Since i was frustrated with updating to V10f, i've asked so many people to solve my problem...
i'm here in Hong Kong and i haven't got the OTA update for V10f yet..
so i finally find a solution about that

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1264289

it's from O2x section but i found that it works for P880 too (great work by felipemadox , not mine:laugh:)

i just copy it here and for you all easier to know this method;)

Download these 3 apps: http://www.4shared.com/rar/Re4VCOAS/kdz-udpate.html (the original link is deleted, re-uploaded by RuedasLocas):good:

| 2 |
- Install B2CTools LG
- Extract the KDZ_FW_UPD_EN.zip (ex.: C:\KDZ\)
- Install msxml.msi (located \KDZ)
- Extract WindowsEnabler.zip to the same folder as KDZ (ex.: KDZ\WindowsEnabler)

| 3 |
Run LGMobile update (must be on your desktop) and install the usb drivers

| 4 |
Reebot your O2x in SW Upgrade mode (remove the battery, turn on the device and hold the vol - key)

dont turn the on/off button, just hold down volume and plug the cable in

| 5 |
Open the Windows "Device Manager" > Modems > disable the LGE Mobile USB Modem

| 6 |
Run as administrator KDZ_FW_UPD.exe

| 7 |
- Run as administrator Windows Enabler.exe
- After run the app, an icon will appear on your tray, single-click on the icon util the "ON" text appears over the icon


| 8 |
- Go back to KDZ, locate press on the yellow folder and locate the .kdz file that you want to flash

- In my case, Optimus 2x P990h, the o type must be "3GQCT" and phonemode "DIAG"



| 9 |
- Click on "Launch Software Update" and don't click on anything else
- WAIT util your phone reboots automatically (5-7 min) and unplug the cable

- Dont care about the errorlog, it's normal

If you got only bootloop after flash .kdz, just do a hard reset:
- press and hold [vol -] and [power] until you got the "android recovery figure" and wait until they reboot again.

----------------------------------------------------
tested that root will lose after updating the firmware through this method:)

p.s. my English isn't good at all, sorry for that:p

PLEASE INSERT BACK YOUR BATTERY AFTER STEP 5. Or else the upgrade will fail, and you will get an ulgy grainy screen.

Just to let you guys know, I have upgraded to V10f Euro Open, from V10b Stock (Singapore)

If you have any questions, PM me.

    What the difference for v10f

    Chrome as a second browser, the option to take pictures just by saying "cheese" (or something similar to that word).

    Updates generaly are to improve hardware functions or correct software issues, no one make them for nothing.

    Its up to us decide if we want to test it and use it or not. There's allways a way back to the previous one...

    Nice, but i was unable to download it, maybe is me!!!
    If somebody can share the file somewhere else, or at least to write a file list of the .rar file.

    I think you want "kdz-update" folder, right? Here, first is direct download, second from 4shared:

    http://s28.real-debrid.com/dl/849413g4s2138353741233/kdz-update.rar

    http://www.4shared.com/rar/Re4VCOAS/kdz-update.html

    Its everything you need inside, except LG Drivers (I think...) and kdz firmware files.
