[Q] New firmware released? - Optimus One, P500, V General

I heard that version V10C is released, but I couldn't find any update using LG PC Suite IV with my phone connected.
Anyone upgraded already and how?

No update from LG PC Suite IV for me too.
Here they speak about a V10C they had installed too
http://forums.hardwarezone.com.sg/showthread.php?p=50128685
but no other information or download link is available. May be it is a release for some region only.

I guess this is the donwload link:
http://csmg.lgmobile.com:9002/swdata/WEBSW/LGP500/ANEUBK/V10c_00/V10C_00.kdz
You update it using KDZ_FW_UPD: http://www.mediafire.com/?6do22vdco203d0y
Using the option 3GQCT DIAG.
I did that sucessfully for a Vodafone branded P500 flashing the unbranded V10A:
http://csmg.lgmobile.com:9002/swdata/WEBSW/LGP500/APRTBK/V10a_00/V10A_00.kdz
I will try flashing mine with V10C tomorrow,because I don't have time today...
If you are afraid of flashing the V10C,try flashing the V10A and "ask" for updates...mine told me about V10B "Vodafone"...but since I have V10B vodafone,I guess it won't tell me about V10C,because it is the unbranded version...
Use at your own risk..

10A-B-C are same kernel V. but differ region release ?
another one flash B to C and has no differ or update
need changelog =_=

Tried to flash V10C to my phone and gave me error,as the phone only went to emergy mode,I "changed it" for a new one,because I was in the 14 day exchange warranty.
Flashed the new one to V10a,and it only show V10B (vodafone) as update...nothing about v10c.

Hey all
I successfully updated my p500 to v10c.
I used kdz_fw_up in english, windows enabler and the kdz provided in this thread.
I started kdz, "read phone information", 3GQCT DIAG, selected the kdz and strated the update.
Halfway through it, it popped an runtime error, i ignored it and let it continue. It finnished the update and only after the update was finnished I pressed the "OK" button in the error dialog causing the application to close. I was using WinXP SP3.
Phone went to emergency mode, removed battery to turn off, placed the battery again, switched on and...... V10c!

I am staying with the unbranded v10a,the keyboard is much better than the stock one on the V10b "vodafone pt"

It was a branded V10B for "Optimus PT"

OH YES! It worked ......
I tried the 3 versions (a, b, c) ... but I can't see any difference .... kernel is the same, errors are the same :-(

Have you tried with D version ?
I just flashed mine (stock LG cell) with this one, and no problems of kernel anymore.

I have following versions:
V10d (ARUSSV) от 18.10.2010 - Russia.
V10d (ACISSV) от 25.10.2010 - CIS.
In the first one there is English, but no Deutsch.
May be you could select it using MoreLocale.
Do you need it? Get here http://4pda.ru/forum/index.php?showtopic=195545
Or just ask me to reupload somewhere.

This is V10d (ARUSSV) от 18.10.2010 - Russia.
http://narod.ru/disk/594135001/V10D_00.kdz.html
it has English, Russian, and using MoreLocale2 you can choose main European languages, Chinese too.

was getting real annoyed with the random LGMITS force stop errors and forced me to consider flashing. no updates found if i use the conventional pc suite method.
I successfully flashed mine from unbranded v10b (i bought my unit locally here in the philippines) to v10c using kdz updater. never encountered any error at all.
when phone rebooted, all my apps were still there as well as my customizations. the only thing different is my phone got unrooted (missing Super User Icon) which I remedied via running z4root again.
I checked settings > about phone and verified version was indeed v10c now.
i connected my phone to lg pc suite 4 and it said there was an update available??? curiously, i let it try to update but as soon as the LG Mobile Support Tool was invoked by PC Suite, it said I already have the latest version (v10c) and stopped at that. Weird.
Anyway, haven't seen the LGMITS force close errors yet, so hopefully this f/w works for me.
UPDATE: started getting the LGMITS errors again. argh!

