Hope this is not a dumb question but I have a rooted GX2 running the stock ROM. What do I need to do to take the OTA update? Thanks in advance. I am ok if I have to wait to be rooted before if that is a requirement to take the update.
V21Y OTA update starting April 23rd

Software Update fail
I just nandroided, put stock recovery on and unrooted....Yikes. When I was all done, I get the error "connection failed caused by authentication error"...Any ideas?

Again, you don't need to be on stock or have stock recovery.
You just need to be on a 2.3.3 based ROM like weapon or bionix to update.

yeah i was having major probs with weapon on my wifes phone so i reverted back. she doesn't need root or anything like that!
I am using weapons but get FC every time I try to check for an update. I assume the only solution is to flash stock and check?

OK next question - I reverted back to stock on downloaded the OTA. When I reboot to install it immediately boots up CWM - do I "apply update from sdcard"?

Stock is a nandroid backup. You'll need to unrar it and then put it in the correct folder on the sdcard. Last, choose backup and restore and then restore this folder...
Is there a link to exactly what I need to do, kind of lost. I may just update it manually via LG tool. Was trying to keep it easy.

You need to use the LG_KDZ_FW-Update_OfflineFix (OFFLINE INSTALLER DOWNLOAD)
Go back to the original install and follow the post on how to use it. There's an msxml thing to install, you run the VBS script which injects a line into your hosts file, etc...
I've been running stock for about a week waiting for the update. I can't flash the KDZ file using Windows 7, XP through Virtual Box on my Windows 7 machine or my Linux box. The update starts and stalls out every time. I've been doing the Software update check and checking LG's update tool religiously and I still get the "Current version is the latest version" message. This is frustrating because I use my GPS quite a bit and it sucks with CM and stock ROMs. I'm hoping this OTA fixes the GPS issues for me or I will have to switch phones.
I think there's a pretty good chance that you'll be happy with the GPS performance under V21y. I've seen a number of reports that it's better. My own experience is that it's better but not perfect. I have gotten a number of 15-second fixes, which happened only extremely rarely under other ROMs. However, it does occasionally take 2-3 minutes, which is just what I was seeing before I installed V21y.

2Funny that people were saying we'd never see another update for the G2X since it had been EOL'ed. Then, when V21Y appeared, people started saying we'd never see it pushed out as an OTA. Just goes to show that nobody knows what they're talking about.
I'm glad that LG finally stepped up to the plate and delivered a usable stock Gingerbread ROM, although I'm not sure I should be too congratulatory considering this is the ROM the G2X should have launched with. One can only hope that the G2X does receive an ICS update.1
Correct, until the alternative ROMs are updated to support the new baseband, you won't be able to use them and still make phone calls.11
This is completely unnecessary. Just load up your stock rom/nandroid and run the update. CWM will be wiped regardless.1
Say the G2X won't get ICS and, according to you, it will. Consequently, the G2X won't get ICS.
