The update of Android 4.1 Jelly Bean is starting to reach the LG Optimus 4X HD , initially started to be distributed through the LG servers for the Czech Republic and other European countries.

As usual, the update will first phones released (unlocked) or that are not tied to a particular telephone operator and then the others will be coming.

To check if the update is available via OTA (Over the Air) on our phone, we need to verify only in Settings or Settings -> About phone -> System updates and, if applicable, will indicate that a new update. Another way is to connect the phone via USB cable to the PC and open the software LG Mobile Support-Tool / PC Suite which also indicates if the update is already available in our region.

Mexico and Latin America likely to take several months to get to phones that are connected to an operator (Telcel in Mexico's case), but for those already impatient, LG offers the option of downloading the latest version (official) Phone Firmware whether it is a smartphone released or under grant and operator customization and even has USB drivers needed for upgrading.

It should be noted that it may be the case that the latest firmware version available (in this case for the LG Optimus 4X HD) in our region, may not be the latest launched globally (in this case Android 4.1 Jelly Bean), so in that case, you can choose to download the firmware for your phone to another region than ours for yes is the latest version available as either way it is an LG official version, though obviously you must download an open version of the firmware (without operator), for the case of the LG Optimus 4X HD would be a good choice for Spain Europe Open version V20A dated April 4, 2013, which is now Android 1.4 Jelly Bean and without customizing any carrier (operator).

It is very important to mention that for the update process by this method, you must have some knowledge and / or experience installing ROMS / Firmware thus, since it wrong, the phone may become unusable, and that we must account, that whether the update is successful or not, we will lose the guarantee of our operator (Telcel in Mexico's case), it being a firmware without personalizing it, we no longer offer support in case of failure or subsequent malfunction.

Unlike what would happen directly with LG, as although it is not the custom firmware and approved by our operator, it is an LG official firmware, but the only thing that LG is not supported in the update process by this method, so that in case they go wrong, warns not responsible.

Anyway, who are already accustomed to this type of updates / facilities, safe will not hesitate to do so, as well as gain the latest version of Android for your phone (and being an official LG ROM) may dispose of customization and applications puts its operator (power logos, apps that do not want, etc..).