In these days my O1 should comes back from service (IMHO the GSM reception was very bad). On the LG service site they write "Repaired" and "Operation executed: software update". So, I think we could clarify something about the various V10x versions as soon a read the new version installed on my O1...though I have the suspect to still see "V10A" (like before send the phone to the service)...IMHO it is not possible that the problem was a SW problem, otherwise I should not be the only one with a very bad network reception...
We will see.

LG E730(Optimus SOl) Unable to Downgrade

Hi,
My optimus SOl came with v10e SW version.I downgraded it to v10b vodafone since newer baseband were not supported by CM7&9.Yesterday i dropped it in water and now my speaker is not working.So i want to give it to company bcoz still it is in warranty.So i downloaded v10e and flashed it.My device booted up and i also created google account but suddenly i got black screen of crash dump.Now after every 2 or 3 minute it gives me such crash dump.I can't give my device to company in this condition.Plz suggest me solution.I also hard reseted it and reflashed 3 times.
Follow the guide here which is on 10th post
http://forum.cyanogenmod.com/topic/...cyanogen-mod-on-your-optimus-sol/#entry306754
I tried it.There was no problem with v10b Vodafone but v10b no brand and v10e(My stock firmware) still have that problem.

Bricked vodafone 890n?

Hello there,
i have a smartphone vodafone 890n and recently after of an official update of the stock rom my phone keeps rebooting at the system recovery screen...the only thing that i can do is to get it only in fastboot mode..
I did a hard reset aswell but there is no changes on it,everytime that i power it on boots into the system recovery mode...
even the sdcard doesnt work...
any change to fix it? my phone has no root,was in the original state!
OTA update failed -> vodafone 890n bricked
Hello Filippos86,
judging by your nickname, I guess it was the Greek version of the vodafone android (4.4.265.21.T3.141007.KTU84P.VF.GR). I got the same problem. After I have agreed to an over-the-air update (which was annoyingly popping up for a month or so) the phone got bricked the way you describe. By the way the update has not applied due to some permission errors, as the messages were stating.
Did you manage to have it fixed somehow? Did you take it to a vodafone shop? I am abroad for the moment so I don't have this option.
Thanks in advance
P.S. A friend of mine has an updated version (4.4.317.16.T3.150915.KTU84P.VF.GR) installed. He is a bit older and he could not understand what I was talking about. Obviously updated without realizing, but it works for him. Theoretically that is the version that I should have had after the update.
Hi
I need a Greek rom too.
The vodafone stores want 18 euro to flash a rom.
I want to do it for free
Please if you find a Greek rom let me know.
Have you find a greek rom?Please help me...

Current version is not available for user. can't find matched cust for NT-code mcc/mn

hello. on vodafone firmware 10d, i try to flash firmware kdz ver. 10e from wind or 10g from tim italy, but that is the advertisement i have after flashing and second reboot. i reset already but at every reboot the same advertisement. when i click on OK, the phone boots, but i want remove this error. can anyone tell me if is possible??
i use lg up
thanks
That's been covered plenty of times in the G5 (and even G3) forums, for example here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/g4/help/lg-h815p-fix-matched-cust-nt-code-mmc-t3336034

http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=67223982&postcount=73
If you use the search you'll find even more threads with it.
doesn't work the hidden menu access
with TWRP or root file explorer, navigate to root/cust and delete all folder content then reboot
you'll see message will no longer show up after reboot
i am not rooted
with no root there is no way as far as I know
hi, can you tell me where you found the v10g kdz? i only managed to find the wind v10e (and doesn't solve the direct sunlight issue)
thank you (anche in pm se vuoi)
v10g KDZ is only for some carriers
note: the base is kind of the same for lets say v10d OPEN EUR kdz and v10g carrier kdz, so thinking that installing v10g carrier branded version does not mean you are more updated then v10d OPEN EUR
Thank you!
I went to sell my G5 today, and the shop refused to buy it because of that pop-up on boot.
Just curious though, now I have erased the folder, what would happen if I -
a) Unroot
b) Relock the bootloader
I am on a global stock rom V-20v I believe.
I want my Virgin Moble UK G5 to think it's H3G in order to get WiFi calling to work. So instead of deleting all the files in '/cust' I updated op_list.cfg & cust_path_mapping.cfg by adding the missing MCC/MNC code from the error message and pointing them to the same place as the H3G entries, in my case
'23430,FF=/OP/H3G_COM'.
The phone now boots up without the 2 error messages (OP name by Buyer Code & Current version is not available) but I get the 'Buyer Code' message a few minutes after booting.
I'm not sure if changing the files, or deleting them is best. But with the files updated, looking at the Global Settings via ADB shows that wfc_ims_enabled=1

