Yup. I see posts from less than an hour ago saying they got in, so I must have missed it by minutes.

I just randomly went into the Galaxy Beta program and hit Accept and now it shows "Deregister" and told me thank you for my registration. I should be in now, is that correct? (US based)
Update: I'm in! Downloading the update as I type. Whoooooot.

Might try to force close the Galaxy Beta app and then re-open it and see what happens.
I literally posted here a minute or two after getting in.

Does this work with the U firmware? I downloaded the Galaxy Beta apk but always get a server error

I dont think it does, I am on U also, have to find the fastest way to get back to stock, dont want to have to download the whole restore file. can we force the back to stock?

Officially: GB is now out for the UK

Hi,
Just to inform those who are waiting to update officially, check now.
For others, here is the kdz if you want:
http://csmg.lgmobile.com:9002/swdata/WEBSW/LGP920/AGBWML/V21a_00/V21A_00.kdz
I wonder if there are any slight changes? There must have been some reason it wasn't released at the same time as the other regions.
Good news, hope this time this UK GB is a lot of improvement than the Germen...
can someone tell us the date of the rom?

I guess it's the same as everybody else, so I don't see the reason for such delay in UK.
So far I have not seen any build number differences in the baseband, kernel, build or date. MD5 identical.
Is this available OTA as i am still being told that my current version is up to date?

Nope, you have to use the LG Support Tool to update it.

Thanks for the info. Do you need to have a constant connection to update or does the update software download everything it needs before it updates? I use my phone as my internet.

my games and apps arent supported wait a while
Damn, keep getting a url not found when trying to download the LG support tool.
btw, can I do this update if I'm locked on T-mobile network? Also, will I loose data? Cheers
I wonder if this is any different to the other one and fixes the battery info problem.
I might have a go this afternoon and see
lol, managed to download the app (was work restrction),
but when installing the LG software it says it's down for maintenance. So they finally release GB and take the tool down that installs it!
It would appear that it is the same release as before the MD5 is an exact replica so no point in updating to this one if you have the other.

Came up saying it needed updating, tried to update, got so far and came up with an error message. I restarted it, then it now says i have latest version, which I dont....any ideas?
Is everybody having problems with the 3D games?
The one pre-installed I have to re-download them in order to play but I'm getting errors when I try to and the others that I have purchased the app says that the game is not a original copy and doesn't even let me open it.
is it just me?

How to STOP phone from updating software

Is there a way to do it? My phone automatically downloaded the software and asked me to install. I cancel of course, but phone ask when can it ask me again. I have to pick a time, cannot cancel or anything. so I pick 5pm tomorrow. Will this install at that time? Please help me stop the software update.

I don't believe so. You need root to rename System services or uninstall them, especially a service to stop polling for OTA. What you need to do is rename "sdm 1.0", which is a System app, to "sdm 1.0.bak" but I'm almost positive this wouldn't last through a reboot for you since you're stock. Try it and see but it should not work.

It'll install automatically if you keep deferring it and miss it once. Each OTA we've received has had that "feature" btw. Rooting and doing what I outlined in my last post is the long term solution.

Just successfully flashed the update. Very minor tweaks, but the phone seems a little faster. They added Beats Audio, which I disabled.

AT&T G2 Not showing 4.4 update?

Just bought this phone and I know that AT&T has rolled out the 4.4 update. According system this is still on 4.2.2. But system update says I am up to date, as does LG pc suite.
How long does the rollout take or am I missing something

are you on the Q firmware? if not you need to call AT&T and have them push that and then you should get the kitkat update
You can always use flash tools to flash the current 4.4.2 build, however you go back to stock
Saves an hour talking to ATT
Yes most likely you are not getting the Q update and 4.4.2 won't update without it. I flashed/OTA several times now and both times I had to call AT&T to have Q pushed. The other updates push out fine from AT&T though.
Yeah, not on "q". Well that's annoying. Talking to ATT is like pulling teeth sometimes.
Thanks for the help all

Seems that you really need to call AT&T to get the Q update so that you would be able to update to KK.

I'm on D80010q now but I still cant update KK, it said my phone not registered at the first time i check for update and the next time, it said my phone up to date, when i went to ATT, they said I should have to wait for like 2 weeks....

I've seen some say if you bump your time up 24-48 hours and check again, you may get the update.

Better off using a custom ROM, unless of course you prefer the dull stock ROM. KitKat is no better in my eyes, little snapier.

Pattern and pin both work ok. Never use password. The only thing I I've found so far is trying to click on Samsung cloud in settings causes it to report that it's closed. It seems to be working though since I logged into shealth. It just force closes from the settings menu.

Sure do. Tried the QE2 and QC7 files in @koop1955 's big post, but both get the same error. I imagine because I'm on S6 Edge, not just S6?
Although, now it looks like he's working on a new rooting method, so maybe I should hang back a bit for now anyway.

Thanks for this, very helpful. I'm in a similar state from the guy above, currently running Renegade OJ7 v1, my kernel is 3.10.61-S6_UniKernel_v9-0000_beta, baseband version G925PVPU3BOJ7 and TWRP 2.8.7.0 with the most recent version of SuperSU.
My question is: should I bother with updating the kernel as well as flashing the TAR you linked to, or is just the TAR good enough? After that, should I mess with TWRP or leave it alone? Once I get that done, if I'm looking for a clean slate, should I just wipe all partitions and flash the ROM? If you can answer any/all of these it would be hugely helpful for a guy who doesn't do that much flashing and can't swing $800 on the new S8 right now.
Thank you!

I still have my edge and am running this. All I can tell you is you have to update to nougat first (flash the tar I think). It's been a long time since I did it. Once my phone was updated to the new firmware I then installed twrp and flashed the rom. That's about all I can remember. In my case it got hung in a boot loop and I had to flash a second time. Sorry I couldn't be of more help.

Any chance you can let me know which kernel you're running? I get a lot of lockscreen crashing on my existing one and wondering if there isn't a better one available.
edit: looked and realized there's a kernel included in the zip, my bad! thanks again!
