Update for Tmobile L90 (4.4.2 SWV10e) - LG Optimus L90

I was wondering if anyone here updated their T-mobile L90 to the latest version. I just saw the update today and could not find any kind of changelog on T-mobile website so I would like to know if anything changed or if its just a bug fix. Also does doing this OTA update break root access?

Any official OTA update will break root. And it may be impossible to reroot afterwards. TowelRoot works for V10C for sure. PurpleDrake may be able to reroot.

This will definitely break root, and you won't be able to get it back unless you revert or figure out something that no one else has yet. I went back to version c. No changes were apparent otherwise.

It's said that PurpleDrake can root the devices that TowelRoot no longer works with.

Well no thanks to that stunt my mobile data wasn't working at all, had no choice but to wipe my system completely and send it to lg they already sending me back an another phone as we speak, now unless these roms are completely stable to the bone I'm not even going to waste my time with it(no disrepect to the developers but I got to stuff to do on my phone ), I'll just wait on the official android L update.

I was wrong about this. There's also the 'new' knock code unlock.

I upgraded since it looked as though the mod I did to use some USB OTG might work better with the LG update. I lost root, towelroot and Kingo root no longer work and this kinda sucks. I even tried some of the tips on this site to do an emergency reflash of the entire device and I can't even get that to work. The update didn't make the situation better for me.
I should have learned this long ago, just never upgrade until you're absolutely sure you can put it back the way it was. Even the revert software I had mysteriously is no longer on the device.
Next phone will be a gray market model for sure.

Have you tried the lg flash tool? It got me back on version c pretty easily:

None of the Root methods for the D415 aren't working

I recently got this phone repaired from LG and I just got it back, only problem is that I can't root this device no thanks to that recent system update used to fixed my phone. I tried towelroot that obviously didn't work, so I tried purpledrake that didn't work when the phone went to recovery All I saw was a blank black image that's it, and up top of that my Google play music app keeps silently closing out especially when I turn the screen off, can't really play too many games especially Asphalt airborne it force closes, and when I try to move my apps to the SD card most of the time it doesn't even work........ Please help with this!! Please I'm losing my mind over this man.
Same
Im having the same problem! It sucks butt!!
Waiting for a new method, i've tried all known ones with no luck, towelroot, towelpieroot, root master, stump root, z4, purpledrake, weak sauce and so on, no luck seems all known exploits have been patched, the only thing you can do at the moment is downgrade to d41510c the root like always, would do it my self as there were no major changes in the update but waiting to get access to a pc.
Edit: sorry the only method i mention i haven't tried is purpledrake as you need a pc for it but so far eveyone has said it doesn't work.

The only method at the moment is use the lg flash tool and downgrade to d41510c then root with towelroot as usual, on d41510e currently there is no method, the whole update was an exploit fix and pretty much thats all it did for us was fix any known exploits we use. I've been following threads for other devices because they have bounties for an exploit and root method but they're still working at it, alot of the samsung devices got locked up as well. A major change in android L which they got was major exploit fixes, pretty sure that where this whole lg update idea cane from, just we didnt get android 5.0.
Same goes for nexus devices which got the update first, currently they have to root by flashing a modified kernel. I follow the verizon note 4 thread, they have a bounty for an exploit and root method, hope it may help us. Chances are it may not though.
Also nexus and some note 4s use the cf-auto-root method which auto matically flashes and roots for them, that method is device spacific to file needed to download to use it, and requires a pc.

Follow this guide here just use the d41510c firmware instead of d41510e

There's places posted to get the correct one in the threads here just can't find it right off hand. There should be a couple posts about it if you go to the LG Optimus l90 support Web page you'll get the d41510e which is the incorrect one.
Here is the website for the d41510c download.

Just went to the library to see if I can do it my self, wasn't sure because of public computers security if I could, since I have to install drivers and etc it may not let me but was going to give it shot, my luck they're closed, wondering if any one knows if I'll have any luck with that or will the computers security not allow me.

Yes works for t-mobile, have t-mobile my s elf but no cant upgrade again, until some one releases a rooted version of v0e have to stay on v10c. Heres a method to get knock code while still on v10c. That is really the only change between the to besides the root patch fixes.
They have released the source for d410 so hopefully we should be looking at a lollipop upgrade for d415 some time in the future, hoping sooner than later. Till then i wouldnt worry about the upgrade to v10e.

