If the update is v8, and you have v7 installed, i've heard good and bad to if it works. If its the rumored v9, don't install yet.

FYI to anyone else. You can't install ANY otas if you've unlocked. You must relock before flashing an OTA.

Out of curiosity, what would happen if someone tried to update while unlocked?

At which point you have to use LGNPST to restore back.

Yep its a good thing we have that utility
My keyboard it's acting retarded. It is slow to load and locks up and puts the text at the top instead of after the word I just typed. I am using Swype. This has been going on since I got the phone.
Anyways, I am getting to the point. I rebooted my phone and it said "your update is complete" after the boot animation. I was on version 8 and I still am. I wonder what updated. I can't see an app doing that.

Hey, just got my G today. I rooted using the GAIO tool, and havent learned the terminology for this phone yet. I have also unlocked the bootloader. now for the different updates in on 4.0.4, and there is a option to upgrade to (and I quote) "production-zv7_to_zv8_EMR1_inc" saying it will ensure my device is working at optimal performance. I have nothing but some text messages I could live with losing on it right now. So would I be able to update this with root, as long as I lock the bootloader? and can I have the link to a tool if there is one? I am trying to get a feel for this phone, then I will use what I learned from my Evo 4G to get a couple of decent roms going for people to try (Note: im not an android n00b, just dont want to brick my phone and get yelled at by parents). Also is the "V9" update supposed to be jellybean? Because I think I was mistaken that it was already out. if somebody can help me get the latest version and understand my current tools to use for my phone, it would greatly help me. A system dump would too.
EDIT: keyboard was acting up, so I updated it, and now stuck in CWM, which sucks. I am now installing LGNPST 1.3, and will try to figure out how to use it. I am also downloading the rooted factory images, and will try to convert those to .zip to flash in CWM. any help I would love!
TWRP is the the recovery that works best for the OG.

Just got my nexus. First thing I did was root and unlock. Then it said there was a update available, but would not install it. Took me straight to cam recovery . Someone please help. I believe I'm supposed to be updating to 4.0.4
*edit. Maybe I'm wrong. Is 4.0.2 the latest version with out romming. Sorry new to the nexus just left a dx2

If you did anything more than unlocking the bootloader and rooting you can't update with ota anymore.
OK. I thought that might b the problem. Do u know where I can get a link to the latest update?
Thanx

Yes, there is a 4.0.4 update. If you want it, then un-root, grab the OTA, and re-root.
Sorry if this has been asked b4. First day in this thread. Should I completely unroot or can I use the app that temporarily unroots
*found the thread with the download. I can just flash threw cwm
Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using xda app-developers app
I have never tried the temp un-root, so I do not know anything about it.
If I had to guess, I would say that it does not matter which way you do it.
Someone with more Android knowledge than me will come along and let you know which would be better.
Yeah, you basically have 2 choices, unroot and go back to stock recovery, then wait for the OTA, or flash the 4.0.4 (or even 4.1) update yourself
Thanx. I just flashed the 4.0.4. But had to reroot. Everything seems to working great. Imma give it a lil b4 I jump on a 4.1 rom

That is not completely true. You can basically go ahead and flash as well (e.g. Jelly Bean) without breaking OTA.
As long as the files you are flashing are all stock (Android Build, Kernel, Radio & RIL, Bootloader), not de-odexed, and you do not permanently install an alternative Recovery (like CWM) and moreover take care that your busybox version is not known for interfering with OTA in some cases (like the Stericson one), you will be able to do a lot more than just unlocking and rooting and the OTA is supposed to still work if everything is done right. :thumbup:

Unlocked and have recovery...just flash the 4.0.4 radios and a 4.0.4/4.1 ROM. You are done with OTA. Manually flash updates or restore to stock.
right i have my gnex GSM unlocked with CWM rooted, on JB 4.1, im not getting the OTA reliese,
I've tried looking on how to update to stock 4.1.1 but i have no idea on what im doing now lol
Should i just wait longer for the OTA or flash it,
if i have to flash it how do i do it coz i keep getting errors.
Im on build JRN84D

Since you have CWM installed, you won't be able to auto-install off an OTA anyways. You have to flash it manually.

Read all stickies in development and return to bone stock and wait for your precious ota or just stay where you are at and wait for another rom to flash.
good day.
A couple of weeks ago, I went on Sammobile and installed a leaked OTA that I thought didnt carry any problems with until now. I Installed the UVLI1 verson. Now yesterday, I just found out that I will not be able to get any OTAs from T-Mobile since my modem number is changed. So I tried to Install the UVALH2 update so I can get back on the offical modem but its not letting me install it! Im 100% stock. No root or anything. I need help please.

Thanks guys... It may have taken 2 hours but I finally Rooted my phone for the first time... Flashed the previous update and now im just waiting for it to start so i can unroot my phone... I like knowing that I have a warranty on it
One more noob question.... How do you know if your phone is unrooted? I Flashed the previous update and cleared my cashe and wiped my data and now my device status is normal. does that mean that im not rooted anymore?
Glad you're learning some of the basics but you should definitely read before you start going to sammobile and installing leaks. You should be glad that your phone isn't bricked.

Learning is what happens when you do something that you don't have the knowledge to do. If I said I knew what I was doing before I started flashing, I would be a liar. That being said, a smart person learns from other people's mistakes. Read a lot.
It's simple. Basically, never flash anything that isn't made for the SGH-T999. And if using Odin, always use PDA.
Since you are rooted, get Terminal Emulator from the Play Store. Run it, and type: su <enter> reboot nvbackup <enter>. This will backup your IMEI data, so it can be restored should it ever become corrupted. You will only need to do this one time.
Follow these instructions, and it's pretty much impossible to hard brick.
You want to check root status? Why do you need another app from the Play Store? Just open Superuser/SuperSU. It will tell you if the binaries are present/updated. Though, the presence of a su app is generally indicative that you have root access.
It says it was released on December 22. It doesn't appear to have been pushed to devices yet.
I am at work so I can't check. Here is the link:
http://www.mylgphones.com/sprint-lg-optimus-g-lg-ls970-firmware-update-ls970zv9.html
It was mentioned last week that the source for the release is it already. If you missed it here is that link.

Now I'm scared to update. LOL Na I'll wait for a Jellybean Upgrade.
Has any one tried to install the zip from LG just using recovery yet? Or is it not setup like that. They say you have to use the tool and your PC, but I assume thats for all the "regular" users that don't play mind games with their phones lol.
I would try it right now but I'm at work and need my phone tonight after work so can't risk bricking it tonight lol.

hopefully some body makes a flashable version for modded recoveries.

So I just started getting the notification for the verizon One update. It's obviously not 4.3, but I wouldn't mind installing it to see if anything has changed. The problem is that I'm rooted and have CWM installed. Every time it goes into recovery to flash the update, it fails to install and then just reboots. I'm used to dealing with nexus devices, so is there any way for me to flash back to the stock rom and get the OG recovery back?
