Hi All,
Some background info:
I have a P769BK, rooted on P76910e running 4.0.4.
The phone has been rooted and I have previously overclocked it through the Basic L9 Overclocking instruction.
I had also frozen some of the t-mobile bloatware using the running the T-mobile P769 bloatware disable script.
...so when I heard about the P769 jellybean OTA upgrade, I tried to get the OTA upgrade and even tried the forced checkin (dial *#*#CHECKIN#*#*) but I keep getting the same 2 results:
1) phone says it is up to date
2) phone downloads the P76910g update but I get that awesome dead Andriod icon after it reboots to install

I've tried to do the Hard Reset thinking that should revert everything to stock but I get the same results.
Any suggestions?

well i'm posting about why a hard reset would still prevent me from upgrading to P76910g, which according to t-mobile is the correct up-to-date software pending JB's P76920d.
the other threads about flashing roms and such seem to say that a hard reset would fix everything back to square one, which isn't the case for me.

I am in the same boat. Can't update to 10g. Hard reset doesn't help. I only rooted mine no overclocking or custom recovery. I tried unrooting but that didn't help.
I had exact same problem and the only thing that worked for me was flashing the stock 10g update. It was a hassle and I loss root but it will work.
Got the JB update yesterday and loving it so far!

I'm a newb, so sorry, cannot link
To get the update and to install it
to get the update go to settings click on 2G networks only and the go back to apps got to all scroll down to google services framework force stop and then clear data. then go to about phone and search for the update you should recieve it. if you dont try it once or twice. to install the update you have to have all the stock bloatware and the original recovery image. if you dont you wont be able to install it will fail. if you dont have a stock phone you will have to either flash with offline kdz or find each individual file to download from app store here is the link for kdz flashinghttp://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2085344

Thanks but that didn't work, either. I just don't understand this. I guess we all just need to wait it out.
EDIT: Well, I guess I was right. Wait it out. No sooner did I post this then my phone gave me the update notice. Maybe there's something to the 2G thing. Or, just keep trying. Thanks.

Hi guys, to all of you who have updated your phone, what was the process? What did the Phone say? Last night, i kept trying, and I got the message, "Connection failed caused by authentication error."
So i went to my Settings > Applications > All > com.lge.omadmclient > Force Stop > Clear Data
Then, Settings > About Phone > Software Update > Check For Update
I kept repeating those steps, until eventually, it started saying "Communication in progress." I let the phone sit all night last night, hoping when i woke, i'd get a notification of a software update. So, Today, after I didnt get a notification, i went to my settings, and checked for a update, now its giving me "Communication in progress." My Wi-Fi In/Out Data lights are flashing like crazy, (As it did last night) but its been 30 minutes, and still no notification.
What should i do next? Does this mean that my phone is downloading the update? How long should it take? What are some of the signs of the update?
Thanks, I'm anxious to get the update!
EDIT:
I forgot to let yall know my phone's software.

Also, does anyone have a download link for the latest LGNPST? I can try to update the phone to the 11c software using LGNPST, then update to 20j using OTA. Has anyone done this? Did it work?

If you are rooted and have unlocked bootloader you can just flash stock JB ROM posted in this thread. Make sure you flash ROM and new radio posted there.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2067871
If you are completely stock and not rooted, you can call ATT and ask them to push an update. Several people here suggested this worked for them.
I don't know exactly what the "communication in progress" toast message means, but it does not necessarily mean it's downloading the update in the background (it may just be doing a background check). I saw it a couple dozen times while checking for updates that never downloaded. If you're rooted, look in /cache/fota and if you see a file called dlpkgfile and it is growing, then it is downloading the update. If you see one there that is about 18 megs in size and it's from 3/31 or 4/1 or so, it's the 11c download but it didn't actually manage to use it, and I was not able to find a way to actually have it installed, though it should be doable (/sbin/lge_fota seems to be a key there but all it did when I ran it was reboot my phone after a few seconds, so obviously it needed something else).

Actually, I've been searching this forum for the past few days. Most of the questions I asked we're not answered, I seen no answer to how the process works. I seen some post on the LGNPST, but many of the questions we're ignored or they did not go in depth with it, which is what i'm seeking. Some may have been answered, but answered incorrectly. Please don't come on my post hating.