Why shouldn't I just use the KDZ file posted above and flash it with the lg tool and then root it with towelroot?!

Depend which kdz, uf you use the v10e kdz you cant root. Have to use the v10c kdz to root. Knock on code is a new lock screen method implemented in the v10e update, its not necessary just a mod put together for people who want it while staying on v10c so they can root. It alot like tap to wake you use a series of taps, 4 to 8 in a square box thats devided into 4 sections, i prefer it because unlike other lock screen methods you can use it while screen is off like double tap and it just opens to yur home screen. I alsi think its more secure than some other methods.

ME TOO! I'm such a noob, i don't even know if i know how to do a post, but i just downgraded to "10c" and rooted with towelroot and it was very simple. worked like a charm. hmmm what next? unlock the bootloader? install twrp?
thanks to all for the info!
If your bootloader is not already unlocked (which is the case for the L90s with the most recent update apparently), after rooting, follow the information found here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/lg-l90/general/guide-unlock-bootloader-t-mobile-l90-t2836457
Make sure you follow the steps explicitly.

Why do you need a unlocked bootloader? I didn't install TWRP because I just wanted some modifications.... but I'm sure there's twrp for this device!
Enjoy!!
The only real reason to unlock the bootloader and install cwm or twrp is to have a full backup...just in case. Also,for when they start making more ROMs for this device.

VS980 Official 39A OTA rolling ota

The official OTA is rolling out now to VS980 owners.
www.verizonwireless.com/dam/support/pdf/system_update/benefits-lg-g2-3-30-15.pdf
Anyone know if this is the same 39A that was flashable in early March? Ya know, the one that was buggy-as-all-get-out?

i'm pretty sure it is. buggy? i've found it mostly great. there are some oddities like not charging at the right rate that i don't like, but overall it's been fine.

It doesn't matter whether you retain root, or not, 39A is rootable through a fairly simple process.
I couldn't get it to run on my rooted G2. I'm unrooting now and seeing if that works. (I remember a similar situation with the 4.4.2 upgrade)
It is 39 A
Got it this morning. 39A two part update process. So far, I'm loving it. I've thrown my G3 aside. The G2 always seemed to run better. And now the UI is like the G3, down to keyboard, i'm happy for now.

I took the OTA. Now it won't let me turn on wi-fi. I think it may be charging more slowly and running warm, but it's too soon to be sure about that.

Wiping user data fixed it for me back when 39A was first leaked (wiping cache, and dalvik-cache might be a good idea too).
is upgrade available via Verizon Upgrade Tool? Or does that come later? I can't check till I get home.

Weather animation was/is working fine with the leaked 39A OTA. Since VZW doesn't make any coding changes, and presumably they've reviewed the update for about a month...the leak, and official release are the exact same software.

I wiped my phone in recovery (volume down+power while booting). I don't think I have TWRP installed anymore, but I was able to wipe the phone. It's optimizing all the apps now, so it's too soon to say if I've got wi-fi back.

ZV7 Discussion

No, ZV7 is not out yet. But it is in development as indicated by the new RDF.
http://device.sprintpcs.com/LG/LS991-SPRINT/LS991ZV7.rdf
Now I checked a few days ago and this wasn't here. It's also noteworthy that with the H815 getting 6.0 this might be what's coming our way. We saw something similar when ZV8 came out for the G3, it was a different version on the RDF. I'll try and poke the bear, see what I can find out.
In the meantime let the speculation begin!
I wouldn't hold my breath for M --YET-- it's way to soon. Besides inside the rdf file it says 5.1. Probably just additional security updates, and perhaps some additional enhancements like we had with ZV5 & ZV6. I do like your speculation though. ?

With M out already for the global version and it supposedly out in short order afterwards for US... Well, stranger thing have happened.
I just hope the exploits we use to DD the custom ROMs doesn't get patched with 5.1 update, could be a prep for M complete with security fixes. If so I may pass on the update and or M. Just my opinion only time will tell....
OK. G3 is now showing an update ALSO in the works. And what two devices are supposed to get M first for LG?
If that's not M it's a fix that affects them both... Stagefright's already patched so not sure what other big ones are out there.

I probably will too. If you guys haven't heard M will need you to flash a custom boot.img/kernel for root, which I imagine would almost definitely throw a secure boot error for us.

