So how do us "flashers" get the update since they are no longer considered spring boards?

Someone with a stock Springboard has to catch the OTA update URL in order to let us analyze what's in the zip. Depending on which files are full images and which are patch files, that will determine what needs to be done in order to flash a Springboard from the MediaPad ICS firmware.
If it's like other OTA zips for this unit, it will contain a full set of radio files but some of the system files might be present as patches. If someone can post the URL to that zip I will try flashing just the radio part to see if that stabilizes the radio on my tab.
If we're lucky, the ICS upgrade will be such a radical overhaul that it will include full images of everything we need in the zip.
Hey guess...brand new springboard owner here!!! mines is as stock as it can be....what can i do to help?

Hey Everyone!
Although delayed for further testing, ICS is still in the works to be released for the SpringBoard. A release date is not available at this time; any updates will be posted in the support comunity.

Hey guys, I recently won a T-Mobile SpringBoard, and I quiet like it. When I got the device I went to System - About Tablet - System Updates (Google), and it said there was an update. So I made it download the update and install it. But it was just a newer version of Honeycomb. For a little over a week now I've been trying to get the Ice Cream Sandwich update but the thing just says the tablet is up to date.
Is T-mobile doing a slow roll out of the update or something? I'm not a T-mobile customer, but I don't think that matters since it did do one over the air update already.
Any clue what's the deal?
Thanks!

Are you sure it's for an upgrade to ICS?
Download alogcat and filter for the text: http://
It should show up somewhere in the log once you have received the update notification. Please post a screenshot of the notification too.
Just for comparison this is the URL of the update from "older Honeycomb" to "newer Honeycomb":
http://android.clients.google.com/packages/ota/huawei_springboard_mediapad/009e6fd7c5ce.update.zip
I would assume this URL would take a similar form.
springboard ota link
android.clients.google.com/packages/ota/huawei_springboard_mediapad/60e76c721562.update.zip

so downloaded zip how do I install it?
yeah I got the same problem, downloaded file but no idea how to open it
- on your external Storage create a folder 'dload' put the downloaded file in this folder and rename the file to 'update.zip'
- power off (completely!) your device, press 'Vol+', hold it, and press power
- hold 'Vol+' until the green Android appears. It should start updating

New to the springboard and glad to have come across a site that has some information on it. I have been waiting for the update for a couple days now, I also downloaded the update zip that was posted a few posts up. When you say "external" storage, are you referring to an SD card? And I am assuming this can be done on a factory springboard? I would rather do this than wait for the OTA to hit my device. Thanks for your help, this is an awesome forum.
Rogers (Canada) has just posted on their own discussion board that KK update will be available next Tuesday (March 25).
As far as I know, it's the first time the D803 is updated.
Now, we just need to figure out how to root this one!

I for one am shocked that it actually will be delivered, as they said, before the end of March. But after lurking these forums it makes me wonder if a few of these bugs will be patched up before Rogers and LG Canada send out the release. Will it be an OTA? or how T-mobile did it with the LG Mobile support tool?
IF its an OTA, I'm keeping my fingers crossed that all goes well and I will not lose root. Are there any multi variant root methods out as of yet?
Finally

Here's the link sir RIGHT HERE
finally its coming been waiting forever.....lets hope we can keep root somehow
I guess lg is getting better at updates, this is a step in the right direction.
Quick question: I'm using a D803 which I purchased unlocked and it's working fine on Telus. Just had to enter the APN manually. There is no Rogers bloatware. Not rooted. What's my best course of action to upgrade to Kit Kat (other than rooting, which I've done on several other phones but not ready to do it on this one yet)?

What do you mean root this one? There's no root for any g2 kit Kat. There's kdz way to keep root and that's we'll all get. Some have reported keeping root with Ota but I suspect new bootloader still gets updated this way, so if you ever loose root, bye bye. Don't keep your hopes up that new bootloader will be hacked somehow, if you proceed with full update without preserving old booloader (no going back after), so be smart and prepare ahead.
We have to submit our kernel for patching asap, so we can use custom recovery with old bootloader.

Hey all. Just got my K7 and I am already looking and searching for the LG/Boost Marshmallow Update. I know that its out there. I have seen it posted. Does anyone know where I can get the actual update apk? Without having to go through surveys and other malarkey to even download the file?
*Note*
I am not looking to root and ROM at the moment. I haven't even had the phone a week yet and don't want to void the warranty yet just in case I have to return it for some reason.
Thanks.
Unless someone with experience that has a phone with it posts it here, I wouldn't try to find it by other means. There's slow progress on CyanogenMod build so that might be the only way currently if it ever gets finished.
Hmm. Found this Nougat Update link. Wonder if its legit....

