So I just tried updating the GT540 using LG Updater and it said it finished successfully but now the phone just boots to a dim black screen. Any help? I dunno what to do.
you update directly from android 1.6 to android 2.1 with fastboot?
From 1.6 -> 2.1 using the LG Updater program. I was able to get it back to work using KDZ flasher and flashed a 2.1 kdz file.

ok so im still getting the same failed attempts at updating.
I've replaced the wpa_supplicant with the stock 3.0 that i made a backup of & also a stock 3.1 that i found (in saying that i had to change permissions just so i could connect to wifi to get the update).
Neither of those worked.
I've done a factory reset, both from within the settings menu and also from CWM Recovery, also wiped the partition cache. All of these failed to let me install the update as well.
Have tried both when rooted & unrooted.
One thing i've noticed, after i click 'install now' it reboots and i see small text appear in the top left corner saying "booting recovery kernal image" then the progress bar always gets to about 20% before i end up with the ! in a red triangle.
The only other option i can think of is using the stock 3.1 + CWM and installing it via CWM Recovery menu, but i'd prefer a pure stock 3.1 (which is 117mb vs the 342mb of the other one, why the huge difference if they're both stock?)
Thanks for any help
The CWM flashable version of the 3.1 ROM is 100% stock with the addition of being pre-rooted. There's no difference other than that so go ahead and flash it.
As for the size difference. The one you're downloading is a DIFF file, it just updates the OS files that have changed. The CWM one is a full (clean) system dump of someone's tablet, hence it's larger.

I had to install the stock recovery before it would work for me.
I'm downloading the pre-rooted stock 3.1 now and gonna give that a shot.
Just tried, and failed again, by installing the Acer Recovery Installer & flashing the stock US ROM then unrooting & updating, different screen (android character with white triangle & !) but still failed
Thanks for the tips guys!!
wow, isn't it obvious that updating uses the stock recovery? the recovery screen pops up when updating...
i was using the stock recovery included with the Acer rec installer. it still failed after i dl the update and ran it.
anyway got it working now. couldn't boot into recovery menu so i had to flash CMW to 1.3.4 and it all worked.
thanks fatman
I have had problems with the update too. I received the message that I had an update this morning (the 4.01 update) and I downloaded it but when it finished I never received the option to install as in previous updates. And now when I check for updates it says my tab is up to date but I'm still running 3.0.1 not 3.1... any suggestions?

Update: I was not unrooted when I downloaded the update but I have now unrooted the tab and still no luck. It says it is up to date but still 3.0.1... is there any way I can manually install the update other than with CWM?

Sorry, but nope.. Your only other recourse is to try contacting Acer support.
Don't expect a lot of help from them either... Apparently they know there's a problem, but don't know the cause.
There's a simple fix, they just need to put a full package update on their support site and EVERYONE will be sorted.
3.1 Update Incomplete Download?
Similar problem - I clicked on the update message and the download started, but it never looked like it completely finished downloading.
My screen time-out before the download was finished and now when I go to check if there's an update, it says system is up-to-date, but still only shows 3.0.1.
Any suggestions?
Ota update needs stock recovery. The pre-rooted update here at xda REQUIRES cwm.

Btw im using d802 sea
Yes. Root again. Install recovery. Install cm11 rom . Boot it up once. Use tool to install kdz again. Factory reset. Phone should say unrootded again. This has worked for me every time.
But the LG Mobile support tool will just say its updated to latest version, and does not allow me to unroot. please help!

I have a question, I am using LG G2 D802, rooted, using CWM v6.0.4.4. My sister also uses LG G2 D802, she updated her G2 in Kitkat. So I want to get the update also, I opened the Update Center and tried to update, but I can't see the update for kitkat. Only "V10f-DEC-23-2013" appeared on my update list, so I update my G2, and restarted the phone, and stuck on CWM. Resolved this problem by following instructions on the threads here (Thanks to you guys!), but my question is, how can I update to kitkat when I can't get passed updating to V10f-DEC-23-2013 that stucks my phone to CWM boot loop (Tried downloading many times but stucks me up at CWM bootloop)? Anyone out there experienced this kind of problem? Can you guys please suggest me what to do?
you should update on clean stock rom without root and the custom recovery.

