Android 2.1 Update NZ

aww stink... more pissing around from vodaphone and LG in NZ, I kinda hope 2degrees releases a android 2.1 for the android too though

 

I was just about to try the aussie one. Have you done so since the last post?

 

how would you go about installing the aussie one?

i didnt realise 2.1 differed from region to region

 

I tried using the LG update tool which said I'm up-to-date whivh, ofcourse, I'm not at version 1.6

 

Howdy,

Is your phone NZ new or parallel? I have a parallel and it is version V10C.

I am getting the same message or if the LG updater does work I get something like "model not supported for this update".
How do we install the Oz firmwares?

Thanks all....

 

I tried using the update program via my pc but it said there were no updates. I emailed Vodafone and they said the update was being delayed due to an issue and said maybe two weeks.

I have an nz phone from dick smith. I just typed this on my phone.

 

Hi,

What version is the software? It will come up when you use the LG updater programme. Mine V10C.

 

Hi,Did this just happen today?

Thanks

Oliver

 

Hi,
Also, di you have a SIM card in when updating?

 

Hi,

Cool. What firmware did the updat programme say your phone had? Mine is V10C and won't update.

 

Hi,
Cool. Can you remember what the old one was?

 

Hi,

Thanks. Mine is V10C so maybe it will happen soon....

New Zealand update available. Give yourself plenty of time at least an hour, use this as a guide LGMobile Phone S/W Updater

I did and have had no problems.

 

On a NZ bought phone from Vodafone

Firmware version now quoted as 2.1- update 1

Kernel Version
2.6.9
lg-electronics@si-rd10-ubld02#1
Thu DEC 2 18.48.38 IST 2010

Software version GT540-V20d-DEC-2010

All seems to work just fine. A slightly different look, new wallpapers, and re register to gmail, a bit smoother.
Had to start from scratch on a few things, ie dictionary, bookmarks. But no issues remember follow guide do back ups. No hassles, allow a good hour or 2, conversion only took about 20 mins, but customizing takes the time.

 

Hey guys.

I'm in New Zealand and trying to update to 2.1 from 1.6.
The LG updater software is still telling me there is no update available.
(On windows 7 64bit which has always given me no end of trouble!)

Does anyone know where to download the rom from so I can flash it myself?

 

Hi,
What software verision is in your phone now?
Mine is V10C and no update yet. V10A is happening and that is in some of the Kiwi new ones.
Might be a case of hanging on a few days and seeing...

 

Heya.

My software is V10A.

Sounds like if you buy one new from Vodafone at the mo it comes with 2.1?

I've been tempted to just install the Australian one and change my APN to suit but I might just wait a bit and see what comes up.

It could be my windows 7 64bit system as I've had so much trouble with the
updater program and the LG PC suite just refuses to work....
Might try it on a freind's XP box and see if I have any more luck.

If anyone know's how to get their hands on the NZ rom I'm all ears!

 

Hey,

I'm constantly trying to update my phone to 2.1, but it ain't workin for me. Software version is V10A, and Kernel version is 2.6.29.

Firstly, the LG PC Suite won't even detect my phone. Also the updater detects the phone, but halfway through the initial check (before I can even hit "Start Updating") it stops. The program doesn't freeze it just doesn't move forward - I've let it go for about 15 minutes but it still does nothing. It stops when it's checking the phone connection.
I've found if I quickly unplug it and plug it back in (I know it shouldn't), it continues to check everything else so I can start updating. But after that, the updater itself stops at 40% at the "Analysis" stage.

Can anyone help or give me some advice on what to do? I'm guessing this is probably an issue with my handset?

Thanks!
