Update on the Koodo Mobile LG Optimus One 2.3 OS upgrade

By on September 13, 2011 at 9:28am in Koodo Mobile News, Mobile News


Quick update for those who have the Android-powered Koodo Mobile LG Optimus One (LG P500) – the upgrade to OS 2.3.3 Gingerbread is now available to you.

Update: We just received word from TELUS, parent company of Koodo, with the following statement: “There is no update available, We have not received software from LG and LG does not have an OTA solution”.

So apparently the update is not available yet, and no ETA. Hold tight.

(Thanks for the pic Bryce!)

    • Might take a day or two like a gradual rollout

      Also glad to see even the cheap spectrum of phones getting gingerbread updates

  3. This is big news for us users of this mid range device. I didn’t think they would push out an update as they are a flanker brand with mostly low end devices.
    I’m stoked and will try to update later today. Thanks for the tip.

  5. I have this phone from Koodo, but I don’t have the option for System Software Updates in the menu. What gives?

  6. My Koodo Optimus one doesn’t have a system software updates option. I did the usual *#*#checkin#*#* in the dialler. It checked in but there was no update…

  8. I’m pretty sure you need to goto LG website to update. The optimus one on Koodo doesn’t have ota updates.

  9. Same issues for me. I wrote on their FB page and they said:

    “Hey Randy, you’ll need to go onto the LG Canada website and download the software with the help of your computer and usb cord. Here’s the link: http://koo.do/o7zw2u”

    I wrote back:

    “It connects but tells me there is no update. I never updated it, do I assume 2.3 is not out yet?”

  10. I also checked my partners phone for updates. Don’t see a System Software Update section in settings either. Tried using LGMobile Update and it said phone was using most up to date software. Kinda confused by this news!!!

  11. Koodo reply update:

    “I’d assume so yup, it’s LG that decides when the updates roll out. Hopefully they will come out with it soon :) ”

    • Actually… I’ve been running Gingerbread (CyanogenMod 7) on a Virgin Mobile USA Optimus V (CDMA version of the Optimus One) for almost a year. It runs very well.

  15. The photo is not a Koodo phone. Koodo model is LG-P500h, the one in the photo has no h at the end. This update is not real!! Someones idea of a joke I guess.

  16. I bought this phone because LG told us it would upgrade it to 2.3 at the beginning of summer. I got tired of waiting, so I rooted it and installed a Gingerbread ROM from xda developers forum. Actually it is surprisingly easy to do.

  17. L G is the worst company for upgrading their OS in their phones. Not one phone in canada has been upgraded . Thats why they are the cheapest

  21. I put CyanogenMod7 on mine about 5 months ago now. Best thing I ever did to boost up this phone. With all the useless software on the LG Optimus One, it was slow as hell.
    Best advice I can give to owners is to root it and install a 3rd party firmware on it.

  23. Asked LG for any information and got the following:

    Unfortunately at this time we do not have information on upcoming updates. Should an update become available you will be notified that is it available for installation.

  24. Hey, I am the person that took this pic.. I just want to say that I am sorry about leading a few of you on. I do have the update, and I can say that it is running quite well, other then a few bugs I have noticed. If anyone wants a vid to prove the update, I can do that. I’ll have to give it to MobileSyrup though, so it will have to be on their terms.

    • Update is available, however be careful. If you use data it will cause your phone to permanently stay awake. Regardless of the screen turned off.

      Battery life will be down to 12 hours or so.