[SOLVED] Flashing a KDZ fails on H860 using LGUP and LGFlashTool

Hi everyone,
I am not able to flash a "Middle East" KDZ for H860 over my phone which is H860 but with Taiwan Stock ROM. The phone is new; no rooting, no oem unlock, nothing. The current ROM version is 10e and I want to flash the AME KDZ which is basically 10g.
Using the patched version of LGFlashTool v2.0.1.6, I get an error "(S) Failed to Load". Using LGUP v1.14, the phone is recognized as H860, it restarts into download mode and gets to 9% (which is starting to send the KDZ to phone) and then it give an error msg:
Error: Error Code = 0x81000304
CBasicFlash::_func_LoadGPTF - ErrorCode:8224
I am working on a Windows 10 PC with all the drivers installed and I can access the phone through ADB, Fastboot, LG Bridge, with no issues. The only issue is that I am not able to flash the KDZ although it is for the same model H860.
I have tried a different PC and a re-downloaded the KDZ directly from LG's website. Same issues.
PS: In LGUP, I tried: Refurbish and Upgrade options.
Does anyone have any suggestions?
UPDATE: I tried flashing a Singapore KDZ for H860 as well and it gave the same errors.
This forum is not as useful as it used to be once upon a time. Disappointed.
Try with LG support tool from LG
Please update me with this case. I have twn vrsion also bought from one of the online shop in dubai and i want to flash also the uae kdz. thanks

Thanks for the suggestion. The LG support tool does not work with my version of LG G5 (I am not sure if it works with any G5 at all), it says that I need to use LG Bridge instead because LG Support Tools does not support my phone.
However, I tried the "Recovery" option in LG bridge, but it checks the IMEI and decides that my phone needs the latest Taiwan rom instead of what I want (which is UAE).

I already got the the newest version of LG UP. The phone is recognized, but it does not proceed with the upgrade properly.
This is how it was solved:
I believe that the issue was with the LG UP Store version. This is what I did:
1. Installed LG UP LAB v1.1.
2. Installed the H850DLL msi file.
3. Created a folder named C:\Program Files (x86)\LG Electronics\LGUP\model\H860
4. Copied the H850.DLL file from C:\Program Files (x86)\LG Electronics\LGUP\model\H850 to the new folder
5. Renamed the file LGUP_H850.DLL to LGUP_H860.DLL
6. Everything went on smoothly !!
The only error I get now is at startup "current version is not available for user. can't find matched cust for nt-code mcc/mnc subset" which I have not dug into but it does not bother me.
By the way @engineer000, most of the online stores in UAE suck!!

Where did you bought yours? I bought from Yallashop.
Where are you seeing that error? As your phone startup? How about using the proper DLL on the guide and flash it again?
it seems to be related to different customizations. i don't know if flashing tW version will stop it. but this stopped me from flashing a AE fw

You can eliminate the error by reflash the phone with LG bridge (can download officially from LG). In "Software update" tab, there's "Update error recovery" which will automatically download the official firmware for your G5 and of course, the annoying startup error message will go away.

I am afraid that it might download the software based on the IMEI and then my phone will be back to Taiwan software instead of the AME currently installed.

