Hey guys, do you know anything about the marshmallow update for Virgin mobile Moto G's?
(xt1548)
Nothing so far for me yet, wearing out the system update button
Me too?
Apparently, the Virgin Mobile Varient of the Moto G 2015 ota is now being rolled out in Canada. This means soon for us US peeps! Source: http://mobilesyrup.com/2016/01/16/moto-g-3rd-gen-update-to-marshmallow-now-available-in-canada/

Unfortunately, no it doesn't. Virgin Canada is not associated with Virgin Mobile USA in any way. Virgin Canada is a completely different company and actually uses gsm phones, not the cdma phones used on VM USA. For what it's worth, VM USA is not known for rolling out updates, timely or otherwise.
It seems the only way to update the software to Marshmallow is to buy an unlocked version of the device (as I have seen 6.0 on the unlocked device at a Best Buy demo) , or unlock the Virgin Mobile one you already have. Otherwise, I think Virgin is never going to release an OTA for the update.

I thought the Virgin Mobile version was not eligible for bootloader unlocking on Moto's site? There is no other known way to bootloader unlock the device. And an unlocked version (ie. full retail version) would not be CDMA since Moto did not sell those directly or through a 3rd party like Amazon, only carriers, so it wouldn't work on VM anyway. Not to call you a liar but I don't think you were looking at a Virgin Mobile device...

No you're right - What I meant to say is that the version of the phone I saw with 6.0 was an unlocked one - not one from VM. I do not think (as hopeful as I am, still) that VM is ever going to release an update to 6.0 - They usually just release phones with the OS it comes with and that's all you get.
So is there anyway to get Marshmallow or not?9
Soak test underway begun end of April so hopefully in next few weeks

I'm on virgin mobile, with my moto g3.
I got my boot loader unlocked and TWRP along with xposed. All that works great. But everytime I go and try a custom rom I have to revert to the TWRP backup. And that works fantastic. Just takes it time.
I'd really like a mm rom for this guy. This stock rom sucks the big one.

I have the CM13 nightly flashed to mine. What do you mean you have to revert to the TWRP back up? What isn't working? The only major issue I had was the APN settings which is easily fixed.
Wipe
Flash ROM
Flash Gapps
Reboot
Flash LTE fix.
Marshmallow is out for the Virgin Mobile, Moto G3 today. Have fun, everyone!

I have a TWRP backup should I make a nandorid? And I'm using the virgin mobile 5.1.1 xt1548 Motorola Moto G 3rd generation. Stock rom custom kernel.
It is here and it is NOT working for me. After re-flashing original recovery and riding of TWRP it loads maybe 15% and hits me with an error. No error code just the animation for a split second and it reboots.
I'm not sure if anyone has any info. The virgin mobile moto g was just it's updated to marshmallow. I'm
wondering if there's any root yet?

Standard systemless root with current SuperSU works fine, just like it does with all stock Moto Marshmallow devices.

It looks like you have the Global American GSM version of the phone. From what I can tell, they haven't been updated as of today. USA AWS and USA Global GSM Moto G are still running 4.4.3. Only the CDMA versions are running 4.4.4 in the US. Maybe if you flash the European ROM you'll get the 4.4.4 update.
- Bad news American Moto G owners. Motorola is pulling back from the US market and focusing on India, at this point don't be surprised if you never see Android L on your device. I'm still running 4.4.3. I've heard from other Moto G users running 4.4.4 did not fix any of issues previously reported.
What are the issues specifically? XT1034 Retail Canada has had 4.4.4 - I expect US to follow.
I had to shut off my OTA because I really am not ready for 4.4.4. I have the XT1045 and US version, and it is rooted. So I am not sure why some of you who are rooted are not getting the updates. That is very interesting indeed. Does Motorola have a bigger market in India vs anywhere else for them to concentrate on the India upgrades to 4.4.4?

nah I'll stay as I am, maybe its getting to everywhere first before the American gsm, I'm just going to wait, maybe they will stop 4.4.4 update and when android L comes out we can update straight to it first who knows, we shall wait and see
Today i get the 4.4.4 update.
XT1032 Telcel MX
So, I'm guessing that is the Global GSM US, so you'll be able to install the update soon. :highfive:

- Motorola said recently that they are releasing Android L for Moto G (Gen2) devices in India, nothing about first Gen Moto G or Android L outside of India.
Umm weird. I got a notification saying system update so I go to settings>about phone > system updates and it closes straight away. What's going on ?
Current Device : Moto G XT1032
Opps never mind its working now. I can now update to 4.4.4
Current Device : Moto G XT1032
Finally!!!
Finally, we get 4.4.4 after being stuck on 4.4.3 since June, July. I guess they forget about the Global version for a while or they are preparing us for lollipop.
If you look at the software update news page of Motorola, and scroll down to where you purchased the device, the dual-sim Indian version of Moto G isn't listed.
We're probably not going to get an early update for our XT1033 devices.

don't worry. when you have a look at the other providers like t-mobile or verizon etc, the xt1032 (single sim) doesn't appear either. it is probably the case, that motorola just haven't added the devices in the provider list, but i am sure that everybody can still enjoy android lollipop when it gets released
its confirmed already dude you must go to country option in site and select india you can find the info . check out this link https://motorola-mobility-en-in.custhelp.com/app/software-upgrade-news/g_id/2014#gs=eyJndWlkZUlEIjoyMDE0LCJxdWVzdGlvbklEIjoxLCJyZXNwb25zZUlEIjoxOSwiZ3VpZGVTZXNzaW9uIjoiSHprV3R0NW0iLCJzZXNzaW9uSUQiOiJIemtXdHQ1bSJ9

sorry if this is a stupid question, but if i've already unlocked the bootloader, and installed root and recovery but i didnt change/modify the original ROM 4.4.4 from my moto G, to get the lolipop update, i just need to install the original "stock" recovery or i will need to flash everything (firmware/radio/originalrom, etc) again? thanks

