Has anyone captured to tmobile ota? I don't really want to upgrade with the LG tool.. being able to put the ota on the phone and flashing it sounds like the better option to me!!

I'm running CM7 on my phone. My 2 brothers running rooted stock 2.2 (I did it for them). Just wondering will OTA be pushed from T-mobile for rooted phone, or I have to update it manually? I asked my brother a couple time but he said didn't get any message from Tmobile yet.
Same here

I've got the same question for my G2X. I rooted it using Superoneclick and now wish to flash it with GB provided by LG.
Do I have to unroot it before I update it? If so, can I just use the "unroot" feature of superoneclick?
Do I have to get it back to factory defaults? If so, can I use the "unroot" feature of superoneclick and then use the restore feature in the phone and then update to GB? Or do I even have to "unroot" it before I use the restore to factory defaults in the phone?
I don't mind updating it manually using the LG Mobile Support Tool I just would like to know what to do next. I'm kind of excited about the improvements they've made in GB and would like to take advantage of it I just need to know how to go about it.
Here don't forget to hit the "thanks" button.

Yes, but you won't get the July 15, 2011 baseband which is the best part of the update.

i thought the primary reason ppl were going through the hassle of upgrading to the OTA was to get the new baseband... if that is not available, then what other benefit does it offer vs cm7?

That's surprising. I would've thought the official T-Mobile OTA would've contained the update to the baseband.

The regular OTA did contain the baseband but the zip files on this website were made from people's devices and don't contain the baseband. At this time the only way to get the baseband is to use the LG Updater.

So then it follows that at some point those who received the OTA, before they initiated the actual installation of the update, had an update.zip on their phone's memory that contained the updated baseband, right? I think what the OP is getting at is that it'd be great if someone would've thought to save a copy that zip folder before they actually installed it.

Yes, before installing the OTA update there would have been a zip file of the update on the sd card. I have asked before if anyone saved it BEFORE updating and nobody had it. I also IM'd some people and none of them saved it before installing the udpate. Once the update installs the file is immediately deleted. If there is someone that has this it would help with many issues. It could probably let people install the udpate using the stock recovery, and we would be able to easily extract the baseband and then figure out a way to let people flash the baseband only.
i haven't updated the baseband yet.. If you want, send me a PM and let me know what I need to do, and I'll save a copy... On cm7

Logged into an At&T wifi yesterday and the phone offered an HTC system "update".
Having owned several HTC products and never seeing any sort of update from them for a device I owned, Ill admit i was a bit shocked. lol
Downloaded for a few mins, although I didnt see a file size.
Reboots, resets twice then boots. Both my Inspires updated to
Software Version
1.84.502.11
took about 5 mins total
Sorry If this was somewhere else, I searched and didn't see anything.
What'd they do to my phones?
This is the update from ATT that added hsupa

The install doesn't work for me. Just shows an exclamation point and the android guy. I'm suspecting it's because I'm rooted and running TPC. Any ideas?

How do I get rid of the update notification?
Same thing with me shows exclamation point and the android guy for me to im also rooted i wonder if we can get the update being rooted. im tired of the notification also
Anyone get it to install with root? I just don't want it to screw up my root where i'd have to do it again.
The OTA update is mostly a collection of patches. These are very specific as to the files they are to patch. If you don't have the official AT&T ROM (or a very close approximation) then the update won't do anything.
there is the full ATT rom with the included patches and fixes and stuff in the development section. just dl the rom and flash it since you are already rooted
simple and stuff.
but also a lot of the newer roms are importing the fixes

It will not run, it will fail the process.
How long does it take to install after downloading?
I'm going on about 10 minutes of the green arrows on the black screen with the phone image under it. Don't think it should take this long should it?
K, thanks. Simple answer. Is there a way to disable that notification then?
Nevermind. Hung on the install but pulling the battery worked
Install this stock rooted Rom. It has the ota update in it. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1058042
I have a G2x and am running the latest nightly. I have two questions I'd like answered
1. Can my phone still get an automatic update from T-mobile even though my phone is rooted. I noticed when I had FROYO there was an option in my setting to check for "system updates" but that went away on CM7
2. If I don't get an automatic update from T-mobile is there any advantage for me download the update or will the developers eventually integrate the changes into there ROMS?
1, no. Not if you're on CM7, I don't think. Rooted stock, I think so.
2, the developers probably will integrate.
I'd stay rooted and custom.
Doesn't anyone read the forums before posting at all anymore? This has been covered/talked about since the leak happened like 4 to 5 days ago. Geez LOOK AROUND!

