I cannot get the update in Oakland California
[LG Revolution] patsoxfan:
No update Boston Area

Any chance we are all on business accounts instead of family accounts?
[LG Revolution] indyred99:
I'm out in Chicopee mass. Got the update in western Mass
[LG Revolution] PinkyTheDevil:
Strange how it could be out in a few counties only. I would think the bay area should have gotten it quickly. I wonder how the ota push works?
[LG Revolution] Beamer9408:
Virginia beach Virginia no update and I'm on family plan
[LG Revolution] shilohdrummer:
no update in southern california....
[LG Revolution] ybrian:
I'm on a family plan
[LG Revolution] bwhxeon:
so cal irvine area got the update on monday.
[LG Revolution] Bait-Fish:
Odd. On Halloween, in Cerritos, I reverted to stock and got immediate zv6 upgrade download without even going to settings. zv7 came automatically too.

The only thing I can think of is my phone has never been on vz6 before. Are the people who are having trouble ones who downgraded from zv6 to 4 and then rooted?
[LG Revolution] ybrian:
I've never had zv6 before. Started with zv4. Rooted and installed Revolt 1.3.
[LG Revolution] PinkyTheDevil:
I downgraded from v6 to root and flash revolt 1.5 beforehand.
[LG Revolution] patsoxfan:
I only went to v6 with lgnpst after I did not get the update
[LG Revolution] Zoookle:
Try Making sure you Have your wifi turned OFF I know I have missed an OTA because of that. Also you could always bring it to verizon to update, Probably don't want to be rooted for that though ;)
[LG Revolution] Bait-Fish:
Regarding my comment regarding downgrading or not versus getting the OTA push, it was a shot in the dark. Seems there's no correlation.
[LG Revolution] mtmichaelson:
Ok, that's the first time I've ever seen a double post 25 minutes apart lol.
[LG Revolution] Bait-Fish:
Hahaha, seriously!

After the first attempt, got an error saying it would take a repost of the same. Weird. Guess the server or Tapatalk changed its mind.
[LG Revolution] jdleider:
I'm in Boston and was able to downgrade to zv4 just fine. The phone then updated to zv6 ota just fine as well. However when I check for an update to vz7 the phone always comes back saying that there is no newer software updates. Anyone have any ideas? Perhaps a copy of zv7 that I could just flash myself after rooting this stock zv6? I suppose I could just try to flash gingervolt right on top of vz6 but there is a strong warning against that.

Thoughts ?
[LG Revolution] shilohdrummer:
I don't see why we couldn't have flashed a stock z7 and then flash gingervolt.

I'm so anxious to feel gingervolt but this update isn't coming!!
[LG Revolution] jdlaser:
Not here

Can't get the v7 update here. Phone was originally on v6 when I got it, went to v4, rooted it and was running revo1.5. Downgraded to v4 and got the v6 update OTA but no V7. I'm in Huntington Beach CA. I was told the store in Santa Ana can upgrade for me, the tech said that store has the files needed. He couldn't tell me how the push was being done but thinks it is normal to take weeks to get it rolled out.
[LG Revolution] patsoxfan:
Stopped at my local verizon store. They told me it was being dispersed by serial numbers by lg and they could not upgrade it for me.

One thing I have noticed when checking status on my software update is states

Source Verizon wireless

status service unavailable

Code 503

date nov 4

time 9:46

---------- Post added at 12:31 PM ---------- Previous post was at 11:55 AM ----------

Contacted LG by their online chat. Looks like they are as clueless as verizon

Jorge: Hello Wayne Smith. Welcome to LG Electronics U.S.A.! How may I provide you with excellent service today?

Wayne Smith: Hello

Wayne Smith: I understand there was a software upgrade to my LG Revolution I have not recieved it as of yet

Jorge: I am sorry to hear about this.

Jorge: Unfortunately the update for android 2.3 is not ready yet for the revolution.

Wayne Smith: I am still on the original software

Wayne Smith: I am wondering also why some peolple have the 2.3 update

Jorge: checking the latest version

Jorge: That phone is not listed in the update tool yet

Jorge: Sorry

Wayne Smith: i am on v4 is that the lateset?

