[Q] LG G3: Problem upgrading to 10L

Last week, LG G3 notified me of software upgrade, I was running 10i at that time. So I went ahead and upgraded. I was expecting to get 10L but somehow it upgraded from 10i to 10J. So now I am running V10J-SEA-XX. I am not able to get OTA update as it shows that I am running the latest version which is not true. It shows last update on 24th Oct 2014. I am in India, phone was purchased from Dubai.
In hope to get 10L, I installed the LG Mobile Software Tool and to my pleasant surprise, it showed me an upgrade. I started the upgrade process, it download 1136.13MBytes of upgrade and started upgrading my phone. It failed in first attempt and it prompted me to remove battery, restart and press retry button which I did.
On Second attempt, everything went smooth, phone was rebooted in the firmware download mode, I could see 0-100% progress and the entire upgrade completed as expected.
However, when phone was restarted, I see that I am still on the same software, V10J-SEA-XX. It even shows last update on 24th Oct 2014 ( OTA date). I restarted LG Mobile Software Tool and it again shown the update available. When I choose to upgarde, it again downloaded the same 1136.13MBytes file. This time upgrade process completed in first time itself. Unfortunately, I am still on the same version.
Any help will be appreciated.

I read on the thread somewhere exactly same issue as yours and someone suggested that u should change your port to 41...

Well, I saw a few threads, not sure the one you suggested but that solution is possibly applicable if the device was not recognized. Here I could see the progress on both LG tool and mobile so both are communicating fine. Pls correct me if I am wrong.
Anyway, changed the port to COM41 and trying again.
Update: Repeated the entire procedure with COM41. This solution doesn't work. I am still on the same V10J-SEA-XX.

Bump...can anyone help?
Thanks

Same Problem
Hi there sorry I can't help but I have the same problem.
Live in the UK but purchased an SEA version. Didn't realise it would cause me such an issue.
Unfortunately, I don't want to root my phone as it will possibly disable my Barclays Bank Mobile Banking app which is pretty useful to me.
My only hope is that LG will upgrade the SEA version to L when it does all the other regions as well.

I am fine with rooting if that solves an issue. Any lead?

I just received an OTA update but it only updated to v10K, strangely no v10L yet.

contacted lg
Someone asked lg uae this question and what they have said is that the v10j or which ever one youve got for the region of ur phone is the same as the other regions' v10L or v10n and it isnt more advanced than ur version of v10...
(I cant post links because i am a new user)
Evidence is on the LG UAE twitter @lggulf approx 25 postd down
I live in uae and my g3 updated to 10k today

G4 Stuck in Encryption mode.

Hi I bought a refurbished LG G4 and I set it up and used it for one day and it was great. But I went into the about section and noticed that it wasn't running Android 6.0 yet so I connected it to LG bridge and updated it through the program. Next thing I know after it finished updating it booted into encryption mode asking for a password. I try enter something and it goes to 29 attempts out of 30 if I try it again it just stays there and doesn't change or or go below 29 it has now randomly changed into Chinese too.
I contacted the company I bought it off and explained it to them and said there should have been an explanation in my package. But there wasn't.
It's not allowing me to boot into recovery and I have no idea what to do.
I used this phone for one day and spent a lot of money on this phone and I have no idea what I can do to fix this situation.

not sure if flashing stock firmware will help... now the question is what version of android has right now.?
you can try the back to stock guide... not sure if it will erase everything .. but if you going to downgrade lets say you took the last update antiroll back 3 you can only downgrade to a firmware that its the same antiroll back version.. the last update from my variant its v3.. so ask first... then download firmware flash an d hope its wipes all and start from scrath..

It says on the website that it's running Android 5.1.
I tried the KDZ method last night and I would get and error when the upgrage was at 9%.
It's a refurbished phone, if that makes all the difference?

not sure, you best bet is to post that problem in that thread and provide all info and pic of error..

Use LGUP or LG FLASH TOOL 2014 for going back to the same kdz u were on? Also try to remember when u bought the phone did it had update center when u go into "about" u didnt try OTA via wifi?

Huawei watch stuck on 1.3

Hi, hoping I could get some help.
I just got a huawei watch and cannot get it to update. It is on version 1.3xxxx. When I try to update it, it says it's already the latest version. Hopefully I'm just overlooking something very obvious as right now I feel stuck in the mud. Thanks for your help in advance!

Same issue here! Own the watch from 4 days now.

Same for me
An idea ?

Ok, i updated my watch with success. I believe that the OTA don't work because my watch is a refurbished one and the OTA system think that my watch is already up to date.
Here's how to update, it's easy:
You have to do an adb sideload of the OTA files:
Tutorial here:
http://phandroid.com/2016/03/02/huawei-watch-marshmallow/
You have to flash this file first if you are stuck in LCB43B:
http://android.googleapis.com/packa...866b47.signed-sturgeon-MEC23L-from-LCB43B.zip
After the reboot, continue with:
https://android.googleapis.com/pack.../6bae896422cb963c01b479eea9838f1b1b0d705e.zip
After that update the OTA worked normally.
Hope this help.

Thanks for starting this thread! I think all the people stuck on older firmware are Canadians with refurbs from newegg (incl me)? However, I am not sure how being refurb has anything to do with it.
My watch did update once from the version it came with, but kept on saying its up-to-date after that. I guess flashing stock image is the only way to go.

The issue with flashing the stock image is that you have to unlock the bootloader, and after that it seems that you loose the warranty.
Better flashing OTA if you want to stay stock. I bought my refurb from newegg.ca too.

Same problem.
Then I took your advice and it worked out great, and without changing the bootloader, thank you so much ndompierre :good::victory:

I got my newegg refurb yesterday and could not force the OTA despite resetting and checking multiple times. This afternoon it updated to marshmallow.
Each time time it reboots, I check for updates. I am currently receiving my fourth update of the day.
I guess each security patch has to be downloaded separately. I'm up to August so far..

Blackout while updating to Nougat

I have the 1635-03 variant of MZP. I just successfully restored the stock firmware (RETCN_6.0.1) and immediately after launched the update to 7.0.1 Nougat. downloaded and promoted to install, began installation. phone reboot, update installing then bam.. a total blackout.. black screen; unable to boot or even enter fastboot..
Don't know what happened :crying::crying::crying:
Please help me find out what happened
(Still got a valid warranty, but have unlocked the bootloader, so don't think they'll accept to take it back)

Hey.. Sorry that I'm the one to break the bad news, but you just hard bricked your moto z play. If you downgraded to MM when you have already had the April Nougat Patch, and upgraded back to nougat then it'll turn the phone into a paper weight. Theres other post on xda of people reporting the problem. No fixes as of right now. You'll have to sit on it till a solution comes up.
