Several of us on XDA have been experiencing the "Phone is already latest version" message in the LG Updater Tool. Is there a way to get past this? I've tried almost everything. I reflashed stock recovery... Did a factory reset. Uninstalled all the drivers. Reinstalled everything. Deleted everything that had to do with LG on my computer... I keep getting the same message. Someone please help! I know it's not the official GB update, but at least it's better than Froyo! Any tips?

Since its not an t-mobile official release not everyone can use the LG update tool to update.
Since I was getting the same msg you were I ended up rooting my phone and installing the rooted version xboarder put up here. Otherwise you'll have to keep trying and wait till t-mobile sends out the ota for the public.

has anyone else found that there phone is no longer rooted after the AT&T JH7 update??? I noticed that the USB tether is no longer on the phone and went to use Barnacle Wifi Legacy and it told me that it only worked on a rooted phone. I checked BusyBox and indeed, the phone is no longer rooted. It looks like I have to start over. Has anyone seen any problems with re-rooting, lag fix or anything else after the update??

Samsung kies did the update for me when i plugged the phone into the computer. After it updated, it also broke my root and added all the att crapware again. I re rooted with no problems, and removed the bloatware. Phone is working great. I havnt really noticed any difference.

How did you do the update? I did it fine and root wasn't removed.

Has anyone updated with the Voodoo lagfix in place? I can always reflash the stock JF6 and then look for the update, but i am lazy.....
I updated through kies as well. Lost my root. used one click to root again and have had no issues.
I can't re-root! I want to re-root and install Unleash the Beast... I've downloaded it, renamed to update.zip... Put it in the internal SD, went into recovery and hit re-install packages and it no longer recognizes the update. I'm going nuts here trying to re-root... comes up... E:can't open /sdcard/update.zip (no such file or directory) Installation aborted ............... Grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr... Help here..
That's odd. I did the OTA update by going into the system menu and selecting check for updates (I never installed the Kies software). I got the failed update message but the version showed it was JH7 after the restart, I'm still rooted and the bloatware did not reappear.
Also I never changed from the stock rom, I just rooted to get rid of the bloat and be able to sideload. I suspect those that did flash a new rom may have replaced the bloatware when they re-flashed to stock?
Hope this is helpful info for someone.

Same exact thing happened to me; Still rooted; Also have the JH7 suffix. Very weird, but all in all there are no changes to my phone.
How do you tell if your phone is still rooted?
(Yeah, still new to Android.)
My phone would not update...50% only whether I do it or ATT sends me the Update...Wife updated fine but was not rooted because I could not get into recovery mode until the update....then rooted hes...I Odin mine back to stock was on the phone with ATT for 2 hours.....Getting new phone
Never mind I used mini k I e s and the install went fine on both phones
No issues anymore.

Can anyone tell me their device management sever settings for the firmware over the air. That has received the new update to 2.3.4? I can tell you how to get to the settings to see what they are

I'm getting this error as well. I did the update to v21y a couple weeks ago with the LG tool. but my phone keeps prompting me with "You can check a new software". Way to go in english class. Tmobile tells me LG is pushing the update not them and gives me the LG support number.
I'm already on 21y and am being prompted to check for the update and then authentication error. Maybe this version of 21y is slightly different.
Could you tell me the server settings?

I am getting this error as well. I was running CM7.2 rc1 and decided to night to revert to stock to see if I could get the ota.
I used CWM to restore to stock 2.3.3 using the download from gunman's thread. Cleared dalvik, cache and did a factory restore. I noticed superuser was still on there so I flashed jboxers zip to unroot, then used nvflash to restore stock recovery. Cleared cache, dalvik and did another factory reset to be sure.
Checking for an update I don't get a message about whether my phone is up to date or not, I get a message saying it can't connect to the server due to an authentication error.
This happened to me last time there was an ota update. To go from Froyo to GB I had to use the LG tool because my phone wouldn't authenticate with tmo's servers.
It's not a second hand phone or anything. I bought it directly from a tmo store. Dunno why it won't ever authenticate for an ota update.
My g2x did that for the 2.3.3 update on the new one it downloads then had the authentication error. The offline fix for the update works great though

I upgraded my moms nexus s tmobile version from 2.3.6 to ics 4.0.4. She doesn't like the gui and the performance. It seems slow.
I looked online here and downloaded the rom for the tmobile nexus s but it wont install. It keeps showing error code 7 and it fails when verifying the rom.
What going on. Is it possible to downgrade back to 2.3.6 stock without rooting or modding?
Please help. Thanks.

