How To Update To V30A/ICS on O2X/Optimus 2x/P990

Alright then...I got my O2X updated and it was not easy. I'll try and provide the best steps I can. THIS IS NOT A CUSTOM FIRMWARE. I thought it was too, until I saw the LG R&D tool at the end of all this...

UPDATED INSTRUCTIONS - If you are in the process of doing this, check the new step 4

1. Get the All-In-One tool and extract it somewhere.

-I suggest doing a backup if you haven't already. Run this tool to do so - it has a program that will compress your internal/external sd for you.

+I used MyBackup (on market) to backup and restore all my data.

2. Download: V30A from here

3. Make sure there is at least 1 free line at the end of your hosts file (GIYF if you don't know what it is).

4. Set the lock delay/screen timeout on the phone to 30 minutes and make sure it isn't in USB mass storage mode. Stops the driver failing

5. Run the LG Update Tool through "P990-Toolkit.cmd" (located where you extracted all-in-one tool) - option 6.

-If it fails when you press "Normal web upgrade test" in the R&D tool - either your hosts file is wrong or the apache server didnt set itself up right.

+Make sure you added that free line in your hosts file. Otherwise, fix the details the program added (will be at end of last non-free line)

+I don't know what you can do in the second case other than setup your own apache server which is what I did (I had one).

-If it fails at around 6% with a device not connected error, DO NOT DO STEP 10 IN THE DOCUMENT. Very high chance of bricking.

+Make sure you set the lock delay/screen timeout to 30 mins and that the phone isn't in mass storage mode.

6. Wait about 10-15 mins. Don't worry - it does take a while to reboot afterwards.

7. On my behalf, enjoy the update and dont complain about it the second you see lag or something else ridiculous like that.

-If you do have a problem, search the forum. Like the intro video says, your probably not special :P

Proof that it works:

[LG Optimus 2x] zerro80:
any help please? now i have v28e.
[LG Optimus 2x] de_ViL:
Thank you, I followed your instructions and everything went OK.

Now I can enjoy ICS finally :)
[LG Optimus 2x] frikou:
I don't understand the free line in the host, I search on Google, have no idea what to do.

I'm going crazy!! I tried this way and it gives me an error, I tried another one and it oppened the LG Update Tool wich tells me that my phone is up to date, I really don't know what to do, I'm going nuts.

I'm attaching a screenshot of the error I'm having
[LG Optimus 2x] juzers42:
Will this work for indian lg optimus 2x p990

Hey guys, will this update work for india customers of the lg optimus 2x....I am downloading it but i am scared to update it. I hope my phone doesn't get bricked by installing this update.

Please help...
[LG Optimus 2x] m1cr0man:
It will work in India, intact I'd say it will work anywhere (don't blame me if you are outside Europe and it fails though :p). As for the Bricking fear, you simply won't brick it doing this. The program used to flash the device in this method is an official LG program so it is very reliable. I had the same fear at the time as well, so don't worry.

As far as I remember reading, you must turn off UAC on windows and be in an administrator account. This looks like what may be wrong since the error you got was "permission denied".

As for the hosts file, go into c:\windows\system32\drivers\etc\ and open the file "hosts" with notepad. Then just make sure there is at least one free line at the bottom of it.

Hope this helps, feel free to ask if you need more help.
[LG Optimus 2x] juzers42:
Thanks

Thanks m1cr0man, for the quick and positive response...will let you know after flashing it how it works.....
[LG Optimus 2x] frikou:
Thanks a lot for your help, nonetheless, the error still appears :confused:

This is what I did: I edited the host file to add that line at the bottom with notepad and since it only let me save a .txt file I deleted the extension and replaced the original file.

Then I deactivated User Account Control and rebooted, I'm using an Administrator account but the error still appears.

I attached the three screens I get after choosing option 6 in the ToolKit.

I guess I'm still a noob after all..

Edit: I followed the file where the error was held and took a look of it with Notepad++ (see attachment 4) and that error took me to the lines that were going to edit the host file to add this one: "127.0.0.1	csmg.lgmobile.com", so I tried to do it myself manually, I added that line in the host file and it worked! But, (yeah, there's still a but), when I got to the end of everything, just when it went off to install the update, the program told me that the battery level of my phone was too low and that I must charge it first :rolleyes: I had 43% of battery left. Haha, but yeah, at least it's working, I'm going to give it a shot after the phone is done charging, wish me luck!
[LG Optimus 2x] spyrosk:
First of all the error you get is not a script error but a runtime error, meaning that something in your PC is wrong.

Since I wrote that script and I know what it does, do NOT forget to re-edit the hosts file after and remove the line, because csmg.lgmobile.com will always be off-line for you.

It is needed only for the LG tool to flash a kdz file off-line without checking LG database.

Good luck and let me know.
[LG Optimus 2x] m1cr0man:
Glad to see you got that fixed :) Let us know how it gets on after flashing.
[LG Optimus 2x] m1cr0man:
...How did you manage to choose option 3 or option 2 instead of option 6 (LG Update Tool) when I clearly stated option 6?

