I have a stock O2 UK O3D. LG website says update available, phone says I have the latest version (v10k) which is 2.2 so I run LG updater on the laptop and click its update history tool which says "s/w v21a" as if it thinks I have gb.
I cannot find who provides my updates, it's definitely not O2, maybe if I rooted it I could find who supplies them via a config file or else I will be stuck with Froyo forever

If you are operator locked and in the UK you will get the update december 5th.
It is due 5th of December in UK. However, you can flash the official ROM, see development forum.
According to the operator (O2) my phone is not supported by them for updates, and the phone seller has no idea who sends them. Will wait for december and see.
Thanks
Dave
I am with O2 but didn't get my O3D from them. Up until I flashed it last night it was still on 10D!
So nobody from O2 updated my handset.
I have to wait as if flash phone and mess it up cant replace it
Dave
You can try removing your sim card and selecting another country in the LG updater if your phone is not simlocked by O2.
Flashing the official rom isn't that hard either. I can't get the update either so I just followed the tutorial for kdz flashing and had GB on the phone in about 15 minutes without losing apps and messages/contacts etc.
If you're not sure about flashing then it's probably best to just wait. The update will be provided by LG themselves eventually through the update utility.
Think I will wait, have flashed phones before (put gb on my gt540) but knowing what cwn go wrong I daren't risk a contract phone as got two years til can replace it.

Same problem
I have an open phone in sweden. When uptating my phone i got v10k and i cant get v21a. Every check i updater and outside shows no possible update, but v10k. If i check update history in the updater it says v21a.
It is now a matter for the support and in the hands of the mobile phone expert. They have to solve the problem under the sales contract.
I got mine from a company that sells lots of different phones with various providers contracts so although my sim contract is with O2 in the UK the updates are not and the seller doesn't push ota updates so I have no idea how to find out where they come from.
Although I have rooted the phone now so if anyone knows a system file that stores details of where the update check connects to and replies with it I can check that

Hey all,
I have an India model Sensation and I haven't received the OTA update as of yet. I called HTC and they advised that the update is not available in that region yet.
I've tried to use the Tmobile version but it doesn't work.
If any one has the European update file I'd be very grateful if they can post it somewhere I can download it.
No OTA update for myself either
Hi,
I have an unlocked/sim free retail box of the HTC Sensation which was given to my by HTC (long story). I live in Ireland and I have not received the OTA update yet either. My friend is on Vodafone IE and has got the software update, I assumed I would have had it pushed to my handset first but this has not been the case. I have tried keying in ' *#*#checkin#*#* ' to get any missed updates but nothing available yet. Does anyone else have this problem with an unlocked handset?
If possible as above I'd like the updatepackage.zip .
Lastly I'm on O2 IRL who don't carry the Sensation but I don't think that would matter as my handset is not branded to their network, any ideas on any other trouble shooting I could do?
Hello, i have the sensation z710e and i just decided to flash over to the 'real stock experience rom'. The rom runs on android 2.3.3 and when i tried to search for software updates it actually found something! so i was just wondering, would it be alble to find the ics update when it comes to the uk with my carrier?
Should do, but the update will be coming from HTC instead of the provider if it was a ROM that's not one that's branded by the network i.e. it's from a SIM Free phone.
god damnit!!!! i downloaded the update ( took ages with my internet ) and a message appeared saying that it cant update because i have modified my phone. I know that i can use ruu files to get back to stock but i'm s-on with hboot 1.23 so it wont work. Do you think its about time i call up htc???
Edit: right screw i'm staying sem-bricked, this is from HTC, "I am unable to provide an accurate however from experience this can cost upward of £100". I am not paying that much to have my phone repaired.
Last time When I went to USA for business trip, I Bought ATT G2 (D800) model.
Now i'm living on South korea.
Currently my ATT G2 have v20c version and I want to upgrade for v20y without rooting.
Because all of korean Banking and credit card app run threaten scan and if rooting related files found on phone, it won't run by security problem.
But, When I tried software update every time, it just loop "Not yet registered" popup occur and I won't 20y update from ATT FOTA server.
And I also doesn't have ATT or ATT Go phone sim. If I get or borrow ATT SIM and connect on Wifi, Can I get a 20y OTA from oeversea?
Exactly, Am i need a ATT SIM or Go Phone SIM for successfully get a OTA file ? also that ATT sim must be activated on ATT account ?
I think some of my colleagues have a deactivated ATT go phone sim. But i'm worry that this deactivated sim also can get a OTA from ATT FOTA server.
I need a brothers opinion or success story who can success got a OTA from oversea and not ATT(like T-mobile or H2o or Straghit talk... ) environment.
I also got the same problem with you. Hope someone will help us