Jorge: YEs

Wayne Smith: so when verizon told me there is an update to v6 and v7 they are incorrect?

Jorge: did you try to update the phone from the menu of the phone.

Wayne Smith: yes states there is no update also if you click status it says service unavailible

Jorge: Let us try a Hard Reset to see if it helps solve the issue. While your phone is on, take out the battery. Now you would want to wait 10 seconds and then you would want to put the Battery back into the phone. Power the phone back on and let me know if this has helped in any way to solve the issue.

Jorge: Try to check for updates again

Wayne Smith: nothing

Jorge: You will need to take the phone to the Verizon store.

Jorge: The latest version is VS910ZV6.TOT

Wayne Smith: ok I was just there and they stated I would need to contact lg because the updates were OTA only and were being pushed by LG

Jorge: I can tell that they are wrong on that

Wayne Smith: ok well thanks for your time and just to let you know I am disapointed in both Verizon and LG

Jorge: It has been a pleasure to assist you today. Should you have any further questions or concerns, please do not hesitate to contact us again via Live Chat or phone at 18002430000. Thank you for choosing LG Electronics. We appreciate your business. Have a great day!
[LG Revolution] :
Still no update...

Just got off the line with Verizon CS and they said the 2.3 GB update is rolling out over the next few weeks and that if I don't have it by 11/21 to contact them again...looks like some of us have to wait a while before joining the GVolt party bus....
[LG Revolution] Haro912:
That's gay...
[LG Revolution] patsoxfan:
I have been on the phone with verizon at first the tech stated that v6 was the latest. After a few minutes (he must have a phone) he said oh there is something about v7 update.

So now they will send a replacement phone.

Are you receiving a new or refurbished phone
[LG Revolution] patsoxfan:
Most likely a refurbished phone but the warranty carries
[LG Revolution] adrenaline_rush:
I am also stuck on v6 here :/
[LG Revolution] jamRwoo:
=[

I'm sick of Froyos...I don't even know what a Froyo is...i want Gingerbreads.

Are there really that many Revo owners?
[LG Revolution] powder007:
Maybe this has been asked, but if we root using esteem method on v6 can we just flash MT's Gingervolt?? Has anyone tried it? Wipe data/cache and go?
[LG Revolution] S.Meezy:
DON'T DO THAT. Sorry for the caps, but its that serious...

[LG Revolution] jphillips.hd88:
does anyone havethe update zip that they can post of the z7? I went down to z4 and it will not pull the update to z6...so I canlgsp to v6 and install z7 in stock recovery....

To add...i was stock z7 before, and retrograded to get wifi before the gingervolt was done...like by an hour...
[LG Revolution] powder007:
Well no, i wasn't going to until i got an answer, but most people that say they've had a problem i've seen, said they went from 4 to 7 and got a lot of reboots and just in general i was unstable. Hadn't seen anyone really address going from v6 unless i just completely missed it. But thanks for the reply. LG hasn't rolled the update out to my phone yet so i'm playing the really really really impatient waiting game with it.

That being said, if someone wants to do a backup with cwm of gingerbread or gingervolt and dropbox it to me, i will be more than happy to try and wipe data/cache and restore your backup after rooting with esteem and flashing cwm with revotoolkit. Anyone willing to do that, or has it been tried already?
[LG Revolution] Techluv:
Update issue..

Hi Guys...I've been following CLOSELY to all the threads in the dev forum as well as the general discussion about all this...SOO I saw how some people were saying how they weren't getting the update after going back to stock...So I decided to take the plundge and revert back since I know that my area is pushing the updates.

So followed everything that I've been reading to the letter...successful.

Go to check the updates.....It's there and ready for download.

Downloads and reboots to install the update......Goes into stock revo recovery installs the package about half way based on the yellow progress bar then...BAM!

I get a triangle with an exclaimation point and it stops, reboots back into OS, then throws up an update message saying that the update failed!

Anyone have any guesses or insights as to why this might be happening? I tried it with debugging both on and off.

uninstalled root required apps such as wifi hotspot, revotoolkit, ect......still no love..

