    i just checked what you said,
    and here what is written:
    -firmware version 1.6,
    -kernel version 2.6.29 ,
    and the version that i want to upgrade is 2.1, so i think there's a problem here.
    moreover, i did format my LG as you told me ( by the factory reset) but the software wont reset .
    so any suggestions???

    thank you :)

Ok Basically whats happening is that your phone is not recognizing that there is an android upgrade available, this is a bug in the software.
before performing a hard reset make sure that all your applications are upto date as they may interfere with the update process. once you update all your apps check the update screen again. through Settings -> About Phone -> System Updates

To perform a hardware reset goto
Settings -> Privacy -> factory reset
and follow the prompts.
your contact and paid application information will be saved on googles servers, remove your SD card to save pictures and videos before performing a reset.
there are free applications in the Android Market to back up text messages as well. Best of Luck.

    Contact a LG service representative, i doubt any further work could be done without messing around with root files and that voids your warranty and i would not recommend doing without previous experience. Sorry it didnt work, i did a quick search and it appears lots of people are having issues with that particular device and that the 2.1 update is buggy as well with dropped calls/phone going straight to voicemail.
    sorry i couldnt help further.

How to upgrade the firmware for LG GT505 phone

Hello,

To upgrade the firmware of your phone is very simple. What you need to do is to go the lg website and download the lg mobile support application and then you connect your phone to the computer and the application will give you the available upgrades available for the lg gt505.

Then you make sure your phone is fully charged before you carry out this. Try to save your contacts and back up the files of your phone before you do this. After connecting your phone and browsing it out with the lg mobile support, it will take a while to upgrade. Make sure you do not operate the phone while you are upgrading.

You can get the mobile support tool from the lg website.
If you need help finding the tool, you can ask me and i will get you the link for you.

Hope this helped.

Good evening, was trying to install the pc suite for my lg arena km900, but an error code came up at the end, causing the installation to stop. Error code was 0x000FFF. Any suggestions? Initially tried...

whenever you are installing any Plug and play device its always advisable to never connect it before installing the drivers. First uninstall whatever you have already installed. Remember your phone should not be connected to the pc. restart you machine install the drivers connect your phone only if driver asks to do so or else just re-start your pc after installation. connect your mobile let it install its drivers automatically. and you are ready to use your LG.

LG mobile uk, have now released the newest firmware for KP500 Cookie V10d, BUT with also the Flash Loader Utility Programme that has stopped many of us upgrading the mobile, I have waited 6 months!!! But as of yesterday I was able to finally install new firmware. Follow the instructions, installing software PHONE SOFTWARE UPDATE then when you install it will take you through each step and install flash programme and drivers, once these are install it will ask you to take out your battery and connect the mobile to usb and pc, this will load the flash loader with success. Then remove usb pop battery back in connect mobile with connectivity PC Suite and away you go, it took about 25 mins and i am with Vista. Hope this helps so many. Take care and enjoy your phone without restarts!!!! Lisa

Cannot connect using LG internet cube software

I had the same problem but now i have found the solution for it. Its not the software its the phone. Go to your Phone Settings hit Connectivity and then Usb Connection select Data Service and now connect your phone to the pc and select connect in Mobilesync and it should work. After you are done using MOBILE SYNC you can simple go in settings once again and choose mass storage for any downloads!!!
