OTA Rolling Out?

I looked at my brother's phone, the R800AT, and it had the update notification. I clicked it thinking ICS was here for him, and it checked for about ten minutes and said there is no update. Did anyone else get a notification?

Alright, I was just wondering since the notification popped up.

There WILL be. Just not for those with unlocked boot loaders and R800a/at/x users. R800i users must lock the boot loader again before updating.

I think sony specifically said updates will be through pc companion only.

My guess is that they're going to change the partition layout substantially and they can't do that OTA.

That might not have been ICS, possible 2.3.4. I think?

I am pretty sure the r800at still doesn't have 2.3.4 sadly.

The notification came up again, and did the same thing. I'm really wondering what this is.

V9 Sprint OTA

Our devs are great love them all, but just letting everyone know if you're still stock like me i got the OTA this morning. I'm probably going to try rooting and unlocking later so we'll find out if it's still possible after updating.

If u plan to root, i would not do the ota. It's currently unrootable at the moment. If u did run the ota, you'd have to lgnpst back if u want root.

CA stands for California and I did a little research and this is what I found.
"According to an article in the business section of my newspaper, written by Dana Hull of mercurynews.com, the California Energy Commission on Thursday will consider adopting the nation's first energy-efficiency standards for battery chargers. The Commission staff says that these new regulations could (eventually) save the state as much as 2,200 GWh per year. The new regulations will cover every form of battery charger, from cell-phone chargers to industrial-sized chargers and would go into effect by January 2013. "
EDIT: Also with the 2nd LCD thing, I have no idea what that means but I googled it and found this. Seems to be people talking about enabling the 2nd LCD, like I said I have no idea. BUT I did read a few updates for other phones that enabled the 2nd LCD is getting them ready for Jelly Bean.

Just received mine! Quick and painless

Ugh, no good in Washington DC on three different OG's. I am curious to see how many bugs this actually corrects. I've read it corrects the text message to beginning bug. I hope it fixes Outlook issues and Bluetooth stability.

I checked the sources a few days ago, and zv9 does differ from zv8. I am not a kernel dev, so I'm not sure really how or how much, but I'm sure we can get someone who knows more to take a look at it.
Sent from my LG-E970 using xda app-developers app

I can confirm that stock v9 is unrootable meaning if you think you might want to unlock your bootloader and use custom roms its best to do so from v8. If you already upgraded to stock v9 and want to root and unlock you can use lgnpst to downgrade. This is what i did, the instructions for lgnpst are in the dev section. Theres a stock rooted v9 rom up right now so thats the way to go, plus you can get rid of bloatware.

To get the OTA System Settings -> System Updates ->Update LG Software.
I rooted ZV8 but left the bootloader locked, enabled supersu survival mode then ran the OTA. I was able to keep root.
I pulled the OTA Zip it has a boot.img and radio.img in it. The kernel and radio version appear to be the same though.

Post the boot.img from V9 please
Sent from my LG-LS970 using xda app-developers app

Probably just wait for a flashable zip since i have a unlocked bootloader and rooted. It is better then flashing the zv9 stock rom and loosing all my apps messages and settings plus pictures... Don't have the time to really do a one and done backup but for now I can wait for a flashable zip

[Q] Likelihood that 4.3 update blocks Rumrunner?

I don't think beaups mentioned it, or at least he said he wasn't concerned about releasing it which lead to his quick release.
Personally curious as to how sense on 4.3 will be. But wouldn't want the update if its blocked unlocking.

why take the OTA? if you have s-off why not just flash a 4.3 rom?

This my friend only matters for those that bought a phone after 4.3 is released... First... Soff and unlocked and rooted should NEVER take an ota, cause it could (prob just fail) brick you... Second, if you like stock, I'm sure it will be only a matter of hours before someone releases a flashable HTC stock ROM that will update you... Really, as long as you put cwm recovery on your phone, and only flash Roms thought it, you have nothing to worry about whatsoever...

