I think you should roll back in order to get the firmware update.

im getting "LG update for Windows Phone" at the moment. Are you referring to this?

So you're saying that even if i successfully upgraded to Mango (coming from the beta 2) i have to roll back to NoDo in order to upgrade the firmware, right?
Is it a guess or something certain?
p.s.: could you tell me how to roll back (i've made the backup when i installed the beta)?

from what i'm seeing , by right you should get a LG update last . after you get all the updates to RTM . hmm .
if you didnt then i'm not sure why and hopefully someone in xda can capture the LG update and make it into a cab or something that we can easily install on our phones .

i first received the final 7720 firmware build, then beta cleanup bundle, and finally the LG update which i described in this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1279975

Can anyone post up their updated phones firmware version numbers and also what your fps are on the fish tank test.
I got an LG update message from Zune and updated my phone from Mango RTM but the version numbers stayed the same?
Sent from my Mango

I would love for someone to do this, as I'm unable to install the "LG Update" (error 801812dc) with no known solutions.

i saw on some forum and users are reporting that their firmware version got updated to 1.0.6.10

about page

after mango update. updated from rtm without having to downgrade. after update compass working, internet connection sharing enabled by default

bluetooth is still ****.

Wait you're saying that you can use InternetSharing on you LG Optimus7??? Screenshot or anything that proofs it?!
Kind regards

I took a photo of the phone's firmware before the LG update and I'm pretty sure it was 1.1.2.10
I can't check at the moment as I'm in the office but I'll have another look when I get home later.
EDIT: I'm back home and have checked the photo again and your right the firmware was 1.0.2.10 so it did get updated, guess I shouldn't have had those beers last night :-D

oh man . mine is still running 1.0.1.10 . which is like ancient . Z

YES. I love the Optimus 7 exceept bluetooth. My blackberry has 10000x better bluetooth.

Ugh, I'd really love for someone to either grab the files and put them in a cab with instructions, or tell me how to do it. Otherwise, I'm going to have to send my phone back to the manufacturers to be fixed.

Updating Docomo Sharp SH-06E

Hi there,
I just wondering, is it possible to upgrade to the latest (software/firmware/OS) SH-06E outside Japan? can I just update it like ordinary android phone by OTA using wifi?
thanks before

Cannot update
Hi,
I am using Sharp SH-06E and below is the update from the Seller regarding upgrades:
"The Docomo software updates cannot be done on the phone unless connected to Docomo network
Only the Android OS files can be downloaded from Sharp's site after they are released for the next version OS
Cheers!
Reddevil_sen

Try this
Hi @wilto,
I had a chat with the Seller i bought my Sharp phone from and there is ab app that can be used to update.
UpAny(SHARP OTA outside Japan)
Use this app and update the phone.
NOTE: I upgraded successfully and the only change I see is the Build number change from 1.0.0.6 to 1.0.0.10
Android version and Kernel version are still the same
Cheers :good:
Reddevil_sen

hi
i am using the docomo x sh-06E outside the japan, its perfect in all ways but issue which i am facing is that the Conference Call/ Multi call (3 or more callers in same time) featured is no enable, pertinent to mentioned here that the said service has been activated by the provider, and its working properly in other handsets.
solution required please.
thanks

Update: LG V500N U carrier Android 10 beta OTA

Grab it while you can!!! Here it is:
https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/1z8tLelF332kVfnE3Gi6zNH8oWCjeUE63
:good::highfive:
Waiting for crossflashing maybe this month we will have it. :highfive:
Do not try to crossflash! It will brick! First we must have working crossflashing between carriers, then crossflash to U carrier firmware , then flash this OTA.

Có ai thử chưa nhỉ?
Did anyone try?

I tried to fota flash this but i'm on v500n11o not v500n11n so it failed

It seems that LG is pushing the 10 beta to all koreans vi aota update.
To be able to receive it you must sign in in Quick Help app.
Unfortunately we have 2 problems:
1. Korean menu
2. We need a Korean lg account. I've tried creating one, also Facebook login, but it signs out me. Unfortunately I don't have the time to test with VPN. Also after successfully login we still need to go through the menu in korean language and sign in for the beta.
Maybe someone from Korea would help us. Maybe he can directly saveand give us the OTA. It will be downloaded on the main storage in a hidden folder.
Please help us if you live in Korea either with an account and menu step by step to subscribe to beta, or with the OTA saved as zip. Thx.

