Update about OTA & FOTA from autoprime - T-Mobile LG G4

http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=61672737&postcount=622
By autoprime
DON'T OTA
going to post this once... please spread the word into the other G4 subforums and any related posts anywhere.
I'm not sure if this is cause for alarm... but just putting the warning out there... based on viewing the latest USCC and T-Mobile files... these recent OTAs for USA carriers seem to be implementing "antirollback" which means you can never "go back" to a lesser version. To simplify things... fresh out of the box all of your phones were at "0" and now after the OTA they're at "1". Both the TMO and USCC KDZ file's are based on the OTA which is a "1" so there's no concern of flashing an older KDZ by mistake... at least for now. Not sure what will happen with future updates.
Can only confirm this on the TMO H811 and USCC US991... Still waiting on Sprint users to grab the OTA URL or zip name for me so I can inspect that... but I suspect all of the recent OTAs from AT&T, Sprint and Verizon also used the "1" update. The European/Asian/Etc variants still seem to be using the "0" version.. even after the recent updates. [Not every OTA will bump up the "version"]
I can't say what this means as a whole just yet... Maybe nothing at all. But perhaps for those who wish to stay at that fresh "0" for now... try your best to avoid the OTA update. I know the intl phones can disable updates but this option has been removed in USA variants. There are talks of an app that allows you to disable apks on your phone... I haven't used it myself but perhaps for those who want to maybe block the OTA app (LGDMSClient.apk)... worth checking out. This is said app: http://forum.xda-developers.com/andr...bloat-t2998294
apks to attempt to disable:
/system/priv-app/LGDMSClient/LGDMSClient.apk (not in all phones)
/system/priv-apps/LGUpdateCenter/LGUpdateCenter.apk
Again.. I don't really know what any of this means just yet... just reporting what I do know. Spread the word.
And for those who were forced to OTA.. or saying this post has come too late.. everyone knows to never ever OTA.. and the app to disable OTA has been around for a bit now. I'm sorry but..
Cross fingers and hope I'm wrong
Phones with "v1" status confirmed:
H811 10H
US991 10C

Seems to work
Thanks for the heads-up. Tried this on my H811 and it seemed to work. It is not able to block the apps, but it can disable them. Hopefully that is enough to stop an OTA.
I did get a message from ES File Explorer that the LG World app had been removed and asked me if I wanted to delete it's folder. So that is a good sign.
After reboot the Update Center in app settings has all options, including force stop, grayed out. So that leads me to believe that it is no longer running. Also, all changes stuck per the debloater program after reboot. :good:
Quick question: How do we tell if the phone has taken an OTA update? This generation has been pretty sneaky about running updates without asking thus far. I am currently on build LMY47D, but I am not sure if that is any different than what originally came on the phone.

For T-Mobile the software version of the latest update is H81110h. Find this under software, in About Phone. If you have that you took the FOTA/OTA from T-Mobile.

Well damn, looks like I was a bit too late. At least I can avoid the next one.

I have the latest software. It didnt ask me just installed it, before I even got phone setup.

I purchased my g4 the evening before the pre-order for tmobile started .... So may 27th ish early. The girl on The phone said i was The first one to order it. Got it 3days later. When i first powered it on i was careful to not let it update, Which it didn't. Since I've had the phone it has never updated. When i checked software version I'm on h811 10h of lmy47d. I think it came installed with 10h.

But my point was that I received one of the first ones that were commercially available in the United States. I was three first person to get one thru t mo pre-order. Right the second they became available, and it was 10h

Those greedy bastards just dont want us to experience happiness. (i.e. root, unlock boot). They want us to just be calm in their regime, so they can 'monitor' what we 'do'. Lg......jeez Its just a damn phone, gimme the unlock bin.

got mine on the 8th, before i walked out of the store it was updating to 10h (didnt know about this till now). i think the sales girl did the update while she had it in her grubby little hands
so if i understand, once you get to 10h you cant go back a version, is that right? didnt this same thing happen with the g2?

