So I have been looking all over the forums for the answer to this question but have not been able to find it. My Optimus G is rooted and has the boot loader unlocked via Free Gee. Still running the stock ROM with LG Skin. Question is if and when the 4.1 update releases will I be able to update or will I have to lock the boot loader again? Appreciate any help a lot of helpful info out here.

Don't accept any otas once you are rooted and unlocked. There will be a pretty good chance that the ota will have a fix that will break the root and/or unlock.
Actually, you can freeze "com.lge.lgfota.permission" and "com.lge.omadm.client" in ti bu. That will prevent the ota notification.

Okay I thought that would be the case, just wanted to double check before that came out. So do you think that it would be all good to install if I just locked the boot loader back or would I need to completely unroot my device as well?

Pretty sure the ota would just unroot and lock your phone unless you are on a custom ROM.

That's what I was thinking too because my last Android phone before this one was the Galaxy S2 Epic 4G Touch and every time I installed an ota it would remove root.

You can't accept an ota because of custom recovery and the unlocked bootloader; otas will fail to apply and you'll be suck rebooting into recovery until we fix your misc.

[Q] How will we know when it is released?
Other than keeping an eye on the media, how will we know when it is being released for our phone?
Is there a preferred site that we should be monitoring?
Will LG release it before AT&T tries to send it OTA? If so would it not have all the bloat that AT&T likes to add?
That's enough questions for now.
Thanks for answering...

That is what I have been doing, just checking the Internets and going that I see that article that says "Hey U.S. Optimus G users its finally here"!
I just wish LG would get the ball rolling on this soon, but hopefully releasing it in Korea is a sign that it is coming...

um, not really. The korean version of ICS was out in november for the LG o3d and there is no update in sight for any non korean o3d. Forget the waiting game.

Go to settings > about phone > software info, and tell us what build number you have. If (xxx)11o, then you've just received the 11c update in all likelihood. If your build ends with 11c, then it's something new. As mentioned above, my money is on the 11c update.

Yes you can move apps to the SD card.
You will, but the app data will remain in the internal memory.
If it's anything like other phones I've had on t mobile, they will delay this update 2-3 months.

At least it is coming. I don't care that much of the official JB 4.1.2 ROM it self, but the unlocked bootloader means everything.
I just checked the link that had restricted access for lg p769 jb update link. it no longer works it keeps saying not found now/?
does anyone know anything about the other P9 models? Like P768/769/765?

Seems it is removed from server. Not too much difference to us, since we can't download it anyway. The important thing is that it exists, and chances are we will get it someday.

I think the delay for the t769 jb is due to Tmobile adding more bloatware to it.

We always know how to remove those bloatware. :laugh: It's the casual users that suffer from bloatware (they don't care that much, but on the other hand, they are the majority of people, that's why Tmobile benefits from doing that).

No VS980 Firmware for Verizon or does the LS980 work for both?
yeah seems there's no vzw.But there'll be one soon surely @houstonn just started these builds but the are stable.
Can you make a video where you show how android 4.4 works on g2? Nobody has made one yet.. So would be great if you was the first:good:And one Question, how is the gaming performance on this rom compared to the stock 4.2.2 lg rom?

Yes the G2 can detect if you have full root with the LG Rootdector. From my understanding you can flash back to stock and all Indication will be removed. I haven't tried that myself so I can really say if it true. But again I also don't use warranties either. That's what I pay insurance for ☺