Two G5s, one has OTA updated to Oreo, the other hasn't

I'm puzzled ...
I have two G5s (the wife uses one), both are UK, carrier-free, and seem to be identical. One has OTA updated to Oreo, the other hasn't and shows no inclination to do so. There is one difference though, they run/ran slightly different versions of Nougat:
The one that updated was previously running v20v-EUR-XX. The one that won't runs v20r-234-10. I don't know what that build is. It has previously received incremental updates to Nougat with no problem. Is it somehow an invalid region to receive an Oreo update?
Both phones were bought used, so I don't know their exact history.
If it's not going to update OTA then I will try flashing the update. TBH there's almost too much information here about flashing ROMs - I'd like to know the simplest way to flash a stock ROM, I don't want a rooted phone (been there, done that, fun, but banking apps etc. I depend on won't run). My desktop & laptop run Linux, so Windows-based tools won't help (unless they'll run under Wine ).
TIA to anyone who can help me out here.
LG H850 Oreo Update
ONLY LG H850(GBR) and H850 (VDF) received the Oreo Update.
Thanks, so what region is 234-10? Doesn't seem to correspond to any listed ROMs.
Any pointers to the best simple no-frills flash guide?
Looks like yours have branding, check which operator folder you got in "cust" folder.
Thanks for the hint.
The cust folder contains stuff on all UK operators. I don't entirely understand how this info works, but in op_list.cfg is the line 23410,O2=/OP/TLF_COM, which I guess means it was originally O2 branded. There's no trace of anything O2 on it now, but it would have originally shipped with AOS 6, and had already received 7 when I got it. That upgrade probably dropped anything specific to O2.
Is there any way to hack this so it appears to be running generic EUR software, or do I have to manually flash it to get 8?
Thks
There is GB euro open version but when I tried on my EE g5 it install french orange "jeus" app plus crap from Vodafone Romania, on the top of that you will get pop up error every time you restart your mobile about wrong customisation or something like that , other than that I loved oreo. Because of above I revert back to original ee software and just checking for update. G5 is not my primary phone so I don't have pressure about. EE was always slow on updates so this is normal in that case,not sure about other UK operators.
The EUR-XX build runs OK on my other G5, it updated OTA. This phone with O2 region code is not on O2 any more - I don't think it was ever carrier locked, but must have been bought from O2 originally. So even if O2 builds do update OTA, presumably it will only happen if they've got O2 SIMs in - I don't really follow how all this stuff works!
How did you install the ROM you tried out? I'm still trying to understand what the various tools being touted actually do.
I have the same problem.
I have an H850 with an unlocked bootloader and rooted.
There is no OTA update.
When I check on https://imei.guru/ I get:
Model: LGABCD
Region: ABC
When I check on https://proimei.info/en/checker/lg I get:
SUFFIX AO2UTN
BUYER O2U
BUYERNAME O2
I can try LG Bridge but I don't want to cause any issues since I'm rooted and the bootloader is unlocked.
Do I ned to use LG UP instead? And will I lose my data?
Any suggestions very welcome.
Thanks
As you're already unlocked and rooted, it should be a simple matter to flash a new system ROM. AFAIK you won't have to lose data. It's when you unlock the boot loader that it wipes all data.
In my case I don't have root, and I don't want a rooted phone after an upgrade. I'd prefer not to have to wipe and restore if possible too, but I can't work out how to do that.
I downloaded kdz and flashed with lg up, you can try if you really want oreo before O2 release. In worse case you can wait, and it doesn't matter what sim is in the mobile, when update is ready you will receive notification, I got different sim in my old g5 and previous updates was downloaded and installed without any problems.
Ah, thanks for that, maybe I'll just wait for O2 to get their act together! I can't use LGUP as I don't run any Windows machines, I'm all Linux. The closest I can get is XP running in a VM, but even though I can map a USB port into the VM it still doesn't recognize either of my devices. Uppercut doesn't help either .

