Software Update

According to LG software update should be available. When I go to Mobile support page and select T-Mobile G2x and click on phone software update it has LGP999DW software upgrade available. I've tried t connect the phone with the phone app and check for update and it says no update available?!? Anyone tried that?

The phone model wasn't even listed among the available for upgrade and I just checked the other day....

is this not the lgp999dw?

it is, just downloaded it and it says i already have the lastest software

wait a sec, another windows just opened. my driver is being configurated for my new software.......this better not be just updating my lg driver

after all that it just said my software doesnt need to be updated......

thats laaame

The link to the LG desktop software has been posted at least three times. The first thing it does is install the proprietary LG USB drivers which you mistook for an update. The Gingerbread update might be available from the desktop app at some point but the OTA update function was activated on the phone yesterday leading me to believe it'll be pushed OTA. Both the desktop app and OTA update check show V10f (the version we're running) as the most current. I'd guess that before the update begins being pushed officially it'll leak so we'll know in advance it's coming. I highly doubt someone will just stumble upon it on the LG site waiting to be downloaded without any forewarning.

I have one question. If you except the OTA update what happens to your root? Does it mess up anything? I am just rooted with factory rom.

If I'm not mistaken your going to have to unroot in ordered to get ota.

as long as you didnt delete anything off of the phone you will get the ota

Couple of newbie questions. When the update is available I don't need to unroot? Also, do I need to unfreeze the apps I froze to get the update?

Firmware update

I Am curious if they stopped the new firmware update. On Friday I exchanged my 16g for a 32g and when I was setting it up on Saturday it said update available but when I tried to get it it was gone. I had gotten the update on the 16g before switching it so I wanted to check if it was pulled for some reason.
Thx
I currently have UEALGB

I saw in the thread about rooting the 10.1 mention of it being pulled. You can always try to update via Kies (you'll have to download Kies PC if you haven't already), but I imagine if it was pulled that won't work either.

i have rooted my flex2 (h955) and the software recognized it and throw out an error

you can try to flash this:
[KDZ][H955] LG G Flex 2 stock .kdz
And then you tell us if it worked or not.

Have you installed the correct one for your country? if it is on the list.

Which one did you get? LG PC Suite 4.3.41? Where from? I can't find it on the LG site for our phones.

count me in the same boat :/
have the sprint version of the phone and woke up this morning to a prompt that there was an android update. with my brain not being awake yet i went ahead and told it to update, not thinking about root preventing the update. So went about my morning routine and came back and the phone was booted back up, but obviously the update didn't apply as i was still on ZV4, not ZV5. when checking for update it says there are no updates available.
can anyone help me/us out and post some steps for how to unroot and reapply the update? i'm good at following directions, just too new to this stuff to be able to figure it out on my own

see provider but no signal

anyone have any tips on forcing the OTA to download again?i've disabled SU, rebooted, and factory reset and it still says i'm up to date when checking for an update. or is there a way to download the OTA and update the phone some other way?
really want to check out this update and see the improvements, just can't get it to go after trying to update this morning while still rooted

I tested all the files and I have no message and signal works perfectly.

woke up this morning to the prompt that there was an update available again, not sure why it does it overnight but won't when i manually check for update..... anyway, i disabled SU, rebooted, then started the update and watched it this time and in the middle of the upgrade it came up with the android guy on his back and it said error. after a bit it restarted again and was back to where i started, no update.
so it looks like i need to unroot. would appreciate any help on how to unroot so i can apply the OTA, thanks!!!!!

Here with a sprint flex 2. First time I tried ota update I was rooted and it failed. A few days later the update notification showed up again, went ahead and unrooted, tried the update and still failed. I'm not sure root has anything to do with update failing now. Could be something else. So far I haven't read about anyone successfully completing update and reporting it.

I was getting the same error message about being rooted even after un rooting the device.
I installed the lg pc suite and upgraded to 10d that way and then re rooted using the method on this forum.
It looks like there may be a flag thats triggered once u root that doesnt get removed even if u unroot it.

ugh! i can't even get my phone to connect to pc suite to try and "fix" it so i can attempt the update

Just got an OTA

Phone just updated to H90120J

Same here
I would say around 3:30am pacific time. Woke up and had it on my phone. 450mb+ file. So definitely not just a security update.

