[Q] New Software Update for T-Mobile LG G3 D85110m - G3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I can't for the life of me find any sort of documentation for this update, Nothing is listed on T-Mobile's website and I cant find any immediate changes in the UI. The only info I can find about the tmo G3 is that it should be at D85110c. Anyone else get this D85110m update?

I just installed this update but can't find anything about it either.

Here's a screenshot of the build number and the baseband, in case that changed too.

someone help please. I accidentally clicked update even though I was rooted. Now when I try to enter download mode, it goes straight to TWRP and when I turn off my phone and then press the volume up button as it's turning off, it shows a screen saying firmware update but the percentage bar doesn't move. HELP

Did this update lock me in custom recovery?
Late yesterday (20140909) I got a status bar notification that a T-Mobile Software Update had been downloaded, and that I should click on it to update. I left it alone for some hours but then, used to a couple of years of easy Cyanogenmod updates (I'm rooted stock on this phone), I went ahead and clicked on the update. It threw me into TRWP and just sat there. I went looking for the download, to update manually from there, and couldn't find it. Now I can't get the phone to boot to system, just the recovery. After a few attempts, I tried restoring a five week old backup, but it still dumps me in recovery. Can't seem to get out of it. I can't even verify that this is the same update you guys are talking about (can't get to settings), although the timing is right. What can I do from here?

I've gotten what appears to be this update but I am rooted and TWRP so I know I cant select it to install like a few other users have done. Is there anyway to remove this update from the notification bar or maybe download it and apply through TWRP... I thought I turned off the call home feature when I bought the device and rooted a few months ago...

Ive had shortcuts on the lock screen to do this since the first week I had the phone... Im sure there has to be more to this update than this...

Long press on the notification and go into app info and turn off notifications to remove it from your notification bar

Done... Any chance this decide to update on its own without any human intervention?? I dont have time to deal with fixing the phone if it does install and then fails because of TWRP right now...

I'm under the impression that human intervention is necessary for the update to apply itself on the phone. You don't chose yes it shouldn't load.

I think there is a battery life improvement.

You can open the terminal emulator in TWRP and run "dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/block/platform/msm_sdcc.1/by-name/fota". That might help. Helped with the LG G2 all the time.

I'm on Sprint. I think I can speak for everyone with a locked bootloader that we wish we had this problem. Haha. You just need stock recovery installed probably.

try another command

I had the same problem and using these two commands in TWRP terminal emulator should work (as stated above). It will give you a 'no space' error, but that is expected. After that the phone should boot back to normal.
dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/block/platform/msm_sdcc.1/by-name/fota
dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/block/platform/msm_sdcc.1/by-name/misc
Be sure to not make any typos - apparently you can completely mess up your device. It took me quite a while to find out about the misc command - just the fota one didn't do it for me...

I got the OTA yesterday.
I traded in my S4 on the jump program yesterday, (9.16.14), and got an LG G3. When I got home I noticed that an update was downloaded and ready to install and since I had barely got it and it wasn't rooted or anything I decided what the heck. I applied the update and my version is now 110m and like the other guy said there is a "camera slider" on the lockscreen that I don't think was there before. But I have had this phone for less that 24 hours so maybe I'm wrong.

I received the D851 10m OTA today. Some questions.

I apologize, I posted this in the wrong forum. Feel free to delete, I can't figure out how (I can only edit when I press the edit/delete button).

What is the upgrade procedure? Do I need to go so far as to remove root? Any advice appreciated.

Don't update it. More than likely if you have twrp and root it will loop. I did mine this morning and it looped it. I had to factory reset with the lg tool. Just wait it out. The update isn't that serious.
Hey Danon, where did get the LG tool to factory reset? i feel victim to the same damn thing. Need to reset mine now.

