[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

I'm another victim of this. Have someone found a solution? I'm desperated. And sad, I feel scammed.

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

Help upgrading from 4.1.2 to 4.4.2

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...

Need some advice and help...

Hello. I hope you can help me resolve some issues...
I have the samsung sgh-i747m version. I originally had it rooted on stock 4.4.2 and working with a knowroaming sim. The knowroaming sim would either connect to Rogers, Telus or Bell depending on the signal strength. Mainly Bell in my case. Anyways, I use the sim for whatsapp and it was giving me issues. Namely, notifications would stop working after the phone sits for a while. I read that it might be a problem with 4.4.2 so I decided to update it to 6.0.1. Reason I chose 6.0.1 is because the guide uses the same recovery as I do (CWM) and I'm guessing that since most development has moved on to 7.1, 6.0.1 should be stable?
Anyway, I flashed the ROM and everything seems to work fine except my knowroaming sim no longer works. In other words, it doesn't connect to any network Rogers, Telus, or Bell. For some reason, when I go search for networks, it always says no networks found. So I popped in my Telus sim from my other phone and it connected to the network fine but again, searching for networks shows no networks. I think knowroaming doesn't connect because it can't find any networks either. So I spent some hours looking to see what the problem is and some of the jargon is starting to confuse me and making me hate Samsung for the things they do.
I managed to download an app called Phone Info *Samsung* and I will list the information here and maybe you can tell me what is going on:
If you have any suggestions on what I should do to get the network providers showing up, then I'm all ears. If updating to a 7.1.2 rom will fix this issue, I'll gladly do it.
Thanks.

Nobody?

Replace Cwm with twrp and try a different custom ROM?

I tried the octa-m rom 7.1.2 and still the same thing. I'm going to go back to stock and try again.

Help with updating ATT branded Note4 on Tmobile.

I've got a friend who purchased an unlocked Note4 with ATT branding and software. She uses it on Tmobile. I noticed recently while googling that it looks like currently note4 on ATT is on marshmallow. However, when i try updating the phone it says its already up to date. The phone is currently on 5.1.1. Not sure why it's not updating. Could it be because it's on Tmobile as the carrier since its an ATT branded phone? How would I go about updating it?

I was in the same situation, and discovered an XDA thread that allowed me how to update my note4.
It's as simple as downloading the official at&t updates onto your sdcard and apply onto your phone.
It's a long thread, but well worth the read:

I really appreciate the hint. i just recently got a new note4 (obvioulsy im not in the U.S) and cant get updates like you. Im very new to samsung (mod,flashed the shaiza out of my m8 and nexus 7, but this is new territory)
when i saw the link you shared it has the following
EPH5 to EPH7.
DOI9-to-EPH5
DOI7 to EPH5
DOI6-to-EPH5
i dont see DOI2.
can you please help me out with a few more hints as to what you did to get the latest update available... (i know about placing the files on sd and bootlader, select update etc)
but do i have to manually install every update to reach the last one?

I guess you didn't make it to page 161
Start with page 161, then go back to the 1st page of the thread and download all updates/patches.

I performed every step one-at-a-time.
Another option is to utilize ODIN (software) to jump steps, but it requires windows.
I don't do windows
Remove the back cover (so the phone doesn't overheat), and take your time...it will take a while

you Godsend! thanks for confirming. will get back to reading -->

Another way to update AT&T devices on that aren't on AT&T is to get an AT&T SIM (99¢ on the AT&T GoPhone site), activate it on GoPhone but don't add any funds. The unfunded SIM won't let you make calls, send texts or use AT&T data but it will let you get OTA updates on WiFi.

HTC One M8 carrier/signal problem after stock rom install

Hi there.
I've got a SH Htc One M8 from someone. All that i know about the phone is that it had Android 4.4.4 version when i got it. I managed to upgrade the software to 5.1. But I read that Htc One M8 can be upgraded to 6.0 version. I couldn't do it (software is up to date message), so i went to a service and asked then to do it. After i got it back, i saw that when i start the phone, a Sprint logo is showing which was something new. After some time i found here updates to 7.1 (crdroid, aosp or aokp....) and they worked fine. (didn't notice the signal problem). But i love very much Sense Home so i wanted to get back to 6.0 stock version. I didn't knew anything about CID, MID, hboot then... After some reading, i managed to install 6.0 version with CID from Sprint. The problem is that my phone is LTE capable (should work over 4G network) but as i can see, it works only with GSM/UMTS Only (I still don't know if i got these right)... Also, I was traveling from Romania to Holland and in Holland i was able to make phone calls but i wasn't able to use mobile data as i could in Romania. Everything works fine if I insert SIM in another phone from Holland so its not the SIM/Carrier. All settings are ok in the HTC (roaming, data in roaming...) so the phone is ok. I out of ideas. I don't know the original CID and MID. The charger that came with this phone was english. Any ideas?

So what you are saying, is that you can't get LTE (4G), but you aren't sure whether you had 4G on the custom ROMs (CRDroid, AOSP, etc.) or not?

Well, i wrote a lot of details.... The issue is that i couldnt use mobile internet in other european country. And i dont understand why i cant use LTA/CDMA network mode nowhere even if my phone is capable. Could it be the Sprint OS?

I remember having a similar issue and ended up reverting back to sense os myself

Try searching for Network Operators, and then create a new APN: T-Mobile US, fast.t-mobile.com, with APN type: default,supl,mms. I deleted and recreated the APN and my mobile data started working again. Creating new seems to work better for me than the default after reset.
