So when do u guys think we will get marshmallow sense it looks like its out for the 815 I think
So do u guys think us att uses that got stuck on PR firmware will get update
It will come when it comes. Probably December or early next year. It won't be when ATT get its update. I could see it coming before as a test ground in PR. However, we would need the kdz. Also someone likely would have to make a rooted image if possible. So your looking at a while. Don't quote me, but maybe February.

Just one quick thing it worked great on my g1 and now have rc29 but does anyone know if I will get future ota updates. Want to make sure incase new ones will only be ota?
My opinion,
I hope they start placing the updates online. Have the phone sync the update onto the phone at my free will and so on. Pick and choose which ones i want to install?!?!
Yeh would be great but takes tmo forever to get updates like the wing I am surprised they had this one. Is a first they realeased that quick.

Remember Tmo has nothing to do with this phone. All updates come straight from google. Tmo just tells google what software they want on the phone.
forcing upgrade
there is a file released by google that you name update.zip then do the hokiepokie while you turn on the g1 and it gets the OTA update without all the over air stuff...
its laid out here on this site
it only took me a few mins, I was sick of waiting
bhang
Helped a friend root his NS4G on sprint. Are there talks that ICS is coming OTA anytime soon?
If that's the case, I may have to unroot and stock him so he can get it. ughhh
dont know man your quess is as good as ours???
Just be patient and some really good roms will start coming out soon!

personally I never worry about OTAs. They do nothing but cause problems imho. I just wait for one of the smart guys here to port it and then I get it. But this thing is for a friend that lives out of town and I won't be there to help him once he leaves. I don't even know if this phone is going to get the ICS anytime soon when the Galaxy Nexus isn't even out yet (in the US that is). My guess is next summer the way Sprint sooooooowly rolls things out.

In theory the ICS OTA should be completely independent of Sprint or any other carrier but I don't if Sprint has to do any fiddling with it because their network is CDMA and not GSM.
Verizon is supposedly getting the the Galaxy Nexus on the 8th so the OTA will be pushed to the NS some time after that. Taking in to consideration Christmas and New Years I'd say the earliest we can expect to get the OTA is the end of January. But who knows maybe Google will push us some OTA holiday cheer
Pretty much what the title says...
I have a Shield Tablet and I tried the system update, and it won't let me get 6.0... it says I have the latest update which is at 5.1.1 anyone know what can this be and how I can get aorund it?
and lastly, I put in a request for the 6.0.1 with vulkan, but I'm curious why I can't get 6.0... is this a known problem?

Is your device rooted and whatnot? If so sometimes the update feature is affected and you might have to remedy that first. If not, it could be a roll out time line situation serial number order type of thing. I don't own this device yet personally but tomorrow when mine shows up I'll make sure and see if I have an update available(Nj).
no, it's a stock device and I got a while back... Would be nice to push it to the device via adb maybe? and it's a great device. you'll love it. Price is great, build quality is decent and it's very powerful!
I have the LTE model in the US and no update for me either.. I am not sure why this one is taking so long after the WiFi version. Every other update was released at the same time..