1. If your phone is rooted then you will NOT get an OTA update NOR will you be able to manually update your phone. Must remove the root first.
2. This totally depends on you on what you want. Look around the forum and see if the new update is right for you with all its pros & cons.
My phone ran the manual update just fine and was rooted. Lost root, of course, after the update though.

I thought having a custom recovery was the issue, not root. You must have the stock recovery.
I am running EB 1.05 rooted Faux kernel. Ran update check and got prompted to download update.
Am I the only one who has still not gotten the OTA? I called a service rep and he said the rollout doesn't end until August 31, so they can't do anything until it officially ends. Has anyone had any luck getting them to push to update out to them?
This is a cluster @?!#. TMobile nor LG has any clue as to what's going on. Before I updated I talked a Rep. They said use LG updater...I believe they pulled the ota due to it bricking devices. Look in the dev section. There is some posts that cover some of this. Imo the only thing good out of the update was the baseband.

According to T-Mobile support website the OTA is completed as of August 10 and you have to use the LG updater. I used it with no issues.

Thanks. I've been weary of using the lg updater because of all the phone-bricking horror stories, but I guess I'll have to give it a shot.
Thank you Ph. I was fishing for that link to post.
I did the updater on 3 phones no issues. If your rooted you will lose it. Don't remember about cwm. But nvflash will work. Look for xboarders stock total and flash it if you need root. Folow the instructions...any questions please ask.

Yea just make sure to follow the instructions on LG's site for updating. Especially make sure you download and install the drivers they have posted. And while the updater is running don't get impatient and unplug anything. Just let it do it's thing until its done.

Yea the update overwrites cwm recovery and you lose root. After the update just reflash cwm and then flash your rom of choice.

I talked to a Tmo rep on August 12th, as soon as I found out they ended the roll out. The rep told me to use the LG updater also (which I did without a hitch), but he told me that if I wanted it OTA he would put my IMEI on a list which consisted of phones that will eventually get the roll out. He told me it was up to Google to send them out from here on out and that it could take months for them to send it out. I don't know if he was talking out of his ass, or just pushing me towards the LG updater, I'm just sayin'..
Google has no part in our update process.

I am starting to think that tmo is getting a "short timer" attitude. The hold time is getting longer, reps seem to not really care any more. And all of the post that have filled this forum about call made to customer service. The hole pointing fingers at LG and Google about who is responsible for up dates. I use to love tmo but I really believe it is turnning into at&t.
Any how coocoo how did your update turn out? Any one else have questions?
I also used the LG updater with no problem. Like Ph said, be patient and don't unplug anything until it's done doing its thing.

I still havent updated because im very happy with how my froyo rom is set up. I would like the new baseband though. If i use the lg updater and then re-root and restore my rom will the baseband stick? I know that doing a nandroid also backs up the baseband or it did with the G1 atleast. Also is the new baseband worth it?

Flashing and backing up and restoring roms won't touch your baseband so nothing to worry about there. As for updating and "re-rooting" the update will restore stock recovery so after updating you need to reflash clockworkmod recovery using the nvflash tool. Then you either restore one of your backups or flash a rom, even flash back to froyo. The baseband will stay updated. If you want stock 2.3.3 but rooted then there is a rooted version in the dev section. The stock 2.3.3 update can't be rooted with superoneclick.
Yea man its simple u could do what Ph said, if u like ur froyo rom that much just back it up, then flash stock recovery back on, I didn't unroot the update will overrite that, then update, so like I said make a nandroid, then flash stock recovery with tgagunmans one click flasher (super easy) don't worry about unrooting its how I did it basically u really just need the stock recovery image people weren't doing that and getting bricks, now Ph said he did it without touching recovery but just to be safe flash back to stock, so after that just update then after the update restore ur froyo backup and bamm!!! U will have new baseband and root again just like that whole process takes 15 minutes, the baseband stays on ur phone it cannot be erased nor flashed unless using lg update so once u have it ur golden

Did a factory data reset with cwm then restored stock recovery. Updated with lg updater, flashed cwm recovery restored my nandroid of my froyo rom and booted up. Now i have my same rom with the new baseband. Thanks guys. The last phone i had rooted was a G1 and flashing nandroids could also restore the radio so i figured the same would happen with the G2x.
Dear Moderators/Members.
I am having LG G2X rooted with Super One Click. How can I upgrade to 2.3 Gingerbread. I tried to manually update from LG’s Mobile Support site but failed. I think the reason is my phone is rooted not original, right?

