Don't we have to have the boot loader unlock first to flash that file cause I believe we have to fastboot it?

That I am unsure of. But if the update is all signed, then it should take? Just a guess.

My update just came through finally

if you boot into recovery, there is an option to install update from SD card. I would assume you would just download that update file, place on the root of the SD card, choose that option in recovery, and select the file and it would update.
I just got my update this morning...this is the first OTA update i have taken in over 3 years....lol

I got the update just after midnight.

Has anyone actually gotten the OTA?

Not this leaked ota or soak test but an actual OTA? Still waiting on it.

This was pushed to me at 6PM EST on 12-20. I'm not part of MFN nor did I receive any of the emails or surveys normally associated with the soak test.

Still waiting also. Been trying to update for the past week. No go. Hopefully soon.

Still waiting myself. Been checking everyday. Even tempted to just go ahead and do the update from the zip that's been floating around in the forums.

Same here. I'm looking forward to the update to get the new notification system for use with my Pebble watch. But I'm not going to risk installing the OTA manually again through stock recovery.

Just flash the sbf files and don't bother with an OTA? Just sayin... If you want it that bad.
I would need a new computer to get the SBF flashed. My gear is not picking up this phone. Worked fine on my RAZR. Stuck waiting. Surprised it has been this long of a wait.

4.4 is awesome
i also flashed it without issues....un-rooted maxx
I tried again and got it to work this time. Too bad this phone is being sent back.

I am glad I didn't participate in this soak nor get the update. It's causing a lot of problems.
Honestly I think what we have here is possibly an influx of users coming from devices like the galaxy nexus that were easier to modify. Lots of one click tools. This whole rock my moto thing for rooting 4.2.2 looked intimidating. Glad I was able to keep root with pwnmymoto.
I do think it's kinda funny. I had jelly bean and Google now since August 2012. Everyone of my friends this spring kept trying to show me the new features. I'm like Ahh they're not new! Alas my payback has arrived. My ppl with gs4s are all like kit kat neener neener. Least I can be all like verizon grandfathered unlimited data neener neener!
I wonder if the day will come when sbfs can be released earlier and more available?
How are these people who manually updated and bricked their phones getting replacements? Must be bc of the non rooted folks who bricked just by simply updating. Either way I'm glad it's covered.

Take the phone to the store and they will try recovery, reset, etc. and then send a replacement.

If you're attempting to flash the update manually you must do so twice. The first pass will update the bootloader and recovery perhaps a couple other smaller things. Regardless the main update is the second pass through. If you haven't applied the update twice from your SD Memory you can likely repair it yourself. Worst case just run the 4.4 sbf...

So Im assuming if they are having so many problems with the verizon OTA that they just stopped pushing it until they get a fix?
Sad day. I was so excited. I dont want to deal with rooting so I was hoping this would happen.

Again, you don't have to be rooted to flash the update. I'm not rooted and I flashed it yesterday with no problems at all. Took about 10 minutes beginning to end.

AT&T LG G2 update (not Kit Kat)

Looks like att is rolling out an update right now. Here is a link about it:
http://m.androidcentral.com/att-lg-g2-gets-quick-15mb-update-support-future-updates
I have included a screenshot also.
Sent from my LG-D800 using xda app-developers app
As usual kids, if you've rooted and put on a custom recovery or otherwise modified your ROM, DO NOT UPDATE.
And if you plan on rooting in the future, I also advise you to not update. See if the new version can be rooted with the current tools. Loki and the adb exploit have changed on some of the later versions.
LOL
Updating from 10o to 10q.
I don't have high hope seeing KK anytime soon.
Let's see.
Anyone have the radio from the update? I read that there is a new baseband...
I just got this also. Don't see much difference
Sent from my LG-D800 using XDA Premium 4 mobile app
Just when i was about to root and install a custom rom too....i'll see how this version is. Hopefully it fixes the battery drain AT&T background apps have been causing.
Anyone know how to turn off the auto update? I just downloaded like 750mb without realizing it. That's not cool.

Can you post the screenshot?
I just want to see whether the baseband different.
Update: ignore my post, overlook the OP one.
Anyway, based on what OP posted, only Software version changed from 10o to 10q, the baseband is the same.
Auto Download & Install
My G2 automatically downloaded this update and tried to install it, but caused a boot-loop with TWRP.
It was charging in another room so I had not accepted any requests to update, if there were any.
It is fixed, but I am angry that it downloaded and attempted to INSTALL the update on its own.
This is true!!! Only message I got was installing in 30 sec
Sent from my LG-D800 using XDA Premium 4 mobile app
the update only has the support for future updates for the g2,meaning, that it is most likely setting up for the 4.4 update. who knows when thats gonna happen though. hopefully soon
I guess this explains why my phone mysteriously booted into TWRP and i went into a bootloop while the phone was in my pocket during a meeting. I was able to fix it by following this http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2451696 Hope this helps anyone in need.

Not able to update my nexus 5 to KitKat 4.4.4 using OTA

I saw on the Internet that KitKat 4.4.4 with security bug fixes has been launched only for nexus 5 through OTA but when I check for updates, the phone says your system is up to date. I'm running stock android 4.4.3 unrooted. Why is this happening? Any help regarding this?
P.S. - I don't want to update using factory images. Only using OTA. Want to know why my phone is unable to get the update.
Thank you

They roll out in stages. You'll have to be patient or check out the ota help in the general forum and download the ota zip

Don't worry. I've not received it either. Google sucks with updates and gives absolutely no change log or support. Apple walks all over them in this area. I've read it may take two to three weeks for everyone to get it.

and thats why on update day at apple it takes 12+ hrs for the update to download because their servers are hammered.
pick your poison.
I'd definitely take the staged rollout. No question. Then again, I never wait for an ota. There are plenty of other options available if you're not patient enough to wait. Even waiting for the ota, you'll still get the update before most other devices. Some won't get it at all. Wait, or go a different route. Simple.

I don't understand why people who are so desperate for the update don't just install a custom recovery and flash the zip.
Or just adb sideload like a savage.

Newest stock OTA zip inside, will someone root it for us?

OTA file to bring the m8 on Verizon up to 4.17.605.9 and patch stage fright exploit.
Would a dev be kind enough to put together a rooted version on this? I do not know what else is included in this update so feel free to grab it from my Dropbox and tear it open. ? thanks in advance!

Getting mine too
Hey guys, I have a question I hope someone can help me out with. I have the sm-g935v which I flashed to sm-g935u. I'm considering flashing it to sm-g935t since the unlocked firmware will be getting quarterly updates which is unfortunate, and I would like to use samsung cloud, FM radio, and now Nougat. Would I have to factory reset my phone back to the verizon firmware before flashing tmobile's, or can I just flash from my current unlocked firmware straight to tm? Prior to Nougats release, I had downloaded the latest tmobile firmware and tried to flash it with no success so not sure what I did wrong. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
OTA
Won't taking the OTA update certain partitions we don't necessarily want to update? Like the BL, for example? Could this prevent rolling back to 6.0.1 if there are issues? Or does this not matter since we don't have an unlocked BL anyway? Thanksssss
Apparently I do not see that update on my phone as of now

The update is for T-Mobile users using the T firmware. You are on the US Unlocked firmware.
I got this also and updated this morning. Very smooth and loving it! Did OTA update and one thing i noticed after updating i wasn't able to clear my cache like before. When i power down, hold all 3 buttons (power, home and up key) get a screen more like a warning saying installing other firmware's or roms can damage my device. Not the exact wording but similar. Has anyone else tried doing that and got the same warning msg?
