I dont know, maybe it depends at that, that I'm not on usa with my 7.0 lte or my item never registered on AT&T network, but I'm not able download update to my pad. My current version is v41010b, but i see that available is v41010d. I try fota and LG tool, bot fails. No luck with imei download too.
Anyone have this v41010d.kdz file and can upload it somewhere? Or know where I can download it?

when you upgrade with the kdz method, you should be launching an LG utility on your computer. If you didn't do those firewall blocking, the utility should self-update, and then grab the latest available kdz file from the LG servers

Hey all. This is my situation. I have a GT-5110N wifi only tablet that I purchased 2 years ago in Canada. The motherboard recently crashed and the repair place put in a SIM enabled motherboard Model SGH-I467 with Android Jelly bean 4.1.2 I wan't to upgrade to 4.4.2 as I had with my previous motherboard. With extensive searching I found out that this is an AT&T tablet. I try to use the OTA update on the tablet but it says I have the latest version. The AT&T website says there was a OTA update to 4.4.2 in October 2014. I've called both AT&T and Samsung for help. No dice. What can I do?? I checked on sammobile and they only have the 4.1.2 version. However, the SGH-I467M through Telus contains 4.4.2 Can I download that?? I'm new to rooting etc. Do I need to unlock device?? Please help.
Thanks
Unfortunately, there is no firmware available for the sgh-i467 4.4.2
I recently got my 4.4.2 rom rooted and extracted the rom components - but I am trying to find someone who knows what to do with all the stuff to create an odin flashable rom.... but we are not there yet... hoping someone can help out.
If you keep watching here on the forums, it may happen at some point.

Weird as the AT&T website says there is.
I can't post the link yet but its there. I'll cut and paste

oh ok. Now I understand. Thanks man. I tried to get AT&T to help me out. If I had a US IP address, would the wifi update work?? Or am I required to have an AT&T sim card installed?? I guess you kinda stated that already.
I had to have an active att sim card to get it to work on my device... wouldn't work any other way for me.
Thanks
Thanks dandroid. I guess the next time I travel to the US I'll see if I can get a hold of and active SIM card. Let me know if you hear of any other solutions. Thanks again.

Dandroid: If I request AT&T to unlock the device, will that help me?? Another question, would the firmware upgrade file from sammobile for the equivalent Telus device work then if I unlocked it from AT&T and then used odin??
Att will only sim unlock, which makes the device useable with other brand sim cards... mine was already Sim unlocked by att before I tried to update to 4.4.2, but in still needed an active att sim to update it.
Trying to flash any firmware other than sgh-i467 will brick your device - doesn't matter if it is unlocked or not.
Thanks again

Thanks dandroid. I guess I either wait and update on my next trip to the US (who knows when) or try the AT&T gophone option. $5 sim card and $20 refill. Activate it and hopefully it recognizes it then lets me do upgrade via wifi or Kies. That should work right?
That sounds like the easiest option to try... if you can get a cheap Sim card it might be worth a try.
I love this tablet, but I hate this locked bootloader bs...
I have a stock software on my Verizon LG G4 which is on Non-Verizon network.
What is the best way to update it without losing all my existing app and setting? OTA wont work since I am not on the Verizon network
I loaded the SUA on my computer and it does not have the new update.
Do you think LG Bridge would help?
I just need the update, no fancy rooting or anything like that.
Your help is appreciated.
Ok
please download the KDZ file here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/verizon-g4/general/kdz-download-kdz-24c-official-lg-servers-t3317412
and then you update the software using

make sure to choose update option instead of refurbish.
Hello,
I am currently with Freedom Mobile, but my phone was purchased through Rogers, has the open Network Bands to use the Freedom network, and a new P6 Freedom Mobile SIM Card. My phone is also running as HTC_001.
Before modifying my phone and having to re-do everything I may have done in the past:
Can anyone on either Freedom Mobiles network with their stock RUU confirm they have the Wifi Calling option and it works?
To be able to use services of a carrier, like WiFi calling etc, you MUST be using a firmware that came from that carrier. If freedom issue a specific firmware for the m9 you must use it. If they don't and their phones come "network unlocked/debranded", ie using the 401 firmware, then you should be able to access the WiFi etc on any device. Another example is if you want to use tmobile features then you need a tmobile firmware.
So the question you need to find the answer to is "does freedom carrier have a branded firmware for the m9".
You are correct. Based on my research earlier, I came across that same conclusion.
I think the best/only way to test this however, is a) if someone has a latest version of their branded firmware and can check this or b) I get a TWRP restore and install this on my phone (I assume this is possible and not IMEI restricted) or c) I find another way to get to a stock firmware.
I changed my CID back to the Freedom Mobile one and downloaded the stock TWRP backup from the old Canadian Stock ROM thread, but it is either too large or possibly too old and incompatible with my phone.
I had to use ADB commands through computer to restore, and it looked like it would accept. However, the computer was stuck at "unlock phone screen to continue" and TWRP said "MTP enabled."
Those backups are most likely too old. You can try to find a suitable RUU on easy-firmware or you need to contact llabtoofer's RUU service since at the moment there is no freely available RUU for your phone. The links can be found in the FAQ of the ReadMe thread.

