I had to do the date forward trick to get it to download. It downloaded and installed 100% successful. My phone is stock as the day I bought it. Some people say they have seen "failed" install from being rooted, but it still installs.
Testing, and will report back.

Can you tell me how you did this?

Yeah, I got the failed update and now it won't power on at all.
If anyone knows what to do please let me know.

Just set your calendar one day ahead.

I just want to know how this update would effect a rooted phone.... i am currently running SRE 1.3.1c

It seems like anyone with a rooted phone might get an error, but it still installs fine. First impressions is actually really good. The phone feels a little faster. The videos are smoother and so is the gallery. When I opened maps it found my location instantly instead of getting the %waiting for location" message. Accuracy was 1000 meters, but I didn't turn on the GPS.
Also the signal strength and internet speed seems much faster. And stronger for me

Just updated mine. Gps is a lot faster! I can even get a lock when indoors now.
I can no longer access the gps menu through the dialer though.

The OTA update now allows me to go into the three button recovery mode. I couldn't do this before.

Does anyone know if we have an unlocked Captivate on another carrier, will be be getting the update? If not, how does one go about getting it?

Installed fine on my rooted phone gps seems snappy but I can't really test right now. Media scan still taking a while but the phone is less laggy while it's running.
So far so good considering I was ready to ditch this phone yesterday. Temporary rage reduction for me.

Downloading now....

Dropped connection during d/l now I cant get it to d/l at all even after a rommanger restore.

I manually checked for a software update on my rooted Captivate, and after downloading and rebooting, I got a message saying the update was not installed.

Mine isn't even showing an update available. I've set the date forward to tomorrow, the 24th, the 25th, 26th, 27th, none show an update available...grrrr...
Any link to the software other than OTA?

Update not installed but baseband version changed to JH7.

I don't notice any difference on a factory-software phone. GPS still does not work indoors at all. I'll try in my vehicle later.

Just tried the update
on my rooted/bloatware deleted phone got a message along the lines of "Update Not Completed. Your phone was not updated successfully." Didn't brick my phone though, thank god. Anyone else get this message?

Same here, on the white screen after installing the update it got to 50% and failed. Check my firmware still says jf6 with 2.6.29 [email protected] #2 kernel

I just went to download it on my sister's phone since hers is still factory stock, unrooted, etc...
Nothing at all. Didn't even download the update. Now I can't check for another 24 hours.

Update has gone! (It's back and solved)

I started the software updater earlier and sure enough it reported an update was available. I was going out so thought I'd do it tonight when I had more time and clicked cancel. I ran the updater again tonight (several times) but now all I get is the "current version is the latest version" message. wtf?

This happens all the time.

try take out your sim then restart phone, if not, try turn off your phone for 10min, then turn on and try again, if still nothing, try change time/date for your phone and wait about 15mins. if not, then try contact LG?

This update can be only done via wifi so your gonna want to switch on your wifi..
What i did to get it was switch wifi off then on..

not sure if it's actually true, first time when on my ex-Incredible S receiving OTA update, I was on mobile internet (3G) :/

Yes the wifi is on (I turned it off and on again too) and I'm on June 16th firmware and in the UK
It definitely gave me an update option this afternoon, but not now?
Maybe they found a problem with the July update and pulled it?

no, it won't, otherwise we all would be recommended to force back-up ours.
just try my methods, if not working, try update via PC with LG Support Tool, if it's unsuccesful, it should give you another go for update via OTA after couple hours.

Just tried again and the update was there again, I've downloaded it and its updating now. Maybe the servers were overloaded?

Edit.......now up and running again with the 8th July 2011 firmware update

Hows the stability, I am having some frustration with this update.
Some process went awol overnight, had 85% power when I went to bed, woke me up with the "phone turning off" sound as the battery had drained.
Tried using a third party camera app which worked on the June firmware, no picture on the July firmware. Tried a few times, got a picture once. Then tried to go back on the official camera app and the phone locked up with a black screen.
So generally I find the new firmware is awesome for 1080p video now, but a lot more unstable. I'm hoping we will get another update next month addressing these issues and hopefully improving still photo quality.
I just hope the Android 2.3 update does not cause any regression of problems once its out, although I suspect these improvements are somewhat a gradual upgrade to what 2.3 will have (none base OS components) to ready the phone for 2.3.
It already looks like it has the 2.3 kernel based on what I read the kernel versions were supposed to be for each Android release.

Just tried to update the wife's phone, same result, no update! This is a pita, I'll try again later. Not had chance to test the update yet, I'll see how it behaves today.

GB OTA in Arizona

Has anyone in Arizona received the GB OTA update yet? I used the LG tool, but my wife's has still not updated. Same goes for a few friends with the G2x.

Yes i live in phoenix and i got the OTA GB update on 7/27/2011
I did a manual check for updates and i got it.

not even sure if they are still rolling them out, cause of all the complaints and issues still. do this *#*#2432546#*#* that will check you in for the update, and you can go see if it's starting to download or not through the settings.

Thanks guys I'll try that.
EDIT: ok it checked me in, but I didn't notice anything else (although it told me that I had some apps that needed to be updated). Where do I find out in settings if it is downloading? I went to the about phone >software update and it is giving me the conection failed message. I used to get "upto date already".

Are you on a good connection or wifi? Can't remember if wifi messes with it or not haven't done an ota update since the g1... try on 4g no wifi.

I have tried both, but mainly 4g.

