It would be nice if someone would capture and upload all OTA updates for this phone so we don't have to go through multiple downloads and installs when updating from an older OTA.

Hi I have the latest omega rom on my phone but when I try to software update on my phone it says that latest updates are installed even though I know theres a new updates.
If I try to update via kies it says my phone is not compatible to update (or something along those lines)
Can anyone tell me how to get the latest update thanks
You need to stick with stock ROMs if you want OTA updates and via kies, you should also understand all the drawbacks, risks and benefits of customs ROMs before you flash them.
Omega, like all other custom ROMs will break OTA firmware updates and kies. Go to the Omega thread, download the latest version and follow the chef's instuctions to flash it.
I'm currently s-off/rooted running ViperROM. I received the notification that the OTA is ready for download already but haven't taken it. Joelz said that he suggests updating the firmware for when he drops his 4.4 sense 5.5 ROM. I want to update to 4.2.2/sense5 via the OTA to be up to date on "stock", but as i've never taken an ota while on a rom i'm a bit nervous. does anyone mind giving me a hand in taking the update then regaining root/s-off?

Anyone know if this breaks root?
Also, does anyone know if this breaks the custom hotspot app that bypasses the provisioning check?

Tried to update using kdz method however stall at 6% for hours . i finally just returnedto stock using same method with no issues. Ill wait forawbile longer to see better reports on successfully kdz install.
Got the vzw g3 on release day and went ahead and blocked all updates. It's rooted with the hotspot apk swapped out for one that bypasses the provisioning check and also have adaway installed. It has been a great phone for the past 10 months but has recently gotten a bit buggy and want to update it to a newer firmware. I am currently still on 10B. Id like to poll you guys and see what you think will be the most stable/smooth firmware that will still allow root and hotspot. I dont currently have custom recovery on the phone but updates that break the ability could sway me one way or the other. Another option could be to backup and reflash 10B but im assuming over 10 months there have been improvements made to get rid of bugs from the initial release.
Thanks
Either stock LG Lollipop 23B, or JasmineROM or SkyDragon. Lollipop is so smooth on the G3. The hotspot mod has been updated for this release.

Hi
I am using verizon lg g3 vs98510b rooted running kitkat, wanted to update to official lollipop i have tried to update through ota but might be in my region ota is not available i live in pak whenever i press system update button in setting nothing happens
Can anyone tell me how to update my device to official lollipop. Kindly let me know the procedure step by step in an easy way as i am not an advanced user.
Hi!
Update your custom recovery to TWRP v2.8.7.0, or use TWRP Manager to flash that on your phone if you don't have a custom recovery yet. Then flash one of the stock-based ROMs: @xdabbeb 's VS985 ROM 2.0, @hsbadr 's JasmineROM 9.0+9.1 update, or @HolyAngel 's SkyDragon v6.x, all in the Development section.
Although you used to be able to take OTAs while rooted as long as you had the stock recovery, the OTA from 12B (KitKat) to 23C (Lollipop) took that away and in fact you can no longer even take OTAs at all if you're rooted.
