Since that thread on how to unbrick many moons ago -- People reported that they did in fact get things working in Win7/Vista; It just had a lot lower success rate. People also got it going in XP mode / Virtual environments. So an actual XP machine isn't 100% necessary, it was just the most successful method.

I was just gonna say, I updated my phone to the July 15 baseband using 64-bit Win 7 using this guide:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1332350

I don't think XP is required at all, it's just a false myth, most people's issues stem from the fact that you need to have a stock ROM for a KDZ file to flash properly (IE you can't update your baseband/flash a .kdz with CM7 installed).

You'd need to follow a guide this like:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1048274

to flash back to a stock Froyo or Gingerbread ROM, and probably use NVFlash to put stock recovery back on too.

... Perhaps in the future instead of bragging to each other about how much IT experience you have just find a solution to the problem and post that instead...

This guide:

Was posted in July, with a KDZ file named "V21E_00.kdz"

This post is talking about "Videotron_P999_V21D_00.kdz"

Wouldn't V21E be newer than V21D (As E comes after D...)?
[T-Mobile LG G2x] Core Memory:
What download link? You have to have a Mac running OSX and and Bootcamp and licensed Windows 7, nothing to do with me providing a download link. The reason it apparently runs on Windows 7 on a Mac is that the USB driver doesn't detach during the update.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] GenghisKhan67:
Did you read the OP's request?
[T-Mobile LG G2x] Core Memory:
Yes, I read it before my posts in this thread.

A while ago, I read about the problem with the LG USB drivers detaching in Windows 7 when using the KDZ updater which screwed up the firmware update's progress, stopping it prematurely, which people have not had when running KDZ update in Windows 7 with Bootcamp on a Mac and that the update succeeded immediately. I didn't use a Mac, I used a WIntel computer.

I will not be installing the Videotron update because an LG Canada CSR told me that the update is only a patch to remedy a problem with Videotron's customers not receiving text messages, it's not an update to Android 2.3.3. I already have the T-Mobile July 15 baseband running and haven't had any problems with it.

[T-Mobile LG G2x] SL:
Just a follow up to to my adventure

At one point I could go into CWM and flash any SW but the phone would reboot to SW upgrade.

It now no longer allows me to go to CWM but I can clash CWM.

Phone will only come up with the SW upgrade screen.

Computer no longer recognise the phone.

I think the phone may be a BRICK! But still looking to un brick it.

Glad I have my Glazy Nexus! :)

UPDATE....UPDATE

FIXED PROBLEM

This link is what I did to fix the problem. Probably the easiest fix to a soft brick. The link below should be a sticky for sure. When nothing works..it did.

I had to use the KDZ method after to install the proper baseband but that was a breeze because the computer recognize everything.

Just re-installed my old V11 image and did the update...

Same as before!

Android Version : 2.2.2

Baseband Version: May 18th 2011 (as before)

Kernel Version: 2.6.32.9

Build Number: FRG83G

Only change:

Software Version is now:

LG-P999-AVC-V21d

And the wierdest part is, when restarting the LG Update apps, still see my phone as V11 and ask for an update.

I'm leaving the job, so will verify at home.

For now, for a 181Mb update, my phone's still rooted and all my apps are present.

Looks like another fail :D , but we'll see.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] Core Memory:
As I posted before, the LG Canada CSR told me that it was only a patch to fix problems with text messaging, nothing else.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] Blazing angel:
Exactly the same as before apart from version # changes. Still android 2.2.2, and still the may 18th baseband. On the bright side, i updated the firmware to the july baseband after using this firmware :D
[T-Mobile LG G2x] NoobthatHires:
I really don't understand why LG decided to use V21 as the version number, knowing how the Internet and all of us are.

What I mean by this is V21 was known to all of us as the Gingerbread update from TMO that many ROMs are based on.

I for one had my hopes up to finally see Gingerbread on our phone.

We had a from V10 to V11 update for a minor correction, why didn't they use V12 will mostly be a question unanswered, since LG's not the company prone to updates and keeping us in the know.