I was able to sign up for an LG account using a Google account so I am able to navigate the Quick Help app. But since I don't know Korean, I have been taking screenshots and using Google Translate to try to navigate. It's painful and slow and I have yet to find anything. I wonder if the OTA simply gets pushed over time after you sign up in the Quick Help app. I've tried using a VPN to South Korea and checking for an update manually in the system settings but nothing has popped up. I may try to find some one locally that speaks Korean to help me out, unless some one already knows what to do in the Quick Help app?

If we are spekaing about what was sharef previously on the net the v18a beta is so slow buggy very laggy i tried it with fota from the august security patch and it was a painful expérience

Looked for it on the net but without success.
Just a youtube video.showing the update which seems smoother than the 18a and improved one but Ithout links to download if you got it just inform us

Good news and bad news.
Good news is that I've managed to register on Quick Help app with an account from Korea.
Bad news is that I didn't find the beta enrollment join program. It's not available yet. Daaaamn.

I've spent like 2 hours translating screenshots with Google Lens...

This is 19a for the 3 Korean variants
https://forum.xda-developers.com/v50-thinq/development/fota-v50-korean-android-10-beta-19a-t3995611
Definitely works for kt variant as that is what I have now upgraded.

Hello all - I own the V50 Korean version (V500N) -- which rom should I flash, KT, SKT, or LGU? Also, what version of the current software should I be at prior to flashing? Thanks

Hello. It depends on what carrier your V50 will be. You should flash the carrier's one. For KT and U carriers you must be on v11o - September patch
For SKT carrier it will be v11q. But Kan, who has SKT, is having problems in installing it. Just be sure you don't upgrade to October patch by mistake.
LG-UP 1.16 does not support crossflashing, even korean carrier.

Question How is everyone updating the firmware? used japanese simcard?

p.s. I actually have the Leitz Phone 1 (Softbank) but I imagine it would be the exact same way with the Aquos R6

I have r6 docomo and I can find updates using Japan VPN.
It's really hard to update Softbank devices. I have zero 2 and r5g and this is a headache.
You can:
1) Buy Japan SIM - people say it is the most reliable choice
2) You can use Japan VPN . It might works but not always because of Softbank
3) You can hard reset your device and don't add any Google accounts, don't use gps, SIM cards. Add only WIFI and Japan VPN to find a new firmware. When device finds it and starts downloading you can disable your VPN connection to download with normal speed. You should do these steps with each update.
To know about new firmware use Softbank site. They post when the firmware is ready.
Be careful because I updated docomo r6 yesterday and now camera app opens with max brightness, I can't disable this thing.

thank you
looks like I'll need to get hold of a jp sim
because VPN didn't work for me
couldn't locate the Leica's firmware update page on Softbank but I'm sure if the R6 has an update then perhaps Leica should follow...
At this time I'm willing to accept max brightness bug if they are bringing optimisations elsewhere.. it's got a pretty heavy battery drain going on with first party homescreen for example

You can try this:
Turn off Google sync (everywhere), gps and pull out SIM. Restart device and turn on wifi and JP VPN.
It might works

Did you unlock the Phone also? Like sim-unlock.

no.. for one I don't know for sure there is a new firmware (couldn't find the page on Softbank's website)
I'm just going to buy a japanese sim when I can. apparently even a used / deactivated one is good enough.

There's a new firmware release on oct 13, anyone able to update it? (using which method)

AQUOS R6ソフトウェア更新に関する情報を掲載。
k-tai.sharp.co.jp

for anyone who already updated their phone, how is the improvement going ? is the camera quality got better ?
it's a shame that this phone has such promising hardware, yet weak software optimisation

If you have Softbank device you have to
1) factory reset
2) do not plug in your SIM
3) do not add Google account, only wifi settings
4) do not change region/time settings
5) turn on any VPN app, choose Japan
6) done. You will find an update
Every new update you can find only this way or you can buy Softbank sim
So, if you have Docomo device you have to:
1) just use any VPN app
Maybe: without SIM and with Japan region in settings.

Hi, can you provide the more details procedure to update the phone ?
Did you just go to Setting - System - System Update to update ? Or is there any other procedure needed ?
I already use proton, but system update said my system is up to date (which not the case) , am still on 1.0.0.6 an the latest from docomo i believe is 1.0.0.8

Nevermind, got it. I need to reset my phone, and don't change the region at all from beginning. I choose japan language as well for precaution, and now it updating
