x] aowendoff:
This is the issue I had. Ended up having to use a 32bit machine i have.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] bballcat03:
The TMO rep told me this is official OTA of gingerbread 2.3.3 and it is a staggered release, so that's why you may not see it on your device itself for an update.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] shahp:
There's so little chance that's actually true. This was released with no fanfare, no mention of it. And as I was writing this, I decided to check Tmo's Twitter: "@fsp We recommend that customers wait for an official update."
[T-Mobile LG G2x] bballcat03:
Correct!

I just got off the phone with tech support...this release is NOT the official release. She dug and dug and dug and this was only suposed to be released to TMO employees to see if it resolved the issues that's facing the G2X.

So, again...this is NOT the official release of 2.3.3 and that is why you can't get it OTA.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] PhishShticks:
guys, i'm stuck on the s/w upgrade screen, phone loses communication with tool, and i'm unable to boot into recovery, flash clockwork mod, or stock recovery via oneclick, any suggestions?
[T-Mobile LG G2x] ppctester:
that's funny... because I just did it to my stock/unrooted phone in under 10min on my win7 x64 desktop

didn't have to do anything special either

enable debugging on phone

run the updater app

install drivers

plug phone to PC [takes about 10sec for the updater to connect]

updater app detected model and version

click "start update"

done
[T-Mobile LG G2x] PhishShticks:
Can't proceed any further. Phone is a paperweight stuck on S/W Upgrade screen.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] shahp:
i wonder if cm7 or any other mod will pilfer parts of this release to update theirs
[T-Mobile LG G2x] aowendoff:
If you click restart, does it do anything?
[T-Mobile LG G2x] PhishShticks:
nope, goes back through the analyze phase and results in the same message...

phone is still under warranty, what do i have to say/do to get a replacement?
[T-Mobile LG G2x] Suprah:
Not flashing the new leaked gb update til cm7 or faux makes a good rom out of it. Might be able to use ad2p fix on 2.3.4 aosp roms
[T-Mobile LG G2x] debussy:
Ok - so here's my interesting experiences (in progress): My wife and I both have G2Xs that we bought on day one. Neither of us have had any hardware issues with our phones—just the occasional software glitch, and random restarts (mostly on mine, which turned out to be a particular app's fault).

I ran the updater on my Mac via VMWare pretty much without hitch (it lost the connection 1 time and I had to unplug and replug the phone and then hit restart). Updated like a champ in about 10-12 minutes (and that is including installing the drivers, etc.).

My wife's phone (which I decided to do as well since mine went without a hitch) I have been trying to update now for about 2 hours. It is running into all of the USB connectivity issues that others are reporting... I have restarted the process several times, tried different USB cables, swapped batteries (hey, you never know), removed the SD card, removed power and let it cool off (it's getting pretty warm)... never gets past 30% "Checking connection with the cell phone" except for one time when it crapped out at about 50-60%... I'll keep hammering at it, maybe try restarting the "PC"... I'll post if it eventually works, or I figure out some trick.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] RZJZA80:
So I tried t update from my home PC, and it actually started to update, got as far as communicating with the phone environment, then said it couldn't communicate. I restarted a few time then restarted the updater, now it says I'm up to date already, AGAIN....

I can only assume it's the version of Windows? Running Ultimate 7 64bit at home, and Professional at work

edit: the only time it started to work i didn't have XDA forums open lol
[T-Mobile LG G2x] stupidisasstupiddoes:
I updated from the LG site using my pc and it all took less than 5 minutes...Now it won't root using Super One Click....Ill wait a day or 2...

If you have issues with updating due to frozen @ 4% and have access to a computer with windows xp follow the directions in this link, I'm a complete noob and it worked for me.

I reverted the phone back to stock and tried to run the updater, but it says my software is up to date. It still shows version v10f on my phone. It also shows that there is an update available for this phone model. I have a refurb phone and for some reason it shows a p at the end of the model number. Is this keeping me from updating my phone?
[T-Mobile LG G2x] jcerda:
So has right now . I own a paper weight. I'm stuck on the S/W screen I was at %5 at one time.Right now I'm getting the same Problem with Communication screen that everyone else seems to have been getting and the other method of solving the problem with using x/p sucks cuz I don't have a clean machine to install X.P on good time it's my wife's phone and not mine. lol

[T-Mobile LG G2x] eagle1967:
yes gingerbread 2.3.3

and while it says you will lose all your data it did not lose anything.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] penninajx:
OTA or through the tool?
[T-Mobile LG G2x] pettigrew95:
So obviously you will lose root and if you're running a custom ROM this won't even install I'm assuming?
[T-Mobile LG G2x] AriaNoob:
Lmao...that cracked me up! Lol
[T-Mobile LG G2x] grobillard:

[T-Mobile LG G2x] gaww:
It looks like form other who have gotten passed this point that you have to flash stock recovery.

I crashed at 4% on original try with the GD LG Updater. Got to 5% of the actual install trying the flashing tool that has worked for some, and it crashed again.

