EDIT: LG HAS PAUSED THE UPDATE DUE TO POOR BATTERY LIFE AND APP FORCE CLOSES...
It should be arriving soon according to the page! Here is the pic,
IF ANYONE HAS RECIVED THIS UPDATE PLEASE POST THAT YOU HAVE RECIVED IT...
PEOPLE WHO HAVE RECIVED THE UPDATE PLEASE TELL US IF YOU WERE ROOTED, and share all the new goodies that come with it
According to Mars11_, T-Mobile is updating by manufacture date.
Even though our p769 was at the end of the line of other L9 variants, for a phone that was just released at the end of last year, 4.1 came pretty fast. Good job LG. Sucks for HTC One S owners on T-Mobile
Wonder if it make it easier to unlock bootloader or if it will close exploits.

Usually they release it in waves so servers don't crash. If anyone can provide a manual download link that'll be cool...

Not to sound like I'm complaining but.. kind of amusing how we're happy with a version of Android that's been out for almost a year already. I'm glad to see that LG is providing a pretty quick update for a non flagship device. Can't wait to try some Google Now action
If you receive this update please upload the zip file for everyone else before applying it. The file should be located on the internal SD.
Be aware that this may disable and block root.
It's a hoax

I called T-Mobile and got in contact with a tech, according to them the roll out begins tomorrow and, if this guy knew what he was talking about, people with straight talk sims will also be getting the OTA update.
I have a family mobile SIM. Shouldn't matter though.

I'm guessing that given the update is specifically for the T-Mobile L9 variant T-Mobile decided to push the update back a day, I don't think LG can control when it goes out over T-Mobiles network.
Congrats guys, this means pretty much all L9s have a 4.1 update now. I'm sure P778 will be next.
Hopefully more revisions come out for the P768, the V20A is our only version and it's bloated.

I have the Sprint LG Optimus G and I want to flash it to Boost Mobile because I don't like Sprint itself.
I would like someone to kindly provide me with detailed instructions or source that could aid me in flashing over the carrier. I don't have big bucks to offer someone to help me out, that's why am looking to learn.
Also I am looking to buy the Samsung Galaxy Prevail off Craigslist to do the swap of ESN, but can I still have 4G with LTE? Boost confirmed there's LTE here in NYC, so someone help me please!
Have you tried the Sprint LG Optimus G forum?

I'm sure there is some logical answer to this that someone can explain, but it is something that has been on my mind lately. Why do we even have fragmentation of Android on our devices? 4.4 just came out, and despite the rumors the chances we will ever go beyond 4.1.1 on our DNA without the use of ROMs is slim. This is because we have to wait for HTC to make the update, then Verizon to push it out.
But why don't we cut out Verizon? How about HTC, Samsung, Sony, etc push the updates directly to the device without Verizon? Maybe HTC has something like a HTC Device Manager that lets you select your device and OS, and shows you your version along with the latest with the option to update. It shouldn't be too hard... Apple does it. Even though I dislike iPhones, their updating structure is superior. Updating should be in the hands of the manufacture, not the carrier. That way only HTC is to blame.
It shouldn't be too hard for manufacturers to make updates for their devices since they should have people being paid to do such. Here on XDA we have a great community of people that seem to do more in their free time and it quicker than anyone employed by the manufacturer.
Last thing, Google can help with fragmentation by putting more features into the Playstore. A great example is the the Google Keyboard. Beforehand the only way to get it was on something like a Nexus, but now anyone can get it. Why can't Google put the new KitKat launcher and Dialer into the Playstore?
The reason Verizon pushes the update out of because they have contracts with the manufacturers. Verizon wants to make sure all its bloatware is in the rom and make sure everything is functional on the network. If HTC broke the contract Verizon would simply no longer carry the phone.

Exactly this. The Apple thing is moot. Apple is the only company who releases iOS, so Apple has the choice if they want their phone on that carrier. Android manufacturers are a dime a dozen, so they have to sign contracts and follow what the carrier wants to keep their devices on that carrier.
What is more devastating? No Samsung phones on a certain carrier, or no iOS? The carrier has a handful of android devices to choose from if one manufacturer drops. If Apple drops, there will be no more iOS on that carrier.

If all phones that are able to run the latest version did get the upgraded version of android, you'd have less of an incentive to buy the latest phone coming out. Are the newest phones really THAT much better than the DNA? Verizon wants you to get a new phone.
As a rooted user and prefer aosp to sense, I'm pretty confident I'll have the latest version of android way past official updates. On my droid x, I had ICS shortly after gingerbread was officially released for it.

