Few questions from a newbie - LG Optimus 4X HD

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?

Or you could just wait for the official JB 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.

you're probably on south-east asia, the dealers from serbia & bosnia seem to be getting the phones from the same place, as i had 10e aswell.
as for official update, well, noone knows. LG hungary said it was gonna be on 25th (which was then reported by LG serbia & croatia), LG italy said the end of april, LG germany said by the end of the march, and checz LG said 2nd of april.

[Q] to US SGN owners who bought the POLISH ver from HANDTEC

i cant seem to update to 2.3.6.
where you able to update yours? how? OTA? KIES?
can anybody please point me to instruc on how to do it?
thanksalot in advance!!!
jeraldyne c",)
I think mine was the Polish version, and the update finally came through last night - through the phones updater.
thanks for the reply! c",)
did you have the EURO (unbranded) version or the PLUS (polish network) version?
I rooted mine, then put on a custom 2.3.6 ROM (Sheep ROM 1.2)
OTA. Unbranded unit
Initially update wouldn't go through so i went ahead and flashed back to stock from rooted status and applied the update and then root it again

I received mine from Handtec on November 30, got the OTA update the next day, and it installed fine. Have rooted since then, without difficulty.
It was in Polish when I started it up, but I have no idea what "Plus" version is.
My update is ready, but Im not updating till ICS, or the 1.5 4g lte working on t-mobile.

just wanna update to 2.3.6 for the battery usage issue with 2.3.5.
quick questions to the GURUS:
* can i just flash the HONG KONG ROM ZSKK1 (2.3.6) on mine?
* do i need ROOT for that?
would really appreciate the hand-holding! ;-)

I used Odin and a copy of the stock ROM to do just that. I was stuck in a mode where kies kept reporting that my phone wasnt supported for upgrades and changing my code to DBT made my phone find tge upgrade, but refuse to install it. I rooted at first and bricked it during a failed upgrade, so I used Odin to drop the HK ROM on it with success.

Yeah Im using the t-mobile hotspot right now, until I can figure something out.
'Edit' thinking of cancelling or lowering the internet package on my phone and just use the hotspot for now.
My hotspot plan is 2gb for $39.99
and my phone data plan is 2gb for $20.00

I got mine from Handtec yesterday (Dec 6th). Polish version unbranded. I was able to update via OTA. The update notification came through as soon as I connected to wifi.

[Q] ICS update not avaiable through Kies?

Hey everyone, just wondering if the update for the note through Kies is also regien dependent?
I'm US based and OTA update is not available so I tried using Kies but when I connect my note to the computer, it is still saying that my current fw is the lates (which is still GB2.3.6).
Any ideas? Thanks!

Oh ok! I thought that the update via Kies would be for all international versions of the note. Oh well, I guess I'll have to wait for at least a US release of ICS then.

Yup, my note is the international one. It's just that I'm based here in the US but I bought my note through Amazon. I'm not sure though where my note originally came from though...is there anyway to find out? Sorry for being such a noob, this is actually my first android phone.
Ok I looked underneath the battery, it only says Made by Samsung. I have the blue international (says in the box) but really, it looks black to me though a it does have a shade of blue to it. ^^
I have the ics update available via kies right now, although I'm scared top hit update since kies bricked my vibrant. My GNote came from Germany....think I should update? Or wait for the ota?
Hmm..if it's official via kies, it should be pretty safe. =)
If ever, I would think OTA updating would carry almosts the same risks updating via Kies would since you are updating to an official fw anyway.
Happy that you have it since you have a german made note, im hoping that the asian made ones (korea/china) would get released soon as well!
I caved in, I updated....couldn't wait for the ota So far, I love it! Running very smooth. It was a little laggy at first, so I did a factory reset and it's been perfect since. No issues. My quadrant seemed to drop though, don't know what that's all about.
I did read Germany GNotes are first, but I'm sure yours will be soon
Wow, glad you had no trouble updating! Enjoy ICS! =)
Thank you! Yeah I was super worried because I updated my vibrant to 2.2 on kies in December and it stopped in the middle of installing the update....it killed my vibrant But it looks like they completely redid kies, it's much nicer now. You're next Seraph

Can I flash the new DBT-Release from Germany on my ATO-Note? Or do I get in trouble with the product code? I read that there is a chance to loose the IMEI if the product codes do not match...
thx for help

how to force ota update

after flashback to my stock rom i cant get partial 7.6mb update
is there anyway that force phone to find update???
I think that you have to upgrade the stock rom manually by using KDZ-Updater. Make sure to backup your data and after upgrading , rest the factory for your mobile and wipe the cache partition >> Enjoy

when you check the http://csmg.lgmobile.com:9002/csmg/b2c/client/auth_model_check2.jsp?esn=XXXXXXXXXX (xxxxxx = your imei), does it tell you have the latest fw?
i 'forced' the update from here
I checked my phone for update via OTA but it didn't show i got an update. That was when i was on V10C but a friend of mine has already got V10E updated.
And sure enough this site has the V10E.

Was your friends 4X from the same countrie/region as your? may be 10e wasnt available for your region/countrie, and may be your phone is from network operator, they allways get updates a little later

Did your friend update via OTA.
I find this strange that some phones does not update via OTA. i think that if it doesnt find update, you should hard reset it, or you will never receive updates.

[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)

No survivors till now... they all died but, there is some kind of "artificial insemination" that make it re-born
Yes, you'll need to root it again but in V20A its easier, hope it works for the official one.
Just wondering the mess that it will be next week around here...
When V20A leaked, it was a new post every minute. with the official one out, Jesuuuuuusssssss!!! :angel:

Is the official upgrade out yet, is it, is it, is it
Also if it is does it still have the unlocked bootloader, or was that only a feature of the beta?