Tried re-running the update again to download....still same error...Thoughts? :confused:
[LG Revolution] jrf28:
Do you have the stock boot animation or is it the Droid bionic one from revolt?
[LG Revolution] Techluv:
It was the stock animation....Restored the stock boot.img and system.img...

However...I'm past that now....I did a system factory reset on the thing and it still gives me the same installation error on the update.....It WANTS to update but during the intall it just fails half-way through! :confused: :(

**update question**

Should I try downloading the update through wifi??

I've been doing it through 4G this whole time.

**Update #2**

So I tried running the push update using WiFi, still no love..... I did the factory data reset, but I'm still rooted, right? Could being rooted still be causeing the problem? I didn't think it would.

Looks like it's coming down to 1 of 2 choices: call Verizon and turn this phone in stating that it's not updating properly and want a new one....OR just except defeat and go back to 2.2 with revolt rom... :mad:

OKAY....I WILL NOT LET THIS BEAT ME.... ;)

I made a back up image of my entire ORIGINAL setup before flashing any roms....

I'm going to load CWR back on, flash the original backup of my entire stock image and see if THAT does the trick.
[LG Revolution] Techluv:
Okay...I've finally reached success with getting the update to go through.. Not sure what was going on there, but end result was that I had to download the stock rom zip from here for it to jive.

The V6 update is what got pushed....but now it's telling me "no updates". So it seems that I'm in that vortex that many of you are talking about. No GingerLuv for me at this point in time still. Guess I need to be more patient.

.....or have I missed the Ginger boat?
[LG Revolution] borborpa:
That was tried by me, and it failed miserably. Would boot to the "choose your language" screen, then reboot and loop.
[LG Revolution] Zoookle:
This baffled me for the longest time... until I went to California on vacation over the summer. FROYO is FROzen YOgurt you can put almost anything you want on it, candy, cookies, ANYTHING!

Ok

Today I received my replacement phone. I noticed in the account menu for verizon wireless there is a device id (this is whats interesting) the number was 1 number off from my phone. I went to update and it change the number to the correct one and blamo! The first update started.....:eek: Now the second one has started Going to call and return the replacement:cool:
[LG Revolution] fearsparks:
Can anyone confirm this? I logged into verizonwireless.com but I'm not seeing an account menu with a device id listed. I need gingervolt! Lol
[LG Revolution] Zoookle:
Tell me about it! Only here do people call soda "Pop".

[LG Revolution] DelFrogo:
I finally updated to gingerbread. I was the one that updated to V6 lost root and did the downgrade tip with lgnpst and was running 1.5 revolt until i found a post by jackpot08. He has the V7 gingerbread .tot. All i did was replace the V4 .tot from the downgrade with V7 and I upgraded easily!
[LG Revolution] :
skin.dll error with LGNPST

I followed the instructions for installing the v7 tot precisely but now when launching LGNPST I get an error saying "fail to load skin.dll" Anyone have a solution?
[LG Revolution] Madert:
Can not Gingerbread

Sup guys. Long time lurker.

I tried applying the gingerbread TOT patch as per the dev. forum. The process went without a hitch, but when i was finished, i was unrooted, as expected, but when i checked my android version, i was still in froyo. I've tried OTS and i update to V6. But it's still Froyo. 2.2.2

I then tried a back up, a complete wipe, followed by V6 TOT and i still am not in gingerbread. Any ideas?

I know this post is slightly off topic, but on the first page the creator was talking about his success with Gingerbread and was hoping others here could share their experience.
[LG Revolution] majorpay:
V6? Gingerbread is V7
[LG Revolution] emschwar:
I don't have a Windows PC available; is there a way to install this .tot file from a mac or linux, or has somebody maybe saved off the update.zip file before installing it so I can try updating that way? I really want gingervolt, but I'm stuck on v6 for now....

-=Eric
[LG Revolution] Madert:
Been looking in different posts for this.

So i'm Assuming i can download the Gingerbread (v7) tot and flash and i'm good to go? :D You sir, just saved my night! :)
[LG Revolution] majorpay:
That should work for you...