Many of us have done this this past week. I chatted with them twice yesterday and neither time did they give me any hassle about pushing the 11c update. In fact the second guy spent about an hour and a half trying to get the update pushed (turned out it was my fault it wasn't working). It's possible not all the reps know about it.
For more info on the LGNPST process check out the thread in one of these forums about running it on windows 8. I have windows 7 but it had enough detail to get me through it.

I updated my phone to the 11c update through LGNPST, then I updated it OTA to 4.1.2 Jelly Bean. It works like a charm. So for all of you guys stuck at "Connection failed caused by authentication error." Just use LGNPST. If you dont know how, PM me.

I have a pretty dumb question re: this process, if you don't mind.
Can I just use the same version of LGNPST that worked for the failsafe restore to stock 10o, or do I need a new version of it from somewhere?

I used this version, open up your LGNPST, and see what version it is. I would do it with the one above. Just in case.

Oops, rooted I-545 running 4.3 was accidently updated to KitKat 4.4.2 and I lost root HELP!
I am starting a new thread because I think my message got lost in a 45-page thread and this is urgent.
My original S4 had the updating software renamed so that I wouldn't even be notified about updates, but I had to get a warranty replacement. I rooted it, but forgot to turn of the ability to update. Last week, while I was undergoing surgery for a kidney stone, my wife was using the phone in the waiting room. She saw a message that an update was ready and, since her S3 is totally stock and she always updates, she hit the ok button. That night, I discovered I was no longer rooted and that KitKat 4.4.2 was the new O/S.
I am very dependent on functionality that will only run rooted, so I really need to clear this up. For example, I use RCB as my phone and text blocker and it requires root to run. It's big advantage is that it does this all silently before the call bubbles up to where non-rooted call-blockers do a pickup and hangup (with an annoying fragment of a ring each time). Since I'm unable to run RCB or a root-level file browser to recover the logs of blocked numbers to use (temporarily, I hope) in something like Mr. Number.
Is there anything I can do to either root under KitKat, or back down my version of Android to 4.3 and then re-root the standard way?

This does not help him because he lost root & wants to get it back. This instructional thread assumes root has been maintained. Currently, there is no root solution for the 4.4.2 version. Apparently, patience is the only solution.

Actually it should because you can downgrade partially back to MK2 and then root using saferoot and then follow the top instructions to go back to fnc5 and it works because I have done it. If you havent done it you shouldnt comment.

Okay so the way to do this is simple: You will need to factory reset to stock. This will wipe all of your data, but if you do this correctly with Odin, then you will be surprised with how it works.
Use this thread to do a full or no wipe: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2578209"]http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2578209
Once you do that, you have to go through the processes and go to settings>phone info>software update and update your system software.
After that, you can re-root your device through this thread: http://www.ibtimes.co.uk/root-galaxy-s4-snapdragon-600-exynos-5-android-4-3-without-warranty-void-1431730

Does anyone have any idea what it is? Lollipop??
If anyone has installed it, does it break root?
I installed it and now I'm stuck in recovery (TWRP). Can't figure out how to boot back into system no matter what I do. Any suggestions would be appreciated.
Interested in knowing if this breaks root as well. Til then, no install for me.
No idea. Got the update notification just now but since I'm rooted and on a custom ROM, I don't think I should flash it.
If you're rooted, and unlocked, I would avoid this update like the plague. Give the devs time to look at it.
Just got the same message. It looks forced, you cant get rid of the message without adding a time to postpone until. I did 10am tomorrow, hoping it wont auto-update at that time and will bring the prompt back so i can postpone again. If anyone knows what apps to disable so that this cant happen that info would be great right now

I suggest never taking an OTA update if you aren't 100% stock.. and def never do one if on TWRP.
Fix being stuck in twrp - http://forum.xda-developers.com/lg-g3/development/fix-stuck-custom-recovery-trying-ota-t2907508
General info on taking OTA - http://forum.xda-developers.com/lg-g3/development/psa-stop-taking-ota-updates-update-t2909412
I'd assume this new OTA update today will block ioroot and stump from working. Whether a previously rooted phone will retain root through the OTA is a gamble.. may or may not work. Some have reported already that root has stuck thru the OTA. So might luck out with this one. For those who are not rooted and take the OTA update.. gaining root again may not be so easy (without downgrading).
Without seeing the bootloader.. can't say if Bump is blocked. Most likely not yet though.

Yeahh if we could get that, that'd be great. I don't wanna have to deal with breaking root/unlocked bootloader.
What I did when it asked for a time to update was just press the home button. Then it went into a notification saying an update is available. I think that'll keep it at bay.