Don't get me wong, I do like the phone (HDMI output still kiils my staff members that praise on their IPhone), but since there was a release for Gingerbread out for TMO for a while, wy didn't they release this official update to all P999. :confused:
[T-Mobile LG G2x] d12unk13astard:
How long should it take from being stuck at 4% to continue the flash, I've waited up to 15-30 mins b4 and nothing happened.

Better read my post in this thread and get to work to fixing your phone....

I have found there is no fix except the link i posted.

Your phone is soft brick!

JBOXER..I suggest you clearly put that this rom is not for anyone..or they brick their phone.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] lotherius:
So from anyone who has been able to flash this, it has been confirmed as a 2.2 update only and not a 2.3 upgrade?
[T-Mobile LG G2x] SL:
It is a 2.2 rom.

It is an update (patch) to their phone for some security fix. (not a full rom upgrade).

Therefore not advisable for anyone to do a KDZ on their phone except if you have a videotron firmware.

GUARANTEE a SOFT BRICK of phone if you do kdz.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] lotherius:
Thank you :) I, for one, do not welcome any new Bricked overlords.

Just received a text message from Videotron announcing the release of the 2.2 update:

http://support.videotron.com/residential/mobile/devices/lg-optimus-2x/lg-optimus-2x-update

Yep, it ain't about GB or ICS. LOL
[T-Mobile LG G2x] NoobthatHires:
What's not to love in this statement (from the Videotron page):

Android 2.2 (Froyo)

- The update retains the current Android 2.2 version (Froyo);

this is the version of the Android OS which has been made

available to Videotron by Google and the handset manufacturer

(LG Canada).

Come on Videotron !

T-Mobile have Gingerbread since August.

Don't tell me that your techs aren't able to change the logscreens !!!

Anyhow, O2x community are almost done with ICS (Everything works, camera partially working, as does AD2P and video playback).

Should be short 'till we get an ICS port for the G2x.

Won't ask for an ETA, will sit tight and wait.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] Shtsh:
I have troubles with developer mode on my phone.

Enable usb debug option is checked, but adb (running under gentoo linux, ubuntu, windows 7) doesn't show any devices.

But when recovery (CWM) is loaded, everything works well.

When I'm trying to start adbd with

Code:

#adbd start

I get message "cannot bind tcp:5037"

I thought it appears because adbd is already running but

Code:

ps aux | grep adb

gives nothing

Any ideas what to do? Does anyone have problems with adb even if Usb debug is turned on?

[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] enfurno:
Something happened to my phone. I rebooted, and it just loads to a screen with the signal bars.. Nothing else. I have already wiped, installed my backup, etc. Same issue.

I believe that it has to do with something being deleted while cleaning up my storage, I subsequently backed up after doing this, so that is likely the issue.

I am running rogue's recovery and I cannot get the sd card to mount so that I can put another rom on and flash. It just does nothing what so ever.

Any help fixing the mount issue?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] sfhub:
Couldn't you just take the sdcard out and use a reader/writer to put the ROM on?

You could also flash the appropriate "NoData" version of the stock ROM in the ODIN links in my signature. They will preserve your user data and get you booted so you can do more advanced repair work.

Do not delete your nandroid backups even if you think they are bad since you may need to recover portions of them.

if u dare take a risk send ur phone to service centre after installed a cool custom rom offered in that CWM app,because u just hve hard-like stone brick'd ur phone if u do that.!

Dont playing around with ROM manager app,doesn't matter its 3rd party or wherever u hve download it because official CWM recovery its not yet support with our device..

1.kezraplane's remove that thing in his rom

2.u still have touchwiz because this is not a launcher or anything like that(or a rom)..this is only a gorgeous modded theme(thx for crisis555)..it change only your whole theme,toast,status bar,battery/signal icon..etc..

Enter the market,search for ICS launcher by team syndicate....i tell u,really feel like holding an ics device if u combine this two thing..