Not possible from a strictly stock sense. Generally, you'll need to unlock the bootloader and lose all data on the phone and then flash 2.3.x with a custom recovery like CWM.

Make a factory reset and tell your mom to use ICS at least for a month.

If your device is a i9020t then flash the 'soju' images for 2.3.6 direct from Google here:
https://developers.google.com/android/nexus/images
It'll probably keep notifying you to update to 4.0.4 though.
I'm about to downgrade to Gingerbread as well. I'm fed up with the mute call bug. I can't believe Google has not released any fix yet, what a lack of professionalism.

What mute call bug? Can you elaborate as i've never noticed it.
Whenever I make a call, I can't hear the person and can't be heard neither. I have to call down and call right away a 2nd time to make it work.
A couple of NS users reported the problem on xda
HA! Something similar happened to me last night. It has never happened to me before. I recently had to fix my phone's mic and thought me tinkerning with it resulted in the issue. Glad to see it wasn't just me. I cleared the data for the phone application and it's working again. Not sure if that was how it was fixed but I rebooted and the problem was still there and I promptly cleared the data after the initial try on the reboot. Did you guys have an issue with the phone not giving you the ringing tone when making the outgoing call?

I tried that. It still gives the unverified error code 7 message.
Are you following the exact instructions on the google page and using fastboot to flash?
wipe cache partition then wipe dalvik cache wipe batter stats and make sure device is rooted and the bootloader is unlocked then make sure you have the 2.3.6 for your version of the device then flash hopefully should work
Flash Oxygen if you don't want ICS!! Enough said.
I am having issues installing the OTA Kit Kat on T-moblie LGG2
I have stock rom plus rooted.
xposed was installed.
I uninstalled xposed.
I used SuperSU to disable root.
I get the system update.
It downloads and says click to install and restart.
I've done that 5 times. IT just restarts and doesn't update. No errors or anything.
Anybody else have this issue or know what I can do?
Thanks.
Well first in o order to take or a while rooted you have to be totally stock nothing can be modified also sometimes it would give a message like "this phone is suspected of rooting" and the only way to be able to update would be to go back to stock and only root then take ota

Hello,
So I finally got the notification to download OTA Lollipop today, which I did. Problem is, when I went to install it, the phone restarted, an ERROR screen popped up. I restarted the phone, the update wasn't installed and now when I "Check for Updates" it says I'm up to date.
How can I install the update without side-loading it?

I had the exact same issue but it sounds like a good thing it didn't update from all the issues everyone keeps posting all over the net. Is your device rooted? OTA only works on completely stock devices I read somwhere.
I too ran into this problem. But before i returned my phone to stock i converted it to kali linux. At first i thought it was an encryption issue, so i restored my phone. I still received the error message.
To install kali linux i had to unlock the boot loader, then flash the software. I returned to stock by wiping, flashing stock, then locking the boot loader.
With Xposed not supporting 5.0 I am thinking of stating 4.4.4
I want to stay at 4.4.4. Can't get rid of the Update nag -- and I've tried everything.

I found my problem. My gps.conf file was edited by Faster GPS. I forgot to revert before the OTA and thus my error occurred. I hope this helps.
I'm still getting the same issue after supposed install:
I've had the OTA notification for a while but it won't install. It downloads and then when it does the reboot I see it trying to update then I get the 'Red Triangle'. It reboots again back to 4.4.4
Phone was rooted but still using the stock ROM so I did a factory restore, I'm still getting the same issue.
Any ideas?
Thanks in advance
