In Denmark to:

http://www.elgiganten.dk/product/mo...GP990WHITE/lg-optimus-2x-p990-smartphone-hvid

With 2.3.. So maybe they actually are done with GB and have moved on from this phone.

Actually understandable from their side of view. LG Optimus 2X is getting its ass kicked from both the Sensation and Galaxy S2 in terms of popularity. If LG still wants to sell this phone, they need to do something drastic with its software - To make it more of competitor to SGS2 and Sensation.

Or, it needs a price drop equal to the price of Optimus Black. But then black is a misplaced product.

So stepping away from the LG Optimus 2X, and focusing on something that may give LG an edge on the competitors again, is again, understandable from their side of view. At least with the release of GB they should make all open source and give warranty to even a bricked phone - And with that i mean, that LG should give warranty eventhough the users install custom Roms on it.

Thats the only way i see that LG may save some creditbility...

Sorry for the bad English. :o

[LG Optimus 2x] grognaz:
hmm verry interresting that they release an other batch of o2x, wouldnt that bind them to bring ics to it?

not sure if i remember that right but hasnt google made some effort to make companies update their devices faster and for a longer time?

edit: here a link to what i mean.. new update policy

found this also. Maybe we do get ics.
[LG Optimus 2x] antec123:
so regarding this update policy, then o2x users will get ICS right??
[LG Optimus 2x] djmcnz:
Megapixels are almost irrelevant (beyond about 3.2) for an image sensor as tiny as the one in a phone is.

Even on medium format cameras it's often better to go for a lower MP count.

Take for example the Canon S90 which was 10 MP when it was released and took waaaaaay better photos than most 16 MP cameras.

The more pixels the less light each pixel gets when the image sensor size is fixed.
[LG Optimus 2x] grognaz:
at least that is what i inderstand, unless its device specific or something freakish like that...

I have installed CWM and have rooted my phone with superoneclick so how can I make it become stock again so that I can update to official Gingerbread.

Thanks! (I know the stock ROM would be no better than other ROMs out there but for learning's sake!)

Well, finally they update the Optimus 2x. Looks like I will be smartflashing to v10D soon.
[LG Optimus 2x] Fulwood Sedge:
this is amazing!!! but i will truely belive it when i see it tomorrow!

As i am running CM 7.1 how should i go about getting the upgrade? shall i restore my backup of my original ROM i did before i flashed CM? and then unroot the phone and then upgrade the phone? will this work currently?

many thanks

Sedge
[LG Optimus 2x] Soulj4h:
If you have a backup, then yes restore the backup, otherwise you will have to smartflash. I will be doing a smartflash most probably.
[LG Optimus 2x] Rusty!:
Pretty sure it wont be an upgrade from CM7.1

Horrible, horrible downgrade more like ;)
[LG Optimus 2x] TrymHansen:
Me too, will be smartflashing back to 10D as soon as I see the update in the LGMobile Update Tool. Which brings me to:...

Can anybody share a surefire way to root stock GB on 2x? Could never get Superoneclick to work on GB myself.
[LG Optimus 2x] rmein:
It will still be based on the same linux kernel version 2.6.32, but just because that number is the same does not mean there will have been no changes to the kernel build.

Look at all the different custom kernels available here that are all 2.6.32 based.
[LG Optimus 2x] Fulwood Sedge:
Yeah im guessing it wont be more feature full but i might as well give LG another go seeing as though they have been slaving away on it for 8 months - ill give them a chance to prove their worth...

Anyway im currently having basband issues with CM 7.1 so i was going to have to reflash CM7.1 and baseband anyway so i might as well just try LGs attempt at gingerbread.
[LG Optimus 2x] -sandro-:
"We know what kernel version the GB release will have, it will be the same as the one on Froyo

because the HW version of Tegra 2 used on the O2X doesn't support kernel updates

Samsung galaxy R has 2.6.37 kernel
[LG Optimus 2x] Rusty!:
It supports kernel updates just fine. There are tablets with the same SOC using 2.6.36, and the Galaxy R uses a newer version too. LG just haven't made use of the sources. Not that there is a great deal to gain by doing so, though.
[LG Optimus 2x] -sandro-:
Then what the hell is this? :S

EDIT: ok but one thing is not making a use of it another thing is justifying this "lack" by saying that it doesn't support it like it's not their fault/choice
[LG Optimus 2x] arkara:
I don't care about the kernel it's just a number. It does not provide any new features. What i want is a snappy phone. And my optimus is not snappy right now.
[LG Optimus 2x] -sandro-:
Well the Samsung galaxy R is snappy but I don' think it has to do with the new kernel but with being developed by Samsung :), doesn't the kernel provide better performance with hardware optimization?

[LG Optimus 2x] lotfis:
Still not available with update tool
[LG Optimus 2x] Flix123:
They say tomorrow not today.
[LG Optimus 2x] arkara:
Not necessary. It's quite hard to know actually, since a kernel is a quite complex piece of software. U can't really be sure. Also newer kernels are compiled with newer GNU toolchains that has variable machine code performance. Overall you can never be sure about the kernel performance.

Also the Davlik engine changes performance with each update, just to add to uncertainty.
[LG Optimus 2x] Rusty!:
Does your calendar say 1st November then?
[LG Optimus 2x] oleg1981:
so there will be no upgrades in performance? only the nicer look? that meance that ics will be based on froyo to? LOL
[LG Optimus 2x] lotfis:
LoL
[LG Optimus 2x] S0ci0:
Just read the topic (at least this page and previous page). It's clearly stated that a kernel update does not equal an performance boost. Offcourse it will be a bit faster (it's GB ffs).

