[Update] Android L (Lollipop) and the G2

Figured I'd start a thread about Lollipop since it was officially announced today. As others (namely @KD8JBF ) have pointed out, Sprint has updated their device RDF page to mention a ZVE firmware. Will this be the update to Lollipop? Any ideas?
How do you think the G2 will handle Lollipop, and what do you think about what we've seen of Lollipop so far? Hopefully ZVE will at least fix some of the bugs in LG's firmware.

no. its 4.4.2 http://device.sprintpcs.com/LG/LS980-SPRINT/latest

i think we will eventually. I think this update is the long awaited wifi-calling update.

I'm up for anything that uses more WiFi. I have a damn Airave because Sprint doesn't have signal where I live, which creates a whole other cluster of problems. Wonder how long it will take for us to get it?

I honestly do try not to be negative much....but where is the "This poll is stupid and pointless" option? :-/

Lol I'll try to add that.

I believe this is the update to use the home launcher from the G3. LG stated a few months ago that they were going to update the G2/Pro/Flex to the G3 launcher and they were attempting to have them all updated by Christmas.

This thread isn't about a ROM, it's about a software update from Sprint. If you're confusing the two, I'll answer as if you meant update when you said "ROM". If you were to update to ZVE (or update at all) and you're on CloudyG3 right now, you would have to downgrade back to a stock version of the LG LS980 firmware. You can do this using LG's FlashTool and a tutorial I put up on here awhile back. I also put up tutorial videos with links and downloads on YouTube if you search for my name " Kristi Grant". When I get on my laptop I'll post links, or click on the link in my signature.

Its 5.0.2 now and called ZVF!! Woot...looks like lolli is dropping soon.

They might as well wait for 5.1 to help fix memory leak

It's still 5.02. Sprint likely found a bug in the ZVF build so the new one is ZVG.

I'm just waiting for someone to get the update, root it, and do a Stock clean TWRP Backup (before signing in).
Hopefully someone will be nice enough to do this for those of us without access to a Windows computer with the FlashTool.

Too bad the memory leak still is not fixed in 5.1

That is where 5.1.1 comes about. 5.1 fixed, 5.0 leaks. But then they had leaks in 5.1 which hopefully 5.1.1 fixes

I wonder if the update will bring wifi calling to the G2 finally.

T-Mobile's LG G2 should receive a Lollipop treat starting today

[Q] Update to lolipop

Can I update to Lolipop directly instead of updating: -> 10L -> Lolipop?
If yes, what is the best way for me to update, since I'm rooted with Xposed Framework, stock bootloader
Thanks in advance!

Also would like to know.. Up*

If you are using the final build of the Android L KDZ then you'll be fine to flash it from any version as the KDZ contains all necessary files. @autoprime has confirmed on his twitter feed that this update does not implement anti-rollback so you should be fine to downgrade and Bump in the future if you want. Hope this helps!

But I'm not using the final build of Android... I'm asking if I can upgrade to lollipop, when it's officially out, instead updating to 10L and then update to Lollipop

I know that... I just wanna know if I need to do 2 updates or I can just jump to lollipop once it's officially out. I just said that I have Xposed and the rest, for you guys to tell me which is the best way to update in these conditions.
Thanks.

I said the Lollipop update contains all necessary files. The final KDZ is what they will push when Android L gets officially updated on your device, or a TOT or .dpkg. You will not need to update in between as you never do inbetween major system updates. If an official update ever has dependencies, it will not let you update without them so don't worry. You would be able to jump from any version you like to Android L. Like I said though, we will have a ported version of Android L long before the official update. Also, although @autoprime has confirmed the release of Android L for the D855 does not implement anti-rollback, this does not mean that other variants will not implement something to keep us from going back to previous software versions, then you may be stuck with Android L but no root or TWRP permanently. I can not emphasize enough how much I do not agree with taking any official updates if you are the slightest bit interested in root or custom roms for you phone.
Also, you only get notified if someone directly quotes a post of yours or if you mention someone by username using @ like I did for @autoprime above.
If I've helped, hit the thanks button!

