Timetable - The week starting 28 Nov!

Let's try to keep this thread on topic guys, or it will be closed like every other Gingerbread topic out there!

LG said the BLACK will be getting the update the week starting 28 November, so it could very well be somewhere between 28 nov - 4 December!

If we take into account the last 2 days is a weekend it is fair to aproximate a window of just 5 days between 28 nov to 2 dec!

It will come don't worry, and it will be great! Just minor tweeks, video chat and kernel version, ... what do you expect more from this update?

@mgregor: Extend battery life and smoother system? - included in minor tweaks!?!?
[LG Optimus Black] mgregor:
> what do you expect more from this update?

Extend battery life and smoother system?

If you take on LG Optimus 2X and LG Optimus 3D, then 2.3 came out a day later announced date.

The best method for check that the official GB is now available for YOUR device is to check this link:

http://csmg.lgmobile.com:9002/csmg/b2c/client/auth_model_check2.jsp?esn=IMEI

(You need to type your IMEI number at the end). It'll show current newest version for your product code.
[LG Optimus Black] kdo_vi:
I dont want FW for my IMEI, i want Europe open :)
[LG Optimus Black] mgregor:
So you need to enter IMEI from unbranded phone version

Korea Version V20L

Yesterday I have found this version, this could be the 1st step for 2.3

httx://luivit.altervista.org/firmwareP970/index.php

So be patient,
[LG Optimus Black] redy2006:
The Korean V20L has already discussed on this thread, and it's not compatible with P970, even it's the same product. So you're right to be patient till this weekend ;)

They said that "week commencing" at November, 28. So it doesn't really mean that it was today. The "week" estimation is between now 'till this weekend :)

[LG Optimus Black] Aioross:
Someone knows why lg servers are down?
[LG Optimus Black] redy2006:

You guys can stop whining and simply check http://csmg.lgmobile.com:9002/csmg/b2c/client/auth_model_check2.jsp?esn=IMEI (you need to replace IMEI with your actual code), in case your from Europe. If you're from the rest of the world, sit tight and relax, we'll let you know and share it *the second* it comes out. No point in flooding this thread with "is it out yet" type of replies as it would not help anyone.
[LG Optimus Black] donjamal:
but if u look after with imei its not the europian open... its your service provider.. isnt it?
[LG Optimus Black] mgregor:
So let's someone post IMEI from unbranded phone.

Is it unbranded version? Will be better if that was non-polish version ;-) Our LG is a bit laggy ;-) I think that "Europe open" version will be available earlier than dedicated polish (or other languages) version.
[LG Optimus Black] radkor:
APOLTL is unbranded product code for Poland.

European open is ANEUTL. It is very possible that GB will firstly come to ANEUTL, then later for APOLTL, and finally for operator's branded phones. APOLTL IMEI is useless at the moment.
[LG Optimus Black] pabgar:
Tell me what is the difference between Polish not branded and Europe open ? Initially my phone came with polish 10A ( as LG server thinks ) and now I use europe open 10e. I can find no difference.

P.S. Przeczytałeś co Ci napisałem o słuchawkach ? ;P

U r right indeed.
[LG Optimus Black] lesp4ul:
Just a local policies, small thing. Like market links some available in europe but not available in Poland... You can use any Rom you want :D

Is 29 of november and the update for p970 doesn't exists. For 3d and 2x the update was available in the first day of the announcement. What happend ... the site is under maintenance .... pfff ....
[LG Optimus Black] mauka:
Our black apparently the LG out of favor. I laugh, can that happen?
[LG Optimus Black] mikle_01:
lgmobile.com still online... Hopefully the update(s) are now available....?
[LG Optimus Black] mihaiolimpiu:
How to check for new version...

I use Lg Mobile Update program, Select Country -> Europe, then if you go to Supporting Model list and scroll to Europe Open -> P970 you will see that the last version is still 10e...

Nice thing about it is that you don't need your phone to be connected when you do this!