Either way, you just tried to install NVFlash on your phone and failed (option 2/3), instead of updating to ICS. I have no idea what to do to fix that, so you're on your own for now if what you are trying doesn't work.

EDIT: Ok, now I'm really confused. If you got that log you did choose option 6, but it should not and will not ask you to take out the battery and hold down the recovery buttons. You either clicked another option aswell or...i dont know what else.
[LG Optimus 2x] frikou:
I chose option 6, of course, I clearly remember that, option 6, then it told me some advices and told me to click any key to continue so I did.

Why do you mean I tried to install NVflash on my phone? I have followed every indication step by step.

What I said is that I'm downloading NVflash now to unblick my phone and try the update to ICS again using the Toolkit.

I really appreciate all the help people here have gave me, thank you.

Man, I was scared a little when you said that you had no idea how to fix that, I thought my phone was dead for good, now I can breathe again.

The vol- down stuff was an instruction from the Office Word document that opened to guide through the update, it says: "10.	Wait until it finishes. If it gives any message that the phone is not connected or something like that, disconnect it, turn it off, remove battery and plug it back holding "Volume Down" key. (Automatically goes to Upgrade mode)."
[LG Optimus 2x] m1cr0man:
Hmm ok. My point is that it should not have asked you to do the unplug and software update mode stuff - I only got that when I was rooting it. Either way, sorry it bricked. It should not have done that.

EDIT: OOOH RIIIITE. Step 10 :p. I didn't have to do that - no message to say it wasn't connected. Hmm, it might be associated with the fact that I set the screen lock delay to 30 mins before hand. Try that when you are doing it again. I'll include it in the instructions post also.
[LG Optimus 2x] frikou:
It looks like even that it didn't go to 100% I'm on the new partition layout because my phone shows a Red LG Logo and the nvflash kit tool didn't rescue it, I'm downloading the Tool Kit for ICS to try it out, 30 more minutes before the download finishes.

Edit: Alright, using this NVflash toolkit for ICS I went back to old partition layout and flashed my old Rom, :D I'm so happy, my phone is alive again. Alright, now I'm going to set the 30min lock time and try to update to ICS again

Edit 2: I tried updating again, the same thing happened, had to use NVflash to restore my phone again, I'm gonna try to update another day using a different pc, maybe it will work, thanks a lot m1cr0man, i really appreciate all your help.
[LG Optimus 2x] TioGuis:
Thank you very much :)

I am from Portugal and it worked like a charm ;)
[LG Optimus 2x] m1cr0man:
Sorry for this late reply - I don't get email notification on edits.

I know how annoying it is when someone tells you how to do something and it doesn't work - and I really cannot think of another thing to try to fix it. One thing I suggest though is try it on another computer that is running a different OS. It may be something to do with that. I did it on Win 7 Pro x64 SP1 fine.

Hmm...actually...if you have the time, you could try one more thing. I upgraded mine from V20H (GB 2.3.4) rooted to V30A. You could try the same version on yours and rooted, and see if it works. SuperOneClick can root the GB roms. If you can't get V20H try the next one, I think its V20Q or V20L for you.
[LG Optimus 2x] frikou:
oh, don't worry, not at all, it's ok, you've been very very helpful, really, I appreciate that, thank you very much :good:

You know? You actually read my mind, I thought about going back to some stock v20 Rom and try to update from there instead of going to v30a from tonyp and harsh's v28g. But that's gonna have to wait until tomorrow night at least, I'm out of time for today and I've already restored my sd card backup and also my apps from Titanium, but if I can borrow some time tomorrow night I'm gonna try that.

One xda app searched that v20J was the right for me, but I'll try to find v20h, v20q or v20s and I'm also familiar with SuperOneClick so rooting won't be an issue.

I'll report back when I do that, also, it looks like I'm the only one having problems with the update, maybe it's because of the Rom I'm running or because of the pc I'm at. Next time I try gonna change both, and I'm more determined now that I saw that carburano released it's own DJ ICS Rom
[LG Optimus 2x] de_ViL:
I was also upgrading from stock GB (V20Q) to ICS (Win7 64-bit). So you should try it :)
[LG Optimus 2x] frikou:
Thanks a lot m1cr0man, the problem was with the Rom I was running afterall, now I'm on Stock 4.0.4 :D

I downloaded v20q to smartflash it, but I remembered that I had a cwm Backup of my old v20d Stock rooted Gingerbread, wow it was old, it was from March!! Anyways, I used the same computer because I had everything I needed just to try it out to see if it works, and yeah, it did, it only took 10 minutes to update.

So I advice you guys, don't go to ICS 4.0.4 through this method while running the cwm flashable v28g version by harsh and tonyp, it won't update, just go to a Stock GB (don't know it root is required) and you're ready to go :good:

Now I'm gonna try ICS DjangoManouche :good:
[LG Optimus 2x] m1cr0man:
Glad to hear you got it to work :) I might try some custom roms after christmas when I get my new sd card.

Try root and then use a battery calibration app from market.