It auto updates during the setup process unfortunately. I'm sure she didn't care much about it. I'm a rep and I'm pretty sure nobody that is a rep besides me (out of everyone is talked to) knows much about stuff like this. I'm annoyed that we don't have the unlocked bootloader like the g3. :/

Just purchased a G4 myself and saw it updating at the counter. Pretty sure it updates during the setup process and we have no choice. Current software version in my hands is H81110h. Is this not the original version? Do we have a KDZ in which is older that we can attempt to use to go backwards? Thanks!

Original was whatever it says on the box label next to "S/W:". Most phones shipped with 10d.

Got the new Android 2.0.1 on my G1

Hey Guys, did anyone else get the update for the new android 2.0.1 notification on their phone.
I just got it and i started downloading it...
Really? post the log so we can get the download link
http://i6.photobucket.com/albums/y225/Makaveli6924_7/2009-12-29-144007.jpg
How do i get the log?
Why put this in this section?
why does it say for motorola droid??
This thread is putting my BS meter into overdrive. Of course, its also putting my stupidity meter into overdrive too LOL
~DM
That's why i posted my question here to see if anyone else got the notification, it's weird man.. what do you think is happening, i have a rooted phone also?
What rom did you have when you received the update notfication?
I have the first 1.6 root, i can't remember who made the rom.
http://i6.photobucket.com/albums/y225/Makaveli6924_7/2009-12-29-153540.jpg
I might not too sure then. You could try it and see if it works and check if the camera works. Although I can't be held responsible if anything goes wrong. Try and look up on how to get a log so we can also get a link to the ota update.
Not really possible if you ask me. It's from Verizon, which shouldn't hit your phone unless you're on their network from what I understand and that isn't possible because Dreams don't support CDMA.
As for the update, it would be much larger than 10.2MB, which means what you're downloading is the update to go from 2.0 on a DROID to 2.0.1.

if he has root, he shouldn't be getting ota updates, should he?
it makes me suspicious because it gives the verizon site and refers to the phone as "your Motorola DROID"
I wouldn't touch that "update" with a 10ft pole! Either fake, he forced the download, or something seriously messed up is going on, but that does not look to be a legit update for the G1.

You can still get OTA updates with root, it just depends on what ROM you use. I believe very old CyanogenMOD and other ROMs had OTA still turned on.
OP - While you're posting pictures, can we see a picture from under Settings > About Phone? Be sure to include firmware version :]
My guess would be that his build.trout.prop has the droid fingerprint/keys/device id in it, or he is using a droid build.prop and he will most likely soft brick his device. I hope there is no radio update, so it doesn't get true bricked.

Yeah, I never asked to be on a soak test or anything... so I dunno if I was just randomly chosen or if it was released today... I suppose it doesn't really matter. Either way, it's pretty nice I guess A bit late given the fact that JB is the 'new hotness' now

JB doesn't really mean anything. it's an incremental update and I'd be willing to bet some devs whip together a ROM with it included. There's still a chance we'll get it officially for our phone. A SLIGHT chance, but because its only an incremental update, with no new real requirements, it's a decent possibility.
Moto originally committed to 18 months of updates. We basically have until late next year to get it. By then, Klondike will be out and everyone will hate.
I got the update for mine but didnt do it. Mainly because I am rooted and wanted to see if I can first. Only thing I did was root so I can use wifi teather. I left everything else alone. I used to put diff roms in my original droid and got sick of setting it up again.
Were you rooted when you did the update? If so did was there any issues?

I'm not the OP, but I was rooted using the MotoFail exploit and the update applied without issue. I did have to re-acquire root with Razr's Edge, however, but that was painless.