There is a surprise LOL

I was quite looking forward the first time LG are to keep their promise about OB , but frankly not to be yet.

P.s i stand corrected. I missed the Baltic part.

Still there is time to get surprised than.

[LG Optimus Black] silenthitman47:
hmmm....

if i have LG OB from Orange Romania, the update will come later?... it takes time for Orange to approve it , or what?:confused:
[LG Optimus Black] mihaiolimpiu:
If you want to expect the ORANGE Rom it will come a while later... but you can always flash Europe Open...

My black is already unlocked (from Orange Romania)... so I really want a open ROM!
[LG Optimus Black] silenthitman47:
well...

The issue is that i dont want to VOID MY WARRANTY, because u never know... i had an issue with a blackballer call app, and it kinda rendered my phone useless, and i got a new LG-OB from Orange, because of that... so... i like warranty:P

Mine is running on the V10b firmware, how about yours? is there any difference between v10b, c, d, e, .... etc...??? is it really worth it to flash my phone with a new firmware and unlock it, because i got used to my LG UI 2.0:p

don't you get it, the maintenance thing is just a cover up so they have something to blame the continuously increasing delay on.
[LG Optimus Black] masterthor:
Can anyone confirm that the phones that have the "ANEUTL" will first get the update? Right now, the last version that LG seems to provide via the update tool for such a device appears to be V10E_00. Will check back in a couple of hours :)
[LG Optimus Black] dharmabm:
Those dates and times mean absolutely nothing, lgmobile has been offline for well over a week. Keep dreaming folks, your phone isn't gonna be any different when the update comes anyway, it still won't make toast!
[LG Optimus Black] victorash:
"still won't make toast"... but it Will have longer battery life, no more hangs, no sound isuues, no more lag, etc.
[LG Optimus Black] Redpik:
Hopefully. For P500 battery life was not better for sure. Other stuff maybe. We'll see.
[LG Optimus Black] frozenheartxxx:

[LG Optimus Black] dharmabm:
LMFAO :)
[LG Optimus Black] dharmabm:
Really? You honestly think that? Might as well stick with stock froyo, you'll NEVER get the battery life you want with any smartphone, it's just the nature of the beast
[LG Optimus Black] pabgar:
Following Your way of thinking we should all stay happy with Eclair or Donut.
[LG Optimus Black] masterthor:
I don't want to start a flame, but maybe end the one that's already building up above. You can't say that GB won't be something positive to look forward to. First of all, it would provide some additional options that most of us have with CM7, but without the bugs in the nightlies. Second of all, and most importantly imho, it will make this phone a lot more desirable by eliminating one of the almost single defects it has: shipped with 2.2 by default. This was a minus when I purchased it, and I'm pretty sure it affected others as well. You may wonder how exactly does this affect us since we already have it. The answer is people. Once 2.3 for OB will be out, more people will get it, which will mean a bigger community. Bigger community means more developers, more roms, more action, faster fixes and a better interaction between everyone. The more people have this phone, the happier they are :D That being said, get a cup of coffee, go watch a movie and wait for GB to be released without further argument or complaint :D
[LG Optimus Black] RedmanDR:
I think the effect will be exactly opposite, many people won't buy LG phones because of the lack of updates. When Black came out, it was already obsolete thanks to Froyo, when it will finally get Gingerbread, most of the similar phone users will be updating theirs to ICS. As for me, its the last LG phone that I ever bought.
[LG Optimus Black] inso420:
You have to understand that most of the people that buy phones don't even know anything about updates :p. The people that do are a minority. Not every one is a "power user".
[LG Optimus Black] cici2:

[LG Optimus Black] tsakaji30:
Ok, it's been 3 days from the promised date. Why LG play with our feelings? I was going to sell my phone but i'd rather prefer wait for the update because actually the OB is a very good phone (in hardware)!!