Or u root, install cwm and wipe ur battery stats.
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] luisoman2000:
And if that doesnt help you could try flashing the firmware again. If all fails then you have a hardware issue.

Thanx 4ur reply..... I had flashed it, but not resolve my problem... And for battery calibration it requires rooting the phone how to do that

Get the back up and restore app from the sticky thread in the dev section (I think that's where it is) instal it on your phone they get flash tool click the little padlock icon it will help you root when it says click restore in the app push it and wait. It will restart then say it's done and you're all done.

hi

i have been hearing these words and i have an overview of these.

I am a linux user, so i know about swap, and what i know about zram is it compresses memory to run more programs at once, at the cost of performance.

I dont think i want to have zram enabled, but about swap. I think i want to give it a try. I searched a bit but a have not found anything useful.

any help is appreciated!

thx
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] LemonPowerForce:
For anyone who's not flashed a JB rom yet: S Memo is gone. With it goes the little memo widget on the homescreen, weirdly enough. (There's no S Note widgets available in the same way as the pictures shown, nor in the Note 2, so it's likely we're not getting one)

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2009202

Stealing S Memo from the S3 works, oddly enough.

But it's missing palm rejection, and appears to want to force 1280x720, so there's a little empty strip down the right hand side.

If anyone knows any better alternatives for getting this widget, or a similar widget back, I would much appreciate it.

Has anyone tried remapping the Camera Key to take Screenshots, outside Camera app ofcourse.

Could you show me how, I don't wanna use an app for it, just edit some system files. I've tried ButtonRemapper but it didn't work.

Thank you!

Edit: I would also like to know how to switch menu key and long press home key
[Xperia Arc Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kaneshir0:
Were you able to find a solution?

I wanted to do something similiar. I wanted to remap the camera key to lockscreen. Simliar feature to the Galaxy models where they have a dedicated convenience key on the right side to lock the deivce
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] LMMT:
Since we now have the LK8 leak, and no custom Roms, yet. I've seen the "how do I disable camera sounds" question asked a few times.

I'm sure your favorite developer will incorporate this feature, like they have in the past, as they update to the new base. This is mainly for us impatient noobs:D

You must be rooted. Using a root explorer, navigate to /system. Select build.prop. Scroll until you find this line:

# Camera sound play enforced for SPR

ro.camera.sound.forced=1

and change to:

# Camera sound play enforced for SPR

ro.camera.sound.forced=0

If you also want to be able to toggle the sound in the camera menu, navigate to /system/csc, and select feature.xml.

Scroll to the "Camera" section, and change this line from this:

<CscFeature_Camera_ShutterSoundMenu>false</CscFeature_Camera_ShutterSoundMenu>

to this:

<CscFeature_Camera_ShutterSoundMenu>true</CscFeature_Camera_ShutterSoundMenu>

Save, exit,

Make sure permissions are set to: rw-r--r--,

and reboot.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] NickTv95:
yes happend
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] scoobmd:
Man, I must be doing something wrong.

I used ES file explorer to make the changes and rebooted twice but the sound is still there and the menu doesn't show the camera option either...

I am trying my hand at this instead of the apk I found.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] LMMT:
Make sure ES has root permission, and also make sure you are saving the updated file, before exiting. I'll try to do it from ES File explorer, in a little while, to see if I can make it work.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] LMMT:
Okay, I was able to follow this procedure, with ES File Explorer, also. I just made sure all of the "root" boxes were checked in settings.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] scoobmd:
Thanks for the help.

I confirmed the setting and everything where correct after a reboot, I wonder if installing that camera app to silence the sounds did something...
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] LMMT:
Not sure, but I do know people reported that the app from that other post, killed Spen, and lock screen sounds, too.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] slthree:
Using Root Explorer, when I try to tap on "build.prop" nothing happens.

There is a tiny yellow icon in the shape of a shield with a star on it on that line. What does that mean? Why won't it let me go in?

Thank You OP for the instructions. It worked.

I used RomToolbox Pro toget it done.

Hi,

My phone was working absolutely normal for about a year but suddenly yesterday morning I found it stuck on 'BLINKING SAMSUNG LOGO'. I left it on charge overnight. It was absolutely shocking and I did everything possible to wake it up but It didnt show up. I did Hard Reset a multiple times, tried to unplug USB cable, battery back and forth, but it was of no help.

I found this question on various forums but unfortunately, no one came up with a positive solution except replacing it under warranty. I came back to Pakistan and phone is it out of warranty so there is no possibility for that.

Yesterday, I performed STOCK ROM flash. Luckily I managed to put it WP 7 and so far it is working fine. Later I updated it through ZUNE and during a hour download/installation, I expected it to install WP 7.5 but it popped up the same logo again. I tried everything but problem remains the same. Im stuck on 8th step out of 9 i.e. restarting your phone. I flashed back again to 7, then tried again, but same logo appears back and blinks :(

It clearly seems like wp 7.5 has some software issues in the bootup. Is there any direct WP 7.5 ROM available on internet?

What else should I do to fix it?
