swatko
you put this program hereGingerBreak_v1.20.apk(295.24 KB)
You go into it, press the root device and all the bodies will reboot and it is rutted. Yes, it is important that there was a flash drive. Then you put a root-explorer and go ahead !!!

[swatko]

zema1971,
Thank you very much! Everything turned out, literally in 20 seconds. It's strange that the program is so unknown :) Everything is so simple here, but on LG, o1 had to be more difficult ... With rollbacks to 2.2, recovery, etc. :)

[zema1971]

tomorrow I will sew custom recovery, found on the forum MODAKO.

Is there a need for it now? :) It seems there is nothing to put)

By the way, it would be necessary a program or a link to the messageLG Optimus Black - Firmware (Post # 7791832)add to the cap :) Ruth in a couple of clicks is cool :)

[netum]

After checking through "Settings - Software update - Check for software updates." Received message "Current versionnotis the last ". Before that I checked a couple of times, there were no updates. It seems somehow you can update" by air "?
UP: switched the language on the phone to "English (England)". Repeated procedure received in response "Current version is the latest version". Where is the truth?

No one knows when there will be firmware 2.3 on this device?

asked this question for LG support (via the communication form on the site) 06/10/2011, there is no answer to the mail, anywhere ...
A call by phone 8-800-200-76-76 gave the following results:
"Information on software update to Gingerbread 2.3 p970 phone, LG did not provide the Russian representative office, the dates for this update are not known, we recommend to send a request to LG customer service center, via the website"

ZY funny ....

I made an official request to the Russian service - the answer is below:
"There is no information on the development and timing of the release of new software for this model. You can follow the release of new products and software on the websitehttp://lg.com "
And when requested on the site it says - the update is available, but when you try to update - the latest version of the software is installed.
Call while hands do not reach.

Tell me please.
They brought me this devi, but he was locked up and wrote that only an emergency call.
No one knows by chance really unlock it according to the Samsung SGH-T959 / Vibrant principle in the example of thisfasting
Or maybe there is some other way?
Thank.

[Optimu $ Black]

Eric5, there was no such case ... you are the first. If you just try to change it and select the region of Russia, but I’m not sure. You should read the topic about optimizing 2x. Where are all the gurus of the forum?

[Eric5]

More precisely, the screen says: "Installed network lock SIM"
Tried different GSM operators the same result.

I want to try to solve
Who can not lay out a detailed description of the firmware of this phone?
P.S. I watched the video on YouTube there is nothing to see.
Thank.

Duplicate here ....

Does everyone have a software update? The fact is that I get an authentication error, and accordingly, it does not update anything and does not even say whether there is an update or not.