OT: No update rolling out in the Netherlands yet, but will be checking all night for it.

John, I don't know who said ICS won't be available on one of our phones since we haven't even completed our testing phase to determine compatibilty. Remember that ICS only came out this month and we haven't made any announcements yet. We will know soon enough so your patience is appreciated.

plus no GB update for me either(UK)
[LG Optimus 2x] PLBLV:
"LG Optimus 2X: Now available (as of 1st November, 2011) for open models in Europe

.....

The exact timing of the upgrades in each market may vary because of the different requirements in each country with respect to domestic operators and models."

you all understand, what does it mean....:D i will be very surprised, if LG will be able to fix those "different requirements in each country" in 1-2 mounth.
[LG Optimus 2x] S0ci0:
So i wonder why all other phone companies (e.g. Samsung, Motorola) already know the compatibility of their phones and have an eta for ICS on their devices, and LG is still testing :p
[LG Optimus 2x] arkara:
Who said that they know about the compatibility? :rolleyes:
[LG Optimus 2x] umutozcano:
a quick question. so i have root + CMW + Gr4.

i want to update with the update tool (tomorrow).

Is it enough that I restore my official v10D with nandroid and then flash this original recovery: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1021554&highlight=custom+recovery

I read that you cant get official updates with CWM ? or with custom rom installed? ... so get rid of those two and i should be set for the official GB ?
[LG Optimus 2x] TrymHansen:
In theory yes, but I'm not sure that that recovery is working as well as it should, several people have reported that the update didn't go as planned after doing the exact thing you describe. (They got stuck in a "smartflash-loop", the device would always boot into smartflash mode). So if you have the time and the bandwidth, just download a complete ROM and smartflash that before upgrading. Flashing the entire thing doesn't take much longer than flashing the baseband alone.
[LG Optimus 2x] umutozcano:
Thank you. I'll use smartflash instead, just to be sure everything works properly.
[LG Optimus 2x] kabecilhas:

[LG Optimus 2x] TrymHansen:
Thanks Rusty, I sorta knew about that already, was hoping there'd be a less intimidating way (for the general public, I'm perfectly comfortable with it.)

Btw, I tried the Zergrush thingy, and it claimed to break in and install stuff (on an already rooted phone), it replaced the superuser binary I already had with an older version, and completely broke wi-fi, so something worked ;-) (Was searching for the nandroid backup of the unrooted 2c/e which is linked somewhere, figured it'd be good to test on, but couldn't find it, if anybody has a link I'd appreciate it.)

EDIT: Nevermind, found a smartflash version of 20c, I'm off to see if I can break in.

Thanks
[LG Optimus 2x] bilibcn:
Can anyone say if it is available? Thank you.
[LG Optimus 2x] Fulwood Sedge:
Doesn't work for me OTA but then I wasn't really expecting it to work...
[LG Optimus 2x] TrymHansen:
Well, I'm no expert at breaking into phones, which became painfully obvious as one thing after another that I tried failed miserably.

In the end I decided to do a dry-run with Rusty's excellent CWM NVFlash installer. Then I assembled a simple CWM-package to install superuser.apk and su from there. (An existing package in which I just replaced the update-binary.)

From there we can boot and then install busybox from the market, after which you can do anything you're used to on a rooted phone.

If anyone's interested I can make a simple guide. I take, or deserve, no credit for this, everything's premade by excellent people like Rusty, ChainsDD and STEricson.

---------- Post added at 12:42 PM ---------- Previous post was at 12:30 PM ----------

I couldnt agree less. It has been clear that LG is quite indifferent as to how their customers feel about this issue, possibly thinking that a few complaints wont hurt anybody. At the same time they wont stop releasing new models, which shows that there is a lot of programmers working on current gingerbread releases, just not for models already released (and apparently 'forgotten'). Also (and most important) 'bashing a company publicly' (when it deserves it - clearly the case here) is one of the few things consumers can/should do nowadays if they want the standards of services to be high. In this case we are not even talking 'high'; more like 'in-par' with the competition id say..

[LG Optimus 2x] DANIELWHITT:
this was my conversation just with an lg rep online

Mobile Phone Support: Hello, daniel whittington. Can I help you with anything today?

daniel whittington: yes

Mobile Phone Support: Hello, you are through Michael. How can I help?

daniel whittington: could you explain why your website says there is an update for my lgp990 and the pc suite says there is an update for my phone but once i had backed up my phone it said there was no update availiable, thus wasting my time.

Mobile Phone Support: It could be network specific

daniel whittington: im on v10d euro open

Mobile Phone Support: Where was the handset purchased?

daniel whittington: country or place

Mobile Phone Support: Country

daniel whittington: uk

daniel whittington: the last update i did was throught the pc suite to get to this version

Mobile Phone Support: Some updates are for handsets on contract, things like T-Mobile or Orange updates

daniel whittington: that makes no sence, the pc suite checks version and network and decides what updates are availiable, the handset i have is unlocked and network free, and it still says there is an update availiable, also are we going to get the new gingerbread android version at all,

Mobile Phone Support: Should be this month

Mobile Phone Support: Was your handset unlocked when purchased?

daniel whittington: yes, network free, the phone wasn't bought from a mobile shop but a high street retailer

daniel whittington: so no answer as to why the pc suite says i have an update,

Mobile Phone Support: No, I do not know why it is offering a update

Mobile Phone Support: Does it say for your handset or for the support tool/

daniel whittington: its says there is an update for my phone, the it offers the option to back up the phone or carry on without the backup, the it lauches the lg mobile update service, checks for the usb drivers, then checks country, software version and then says your handset has the latest software availiable

so lg dont even know when its coming out, time to start saving i think
