To my knowledge, a Verizon sim is needed to get OTA updates from this phone, which I do not have. Was wondering if anyone can possible grab a KDZ, possibly through the LG Upgrade Assistant or by their phone?
As of now we can only use the OTA method, which if you are rooted, requires you to hard flash the stock kdz over and wait at least 2 hours or more for the backend of the phone to update. The VS99022A kdz still hasn't been found yet, sorry.
Maybe through the Verizon software assistant but I haven't tried

That's what I'm asking someone to do if possible. For me, when I try the Update Assist, it says I'm up to date since I don't have a Verizon sim card.

Software Upgrade Assistant fails
SUA acts like it knows my phone is connected, even says searching for updates, but never lists my G2 in the window of devices. Drivers are current and using LG cable to a main USB port.
Does LG post changelogs or would this come from Verizon?
I would think VZW since they are the one changing LG's software.

Most idiot-proof way to upgrade atm is using the Verizon upgrade utility that is included with the phone. Just hook it up to your pc, follow the autorun prompt, and then proceed to download it and it should install the update automatically.
Dumb question probably... Do I need to do something first if coming from malladus rom like revert to stock?
Thanks

I believe so. You may have to kill root as well if you're using the upgrade assistant method.

Can you update with root or should we reset to factory settings?

I haven't rooted and I could download and apply the OTA fine, so it would appear that rooting prevents OTA!

I install application called OTA ROOT KEEPER which allow me to unroot the device and re root again, but also nothing happens after unroot it
Why don't you check threads before you open new one?!

Hello,
I have an LG g3 (Verizon VS985) which is non rooted and in stock condition, The thing is I bought it from open market and I am not a Verizon user which means it is sold most probably after being career unlocked or tampered, Everything in the phone works like a charm but today I got this problem with the software update
The problem is that my phone always gives me up to date status when i check for updates, i thought it must be some problem with the update servers or my phone so i tried updating via Verizon Software upgrade assistant on PC.
The software tells me the same that my phone is up to date whereas we all know that Verizon has rolled out VS98511C update 3 days ago.
The weird thing is that the phone # it shows in upgrade assistant is 000000000, which i think is because it is career unlocked.
I want help regarding the fix to this problem and how can i update to VS98511C , Kindly guide me in detail to get latest updates as I am new to all this and I am waiting for Android L update on my phone as well. I like my phone to be stock for a while because i like new G3 interface, before i root it and install custom roms.
P.S : I wonder how to do the update.zip procedure and will it work ? given the tampered nature of carrier.

Your 2nd to last paragraph seems misinformed - you should NOT update if you EVER want to be able to root and/or run custom roms. Currently, the 11c update blocks the ability to root, and contains an anti-rollback safeguard. I would strongly suggest avoiding it like the plague. Just my 2c.
Actually rooting is not the primary thing here. I like stock rom better so update is the priority.... I hope someone helps me.

Whatever is going on with your phone, it has nothing to do with it not being carrier locked. None of the Verizon LG G3's were ever carrier locked. Even stock unrooted as they ship they will accept any GSM sim. Mine works on T-Mobile and ATT GSM and LTE, for example, as well as Verizon LTE, depending on which sim I currently have installed.
As far as getting your G3 back to factory v10b, you will need to search XDA for instructions on how to restore the v10b .TOT file. Since your intent is to get the OTA to install, destroying your G3 probably forever as far as development is concerned, you are on your own for that project. I have done it. Its tricky but works, but once you are on the OTA afterwards you are out of the game altogether and cannot even restore a working factory image At All, even if you need to.

Ok tha ks for clarifying... Can you olease explain what is v10b ? Sorry for the noob question xD
Sent from my VS985 4G using XDA Free mobile app
Version 10b is the firmware that Verizon originally shipped on the G3. There has been one update so far. That is called the Over The Air (OTA) update. Your phone will automatically update if it is on the stock firmware (v10b).

Ok so the thing is if my phone is on factory software why havent i recieved the update like others...? I mean it should normally.
Does update depend on area because I am outside US right now
Sent from my VS985 4G using XDA Free mobile app
That is probably the problem, being outside the USA and so, I guess not on Verizon's network? If you have a different vendor sim chip installed, that might also block the OTA.
If I were you, I would root you G3 with stump-root, then bump it to install TWRP recovery, then keep an eye out here on XDA for the developers to release a TWRP-flashable version of the safe and useful parts of the OTA (if any) and apply them via TWRP.
Thanks for clarification.... I will do it on the weekend, can i send you PM if i need some assistance during root n all ...?

I tried to check updates through the phone and it said my phone is up to date. I also try the Verizon upgrade assistant and it checks the phone's info but it doesn't give me the option to upgrade. I am no Android Version 4.4.2 and on software version VS98510B. I just bought this phone on craigslist. Help me out please?
Root it, install and update TWRP, and JasmineROM. Boom.
I would rather not root the phone.
No harm in rooting it, only benefit as half the people I talk with don't even like Lollipop, especially not the broken VZW version. With root, at least YOU can choose when the phone YOU bought and own with YOUR hard earned money is upgraded. Just my 2c. Otherwise I don't know why it would be doing that. Keep in mind if you upgrade to the broken Verizon LP build and don't like it you'll be rooting anyways to downgrade back.

Use the 23C_01 KDZ with LG Flash Tool 2014 in Windows. Have the Verizon specific LG drivers installed first.

Sometimes when downgrading to 10B you will not be able to update. So KDZ to 12B and then take OTA.

How do I get the 12B KDZ? I can't find it by google. What is OTA? Over the air? How do I do that?
12B KDZ should be in this forum... somewhere....
OTA = Over the Air
If you are on an unmodified, unrooted stock with stock recovery, it should trigger automatically. If not, got to Settings and have it check for an update. Pretty large files, may wish to make sure that you are on wifi.
Mines the same way on 4.4.2 and says up to date my version is vs98510a tho...
Most likely if you aren't getting ota, you are not using it on verizon. Like me lol

thats not entirely correct.
if you are not getting updates, most likely some uninformed person flashed the phone with the 10b kdz, which is not on the official update path, and why you cant get updates.
use one of the return to stock threads in the general forum to fix it, and use any other kdz or tot but not the 10b kdz or you will be right back stuck again.
Can I use LGUP to flash the .kdz for marshmallow over my rooted lollipop image using upgrade option in LGUP? Yes I want to lose root. I miss android pay to much.
Yes, as long as it's the whole .kdz image and not the update it will do a complete wipe of your phone to factory.