I think if I had stock recovery, it might have worked OK.

Trying again but the damn LG USB drivers and connection is now major issue.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] mmapcpro:
Yes, unroot with superoneclick, then flash stock recovery before running the LG updater software. You are going to lose root ANYWAY from updated...so there's really no reason to try to keep it on your phone.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] debussy:
Updating from VMWare on a Mac and getting past the frozen update screen

So, after a kajillion hours (it felt like it, anyway), I finally got my wife's phone updated. I did what others here have suggested which was the follow the instructions in this post:

http://xdaforums.com/show....php?t=1179750

Basically (and you can find the links to the software on that forum post), here's what got it working:

download the KDZ_FW_UPD_EN app

install the msxml package that comes with it (requires reboot)

download the V21E_00.kdz file

run kdz-- selections: CDMA, DIAG

select the V21E_00.kdz in KDZ and run

*IMPORTANT* It took me a couple of hours worth of trying before I discovered this—which allowed it to work in my environment. So, when plugging in a USB device while running Fusion you are presented with a dialog asking whether to connect the device to the Mac or PC, check the box to make connecting to the PC the default action and not present the dialog again. It seems that in the process the phone would disconnect and reconnect very quickly several times, but having the delay of the pop-up was disconnecting it long enough to interrupt the process. I suspect that doing this in the first place may have prevented this whole situation altogether, but that's just a guess.

let the thing run... it will start putting up error messages for several minutes

that's it, the phone should then reboot into Gingerbread. In my case all settings/data was intact, but I think some people have reported getting reset (a reset is better than a brick, at least).

Anyway, I'm up and running, and I hope that this info helps someone else out there. I'm pretty disappointed with the flakiness of the official software here.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] solanix:
I successfully updated my phone yesterday. However, I have to say that I still think that the CM 7 Nightly full-84 was better than this update. GPS works better with the LG Update but I was reading about some mods to the gps.conf which would assist in timely locks as opposed to the default > 1min lock times.

The update to me just seems a little slow and not as polished. Everything from the pattern unlock to the general functionality of the app draw seems slower than CM 7.

Keep in mind that to successfully perform this action you need to do the following:

1. Restore the Stock Rom

2. Restore the Stock Recovery

3. Un-Root the phone

4. Perform the flash.

if you have problems, search for NVFlash. It solved my issues when I had a bad recovery flash from Rom Manager. I was not able to even get my phone out of the SW Upgrade and NVFlash allowed me to get the phone back to operational status.

In short, the update is up to you. I personally will probably go back to my CM 7.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] jblah:
I did not go to the "official" 2.3.3 because i figured i would have to reroot the phone again via superoneclick do the nvflash to install clockworkmod, install cyanogenmod and all that. Basically everything I undo, i'll have to redo. I'm sure CM7 will sooner than later get the drivers needed from the 2.3.3 release and incorporate it and then we'll have all the best stuff and then some. Plus since CM7 is always fixing up their issues, we do not have to wait for LG .
[T-Mobile LG G2x] solanix:
Exactly. I am in total agreement.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] bobdelt:
I unrooted and installed the update. Complete waste of time. It's crap - it was still slow and buggy. Apps crashing every 10 seconds.

Back to cynogen mod, plus the lock screen and status and other enhancements are worth it.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] matyou98:
I will clarify that I had clockwork recovery nvflashed and did not revert to the stock recovery before updating. I went back to stock and ran the lg updater. Went without a hitch for me. Done in less than 15 min.

I then re flashed clockwork and flashed xboarders rooted version on top of the unrooted stock GB to gain root. GB is now rooted and is using the updated baseband.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] richteralan:
Did you do a factory reset?
[T-Mobile LG G2x] krekabl:
I heard it's not recommended to get LG update with rooted phone... possible bricks
[T-Mobile LG G2x] richteralan:
wow all these claims just went out of control.

I updated my phone with LG update tool one a Windows 7 64-bit laptop, and my phone is rooted.

And......wait for it.....

I had 0 problems and my phone works perfectly after the update!!!
[T-Mobile LG G2x] alodar1:
This is not 100% true.

Stock ROM: Yes

Rooted: OK

Stock Recovery: Required

OS Required for Updater: Mac, W7, XP, 32/64 OK

We've discussed this for weeks on the forum. All the so called experts have agreed, the Primary requirements are: Stock Recovery, Stock Rom. Root/UnRoot is not a factor.

Restoring Stock Rom and Stock Recovery have some very nice threads. Its very simple and easy to do. NvFlash for the recovery. And I believe Gunman provided a Stock Rom with very clear instructions.

