Does anyone know how the firmware version number is constructed?
From extensive reading here, I come to these conclusions.
All Optimus owners have firmware version starting 1.0.x.y
What do x and y mean?
In another thread, people are talking about getting a fantastic upgrade to 1.0.10.10.
But many people suggest x = country(?)/carrier(?) and y= actual version.
I think x=1 is OPEN.
I originally had 1.0.1.12 (NLD OPEN) and now have flashed 1.0.1.10 (GBR OPEN).
I have seen people posting a version ending in 11.
So y = 10 or 11 or 12.
If 1.0.10.10 is the latest and greatest, what did people have BEFORE getting that?
just region specific isn't it? 1.0.10.10 seems to be ITA/GER. Probably minor language differences between that and 1.0.8.10 that i'm running (Orange UK).

The Blogpost on smafirmware says otherwise.
Samsung released in his servers always roms as WP7_Engineer!
We of SamFirmware found a solution to change the system and flash the roms with succes.
We have only one BIG problem. We can't release this
The roms are copyright by Samsung!
What will happen if we release the solution version?
Samsung could make a case in court against us.
Because the roms are officialy not released by Samsung we can't do this.
The only thing we can do is releasing the rom so you guys can try it by yourself.

Just tried I8700XXKH2. Doesnt work for me.
It does work on retail omnia 7, but they won't tell us how, or samsung could sue them
so what's the purpose of the release if no one can install it???? I can't get it...
We are working on it, keep watching Omnia's developer forum. There are two ways - there is enclosed .cab.pks with OEM update containing new drivers. If it won't boot after that (aka not updated Radio software), we will have to figure out how they figured it out .
thanks guys, keep going!
Hi all, can anybody explain to me what are differences between WP7_Engineer and WP7_Product? Thank in advance.
i think ondraster method may be correct. if you look at the video posted in samfirmware you can see there that the bootloader version is 5.3.0.4 and not 5.3.0.8 so they managed somehow to replace the 5.3.0.8 bootloader from the kh2 rom
Now I am trying to find whether the WP7_PRODUCT and WP7_ENGINEER differ only in the name, or even the certificate itself. If only name, I could patch the flashing tool to skip the check. If certificate, we are screwed and Ceesheim's phone is maybe stuck with 5.3.0.8 WP7_ENGINEER bootloader (I have a working theory about downgrading to KD1 ROM and waiting for official update with WP7_PRODUCT bootloader).
Oh and I can't simply drop the bootloader update - it is part of the radio update .
I believe in you !

Deploy
Hi all!
I've flashed my Omnia 7 to i8700xxKH2, and it works fine... How can I deploy some apps (like WP7 root tools, etc.) to my phone now?! I've searched all of these forums and topics, but I can't fint the way...
Thanks for helping!
All the best!
i updated too...
but i knew before that you can't load homebrew apps as it's no method yet to developer unlock mango...i hope yet is the right word for now..hopefully not long
hope to replace this word soon...
Hi all, i have been looking for some cool mods and found the extra power menu and it appears you need either [62][58][42].
I believe i have -36.
Is my logic right?
I have the gsm version with baseband 20302204-36.
does [62][58][42] in the title represent the last two numbers of the base band?
Thanks
sorry I'm haveing a brain fart, i was using mt htc raider for a few months and have come back to my play for a while, i want to get use to se again as I'm looking to get the xperia s in march.
Your version is [368] which is the firmware before [42], you need 4.0.2.A.0.XX (XX being 42, 58, or 62)
All I remember about the basebands is, .368 is -36 and .62 is -64
dont look at just the baseband
look for build number at the bottom of settings/about phone
you can run a different baseband in different firmware
I use .62 firmware with 36 baseband
see attached screenshot
Hey guys, so I apologize if this is a stupid question or if it has already been asked before (did a quick search and didn't see anything relating to the w8 note)
My girlfriend has a n900-w8 too and she has got 3 updates since the day we got them (she doesn't root her phone) but I rooted my phone the day we got them, am I going to have to full unroot my phone, then update, then re-root? or is there a 'patch' type file i can use or something more a long those lines?
Don't get me wrong I hate touchwiz, but the only ROM's I like are cyanogenmod and PAC-rom which neither are released for the note 3 yet... *sigh*

My new LG came with D80210b-466-92 firmware and I flashed it with the UK T-Mobile version - also tried the Eur open version.
However, while the phone took the firmware upgrade, its still showing the old version of firmware i.e. D80210b-466-92. I've done the hard reset and the phone restarts in Chinese. Once I change to English its fine and all the Chinese apps are gone but its still showing the old firmware???
If I flash, say, the D80210a EUR firmware, the version changes to D80210a-466-92, not D80210a-EUR-xx as I would expect.
I have flashed about 8 firmwares (including Kitkat) and the last five digits (country code) never change but the first 7 always change as they should. The flashed firmware does seem to work OK, just the version does not update.
Any ideas?

