This appears legit and there is also a post on Verizon's website with a question from a user running it.
What the hell is "Security Software Version:??? I highly recommend not going near this if your any kind of customized!!

Sure looks like a copy of the Sprint G3 info screen that's been photoshopped. Also, its really unnecessary to start a vague new thread to call attention to yourself when we have threads on this topic.
I like the Goonies reference.
Nope
That Google+ is my original post. It is in no way altered or photoshopped. As mentioned in my post there may be a reason behind the OTA update. If you'd like more proof to verify please let me know, I'd be happy to oblige..
Contact a developer....you might be able to pull a factory image
@Technical12, follow the steps at the end of the first post. http://forum.xda-developers.com/verizon-lg-g3/general/reference-stock-img-files-t2966958 and send the files over.
Downloading ABD and I'll attempt to pull the image. Wish me luck...I'm not well versed in this.

Nice. I have been pestering Verizon literally every day for two weeks asking when they are going to finish adding their bloatware, supercookies, and spyware and push the update. Finally today they banned me from all their twitter accounts. :highfive:
Read the comments. People are confirming they got the update. This pleases me greatly!

Just wish someone would pull their system so we can confirm it. Been on CM12 but wanted all stock features back. Really missing the trusted devices feature.
In case anyone is wondering the guy got a replacement phone which downloaded the update when he turned on the phone. He said he is going to try to pull the system image tomorrow morning.

InB4 people start loosing root and the ability to bump then start whining like a bunch of little gurlz.
#justsayin
I've got my popcorn ready for this upcoming sh*t storm of ill advised LP upgrades People need to practice patience. Updates are usually a bad thing.
But yet...people will take that OTA...seek out that OTA (that they previously had blocked)...and then complain about root being broken and not being able to revert back. Should be a good show :good:
I guess it is starting a slow leak out.... LG Support tool shows that I have an update when I first start the tool app, and then quickly flashes back to "your software is up to date".
I don't think anybody needs to worry about losing root just yet. Other than here, I haven't seen any news about a Verizon G3 update. I'd take this thread with a huge grain of salt.
Well as long as revert is possible were good,! Will see though ,this could be the update that stops that
We see this with every update on every device. People jump to take the OTA, then are mad at manufacture and carrier because they are unable to root or unlock bootloader. Rollback may not be possible with LP update. Look at the Note 3 (where I came from), once you took the 4.4.2 OTA, you were beat for rollback. Chainfire said awhile back how complicated root will be with LP. I will wait for the devs to deliver a pre rooted rom before I ever take an OTA.
LISTEN TO THE WARNINGS IF YOU WANT/NEED ROOT!
My software is official. I'm just not versed in pulling images. And as easy as most say it is I'm not able to do it. If someone would provide some help I could have the image up in an hour.

I downloaded the free version of ROM manager expecting a lot of new neat things. After exploring things such as the free roms, i eventually paid for the app. When i look to download roms from the premium selection there are non to be downloaded. i see the same free roms as before. Im not sure whats going on but i wanted to get the better "paid" roms like cyanogen otherwise i wasted money purchasing the app.

Well, you might have wasted your money for two reasons..
1. There is no official build for Cyanogen on the atrix (meaning it is not supported officially by someone on the Cyanogen team (website)) but we do have a pre-beta build that is supported by quit-a-few developers from XDA. The Atrix Developers Team
2. ROM manager is just "easier" (somewhat) to install ROMS but you can get all the same ROMS listed here on XDA for free just by navigating to the website on your phone, download, then boot into CWM and flash.
I don't believe in buying an app if I can do it myself unless, it offers some very useful tools.
I believe the only thing that the paid version gets you - is the ability to initiate backups from the app itself and to install/update the superuser.apk. There may be one or two other things im forgetting - as far as ROMS - there are no "paid" ROMS.... at least none I know of.... including CyanogenMod
then i must say i feel like i want to pursue a refund from my carrier. i didnt get anything from buying the app, so i must have gotten ripped off.

I can't believe this is how the forums managers actually feel about our bootloader being unlocked. They are ignoring/deleting posts on Facebook if you ever mention "bootloader" and reply to posts that praise them...or if its about MOTOACTV.
My post was deleted, and others are trying to get it reposted every time its missing again.
My post:
Copy Pastable:
Code:
Motorola: Ignoring the bootloader problem isn't going to make it go away. I love my Droid RAZR but you are making it very hard for developers to make great software for your devices. It is NOT an industry standard to lock them down (HTC, Samsung, ASUS,etc.) and you should stop telling your consumers it is. I bought my Droid RAZR believing your statement that you would unlock the bootloaders by the end of 2011 if carriers allowed it. HTC unlocked all of theirs by the end of 2011, Verizon included. Not to mention you made the International version Motorola RAZR locked as well... All your customers want it some light on the situation, not our questions deleted.
It's not hard to tell that you are deleting posts and comments when someone mentions "bootloader", but they won't stop coming into you make a statement. And not just a statement like http://moto.ly/icsboot
Please listen and not just delete this post. Reply! Totally open to conversation and debate.
With them deleting post...we need to re-double our efforts.
That's definitely a fake account, they copy pasted the same thing a million times and can't even spell whining.