What steps should I do?
Hi all,
I recently bought LG G2 d802. 2nd day I installed GloudyG3 rom. Everything was fine except the VOIP applications (Skype, Viber...). Voice communication using these apps was impossible (see LG G2 KitKat VOIP/Skype bug).
I wanted to revert to stock. I saw the guide to revert to stock using LG Flash tool. I've done that step by step but program stucked, and I bricked my phone. There was no download mode, no recovery mode, no nothing. There was however qhsusb_bulk recovery option. I tried to fix the phone using this guide: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2582142, but after that I got no recovery and lost this way of recovery too.
After I replace the phone I want to revert to Jelly Bean because I really need VOIP apps (Skype, Viber, etc...).
Is there a way to flash Jelly Bean rom (stock or custom) using custom recovery? After all of this I am REALLY afraid to use LG Flash tool again.
By the way is it possible to do all rom manipulation using custom recovery and never use LG Flash tool* As the user who wants to use rooted phone I don't want to install OTA updates either.
Thank you in advance for your answer.

there is nothing wrong with lg flash tool it was youre mistake.you can find a jb kdz package and flash it using lg flash tool
Problem: Can't boot into OS on my D800. When booting the screen stays at LG logo and LED keeps flashing green and blue.
Hisotry:
1) Had original AT&T D800 not rooted, no recovery. Got OTA upgrade to Lollipop.
2) Got new phone so decide to debloat to give phone to my wife (on T-mobile)
3) Read xda forums. Downgraded to d80010o using LG flash utility. rooted. installed older version of twrp using autorec. now phone won't boot but can get into download/twrp
4) got into firmware download mode and flashed d80010d using lg flash utility. this time copied new twrp on sdcard and stripped version of rom (http://forum.xda-developers.com/att-g2/development/rom-stock-lollipop-30b-stripped-t3144195) along with dorilp kernel
5) went back to twrp. flashed stripped rom and kernal.
Still no dice. Exact same situation. I can get into download mode/twrp but when booting system gets stuck on LG logo with led slowly flashing.
what am I doing wrong ?
Are you able to get into recovery? With a lolipo ROM you have to download KitKat boot stack or simply download blastgator lollipop ROM patch from here http://blastagator.ddns.net

From what I read in the OP of that ROM, you're supposed to just flash the rom zip, boot up, go back into recovery and flash the kernel.
"To install ROM, just flash the zip! (Note: The zip isn't signed.) My zip flashes everything you need for the ROM to work correctly.
Recommended: Flash @dorimanx kernel after install. My zip includes stock 30f kernel."
Maybe that's the problem?

okay.. installed the patch. still no dice. still getting same stuck at LG logo with led flashing.
also dorimanx kernal is installed. still getting the issue. btw i am not married to this ROM. Any AT&T rom will work. I think there is some mismatch of bootloader/kernal/rom and what not.
what things I can check ?
pulling my hair out.
whatever rom I install using twrp it gets stuck on LG logo. i think i see some message about not being able to unmount /system (but rest of install succeeds).
only way I can get back in OS is to use LG flash utility and flash d80010d or d80010o which basically wipes away everything (recovery, root etc).
assuming I am on stock d80010d, can someone please give idiot proof step by step direction (do i need to check modem version/baseband/bootloader/radio/recovery versions or something to make sure it is compatible ?)
Do you have download mode?

yes I do ..
Ok flash back via tot to kitkat and take ota to lollipop. Then use autorec v2. *Do not use the twrp thats comes autorec as it does not flash roms* flash a BUMPED twrp using twrp. Then install your lolipop rom then afterwards install the dormainx d800 lollipop patch just for safe measure but it should work without flashing it.

thanks for suggestion.. but once I take LP OTA, how will i use autorec ? I thought LP can't be rooted and custom recovery can't be flashed.
also all I can find is Autorec not autorec v2.

Yeah it can be rooted. Download stumproot and install it, follow it thru the steps and do the brute force root. Takes a few minutes but it works. I've done it on stock a couple of times. Get autorec v2 on playstore.

i just read that stumproot is not supported anymore..
Actually instead of stumproot, use srk tool to root stock lollipop. I have had success with that.