Yeah, no one seems to know, its a real head scratcher.
466-92 is the Taiwanese country code AFAIK.
I don't think it affects the phone at all but I would like to know why it happens. Its the only seems to affect phones with the 466-92 firmware.
No ideas anyone?
answer
hy
i was having the same questions about the "466-92" code.
here is the catch...
the country/region code is encrypted in hardware of the phone, meaning the phone was build for that region and cannot be changed in any mode! - this answer i obtained from LG customer service.
still, you can put any of stock roms for your device (d802 in my case) and will work, all of them are original and compatible with device, working with same parameters (differences are in fact some apps in addition or in minus for some regions/countries that are bloatware anyway), so the basic is same for all (ex. 20a, 20b, 20c, 20h or 20d or other letters released)
NOTE 1. you can put any of stock rom for your device BUT only with a custom flashing program (ex. LG_flash_tool - which i use);
NOTE 2. if you wanna update or change your software with LG Mobile Support Tool (default and official program from LG to change/upgrade software), the phone will receive the software version for the region/country accordingly to THAT number/code from the end of the software name (D80220c-466-92 - in my case).
if you own a taiwanese version of d802 it will show the "466-92" all the time and with any version of software !

for country/region codes of your phone model search google, it's easy to find - and see what region your phone was made for
every region/country or group of countries have a version of software by default
ex. taiwan has the kitkat version 20c - d80220c-466-92, europe open has kk 20d - d80220d-eur-xx, and so on....
search fot them, there are plenty of forums and discussions
excuse my english
hello
I have an open EU g2 and after using several custom roms i wanted to revert back to stock.
I used the LG IMEI tool and it told me that the phone is an open EU version . The download link for the firmware they suggested is for 80220C .
Yet, i see that there are open EU firmwares available for D or even F
is there anything that the F firmware brings ? Performance improvements etc ? Or should i stick to the C one as recommended by LG ?
This brings me to ask a few questions :
1. Since it's an open eu phone, shouldn't they all have the same software versions? I understand for carrier or country specific phones to have different firmware versions depending on the development speed etc, but why would Open EU d802 phones have different firmwares ? Note that if i use the default C one ... OTA says there are no updates available.
2. I see most custom roms are based on the 20F versions. Makes me wonder if it's because it's the latest one ... or if it brings any improvements ( even small ones )
So what do you say ... should i use C or F ? Any reason why ?
thanks guys
i searched the web for a changelog, nothing.
seems that lg does not give changelogs
perhaps someone knows the difference and has some advice on which one to use
1. I don't know, connect your phone to your PC and check for updates maybe like that. Sometimes those firmwares are with specific bug fixes for one country and probably also with other small bugfixes but sometimes its like country limited even if its open eu,
2.I think that 20F might be the latest,Stablest software version but I am not sure about it.
My advice is to just stay normal on stock and or check with your imei checker and maybe use that firmware.
Since the bugfixes are probably not a big list or noticeable for the average phone user it isn't so Important for small version differences or you gotta be an hardcore Fan.
I suggest to maybe look for custom roms which are using stock as base but only flash that stuff if you have the basic knowledge about flashing and can read carefully
Well here's my two cents:
The C and D versions are the second kitkat upgrade for different regions. They SHOULD be equal, and both of these stock images have certain bug fixes as the "fake" bluetooth drain in battery stats, fixed headset hissing issue and added knock code.
The F version, I believe, is a bugfix for 20D. 20D had issues with VoIP such as skype and Viber which would not function properly. 20F has not been pushed out to all users of 20D.
If you intend on keeping your device, flash 20F IMO. BUT
An important note: If you plan on SELLING your device, then flash 20C which is the one linked to your IMEI. Because you won't be able to get updates if your current software version doesn't match the one LG has linked with your IMEI.

thanks mate. i will flash 20F
regarding to the last thing you said ... yes i figured that the official software is the one that should be used when sending the phone to waranty or selling it
more than that ,... i found something interesting . I flashed several firmwares and ALL OF THEM made te status in download mode as "ROOTED" even though i was not rooted.
The only way to display unrooted in download mode is to flash the 20C firmware for my device. So it is obvious that this is the "correct" firmware for this particular phone.
