[Q] Unrooted to official T-Mobile 1.5 but no OTA.. - Hero, G2 Touch Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi there,
I'm planning on selling my Dutch G2, so i unrooted, installed the official T-Mobile UK 1.5 from the HTC site. And now i got build number: 2.73.110.26 CL#69351
But no OTA is appearing, not even after these tricks:
- set the date 1 month and/or year ahead;
- switching from 3G to WiFi and back;
- rebooting and try any of these steps again;
Does anyone have any other tips?
It's really frustrating that 1.6 and 2.1 are still not downloadable as zip..
Thanks, cheers.

After two days I finally got the updates! i guess forcing an update is simply not possible anymore (with the G2)..

i had the same issue but it worked when i forced FOTA (if it is corect to say that) using the code *#*#682#*#*

Error 155 during firmware update T-mobile G2

I have tried several times to do a firmware update for the T-mobile G2 (Dutch version). I don't think there is any difference between the dutch or the english version.
Everything goes until the firmware updates really starts. I get a message bootloader starts over again! and then that the firmware update fails.
My G2 has been rooted, but i turned all back to the original backup. (I Think)
Modelnr: T-Mobile G2 Touch
Firmwareversion: 1.5
Smallbandversion: 63.18.55.06EU_6.35.06.18
Buildnr: 1.76.110.6 146733 CL#47214
Softwareversion: 1.0.0.A6288
Is there anyone who can help me so that i can use the firmware update. I hear a lot of complaint over this update, but I need to be able to acces a WiFi network.
Are you using the RUU process? If so, it's probable that it is failing the CID check as you are T-Mobile NL rather than T-Mobile UK (though I'd expect to see a message to that effect!).
What is wrong with your WiFi?
Regards,
Dave
My problem with the wifi is that i can't setup security certificates. I read that it become possible from the new firmware.
Someone told me it was possible to install the T-mobile UK version. But then i have to wait until the dutch supported version. Thank you for your response.

I believe that is part of Donut, and not in the current update ROMs. However, if you install a rooted ROM, it is possible that this app may help:

To reiterate - you *MUST* have a rooted ROM in order to use this application.

Help upgrading to G2 to 2.1

Hello all,
Apologies is this has come up in the forums before but I hve looked through and couldn't find an answer.
Basically I bought a used G2 from ebay that was locked (& branded) to T-Mobile. I had it rooted/unlocked and now am on a Vodafone 30 day contract. It is currently running android 1.5.
I have not been prompted by the OTA update. I am unsure whether I use Vodafone or T-Mobile software for the update, or whether there is maybe a generic HTC version available? I want to make sure that the phone is left open to work on Vodafone after the updgrade also.
If anyone has any advice it would be much appreciated,
Thank you very much in advance!!
Keith
If you're going to stick with the official releases just flash the WWE version (which you should be able to find a link on here somewhere). Bear in mind that this will permanently lock you into v2.1 official releases as there is no known method to gain root on 2.1 as of yet and custom rom's will be out of the question.
The Vodafone and T-Mobile versions of the software mainly contain advertisement rather than actual changes.
duno if it helps but i was gettin pissed waiting for the t-mobile ota update, so i created a gold card using the method in another section, downgraded to the generic rom then run both ota updates when my phone promted me (setting my date 1 year ahead) i did not like the 2.1 as it was running peep and teh rest that i never use, i just reflashed it with the generic 1.5 rom i used originaly, installed flashrec and a recovery image, and is now running, happly, vallian 12. i was originaly on the latest t-mobile firmware.
duno if that helps? or was it a cooked version of 2.1 it downloaded via the ota system?
i is still happly rooted.

[Q] T-Mobile UK Stock upgrade path

Hi All,
Been a while since I've posted on XDA, but then my Desire is running perfectly!
A friend of mine has a T-Mobile G2 that has never been updated and now she'd like some 2.1 goodness!
I've tried setting the date forward, *#*#checkin#*#* and *#*#682#*#* without success so I'd like to try it manually.
The phone is running 1.76.110.6 with radio 63.18.55.06U_6.35.04.25 and HBOOT-1.76.0004
Is there anything I need to do first or can I just flash straight to:
RUU_Hero_T-Mobile_UK_2.73.110.26_release_signed_NoDriver
and
update-hero-radio-63.18.55.06JU_6.35.09.26-signed
??