Not saying this is the cause of any problems. But I am saying, we should be in this position before we try.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] darushin:
Actually this is false too. I just flashed the update over the Ultimate G2x Rom with Faux Stock Kernel .04. It wiped out the mods from Ultimate (buttons, custom widgets etc) but it installed just fine. It also left all my downloaded apps installed too. It seems that what might be needed is the following:

1) Official Froyo ROM or a ROM based of the Official ROM (Ultimate, Eagles Blood etc)

2) Your software version reads 10f

I can't guarantee all Froyo based ROMs will work but I can verify 100% that Ultimate G2x will work just fine with out restoring to Stock
[T-Mobile LG G2x] loveg2x:
How do I get the root access back after that GB update!???
[T-Mobile LG G2x] darushin:
You will most likely need to restore Clockwork Mod and then someone posted a root version 21 ROM in Dev section. Download it and Flash the ROM. I wouldn't flash any other roms as I read from one of the threads the new baseband might not sit well with all the Custom Roms. Though I haven't tried this, I just completed the upgrade myself.

Daru
[T-Mobile LG G2x] sstang2006:
could you post a nandroid back up with the new baseband and rooted? sry I'm just been lazy :D
[T-Mobile LG G2x] lattera:
I flashed even while having CWM recovery and everything's working perfectly. No bugs.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] solanix:
In response to matyou98's post above (#391), I decided to take a look.

After updating to v21e,

I re-flashed the clockwork recovery

booted into recovery

installed the Xboarder's Stock Tweaked GB from http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1158513

rebooted, and what do you know, I have it rooted as well and there are some tweaks to boot. I like it.

Thanks

I updated mine on a toshiba laptop which was a 64bit windows 7 system. It wasn't my laptop so I downloaded and installed the usb drivers from the lg website along with the update tool. Not sure if the drivers had anything to do with it but mine went off without a hitch.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] k00zk0:
This update is not released. I just called LG tech support and they said it is not out yet EDIT: Two reps claim the update is not out yet. The updater also claims my phone is up to date.

Actually I had to pick T-Mobile in the updater to get my phone model to show. I am with Wind in Canada and the support rep said to download the software from the CA website, which I did. Which first of all does not list the phone in its model list at all, but does when you go to the graphic titled update. Same app downloads there and claims no update from V11H
[T-Mobile LG G2x] Jay2487:
That's funny LG told me it was the "one we've been waiting for" and TMO said it isn't. Others have said tmo reps said it is the one. No one knows what they are talking about.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] Spyvie:
How could anyone think this is the final update? If it is then LG has just given up, said screw all the G2x customers and moved on... I'm not ready to believe that just yet
[T-Mobile LG G2x] Jay2487:
TMO said in that article by JR something about it rolling out in two parts.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] RZJZA80:
OK I got my replacement phone in today. Plugged it up and it updated right away without a single problem, all the way to completion. My previous phone is DWP and the new one I got today (refurb? no glass plastic on new phone) is DW. Same laptop, same installation of updater. I tried updating my old phone again and still nothing.

So this should do away with the Windows version theories as I'm running Windows 7 Ultimate 64bit.

BTW so far I'm liking the update, seems much more responsive. I'll play more with it later tonight.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] deltawye:
Just went to tmobile, to get my replacement phone... The reps that had a g2x where running the update and said it was official, just tmobile isn't pushing it yet.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] Happymanx0:
Ok this is official from lg cause the app you can download from their site says before you download it, to go through the list they have and see if the update is available for your device and g2x is listed.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] gaww:
I have one coming by Monday. Mine is bricked - LG drivers no longer fully connect the phone, otherwise the flash toll may have fixed it.

There is NO WAY I will let the LG updater near this. If I flash it at all, it will be the flashable ROM from the forum. I hope the drivers help the Dev (is there a new baseband or not?).

TM0 is actively testing it (the rep who set up my replacement has it on her G2x), as they do not want their name on a debacle like LG and its apparently infamous Updater.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] bls2633:
I dont think they are going to be able to do that with the class action law suit they have against them for not getting the updates out to us in a timely matter. I read about it yesterday over at Android Police I think.

can someone please tell us all what changes were made for the new update?

[T-Mobile LG G2x] Martyrsaregay:
Apparently, I have neither a DW or DWP model; I have a DWDU model, and it isn't supported by the updating tool. Does anyone else have this model? What are the differences between the models? It really frustrating not being able to update it! And I really don't want to install CM7, I prefer the vanilla experience. Is there a way of updating the G2X without using the pc update tool?

[T-Mobile LG G2x] jroyalty7:
Flash the rooted rom by xmodboarder(not sure if that's actual name) you'll see it in the g2x rom section... that's the only way right now.. PS you need cwm recovery first

[T-Mobile LG G2x] Irishdoom:
I was on a stock G2X, never rooted or rom'd in any way. I went ahead and did the update to hopefully alleviate the freeze/reboot issues. I've also been a bit frustrated by "hangs" and slow responsiveness, which I thought I wouldn't get with a dual core phone.

So far, the update has made my phone noticeably faster and more responsive. I got a GPS lock within a couple seconds as well. We'll have to see how the battery holds up. The camera is a bit of a letdown, but I can live with that till we get the "official" version.