This phone is amazing without unlocked bootloaders, it's still rootable, and for those of us who are no longer flashaholics and kept their phone stock, it does EVERYTHING a rooted phone can do (with a little searching in the market). IMO, you're fighting a losing battle (for now, until we get ICS).

That's wierd, I don't know who would have motivation to be impersonating them. However, if an official Twitter account told you the Facebook account was fake, you should probably edit your first post to mention that very clearly. We want to be as understanding and professional with those at Moto who do speak and listen to us, just making sure we're not hurting those people's reputation, thanks!
Update (5/23): Just to clarify, this doesn't unlock the bootloader as previously thought, it just helps ROM/kernel/recovery developers bypass it: Link Here

check out foldermount. might help with the pain of the smaller storage size. basically moves data to the external SD, but leaves a symlink on the internal so that apps, etc that point to that directory can still access the files. obviously not the same as a larger internal storage, but at least it helps.
I didn't figure it was going to take long for the phone to be rooted, and custom recoveries/roms installed. It didn't take long for the GS3 to fall to the modding community.
Once you root, NO MORE OTAS!!!!
People will read that, and still do it anyway, and well, that's on them.
This is the best news I've heard related to Verizon in a long time.

oh man, i couldnt take it anymore. ingress should me how really terrible the service was.
got mine last night, ready for root... :good:
I'm going to try out stock for at least a few days. I'm coming from a DINC2 running CM7 in preparation for this. It's going to be a nice boost in every regard, I think.
The lure of root is tough to beat, though. I've only ever had HTC smartphones, so I've been used to waiting a month or two for root. This might be tough.
this is awesome. super excited!
i hear vz's s4 shipped with a root patch.

Unfortunately so, it looks like Verizon had time to upgrade to the new secure kernel (same as Sprint's latest OTA). And now we all know why they wanted to take that extra month.

Skipping 4.4 would not be entirely unprecedented (Note II skipped an iteration of Android, either 4.2 or 4.3). However, I doubt a company that clearly does not have their US ducks in a row, so much so that they can't tell you if or when their new flagship will even be sold here, will be putting Lollipop on our AM2 anytime soon.
I don't know why you would say that? I have had nothing but a pleasant experience with Huawei and I'm running 3 Mate2s at my company and all unlocked and Rooted. Communication with [email protected] has always gave me prompt bootloader unlock codes and I would not be surprised to see this phone get L. It's the only phone they have out with LTE in America and will be forced to update to stay in the game. However right now the phone works and looks great and for $300 you can't get a better phone
Using Rooted Huawei Ascend Mate 2
Won't matter to me if it never gets an update. My last phone, a Note1, was stuck at 4.1.2 for almost 18 months, and it didn't bother me one bit. It was STABLE.
My Mate2, same setup. It's STABLE that is what I'm after, be it JB, KK or Lollipop.
I got excited and asked them about it, but they might know me by now haha.

You know I've actually been thinking about this ever since they posted that picture a month ago that showed the Android 'L' style navigation buttons.... I have been secretly wondering all this time if they were planning on skipping KitKat altogether in favor of one big upgrade to Android 5.0 (what we now know is called Lollipop). This pretty much tracks with that.... oooh how I'd love to be right on this one!

Confirmed that we'll possibly get some development progress on custom/aosp or even lollipop ports to our device. We currently gained official support for TWRP. That's a big step.

He's talking about the picture on Instagram of the HAM2 laying on lollipops. I believe Huawei was offering free lollipops. connect the dots.
My SGP612, Z3 Tablet Compact from Japan(I think, via eBay) 32GB Wifi, has said that it's up to date via the "About Tablet" settings and the Sony software on Windows and Mac ever since I've had it. Never got the 5.0 Lollipop and now the 5.1 is being released and nothing. Is there something easy that I was supposed to do here or does anyone know any little tips or tricks for this? Thanks very much.
Up to date, 5.1 release is only for: Italy and Benelux regions, speaking of model 612.
But you can flash it manually as I did. Works perfectly, though my region is Central Europe.

Agreed we shouldn't have to but things don't always work out that way.
It is great that we have options and contributors such as @sebarkh to step in with advice that I would never figure out on my own.
I am in the UK and likewise watching out for the update. If it fails to materialise OTA then I am reassured that there is a manual solution. But so far I am very impressed by what Sony is doing both in terms of hardware offerings and ongoing software support. Samsung needs to take heed.

You're definitely right. I'll eventually stop being lazy and just do it myself for sure, just hoping I won't have to. I do really like what Sony is doing too. Hoping for a Z4/5 Ultra this year! Thanks for your help guys!
Luckily the 5.1 update came today for me over wifi, which was nice cause I didn't feel like using the desktop software. Looks great!
Just wondering if I am alone in waiting on the UK OTA update to 5.1.1?
If, for some reason, I have missed the boat then I shall follow sebarkh's advice and use XperiFirm. Otherwise I am happy to wait a while longer for Sony to get round to us.
Hi, I am now able to answer my own question. Yesterday Sony OTA upgraded my UK OS to v5.1.1
So I can defer rolling up my sleeves and getting my hands dirty and possibly voiding my warranty for a while. The need for Root is becoming quite pressing though.
Just stay on 4.4 because the 5.1.1 update sucks! There is no change regarding the throttling issue when brightness is above 50% or when you have automatic brightness activated so, the intermitent lag is stiil present.

No throttling for me anymore on 5.1.1