Unable to update

Hi, last December I bought an international One X+ at Vodafone Czech Republic (unbranded) and started playing with it immediately. After trying out several ROMs I decided that I was most satisfied with the stock version, only with root. Unfortunately I lost my original backup of the stock ROM so I used the link towards the stock RUUs in hasoon's toolkit. Then I was stupid enough to flash the newest European RUU I found without knowing which one I had originally: 1.17.401.1. I also flashed back the stock recovery since I believed that it will enable OTA updates in the future. Everything was fine until today when I wanted to update to 4.2.2 and encountered a problem - the update downloads successfully and the installation starts only to be interrupted approximately one third along the way and the phone reboots. Any ideas how to solve this?
Thanks a lot guys!

You might try it a few times. If you are unable to download the OTA - it means you are good to go for OTA...

no security updates since march 1, 2020?

Hi all,
so I bought a V60 with DS yesterday, it was an open box but all the plastic still on device, like brand new and was able to test it and reset it to factory default before buying.
everything fine with setting it up but the phone doesn't update the security patch level..it says: you are using the latest software version for current OS.
patch level is from march 1 , 2020.
anybody knows what could be the issue.?? i've haven't found anything on this issue on the internet yet..
info:
model LM-V600EA (i think this is the Global unlocked version.?) my country is the netherlands and have a Vodafone SIM, i am able to make phonecalls and use data 4G+
software version v10f-EEA-XX
android version 10
buildnumber: QKQ1.191222.002
KERNEL 4.19.81
ive tried to use the LG Bridge software but when it want to update the driver it cannot make connection to the server.
when i want to install the driver by myself, it says that the os version (using a mac os catalina 10.15.6) is not supported...sigh..
looks like the unlocked version doesn't update.? the US verizon version have had several updates, even the latest august sec. patch level.
if someone could shed a light on this, or knows what is the issue...already very thankful.

--UPDATE--
hi all,
i succeeded with updating the phone.
I used a windows 10 laptop, installed LG drivers and LG Bridge software.
it found an update, downloaded it and installed it. whole process took about an hour. download was very slow.
now i have the July 1 security Patch update. (not the latest which is august, but ok, it's LG)
software version is now v10m-EEA-XX.
camera software also updated.
still wonder why the phone is not updating OTA.
BR
Mike
I have the American AT&T model and received the August 2020 patch as an OTA a few weeks ago.
Since receiving the phone around April 1st, I feel like we've gotten every other security update.
IIRC, something like March (came with it), April, June, and August. But my recollection is a bit hazy.
On t-mobile tje July security patch is the most recent release. We've also been getting every other month or so, so I am expecting an update sometime in September hopefully
still don't know why the OTA update was not working. maybe because I have an unlocked version of the V60.??
as (security) Updates are being pushed out by carriers, i had to update it via LG Bridge.
bi-monthly update check via PC it is then.
thanks ya'll!
I also have unlocked eu version same as yours and all updates on mine was done OTA, I'm on July at the moment.

do you also have the -XX in your software version.? I've read somewhere that XX on software LG phones indicates it's a test/demo model..maybe that explains why it was a open box when I bought it..
anyway..I was able to flash it with firmware V600EA10M_00, (NLD Region) ive used LGUP, hoped that the XX in the software version was removed but it isn't.
Also found a V600EA10K_00 version..Think Im gonna isntall this one and see if there's any difference, want to know what the K and M means in the firmware.
if anybody know what it means, let me know!
Thanks all!
Mine is LM-V600EA, V10m-EEA-XX.
I bought mine from Belsimple from Netherlands and actually use phone in United Kingdom on EE network. Definitely not test version. Letters in software version indicate release as lower letter then never software, same with other LG mobiles ( I had G3, G5, V30).

thanks for the info. so if i flash it with the K version, it would be an earlier version of the software and security patch level. then I leave it with this M version.
do you have an idea on why the OTA was not working for me then.?
as we both have an unlocked version and mine wouldn't update OTA. phone was on security patch level of 1 March "out of (open) the box" and on software version v10f-EEA-XX but OTA said I was on the latest version of OS.
When I opened nine from box first what I done I checked for updates and it's downloaded straightaway. Did you connected through WiFi or mobile network. Maybe updates are set to not download through mobile network etc. Also the way how software number show up it's mean that is unbranded fw, if you will have branding fw it will show something like v10f-234-30 (for UK EE network), mine unbranded eu open V30 also show similar to V60 where on v30 is v31a-EUR-XX (latest stock Pie)

