I am in Europe and I am trying to avoid LG Update tool because it has tendency to brick phones. I was wondering if I could OTA update it through wireless or any non Tmo network or do I have to do it only on USA T-mobile?
Thanks!!
Anyone...?

Hello everybody. This is my first post here in XDA. Please note that english is not my main language (I'm from Argentina).
I plan to buy at amazon the AT&T G3 model (D850) that has the same LTE bands that will run in my country. I will unlock it by IMEI code in order to use it in one of Argentina's cellphone companies. Unfortunately, international model D855 that is factory unlocked doesn't support my country LTE bands. I have doubts about the Android OTA updates after the unlock. Do I have to wait until AT&T releases Android updates or will I get that direct from LG? Also, what happens with updates with unlocked AT&T phones (by IMEI code unlock) running abroad on different cellular companies? Will I get updates from AT&T or I will be stuck with an old Android version?
Thanks in advance
Unless you are using an AT&T sim you won't receive ota updates from AT&T. Since the phone is a branded AT&T device you must receive updates from AT&T.

Is there a way to update Android in my situation? I saw there is a method through RUU to flash LG updates.

Probably due to ST being an mvno of att. There are numerous threads for numerous devices with this same question as the op, the answer always being the same.

So, do you say I will be able to update Android on an unlocked AT&T G3 from abroad?
Hi Guys,
I recently purchased a HTC M8 from ebay thinking it would work perfectly with any GSM network . My phone is currently in android Kitkat and i want to update it to lollipop. I tried to update the firmware from phone's system update but failed as it is asking to try with CDMA network.
Can anyone suggest how can i update it to lollipop still staying in GSM network please?
Thanks

Let me tell you, simply put, DON'T! if you have followed the instructions on how to get 4g, or if you are out of the country (i.e. US) you will lose 4g, you will also lose the ability to s-off and root. My M8 was awesome before I did that... now even my girlfriend (who is not even remotely familiar with cell phones and has an iphone of all devices) is making fun of me.... Before you do it, ask yourself if you want to be that guy?
Hey! I got a LG G flex 2 sprint version,pre rooted and unlocked ,updated to 5.1.1. I un-rooted it. It is fortunately working on all GSM networks.Can i update it ?
Hey guys,
I am thinking to buy a Galaxy S6 At&t unlocked version from the local shop so there's no chance to go to the BestBuy to update the phone because they don't operate in my country and the same thing goes to Samsung, Samsung has a sales offices in my country, not the help centers. I want to know If I buy that phone, I can get the latest nougat update from At&t or If I flash the latest At&t ROM from the SamMobile, does this affect my unlocked phone? Like after flashing I can still use any carrier network?
Hope you got it what I'm trying to say.
Edit: is Smart Switch will help me to update to the latest firmware?
im 90% sure you can use any sim if its already unlocked on any other carriers firmware but i know some of the U.S variants are locked down to carrier specific

My friend owns the same phone and He can use any network sim but that was not the question. I want to know about the update, If I manually flash the firmware will it break the unlocked functionality as the model firmware are only specific for the network.
no it wont break it

Hi guys, recently I bought an S8+ and it turns out is an unlocked At&t model. I am using it in Argentina and it works great. Thing is that I am not getting any software updates. Is it because I am not using it with an At&t Sim? Is there any way to get updates using another carrier from another country?
Thanks in advance!
