Welcome to the AndroidForums, Adam!

I've taken the liberty of adding English translations (thanks for Google Translate) to portions of your post (we're an English language site, after all :)).

Cheers and thanks for signing-up with us :).

I'm sure they do and it should be but the LG support tool nonsense and bad OTA update has shaken my faith in updates and messing with firmware! I know it can be easy as my galaxy tab has upgraded several times with no issues. But when I was looking at my phone having failed an update part way through I was thinking 'Is my phone just broken now?' and I hated that feeling.

Maybe I will wait until I can get a new phone for free on my contract before risking this one again.

Lol. Sure. Its so easy to utilise this thing.
 
password worked for the sft but its just an empty file (at least for me)
and the link a few posts above take me to a invalid page.

i dl'd both folders like i said the first is empty the second only gave me "LGP970_V28A_00_CP.fls"
not the AP file.
when i open it in winrar it says something about unsafe header zip.
 
I have heard friends talk about losing their 3G connection after re-install. Do I need to save any settings first? API or APN or something?

Also what other things would I need to back up?

Any help very gratefully received.
 
Worked it out... it was because my phone is Taiwanese and can't use the same ROM apparently. Downloading another couple from HK and China to see if I can get one to work, they didn't do automatic roll out (OTA) over here... if anyone is having similar issues please let me know. Problem shared is a problem halved, yo!