I am rooted... I used OTA Rootkeeper to backup and restore root afterwards. I made sure to update the su binary as well from the superuser application as I had read some horror stories about people who lost root and couldn't get it back due to outdated superuser.apk and/or su binaries.
Additionally, my first attempt to install failed... I believe it was because I had added lines to loadpreinstalls.sh and mount_ext3.sh in /system/bin to ensure that the 'adb always root' local.prop file and the su binary was copied back into /data/ and /system/bin respectively every time I booted in case I lost root somehow. I had to remove the extra lines and then start over.
--Randall
Historically, how long before the update is widespread? My phone doesn't see it yet.
Folks, just an FYI.
The full XML.zip of fastboot images for this build has already been released in the development section by Skrillaz_CZ.
This not only means that you dont have to wait for the update at all, but also that we have the best safeguard against any mishaps from modding and flashing possible. You can recover your phone to the current release build no matter what happens using RSD Lite or the fastboot binary and ADB.
Incredibly quick work by Skrillax_CZ to pull this off their server right away like this!

[Q] Received OTA but cancelled and no OTA now (Update: received it)

[Q] Received OTA but cancelled and no OTA now
Hi, I have the Moto G XT1063. Some minutes ago I received the OTA for Lollipop 22.21.25.en.us version . I started to download it, but I wanted to grab the link using my PC as hotspot and using Wireshark but when I cancelled it I was told to go to System/Check updates to update it again later, and when I tried to update it again I got the message saying "Yout device is up to date". I tried different Wi-FI networks, USB update via Motorola Device Update but no update found.
Did this happened to any of you? Could you resolve it? How?
Thank you!
I got the OTA notification on my XT1064 earlier today at lunch. I am rooted (TWRP, Xposed, debloted) so I know it would fail anyhow, so I cancelled it...I am counting on the fact that we will have CM or slim for the phone soon.
I had the same thing happen to me for the last update when I was on vacation a few weeks ago. I had spotty hotel WiFi so I decided to cancel and try again later. Still haven't had a second chance.
Wow, WEEKS? I've already waited 6 weeks. I thought I would get the update in a day again but it doesn't look like I will.
I guess we will have to wait until the official version comes. I like how Motorola keeps their phones updated but their way of updating them is horrible and they have really dissapointed me. I hate the rollout being in phases and on top of that when I finally received the OTA after more than a month waiting and tried to update it later I cannot get it anymore! They must be joking! Besides, I don't know why they take so long! What's the mystery Motorola?
They keeping everything in secret god knows why or 2 russian engineers.
Even who is invited to soak test shouldnt talk about the update. I think they hate Europeans, because the difference between the two device (the EU version and the US one) is minimal.

Motorola does the same stage rollout update methods as Google, although personally I find Google to be much worse.
They do this to steady the flow of updates (to save their servers some stress), and to catch early bugs that are noticed by the first or second 'pool' of users.
Apple does this right in my opinion. Once an update is pushed, every single supported iOS device can update immediately.
Patience. We just need patience
It's only software...
Found a solution!
The same thing happened with me when we get the first sw update (stock launcher - Google Now launcher) I tried a lot but I was not able to update it. After 2 months I did a factory reset & then tried to do a system update & it worked I again got an option to do software update!

Sorry but I don't find what you've said as a solution. I definately don't believe that waiting 2 months after you received the update is a solution. I think that you got the OTA for a second time.
I will not do any factory reset: doing a factory reset DOES NOT do anything. In fact it changes an unique Google ID that Motorola uses to update their mobiles phones and could actually reduce your chances to receive the OTA. This was explained by a Google engineer- So for anyone reading this DO NOT FACTORY RESET your phone. Let's just wait; we are already in the batch-
You all can force OTA.
Go to settings => Apps => All => Find google service framework.
Clear cache and data of it, stop the service & then reboot the phone. Then again try to check for update.
Do it couple of times if did not work on 1st try.

NO! That's actually the same as doing a factory reset or even worse. It's a myth proved wrong. Just google "google engineer OTA" and you'll see how the rollout is done. I can't post links because I'm new here.

