I Have H950 G Flex2, But i didnt get android 5.1.1 , i love this phone even it get hot somethimes, its good for me.
I want to know if maybe someone can help me to update to 5.1.1 because i dont have ota Update avalible and if is possible, try a stock or international room of 5.1.1 for the H950 Because att have a lot of bloatware.
Thanks all!
Yes
The various threads around here are quite helpful. If you're rooted, you're going to have to go back to stock. The OTA update should then kick in.
There's a thread over in the Android Development Section (It's at the top) that is exactly what you're looking for.
So, yes there are certainly methods by which you can update to 5.1.1!

This is a detailed tutorial on how to return your phone to stock. You'll end up with a data wipe, so make sure to back up anything you want to keep. You'll want to do this first. Nothing should go wrong (no guarantees though, as always), just make sure you pick up the H950 version of the system file (and put this in the root directory of your internal storage, and rename it to "system.img" if isn't already.)

You'll reboot to your bloated stock system, and you should be able to get the OTA update. If you come across the "Please wait 24 hours and try again" message, just go manually set your date and time ahead, that should get it working.
Then you'll want to use this link to update to flash a 5.1.1 (rooted) system file (similar to the way you did it before).

After a great deal of tediousness, you can install Titanium Backup and remove all of the bloatware. Obviously, be cautious, you might break things (and then you'll need to factory reset, yet again). In the near future I'll post a thread of all the bloatware I removed without any issue.
EDIT: I've created a freezable bloatware list for those of you unsure what's safe and what's not. The thread is here:
Ti Backup Bloatware Freeze List
Once you're done with that, if you're brave enough, you can install the XPosed framework (even though the bootloader is locked) using this link:
XPosed G Flex 2
The process is a bit sketchy, the extended periods of black screen are a bit foreboding, but it worked like a charm.
I am also in the same boat. Not receiving OTA, tried factory reset and date+1 doesn't work
Has anyone outside the US or AT&T network been able to update? Perhaps it works with a VPN? I haven't been able to update my brand new phone with zero modifications.
Im outside US, and i haven't got the OTA, i been trying changing the date and factory reset every now and then...
I will try a VPN and see how it goes.
Yes
When I returned to stock 5.0.1 I got the ATT OTA update. I'm in the US.
I don't claim to know the intricacies of flashing, but there are H950 5.1.1 system images floating around these boards. Could you flash one of those while on stock 5.0.1? I'm not sure. We do have an unbrick tool though so you'd probably be able to recover.
Let me know if anyone skips the part where they let the phone update itself, and go straight to flashing 5.1.1.
I just bought this phone brand new in the box because I heard the update was out on ATT, not for me I guess.
If you're already on 5.1.1 and you try to recover with the 5.0.1 image you will brick your phone.
As far as receiving the update notification on the AT&T version, I had to change the date forward a few days. I would check for updates after each date change and eventually got the notification. If that doesn't work, do a factory reset and try again.

Sounds like a direct flash upgrade is a no go then. I also set my device forward a few days (like a week) to get the update.
I Just ordered this phone and will be using it on cricket wireless, does anyone know if I'll need an active at&t sim card to get the 5.1.1 update or will I be able to get the update with my cricket wireless sim card?
Nope
Using a Straight Talk SIM myself and I got the OTA update just fine.

THANK YOU! after 7 painful days this solved my issue! you are awesome I never would have thought to take off auto time and date and jump forward. In one day increments it wouldnt grab the OTA. First time i went to september and boom, I got it. !

Yes, went from 5.0.1 to 5.1.1
I used the method above of changing the date a month forward.. It went from saying up to date to giving me the ota
I hope the update isn't crop because I don't know much of rooting and roming. Hoping to learn stuff here as xda is full of some smart folks.

Hello all,
I just received a new Nexus 5 with Android 4.4.2 (KOT49H) bought online.
The vendor, at my inquiry, replied that it was new and not refurbished or regenerated.
The OTA says "up to date" and won't update to lollipop. (I haven't touched anything yet from first boot)
Can't figure out what's wrong. Anyone has any idea?
PS: I checked with cpuz to see if the hardware is correct and it doesn't seem to be a chinese replica. (lol)
thank in advance.
I just bought a new nexus 5, unlocked it and flashed the 6.0 factory image. Not point in waiting for OTAs.
Now, you could download each OTA from the OTA thread in General and sideload them all in turn but that's just long...

