Hello. I'm running the old software on my s5, the one the phone shipped with in April. I read online that the latest update introduced Wi-Fi calling to the s5. I don't want to lose root, and don't want to trigger Knox either so the towelroot is my only option at the moment. Does it work with the latest software? Thanks.
Yes, it works perfect with the NE5 update.

I had this problem also because I was on another provider. I updated apn network to include "fota" under apn type. I checked for update and it showed immediately. I don't know if this will work for you because my provider is a prepaid and still uses AT&T's nework, but it's worth a shot.

Did you manage to update to lollipop by entering the right AT&T apn settings
Sent from my LG-D850 using XDA Free mobile app
My APN setting didn't have "fota" under APN type. After I did this, update showed immediately. Also other people who had this issue installed it the manual way. They downloaded the ota file and updated in Stock recovery.
Hey guys, I recently purchased an LG G3 AT&T Factory unlocked so other network carriers can be used. But when I click software update it already says I'm updated (CURRENTLY RUNNING LOLLIPOP 5.0.1) so I assume you need to have an AT&T sim card to update your software.
Is there like any way to bypass that so I can update my phone to android 6.0? If so how? and would I need to have it factory unlocked again?
I'm new to this, so detailed explanation would be deeply appreciated!
Cheers!

The AT&T model does not come factory unlocked. It's a carrier model and has to be manually unlocked. So if you bought it new it cannot be new as the seller would of had to open it to unlock it.
But no there is no other way to do OTA updates on it without an AT&T sim, go phone sim , or H2O prepaid sim.

Could I possibly download the official release rom and install it manually using a PC?

Yes but the latest is KitKat so you would be downgrading. Since its the AT&T model it's tot method only. And the latest tot file is kitkat.

Can the H2O sim work outside the US

OTA updates won't work with other AT&T MVNOs besides H20?

No it wouldn't work with that.
H2O sims can be gotten for under $1 on Amazon or eBay. And you don't have to add money to activate them.

So if I got a used AT&T G3, I could buy an H2O sim, activate it, get the OTA Marshmallow update, the remove that sim and put in my CC sim? Even if I had to buy the $10 Paygo plan, it would be worth it

Yes you can. As long as the used G3 was not rooted you can OTA update.

Will an unlocked D850 receive the update or does it still have to be locked to AT&T? A lot of D850s on eBay are unlocked.

The unlocked ones will get the updates just fine. But you still will need an active AT&T sim or H2O sim to get the update.

Hey were you able to install marshmallow on at&t D850 by ordering H2O sim?
Please do mention when you inserted that sim then you were in H2O network range or overseas? (as I am in New Zealand)
and how did you manage to install after inserting sim?
Thanks for helping pal.

Actually, you should get OTA updates on Consumer Cellular. They are my carrier and I have received several updates on my AT&T G3, including one just today. New software version is now D85030p.

Word of caution. Be familiar with how to revert to KK using the tot method. I say this because if the phone has been rooted, and all that was done was uninstall the root app and factory reset, the phone may not take an OTA update as it will read the system as modified. Plenty of discussion on this here in the forums. Also keep in mind that there is no permanent root method for MM as of yet.

I bought a 2015 Moto G instead of the LG G3. Decided to go with something not quite so large and with manufacturer (as opposed to carrier) support for MM. After looking at them "in the flesh" I decided the G3 was a larger phone than I wanted. Thanks for your help.

Not sure why your posting in this thread, CM 13 is not stock or official firmware. You first need to ROOT your device.

I got a g5 Canadian model coming in mail, I see there's no root yet unfortunately, so I was wondering if I could flash a different stock non carrier version at least because I hate bloat? I use to use lg's own flash software with my G3. Is there something that I could do this with safely?

I have been having hard time finding stock firmware for metro s7 930t1
(THE LATEST )
The Few the links/posts on here I found from Dropbox or Android file host fail to flash back to metro . Since I flashed to tmobile firmware on day 1.
They were captured by smart switch and claimed to be good Tar files! For metro s7.
I don't know if my baseband on current tmobile firmware is to far ahead to flash back to any of the metro Odin tar files ?
Anyone have links or idea on where I can find it ?
For starters I'm on vzw 7.0 firmware on my 930t Flat ,feel kinda certain I'll have to flash tmobile first in order to flash metros?

i snagged with smart switch G930T1UVS3APD2 and G930T1UVU4APIA, but never bothered with the latest that has the november security patch G930T1UVU4APK1. Does the latest t-mobile firmware work for you?
Yeah I use the latest tmobile...
I think to downgrade you need the earliest compatible bootloader baseband I'm afraid if metros latest isn't available then I can't go back to a certain tmobile firmware in order to downgrade back to metro uvu4apia

It's like metro never released there version of tmobiles latest equal update so by having tmobile latest I can't go back to metros version

Here is the latest Metro, I can snag it with smart switch if you want. I belive it is just as current as the tmobile one.i have the G930T1UVU4APIA one as well