If you want to update officially with the KDZ, the best option is this:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2799647
Just use the tool and official KDZ to ensure everything is wiped and completely updated.
There is already a rooted Android L .zip ready to flash via TWRP that is available in the General G3 Development thread. Good luck with either route.

Love you.

Thank you so much! Finally someone who gave me a perfect answer for all my questions! Thanks again! By the way my model is indeed 855 international. Is the released Android L KDZ the official one? because I wanted the fully stable version released by LG...

His twitter feed Auto(utoprime) shows recent tweets where he bolded the fact that it does not implement it.
https://mobile.twitter.com/utoprime
It's a few tweets down and it specifically says the D855 20A update does not use anti-rollback.

did LG?

Android 5.0

Does anyone know if it was released today? I saw two articles on google that it was released for D581. Any news on it?

The bits I can find are talking about a Cyanogen CM12 release for the D851. Not stock from LG yet. But perhaps my google-fu is off today.

Hey guys, so judging from this thread the D581 isn't on lollipop yet huh? A friend of mine just got this phone but is using it here in Canada on Wind Mobile. Will the 5.0 update be pushed from T Mobile, which in essence would exclude him from the update, or is it coming directly from LG?

Hi, i would simply know if people experimenting touch screen problem had it fixed, and if yes with which firmware version.

Depends which variant you are purchasing in order to detirmine the exact update that fixed it.
But end of the day. all variants received an update that fixed it. Although there is a very select few who're still experiencing issues.

I heard good reports on the AT&T "i" update.
Haven't tried it personally, since I'm rooted on "g" and am afraid to revert everything enough to get the OTA.
Also, still skeptical folks saying it's fixed are experiencing a placebo effect. I've tried many fixes other swore by and experienced little to no improvement.

I'm on T-Mobile. So on your newest variant for your phone, yes the touch screen is fixed. You'll have to Google what the newest update for your variant is.

New Firnware for Turkey?

Hey guys from turkey is this a new Firmware maybe 6.0.1? Pls give us infos Or changelog

I believe that this is the current version that we are using which is v20d-tur-xx. If not please enlighten us

i am currently using a h815 german model of the g4 so i didnt know that tr versions didnt get v20d yet. i thoguht it would be 6.0.1. I saw this today because i wanted to downgrade my phone back to 5.1 but if anyone here has a turkish model then he could give us more detailed information.

I am currently installing the new update. I checked the LG Bridge app after your post. There is a new update (v20e-tur-xx Dated 22/03/2016 I guess I skipped the details screen). I will write again once the update is done. It is 1.57gb and showing enchantsment on wifi calling and voelt(or smt like this).

You had v20d before update or something else?

The new firmware is v20e. Here is the download for that version:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/g4/general/kdz-firmware-20e-turkey-t3347030

It would be somethink like april security patch and they probably have added support for wifi calling and volte as it looks like, but I cannot say somethink. I want the opinion from the people who has this update.

Don't call people noob or hacker. Maybe you are a brash f...l that you can say these words. I'm downloading KDZ now. I will flash tomorrow or tonight and it is very natural that size is 1.57gb. Because LTE will be starting to used in our country on April 1. I know this is a very sad situtation for us

Actually it is not 4G, it will be 4.5G after April 1. I have also installed 20e via LG Bridge and LG Bridge has downloaded 1.57GB file for update.

I flashed 20e KDZ with LGUP but there is no section for wifi calling. How did you get it?

A bit off topic, but Turkcell was one of the best providers I could try regarding 3G. With a prepaid SIM I had a very stable and fast connection, no drops in crowded Istanbul areas, data cover even in remote places like the top of Mount Nemrut ! They could even teach some of the French carriers to handle a 3G network correctly !
Off topic finished, don't know how they can put out a 1.5GB update with "only" this little improvement. Maybe a lot more of changes "under-the-hood".
