Today I connected my phone to PC via LGMobile Support Tool v. 1.5.7.0

The tool app show me:
Country: Portugal
Model: LGP920
Version: +CGEV: ME CLASS
and
"Start Updating"
Does This means that the new firmware is availble to my country and I can realy update from LG server?

now I have installed GB official rom v. 21a Nov-15-2011

v21e is available for Greece open. Going to upgrade later tonight.

Edit : I was just trying some test calls while playing some game and after closing the game .. calls went through, but when I went into contacts, I got the USIM loading completed message, I know I read somewhere in this topic that the message is a symptom of ghost calls, but the call went through 2 seconds before that. Should I be worried?

I would do a factory data reset to make sure, the update keeps all apps and settings but there might still be ghosts in the machine

I just tested out a theory : if I stop the contacts application (which might have happened to free ram for the game i was running) and call the o3d from another phone, calling works, but the caller name does not appear immediately, and when you go to contacts, you get the USIM loaded message. So it seems it was not in "ghost mode" , instead , the USIM loaded message appears when the contacts app is loaded (most of the time it will be already running in the background).

Another easier way than the LG update tool, to check which version is the current for your O3D is by following the link below (just change the XXXX with your IMEI number):

I can't upgrade using the upgrade tool even though v21e is available for Greece. I tried the link above with my phone's IMEI and got this result:
"csmg.lgmobile.com:9002/swdata/WEBSW/LGP920/ACSMML/V20A_00/V20A_00.kdz"
This is the latest firmware for the network of COSMOTE. The strange thing is that my mainboard has been replaced twice by LG service, so it is supposed to be an open one and not locked to a certain network!
It looks like they just take ghost mainboards, wipe and reflash them and swap them among unsuspecting users telling them they gave them a new mainboard!!!
Great trick to fool customers and buy time. Way to go LG!

Uh, I think you've got it wrong. When they replace mainboards they will replace it with a similar one, ie it will still be under whichever carrier you're using, so the IMEI number will still reflect that you're using Cosmote. Or, you're using the original IMEI given at the factory which is locked to Cosmote.

Tried with my IMEI only to check.. works just fine greek v21e.
O3d bought from vodafone greece once upon a time.
Btw since chinese V20G didnt have any ghost calls.
I think its time to try V21E and see what happens although my little Sony NeoV has official ICS..

You may have a point, but my original mainboard was Europe Open and they never asked me which network I'm using. Moreover, both times I sent the phone to service I did a full wipe and factory reset, so they couldn't possibly see any data. So, how did they decide to give me a mainboard locked to Cosmote? I think my previous point still stands...