Getting the newest version of Android is the reason I root and load custom roms on my phone. When I buy a phone I know Verizon won't support it for long. I just wish Verizon would pick up a Nexus phone...

Verizon did pick up a nexus phone. The Galaxy Nexus, and it was just as bad about updates.

According to Google, the reason for no CDMA nexus devices has to do with CDMA requiring proprietary binaries. However, I wonder if it's more than that because as far as I know the Google Play Edition GS4 and HTC One aren't coming to Verizon either.

The Nexus 5 has CDMA support, but only on Sprint. It doesn't have support for Verizon's bands.

Hmmm... Didn't know that. Even more reason for me to believe there's something more to it. I think it may have something to do with Verizon's effort to keep the bootloaders on all its devices locked down like a chastity belt, whereas Google wants the devices to be for unlockable.

Why would it be illegal your not taking any paid apps or anything or breaking the law by doing what you want with your device.

You are thinking of the law about unlocking the Sim lock. Not unlocking the bootloader. Our DNA's are sim unlocked out of the box.

Yes it does go in Q&A.
There are working models at best buy. I'm not 100% sure how you would check...probably just boot into the bootloader and see what it says.
The T-Mobile version boot loader is usually unlocked.

I'm not buying until I know for sure. Even then I might go with HTC since KNOX Security sucks.
I'm gonna tell T-Mobile as soon as I get mine that everything's working fine, don't want a replacement, but note that knox was already tripped when I got it. Ha ha
Not sure how they can dispute that later for warranty issues.
Even though I'm probably not going to root it or anything for a while.

T-Mobile WILL have LOCKED BL
Guys here
This time around it looks like AT&T, Verizon and T-Mobile will have S5 with locked bootloader. (Only Sprint's S5 will have unlocked BL).
1. AT&T started with S4 and continued the tradition there after (G2, N3 etc.) (Also no dev edition AFAIK)
2. T-Mobile started with LG G Flex and looks like it will continue the tradition with S5. (Source) (Also no dev edition AFAIK)
3. Verizon started who knows when? (At least verizon is nice enough to have Dev edition, albeit expensive as hell).
What does all this mean?
Well you can't have "traditional" custom recovery so that means NO ASOP, NO custom Kernels etc.
You can have a recovery called "Safestrap" which will allow you to flash only TW based ROMs and simple MODs such as bootanimations but nothing more.
That is possible.
Not a confirmation that the T-Mobile variant with be locked though.
With the most recent update to the s4 they could have made it locked but they didn't as far as I can tell. Just has knox on it.
Still will need to wait and see I guess.

Everyone knows development only really takes off after about 6 months to a year. Give the devs time to crack the possible locked bootloader.

I got a tmobile s4 and note 3 both with updated 4.4.2 bootloaders and they are not locked. what att do or verizon has nothing to go with tmobile. as far as the lg flex that was lg decision not tmobile as they are all locked. knox has nothing to do with a locked bootloader. I do not see tmobile locking the bootloader
Tmobile decided to lock z1s bootloader. Trend is pointing in the wrong direction if you ask me. Hopefully they don't lock it.

Alcatel OneTouch line are because of Secure Lock, and are still modern phones they are selling. You have the burden of proof on your hands. I for one wouldn't buy a T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 5 before knowing 100% it's unlocked or unlockable. Besides... the Note 3 is still unlocked and quite a comparable device!
We'll see in a few weeks.

As a matter of fact, it's really all on the hands of Verizon. Whenever they release it, they do it. Either them or though the Xperifirm software...

lollipop is coming guys. :fingers-crossed:
Holy crud, went through this with the old LG Spectrum, at least we finally got custom ROMs for them.
Another reason for VZW to allow bootloader unlock, it would keep the masses happy and the masses would not have to wait for VZW to add all the bloatware to the ROMs.
With lollipop being more locked down and root exploit resistant we need the bootloader unlock more than ever now.
Oh, VZW Droid Turbo to receive lollipop in June.

My big questions are:
1. When (of course)?
2. Will it include VoLTE?
3. Will it include functional Visual Voicemail?
4. Will it fix auto-bluetooth functions?
I'm back to using a *@#% iPhone 6 for now...when connected to bluetooth in my 2015 Volvo the damned Z3v would call the wrong number. I'd pick someone from my "recent" call log and it would dial some random person in my address book instead about a third of the time. Not even someone I'd called in years. That's just totally unacceptable.
I really want my son's LG G2. Maybe I can trick him into a trade?
verizon blows... this device is tight, verizon is not.
