So I read that the update enabling ICS on the Optimus 7 is out in europe - but so far I'm not receiving any updates.
I have an open market phone, shouldn't I have gotten this update as soon as LG put it out there? :/
Sorry if this has been asked before, search didn't turn up anything
Edit: After flashing to NL OPN FW, Internet Connection Sharing works nicely

You can't get ICS on your Optimus 7, because your phone runs Windows Phone, not Android.

I'm not sure what you are thinking, there is no Optimus 7 that runs android...
Quite a few carriers have deployed ICS for the Optimus 7 (E900) and other devices already. Vodafone E900s for example.
My question is, why aren't open market E900s receiving this update?

I tried that app, it didn't work.
At most I would have expected it to enable the ICS settings menu, but it did not even do that.
AFAIK the LG devices are still lacking the wifi drivers that allow ICS, which are supposed to be deliverd by this official update. So I'm just a little confused that Vodafone customers already got the update, but the open market phones didn't...

For some reason I am still on 1.0.4.10. OPEN from Germany, Registry says "ATLANTIC_OPN_PT"

Edit: Does anyone suppose changing my carrier in the registry to say, Vodafone, could allow me to grab the update?
Could anyone tell me what the carrier code for Vodafone (germany, preferrably) is?

I tried setting it to OPEN from the Netherlands. Does not work. Zune creates a backup and fails in the last step.
Use the NL OPEN one. No branding and the firmware update for tethering and hidden wifi is available.

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,
Alright So I just got the G Flex 2 here in India, it's a AT&T device which is unlocked to work on all networks. the phone is currently running 5.0.1 which is Slow and laggy and heats up bad and I desperately need to update it to 5.1.1 even if it's not the latest one. I'm not too technical and can't flash anything so maybe a simple install package or something is available which would be helpful.
also, since I tried to check the update after manually taking the date forward and took it like 2-3 months ahead I can't check for updates till 2351 hours so maybe a work around with that too, please. I have a stable WIFI connection at my disposal.:good:
you can upgrade with H950PR A 5.1.1 , HAS A POST OF HOW TO MAKE THE PROCESS , I FEEL MY BAD ENGLISH

Btw, search for another Mega Lock dll file, the one mentioned in that topic didnt worked for me.

That update was released a month ago. October 11.
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.

oh m in that group already. I already asked there twice. the first time no respond and the second time someone suggest me to use VPN whether i can find update or not but it didn't work. I think because the last owner of my device didn't activate with Sprint at first that's why it didn't register my device on Sprint's firmware server. The only option left is that i can't update to beta firmware of android 10 but i can't find it anywhere.

Factory reset the phone. Of course backup first. But power off your phone and hold Volume up + Power until it gives you the prompt to reset. It should help. Mine is on Android 10, but only on January security patch
