No service after the official update - LG Optimus 4X HD

Hello!
After the official update to V20A from V10H, I can no longer connect to my operator in sweden.
My baseband version show "Unknown", so I have tried re-updating the phone through LG Support Tool, and doing a factory reset with no success.
Is there anyone else experiencing this problem?
It's not a faulty sim card. And this seems to be a common problem occurring on several LG devices.
(Also, the LG Support Tool is still showing my version as V10H)

Just tried the "Recovery Phone" in LG Support Tool, didn't work.
Although the support tool can read my phone's IMEI.

Be sure that you have a official V20A, flash it with LGFlash Tool, here you find all you need:

Thanks for the suggestion!
I flashed as you suggested, but the IMEI is still "Unknown" when going back to V20A.
V10H works flawlessly though, and I can connect to my operator.

But you flash the V20A with those files? They the official euro_open...
You used LGFlash Tool? Cause will do the cleanest install...
BTW, from where is your phone?

Yes, I followed each step and successfully flashed the image.
My phone is bought in sweden, and as I said, V10H works great and I'm able to see my IMEI.

Yeah, I had a similar problem with my Galaxy Gio, also with a Tele2Comviq sim card (Not the one I'm using now though).
So if someone with Tele2Comviq could confirm that their phone is working fine with this update, that would be great!

Just flashed the *.kdz file for my IMEI from LG's website, didn't work.

Oh well, could be worse! For now I'll have to stay with V10H, and hope for the best!
At least JB is out and hopefully the sources will be out soon.

Hi, nvflash means back to stock. Nvflash should bring you to stock with no root, recovery, nothing at all... I guess, in order to remove Cwm, is to use nvflash.
Here's a thread of mine on how to flash back to stock
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1127849
Mh, thank you all for the answers, but my big problem is that I need the 1&1 branding in the rom. And I really don´t know how to get it (on a stock rom).

What does the 1&1 branding look like? Only knew unbranded and Vodafone-branded firmware, thought that 1&1 distributes the unbranded 2X

I can only get into de SW Upgrade mode when I plug the phone with the battery on it, Is it really important to do it with the battery off?

Error message when trying to update with LG Updater

Hi everyone!
First of all, sorry if this as been asked, tonight my Google skills didn't help me find an answer.
A friend of mine owns a LG Optimus 2X (P990) bought from Fido in Canada. Currently she's on Gingerbread and would like to update to ICS (which is the latest stock rom available from what I read)
She wouldn't get the software update OTA so she tried downloading the LG Updater software from LG directly. The software detects the phone and says an update is available.
At some point, a popup appear suggesting to make a backup. So far, everything is fine. Once the backup is done and she click the "Start upgrade" button, she gets this error message : "An Unsupported operation has been attempted"
Anyone ever seen this before? Is there a way to upgrade her phone without using the LG software?
Since it's not my own phone, I would prefer not rooting it.
If rooting is really the only solution? What would be a good guide to read to do the update? (I did read a few sticky posts... 1 is the all in one tool kit... it explains each feature, but is not really a guide and I still have some questions unanswered after reading it. The other guide I read, the download links are broken)
Thank you

you can use AIO tool, it is too easy to work with it, just follow instruction and install correct bootloader and thats it.

What would be the right steps?
Use option #4 to repartition the device for ICS and then option #7 to flash the ICS stock rom?

Alright, that didn't help at all.
First of all, I wanted to flash a stock ROM... the guide tells us to install CWM and we got stuck at the part where we have to flash the ROM because it would seem CWM won't take the KDZ (or bin/fls) files.
Now we can go to the SW Upgrade mode without the battery, but the smartflash utility time out after 3 minutes and end on an error.
We can also go to CWM with the battery... but with no apparent way to flash a stock rom.
We're stuck at the moment.
Edit : So in the end we flashed only the BIN file instead of both BIN and FLS. No more errors and the phone rebooted correctly under ICS! Yay!

It's fixed! We didn't flash the FLS file (which would be the baseband?) but the phone still booted properly and connected properly to the cell phone provider.

T-Mobile OTA Lollipop

Using the kdz method wipes you'll phone clean which I can't do.

I just downloaded the official tmobile today, however I will have to revert back to stock etc to get it to flash unless someone knows another way...right now I am on stock kitkat rom with root and unlocked bootloader no special rom or anything like that, but when it trys to install it goes to twrp then I get error about Books.odex contains unexpected files. So I guess do I have to revert all the way back to stock first?
Update Online
Looks like you can update via PC if you have not gotten the OTA notice...

Is there a way to keep root while upgrading ??....isn't there an app that does that ???
Update via PC
I tried to update my D41510E and got the message that "Only WIreless Upgrades Are Supported On This Phone". T-Mobiles own page says the PC upgrade should work. Bummer!
UPDATE: Its working. I clicked on the 'recovery' button and it started the update to Lollipop. At 92% now... we'll see how it goes.

Imei Problem

Hey guys, I need some help here... I've flashed my R1HD and selected the format all + download option , obviously I bricked my phone,:silly: finally I could bring it back to live (with the preloader of the 6.6 version and the files of the 6.4 version) but in the process the IMEIS were erased and I haven't been able to restore them. I've tried 8 different methods and still they're null so if anyone knows a method that actually works in this especific model (tasted) or send me a twrp back up of your system to check I'm not missing some file... I would be Thankfull. :fingers-crossed:

Oh so you didn't use preloader from 6.6 maybe the 6.6 safe rom preloader then. Either way that's good that it works with spft.
I tested with it and did two walk through with people who did format all. They both said now there eimi problem was solved. I was able to make my imei show as different numbers but my db file wasn't formated like there's. That's why I included the device db file.
Also as side note the 7.4. update changes database files again but not the imei. to add band 12

So how did you restore the IMEI. My phone has a 15 digit IMEI but the tool only accepts 14 digit.
Edit: NEVERMIND. Didn't read the first link. I suggest everyone do so. It explains the 15th digit!