First off, this question belongs in the Q&A not development
BUT. Regarding root, you never want to apply an OTA update, you never know if they could patch any rooting exploit and or lock the bootloader. Someone will most likely pull the update from the device and make us a flashable zip that will preserve root.
So for now do nothing at all
I have no intention of installing this update but how do I get rid of the persistent notification? It's annoying me.

Once you get the process down it takes about 7 minutes. I would advise you to do it with Windows 7 if you can.

I know on my S4 i337m when running the Google Play Edition ROM I modified this line in the build prop to the same line from the build prop in that update.
ro.build.fingerprint=samsung/jgedlteue/jgedlte:4.4.4/KTU84P.S001/140602:user/release-keys
I'm assuming it would work on ours too if anyone has their phone updated and can post that (ro.build.fingerprint) line from their build prop.
Is there anyone that maybe posted an update we can flash on our Rooted/Non Stock Recovery phones?

Before entering download mode, make sure you unplug USB cable, remove the battery and put it back in, press and hold the volume button and plug in USB cable, and relax.
This method won't wipe your phone.

How come my cache folder is empty? I'm using es file explorer and i have my settings set to show hidden files. I even ran a search for the update.zip and the lg .apk someone listed and i can't find either off them.
Im using root explorer and went cache and just renamed the file to .bk
---------- Post added at 04:17 AM ---------- Previous post was at 04:16 AM ----------
Do you have the notification for the update
I installed root explorer and found the file but it wouldn't let me rename or delete it. It said it was successful but didn't actually work.

How to Force the OTA?

I feel like a moron because mine hasn't updated automatically from 4.4.4. Any way to force the Lollipop update? I already checked and have the 24 wait period in effect. Thanks!
Happened to me as well. Go into settings, time and date, uncheck the automatic date/time function and move the date 1 day ahead. I would reboot the phone just in case, and check it again.

Weird - just did all that and it still says software is up to date. Any other suggestions?
Called AT&T to see if they could push Lollipop to my device. No dice. Tried the "move ahead one calendar day" trick, but it didn't work. Now it shows that I can't check again for 702 hours. Ha! Any other suggestions? Maybe it just hadn't rolled out to everyone yet. I'm in Chicago, if that matters.
If you don't have an issue wiping your data then you can use the stock Odin file in the general sub to flash it back to stock and update again.
I had my wife's phone updated with a push from AT&T. She had the same issue. They have to file a ti let and tech department did it but took a few days.

Thanks! Yeah, I might just do this.
Also if you factory restore your phone it will go back to the default 24hr wait.
I haven't really messed around with root stuff in a while, but I know even without root we used to be able to download the update, put it in the root or the SD card and rename it update.zip . Does this not work anymore? I really thought there would be a way to force the update somehow..

That would work if someone has captured the zip file or the download URL, which no one has done. Virtually every 5.0.1 related thread has someone asking for this, with the same response. No one has it, and if they did, it would be available in a stickied post.
Oh the woes of waiting for updates lol.
I remember with my OG moto droid waiting for 2.1 lol.
And how 2.2 blew my mind. Now look at it.
i had to flash oem kitkat to my att note 4, which right after the flash immediately got lollipop.
if you do got to the Samsung kiosk have them re-flash kitkat. then the download for lollipop will update after setup.
Force update to marshmallow?
Hi, absolute idiot when it comes to stuff like this.
So, i was searching through my apps list when i noticed AT&T software update.
I dont need any AT&T applications as i am in Australia and do not have AT&T.
i have tried to force an update by following the clearing data and force stopping the Google services frame work.
tried it multiple times, nothing.
Then i thought i could disable the app of the AT&T software update, and then i fell deeper into the rabbit hole of how OSPolice got in trouble and how there is 2 versions of package disabler pro.
So here i am, stuck with 5.1.1 and i have no idea what to do.
No, i am not going to root it. This is an AT&T phone, with a bootlocker on it. If anyone, *ANYONE*, can help me solve this small issue that would be much appreciated.