I did. Worked fine. I needed the files which i couldnt find on the internet but managed to dig in deep and after a month or so , found them.
I reently became a happy owner of black XZP and i love it but there is one thing that irritates me, it came with Orange branded software. My question is, can i flash original unbranded software (when flashtool will provide this option) without loosing IMEI,DRM keys, bravia engine and such ? And where can i find this kind of software ?
Also i heard from SONY centre Poland, that even if i do this myself somehow, it will return to the branded software with next software update as the software is tied to phones IMEI...
Would be gratefull for some extended explanation on this. Thanks.
Probably not since it probably locked to the Orange. You will need to get the network unlock code first before flashing a generic firmware.
Well I know that the XZ Premiums in Australia aren't locked, my friend got one from Telstra and then uses an Optus SIM in it.
Flashing generic FW won't cause you to lose DRM keys, etc, since only unlocking the bootloader will cause that stuff to be affected.
Also, even if the phone is network locked, I don't see why generic FW would affect that - That should only impact what carrier SIM you can use on the phone.
I used newflasher to flash customized UK version on my Vodafone branded version a couple of days ago, and received update for customized UK version this morning, updated ok, no probs.

I flashed mine two days ago on Windows 10 v1607.
I used the "old" version linked in the other thread. It is right that virus total show that there is some malware but only 2 of 64 AV product say that, I think that is a false positive.
First download your firmware with XperiFirm, pay attention on device version (single or dual sim)
Download Sony companion app and try to make a software repair (until it ask you to shutdown the phone and connect it with volume down button pressed), it will download and install Sony official flash driver (needed for flash the firmware with newflasher).
After that abort Sony software repair and download newflasher.
Go to the firmware folder extract partition.zip (this will allow new flasher to flash partition layout)
Also move away from the folder sim-lock.ta for security purpose (new flasher should have a check but bug can exist)
Copy newflasher.exe to the firmware folder
Shutdown the phone, press volume down button and plug-in the usb cable (Same instruction of Sony companion app), you should see windows driver configuration.
Wait driver configuration to finish and then run newflasher.exe as administrator
Wait until it finish (some system files flash can take minutes to flash don't worry) and check if there are errors in log.
Had problems with yellow triangle in driver but after using companion software per your instruction drivers got installed and everything went ok, flashed central eu version 1 and I'm happy now Many thanks!

Can anyone tell me if there is newer software for this phone on AT&T?
Currently:
Model LM-G900UM
SW VERSION G900UM10e
Security June 1, 2020
I'm reading there is a version G out, but I'm not getting an update. I even tried a new SIM.
I have the Canadian version, same model and no we haven't had a software update here either
From my knowledge the only ones that have gotten an update are the international unlocked versions which are running the Snapdragon 845
At&t has had two security updates and they're not getting to me. No one at at&t seems to know what to do.
So, this saga has finally ended. My firmware was G900UM10e. VPN bug, and phone would not take OTA. It kept saying I had the latest firmware. To their credit, AT&T support DID try everything. The phone wouldn't even take a push from their servers. New SIM card, factory reset, nada.
So, they sent a warranty replacement with G900UM10n loaded. VPN works perfect. I NEED it for work. And, today I managed to get G900UM10o over the air.
Either the IMEI of my old phone was MAJORLY hard bricked on their update server, or there was a bug in 10e blocking OTA.
Anyhoo, just wanted to share.

I haven't tried the VPN, but I would like to update to Android 11, and I am still stuck with the June 1, 2020 security patch on android 10 with the software version of G900UM10e and my model number is LM-G900UM. I got mine from the USA but am currently living in South Africa, so is there any way that I can fix this issue?
Only if you have an AT&T Sim card. You can't do an OTA update unless it's on the AT&T network.
e is the variant I got stuck on. Since I got my warranty replacement, I've gotten numerous updates, including Android 11.

So basically, I can't ever receive updates unless I get an AT&T SIM card and are on their wireless network?

Correct.
Well, that sucks. Do you know of any way to bypass it, or is there a custom ROM that I can install on this variant of the LG Velvet?