Sprint software update

After doing some digging I see there is a new LS996ZV5 update. I am rooted so have not gotten any OTA notifications. Has anyone gotten it and does it help with lag and battery?
My phone seems pretty snappy as is but always want the latest if possible.
Guess one last thing. What are thoughts on timetable of custom recovery and maybe some rooted roms for us Sprint users?
Any discussion welcome!

Got the update OTA this morning (I am stock). Phone is absolutely flying now.
Not sure on battery life yet as it's only been a couple of hours since I updated.

I unrooted and took the system update. It wasn't the new firmware though. Not sure what it was. I tried to have phone look for firmware update afterwards and it didn't show the new one yet.

I'm rooted and received the android system update notification this morning. Should I proceed, or is that a bad idea if rooted?

it won't work while rooted, i've tried, twice. i'm waiting on the update prompt again to try my next thing, but if you want to try it feel free. if you open up superuser and go to the settings there is an option to fully unroot the device, its towards the bottom. After you do that restart and then try and apply the update.
let me know if it works! hopefully i get the update prompt again in the morning and will finally be able to get this thing updated!!!!

So curious as to what this update was. All I know is that today my battery life isn't nearly as good. Normally after working for 8hrs my phone is around 75%... Today it was at 40%... Massive difference and i did nothing out of the ordinary

That sounds like my phone, I've noticed that I Google services is using more battery than the screen recently.
Sent from my LG-H959 using XDA Free mobile app

My battery life has actually been really good. I was getting 15-20 hrs before the update and now I am getting 25-30 hours after. (Light use)

My battery seems pretty good also. Plus it does appear the widgets are loading faster and less jumpiness between screens. Rerooted after the update and all seems fine so far

i didn't get prompted with the update again this morning so i wasn't able to try anything to get my phone to update today. if someone hasn't applied the update yet but has the prompt would you be able to grab the update file and post it? i'll do the same if i get the update prompt again and nothing has been posted yet. at least that way we can try stuff without having to wait for it to decide to check for an update since the manual update check doesn't appear to do anything.....

Hmmmm. I guess I'll use GServiceFix app. See if that solves my issues
---------- Post added at 09:04 AM ---------- Previous post was at 08:59 AM ----------
Yeah. Its the android system using the battery. Used this fix app before and it solved my problems. Hopefully its still reliable.

again this morning, no update prompt and the "check for update" function continues to say i'm up to date. because i had issues with my first two i signed up for sprint insurance. if i don't get prompted for the update by monday morning i'll stop in a sprint store and see if i can get it swapped again. only problem with that is chancing getting one that overheats or has a bad screen like my previous two did

i rooted and got the OTG upgrade message, and i try but it show error and said my device is rooted then can't upgrade software. Then i try to use "fully unroot" in supersu, the supersu gone, but the error still shown. do anyone know how to unroot and upgrade? thank you very much!

sorry, you are stuck there are a couple of other threads with further discussion on it but so far no one has been able to get the OTA to apply after they have rooted. some of us have been able to get new devices through sprint with having their insurance and play it off as the OTA won't update. they have had enough issues with the device they don't really question it.

can you post the zv5 ota files here. i need it to save my dead phone

Help! On screen buttons not working!
I really need help. I factory reset my LG G Flex 2 cause I wanted to erased my info and give it as a present to my father for his birthday next october 14 and now the onscreen buttons don't respond, only the back button, nor the multitasking or home button. I turned it off and on, reset it several times, cleared the partition cache or whatever it is called but no luck, mine is running LS996ZV5. It was perfect before the reset. I feel so bad. Thanks in advance for your help.

ATT LG G4 Marshmallow is rolling

G4 6.0 update rolling to ATT users soon per ATT support page 2/8/16.

goo.gl/q8WswX

Probably in a few more months or the the end of the year it will be rolling out for the V10 also. I will never understand why their so backwards with releasing updates new flagship phones no updates but phones that have been out for over a year updates.

This was mentioned in another thread created 2 days ago.

Mine is downloading the update now

I just got the notification for the update, but I'm rooted, so I'll wait a bit...

Updated

That didn't go well. The update install process crashed, and now my phone won't boot past the LG screen. Factory reset does not work. The screen goes black about 15 seconds after starting reset.

Were you rooted at the time of the update?

Nope not rooted. After some research, I believe my phone suffered from the boot loop issue that some early production G4's have, and had nothing to do with the update. I contacted LG support and they are going service it and return it on their dime.
So I bought a Nexus 6p.?

Interestingly enough, other G4 user's that are local and on AT&T have gotten the notification for MM, but I haven't and nothing comes up as available from Update Center or on LG Bridge.
Any ideas why my phone is left out? Totally stock, non rooted.

Not sure exactly what the criteria, but it seems to be randomly allowing the update. I set my phone to a week in the future and checked again and it let me update the second time.

Do this. For me, today It said your phone is up to date. Then when I left my house, I got the update found message, connect to Wi-Fi to update. When I returned, it told me to try in 20 hours so by turning the clock forward a few days in the Date & Time section, sure enough, I am downloading the update now.

Try updating through the "about phone" settings page, I was rooted when I got the notice. AT&T sections out updates to keep load off their servers, sometimes it can take up to two weeks to a month before the update pushes to all users :/

Been there done that...No Updates Available.

Is your G4 unlocked? Are you on AT&T network?

I'm on AT&T's network, and it's locked.
Update- I got it to update itself to MM -- here's how I did it. I first flashed it to 10o from 10g using the Back to Stock/TOT Method from another thread. For whatever reason, my phone was 'stuck' on 10g, which prevented it from updating to anything newer. Once I flashed it to 10o, it instantly came up with 'An update is available', and downloaded the OTA for MM.