I've been messing heavily with my new S6 Edge (Rooting, Removing System Apps, etc), and have caused myself some issues. I wanted to restore the Firmware, but Kies would not do it last night. But now, this afternoon, it is allowing it. I'm installing right now and it appears to be going smoothly.
Just a heads up for anyone that was trying before and could not get it to go.
I'll report back if I have any issues.

It doesn't work for me yet. did you enter download mode before connecting to Kies? what version of Kies do you have? mine is 3.2.15041_2
I entered download mode when it asked me to. Also Kies 3.2
I also got that message, but it will go through anyways. At least it did for me. I left that message in the background till it finished.
Initial Update when you Open Box is Included in this method
I just noticed that the update you get when you first turn on your phone is pre-built into this update method. I wonder if that has anything to do with the fact that my phone feels blazing fast now as opposed to when I first got it. And, it's not near as HOT as it was.
Here is my current version for comparison. Not sure if it's the same as that updated file we got when first turned on as I didn't make a note of the version numbers.
Just curious, was the phone staying awake at all times after you rooted it? Mine is, and I noticed today after my second Edge came in that rooting appears to be the cause.

No, but I did find the battery life to be HORRIBLE! Now, with this Firmware Recovery, the battery is lasting longer than it has since I got it. I'm finally really enjoying the phone. When it was new, battery life was very dismal and it got really hot regularly. Now it feels like a normal phone, but FAST.
Yep, my battery life was horrible after rooting as well - I found out and now I'm almost 100% positive that when you root it the system doesn't deep sleep properly. I was able to confirm on a second phone that it does deep sleep at all times up until rooting. Afterwards it just refuses to enter deep sleep.
good to see a restore works, but I don't think I will root until TWRP comes out for this guy.
phone is running just fine now..
My device won't boot even with the 920 root method. And kids says my serial n is no good?
Tell your kids to mind their own business.
Hehe, just kidding.
What serial are you using? It needs to be the one from Settings/About/Status near the bottom of that screen. Try again, making sure you've got model and serial exact. I had it complain on me a couple times. Was a mistype on my part. Not sure if case matters, but maybe try all upper case.

nice work :good:
Hi there,
I finished the process "Software Update and Initialization" via SS but my it looks like my phone has the same settings and apps as before and was not "wiped" or initialised to factory.
Does this mean it actually was not successful or did the process actually automatically restore my backup while I looked away?
The phone definitely seems snappier though ...
Thx

"Compatibility Patch" LG G4

"Compatibility patch" update showed up in my notification area. When I clicked on it, it took me to the LG software update section and said that this file is needed to fix some issues with app compatibility.
After installing the program asks to reboot the phone. Once the notification is clicked on, the phone reboots.
Phone is not rooted. It seemed a little sketchy since there's really no other information anywhere else on the net. It seems a bunch of other people have got this but no real info.
Just wondering if anybody else has got this update.
Thanx.
I didn't get this "comp patch" as an individual update. Last week, I got the update with the security patches from July 1 (German G4, no branding), and it looks like that this patch was included. It now shows in the list of installed LG applications, where it didn't appear before. My wife (LG G3) got this patch as a single install (~1 week ago).
I have got this compatibility patch too, and in description of this app is 20160809 so it is 1 week old. But what was going about in that "fix"... :/
I've got the patch today too. But haven't rebooted yet.
U talking about this one? What is that supposed to do?
I have got this update and now it keep asking to reboot in notification bar. I have done restart many times but no luck.

If you have the encryption on then turn it off and reboot. That should resolve the issue and then you can turn it back on. Hope it works for you.

