Got my phone replaced, and since the OTA got pulled I'm stuck on 11a. I had better experience with 12A (was able to work around the wifi issues). Does anyone know if the OTA exists for download anywhere and how how to apply it?
Yes at first takes my love and be happy to know that i am also finding this answer . Thank you very much .

Just wondering if this OTA will download and apply automatically or if I have to OK it. I have a rooted slide with slidemeroot5 and I don't want to lose root or anything. If someone can answer please let me know, thanks!
Its for the stock ROM so you wouldn't even be able to apply it anyway. If you were stock and rooted it would take the root away. I would say best bet is to wait until a Dev applies the changes to their ROM and then flash that.

To implement the OTA into a ROM, the dev needs the OTA file. If he downloads the OTA and doesn't install it, then pulls it as described in a thread in the Slide General forum, then contacts a dev such as ChiefzReloaded and gives him the OTA file, then proper development can continue.
There is something on the tmo press release that confused me. It says that you will be notified by a free sms msg. Is this how all ota updates have come out? I have never had a stock android at the time of an update (rooted my g1 first day out of the box). If so, then I know how to go about pulling the file down for a dev; and I will when my daughter gets her update (if someone hasnt already beat me to it that is). If this is not the usual way; will pulling the file still be possible?
The press release also mentions something about them not being able to manually update subscribers any sooner than the 19th. Is this just their way of saying dont call us if you havent gotten your update yet? Thats kinda funny if that's all it is, lol.

That's exactly what it means. What else could it possibly mean other than that? I work for T-Mobile and if you were to call asking about the update before then, I'd tell you to call back if you don't get it by the 20th. We literally can't push the OTA.
It could possibly mean that there is no download for it available to public devices. Im just trying to make sure that when my daughters phone updates i will be able to pull the logcat and have a download url

So just the other day I was finally able to root my slide via one of the methods posted here. I quickly installed cyanogenmod 6.1 stable only to find out that it is horrible on my battery life. So I decided to un-root the phone and go back to the stock ROM. So I followed yet another method and I was able to return to the original rom, but I am having troubles applying the OTA radio update. I have attempted both methods posted in the "bible" thread and I receive errors after I choose to apply sdcard:update.zip.
It says "E: signature verification failed installation aborted"
anybody have any idea why this may be happening?
Are you trying to apply the "OTA" update found on this board, or did your phone actually receive the update over the air? If you're back to stock, you will not be able to apply updates found on this site like you could when rooted.
I am trying to apply the ones found on this message board, I never received the official OTA update from t-mobile. I remember when i got the phone (bought it 2nd hand) I was able to apply the OTA update. So your saying I need to be rooted in order to apply it?
Well, not entirely sure about specifically the OTA update, but I was under the impression that any .zip you tried to update while not being rooted would not work. However, if you unrooted, you will eventually receive the update if your phone needed it.
So t-mobile is still pushing the update? I was under the impression that is was only durring a select time frame they would be doing that. I might have to hold off on tweaking my phone around some more and see if it does happen.
As far as I know, anytime your phone registers on the network, it will also peek for updates. I do not think there was a time limit, but I could be wrong.
Alright, I will give it a couple days before I do anything and see what happens. Thanks for the input. If anybody else knows anything, please do share .
All,
I hope someone can help me, or direct me to where I can find out how to get by the update. I've had it pop up on my Verizon G3 every day and every time I plug it into a charger, I have to keep pushing it until I find a solution.
From what I've read, I believe the update is not going through due to a Hotspot Mod where I changed some files.. I'm sure most of you are familiar. Unfortunately, I don't know how to reverse the modification and go through with the update.
I'm rooted, and on stock.
Thank you for any help.
Hi everyone! I need some help or guidance here. I think I may know why this is happening but not sure . I'll explain in detail below:
Anyway, so the long awaited Lollipop was apparently released on April 7th for the T-Mobile LG G3. I've been waiting for it for a while just as many other probably have been. Well, none of the updates ever showed up on my phone via OTA or the LGMobile Support Tool.
The only thing I can think of as to why this MIGHT be happening to me (unless nobody else has been able to update yet because T-Mobile delayed the update) is because my IMEI has been reflashed to a Galaxy Note 2. However, I'm not sure that a different IMEI on my phone would prevent it from being updated since the firmware is obviously still a D851 LG firmware...
My phone is NOT rooted. It's all stock by the way.
Anyway, I guess what I need to know is:
1) Has everyone else with the T-Mobile Lg G3 been able to successfully update to Lollipop yet?
2) Will the different IMEI on my phone affect whether or not my phone is detectable as a D851 G3?
Thanks everyone in advance!
Bump. Anybody?
I'm really not sure that IMEI have any effect on the update center , have you tried to do a factory reset ?
another thing I can think of is just root your device and install a stable fast stock rom that uses LP on it ( like cloudy ).

Yeah I'm not sure it does either. I talked to a friend of mine that works at T-Mobile and he said a mismatched IMEI shouldn't make a difference. However, worst case scenario I'll have to manually flash it to Lollipo once the official ROM has been uploaded somewhere on the internet. I haven't tried to do a factory reset. Not positive on this but I think the IMEI is stored in memory that won't change whether it's factory reset or not especially since the original one was wiped and replaced.
I'll try to stick to the stock ROMs on this phone to avoid any issues with the custom stuff. Although, I was never able to successfully tether via WiFi on this phone. It works via USB cable. Still annoying hehe.

There is already a firmware on the forum: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2785089
I don't know if you can do this guide though since you never rooted your phone, better if you ask there.

Thanks for the link. I don't think the OP has the D851 Lollipo version uploaded. I only saw it for D855. I guess I'll just wait until everyone else gets the official update and flash it manually. From what it sounds like people have been having issues minor issues with Lollipop anyway. Maybe that's why T-Mobile is delaying the OTA updates. Who knows
For some reason my phone will not let me take the newest update for the Verizon G4. Does anybody know of another way besides OTA or Verizon Update Assistant that I could update my phone? Can't find the KDZ to try and flash. Any help would be appreciated. Thank You
Mine won't see it either. They may have pulled the update?
Are you rooted?

No not rooted
I would also love to hear of a way to update to Verizon's 12a without OTA. I unrooted my 11a version in order to get 12a to fix touchscreen issues. It seems the 12a OTA is not around, at least verizon doesn't want to give it to me.
Oddly enough after using kdz for 11a my software showed status as "Official". But a few hours later it switched to Modified, even though I'm not rooted. Not sure why.
I don't see it either

Same here, my phone is unrooted, and it is on Verizon Network.
I have tried OTA update, it keep saying i already have the latest update (which is 11A)
I have also tried Verizon Update Assistant Installer (working in windows 7, but not in Windows 10), same thing, when I tried to update, it keep saying I already have the latest update (which is 11A)
do any one know Verizon push OTA by the list? (e.g. some people will get first, and some people will get last) or every one should get OTA at once?
Also, is possible Verizon pull the 12A update due to notification issue?
thanks
It's highly likely that Verizon pulled this update. Nobody has reported receiving it since about 10/10. I'm sure we'll see a new one drop soon that fixes whatever was wrong with 12A.

Thanks for the info.
Hoping Verizon does not take too much time, We will get Marshmallow soon, then 12A is no longer needed.
