Hello there !
New to XDA (been reading threads over 2 years though), I got my unbranded LG G3 (D855) about 2 months ago with firmware 10A.
I received OTA 10E at the end of July but did not apply it immediately as I'm rooted and have to use PC Suite to update.
However, i updated on 12th August and right after the instalation, the phone gave me a new OTA : 10G, released on 27th July...
So I'd like to know if it's possible to skip an update or if I have to take all of them every time ? Seems pretty strange though...
I read that 10G was not a top update so I'll pass on this one, but will I eventually get 10H or 10J without being on 10G ?
Thanks !
You can jump around as you wish. Back and forward, oldest to newest, makes no difference.
When you flash a firmware, the /system partition (as well as modems etc) is wiped by the flashing process, so updates are not cumulative.
Yeah i know that i can flash kdz directly, what i wanted to know was if OTA updates showed up only once you are on the version just before the new one ? Because i can do the official via pc suite without any issue, just having to root again, no big deal !
But also, wiping everything is not an obligation, right ? If you don't use CSE flash...

Hey guys.
I am thinking about installing ICS leak but what if official ICS release afterward?
The OS will be exactly same so I do not need to do anything?
or I still need to upgrade or something to be an official version?
if so, there is no problem while upgrading? (leak -> official) no crash?
Thank you!
In my opinion, it could be a problem. I seriously doubt the official release will use an exe file to update the phone, like the leak used. Therefore, the official updating process through OTA or the LG Support Tool might not work.
Of course people will say you just have to unbrick it to the stock V10f ROM. Problem is, when I did that, the OTA update process nor the LG Support Tool would update my phone. Something broke it. I even unrooted it, but no dice. I kept getting a notice for an OTA update, but the install would always fail at 2%. When I used the support tool that I got straight from the LG website, it kept telling me my phone was up to date.
Fortunately I was still in my 30 day trial and I was having hardware issues with it (normal temps of 110°F and basically no battery life). I only installed the leak in the hopes that it would fix it, but it didn't. Even going back to V10f didn't help. My new phone runs great, so I'm waiting for the official ROM.
You guys know any plan for the official?
The official for Korean Nitro was already released in this month.
I went back to stock out of the box lg kitkat rom from cloudy rom by flashing KDZ.In my update app there is no ota software update showing,it is only showing as usual Lg app updates.I flashed the KDZ numerous times but not any outcome..Is my ota blocked due to flashing recovery or rooting?Do they do that?Did they block my imei?
Sometimes it takes awhile (may be upwards of two weeks or longer) before an OTA update shows up as available after flashing back to stock. And it wouldn't be blocked because you previously rooted and installed TWRP. Just make sure you don't do either if you plan on taking the OTA. If you had instead used LG PC Suite to go back to stock, you would have ended up w/ the latest software available for your phone, and wouldn't have to worry about taking an OTA update.

Really thanks for giving the info...
I have an unlocked, not rooted H815T. I connected the phone to LG Bridge it shows me there is an update (H815T10E) approximately 1.65 GB (Marshmallow?). After I start the update it goes through all the steps normally, even the phone restarts and installs a new firmware and it says Update Complete.
When it finishes the update and restarts nothing changes, i still have Android 5.1 and software version V10e-HKG-XX which i got OTA. When i reconnect to LG Bridge it still shows Update Available (H815T10E).
I have tried a couple of times and does the same thing.
Is this the Marshmallow update? What should i do?
same here
It's quite frustrating, I don't know what to do about it
I will try too and see how i go

That's becos what your flashing is a LP rom. H815T10E is LP not MM.

The issue I'm having is that every time I update successfully when I reconnect to LG Bridge it tells me there's a new update
I'm getting this too on a Mac . I've tried three times now which take 50 minutes as it seems to download the file everytime. Any update on this? Are others getting the error on windows or mac?
Still wiating for a reply, I'm on Windows 10
same issues here too
H815T10E is Lolliop 5.1 update, its not Marshmallow updates, so everything is fine with your phone, Marshmallow starts with H815T20A, after flashing H815T10E if its showing another update, do it as well, there is no wrong in it, there will be no Marshmallow update for H815T for months, this is LG and there millions of ignored variants, to make us feel better, Marshmallow may not get any major UI changes any ways, for us to wait for it i guess.
A little off topic, how you unlock H815T? I have a same model and want to unlock
I had not seen stupid things like this since the time of OK the price is right
I got the same issue both in Windows 7 and Windows 10.
Have any of you been able to root v10e on the H815T? I only found the root for v10b...
Have the same problem, keeps showing the same 1.6Gb update over and over. The HK update was released for some it seems though.
i have the exact same problem is there any way to fix this??
well is no one have any answers??
I just got OTA v20c-HKG-xx. Roughly an 800 mb update
Update vire lgup
This is how to get 6.0.0 on lg g4 h815t. I have done it just download lgup then download lg g4 h815 kdz and follow the gide povided on the forum and you can't go wrong.
I have a D852G model and the new OTA has just been made available by Videotron :good:
Only thing is, my phone is on Android 5.0.1 (version 20b) and the OTA won't install. I tried using LG PC suite to unroot ("Repair") but it refuses to do it because there is not enough space. There is still ample space on the device (about 15 Gb).
I tried getting a fresh version of the PC suite, and the release notes include a note indicating it cannot detect remaining space for android 5 and over. At that point, I am still stuck, since the SuperSU "remove root" does not work either.
Is there any other way to upgrade WITHOUT losing everything on my phone?
firstly - its not marshmallow
secondly - no its not possible without flash
as i can see its v21c - still lollipop

Since the update is 1200 Mb sized, I assumed M had already started shipping
Well, I'll postpone the backup-restore operation for a few weeks until 6.0 is official. Too much work for a point release.
Guys i have a german lgh815 unbranded device and i received the standart android 6.0 v20a update for german devices 2 months ago and last week i decided to go back to lollipop and after going back i didnt get the message to update the phone to 6.0 again over lg brigde. Did i sth wrong? and since the downgrade over lg up i have a a data which cannot be opened on the computer on my phone called inmedia_db_complete (0bytes) does sb know what this is and can i delete it safely i hard resettet phone 2 times after downgrade too...
am i now stuck on v10d ???
If you want to go to 6.0 just use LGUP. My phone should be running 10D according to OTA but it is infact 20D. My point is f*ck OTA because it just does't do it's job.