Guys just freeze system update with titanium backup...
Lollipop? On Verizon? Hilarious.
I took the update. I'm not an expert but it looks like it's just an update from software version B to C. It puts a camera shortcut on the lock screen, which isn't really necessary given the back button shortcut. Still missing the rom I had on my Galaxy Nexus, which was more current than this. Love my phone, hate having outdated Android.
Root does not appear to be affected. I am not a dev, just a rooted phone owner so take that for what it's worth.
To Block OTA's visit this thread:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/verizon-lg-g3/general/how-to-disable-ota-downloads-verizon-t2914735
I caught wind of this on reddit before the update showed up and had a feeling my IORoot/Bump unlock setup wouldn't agree with this OTA. I used TiBu to freeze "System updates 1_13_10_0" and made a nandroid backup just in case. All good so far. Several redditors with custom recovery softbricked when they tried to install it, so this seems like the way to go for now.

I noticed this sitting there today and was wondering about it before i proceeded. I never use WiFi so it won't download so for now I am safe.
I just don't get it..Blow away!
Anyone know where the update is stored once downloaded? I'm assuming it's somewhere in the system folder, but not sure where to look.
I'm not sure if this is the right section, but has anyone else received the 5.0.2 update? I got mine about half an hour ago, but I can't find a changelog. These are the changes I've noticed so far:
It's somewhat faster
Apps no longer fail to launch (I'd try to open them before, but they would close immediately, and I'd have to dim the screen before trying to open the app again)
By the way, does "sunlight mode" do anything at all?

I just got this, I haven't loaded it yet, I have Gohma loaded. It will not let me swipe the notification away, Is installing my only option because that kind of messes up getting any other notification.
Just got this but cant find anything new. Sunlight mode was already available via lollipop update. Never used it but i assume if you use low brightness levels a quick swipe will make it brighter and vice versa rather than manually altering the brightness. Not an issue for me as i used mini launcher but they can't assume everyone does

It does not work by installing OTA with TWRP or flashing directly. I´ve tried to upload it with adb sideload and the original recovery, but it says "Error: protocol fault (no status), because I need adb 1.0.32 version.
I´ve installed also the new version, but now it says "unexpected contents on the update.zip"...

Do you have the Gohma ROM or Arter Kernel installed? Have you tried flashing a stock boot image from the LG G Watch Toolkit before flashing the update?
I'd fiddle around with it myself, but I keep my dock at work during the week.

No, I've stock rom with root and TWRP recovery. A user says me that the OTA doesn't work because root overwrites this two files: install-recovery.sh and recovery-from-boot

Do you know the path for those two files? We may luck out and the root process may have renamed them install-recovery.bak and recovery-from-boot.bak before writing the new files.

No, but I'll try some things ...
I just tried to flash it using TWRP after completely wiping everything but internal storage, thinking it might need a clean flash, but it gave me an error saying that it was unable to flash due to an error in executing the updater binary.
I'm going to flash the stock recovery on it, wipe the data and caches and see if adb sideloading it is any more effective.
EDIT: It isn't.
Im trying to manually push this update to my watch as well, has anyone figured out any solutions?
I tried flashing update-LWX48P5.0.1-to-LWX49K5.0.2.zip from http://rootjunkysdl.com/?device=LG G Watch&folder=OTA but it errors when I try through TWRP. I went back to stock but I do have an unlocked bootloader, I will try relocking and trying then.
Okay so thats weird, im on 5.0.1 but when i try and flash 5.0.2 from TWRP is errors saying that the device "lge/cm_dory/dory:4.4.2/KVT49L/567135e166:eng/test-keys"
how get it to read as 5.0.1 which I am on?
edit:
Soo, I wound up on 5.0.2 while trying to fix some of the random flashes I was trying to update. I wound up erasing my system.img and it was only booting to recovery, so I did the "back to stock" option from rootjunkys toolkit and it reflashed boot/system etc, and when I booted up to turn dev options back on it looks like it put 5.0.2 back on. So that fixed that
Bugs after LWX49K update
Since my watch was updated I cannot open any app on phone using my watch. Moreover - several watchfaces like those of Smartwatch Bureaux do not sync anymore. I own LG G3 and use Chupachups ROM v.4.2 V20h.
Can anyone solve that problem?
Hey guys!
Since it seems some of you are a bit confused about all this: Just use THIS tool here (LG G Watch Restore Tool, make sure you use version 9.5), go into fastboot mode (rebooting, when LG logo appears swipe from left upper to lower right corner) over USB and choose the option "6 Restore your G watch to stock".
Voila! Now you're on 5.0.2 with less effort than OTA updating
I discovered this by accident actually. I tried to restore stock so I can OTA update to 5.0.2, then I saw it's a pre-rooted system.img (because root overwrites OTA critical things so it fails) and already suspected it'd be the newest one

