        To everyone out there: V30B it's just a test firmware, not the final build for ICS on this device. So don't complain if there are things missing. Just wait, just like me, for the final release 4.0.4.

          here is the link for all official firmwares. I have flashed v30I korean version and currently replying you.:) That means lg hardwares are not country specific for firmwares. Download france v30b and try to flash it again using smartflash tool. Unfortunatly, V30I korean version is also not so good. So now i will again switch to custom rom

                      Hi guys,
                      This is me sumedh. A proud owner of lg optimus black. Here is the list of all official firmwares.
                      http://lg-phone-firmware.com/index.php?id_mod=1
                      Go to link, download firmware, extract using lg kdz extractor tool and flash via smartflash tool. I am a user from india-mumbai. Flashed both ICS versions v30b and v30i. ICS fr lg optimus black sucks. Gingerbread is best os fr our phone. Only good thing about ICS is lock screen. ICS is laggy which reduces performance. Its a childish look. Not much widgets are present. PPI gets reduced to 217 from 233. Music player equilisers are reduced. Also, we dont get the artwork service in ICS fr music player which is activated when we keep phone in horizontal position in gingerbread and froyo. Try ICS if you want. We can flash any available using smartflash tool. If you really need ICS or Jellybean, root your mobile and try custom roms. Those are better. Thanks guys and happy new year to all.

                            Some days ago I have flashed my LG optimus Black
                            with ICS firmware European Open v30b via smart flash tool, but i didn't satisfy so I returned to Gingerbread Indian
                            v20g. After flashing I have connect my Phone to PC
                            and checked firmware update via LG mobile
                            support tool I found software update and I
                            start it. When finished my phone upgraded
                            to v20h. Again I connect to PC and check
                            firmware update and I found software
                            update and I do it again, when finished
                            the version is not updated to new it was
                            same as previous v20h. Every time
                            when I check firmware update it shows Update but
                            not updating to next version what is
                            being wrong can any one suggest me??
