I used SHIELD RAM to reflash back to stock (was previously rooted on KitKat) which went fine but I can't convince the Shield to get any updates, it just says "Your system is up to date".
I tried doing a factory reset from Recovery Mode but still nothing. I wondered if something had gone wrong so I ran RAM again and did another full restore but am still having the same problem. Help?
I did reset erase all data in options and that appeared to fix the problem for me. What happened was the OTA update wouldn't download

Thanks eikast, I've just tried that too but the problem remains. If I go to Settings -> About Shield -> System Updates -> Check Now it simply says "Your system is up to date" even though it's running 4.3 (build no JSS15J.01.00.14422.0068)

I'm in the UK. I managed to get some help from Josh at Nvidia and he reset the OTA flag their end and the update popped up instantly. It seems Nvidia add devices which have had the update (or think have had it) to a 'group' which can then prevent those devices seeing it again.

This has happened to me quite a few times... simply use it a few days, it will eventually tell you to update. Other than that, I've never gotten it to manually see the update.
Clearing the data for Google services worked for me.

After the phone rebooted and failed when i click "Software Update" i get "no firmware" and it won't let me retry. Also should we even be trying to update from what I'm reading this update was not approved or released by Samsung.
. .
Yeah that doesn't work after every reboot i get "The Update was not completed. No update is applied to your phone". You hit "ok" go to Software Update and "no firmware" and i did change the date. So from this stand point i have no way to even check for a update.
I beleive what is happening is that the phone some how tries to "resume" the update when you click the 'software update' button. I get the "failed update no update" message every time i reboot my phone, and i have the 'no firmware' error. I restored a backup from yesterday, the failed update message went away and i could get to the check updates screen but it would fail to connect to the servers (and still threw me in to a 24h wait ((has anyone found the file/setting that has that info in it?))) so i restored the backup i did before i restored, and i got the failed update error once. but not anymore, and i am now able to check for updates and download it.. (still fails on prepairing) ((keep in mind this latest restore was earlier giving me the 'no firmware' error))
sorry for the runon.. im way too tired to care right now... blasted phone is tickin me off LOL its 1/2 updated and im not sure if its working 100% anymore
Same issue
I have the same issue. I updated my phone before going to bed, and I do not remember if it was successful or not. It looks like it was, from my build# and the fact that I have QuickOffice app now. I originally received the text that an update was available.
Since the update, every time I restart my phone (10+ times) it says "Congratulations! New software update for phone now installed. Phone is now ready for use".
However I just get the "No Firmware" when I try to update, where previously it would only allow me to check every 24 hours.
Firmware version. : 2.1update1
Baseband version. : I897UCJH7
Kernel version. : 2.6.29 [email protected] #2
Build number. : ECLAIR.UCJH7

For this particular situation the only thing I've found in my research is to do a factory reset, which "solved" the message reappearing every time the phone boots and allows you to check for new firmware.
I was having the exact same issue and was able to use the Kies Mini to update. Super easy and worked perfectly! There is a sticky about how to do it in the main part of this forum

Did you try this - http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=8394579&postcount=4 ?
It clears the log that doesn't let you try again for 24hrs, so this may also fix your problem. It's worth a try, anyway.

Ok, when I get home from work I'll try Kies. With all the issues reported with it, I was going to wait and see if they released an updated version.

Yeah this is not a problem with the whole "only able to check for updates once a day" thing. This is one of the many problems from the OTA attempt at an update.

Hello,
So I finally got the notification to download OTA Lollipop today, which I did. Problem is, when I went to install it, the phone restarted, an ERROR screen popped up. I restarted the phone, the update wasn't installed and now when I "Check for Updates" it says I'm up to date.
How can I install the update without side-loading it?

I had the exact same issue but it sounds like a good thing it didn't update from all the issues everyone keeps posting all over the net. Is your device rooted? OTA only works on completely stock devices I read somwhere.
I too ran into this problem. But before i returned my phone to stock i converted it to kali linux. At first i thought it was an encryption issue, so i restored my phone. I still received the error message.
To install kali linux i had to unlock the boot loader, then flash the software. I returned to stock by wiping, flashing stock, then locking the boot loader.
With Xposed not supporting 5.0 I am thinking of stating 4.4.4
I want to stay at 4.4.4. Can't get rid of the Update nag -- and I've tried everything.