Hard to answer without knowing what device you have but I am going to throw a guess and answer to go with it.
My guess, you have the US LTE version.
Answer: The US LTE ROM includes AT&T software and is also released via the AT&T network. NVIDIA had said the US LTE ROM takes several additional weeks from release for the Rest of The World version to become available when 4.0 was originally announced. That clock was most likely reset when the first 4.0 version was pulled and a new version (thus restarting the clock) was released on the 18th.
As promised when it arrived I checked for the update and sure enough it was there. I do hope we can help figure out what your issue is.
Ok, so I happened upon an LG G4 H810 AT&T variant at a pawn shop a few weeks ago, they couldn't get it working because of the boot loop issue (person that pawned it probably did so knowing it was defective and had it working just long enough to demo it to get the cash). I took a look at it, great shape overall, no damage noted, plain old "ceramic" back cover, battery had a date of January 15 2016 on it so it's tough to say if the battery was just newer or the device itself since I couldn't get it to boot. Date code was 508 so obviously one of the well known defective models.
Long story short: got it for a pittance because they couldn't get anyone else to buy it, got it home, registered it at LG's website on my account, waited 2 days then chatted their support up and got them to accept it for RMA, shipped it out last week and it should be back tomorrow. I'm not sure if they repaired it or replaced it - the limited info I have says they "Swap Board (Main/RF)" so I'm guessing the entire motherboard was swapped for (hopefully) a newer one made this year that might not fail but probably will.
So, I had a question or two and I've done quite a bit of research the past few days and never found specific answers so at this point I'm just going to ask them and be done with it:
1) There's apparently no working root at all for the H810 that I've been able to find. I'm going to assume that the unit I'll be getting tomorrow or Tuesday will have been upgraded to Marshmallow unfortunately but that's just how it goes so there's no rolling back as I understand things. If there's a working root I'd be interested in knowing which one that happens to be. Also with no root there's probably no recovery either but I will keep researching to find out more as I'm able.
2) There's apparently no custom ROMs available because of the locked bootloader which will never get unlocked obviously as well. I've read that the PR (Puerto Rico) ROM could be installed on an H810 that was still running Lollipop with the v2 rollback but if this repaired board is Marshmallow that means it's been upgraded to v3 rollback and so that's dead in the water too.
3) I'm also going to assume that if the board has been replaced and hopefully is one made in 2016 (with a 6xx serial number) then it could last a while but there's no guarantee of it. I've seen people say the 6xx versions have not failed but then I find a post or two from someone that claims to know someone with a 6xx model and it failed at least once on them but I can't get any actual verification on it, that's just hearsay to me if there's no direct proof so all I can do is continue hoping it's a 6xx revision board and that it's not going to fail anytime soon.
This will be my second G4, had a Sprint variant last year and never had problems with it, sold it to a gent from Australia when he visited Las Vegas and as far as I know he's still using it, who knows.
If anyone can offer some info related to those questions I'd be grateful so thanks in advance if anyone can.
Have fun, always...
EDIT:
Seems that if I get very lucky and the replacement board comes with H81020n on it - the original Marshmallow build - there's a chance I can roll it back to H81010o using the TOT method from the other thread for it, that would at least get me root potential I suppose. Guess I'll find out tomorrow if the replacement arrives. Can't find any absolutely verified info about later builds, looks like the very latest patch build is H81022b from September and I'm going to assume if that happens to be on the board then all hope is lost, basically. Ugh...

I haven't kept up with root, but I doubt anything MM latest or not you won't be able to root it. Also never flash wrong model firmware like the PR version. In the past that was a last resort firmware (before we got a back to stock for the actual AT&T model. You could get lucky but chances are you'll get a board with the latest or just the last previous firmware especially if it has a newer serial.
Pretty much the AT&T G4 is a device you want if you don't tinker with the device. I honestly love the G4, until certain apps even new apps ran worse on the G4 than they do on my G2.

Just got the H810 back, checking on the board info here in a bit (if I can even detect anything) but it's running H81022b so I'm guessing that means I'm stuck with it as is but that was somewhat expected. I'm not going to even bother attempting a rollback at this point, will just wait for the yellow leather cover to arrive in the next few days then I'll put it up for sale on craigslist I suppose and go from there.
I have to wonder exactly what they did because the board info that I can detect using the LG Info tool from the Play Store still lists the same info for board date/etc (January 2016) so I don't know what the hell they actually did.
Kinda sucks but it's how things go sometimes.
Hey everyone I was just wondering if anyone who has the Nougat Beta, have you gotten the official update yet? and if so when is the soonest we could possibly be getting a zip file? I tried the VZW version and it was smooth for about the first week, then I noticed some random rebooting and battery life issues as to be expected since it was only a first beta version. Not rushing anything but I'm a little impatient as well as some of you are to get your hands on the Nougat goodness. The whole reason for me even flashing the TMO version is because I bought the Metro PCS version and usually their updates roll out a lot later than TMOs updates. Thanks all
