[Q] stop persistent at&t ota updates - LG Optimus G Pro

AT&T LG Optimus G Pro (LG e980), Android 4.4.2, Kernel 3.4.0, Build KOT491.E98020h,. History: bought stock phone with Android version 4.1.2.. At&t ota upgrade forced version 4.4.2. I rooted phone with toweroot. Problem: I'm going to unroot phone and install lollypop, then reroot. If I don't like android version 5, I'll unroot and flash v4.1.2. Then reroot. How can i prevent the at&t over the air from happening between the time i finish flashing 4.1.2 and when i reroot. At&t ota is persistent and immediate. THANX

You could turn off your WiFi router at home and then it couldn't download the update. Or maybe pulling the SIM card would prevent it.
These are my initial thoughts, but someone else may have some other ideas.

disconnect router or pull sim
Thanx for the reply. I'll try that when I'm up to speed on flashing LGE980-01-V10G-310-410-APR-03-2013+0.tot

Found this on the web: to turn off att updates :access Hidden menu: 3845#*980# , find wlan test, click ota disable. It seems to work.

[Q] Helpppp please

I uninstall at&t software update with titanium because its unlocked and it never updated my phone before so I'm currently using tmobile and anytime I go to check for updates, it won't even open please help
If you uninstalled the update app, there won't be anything for it to open. Besides, unless you are using it on AT&T you can't get updates that way.

Yup what @DocHoliday77 said, you need a active att service for the device to update
I have a Motorola Atrix HD on Bell that I flashed with stock ATT firmware and I was able to get OTA updates from ATT via wifi with no sim installed. Not sure if it would be the same for the s3. All you can do restore to stock and try it.
It is weird for some devices because my friend had a att note 2 on straight talk and was able to get the KK ota so I guess it just needs be on att network but idk ota's are weird like that

[D850] Lollipop Update not found - Unlocked Phone

Hi,
I bought a LG G3 from Ebay which was blocked on AT&T for using it both in the USA and in Europe (I choose this model for its frequencies supported). It is a D850 model as you can expect.
After receiving it, I unlocked it to run different carriers. I rooted it as well.
I want to install the AT&T 5.0.1 update from OTA (I don't care about root right know). But I have one big problem. I keeps saying that my software is up to date which is wrong. Is it because I'm on T-Mobile right know and AT&T blocks the update ?!
I'm using build D85010d. right know and I never had a software update notification. I've tried to set my phone date to a couple days forward as suggested by Android Police. No luck.
I just want to have the update. After that if it says "you are rooted, you can't install", I will unroot it and reinstall.
Is there any way to update manually ? I heard it's impossible thanks to AT&T.
This is beginning to irritate me.
Thank you in advance

have you found any solutions to this? i'm using an unlocked att G3 as well (although not blocked) and I can't figure out how to update. i even tried to put someone's ATT sim in it and it still said it was up to date, which is completely false. god i hate att. can't update, can't use Qi charging, can't do anything.
I can't update my lg g3(d855) too. It's have the 4.4.2 kitkat and i want upgrade it to 5.0.1 lollipop.
Plzz help if u find a solution to this problem
Same issue .......how to update to lollipop manually ....................... if someone can help it will be appreciated :good:
I am having an issue with the AT&T Lollipop update, as well. I bought a D850 from eBay on KitKat 4.4.2, and when I inserted my AT&T MVNO SIM and checked for updates, it found the Lollipop update. It started downloading, but about 2/3 of the way through, the display shut off (I had it set for 15 minutes). When I got the display back, this action had stopped the download, and it did not continue. Now, when I check for updates, it just says I have the current version. I have run system resets, and tried a different AT&T SIM, but I can't get the Lollipop download again. Does the start of a FOTA download set a flag somewhere that prevents re-downloading?
Only thing I could think of is asking for a .kdz file for your phone and carrier and then flashing that using the LG Flash Tool
unable to update D850
I have the same issue. I have a D850 AT&T version and my is not showing any update available. I am in 4.4.2. Any solution how to update? Please help. Thanks to all

At&t LG g3 d850
Hi, I'm New in the XDA forum.
My name is Neeraj
And when I saw your post, I found me.
What ever you do please don't do custom rom update.i found that in a hard way.
Like you I too bought one from ebay, at&t logo but unlocked, and while trying to update says it's up to date.
Later I found out I need at&t SIM to update the phone. Because it's only network unlocked not the entire phone. It still got some sorts of at&t restrictions.
Any way I went and rooted, installed twrp, and cm13 6.0.1 then Walla my phone goes into reboot loop and when it finally opens up the network doesn't work.
By the I'm in Australia , temporary residence and I don't have at&t SIM.
So good luck and infact i'm hoping some one will guide me too
I fixed it, don't know exactly if it will work on others.
But what exactly I did was search Google download official stock rom for at&t LG G3 D 850 ( KitKat or lollipop), flash the rom and Walla got my IMEI number restored and it fixed my boot loop problem.
Then backed up by all data, IMEI, etc and then flashes back to custom CM marshmallow. Now all is well. ?
Hope it this will help some one aleast a newbie lie me