DO NOT FLASH THAT. Those are fake. We all want the update, but we all are waiting for any ROM. No one has made one yet, and LG probably won't make an update. We are waiting for a rom.
I just don't understand why LG is updating older phones than the K7 but not the K7.

LG doesn't distribute the update fully. Its up to your carrier to decide to release it, which is probably why older phones are getting it due to popularity with that carrier.
I've had a change of heart. Here is the deal Im going to make to all of you! If you have nothing nice to say then don't say it. If you are going to quote me and criticize me like one of the most recent posts then please go away. I'm purely posting so you guys know something is being done.I don't need anyones trust because it is fact that if you don't believe that i'm dong this then yes that is your problem. Anyways just don't comment if you have nothing to say then please don't say it. I have went through a lot and a lot of hours trying to figure out something while you guys just wait.... Anyways our dev is back to help and somebody is helping out with it. We are going to get it to work this time. Last few things have been a bust.

This will be on 25A and if it works we will have root and twrp
I will test.
I could possibly test as well VS990 here
I am willing to test the root.
I would like to test it but I am a H961N user, is it possible to run it on other variants of V10?

Hey Everyone,
If you are reading this thread you care about the LG v10 getting rooted on android 6.0 Marshmallow! Great, so here is what's happening behind the scenes at the moment. Right now there are two different possible ways our phone is going to get root, there are two different people working on a general root. The one is going through a tough time and is taking some time to himself, which is okay, somebody's life is more important than a root method. The second guy just had a post to xda about him rooting the LG k10, now there is no guarantee this will work on our V10 buuuuuttttttt, this is very similar to what our first guy is working on so a few modifications and we could get something up and running, whichever comes first. We've been waiting a long time and I understand that. I know it can be discouraging and frustrating. You will have a weekly update from me on what is going on with the status and if something fails and we give up in any sort, you will know about it. I promise we are trying to find a way! You guys have any comments or questions I will be posting another thread with the link below. I will gladly respond to any questions or information you have for me! It can be a simple question or in depth, I can help you out and save you time! You may post on this thread buy let's keep it cleaned up because this is where I will post updates and the root method once it's finished! Don't get discouraged, we will find a way!\
Sincerely,
@abine45 and @alvinator94
UPDATE 2/19 :
Hey everyone,
I got some good news! Today, we are working on packaging up the root, this is not tested, so no guarantees that this will work, but it should! I am not going to give details right now about how we are trying to obtain this until It's tested. I might have a select few test along with us after our test just to be extra positive it works. With this, though I have more news, if this does work, we could very possibly obtain twrp!!!! That's our next step after root. It would most likely be released together! That is all for today!! PLEASE COMMENT BELOW IF YOU ARE WILLING TO TEST!!!!

I made this post because I wanted to see if there was any RS988 developer news, ROMS, Kernal, anything
It looks like the RS988 will get Android 8 Oreo... But it looks like it will take a while as with the Nougat update
I got the exact same e-mail. Hopefully we do get Android 8 Oreo.

On paranoid Android and so far it's stable. But video recording seems iffy. Haven't been able to get a video to save. But I'll be trying different camera apps
Just bought this phone. Gonna see what I can do with it in the next few weeks. I see we need a better TWRP port, I'll try and work on that in the next few days.

Would quick charge be working or is it still locked to 350ma? Just checked the official thread and the bug is coming from lineage os and seems to be a kernel issue.

Hey,
Just bought a G5 RS988 and am struggling to find a good guide for bootloader unlock. I know that's not quite what this thread is about, but I'm sure many others will look for it here. Anyone able to give me a link? Or, if you'd rather, pm me and I'll delete this post if you feel it doesn't fit.
Thanks!
Edit:
Nevermind. Found a generic one here that worked: http://developer.lge.com/resource/mobile/RetrieveBootloader.dev?categoryId=CTULRS0702
Where are you getting TWRP from? All I can find is this as it's not on the TWRP site: https://build.nethunter.com/test-builds/twrp/lge/twrp-3.0.2-1-rs988.img
Also, is this a good thread to use for rooting? https://forum.xda-developers.com/lg-g5/how-to/root-rooting-rs988-t3580660
I'm struggling to find promising answers to any of my searches, and there certainly isn't a thread that contains a valid list of all these useful tidbits.

The links you have will work ok... There is no official TWRP yet that I am aware of just as there are no official ROMs (that I know of) there are however unofficial Lineage and Paranoid Android ROMs, and unofficial TWRP
There is a tool from LG that will preform bootloader unlock
I hope this helps