Hi, I have a serious question. I recently bought my LG G3 D850 AT&T version and I'm loving it. I rooted it and removed AT&T bloatware. I was wondering will I still get OTA update of lollipop? One more thing I don't live in the States, would I get the OTA through Google or AT&T or do I have to manually install it ? . Thanks

Yes you will still get lollipop, if you use ota you will lose root and the bloat will come back, also the ota will come through att on your phone, if you want lollipop now i recommend installing CM12, i did and i love it

Thanks so it really doesn't matter if I live in states or in Asia ? Still will get the OTA update through AT&T? I dont have AT&T contract I think this phone was unlocked when I bought it. CM 12 is stable ? can you pls give me the direct link for it ? Or should I wait for the OTA from AT&T (which is still hard to believe that will get the update from them since I live in Asia not the USA). Thanks

Its got some bugs, id wait until theyre sorted out, and since you live in Asia id recommend flashing Cloudy G3 as its based off the international rom, and soon he should update it to lollipop, also i wouldnt flash the ota from ATT as you could lose root and most important Bump,
Is there anyway i can get lollipop on this phone? a Cricket worker told me it will get lollipop very soon but it still hasn't since 2014..... Is their a way i can unlock the bootloader on kitkat 4.4.4 and install cm12? or do i need to just get another phone for lollipop? my variant is the xt1045.
I have this variant too. You can't unlock the bootloader on this variant

For now the only way we can is to wait for them to release the update, which judging by how long Motorola is taking, will take like 10 years :/
You think hard resetting the phone, wiping the cached data, and updating the Motorola update service from Google play will do the trick for our variants. I know one guy who did it on G+ but his is an unlocked variant that he bought from Motorola and he has at&t

its is a kdz & its real.... i successfully upgraded my ATT h900 from the same kdz..
everything went smooth & error free although my phone was rooted on 5.1. i used LG UP & used the "Upgrade" option..
nothing was deleted or overwrite either.. everything remained intact.. i say go for it..
sadly.. no change in interface at all..ditto same as 5.1.1... all behind the scene upgrades apart from Wifi calling

Can you confirm that your root is still intact going from 5.1.x to 6.0?
Update: Nevermind. It seems that your reply above was in reply to someone else's similar question for which you acknowledged losing root due to the upgrade.
yup.. root lost as expected as its an official LG upgrade.
One positive is better response of fingerprint reader & slightly better Boot timings

Thanks. I look forward to one day have a rooted Android 6.0. Otherwise, I'm still on Android 5.1.x because I want root for tethering (grandfathered unlimited data). Fingerprint reader is a hit or miss. Apple iPhone 6 and 6S variants work much better detecting my fingerprints while my LG V10 feels like a cheap ass version.
Agree with u on most part..as far as tethering is concerned it is working..i used a lil trick from my 5.1 days..u can google or if u want i can post..and since i upgraded..its still working..
And i was able to disable almost all of Att crap without root in 6.0
Also agree on finger print reader..i havent seen any andriod no matter how highend come anywhere close to apple
Anyway..just shared my experience for everyone concerned..upgrading or not..thats a personal choice

If your tethering is still working with AT&T with your LG V10 on Android 6.0, that's good news to me. What is the little trick that you did with the Android 5.1 days that you can still have unlimited tethering on Android 6.0?
I got the unlimited tethering by utilizing this hack here, which requires root, using built in native hot spot: http://forum.xda-developers.com/att-lg-v10/general/enable-hotspot-att-unlimited-cutomers-t3338290/
As for disabling AT&T apps, I learned it from owning a LG G4 Verizon variant utilizing Debloater: http://forum.xda-developers.com/att-lg-v10/general/att-debloat-t3241166
The only reason I have root is for unlimited tethering. I do nothing else with root really.

That's what I have done to my V10. I even posted in that thread. So basically enable tethering when having root on Android 5.1.1 prior to updating to Android 6.0, and once upgraded to Android 6.0, the unlimited tethering would still be enabled but the hack itself is not inaccessible due to losing root for updating to Android 6.0. Am I understanding it correctly?
Edit: So I decided to go through with updating my V10 to Android 6.0 using the KDZ mentioned in this thread. Initial thoughts is that yes, finger print sensor works much faster. I also notice that the volume is a bit louder than usual. Perhaps improved responsiveness with the OS going through menus. So far, I like it. Also, the tethering works without complaining that such tethering needs to be registered. Therefore, it looks like updating to Android 6.0 doesn't modify the settings that enabled tethering undetected in Android 5.1.1. I don't mind losing root so long as I continue to have unlimited tethering.
Thanks for letting me know as I wouldn't have updated to Android 6.0 for fear of losing unlimited tethering on AT&T.

i want to update my Unlocked AT&T LG V10 to the latest update H90021W. i tried using lg bridge but it prompts me to update from the update center from the phone itself. when i try to update from the phone, it shows "Device is up to date".
my question is that if i update via flashing the firmware file, will my device be relocked by AT&T? i live outside USA and Etisalat as my carrier. i have already downloaded the .kdz file for v21w software. i worried whether the device will get relocked by AT&T. help me out guys.
also i am getting a pretty poor battery out of my V10. wondering whether the new update would give me a better battery life.
