New update? (False alarm) - G4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Got a new update notification best guess from reading what I can is that's its 5.1.1 but I'm rooted so should I be continuing with the update or don't continue?

what is the version # ?

I take it you already know you won't be able to install an OTA rooted? I'm pretty sure there will be no 5.1.1 for the G4, rumour has it we're going straight to Marshmallow.

I read the rumor as well but it doesn't make any sense what so ever what would we go from 5.1 straight to 6 with out the nexus lineup getting it first. Nexus lineup just got the final build last week so I really do doubt it.

So I just did the update and because I'm on a rooted kdz, its not gonna let me I haven't tried triangle away but I don't think it will work. So no luck from me sorry guys if there is a work around I will try to find it, ( I'm gonna try going back to original kdz and then try the update so yeah)

The update is H81210f, I installed it through LG Bridge after unrooting (well, selecting "remove root" in superSU, not sure if that step was needed or not). Seems like touchscreen performance is fixed on this one.

OK nice to hear.. So we have to wait for the flashable zip.

V9 Sprint OTA

Our devs are great love them all, but just letting everyone know if you're still stock like me i got the OTA this morning. I'm probably going to try rooting and unlocking later so we'll find out if it's still possible after updating.

If u plan to root, i would not do the ota. It's currently unrootable at the moment. If u did run the ota, you'd have to lgnpst back if u want root.

CA stands for California and I did a little research and this is what I found.
"According to an article in the business section of my newspaper, written by Dana Hull of mercurynews.com, the California Energy Commission on Thursday will consider adopting the nation's first energy-efficiency standards for battery chargers. The Commission staff says that these new regulations could (eventually) save the state as much as 2,200 GWh per year. The new regulations will cover every form of battery charger, from cell-phone chargers to industrial-sized chargers and would go into effect by January 2013. "
EDIT: Also with the 2nd LCD thing, I have no idea what that means but I googled it and found this. Seems to be people talking about enabling the 2nd LCD, like I said I have no idea. BUT I did read a few updates for other phones that enabled the 2nd LCD is getting them ready for Jelly Bean.

I checked the sources a few days ago, and zv9 does differ from zv8. I am not a kernel dev, so I'm not sure really how or how much, but I'm sure we can get someone who knows more to take a look at it.
Sent from my LG-E970 using xda app-developers app
I can confirm that stock v9 is unrootable meaning if you think you might want to unlock your bootloader and use custom roms its best to do so from v8. If you already upgraded to stock v9 and want to root and unlock you can use lgnpst to downgrade. This is what i did, the instructions for lgnpst are in the dev section. Theres a stock rooted v9 rom up right now so thats the way to go, plus you can get rid of bloatware.

To get the OTA System Settings -> System Updates ->Update LG Software.
I rooted ZV8 but left the bootloader locked, enabled supersu survival mode then ran the OTA. I was able to keep root.
I pulled the OTA Zip it has a boot.img and radio.img in it. The kernel and radio version appear to be the same though.
Post the boot.img from V9 please
Sent from my LG-LS970 using xda app-developers app
Probably just wait for a flashable zip since i have a unlocked bootloader and rooted. It is better then flashing the zv9 stock rom and loosing all my apps messages and settings plus pictures... Don't have the time to really do a one and done backup but for now I can wait for a flashable zip

I don't know. If they do, it probably won't be now. I got tired of calling T-Mobile and asking them if they were ever going to release the update. all I got EVER was the last update was on may 7th. That's all we have. Thanks. Is there anything else we can help you with?

Before everyone starts berating you for not installing another rom, I installed goldeneye and it was fine for a bit and got terrible lag on the home screen and app drawer. So I went back to rooted stock again. Only rom for my phone that is smooth.
Okay one of these thread whining about t mobile updates just got locked. Can we not start a new one?
If you want updates now, root your phone and update it to your heart's content. That is what XDA is here for.
If you want to stay stock for whatever reasons and complain about a lack of updates, do it on the t mobile forums. They have forums there that are monitored by people who might actually listen and do something about it. There are zero people from t mobile reading this thread.

I got the opposite - lag with stock and not with custom ROM's (and kernels) like Wicked and Omega.
The post above is good idea - flood the tmobile forum.

4.4.3 Update on the way

I know there are numerous members including myself, that have updated to KK 4.4.2, and just experienced nothing but crap, in comparison to 4.3, which we cannot go back to. But, luckily there is a Galaxy Note 3/Galaxy S4/Nexus 5 god somewhere. They have heard our complaints about the srewed-up update released, and are currently working on the fix, which will be named 4.4.3. This update will fix numerous issues, involving the most talked about, camera and data drops......ps. connection drops, etc. I've read they are currently testing the update, so in other words, they jumped right on it. I hqve been suffering from the 4.4.2 sickness every since the update, wishing I could, or someone find a way to go back to 4.3. I just recently updated my Galaxy S 4, not aware of the troubles, but didnt run full testing method to ensure that I respected the update. I just immediately fell In love with the smoothness and speed, unaware of the crap under the covers. And then I got bold and updated my Beast of Hardware, the Note 3...........and was overwhelmed by the lack of tlc of the update. But threw all the rebooting, the battery pulls, the waiting for sitez to load, the non responsive buttons, they are working to fix this horrible experience. Thanks you Android for wasting time, but at least aorking to fix the problems. Upon release of the fix, I cant wait to see the sweetness the Dev's bring to the table with the new OS fix.

Will 4.4.3 allow third party apps to write to the SD card again like in 4.3? If so I'm game!

The Note 3 Bootloader is not locked. The Bootloader is Knoxed or secured in a way not to allow to go backwards. I can't remember what it is exactly but the Bootloader is still unlocked on 4.4.2

The bootloader is unlocked. Even on 4.4.2. The qfuse won't let you downgrade the bootloader, but it's unlocked. I have the 4.4.2 bootloader with TWRP 2.7.0.0 and running leanKernel, so obviously it's not locked.

Back when 4.4.2 was released a member here that works for Samsung said when it would be released and it was released on the exact day he said it was. He also said another update was already in the works for May so it is no surprise that another should be hitting before long.

If you want to stay with LG I would suggest flashing this http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2706750. Seems once you accept the factory update a lot of people have issues rooting and switching to different roms. Congrats on your purchase and enjoy it :good:

4.4 as long as you realize that you may run into issues with the sd card depending how you use it. That goes double if your not rooted because most of the helpful utilities require root.
It's a cracking tablet either way.
I went from a Nexus 7 to a G Pad.
I stuck with stock and upgraded to 4.4.
I'm very happy with it.
I may consider root in the future depending upon storage.
Thanks for all the feedback. I have gone to 4.4 and the tablet is great very happy with my purchase. thanks guys

As has been noted thousands of times around these parts, the info you seek is "out there" meaning it's in threads and posts here in this Sprint G2 subforum. StumpRoot is the only way to root ZVE if that's what you're stuck with presently but you can always roll back to an older build of the firmware if you so choose.
As for Lollipop, well, it ain't all that...
You may be right about that br0adband, but sometimes something different is good.
This isn't the development firm but the general so questions are easily found and just as worthwhile to be nice.
First one free, second for to lmgtfy.
Thanks everyone for the help I'm trying to get back rooting cause I can't wait for sprint with this lollipop but one more question after I root and get a recovery can I flsdh lollipop straight up