I was getting a lot of bugs also, but I'm not sure if it is watchmaker or update. Super slow now and notifications are random. I'm uninstalling watchmaker first to check.
going back to stock cause fricking anoying notification...
and some one made a kernel for 5.0.2. a new guy
Is this at all possible? When attempting to downgrade with LGUP, it interrupts the flashing process (usually) around 9% with this error:
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",
"lightbox_stop_slideshow": "Stop slideshow",
"lightbox_full_screen": "Full screen",

"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
Is there a way to force-flash it regardless of this error? Or am I stuck without root forever?
Any answers are greatly appreciated.
At this moment in time the answer is NO. This is why you want to not do an upgrade until root is confirmed for the newer OS. Once recovery is available maybe you might be able to get root back.
I should correct myself you can't use the kdz files and go back to lolipop

Thank you for the snappy reply! I have been very closely watching these forums on updates to either downgrade to lollipop, or root marshmallow. I sure hope we can get this resolved for people who's phone came with marshmallow

I had to downgrade using that same software when I purchased my Lg G3 and that alone sold me on the V10. With Samsung phones you are stuck if you have a newer OS.
The main reason you cannot downgrade is that the software won't flash an old version (as it checks your version stub), at all, on Verizon.

So, with the way you termed it, it sounds like it's a software problem with LGUP?? If so, do you think it can be patched to ignore the version?

The software itself makes it do this, and it is irrevocable and not able to do so in the builds, it reminds me of when I had my galaxy s4 and this happened as well.
According to this thread , you can:

I normally do not root my phones, but I am having battery drain problems and I see no advantage to Marshmallow. I may downgrade if I cannot resolve my current problem.

Could you quote the part on that post where it talks about downgrading the firmware? As far as I can tell from the link you provided, that post only talks about returning the phone back to stock. And just to be clear, once you install the OTA update to the MM build, your stock is now the MM firmware. Please correct me if I am wrong.

You may be correct, and hopefully somebody more knowledgeable than myself will chime in, but this text is part of the instructions from that thread:
TO GO BACK TO LP FROM MM - Open LGUP on your computer, click on FILE PATH and point it towards your LP KDZ. Close LGUP and re-open LGUP. Make sure you select REFURBISH this will do a FULL wipe, tick BIN file. Press Start. Make cup of tea and be patient
This does not work on the Verizon variant

I was having the same battery drain problem after the Marshmallow update on my V10. I let it go for a couple days to see if things would improve. Unfortunately, things weren't getting any better. While I've rooted a lot of Android phones in the past, I didn't really want to void the warranty on this phone yet.
I went ahead and did a factory reset and the battery is working better than ever. I usually use Titanium Root to backup, but had to rely on LG Backup this time. It worked well enough even though it took a long time to copy everything to the SD Card (about 3 hours for 4 GB). Only things that didn't come through after restoring were my home screen settings and the history for one game. No big deal, about an hour to get everything configured back to original (grab screenshots of your homescreen first).
Pretty thrilled to see the battery performing better than ever. Just got 16 hours out of it yesterday and had 35% left on somewhat light use.

The instructions say otherwise. There is even links to Verizon drivers. Where do you see that this method does not work for Verizon V10's?

The thread also states its for certain models of LG V10 but the LGUP has a anti rollback built into it that will not allow you to go from marshmallow to lollipop on certain models...

Thanks. :good:
So, maybe someone could come up with a anti rollback work around? Hopefully, or some other alternative.

Possible if someone could reverse-engineer LGUP to allow downgrading. I have the lollipop KDZ file, now all I need is a way to flash it to my vs990.
In an attempt to downgrade an error was not seen in LGUP. As far as anyone could tell the phone and LGUP were in sync up until 85% or so and the reboot was initiated. The phone never came back on. LGUP made it to 100% but the phone stayed black. Maybe not,enough time was allowed to pass but the battery was then removed. The phone became a brick and wouldnt start in any mode. When plugged into a computer the computer sees something tries to install a driver then fails. Do not try and downgrade from Marshmallow with LGUP. It will not work.
