[Q] ICS for Hong Kong P990?! - LG Optimus 2x

I am STILL on gingerbread. The update tool says I don't need to update. What is wrong? I thought LG said updates will be aroun second quarter last year?
Is it just my phone?

LG only released the official ICS update for specific regions, and Hong Kong might not be on the list.
You can still easily flash a V30b kdz for the P990, or better yet, root your phone and get a true Jelly Bean ROM (CM10) on it.
You're lucky to get GB... in my country they're still stuck on FROYO.

[Q] Device not registered yet

When I try to check for updated via OTA it says device not registered yet. Did anyone saw this message ? Where the hell do I need to register?
ps: even that some operators are already selling the p880 here in brazil, the oficial lauch of this phone will be on this wednesday. Could that even possible be related to this error message?
When you manually flash .kdz files, most likely the file is not from your country. The only way to get it back is by using LG software and repair your phone to your country's firmware.

he phone update itself (not via OTA because it didnt worked for me) to the latest firmware by CHECKING YOUR IMEI. It means that if your firmware is EURO for example, and you install Asian firmware for example, it wont update to the latest Asian firmware, but to the latest EURO firmware because it will check your imei, not the firmware you have. =(

Thats normal.
They have somehow a kind of data base where are the produced devices.
To detect the latest firmware based in the installed firmware, they need to have some "tool" to search "inside" of each device. Like that java tool from nVidia to search the last drivers for example...
And if we want official we should leave the phone like it cames from factory, official... If we mess with FW and other stuff we can not expect that official support guesses what we've done or what we want...
Some persons opinion is that the official should give the latest original firmware, in case of need to go back to original. Others, that it should give the latest firmware based on the installed...
Allways someone complains cause its hot, or cause its raining, or because its cold... The perfection to everybody just don't exist

Yeah, i think they should check by checking your FW not IMEI. Thats sad because im nver gona receive the updates I want, only if I go back to stock FW or update via KDZ, but thats not a simple easy task to do all the time.

No. updateing via KDZ is easy, but doing everytime would be like pain in the ass (from 10c to 10d , then 10e etc etc etc), because everytime i would have to do backups and start all over again, since I wouldnt have OTA updates, nor LG Suite updates.

Why the need of all that process?
You can update from V10A straight to V10F...
I thing that LG Suite, once that is configured with european settings, should give you the updates to the european version.
But for now I don't expect updates in a very near future...

Mine works. Never receive the update though. But it doesn't say Device is not registered yet, instead it tells me that I'm using the latest OS.
I'm using Open Europe v10h, while my stock should be v10e Indonesia.
What I did when flashing the kdz is this: I tried updating the usb driver tool, in that application, I chose United Kingdom as my home country. When it's done updating, I flashed the kdz. The reason I did this is to be able to update to JB on the go, if that thing ever hits O4X.
what about wifi? why did u scrape off model? do u have F180L?

Dude, I think you're asking in the wrong room, this room is for Optimus 4X HD.
Anyway, assuming our devices run the same, you can always revert back to your original ROM by flashing it manually through KDZ updater or something like that.
The message telling your device isnt registered has got nothing to do with your phone performance, only you wont be able to get OTA update (which you can always manually flash)

[Q] Which country will I get the update from?

I have a 2x bought in Spain but with the latest UK stock rom and a UK sim because it's where I live. I try every day to check for new updates but it finds none saying I'm updated to the last version.
Will I get the update when it's released in the UK or when Vodafone Spain releases it?

Most probably you will get it from Spain, since updates are related to your phones IMEI and baseband!

Fortunately, all official ROMs are multilingual, so I suggest these few hints to get official ICS on your phone. It works very well, I use it untill CM10 and CM10.1 get the calls right.

I used option 2, for rooting, it works like a charm
Good luck and merry christmas.

Few questions from a newbie

First of all i bought my first Android phone about 10 days ago, so I'm new to this world. I want to update my P880 to jelly bean, but I'm too paranoid to use root. The update should be out by now, so my question is: is it really out, and if it is can i update my phone directly without my pc suite? Also, i want to Know if there is a way to flash a rooted phone to the original version?

You don't need root to flash.
You can re-flash your original room.
Read more about root, battery drain and how to flash.
There are several methods, choose the best depending on your needs.
Be sure that you know what you're doing before you start.

Nope, the official release isn't here yet. And yes, you don't need your PC to update your phone providing that you have decent Internet connection. You can always go OTA, it's available right in your phone setting.
As of flashing a rooted phone, you can actually unroot it, without the hassle of reflashing your phone . There's a feature in the app for you to do so.
Anyway, you don't need to root your device to get JB, just download the kdz and flash it with kdz updater. The walk through is in general thread. A word of caution though, rolling back to ICS might be quite a task.
Btw, what regional rom are you on now?

Wrong, go back to ICS is easier as any other flash. The difference is that needs to be done with LGFlash Tool. Takes about 5 minutes, less than with kdz.

I've asked on LG's facebook and they stated there are currently no plans to update the P880g.
What really ticks me off is that, now that the P880 has an officially-unlocked bootloader, any work that was done over the past year to unlock it is now dead. Those efforts could have let us put our own custom ROMs on the phone.
I don't care if LG or the Canadian carriers don't want to put JB on the P880g, but at least unlock the bootloader before abandoning it to obsolescence.

Agreed. LG doesn't care, abandoned it in the Canadian market, only to focus on their optimus G. Too bad because I like LG's designs. Never getting another LG smartphone.
I just found some cause for optimism: LGE Canada stated this in a Facebook comment on May 21:
"Jelly Bean will be available for this device. You can stay updated at: http://www.lg.com/ca_en/support-mobile/lg-LGP880G"
A link to the comment (apologies for being mobile): https://m.facebook.com/LGCanada/posts/10151924019794377?_rdr
This is particularly interesting since before now, LG had been stating there were no plans to release any updates. Something seems to have changed their minds.
Since my P880g is a developer version, I can't receive updates either OTA nor through the LG Suite (they don't accept my IMEI). So I have no way to check the availability of any update, other than checking the KDZ scanner sites. If anyone with a P880g gets a software update, please let us know!

I emailed LG Canada a while back, asking for any more info:
I'd like to know if an update to Android 4.1 (Jelly Bean) will be released for the LG P880G phone. Most other Optimus 4X variants worldwide seem to have the update available, but frustratingly the Canadian variant does not.
Most information found online suggests there is no intention to make the update available, however a statement made by LG Electronics Canada on its Facebook page claims otherwise (https://www.facebook.com/LGCanada/posts/10151924019794377). No new information has come out since, and one is left to wonder whether that statement was in error.
Any clarification would be much appreciated!

What really gets me is that they won't even outright say there will be no update. They're being intentionally vague. And now I have no idea why the earlier Facebook comment stated so clearly that there would be an update... I don't think lying would really be in their best interest.

Official 4.2.2 update is only available to Taiwan region only specifically .709. Wait for your region to have an update. 1.29.401.16 is currently the latest official software available for your region.
Thanks for reply. But I have another question. I saw some videos about the 4.2.2 update on YouTube and I don't understand what I actually saw. I thought it was the official update but was it something unofficial? Can someone please clarify?

The update is being rolled out per region. The video was probably from someone in Taiwan or someone running a custom ROM.
We will probably get the update in europe in the next couple of days.