[Q] Root for 4.3?

I'm getting some conflicting information and just wanted to get it straight.
I've been told by someone whom I think is reputable that it is possible to gain root after taking the 4.3 update.
I know from the Rumrunner S-off thread that S-off is not achievable yet but that doesn't necessarily mean rooting is impossible.
Can someone set me straight here? Is it possible to root 4.3 but still be S-on?
Thanks.

When the phone first came out you could unlock the bootloader at htcdev, but that lasted 1 day. I'm unaware of any ways to root without rumrunner.
Sent from my HTC6500LVW using XDA Premium 4 mobile app

Thanks.
I was under the impression one could root provided the phone was still running 4.2. In that case rumrunner would work. However I didn't think there was any way to root 4.3. Not go s-off, just root.

Yea, I had this phone s-off but I returned to stock to have the camera repaired so I got stuck on 4.3. I had a Verizon replacement but decided to keep this phone since it was perfect after the camera repair...glad I did! Can't wait to get s-off again.

Hopefully it won't require anything like the "wire trick" on the Rezound Don't really want to go through that again. Still, really looking forward to ridding myself of all the bloat.

Firewater will be posted when it's done. I believe it will root 4.3. I had a one on 4.3 never used it but for a day and realized the reception was horrible and so I called Verizon and complained and they sent me this one that is 4.2 now which I rooted.

No there isn't one. Maybe you should wait for someone that really needs to unlock. It would suck bad to lose root over that. I've seen people lose root doing stuff like that before is why I don't advise it.

Yeah thats a good idea. I know there are members here with a stock s on phone with 4.3 so I should wait. I always ruu back to stock and root again after messing with my phone a lot, like changing cid to run a Google edition ruu, stuff like that. Done it twice on 4.2 with no issues.

Someone confirmed it works for 4.3 so root away.

I'm already rooted but might as well ruu to stock, get ota and then get firewater and might as well do it for fun.

So I ran firewater temp root, and it said everything was good to go.
However, I do not seem to have root access -- I tried Root Checker app and TWRP Manager.
Am I missing a step here? I'm running 4.3 OTA.
Thanks.

Flash a custom recovery and then a Rom of your choice. Twrp should mention if you have root or not.

4.4.3 Update on the way

I know there are numerous members including myself, that have updated to KK 4.4.2, and just experienced nothing but crap, in comparison to 4.3, which we cannot go back to. But, luckily there is a Galaxy Note 3/Galaxy S4/Nexus 5 god somewhere. They have heard our complaints about the srewed-up update released, and are currently working on the fix, which will be named 4.4.3. This update will fix numerous issues, involving the most talked about, camera and data drops......ps. connection drops, etc. I've read they are currently testing the update, so in other words, they jumped right on it. I hqve been suffering from the 4.4.2 sickness every since the update, wishing I could, or someone find a way to go back to 4.3. I just recently updated my Galaxy S 4, not aware of the troubles, but didnt run full testing method to ensure that I respected the update. I just immediately fell In love with the smoothness and speed, unaware of the crap under the covers. And then I got bold and updated my Beast of Hardware, the Note 3...........and was overwhelmed by the lack of tlc of the update. But threw all the rebooting, the battery pulls, the waiting for sitez to load, the non responsive buttons, they are working to fix this horrible experience. Thanks you Android for wasting time, but at least aorking to fix the problems. Upon release of the fix, I cant wait to see the sweetness the Dev's bring to the table with the new OS fix.

The bootloader is unlocked. Even on 4.4.2. The qfuse won't let you downgrade the bootloader, but it's unlocked. I have the 4.4.2 bootloader with TWRP 2.7.0.0 and running leanKernel, so obviously it's not locked.

Back when 4.4.2 was released a member here that works for Samsung said when it would be released and it was released on the exact day he said it was. He also said another update was already in the works for May so it is no surprise that another should be hitting before long.
