Help Android 2.1 Update

Hmm, when the UK one comes out, will we be able to update to it? cause its a bit odd with Russian firmware, and im sure my warranty is voided. And we all know the LGUpdateTool won't help..


New Country-specific ROMs are coming out every day now. A UK one should drop soon.

A Greek one, French, another Baltics and Russian ones are available now.

Thanks mate, but i fixed it last night, about 45 mins after i bricked it, i tried using the LGUpdate Tool but it didnt work, so i kept trying with the KDZ updater and it worked! I think it worked because the LGUpdate Tool installed 2 new drivers and now it's working, i'll check out that English version. Thanks :D

We realy need more feedback from these rom's.
I wonder why it is not possible to revert back to 1.6 if anything goes wrong, does anyone know this? It's a bit risky to upgrade to 2.1 since many people are having problems with it and later cant downgrade to 1.6. I'm not upgrading till we have this issue solved :)
Does anyone have the original 1.6 firmware?

Right My feedback for the Aus Firmware v20c, is that it works fine, it was a little spastic for a while with it crashing and having major problems with the signal, but i reset the phone to defaults and its been fine since, my only problem i have with this firmware is now the lock screen has this stupid "emergency calls" button right above the slider, making it fairly easy for a false emergency call to happen quite easily, I wunno know how to get rid of the button but havnt found a way to do so yet!

Thats great news since the Australian v20c is one of the last firmwares.
I was thinking of flashing this one also.

Did it brand your phone maybe? Or is it a brandless firmware?
Are there any apps preinstalled?
Did you try rooting it?
Do Live Wallpapers work?

Thanks for the info :)
Ill list whats in the menu, coz i dunno if any of it is any "add-on"

App advisor, Browser, Calculator, Calendar,
Camera, Clock, Contactrs, Email, Facebook for LG,fm radio, gallery, google mail, home selector, java downloads, latitude, maps, market, media player, messaging, music, navigation, ndrive,phone,places,quickoffice,rss reader,settings,sim toolkit,talk,twitter for lg, video editor, voice recorder,voice search, youtube,

otherwise it was REALLY easy to root, i used a batch file from xda, and i havnt used the live wall paper feature, otherwise there is hand writing features enabled for text's/sms

Okay, this might seem like a silly question but...

I have a GT540F that I purchased through 3 Mobile here in Australia, can I still flash the phone to the V20C Australian ROM that's on here? What will I lose if I do so and what disadvantages do I have if I do flash it with the non Hutchison ROM?

Would It be better to wait till the 3 Mobile 2.1 ROM comes out?
