In the greedy android manufactorers world, you dont get updates fast. They want you to buy a completely new phone to get the newest android version. LG G4c is really really low priority because it's cheap. If you want updates (more than one major android version), you need to buy nexus phones OR jump the train to CRapple

It's not completely the manufacturers fault. The carrier has to tweak it too so it's compatible with their crapware.
It goes from Google, to the manufacturer, then on to the carrier.

[Q] got an update today - lollipop ?

Hi,
i have a Galaxy Note 3 and a Galaxy note 10.1 edition 2014. Yesterday i got lollipop for the smartphone. Today (15th of july) i got an update for the 10.1. I didn't read very exactly and just thought "wow, lollipop also for my 10.1". It was a big update (~270MB). But after the installation i have still Android 4.4.2.
Currently i have kernel 3.4.39-4930524 and Buildnumer KOT49H.P600XXUDOE1 . Does anyone else got an update today ?
Is it possible that i got an update for lollipop and something went wrong ? Or it is just an update for 4.4.2 ? Are there logfiles i can check ? Or is there a possibility to redo the update ? If i check for updates manually, it says it has the newest.
Thanks for any help.

The build is from June.
http://www.sammobile.com/devices/specs/SM-P600/
it's the newest for your region, DOE1 or DOC1 for some others.
Don't worry an update to lollipop will take around 1.4Gb and not just small packages. Oh and by the way, we might, just might get it before the end of the year.... Sad that I paid over 700 CAD for it when I could have purchased two newer models from Samsung since. Samsung only focuses on the latest models, once you purchased a tablet it is mostly end of life and updates... ah who cares, they got your money.

Same for others, man. ASUS is the best for this "want an update? buy a new model !"
We can be happy that there's been an update on this tab from 4.3 to 4.4

Manually updating to 5.1.1?

Hello,
I have an unlocked LG G3 bought from Amazon UK.
It is currently on Android 5.0 and I was waiting long for 5.1 or 5.1.1 but it seems it won't be updated soon automatically.
Can I manually update to 5.1 or 5.1.1? Does anybody know where should I download the official firmware?
I know the website for all Samsung firmware but not sure of the LG one.
Software version of my G3 is V20i-EUR-XX.
Thanks.
As soon as 5.1(5.1.1) or newer version is available(at all for the g3) you can download it either from your carrier or when the OPEN ones receive it. Currently the g3 doesn't have 5.1(5.1.1) or newer available at all.

Ah all right, I thought there is 5.1 for G3 but my specific version did not get it yet.
Thanks.
I dont think G3 will get 5.1.1 id say we will wait a very long time and they will go straight to 6.0 after the G4 gets its update.

Do I Have To Update

Hi this may sound dumb, and sorry if it is.
I have a LG G3 running 4.4 KitKat when lollipop came out I upgraded but I did not get on with it so I went back to 4.4 and waited for marshmallow, now that's almost here.
"My question is" will I need to upgrade to lollipop and then to marshmallow OR will it just update strate to marshmallow ??????
Many Thanks Paul
It's LG D855 in the UK and not tied to a network.

I think it will require you to OTA update to Lollipop first and then update to Marshmellow
But if you want to skip that you can always install Marshmellow manually when the KDZ comes out for your variant in the UK
The answer to this is yes. I was running stock KK 4.4.1 and I got fed up with waiting for my MM update so I used this (http://www.droidviews.com/install-marshmallow-kdz-lg-g3-d855-using-flash-tool/) it took me about ten minutes and was so easy I'd wish I done it weeks ago. But before I did I update to LP first as I didn't know if some code was used from LP in MM, so I done the OTA update to LP first and by doing I found 4 other updates waiting to install. So I would be still waiting in till the end of time for my OTA MM update. So I would suggest this kzd update to anyone even amateurs. My G3 D885 is now running 6.0 and haven't found any problems yet.

I got the update via LG Support Tool you should try it too.
I already have it. Its just better to flash yourself marshmallow ROM because of delay.
Flashed it to now moms H440N on release day she is happy with phone, and it isn't laggy as it was sometimes before on LP... So far I can say that battery is awesome (~2 days with no root, using WhatsApp on WiFi and 4G/3G, YouTube for ~20 min daily and of course calling+texting)
This update is great 11/10 would recommend it to everyone. The improvements are massive.
I got the OTA update for the Baltics, but will wait for root before updating. Several apps I really need are root dependant.

LG H420 Marshmallow (6.0)
Someone can tell me if the LG Spirit H420 will receive upgrade to Android 6.0 ?
yes new update much better than 5.0 , battery so much improved and much faster than LLP
@Thyago Vergueira well bro i can't answer you .... :/ try LG Support Tool... LG Spirit H420 has different hardware
I've got the notification for OTA update a few weeks ago but didn't apply:
1. OTA will no work because of a bad unroot that marked my device as having been rooted which prevents OTA update
2. Still no root method for Marshmallow
For 1. I could update with official LG Update Tool as I did previously, must be done as full recovery or fix. can't remember the exact option.
For 2. from what I've read in MM this has to be done with custom bootloader
So as we still have a locked bootloader I guess in a near future I won't be updating to MM

Can't you update using LGUP?
Or flash clear android 5.0 with LG flash tool, then update it with OTA?
Try! There must be some way.
Is a nice update i'm so happy but: we can't install applications direct to SDCard and in games is a little bit slow with the update, or is only my phone! ( i can't play Asphalt 8 and Simcity Buildit and somethime the music stop with no reason)

Oreo Update

Samsung announced android oreo update to the note5 next spring, any news if the At&t version will get the update?

That's the joke of the century. I'm highly doubtful since AT&T would rather you upgrade to a newer phone
That also means that new leaked fw could happen for Nougat. A whole new oreo build of android would definitely warrant ATLEAST a userdebug build of nougat right?
^^^The issue is still with the locked bootloader.