---------- Post added at 08:24 AM ---------- Previous post was at 08:21 AM ----------

Updates through CWR have caused soft bricks, so that's not happening. The program is running in a Win32 environment, so your only bet without a PC is *maybe* whine (doubtful) or a bootcamp version of Windows? (not sure if that will work either due to the nature of the drivers, but worth a shot).

Here's another thought - if you can get your hands on a *special* copy of windows, you could try installing this program inside either a VirtualBox or VMWare image?
[EVO Shift 4G General] alher591:
I love htc but they did us wrong with the kernal source. I know we got it but they made us wait a while. Even though we did well without is thanks to our awesome devs. I was wondering if all you out there will stick to htc or go elsewhere due to the support? Im not totally mad because like i said we did great without it. Let me know whats in on your mind.
[EVO Shift 4G General] YoungCorruptionV2.0:
i'm still gonna support HTC cause no matter what they got the build quality and i love sense still the best
[EVO Shift 4G General] strapped365:
Yeah Sense UI is what keeps me with HTC, its just so pretty and their phones are solid, but here recently i have been thinking alot about them doing us wrong on source but HTC is where ill prolly stay.I have been looking at the Design too

Sent from My MikSupreme Shift
[EVO Shift 4G General] VICODAN:
The build quality on HTC's are solid. The kernel source was really frustrating to me and the way Samsung is handling things makes me want to go Samsung next device. Alas I still have another year+ for an upgrade.
[EVO Shift 4G General] kbrn:
I love HTC I know they took a lot to release the kernel source, like everybody else the build of their phones is great, the htc loggers issue and now the wimax issue.. and still love sense no other manufacturer skin on top is better.

I just switchd to the Motorola Photon just cause it has a great build quality, better radios the international capabilities and is faster overall but the most important thing is that I bought it brand new for only 250 bucks :D that was less than half price... :)

But I would definitely buy HTC again in the future.
[EVO Shift 4G General] Rynomite:
I agree with others that HTC makes a great phone, and I love Sense; but I'll probably go to a different manufacturer next time around due to the lack of communication from HTC about the delay in releasing our source plus the data logging being done unscrupulously by HTC.
[EVO Shift 4G General] YoungCorruptionV2.0:
I was thinking of the Design too. I figured by New Years/Christmas that maybe the price would drop a little and i can get a good deal on it
[EVO Shift 4G General] prboy1969:
It's true HTC did screw everyone by holding up the Source Kernel. I for one am truely pissed off by this. But that being said, I WILL buy an HTC device when I finally decide to retire my Shift. Because I prefer their devices to all the others I have owned (Samsung, Motorola, LG, Sanyo).
[EVO Shift 4G General] drob311:
The data logging is done by all manufacturers... samsung's is called "carrier iq"... we will never escape big brother...
[EVO Shift 4G General] prboy1969:
You can believe that :p , big brother is always watching. Here's a little tid bit for all you out there. I read somewhere recently that their are over 1 million surveillance cameras active in the US :eek: :eek: :eek:
[EVO Shift 4G General] nicksimmons336:
I'm gonna stick with HTC because they have the best quality android phone with sprint. The samsungs and lgs feel like toys and also feel like if you dropped them they'd break. Plus Sense is awsome....
[EVO Shift 4G General] sparksco:
Although HTC has delayed the Evo Shift kernel source they have stuck to their word on other devices. Look at how fast the kernel source for the HTC Sensation and HTC Evo 3D were released. But like others said I am also pissed about how they kept it from us for so long. Then the only reason they did is because we all got sick of it here on xda and decided to bug the sh** out of them about it. Next time we need to not wait so long and get on their a**es right away :P
[EVO Shift 4G General] CRIME INC.:
Definitely will stay with HTC. They, imo, have the best quality devices. And yes ill say it also, sense rocks!!

sent using a freaking pigeon, with a note tied to its leg :p
[EVO Shift 4G General] Evo_Shift:
I will go with whatever company has a phone with the features I am looking for and it must be able to be rooted fully and I want the Kernel sources released in a timely manner. Build quality is one major thing I do look for. I will not switch from Sprint either...I get too good of an employee discount through my work(24%).

