T-Mobile and LG have announced that the Gingerbread update for the T-Mobile G2X is once again rolling out, after a couple of failed attempts. At first you had to use the LG desktop software to install it, then we saw a limited OTA which was halted, and now we see another OTA. Hopefully, all the issues are ironed out and all of us who bought one of these can enjoy a more current OS. If you’re impatient and don;t want to wait for the OTA, you can manually apply the update via the LG updater tool — hit the links below for more info. As one of the best built Android phones ever, with the great Tegra 2 game heavy chipset, we’re happy to see it with almost current software. Now bring on the Ice Cream Sandwich!

Googler and AOSP gatekeeper Jean-Baptiste Queru announced that the factory restore images for the GSM flavored Samsung Galaxy Nexus are now available for download on the Android Building Google group this afternoon. This means that no matter how bad you screw up the system software on your new Nexus phone, you now have a path to go back to where you started, namely Android 4.0.1 (ITL41D) as well as the original baseband and bootloader. To use these images, you’ll need to have fastboot up and running and have a bit of know-how about how exactly to use it, so be sure to spend a bit of time reading if you’re not familiar with the process.
