Will a rooted 810PR ever get Marshmallow? More discussion than question.
Apparently yes. We will have to wait tho
Does it Include ClaroPR G4s?
We don't know yet. Regular ATT hasn't even gotton the update yet, and no other carriers in the US have it for their G4 as well.

Before I begin, I'd just like to say that I've reviewed numerous threads regarding this topic, both here and on other forums, and I have yet to find a single conclusive solution to my issue, which is why I'm posting.
I recently purchased an AT&T D800 G2 off the internet because I was informed AT&T uses the same frequencies as Canada's Telus. This is true, and the D800 runs on my Telus frequencies with 4G and 3G HSPA, but I found one annoying niggle (besides all the useless AT&T Bloatware that I can't remove), and that's the fact that I can't update my software.
Namely, it's the infamous "Not Registered" issue that the D800 gives me whenever I try to update. I've tried several fixes, but none have really helped me. I'm still running 4.2.2 JellyBean, Software Version D80010o. IIRC, latest JellyBean version is D80010q, so that means I'm not even running the latest JellyBean version.
I've read about one fix that I have not yet tried, and that is to use an Active AT&T Sim to try and allow it to update, since AT&T pushes out their own updates to devices on their network. Since I live in Canada and AT&T doesn't exist up here in the North, I was contemplating getting a GoPhone Sim (Their Prepaid division?) off eBay and using that just to get the Update. Would that work?
And if not, are there any ways of getting KitKat, and, later down the road, Lollipop without going down the Root path?
Thanks in advance, guys.
I don't know how to fix the ota issue, but you could get it on kitkat by searching for the d80020c tot file on xda and flash it with the lg flash tool. Just take the sim out during this process, I've done this and killed my sim.
Huh, okay.
I've definitely seen some threads that recommend flashing a new ROM.
The thing is (newb question)I rather like the LG Optimus UI and I'm not sure if flashing these things would revert me to vanilla android. Would it? I have no experience and since I don't have a warranty I guess I could try root if it would help.
No, it would install the kit Kat firmware provided by AT&T.

Awesome.
I'm just glad there's a way to bypass OTA issued by At&t.
Thanks for all your help!
P.S. Would flashing the ROM void warranty?
There has been no news (and I have contacted Motorola + My Carriers support, generic answers of "it will be here soon we are trying our best) of 5.x on Moto G US Carriers, only retail which really sucks as someone who bought through Carrier to have not gotten it and already a month has past by.
Should I flash or just wait for it.. I'm unsure..
Hey were all still waiting for lollipop.. Some uses have it some don't I'm in UK still waiting for retail download on EE they said they have released it but you still waiting for the carriers to push it... Just a little patient it will be here very soon. On the plus side it only takes a little while to flash between cm12.1 and stock...
Just got this. Anyone else seen it?
Yeah, there's talk about it in the gpe threads. I assume you're on a ported rom. It won't work for you and they're saying that we have to wait for our official release to get it to boot on our cdma devices.
Interesting!!
And that is a Verizon phone?
Yes but we're running ported gpe roms so the server thinks we're using a different phone. The update isn't for us and it's definitely NOT the Verizon marshmallow update. Too soon for that.
Ah! Makes sense...
So i got a Galaxy s7 from rogers here in canada. My model is SM-G930W8. I'm wondering how/what are the effects of flashing ROM on this device? Rogers is super slow with their updates, im still on their April update, and it's in fact the only update they ever put out. So if i flash a stock rom onto this phone, will i get the updates directly from samsung? How does this all work? Also if yall are too lazy to answer can you link me to like a good Q&A thread that would answer my question?

Well, I'm no expert in that area since in my country there aren't any carrier locked s7 devices. But I'm guessing that flashing a different stock rom might not be a good idea because you might lose some features or in the worst case scenario, your phone might not boot up at all. So, if I were you I would root my phone, search for a custom rom that's as close to the stock one and which can be flashed on Canadian models.

If you flash a rom from the dev section you won't get any updates since the phone will be rooted, you'll have to rely on newer roms from the dev section. You'll also lose volte/wifi calling from rogers.
Now if you flash a stock telus rom and have a rogers sim i doubt you'll get updates either but who knows, only rogers is holding up the update, every other carrier already pushed out the july update.
Ok so i have a G955U Verizon unlocked S8+. I want to use it on AT&T but i was told that verizon had disabled a few of the AT&T bands. I dont care about rooting, but if i could root and get all the AT&T bands and no bloat ware that would be above and beyond. I would mostly be happy with just having the capability to use all the bands. So i saw PartCyborgRom had a custom rom that has just recently been updated to work with the v3 BL. Would this rom give me access to all of my AT&T bands? Sorry im a newb haha 15+ year forum creeper, first time poster. Need some help guys this new stuff is over my head! Cheers and thanks!
EDIT: So i have found bboii86's thread on the AT&T S8+ Stock Oreo G955USQU3CRD4 Odin files: https://forum.xda-developers.com/at...g955u-stock-g955usqu3crd4-odin-files-t3789751 and because im already running the same baseband version somehow but with Verizon bloatware im going to try flashing it. I suppose having the AT&T bloatware rather than verizon would just make me feel better lol. So new question with parts of the old still in place: will running PartCyborgRom give me access to all the bands on the AT&T network and will I be able to use it being on the 8.0 (oreo) Android Version? Much appreciated my friends.