I woke up to a System Update H83010d

I woke up to a System Update H83010d.
I got this update also but haven't installed it yet. The question is, have you been able to keep root after the update?
So I went ahead and tried the update while being rooted and having twrp installed. The update failed. Here is a screenshot of it. What is weird is the failed message says this update is for an h1 device but mine is an h830.
So pls share something, is good bad update ?Battery life, camera or any other changes ?
I can confirm it fixed the issues I was having reconnecting to my stereo on Bluetooth

I'm using an unlocked H830 on AT&T and have tried getting the update with an unactivated T-Mobile sim, but no luck. I really hope this update would fix the static issue I have with the aux cord in my car.
Anyone have any suggestions?

if u want twrp/root.. get it on 10A first then flash the 10D complete zip.
if u dont want TWRP/root then update thru LG Bridge or LGUP + 10d KDZ
http://forum.xda-developers.com/tmo...ock-h830-10d-rom-flashable-zips-imgs-t3406505
i got the update too. Is it safe to update and keep root? otherwise, is there a way to block the update? Does it maybe fix an issue where wifi randomly turns off?
PSA : Warning! If the update is installed you will brick your phone trying to go back to H83010a firmware.
The update fixed my GPS issues, no issues with locking on now.
Has anyone tried using Flashfire to flash the ota and retain root?

Go to the thread by autoprime. You don't have to worry about accepting OTA plus it evidently will fail anyway.
I updated to 10D from 10a . Flawlessly.

LG G Pad X 10.1 v930 update issue

After bricking my first tablet, I learned that the boot loader is locked and that the factory Rom is not available for this device (and a lot of AT&T devices). It was replaced luckily but now I face a different set of issues. The update to Marshmallow is available but I cannot update it no matter what I do. Obviously I am worried about tinkering too much because of the possibility of bricking it again. Yes it is rooted, and that's why it refuses to update.
Would it be wise to try to mask the root with an xposed module, since I can't seem to fully remove the root itself?
good luck getting any answers on this device. If been asking about downgrading from 6.0 so I can get root. No helpful information for the ATT variant.
I can't find any updated when I try for this device. How did you go about getting a replacement ?
I would be fine with a rom image to install and a root. But I want my 6.0 that I am deserving
You can't retain root if you're going from Android 5x to android 6x because of the changes to ART. Maybe one day some crafty dev will figure out how to root an AT&T 6x device with a locked bootloader but unfortunately that day isn't today.
If you are looking to root and customize your device then stay off of att.

I have an LG Gpad X 10.1 v930 (AT&T) which I am unable to update to Marshmallow via OTA Update. I haven't rooted my device, yet I am not able to receive the update via OTA. Is there any other way I can update to Marshmallow? I tried to use LG Bridge but it keep giving me message "Cannot check software version".
I just recently got the v930 from AT&T, and I've tried Kingroot, but it did not work. It came with MM already installed, and I can't find very much information on this tablet. So If you want root, then it's probably best not to upgrade.

My tablet originally had an ATT sim card so I borrowed an ATT sim card, checked again for update through settings. Connected to the ATT server and got the update.

Put in an ATT sim card so you can connect to their server for the update.

Samsung Galaxy Note 5 AT&T Marshmallow UK

I purchased a Galaxy Note 5 from eBay. It came with Android 5.1.1, i have tried doing a software update but says i have the latest software. I have tried updating through Samsung Smart Switch but says my device is not supported. I have read other people have updated to Android 6 but it will not update mine. Is there anything else i can do? My device is the N920A. Thanks
You need to have an (activated) AT&T SIM Card in the phone before you can get OTA updates on an AT&T model - that really stinks doesn't it? !!!
However if you are willing to do a factory reset and use ODIN to flash the firmware upgrade, you can get the July 6.0.1 Marshmallow update form here:
http://www.androidsage.com/2016/06/...5-to-n920aucu2bpe6-android-6-0-1-marshmallow/
I am in Canada and was wondering if it would work to get a AT&T pay as you go sim card for the phone and then do the update over wifi?
Have now done the upgrade and running Marshmallow, thanks for your help
Good to hear ... did you use Odin or did you find an AT&T SIM for OTA update?
You can also apply all the OTA updates using ADB sideload (but that factory resets your handset every time, so do a full backup with Smart Switch PC app beforehand)
