The update to Android 4.0 Ice Cream Sandwich for the LG Nitro HD will be released by AT&T as soon as next week.
According to AT&T’s official site, the official Android 4.0 ICS update for the LG Nitro HD is planned for next Tuesday (July 31). This update won’t be coming down OTA, and interested users will have to update with LG’s PC software. Here is the software for download now. Alongside Android 4.0 Ice Cream Sandwich and its new features, this one will also bring LG’s Optimus 3.0 UI to the LG Nitro HD.
Still, you are going to get the newest OS version in a few days, so that should make you happy. Full details about the upcoming update are available here at AT&T.

How to flash LG Nitro HD Steps:
- Install LG Nitro HD Drivers drivers and LG Flash Tool on your PC
- Install the flash file, replace the file inside the archive with the original in C:\LG\LGFlashTool
- Open the LG Flash Tool, it should not ask you for anything at the splash screen but load the tool and prompt you for the DLL and TOT file downloaded from amoamares’ Posts, if not click the Icon that looks like gears.
- Click ok and put your phone into Download mode(Warning: I don’t know if this was just me but My phone would keep exiting the download mode, I figured this was because the battery was dead and the phone was not charging when in download mode so I ended up plugging it into the wall for an hour or so when it was off to recharge the battery)
- Plug your phone in and put it into “download mode” (Volume Up and Power Button) Once new hardware found go into control panel and find your phones ‘Com port’ under Ports(COM & LPT)-> LGE AndroidNet USB Serial Port (COM#) and change it to port 41 (right click “properties->port settings>advance”)
- Click the icon that looks like the cable and make sure you put a check in port 1 on the right and click ok
- Click the yellow arrow pointing to the right in to top of the LG Flash tool (You should now see “Ready” in the first cell top left in the main window)
- If your phone doesn’t start flashing on its own unplug and plug your cellphone back in and it should start flashing and show its progress. At around 80-90% it will say something about rebooting and your phone should reboot, leave it alone until the progress bar reaches 100% and goes green saying completed or success even when the phone comes up to the welcome screen.
- Close out the LG flash too and put your phone into debug mode and make sure its set to PC mode.
- Extract SuperOneClickv2.3.2_ShortFuse.zip and Run SuperOneClick.exe and root that sucker!!!! (Took me 2-3 attempts, and a few phone restarts in between of tries to get super one click progress to go past starting ADB server)
- Once rooted put your phone into mass storage mode and copy all of the IMG files (boot.img, recovery.img, firmware.img, baseband.img, system.img)to your SD cards root directory
- Put your phone back into PC mode and make sure your phone is in debug mode and open a command prompt window and navigate to where you extracted super one click

Just a couple of weeks ago, AT&T has started rolling out the V10J update for the LG Nitro HD. It’s not the Ice Cream Sandwich update many users are wanting, but it does address some issues and bring newer versions of the bundled applications along for the ride. Needless to say, the update comes over-the-air and you can apply it without using a computer. To check the update: Home –> Menu –> Settings –> About Phone –> System Updates –> Check New –> If a new Software Update available –> tap Ok button.
Surely, you also can manually flash your LG Nitro HD. Following is the LG Nitro HD V10J firmware that is a full 300 MEG File in .TOT format needs to be flashed using LGNPST. It is not the standard system, recovery, boot.img formats. You must use LGNPST to flash the device, but you can flash in recovery mode to unbrick a device.
