Hi everyone
I was gifted an unlocked t-mobile vibrant a few days ago. Need to confirm if I can update the 2.2 firmware when it is made available without losing the unlock? Fyi, when I press on firmware update in the settings menu it says no firmware..wonder why that is...hope someone here can clarify
P.s. Already tried searching on the forums but didn't find anything that confirms the above

First of all, wrong section. Second, you shouldn't lose your carrier unlock when you update firmware. Lastly, the reason it says "No firmware" is because T-mobile has not officially released any updates for the Vibrant. When an OTA update is made available to you, it will show up.
if you need it to remain unlocked because you are using it on another carrier you won't get the 2.2 ota from t-mobile. However i'm willing to bet within hours of its release we will have it here to be able to flash for rooted users.

If you ever have questions, please post them in the Q&A subforum, not the development subforum. Your thread has been moved to the Q&A sub-forum.
As far as your question goes: Theoretically, you shouldn't loose it, but since there are no 2.2 updates, yet, there is no way to know 100%.
Can anyone help me find out how could I update my Droid software overseas? I would like to have Sense 5 and 4.2.2
This question was probably already raised by I couldn't find the answer

I'm sure it was probably an accident, but you should be posting this in the q&a section.
Is your device unlocked? If so I believe there is a 4.2.2 stock-based rom in the Android Development section, you could just flash that. Otherwise you should just do the 3.06 RUU: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2612740 note that your entire phone will be erased if you do the RUU so you should do a backup first.

Thanks for that!

LG G3 ZV8 update with flash tool
I wanted to update with the flash tool seeing as how I am on ZV6 with no root or custom recovery installed, but it needs a .dll. Do i use the stock .dll or is it just missing from here?

Yes. Or if you need it, it's linked the the General Flashtool thread.
I was wondering if anybody had mirrored the system img yet? If so that would be amazing, please and thank you!
The same as everyone Else!!
Just to thank you excelent work !!!
Solo para darte las gracias excelente trabajo amigo!!
Can someone describe how I would go about getting the system.img file?
System image from ZV8
I have extrated from the tot all the system files, merge them in an image file, i've used WindowsLGFirmwareExtract-1.2.5.0-Release but i do not know if it was done the right way, can someone take a look at it, I am uploading the file as soon as it finish will post the link it is about 2.81GB.
Where is the ota zip file at. I'm shocked it's not here yet
Flash2 from ZV6 to Lollipop?
autoprime -
Apologies if this is a stupid question, but i used your flash2 method to update to ZV6 and preserve root. I was wondering if the same method will work to get me from ZV6 to ZV8? If so, which .img files do I need to dump in which folders?
Thanks in advance - I really appreciate the work you do, and the help.
The file from the LG website that was posted is just a tarball of source code. It is NOT the OTA update and hence cannot be flashed by anything.
Lg G3 zv8
LG's website has the zip file called "LGLS990_G3_Android_L_ZV8" Could this not be downloaded and put on the sd card, reboot into recovery and loaded that way? It won't let me post a url but here's my attempt... opensource(dot)lge(dot)com/osSch/list?types=ALL&search=ls990
Usually when I go to that site I still have to type in LS990 to get the page with the files on it.

Tried that and it didn't work through the stock recovery

That file isn't an update or image of any sort. It's just an archive of source code LG released in order to stay compliant with the various open-source licenses from Android and whatever else they used.
ota
Did anyone get the ota zip yet
Just to be clear.... sorry for being a noob... If i want to keep root, Its wise to wait for the update to officially come out & be made into a flashable TOT? I do not know how to use the ADB tool & I refuse to lose root.

If you are rooted and have custom recovery just go here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=58846091 and flash the pre rooted rom.

I have just flashed a Europe firmware meant for H815 to H815T. In doing so I have upgraded from lollipop to marshmallow. The firmware is so smooth and fast except that there is a big problem. NO SIM signal. I know that this is because of some base band problem. Can you guys please guide me on what to do? I had tried to search but got no satisfying answer. Please also note that Phone Information shows "This application cannot run on your device".
Please help me as my device is unable to receive calls/SMS.
Thank You

I don't have this device but, your best bet is to post this question within the following Q&A thread that's specific to your device.

Hi friends.
After several hours of searching, I'm posting my question here (bought my first LG smartphone so I don't have many references, so maybe it's simple but I can't find the solution).
I just bought an LG G8X, model number LM-G850UM. It comes with an At&T overlay. It's unlocked, no SIM issues. I would just like to remove AT&T completely. I mean, not just the bloated apps.
The point is, I'd like to be able to install ROM updates without waiting for it to go through ATT every time (I'm not even in the US). For example, take any international KDZ to downgrade, and be able to receive OTA without waiting for it to be officially available through ATT.
It's a bit confusing, I tried to explain as best I could.
I want to do the same thing. I tried with KDZ and LGUP but didn't work...
I can confirm that this method worked for my LGM850UM. Went from AT&T Android 9 to OPEN_CA Android 11.