I second that. But, you know, we will always have root. I can't think of a single device that cannot be rooted... even my wifes cricket phone can be rooted and there isn't any forum or development for it.

That might be true. But there are plenty of devices that have never been rooted.
And if you root some new devices on Verizon or AT&T they will boot you off the network.

Yeah the At&t Note 4 does not have root which was one of the reasons I left that device.

Update to lastest ota before converting to stock

Hi, my blu arrived today and i'm already planing on converting to stock. I read that the ota ver 6.4 enables some LTE bands... i probably won't ever use them, but its an adition so... i want to know if i can flash 6.5 (this is the lastest right now) and then flash stock... im affraid i might flash the amazon ota and loose the ability to go back to stock.. is it safe?

Not exactly sure what your asking??
I don't think that you understand the process. Removing the ads means reflashing the entire phone, so any updates that were installed would no longer be there as the images used to reflash do not include any updates.
There was one update that only the amazon version got to make it harder to disable the ads. Both versions of the phone got a July security update pushed but this only works on completely unmodified phones.
The much awaited band 12 update has NOT been released.
Either your source of information is suspect or you are not yet understanding the information. Read carefully in THIS forum to learn what's going on with this phone.

Well that's what I wanted to say, but you know --time and energy
The non prime has not yet received any OTA, only the Prime variant. Non prime still on June security
That's not true. My phone is converted to non-Prime edition and I WAS offered the July security updates. I could not install them because I have twrp, root, and xposed but I was told that an update was available for the non-amazon version. The amazon version of the phone has had TWO updates - the first one to stop turning off the ad server and the second one with the July security updates.

Hmm..
That is what I got after I tried applying the update, just to see what would happen - I knew it wouldn't work with root, twrp, etc. but hoped that I would be able to find the downloaded update file on the phone somewhere. Other people with unmodified phones have reported receiving it. Check near the end of the General Discussion thread - the one that's over 100 pages long.

Your the only one reporting it, that I can find. But hey if they released it great. But the only downloads for OTAs I can find are for the prime. If anyone has an OTA for non prime that updates it from 1.2 please post a link. @ColtonDRG is thinking of merging the July security updates to OEM, but if it's already been released via OTA, someone let him know!! I'm not trying to argue with you, it's just people are getting confused and frustrated already with the different flash methods etc... Don't get me wrong, I would be super stoked if BLU actually supported the non subsidized non prime variant.

I have not received any update. If anyone who has received an update can capture a URL so we can mirror it, that would be super awesome. That said, I still have my doubts about weather such an update exists. Can someone who supposedly has the update tell us their custom build number?

Yes, Colton there was an ota update yesterday. But currently it says "Root has been detected, can not update device". This may be the 4G LTE Update.

Can you post a screenshot to prove this? I'm pretty sure it should attempt to apply an OTA regardless of root (though it will fail if rooted).

Thats just where i modified the build.prop to match model # OTA version check is still R0011UU for OTA updates, but earlier today, i completely reverted to oem stock with factory reset, still no OTA, my OCD made me do it, just to confirm OTAs lol, spent an hour restoring my phone afterwards
Yay, someone else finally got it! No, jloh1963, it wasn't the anticipated band 12 voLTE update, it's just the July security updates. But no one can install it unless they are completely stock and few in this forum probably are.
Colton, it did attempt to apply the update after downloading it and prompting me and, as expected, the update failed. That's why I made that post a week or so ago asking where I might find the failed update. I wanted to save it. But I did a search on the phone and couldn't find anything that looked like it.

Well that's definitely good news, I wonder why I didn't pick it up earlier today, when i reverted to stock?? I'll roll back again and let it sit all day, hopefully I pick it up!! Maybe BLU is learning a thing or two about customer service!!

It is entirely possible that this FOTA program actually does know how to do gradual rollout like most other programs. I assume that's what's going on here.

I understand. Does anyone know how to capture OTA URLs? If so, can you PLEASE look for the update and capture the URL before applying it?

No, as long as the system, boot image, and recovery aren't altered. Re-run the conversion to make sure if you have any doubts

Yeah I did earlier today, reran conversion via spft and reset/wipe to factory. Ran update check but nothing, so I rooted/installed TWRP and restored my current config. I'll reset and let it sit for a day or two, perhaps its a gradual rollout. Will do my best to grab URL