Besides, i'm tired of the bugs we have in the nightlies and I'm missing LG UI 2.0 (i think it has a better performance).

[LG Optimus Black] nico_bzh:
I am right ?

To download a kdz file from LG website we had to go there :

csmg.lgmobile.com:9002/swdata/WEBSW/LGP970/"region"l/"version"/"file".kdz

So for the fisrt official release in europe i had to go there :

csmg.lgmobile.com:9002/swdata/WEBSW/LGP970/aneutl/V20A_00/V20A_00.kdz

What do you think about that

Sorry if my idea is stupid... thanks for your answers
[LG Optimus Black] kdo_vi:
For O2X and O3D was the first gingerbread in version V20L, korean fol OB V20L too...
[LG Optimus Black] nico_bzh:
Thank you kdo_vi, so i wil go few times a day here :

csmg.lgmobile.com:9002/swdata/WEBSW/LGP970/ANEUTL/V20L_00/V20L_00.kdz
[LG Optimus Black] nimakh:
you can check the update for your phone with IMEI

i can not post an external link but google for csmg.lgmobile.com:9002/csmg/b2c/client/auth_model_check2.jsp?esn

replace IMEI with your phone IMEI and the latest version will be displayed for you
[LG Optimus Black] nico_bzh:
@nimakh unfortunately, my IMEI is a branded phone (SFR France), and i wish i can had the unbranded open firmware... so the EMEI method doesn't fit with my willing ;)
[LG Optimus Black] blankzebra:

[LG Optimus Black] Redpik:

[LG Optimus Black] nico_bzh:

[LG Optimus Black] blankzebra:

I thought share it with others who didn't notice.
[LG Optimus Black] jamiescott23:
How will we know when update is available? Which web site, what kind of link / message should we look for? Any ideas?
[LG Optimus Black] Redpik:
With LG Update Tool.
[LG Optimus Black] jamiescott23:
So someone who uses European Open Rom should check all the time. Pehhh. That sucks.

If i use v10E European Open, it should be available when LG rolls out the rom, right?

I doubt it will be available for today too.
[LG Optimus Black] mikezin_:
Did the update was released to Brasil too ?:confused:
[LG Optimus Black] masterthor:
It does not matter what ROM you currently have installed, all it matters is what IMEI you have on your phone. This means that if your http://csmg.lgmobile.com:9002/csmg/b2c/client/auth_model_check2.jsp?esn=IMEI page shows anything else than ANEUTL, you will not get the update when it will be released. I am already watching that page for the update using an open Europe IMEI periodically, however, no updates have been made, or else I would have updated this forum already. Please note that even if you do not have an europe-open phone, as soon as the update will be available, it will be uploaded as a kdz so you could download and flash it no matter what p970 flavor you have. Cheers.
[LG Optimus Black] jamiescott23:
Thank you very much for the info.

Then I lean back and hit F5 from time to time :)
[LG Optimus Black] shadykiller:
Waiting here in India

I have been waiting here in India since 28th night. I keep checking these pages to see the latest ROM on the top of the page:

csmg.lgmobile.com:9002 /csmg/b2c/client/web_model_list.jsp?country=<COUNTRY CODE>

All european countries I checked still show only P990 or P920 updates on top of the page.

Will post again if I find anything different :)
[LG Optimus Black] mgregor:
What is country code? Some example?
[LG Optimus Black] bigwings:
Country Code

Country Code like: DE, NL, ES, IT, PL, HU, ...
[LG Optimus Black] mikezin_:
Which is very nice, not that nice if you're working and don't have chance to open any LG software to try to update your mobile and will have to wait till 5 PM :mad:

Do you guys know if there is way to check if the udpate is availabe to brasil ?

Thanks o/
[LG Optimus Black] Marcel_16V:
I'm waiting too. My friend bought this when I told her to buy Galaxy S, now she wants update this LG.

LG sucks.
[LG Optimus Black] Luhccas-X10:
You'll only update using non official methods...