Which LG UP did you use?
Because this thread recommends not using LG UP and using UPPERCUT instead.
However, VirusTotal shows lots of issues:
https://www.virustotal.com/#/file/d...366b6643a5922cd3b09a3b1a9296b8c0a8f/detection
and so I would prefer to use LG UP instead, if it's compatible with H850.
Thanks
I can't remember exactly which LGUP I used, I tried a couple. A bit worrying about the virus reports in uppercut, one advantage of running in a VM, I can always just trash the image and go back to the previous state.
As I understand uppercut, it doesn't replace LGUP, just tries to fix some device detection issues then launches LGUP to do the actual update. But that still didn't work

Hi,
I used version 1.14.3 (apparently this is the latest).
I flashed my g5 H850 several times as I wasn't sure if this bloatware from VDF Romania and french operator Jeux wasn't a issue of incorrect files. After all exercises i back to original EE soft.
All that with LG UP. I tried to use uppercut but my antivirus report as well on this so I don't bother and just use LG up.

Thank you.
Did you use the LG UP from here: https://forum.xda-developers.com/lg-g5/development/uppercut-lgup-loader-g5-variants-t3511295
Because I that's the version I used but unfortunately on my PC it cannot detect my phone.
I'm not sure from where I downloaded, when I was looking for latest version I just search through google. Are you sure you have all drivers installed? Did you plug in your phone in download mode?

Ah - helpful tip! Because of the other messing around I'd been doing, it was in debug mode, D'oh I've got further, but still baulking.
From other threads re. XP and VMs, I found I needed to install an XP USB 3 driver, and switch to a USB virtual port in the VM. With all that, launching LGUP 1.14 via Uppercut the phone is detected and I can start an upgrade process.
It reboots the phone, which then displays the Firmware Update screen, but stays resolutely on 0%. LGUP shows "Build : U" as the step with progress at 4%. After 11 minutes it times out with a popup saying "Error: 0x2000 [ERROR] RX Timeout : 3.0". The barely readable little console window on the phone starts off with some info about the phone, then changes to simply "633E 1B00" after a couple of minutes.
I've tried using both physical USB 2 & USB 3 ports on the PC.
Any ideas?
Thks
Try to use lg up without uppercut, maybe your pc is a bit slow on vm. Once i startet flashing with lg up the whole process take about 5 min. Do you have hdd or ssd on your pc? Also check if there is no restriction for vm regarding size, make sure drive space is big enough. Also try to assign at least 2gb of ram for vm and if you have multi core cpu try to assign at least two cores. I believe if you will tweak settings on your vm it should be good to go. Check for vm tools update if needed update to latest.
LGUP without Uppercut doesn't work, it won't recognise the device. That's the only reason I downloaded Uppercut to start with.
I'm pretty convinced it's a USB connectivity problem. When the phone reboots there's no USB, then the USB interface comes up again, and LGUP has to continue talking to it in firmware-update mode. There are issues with the way the USB device is being captured by the VM. For some reason the MTP interface is still exposed to the host even though VBox says it's captured by the guest. In VBox terms this shouldn't happen, an interface is either accessible to the host, or is mapped to the guest and invisible to the host.
MTP is a bit of a weird beast though, and I think there's some black magic going on with the way this Linux (Ubuntu 18.04) is grabbing MTP devices. I've been trying to turn off every rule relating to Vendor 1004, Device 633e, as well as defaults, but it still has some magic default that means it spots an MTP device. I'm sure this is blocking proper communication through to the XP guest OS.
I shall keep tinkering ...
Well, I got it to work! I could not stop the host from seeing the USB interface, no mater how much of MTP I disabled, but the solution was to disconnect and re-connect the USB device to the VM, after the phone rebooted into flashing mode and LGUP was waiting to re-connect. I did it a couple of times, second time the connection to LGUP succeeded, and flashing completed in 3 - 4 mins.
Well that's it done on my spare slightly-broken test phone - I collect these things! - (took it from AOS 6 to 8), now to take a deep breath and do it on my real device I depend on. Time to back everything up again