First thing I do with new mobile, updates: also connected it with Wifi and Mobile network, went back couple times to factory settings, no result for OTA.
I was able to update it via LG Bridge ..really strange that mine was/is not updating OTA.
when new patch is available for v60 I will check if it's doing OTA
thanks fo input!

--UPDATE--
recieved an OTA update, security patch september 1st.
installed it and now om on Software version V10n-EEA-XX.
thanks again!
Thanks for update, on mine still say v10m is latest. Didn't plugged to pc just checked on mobile.
Hello, my LG V60 LM-V600EA still has not received the security patch from September 1. I am in France where it isn't sold, I bought it on eBay (open box, new phone according to the German seller, the second screen was sealed), and English UK language, at startup (nothing abnormal).
Nothing by OTA, LG Mobile Support Tool and LG Bridge does not recognize my firmware: V10m-EUR-XX. No problem whith IMEI and serial number. I received it 10/02 but the downloaded update was July 1st.
I found this strange link on the internet: lg-roms.com(???) (I don't even know if I can trust)
The latest versions are Polish (POC) and Italian (VID) . In m we find the NLD version.
Question: if one of these rom works is it reasonable to flash by LGUP or I wait for LG to update the EUR version?
Thanks
hi, I sold mine so I cannot test or tell you on which security patch LG has pushed now to the v60. the Rom site you can trust, i've downloaded and installed the V600EA10M_00 ROM and installed it via LGUP tool. but it didn't made any difference. the software version, security patch date and build number stayed the same. Also didn't got any OTA updates..regarding the official firmware..the OTA suddenly was there when I had it in September. The LG bridge tool helped me to update it to the July sec. patch but LG Bridge tool was a bit of a ''''''[email protected]#$% to get it working correct (drivers, latetst version of the software, wasn't able to connect tpo the server error's etc) eventually it worked, but still after this no OTA....I would wait for LG to push the updates..maybe it's a comfort to know that LG is really 'lousy' with updates...couple of month's behind with Security patches is 'normal' You have to play the waiting game...Hope this helped, Best regards

Thanks for your help.
I took the risk of flashing the ROM in version n version VDI (since it works) because selling it now will not bring me much. Unfortunately (but logical) I remain in the EUR-XX version so goodbye to updates.
If the site remains update, I will always have the option of going through LGUP. Anyway VDI, POC, NLD, they are the same versions as the EUR that LG forgot (my LG V0 is however in global version EUR-XX).
Thanks again
If you read my previous post you will know by now that is nothing wrong with EUR-XX version. My current version is v10n-EEA-XX September security updates. All my updates done via OTA, mobile bought in Netherlands and still in use in United Kingdom.

The problem with EUR-XX, no update since 07/01. Nothing by OTA, LG Bridge doesn't recognize my Firmware and LGMobile Support Tool can't find a other update than m version. Nothing wrong ?
Edit: I try to install the m update and ... nothing : no upgrade to n the 11/12.2020.
You can try to remove sim card and try update without sim. I know that while ago orange UK blocked updates on some lg phones, once users insert different operator sim card mobile phone find updates immediately. I never had any issues with my v60 where this mobile is not in UK market, still working fine and update OTA.
If you still have issues try to use vpn for different country and update with lg bridge without sim card.

Unfortunately it's too late, these updates have messed up my LTE frequencies. In short, I am missing frequencies that make 4G + unstable in France. Now between 0 and 20 mb /s, before always 30/40 with EUR-XX firmware, watching YouTube has become hell without wifi,
my LG V60 is just an phone without a real LTE! (VDI, POC & NLD have this problem because I flashed in refurbish, it's my fault).
Otherwise OTA updates work fine but not beyond version m (EUR version). Now it's too late.
NB. 2 whole days trying to find a solution, I lost my time. I thought that the modem part was common between all European countries like for Samsung, with LG: NO!