I found my problem. My gps.conf file was edited by Faster GPS. I forgot to revert before the OTA and thus my error occurred. I hope this helps.
I'm still getting the same issue after supposed install:
I've had the OTA notification for a while but it won't install. It downloads and then when it does the reboot I see it trying to update then I get the 'Red Triangle'. It reboots again back to 4.4.4
Phone was rooted but still using the stock ROM so I did a factory restore, I'm still getting the same issue.
Any ideas?
Thanks in advance

I got this update a few days ago on my rooted Tmobile G2. Applying the update bricked my phone, as it was stuck in a recovery boot loop. Had to use this:
http://forums.androidcentral.com/ge...ricked-lg-g2-stuck-twrp-no-download-mode.html
to get it unstuck. Also, I tried the LG Support Tool to pull the update, but it was trying to download a 1.7gig update. I cancelled it before the install process in the fear that it would bork my phone.
Has anyone gotten the update to install successfully on their phone? (rooted)
I got the update but didn't run it. I learned my lesson last time. I'd love to know what it brings and how to install it though.

I'm there but can't figure out how to type in terminal command, can you help me out with this? I'm stuck in the recovery boot loop.
*EDIT* nevermind I figured it out after a factory reset though UGH!
I also got the update notification. I deleted 213MB upgrade file in cashe. It was in the root of cashe folder not in /cashe/foa/. I still get the stupid upgrade notification. How can we kill it? I have Titanium backup but software MUC is not an option on our phones.
OK found how to turn it off. Long press the update, App Info pops up, uncheck show notifications. Clear cashe and then reboot.
You can use stomproot (brute force method) to root this OTA. towelroot won't work. Before applying OTA, make sure custom recovery is replaced with stock recovery. Otherwise you will end up in boot loop.

Can confirm this works...thanks...autorec still works as well
If I have not installed a custom recovery, but just rooted the phone with AutoRec, will it soft brick my phone? Since I don't have TWRP or CWM, I would have no way to enter adb shell. So, it sounds like if I soft brick it, I'd have to restore factory settings to get it to boot, right? Are there any significant improvements to the 20g versus the 20e? Thanks.
I got this this morning and installed it...no issues whatsoever. Not sure what its for, but I got it.
Im stock unrooted.
I ended up going with the LG support tool method and installed the update (1.7gigs)...not really sure what the changed though. Root was lost, but I used Stump Root to get it back and everything is normal again. If anyone has the list of changes, plz post

Where exactly do I "long press the update? I deleted the update file from cache but can't find this App Info popup menu. Is it within the file explorer or the settings menu?
Sent from my LG-D801 using XDA Free mobile app
As long as you deleted the update you can safely press the install button...it may or may not actually power off...but if it doesn't just reboot after pressing and the notification will be gone...also to prevent it from downloading in the future you can dial 3845#*80X# and click wlan test then ota setting and click disable...you can re-enable by going through the same process and pressing enable...works for most variants
Mine tried to update: it rebooted, said it was installing while showing a progress bar and then it stopped and restarted. Nothing changed.
Does anyone know what this update is? Preliminary to the lollipop update?
Any idea why my nearly stock system didn't take the update. I am rooted with towel root and several apps disabled and frozen with Titanium.
Thanks

you press and hold on the update in the notification bar and app info will popup.

Same here, just rooted, no custom recovery and went through the update process. Completed update, still on e not upgraded to g
Plugged into LG Mobile Support Tool and updated that way, ran STUMPROOT and bruteforced. Rebooted and had root ^_^ Updated SuperSU binaries and rebooted once more and ran AutoRec. Now time to update everything again and remove the bloat they put back on.
Also to find the dialer code to update touch software, knock on isn't working. :silly:

From what I saw on androidpolice it includes in-flight wifi stuff and some patches. Probably blocking some of the older rooting methods
Took the update last night, i was rooted with stock recovery but it went through just fine. Now when i try to root via StumpRoot it says my device is rooted before i even do anything. I don't have root access though.
Anyone else experience this problem? I've already tried a factory reset but still no-go.
this "update" seems absolutely useless. however, it could be nice to get a flashable radio from it.

