I have a LG G3 VS985. At first I wanted to just enable the wifi hotspot feature. Now I am starting to see apps that won't work with with my Android 6 Marshmallow. Is it possible for a novice to upgrade the OS version? If so, could you point me to the post/instructions?
I take it the phone is so old no one does anything with these anymore?

Hey guys. So as many of you know, 6.0 (M) is going to be released within the next month. I was doing a little research and found that Sprint is testing a new software version. The new build number is different than what the stock version has. Stock version is running 5.0.1/LRX21Y/LS990ZVA. The new build number is now LS990ZVB. This could be two different things. It's either Stagefright fixes (which we still need for the stock firmware) or Android 6.0/M/Marshmallow (whatever you call it, I will refer to it as M). M is supposed to bring many new features including: Doze (better battery saving), Dark UI (Might have been taken out), and the home screen on Nexus devices can be rotated. If you want to check the UAP (User Agent Profile), go here: http://device.sprintpcs.com/LG/LS990-SPRINT/latest it might change before the actual release happens. I will also have a thread on how to root ZVA. It is simple but with the LS990 it doesn't always work with the script that was actually made.
Hoping it's m, because I did read somewhere that lg was skipping 5.1 and going straight to 6

I read that too. I'm hoping so too.
If it follows all the other updates, it won't actually push until it turns to ZVC.
rofl LS990ZVB 100% will not be Marshmallow.
I wouldn't expect that possibility until early next year.
lollipop LS990ZVB source code is now out.
And it's the stagefright fix.

If you have updated to ZVB go here for root: http://forum.xda-developers.com/spr...k-root-zva-t3141390/post61496772#post61496772 use the manual commands to root.
Stagefright
Its just the stagefrigjt patch i think
ZVC now.

Every time we root this sucker we get a new update! This is so much fun and very exciting!
P.S. I'm guessing that it is a fix for stagefright 2.0. http://www.androidcentral.com/what-you-need-know-about-stagefright-20
Hi, first android device in a very long time. Doesnt seem to be any conversation about this newly released device. Would any of the roms/mods/etc for the LG G Pad 8.0 also work for this device? Any help would be appreciated. I made a request for a device subforum but im a little unsure how else to go about getting the ball rolling.
I just got it too. I honestly don't even care about rooting. I just want stock Android. My Nexus has me spoiled.
On your side.. already unlocked bootloader and got the 128gb microsd from SanDisk for this beauty!

There's another thread which seems to be the main thread to discuss unlocking the bootloader, adoptable storage, and hopefully eventually custom recovery and root.

A little late, but maybe, still useful.
The situation is similar with G5 (some fastboot commands are missing). However, .tot method will do the trick.
That's when we get a .kdz file. Most likely when Nougat comes out. But if we can get the .hex and .bin to revive the phone....
I have the AT&T version seems very similar except mine has 32gb of storage not 16gb. Pretty sweet so far for getting it free.
The current software, V52110b, is vulnerable to all four of the vulnerabilities recently disclosed and nicknamed "QuadRooter." If someone reverse engineers the patch, it should show how to exploit the vulnerability for root.

Hello,
I have a LG K8 with android 6.0.1 (Verizon prepaid) and a RCA Voyager III with android 7.1.2 that I want to update to newer android versions since there are no more factory updates. If the tablet screws up I don't really care, but I need to be able to use my activated phone. Is there a way to manually update the android version without messing them up?
Thanks

Hello,
You can Follow the LG K8 Developments Page on this forum https://forum.xda-developers.com/lg-k8/development
Although there are no Custom ROMs listed on the development page, you can search the Internet for the same. The page had MIUI ROM for the devices, but the link was removed due to Thread Owner posting PPC links. :crying:
Hi,
I would like to connect my V30+ to a hearing aid. The current android version of my phone is 9 and therefore seems that my only option of reaching this goal is by an unofficial android 10 ROM.
Is there a ROM offering this goal?
Hello Folks,
i just bought a used H850 to switch my data from my old G5 with broken display.
The broken ones already has the oreo update, if i remember correctly i did that with the phones build in update function without any problem.
before i can transfare as much data as possible to the new G5 i have to make sure its running the same android version but when i search for updates now the phone shows that its already on the newest version (with Android 7)
Same when i use the LG Brigde software for PC.
Does LG remove the update? Is there a way to install that last official update on any other way? or to 1:1 clone the data from my broken display G5? in the past i did that by just switching the motherboard but im not sure if the old motherboard has some other disfunktions.
My Banking App also refuses any kind of rooted phones so Lineage OS is bad :-(
Thanks for help in advance

As LG stopped supplying the unlock.bin for the bootloader it's most likely they stopped phone support at all. (I'm never gonna buy anything from LG again)
I've kept a "H85030f_00_OPEN_EU_OP_1122.kdz" on my NAS.
Afaik it should be flashable with LG Up but Idk exactly as mine is on a custom ROM.