The point is that it won't update to 4.4.3 neither... and it seems strange.
Anyone could point to a cause?
Could be the OTAs aren't actively being pushed. As I said, you could maunally download them and sideload them one at a time to get updated OR just flash the 6.0 factory image and be done with it

So I was away from my computer when the January Security update came out so Im on the December update.
I would like to know can I just jump straight to the Feb update when its available or do I need to do Jan first then Feb?
im unlocked, rooted, ex kernel, google store phone. thanks.
You can just jump.
my phone is on the latest 8.1 april ota.
after the update the phone freezes when placing and recieving phone calls
is it possible to "downgrade" to the previous ota the one from march to test the phone app or will it break the phone
i googled the hell out of this but only found people flashing later releases and not previous ones
thanks

I think downgrading via OTA it's quite impossible.
You have to wipe and flash the full factory image.
damn it thats what i was afraid of.
thanks

You should've have to wipe. Just flash the full image but remove the -w from the flash all bat file. That saves data and settings. But backup to be sure.

i got the verizon varient. it seems i cant oem unlock the device.
i searched all day and cant find a technique that works so flashing the stock image is a no go apparently.
life was so much easier with my nexus 6.
damn verizon.

Time to start clearing data on the dialer related apps, or reset the phone. I am hopeful that will help you. If it was soley update related the forum would be blowing up with complaints.
Now did something go wrong with your update... I'll buy that.
i just assumed it was the april security update it started acting up around the same time. i thought maybe a crappy download
i already did a few factory resets. tried third party dialers. everything i could think of.
what really sucks is i am 3 months out of the 1 year google warranty. so i am pretty much screwed.
thanks for your help bro
i will try to sideload the latest ota.. if it is still jacked up then it is probably hardware related
what sucks is i am still paying it off and it is virtually unusable lol.. at least i can text
So I just got a notification for my update. If any developer wants it just let me know and I will send you a link to my Google Drive.
Does it tell you what the update version is. That is very helpful to them. My guess is its J which they have already.

Really? I didn't check or know how. I used the kdz for 10i a couple of weeks ago and I took the 10j update. Rooted from there and have only been flashing 10j roms. That's why i thought it was new. How do i check?
If so I feel retarded, haha. I thought I was helping out.

If you click on the notification it should give you more info on it (Haven't actually clicked on one since JB so don't quote me on that lol) or you can pull the update from /cache and upload it to google drive and send me the link so I can look at it. (Dont put the link in the forums cause people tend to flash first, question later why they leap before they look).

K, I'll send it to you shortly. Man i thought I was special! Hahaha.
But wouldn't it be kind of weird for me to get that update? Since I'm already on 10j?

@Tilde88 or another will have to look at this. I tried numerous ways to extract this (I'm on Windows and am not familiar with messing with python on it, keep getting Command "bsdiff" is not valid, don't have dual boot on Windows 10 for a Ubuntu OS to do android related things yet, haven't had any motivation for anything these days) but I at least see it checks in the updater script if your system is NRD90M before it proceeds.
I just cant see an update so soon after J. We all know how good LG is at updates as well as source.

The zip was downloaded today by OTA. Hopefully not security for preventing root but security for bettering the system.

You are right, but I also remember with 10j, everyone seemed to get it within a day on TMO.
But you may be right if another one is out.
What size is the zip file?
It's strange why I would see an update on my phone. I am on 10j everything (bootloaded and all) and still got that update.
whats the model after the update
This was the update i took. Also, you can still root just fine.
I need some help. I'm not sure where to go from here. Ok so I have a Canadian S8+ (SM-G955W). A couple weeks ago I flashed what all the articles said was a final release of Oreo just not released yet, meant for SM-G955U, with build number R16NW.G955USQU2CRA1. I've got a couple questions:
1. Is there any new update I should/can flash and where would I get it from?
2. Will I get OTA updates at all if I'm on the software for the unlocked version?
3. I've not had any major issues but my signal has been weaker then before, any way to fix this?
I'm not an expert at this so simple instructions are best. Thanks. ?
If you want to update to the most recent Oreo release, not official yet, it's CRAF. You have to ODIN back to BQL1 then flash the update to CRAF.

Will I get OTA updates after that?
Negative. BUT, I'm on CRA9, which was released before CRAF and it runs GREAT, for me. I'll stay on this till official rolls out. Then I could (and yourself) flash back to BQL1 and take the OTA or wait for the ODIN files to be released and flash that way.

Auto Reboot, F Reset Time
Was that what you meant? The options in ODIN?

I assume your friend flash the firmware. Check at sammobile.com for the firmware that matches your device, provider, and country.
If you could recall your previous firmware version prior to the one you are using now, then search for it, flash it, and try updating OTA or you could just download the latest version and use that.