I was in Sam's Club yesterday and handled some of the phones and the Epic Touch 4G is way too big and feels cheap. I would probably not buy a Samsung because of how they feel even though the features and screens seem nice...way too big on the Epic Touch. But nice if they made a high end phone in a 4" screen or smaller like last years models. I am not sure if the screens would overcome the build quality...tough call. Samsung does seem a little better lately with support though.

The Photon felt really nice. It felt solid and seemed to have nice features including a nice kickstand. The styling is a nice change as well. I would consider a Motorola based on build quality and features but I wouldn't buy one until a full root was achieved. They seem better lately but I don't trust them as a company.

The HTC EVO Design 4G felt the best of the bunch. I would love that phone if it had the specs of some of the higher end phones. The build quality was great. It reminded me of the Nexus One based on how it has the unibody type build to it. I would consider this phone in a heartbeat if it had a dual core processor.

The EVO 3D was nice as well but I hate the fact I would be buying a phone with 3D. Even though I could turn it off I hate knowing I am paying for a feature like that which I don't care about. Give me the EVO 3D specs in the EVO Design body/screen size minus the 3D and I'd be in heaven.

It is just too bad you have to buy a tablet sized screen to get the best specs anymore. After owning the EVO Shift as my first smartphone and using Swype and Swift Key X I will not buy another phone with a hardware keyboard but I will also not buy a phone with a screen larger than 4" so I am in a sort of dilemma as I don't have a lot of choices these days in high end phones. Hopefully by January-June 2013 there will be better options with better sized screens available. That Epic Touch just felt huge. There is no way it would be comfortable to put in my pocket.

Anyway, back on topic. Yes, I would buy another HTC but not out of brand loyalty or anything like that. I buy based on what the phone has to offer.
[EVO Shift 4G General] danibri82:
amoled looks soooo good that I'll be jumping brands when the time comes.
[EVO Shift 4G General] ludrose:
I'm actually upgrading from my shift to an epic 4g touch but strictly for issues with the device(ie. Messages, contacts, replacements w/ corroded motherboards) but I plan on keeping my shift and rooting it. Just can't stay with a manufacturer who can't do anything to help on a carrier who only cares about high end devices.

Hi I'm selling my Motorola Atrix on ebay... I am just curious as to whether or not someone would buy it with cm7 installed? Thanks
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] neotekz:
all my phones that i've sold ive always restored them to stock. but you can also give the option in your auction to either leave it with cm7 or will restore to stock. but telling people that you have cm7 installed also means that they might know that an unlocked bootloader means no warranty.
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Phalanx7621:
There's a section in Marketplace for selling items, I'd suggest posting there.
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ccrows:
Give them an option for both or you're gonna be really limited...
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] CaelanT:
So you are advocating hiding that the phone has an unlocked bootloader, thus conning the buyer?

Also, an unlocked bootloader does not mean you have no warranty.

Do what ccrows said.

Assimilated via WinBorg 4G
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] neotekz:
wouldnt returning the phone to stock relock the bootloader? i thought unlocking the bootloader voids the warranty?
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] omni_angel7:
The phone can not, I repeat CAN NOT be relocked. Unlocking "may" void warranty.

Yes i just bought a galaxy Ace and i was wondering if there was an easy way to root or a step by step too root this device

and also what the best Rom was for this phone is

i am from canada here and on the koodo network
[Galaxy Ace S5830 General] QNBT:
For now the unofficial Cyanogenmod7 works best with my usage.

And for the first question, for the love of chuck norris, just google how to root your device... It's as simple as pressing a button. *hint*

I know i find ones and such but it just seems time consuming and what not lol
[Galaxy Ace S5830 General] consegregate:

Then don't do it. Simple as that.
[Galaxy Ace S5830 General] chevymeister:
Figured instead of posting a new thread I'd reply here. I'm in the similar situation sorta, just had a few questions.

My model is the GT-S5830D 2.3.4 and I have Gingerbread.DTLKI4. I haven't encountered any threads with the similar build. I also noticed with KIES it tells me that my phone is not upgradeable. I'm wondering if Koodo put a proprietary lock on my phone and I'm curious whether I can still root my phone? Do you have to unlock in order to root? I've read a bit but I'm having a hard time grasping this concept.

Thanks.