Secret Menu
I went to the dialer keypad and typed in 3845#*850#, the 850 is my model number. Change it to your model # and secret menu will appear. Tap on WLAN settings and it will show OTA updates and pick disable. That's it. Worked for me.
Did that but the phone will still try to install. The reason I know is because my phone will be boot looping in twrp. At first I thought I did something crazy until this morning I saw a message saying phone will install update and will reboot in 10 seconds. Good thing is that I have the boot loop fix zip file in my sdcard.
I kept having this happen to me as well, even after disabling the option in the secret menu. I ended up installing the 855 minus 5 ROM.
I actually had that happen as well. My whole system was gone and stuck in twrp. I downloaded the copy of the 10f stock file and the zip fix file. Thought everything was good, then the update popped up again in the notifation bar, so I made a backup in twrp and tried disabling notifications. The next morning it started to auto install and it failed. Stuck in twrp again, ran my backup then disabled notifications again. Haven't seen the update again in the notifications. Hopefully it won't come back.
Using TiBu, I disabled/froze com.leg.lgfota.permission and Software Update and I have not had any issues.

So I tried Titanium Backup. Couldn't figure out how to do it. I also noticed I couldn't send or receive MMS pics. Did some searching and on Google Play, there is an app called Disable Service. Download the app, open it, click on system at the top, scroll down to Google Play Services and click on it. Scroll down to SystemUpdateService and uncheck the box. I also went down to software update and unchecked all 3 of those boxes. Restart your phone and you're done. I also re enabled the setting in the secret menu. Now my pics come through again and the update disappeared when I restarted the phone.
Can the OTA be undone?

This may be a dumb question but I had something similar happen and I'm desperately looking for a way to reverse things. My D850 was rooted, still stock but tweaked to PERFECTION, and I was under the false impression that the OTA checked for root and wouldn't proceed, so when I got the notification that the update was available I dismissed it and didn't think about it. Next morning I woke up to find the OTA happened without any action from me and of course I lost root. The phone is now really sluggish with numerous nuisances and I hate it. AT&T really f'd up my perfect G3. I chose not to factory reset or clear the cache as some have suggested to improve performance. I guess I was hoping that with everything still installed there might be some hope to regain root.
I'm reading about people going back back and flashing zip files but I don't get how it's being done. I did not have a custom recovery installed but I did have a backup with Titanium, although I obviously can't get into that now without root. The really odd thing is that Softcard still thinks it's rooted and won't run. Anybody have any ideas?
Thanks,

I'm afraid you wont be able to go back to rooted kitkat without having to clean install as there is no root for Lollipop yet.

I have NOT received a single nag or download for OTA. I have had these frozen for over two months without seeing any issues in the phone's operations. In fact I waited 10 days after the 10f was released before installing and had no issues.
Posted in the wrong forum earlier.
1. Rooted phone 2 months ago
2. Factory reset because it kept restarting.
3. After factory reset the phone wouldn't go past the lgsetup.
4. Used the wrong img file and bricked phone.
5. Fixed with the right img file. (Always check md5!)
6. After I got everything working I updated to MM.
7. Since MM update I get the following error "Unfortunately, Google Play Store has stopped." and Mobile ID is stuck on download.
Pretty sure I broke it by updating. Any help is greatly appreciated!

That mobileID thing is tiny carrier specific unnecessary app, you just have to disable. The google play store has stopped is either going to have to be factory reset whereas you'll be better off resetting from recovery, OR send it to LG , they'll fix it for free and send you a free postage label, takes like 10 days.

Never factory reset from settings on a rooted phone.
I don't have the Boost version of the Stylo but there is no custom recovery (TWRP) for that model, is there?
Yeah. No custom yet. I was able to fix the lgsetup issue. Now it's just an issue with Google Play store not working now.
I was thinking about trying to do another reset but am worried I'll break it again. And this time there is no good way to unbrick MM.