The firmware for europe is almost the same.

My sister are using V10d open euro instead of V10b for Brazil.

When available,i'm sure that someone will share the firmware with us.

Just wait ;)!
[LG Optimus Black] mgregor:
And which code is europe open?
[LG Optimus Black] jamiescott23:
Yeah, I'm working too. Till 6 PM. We should wait for masterthor since he's checking if it's available. Just hit F5 :)
[LG Optimus Black] shadykiller:
Even this link for Germany -> csmg.lgmobile.com:9002 /csmg/b2c/client/web_model_list.jsp?country=DE shows EUROPE OPEN firmwares. I think this page would show P970 updates once available.
[LG Optimus Black] mikezin_:
I don't think that OB sucks i loved this cell, the hardware is amazing and screen, camera... etc...

The only problem is LG that is caried about O2X and O3D before OB :/

even tho we came first -.-

I'm really hoping that we can get this update today in the afternoon or so.

\o/

---------- Post added at 10:36 AM ---------- Previous post was at 10:31 AM ----------

Ohhh seriouslly, she is using 2.3 euro version? How did she did that, can you share with us Br folks? :)

Bcuz i don't like to w8 u know :P

Thanks buddy
[LG Optimus Black] tweex:
Country Code for Europe Open is 06 and you can show only P970 firmwares by adding this: &model=LGP970
[LG Optimus Black] shaullx:
So, is it available yet?

I used LG updater to try, and it flashed me over with the stock 2.2 i had, only now it has some weird bug where it shows my Internal memory as 0.0mb, and every time i restart it, everything is lost as if re-flashed it.

Ideas? :o
[LG Optimus Black] bigwings:
haha, v10d is a 2.2 Froyo, not 2.3 Gingerbread...
[LG Optimus Black] mihaiolimpiu:

You can check this link: Here to view the latest Europe Open Lg P970 Firmware!

[LG Optimus Black] shaullx:
I know, but the software didn't say what the new version will be, it just said there's an updated available so i assumed it was 2.3. =/
[LG Optimus Black] shadykiller:
2.3 updates would start with v20 :)
[LG Optimus Black] shaullx:
Looks like all the other major Optimus devices has already received an update. (3D,X2,One)

Why's our last? :(

Also, i would like to ask you guys something, i'm from Israel with the carrier Cellcom, i'm pretty sure they won't make an update for it any time soon, and i kinda hate their ROMs anyway since they fill it with so much memory wasting crap.

So my question is, would it be fine for me to update to any other carrier (Europe Open for example)?
[LG Optimus Black] Luhccas-X10:
No man,it's not...

Is 2.2.2 :p
[LG Optimus Black] interdan:

LG UK online support had this to type when i asked them when

Mani: Lg P970 android 2.3 gingerbread update when

Mobile Phone Support: How can I help you this afternoon?

Mani: im sick and tired of waiting i just want a definate date for update

Mobile Phone Support: As far as we are aware the 2.3 Gingerbread update for the LG Optimus Black will be available from the 12th December 2011 for open models in the UK .

Mobile Phone Support: I would suggest that you continue to visit our website, for future news updates, or by checking via the LG Mobile Support Tool, closer to the time of anticipated release.

Mobile Phone Support: The 2.3 Gingerbread update for the LG Optimus Black will become available for open models in the UK, from the 12th December 2011. I can not comment as to how the individual networks will follow this, as this is to their discretion, although it will obviously be following this date.

Mobile Phone Support: Do you have any further questions?

another LG lie maybe :(
[LG Optimus Black] shadykiller:
Can anyone ask for other countries like Germany or France. I guess we can anyway update no matter where its released first :)

That is really shocking as LG cant even tell a lie anymore in Poland :)

Well iv asked online for the past 3 doing the same method and the release date has changed 3 times now with me first being advised that October 28 was a definite release date

We could well be looking at January 2012 release date now as what they say has no value now :(