Hi Akarshad, I've got exactly the same issue. Installed, rebooted multiple times and the notification to reboot is still there telling me to reboot to finalise the install.
Problem with the Patch
I got the same patch on my LG V10. Thinking nothing of it I agreed to install and reboot. Once I had done so, I now have the Yellow Boot Warning at every boot. And also a bunch of my system apps stopped working. Camera, Phone, Music. I don't remember ever flashing a ROM that would trigger the warning seeing as how I got the update to 6.0.1 a few days before and hadn't done anything since. So I flashed back to stock with LGUP and the problems still persist. This is my first post ever, any advice. I apologize as I know this is a LGG4 thread.
If you did anything to the system image, you may have issues applying the OTA. @SixTheAmateur: did you modify in any way your V10? Did you flash a KDZ not officially available to your V10?

I've had massive compatibility issues with my g4 and apps I like to use. I noticed this today and definitely installed it. I have been able to use the apps I hadn't been able to use.
It seems to be going well so far. I'd say do it.
It seems to be frozen/disabled after installing, odd.

Compatibility Patch Mystery to T-Mobile and LG
I got a notice for a compatibility patch several weeks ago.
Rather than click I contacted LG, who knew nothing of it.
So I contacted T-Mobile, my carrier, and they knew nothing of it and suggested I don't down load it.
It popped up again today and I'm going to ignore it until I understand what it will do.
Good Luck!
Similar experience. I had issues with my phone afterward and had to get a new one.

Incoming calls cannot be answered or never make it to my phone.

Rooted Sprint Galaxy S6 on Lollipop 5.1.1 with Teamwin recovery
http://tiribulus.net/pix/Phone/1.png
http://tiribulus.net/pix/Phone/2.png
Sporadically lags a bit everywhere, but I cannot receive incoming calls. I use another phone to test and it rings on the calling phone several times, goes to my voicemail and THEN rings on my phone and of course can't be answered. It just hangs there all greyed out until I hang up and takes like 20 seconds for the phone app to disappear. Other times it doesn't even ring at all on my phone. I can make outgoing calls.
The Sprint support guy took me through re-provisioning the phone with some dial pad codes, he did something to the SIM card too , I've uninstalled Drupe (which has been great) and reinstalled it. Tried both when on and off the phone. No difference
Wiped both the cache partition and the davlik cache.
This started a couple days ago when the phone rebooted ITSELF without my touching it and then booted back up into an error that said "Unfortunately, NetworkSystemProvider has stopped.". Couldn't do anything. Tapping OK made it go away for half a second and it was back. A friend of mine managed to get some Sprint specific thing either disabled or yanked and the error went away. Everything seemed to be fine. I'm not sure when the phone issue started exactly or even if it's related to that situation or not. I just noticed today that someone was calling me and I couldn't answer. (I do most of my communications online and don't get that many phone calls, but the ones I do get are very important)
Oh yeah, I reseated the SIM after an error saying there wasn't one after the Sprint guy sent some info to it and that went away.
i am at total loss here. The Sprint guy of course wants to wipe the phone. That would be a monstrous drag for all the reasons you guys already know for a phone that has been working great for over a year like it is.
Please be my new hero and tell me what to do if anybody knows. I have good PC skills and SOME with Android, but this is beyond me.
Thank you SO much.
It also keeps re-sending me old txts
The Sprint store gave me a new SIM card and that didn't fix it either. Restoring a TWRP full image restore from April didn't fix it. A factory wipe in Teamwin recovery didn't fix it. Same exact symptoms no matter what I do.
Ring ring ring ring ring on the calling phone, it finally rings on mine, but is already in voicemail on the calling phone. Once in a GREAT while it will ring just a bit earlier on mine and it will flutter between being greyed out on the answer screen (all the options like speaker etc) and eventually connect the call after a second or two. Nobody I can find has ever seen anything like this. This S6 was working absolutely flawlessly for well over a year.
It also appears I am not usually getting incoming txt messages either, but I am getting only certain old ones repeatedly. Sometimes old voicemails too. It's almost more like it's a remote server issue somewhere.
I hate to say it, but it sounds like your phone is failing and will need to be replaced. But before you do that, here is a relatively easy thing to try:
Go here http://forum.xda-developers.com/spr...uide-links-files-update-root-restore-t3366862
Using Odin, flash the latest firmware. You are at 5.11, the latest is 6.01. That will restore you to stock OS, take away root and TWRP, but you'll be able to restore those. You shouldn't have any data loss.
Once that is done, go to Settings and System Update and then Update PRL and Profile. See if that solves it. If it does, you can quickly Root and Recovery again.
Good luck!