Just Got Mine Updated On LG Bridge.

Just tried OTA from the device and LG bridge, nada.
EDIT: Apparently it's unavailable on LG Bridge for OSX. Fired up Windows 10 in Parallels, connected the device to it, and lo and behold, 20J is available via LG Brridge for Windows.. Switched back to OSX, nope, still "latest". HAH!

Were Any of you guys rooted with recovery before or after?

I am on windows 10. Tried over LG Bridge and OTA directly within the phone. No updates for me. Looking for another method to update....

Lg bridge claims that it cannot check software version. on new windows 10... any Ideas?

100% Stock. Just woke up to it around 3am and glanced over and saw the update icon. It had a paragraphs of info after pressing update but rapidly rebooted before I could read anything. I did see the size. 450mb

Here is the only information LG Bridge gave me on the update
Edit* - Also, LG Bridge is telling me that his update is 1.85 GB, not 450mb. Seems like they may have reworked more than they are letting on.

sounds like they just redownloaded the whole ROM. Mine was only 450mb via OTA

Oreo update not coming?

InoHello everyone.
It has been a long time since my last post....
I bought my HTC U11 128GB/6GB last August and I find it awesome. Since the announcement of the Oreo update being rolled out, I became impatient to try it. I checked and checked for updates... but nothing. Right now it's running Android 7.1.1, SW version 1.27.400.21, with the October 2017 security patch.
How can I find if there are other updates that I didn't receive? How can I find my model number? How can I force the updates?
Info: My phone is already unlocked (it's the first thing that I did after receiving it).
Edit: with Simple CID Getter I found out that my CID is HTC__060. Is it the DUGL/India model? If yes then I guess that the Oreo update didn't arrive yet?
Thank you in advance to anyone that can help me.

I just did a backup. Downloading the first files to upgrade from 1.27.400.21 to 2.31.400.6 now. Do I have to flash all the files? OTA, recovery, boot and firmware? Or only the OTA zip is enough?
Edit:
I tried to install the OTA Zip with TWRP and it gives me an error message. I think I will wait until the official OTA arrives (hoping it doesn't take too long).

The wwe version has only just been updated so you'll probably get the update in a month or so once the carrier is happy with the release. My advice is to wait. Do not root and s-off for it.

You can try to connect through the VPN that allows to select server located in India.
Had exactly same problem as OP.
Solution with VPN worked for me. And phone updated to Software version 2.42.400.3

Downloaded the first time with VPN, tried to install it, but it didn't work (I had TWRP, and after reboot I got the message that the update was corrupted). I flashed the recovery from the Google Spreadsheet: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheet...EYtQ_tRcOSJ0vWcvk8a7TK8Hk/edit#gid=2137120377
using:
Code:
adb reboot download
and then:
Code:
fastboot flash recovery recovery_1.27.400.21.img
I checked for updates and it asked me to download it again, no VPN needed. Downloaded it and tried to install it (much faster). Phone restarted, update started, and after a few seconds I saw a black screen with a red triangle.. it looks the same as when it's in recovery mode.... Had to restart the phone again.
I'm trying again to download it and I'll check better if I can see the error.
Edit: It goes fast from 1% to 24%, then it stops at 24% for about 19 seconds and then black screen with red triangle...
Any idea what the problem could be?

Sorry, don't think I can be of any help here. Have almost no experience with this sort of things.
In my case I did not do any tweaking with the original OS.
First tried to explore any possible option to get it "official" way.
My only guess would be to try to roll back to the original state and to have no trace of tweaking.

Yes, I will try to do a factory reset this weekend. If it's not working, I will try to follow the instructions on the other post to flash a RUU.
Edit: I did a factory reset, tried to update to Oreo, it still stopped at 24%. I flashed the latest RUU I could find on the spreadsheet, and then after 2 updates I'm finally on Oreo!!!
