I'm not sure if this is meant to be posted here, but I had the LG G Flex 2 H950 for about a week now and found out about the 5.1.1 update shortly after I bought it. Thing is, I bought it unlocked, so I'm not sure if I'm able to update it as OTA notifications do not show up and I'm not using the AT&T carrier (I'm not even sure if that matters).
Anyways, is there a way to update an unlocked H950? I have a Rogers plan in Canada that I am using currently with the phone.
If you are not using ATT and are not in USA, you will never get the OTA to update to 5.1.1
You must use a TOT or KDZ to upgrade the device to 5.1.1 Lollipop, here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/g-flex2/general/guide-lg-g-flex-2-stock-firmware-to-t3037593
You could use an att gophone sim to try and get the update. Gophones have roaming in Canada and mexico, so it should be possible.

Last time When I went to USA for business trip, I Bought ATT G2 (D800) model.
Now i'm living on South korea.
Currently my ATT G2 have v20c version and I want to upgrade for v20y without rooting.
Because all of korean Banking and credit card app run threaten scan and if rooting related files found on phone, it won't run by security problem.
But, When I tried software update every time, it just loop "Not yet registered" popup occur and I won't 20y update from ATT FOTA server.
And I also doesn't have ATT or ATT Go phone sim. If I get or borrow ATT SIM and connect on Wifi, Can I get a 20y OTA from oeversea?
Exactly, Am i need a ATT SIM or Go Phone SIM for successfully get a OTA file ? also that ATT sim must be activated on ATT account ?
I think some of my colleagues have a deactivated ATT go phone sim. But i'm worry that this deactivated sim also can get a OTA from ATT FOTA server.
I need a brothers opinion or success story who can success got a OTA from oversea and not ATT(like T-mobile or H2o or Straghit talk... ) environment.
I also got the same problem with you. Hope someone will help us

hi!
i've 2 friends with moto Gs 2013 global version (non-GPE) xt1032 bought in the USA from amazon (sold by amazon) that arent getting lollipop OTAs. the phones are in argentina with an argentinean sim card. the Motorola Update Services app is up to date at version 4.0. still, when checking the "about phone/system upgrades" page it says they are up to date.
they are stock and never rooted. the bootloaders are locked due to warranty loss if otherwise. (and one of them was already replaced under warranty for not reading sim cards!)
i would like to upgrade the phones to lollipop WITHOUT rooting, unlocking the bootloaders or resetting the phones.
questions:
1) have these phones received lollipop in the states?
2) why are them not getting the upgrade? argentinean sim card? location reported by phone? geolocation of IP address of the phone?
3) can i flash a signed upgrade without unlocking the BL, without loosing warrantry, and without resetting the phone? maybe through fastboot of maybe by manually downloading an upgrade and rebooting to recovery?
4) anything i could do? load a US sim card? tunnel to the US from the phone? tunnel to the US from the wifi access point?
thank you very much friends!!
EDIT: the phones are on 4.4.4.
So my cousin bought me a note 5 Verizon model from U.S , the thing is I think I get "software update is temporary unavailable"issue. a quick google concluded that I need a Verizon sim to get OTA updates . I was wondering is there any way I could update it without a Verizon sim , since I could no way get a Verizon sim in the U.K
Thanks

Take your current sim out and try Samsung Smartswitch. Download the one for the PC or Mac and give it a try. If that doesn't work manually update with Odin using these files. You might be out of luck for the monthly security patches but it's not a huge deal as far as I'm concerned.

Connect the Note5 to pc
from MyComputer install Verizon Wireless Software Assistance.
After install successful, you can upgrade it from there
Hey guys, I unrooted/restored my 5.0.1 stock with the unroot/restore tool - to get the 5.1.1 OTA for my ATT H950, do I need to use a SIM card or can I just use LG PC Suite without a SIM in the phone? My SIM is currently in another phone, so I am wondering if I need to switch it out to get 5.1.1.
I believe you need the att sim in to do OTA.

Hello, I have bought an LG Velvet ATT unlocked. I cannot update via OTA because I think it needs an ATT account and sim card for it to update via the ATT network but I live in Europe. Can I manually install the OTAs relesed by ATT (although I can't find any ATT ones) or do I have to flash another stock firmware that releses updates without a sim? Would it be possible to flash the Canadian android 11 stock firmware since it has the same model number than ATT LM-G900UM? Obviously the software version numbers are slightly different. I want to keep LGs software because I need it for the pen support.
Thanks in advance