Thank you.
How do I prepare the phone for the new image if I have Teamwin installed?

TWRP (or Teamwin if you like) won't be an issue. Download Odin on your PC, download the zipped TAR file in the first post of my link. Extract the .MD5 in the zip to the same directory as Odin (you don't really have to, this is just convenient. Install the latest Samsung drivers to your PC, make sure that your computer recognizes the phone. Put the phone into Download mode. (Hold the Volume Down, Home and Power buttons at the same time.) Plug the phone into your computer. If the com light lights up in Odin, you are good to go. Flash the TAR using the AP slot in Odin.
This sounds like a lot, but it is easier to do than for me to tell you. But WAIT! In my linked post, there is a video that will walk you through it all!

How easy is that? The only thing that Tim says that is no longer true is that data won't be wiped by default.
OOPS WROTE THIS BEFORE I SAW YOU REPLIED LEMME LOOK
I'm sorry man. I'm actually a seasoned PC support guy. I know I'm being a pain. I don't have muich experience with these phones though and it's been 14 months since I flashed this one. I don't know what most of that means over there.
I don't have the regular recovery. I have Teamwin. There IS an ADB side load function in there. Is that what I use in place of the regular download mode? If so, won't that leave Teamwion on the phone since that's what I'm using? Sprint won't give me another one while it's on there.
How do I know if Odin is seeing the phone? It doesn't appear to act like it knows my phone is attached to the computer. Does it have to be in download mode that I'm trying to find out how to get into here
Forgive my abject ignorance please.

Here is where I'm lost. Holding the three buttons does not give me an option for download that I can find. It puts me in the Teamwin interface.

Could you be holding the Volume Up button, not the Volume Down button by mistake?
Doesn't matter. If you are in TWRP and you select "Reboot" one of the options should be Download. That will do the same thing for you.
You can also install something like this (if you are rooted) https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.jc.rebootmanager
And one last thing. You need to have your phone in Download mode to be seen by Odin.
Oh goodness me!! I AM A MORON!!
I have been using the volume UP and other two buttons. Not down LOL! For Pete's sake. Aren't I jist a ninny :angel:
Let's try this now

Yes, that's what I was doing
It is restarting now, but didn't actually erase anything. It looks like it just upgraded to Marshmallow. However, I am being barraged with txt messages so maybe it fixed it. I'll let you know. Thank you very much for your patience.
That fixed it!!! The phone works!!! I didn't even lose any of my data or pix or contacts or anything.
Now all I gotta do is get ROOT back and TWRP reinstalled.
Thank YOU sir!! The other fella too. His instructions probably would have worked if I had pressing the right button.

Yep, those are done and now installing adaway. Thanks again very much. I wouldn't blame you for finding it hard to believe after this, but I actually do have substantial computer skills overall, just not with these phones

No worries, I'm not judging.
I am really good with PCs, Windows and Linux. Good with Android. But Apple devices? My daughter had to show me how to use my iPod.

It looks to be all good now. Thanks again very much.
What I don't understand is why a known good TWRP recovery from months ago didn't fix it, but an OS upgrade did. You'd think that both should work or not. Its' the same phone and a full backup from when it worked fine. Oh well. I'm just glad it did work.
X-Posed?
While I have you here. You don't happen to have a guide for installing X-Posed on this phone do you? I have the zip installed from TWRP, but when I go to install the APK from within the OS I get what you see in this screen and the guy who's guide I was following doesn't respond. It occurred to me that koop1955 might know. Thanks. Even if you don't.
