cybyude 0 Report post Posted March 13, 2004 Hi! I have an RD2030 and My firmware version is R23REL11 PRL-1. I guess there have been newer versions of this. Can any one tell me from where and How can I get this upgraded? Is is possible to download the stuff and flash it ourselves? Thanks! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Arun 795 Report post Posted March 13, 2004 You will need special cable for doing this and the appropriate software and the new firmware too. It will be better if you could visit your nearest LG service center for upgrading it rather than doing it yourself and risking it to get damaged. Afterall, software upgradation is FREE Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
karpar 1 Report post Posted April 25, 2004 Anyone knows what the software is in the first place? I read it from this forum that the name of the program is "ARC Writer" but then I searched for it in the net, but didn't have any success... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Tushar 0 Report post Posted April 27, 2004 RD203F15 is the latest i think.. I think this was out during last november or december But tell me Ashok is it really beneficial to upgrade the sw since u know I have ver 11 and I can access field mode to change MIN and with the newer ver I wouldn't be able to do that isnt it. Anyways whats improved in the sw the coverage or something better network..... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Ashokjp 15 Report post Posted May 3, 2004 I used to have lots of problem with network while having the software ver 11 Like once i tried calling my cell(which was in my pocket) from my room.. It said i was out of range, but the fact was i was having around 4 step signal Like that many stuffs... There arent any major changes in Menu.. Most of the variations come related to network Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

StaticElectricity 8 Report post Posted May 3, 2004 yeah most probably... cauz maybe they no longer requie the field test mode... and they dont want their users to play around with it... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Tushar 0 Report post Posted May 3, 2004 Well then currently theres no other way of writing MIN and making clones so I think v 11 will be the one for me no upgrades for now. BTW after the warranty period of 1 year is upgradation charged if so how much will it be. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

hyper 0 Report post Posted August 28, 2004 i just sent my RD 2030 to LG for a software upgrade & now i have S/W: RD203F15 PRL: 2 i dont find anything different at all. i only think that the R-World has been improved. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
raccoon 53 Report post Posted August 28, 2004 Hey, ru sure its PRL: 2 ??? Mine is S/W: RD203F15 PRL: 1 I was in the LG service center last month and they told me I have the latest version!!! :'( And yes, these software upgrades make very little 'visible' difference. Mostly the changes are internal ...relating to network, etc. I also noticed an improvement in stand by time ...not too sure how that might be linked to the software though.

iiii_pretender_iiii 0 Report post Posted August 28, 2004 Hey guys, Keeping up to date and stuff is ok, but when it comes to firmware updates, Its not always best to have the latest firmware. Sometimes, You'd be better off with a bit old but stable release than the latest version which may have bugs. The best thing to do is let a firmware version "soak down" and see if nyone reports any problems, :'( Then update it. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Vishal Gupta 4 Report post Posted August 28, 2004 Hey, ru sure its PRL: 2 ???Mine is S/W: RD203F15 PRL: 1 I was in the LG service center last month and they told me I have the latest version!!! Hey raccoon PRL is not related to the s/w version. It is related to Roaming. PRL => Preferred Roaming List. Preferred Roaming List. A list of SID's kept inside a phone to permit roaming on other wireless networks. A service provider may set up roaming agreements with other service providers in different geographic regions and the PRL will try to locate one of these service providers' networks first when the home service provider is unavailable. PRL's do change so it's a good idea to ask for a PRL upgrade every 6 months or so if you do a lot of roaming outside your home service area. So Dont think that ur s/w version is not the latest.

raccoon 53 Report post Posted August 28, 2004 Oh, ok ...thanks for that info Vishal_Gupta. Never knew they needed to keep a list like that IN the phone! So mebbe my firmware is the latest ...I guess that "list" is old... Hmm And you have to upgrade that list the same way ...going to the service centre and all??? Damn!!!
