Hi all!
I just got my T-Mobile G3 today. I immediately rooted it using StumpRoot and then proceeded to start ripping out TMobile & LG bloatware.
I saw the OTA update which after some research must be D85110M. It seemed reasonable so I went ahead and hit update, planning to reroot afterwards. I looked back to my computer.
About 5 minutes later, I look down, only to find my phone rebooted. I go to system settings, and notice that my build version is still D85110C, which is what my G3 came with. In addition, the OTA update notification is nowhere to be found. I have tried going into settings and searching for a new update, but it appears my phone thinks the update was installed, but it clearly has not been. I cannot imagine there was any errors in the process, as it should have just ran while plugged in.
Any ideas?

Hey everyone,
So two night ago I received a notification on my GS3 saying a new update was out.
When I tried installing the update it rebooted into recovery and failed at 24%....weird. I was running Rogers stock rom and recovery at the time so this shouldn't have happened, and I would like to know why for future reference.
I also tried updating via samsung kies. But when I tried this, it said my device wasn't compatible to update via kies????
So I ended up download the LK4 update off sammobile website and installed it using odin.
Anyways, I now have the new update installed. I've noticed two weird things:
1. When I go to about phone in settings and go into software update, it shows a screen "checking for software updates..." and doesn't go away unless I press back or home button. Why can't I search for new updates????
2. My google now voice isn't working. It recognizes what I say to it but when it gives the flashcard response, it doesn't talk back like it normally does. I have it set to English US, and yes my media volume is up at full volume.
Anyways I'm a little frustrated at this point. I can't figure out how to fix these problems so any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks
So I had my phone rooted sometime around the point when the 4.1.2 OTA came out. I went back to stock recovery and a nandroid backup that I made before rooting. Now, about once a week, I get the notification that the update is available but it doesn't work. My phone reboots like its going to update, I get the android guy with the spinning graphic thing, then it reboots the same as it was before.
I tried searching but couldn't find a solution...if my searching skills suck just let me know
THANKS!
I've got an unrooted, completely stock, unlocked Galaxy Nexus. A few weeks ago, I updated it to 4.3 when prompted by the usual notification ("System update downloaded: Touch to install"), and the update went fine.
However, since then I keep getting the same notification again, and pressing it seems to reinstall 4.3. The notification then reappears after a week or so. I know the update isn't failing, as I can see in the settings that it's running 4.3.
Does anyone know why it might be doing this, and how I can stop it?!

I used the LG Flashtool to revert my D851 back to stock last night. It is on 10c (4.4.2) and every time I try to force an update check, it says that it is already up to date. Thinking that it could just take a little bit of time to pull the OTA I waited all day today checking periodically to see if it can pull the OTAs. I have reverted my phone back to stock on a number of occasions and it always pulled the OTAs without a problem, not sure why it isn't this time? Any suggestions?

I just downloaded the LG PC Suite which allows you to update your phone via computer. Initially it says "Software upgrade available", then it switches to say "Your device has the latest software available from the LG Mobile Support Tool". I am running D85110C which is the base build with the TOT file.
Cliff notes: rooted/unlocked xl on stock 8.1 ota. that I sideloaded. Phone installed 9 ota, requested restart, now im on 9. I honestly do not remember accepting update.
How can this happen? and will there be issues?
More Details:
So an odd thing happened to today. My phone, a rooted/unlocked running stock rom, got a notification for an update to 9. I have had my phone since 1/17, and I have been rooted unlocked since day one. This is the first time I have received a update notification. I ignored it figuring ill just get the ota and sideload it like i have done previously. Later today my battery was low and I get a message stating the update install is paused due to low battery. Once it charged enough it told me to restart phone which i did, then quickly realized it may have been a bad idea. Phone booted, told me i had an unlocked phone blah blah, then I noticed my custom loading screen was replaced by the standard google screen. 30 seconds later android 9 boots up. everything works fine, lost root though.

my phone is still on 8.1 and a check say's up to date, I have downloaded 9. ppr ota , would like to know before i side load, have you got root back ? I use magisk .
I have not attempted to get root back.
Did you have TWRP? Honestly, I'm in a situation where I'd like that to happen. Unfortunately I don't have access to my PC and would like to take the final OTA to Pie, but I'm rooted with Magisk, and.have TWRP installed, I'm worried about a bootloop.
I'm just trying to figure out if there is a way to force my phone to get the OTA update the normal way. My Pixel picked it up as soon as I manually checked for an OTA Update. My daily driver Pixel XL has been saying that I am up to date for the past 22 - 23 hours since the update went live, so I'm still stuck on 8.1.0. Does Google drip feed the update out in blocks based on IMEI to limit the impact on the download server?