Being rooted should not affect the updater. What will affect it is if you deleted any system files or changed them since rooting. If you have deleted or changed system files and you want to use the LG Updater you need to return to stock rom first. Or you can use the KDZ method to flash the new GB rom with new baseband. The new baseband improves the phones performance quite a bit.
If you don't care about getting the new baseband you can just flash the stock rooted rom available in the development section. You will have GB but the March baseband.

All bloatware are "system files." So my original answer covered that. Bloat Freezer should be used to disable bloat instead of deleting it. Freezing them doesn't interfere with OTA updates.
Actually the LG updater doesn't care whats going on in system.
When I used the updater, I was running CWM and Eagle'sBlood Froyo, and I was able to update successfully. All I had to do afterwards was re-flash CWM.
I'm pretty sure all the LG updater cares about is that your firmware is v10f.

You sure you didn't use the KDZ method? That would not care. But the LG Updater certainly does check many things before allowing a flash, among them checking md5 checksums for all the files in the previous rom to make sure they are all there and as delivered.
Nope. No KDZ method.
I had CWM, and EBFroyo, which is heavily stripped compared to stock.
The LG updater is very lax.
I've a rooted G2X that's still running 2.2. Just over an hour ago I got a "T-Mobile Update Service." notification. Surprisingly there's no talk of a fresh OTA here so I'm not really sure what's going on. Not that an OTA would work for me since I'm rooted, but I guess it's going to keep bugging me until I do something about it.
2.3.3 was all the rage about a month or so ago.

Well, sure, but all news says that T-mobile stopped doing OTAs some time ago (started late July, stopped August 10). So why on earth is my phone just getting it now? I even do a manual check every so often and never got it. I didn't do anything special today that I can recall.
you should update it. you dont have nothing to lose. ifd your still rooted it will unroot but then you can flash nvflash recovery and go back to any rooted roms you want

T-Mobile removed the 2.3.3 update from their servers long ago. If you are getting something else it is new most likely. You can do an OTA if you are rooted as long as you have not modified any system files other than adding su and superuser.apk to get root..

Well, I let it update but of course it just booted into CWM instead of doing anything. I'm guessing I'd have to flash back to stock in order to apply any OTA. If someone tells me what to search for I can run logcat and see what it downloaded, but I didn't see anything obvious when I looked (and there's a lot of stuff in there).
I'm on froyo to and rooted but no clockwork mod recovery. I tried to check for an update and it said some kind of error i dont remember.

Check in the /cache directory for the zip file for tthe update. If you can, before you install it can you save a copy of the zip to a separate area on your sdcard and thn upload it to a file sharing site so others can download it? Once you install it, it gets deleted from the /cache directory but if you save it elsewhere those copies will be saved.

Yes, you need to be on stock recovery and your phone's system partition must be stock. LG stores some OTAs very differently than other vendors.
Do a backup of your phone first to preserve the OTA image. It might be in the cache but it might be elsewhere. If you wouldn't mind giving me a link to the system and cache images I can try to find the OTA and see what it is for.
I just got the 2.3.3 ota update about 2 weeks ago which i thought was real late also. I used to check for the update and i would always get an error too. i was rooted in stock froyo for tmobiles g2x (LG P999DW). I didnt have to re-root the phone and last night i just flashed clockworkmod recovery and flashed the 1.55ghz overclocking kernel on to the 2.3.3 that i got from the ota update.

Did you flash roms and then restore an old backup? That backup could have had the OTA on it and you did not notice it before. T-Mobile pulled the OTA months ago (was available less than two weeks). Doesn't seem likely it was pushed to you recently.