Just a quick update. I ended up aborting this "project" of mine.
Despite using Mac OS, encountering corrupt zip files and other files issues where I would get an 22 RU_HEADER_ERROR, I ended up finding my biggest issue.
My MID was set to OPJA10000, instead of 0PJA10000. This issue caused multiple hours of frustrations. I have now flashed my phone back to stock 4.28.401.3. I will most likely have to reinstall TWRP and restore my previous backup.
On another note, is anyone else unable to find the HTC Mail app in Google Play store? Mine crashes every time I try to reply to emails or create a new one. Google Play Store on the computer shows my M9 is not compatible.
Get rid of Google Chrome. I don't know what's exactly the reason but current chrome versions break the HTC Mail app.
Sent from my HTC One M9 using XDA Labs
Same for me. Not compatible.
Just an update to this.
They released a new version of HTC Mail v10.70.1031252.
Based on quick trials, this has resolved the recent issues regarding HTC Mail and Google Chrome being at the latest version, regarding crashing when creating a new email or replying, but I have not tested it extensively.
I know this should be a new thread with a proper title instead of piggybacking on an old one, so if a mod can create one (or prefers I do), that would be great.
Hey everyone, this is a carryover post from the LG G7 Reddit. As of now, there are a number of people out there with US model firmware flashed phones that don't allow updating via normal methods (most commonly PM/Sprint phone flashed with ULM/Unlocked firmware). The only way for these users to update their phone is to flash an updated kdz with LGUP's refurbish option, which causes the phone to be wiped (while it's possible to backup most elements of the phone, it'd be ideal if a normal FOTA update could be obtained and executed on these devices). I used to own one of these phones, before obtaining a factory ULM version. The phone I bought was running the October (10g) update so I was hoping I could just capture the 10i update and share that to users that needed an alternative way to upgrade with the FOTA update.
However, LG apparently has their phone updates in a cumulative/rolled up package (in this case, my phone downloaded this 522MB file when updating, even though I'm sure only a small portion was ultimately needed). When opened with a program like 7-Zip, only one, much smaller file is shown (I don't know if this is actually a kdz file or something similar since 7-Zip is unable to correctly read the header/contents). This could very well be the same file one would download if using LG Bridge (although the PM/Sprint model => ULM/Unlocked converted phones are not detected by that program). I've only worked with HTC/Samsung/Nexus+Pixel-branded phones in the past, so I know little to nothing about LG's packaging and update methodology. Any assistance in creating (or explaining how one might go about creating) a FOTA file that could be sideloaded or flashed with LGUP would be amazing. Cheers!
Hello, updating with lgup doesn't need to be with the refurbish option. There is an update option witch keeps data.
Usually other kdz models can't be flashed on other models (but certainly possible). That also goes for update files.
FOTA updates can't be extracted with simply opening it with a 7zip. Btw how did you get the link to that update?

Thanks for confirming the information about using the update option. Another XDA user, tycrek, was able to do the same with the aid of a modified dll file (which seems to be a requirement for getting official apps to recognize modified phones; LGUP Dualmode is nice too, even if you don't need to touch the dev side). I'm unsure what type of modifications their phone had from stock though (if any).
The used market is flooded with a lot of G7 phones that were originally Sprint models that have had the unlocked/Google Fi firmware flashed to them (there is an active thread here about the subject; one of the most prolific sellers of these phones is even actively posting replies). If anyone is unsure, go to the phone's Hardware Info in the Settings. If the model is LM-G710ULM but the S/N is blank, then it's likely one of these phones. OTA Updates as well as using Google Pay are both unavailable to these phones as well (flashing the Verizon firmware to the phone can supposedly fix both of these issues, however, I didn't know about this at the time and so I couldn't test it before getting a replacement).
As far as my use of 7-Zip, I was hoping that the file was, in reality, a zip file that just had its extension removed, but obviously, that's not the case =). I still want to figure out the format of this file and extract the contents from it (I'm just waiting for some free time to appear!) As far as obtaining the link, I was fortunate, in that my phone was due for an update that had already been released. Using the 1st method in this tutorial, I was able to capture the URL that my phone was updating from (LG seems to be making use of Limelight Network's CDN to give users faster downloads... I'm sure other files are being hosted as well, but I'm not sure how they could be located aside from trying to find a pattern in the naming scheme).