Finally I got it today. It didn't show up as a notification but I checked for updates and Lollipop 5.0.2 was there! Jumped from 4.4.4 to 5.0.2 (412.3 MB). It's very nice. I believe Motorola is rolling it out officially since it showed up in the System updates check.

They know because it says on the Ping Pong Root thread not to update for anything past May 15th as the method for root has been patched
I'm curious if there are any other undocumented changes besides the 2 official changes listed earlier. It feels like a fairly big patch for a fix to an phone location and a kernel security fix.

AT&T Software Update is the main one, but there are a few others - I don't have an AT&T ROM on mine right now to help out, but it's been posted a few times already (I think I even posted those once)
Just freeze att software update. Then it can't even run so no downloads. I got lucky I clicked on update after reading it in Android central but didn't want to install it. Postponed couple of times but somehow it automatically loaded the update process. I was like sh#t. When it booted up it said a problem updating. And then I blocked the updater. My root almost gone lol

New Nexus 6 with no available updates (stuck on old 5.1)

Hello guys. Just bought 2 days a go a new Nexus 6. Blue with 32Gb, unlocked.
Tottaly sealed, broke the seal myself, straight from Google.
But the phone says it is updated, and finds no new update. Im on LMY47D with Android 5.1 and I dont even receive 5.1.1
Tried factory reset without SIM Card, cleaning Framework and reboot without card, everything. To no avail.
Any idea what is going on? Shouldnt I get at least Android 5.1.1?
PS: I know I can sideload it, but still, something is clearly wrong, and I would like very much to sort it out.
Thank you very much.
Same issue here. Only I'm on 5.0 and can't find any update and I would prefer to not sideload already.
if you want your phone to check for an update, you have to be on WiFi. if in youre on network instead, itll always say up to date.
I'm on wifi. It still shows no update.
Same situation, on Wifi offcourse.

Try a factory reset, then remove your carrier SIM and power up on WiFi. My bet is that your N6 will start churning through OTAs in sequence. Not sure that you will get all the way to Marshmallow 6.0, because that last OTA is still being rolled out.
Already did it... waste of time, no updates
If your not willing to simply download and flash the images from googles website, that is your choice... but there is nothing to do but wait.
Hi Guys I am in the same boat, brand new n6 on 5.0.1 and saying up todate . In uk and carrier is Virgin if that helps.

Personally I was like you all. I got my nice shiny new n6 from verizon (free upgrade...) Got it home kept pressing check for updates. Tried all the clearing app data from frameworks and all that.
But in the end I sideloaded it. I documented it over on the OTA url post. It is not that hard, just need some time. If you don't want to wait it might be your only option.
Total time invested was probably 1.5 hours. Downloaded all the files to my laptop and started using WUGFresh.
Stop waiting and update manually? It's not difficult, you can even save your userdata by not flashing it. There are different (and possibly easier) ways to install an update other than sideloading. especially when you can skip all the OTAs and flash directly to 6.0.
No need for a tool kit and it won't take much longer than the time it takes for you to download the factory image and extract the files.
The point is that there might be something wrong with Google's OTA servers.
Or maybe something is wrong about these phones ?

Thats my point exactly. What if theres something wrong with the phone?
Google should clarify why old updates are not being delivered... not even questioning 6.0, but 5.1.1
same issue on new nexus 6 of my girlfriend. I manually sideloaded up to 5.1.1 (it's the international version) and now she's waiting for 6.0

Why is Google not delivering OTA updates to these N6 owners ?

Because there were a couple of security updates between 5.1.1 and 6.0 (as far AS I remember on my N6) and because I want to be sure OTA works!
This issue is becoming more and more coomon. Lot's of people complaining on several forums about this issue.
At least its easy to see something is clearly wrong with the OTA's, since no one is getting any. There is people stuck on 5.0, 5.0.1, 5.1, etc whichever came preinstalled stays without updates.
