It would be nice if Sprint would push this update to our phones already since I'm actually in a spark city...

Edit - By our I meant the two LG G2s I own, and that it would be more beneficial to me than most, hence my mock outrage...

Its ok I can wait.

Thanks!
[Sprint LG G2] mikejeep:
It is being pushed out. Google runs the update servers. OTA distribution is random to balance the load on them. It takes about a week for every device to receive it. If you can't wait for your turn, use one of the methods in this thread to update manually.

I used a nandroid of stock rooted then installed test1 i didnt reboot recovery until i reinstalled twrp. Im still rooted and i have twrp access
[Sprint LG G2] bigpappa:
Well thats encouraging. Has anyone else tried this? Maybe this is the answer for those stock rooted with twrp installed on zv8? So twrp doesnt break??
[Sprint LG G2] mchlbenner:
So test one worked and no bootloped.

Was your kernel stock because that what i need.
[Sprint LG G2] garwynn:
Test 1 should work for everyone - I've used it multiple times with no issues.

And fortunately in my case I just hosed my SIM card - swapped and back to normal :thumbup:
[Sprint LG G2] mchlbenner:
Ok

Im stock with furance kenerl will it work or do need stock kernel.

Ps twrp recovery also.

yes stock kernal
[Sprint LG G2] mchlbenner:
Darn still will not flazh it just not meant to have update
[Sprint LG G2] ericdabbs:
Never ever take the OTA while stock rooted. In order to just take the OTA, you have to have not deleted any Sprint bloatware and did NOT modify any system files (native hotspot mod, splitwindow mod, Xposed tweaks, etc) and be unrooted. Also you should be using SuperSU to perform the full UNROOT process to make sure you are not rooted. Even if you take the OTA, you are going to be unrooted and will need to reroot anyways so you mind as well unroot yourself with SuperSU when you are going to install the OTA.

You have to make it as close to stock as possible which means, no mods, no root, no custom TWRP recovery, etc. Always proceed installing any OTA with caution and ask questions before proceeding. The carriers and OEMS are very smart nowadays to include a bunch of system file checks to ensure you have a vanilla version of the firmware before it allows you to take the OTA.
[Sprint LG G2] UCLA1:
Test1

I am stock rooted with TWRP and used garwynn's method and it worked.:)
[Sprint LG G2] arehm:
FWIW, this has not been my experience. I was stock rooted. By that I mean I was on the stock image, and just rooted, no custom recovery. I took the OTA as passed down from the sprint servers. Update applied, all was well. I've done this for this most recent update and for the one before that (a few months ago?). I DID lose root as expected, but no other issues. I had frozen many bloatware, but have not seen them pop back up. I no longer have root, so I can't see if they are still frozen. i had no Xposed going and no hotspot mod.

I'm not trying to argue with anyone, just passing on my experience. As always YMMV, IANAL, GFL.
[Sprint LG G2] garwynn:
Actually there was no root check on this OTA. Only device model and file asserts.
[Sprint LG G2] justinswidebody:
I must say, battery life on this update is even better then before
[Sprint LG G2] Big Boy Laroux:
GOOD GOD! Make the icon stop spinning!!!
[Sprint LG G2] mistermidas:
LOL, yeah that Icon is annoying as hell. But I'll put up with it because I'm getting 50mbs+ download speed on a regular basis when I see that thing start to spin lol.
[Sprint LG G2] latinoboi30:
I'd take that annoying spinning thing any day, over this no good LTE. If only I can get that darn OTA update for my LG G2.

[Sprint LG G2] mlb51:
Am I the only one who hasn't received this update? I live near Tampa and I figured I would have gotten it by now. I live on the edge of 4g coverage and I'm hoping that spark will give me 4g at my house
[Sprint LG G2] mchlbenner:
Did you check settings in updates.
[Sprint LG G2] James7Bond007:
The Mrs and I have not yet received it on our G2's, but I don't think VA has received any Spark love yet either. It makes sense that Sprint might try pushing out the updates first to people in areas with Spark service, although from everything I've read it's completely random.

If you don't feel like waiting any longer, even with a stock non-rooted phone, you can use the files in the ioroot package to manually get a root shell in ADB and then push the update to your phone (posted elsewhere in this thread or on xda) via adb.

As each day goes by and no update, at this point curious just how long the rollout period is. People are reporting improved battery life (not that the ~2 days I'm getting now is anything to sneeze at), though, so it's more than just the Spark enhancements.
[Sprint LG G2] Itchiee:
I'm in Tampa and have not gotten the update on neither of my 2 G2s.

I was hoping it would come already and would be nice to test this weekend.
[Google Chromecast] hewlett777:
Got my chromecast day and tried setting it up, first few attempts failed. When I plugged the CC into my TV, the screen shows the 'home' or default CC setup screen then it goes blank.

Eventually I managed to set everything up without plugging the CC in, it updated too. Then I tried casting from youtube, it found the device no problem but when I plug it into the TV, after about 10 seconds or so of casting the device 'resets' and then the CC logo appears and it says 'restoring factory settings'

Bought this brand new off eBay, unboxed. Seems bust to me. Anyone else had these issues? I've tried different HDMI ports and using the USB/AC power. The TV is a Samsung.

TLDR It works fine until I actually plug it into the TV, then it resets itself and I have to do the setup over.
[Google Chromecast] bhiga:
What is the first 4 of your serial?

Some units have buttons that tend to get stuck in the pushed position, which will cause a settings reset like you describe.

You can...

get a piece of weak tape (scotch tape, painter's tape or light duty masking tape) and stick it to the button, then pull it off

push on your reset button firmly (but not crushingly), wiggle slightly, then release to see if it pops back up

flick the button with your fingernail
[Google Chromecast] hewlett777:
That's done it! The button didn't seem depressed but I pressed it a few times to see if it 'clicked' back out, didn't seem to make any difference, but when I tried the setup again it ran smoothly!

thanks dude!
[Google Chromecast] bhiga:
:good: Funny little buttons...
[Google Chromecast] ganggreen777:
Wow didn't know someone posted this same problem. I've had my CC for a bit....and it frkn did that all the time. I got fed up with it and haven't used it .....I will try above suggestions. ...thanks....I'll let you know if it worked for me..If you want to know lol
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Ricx94:
I just picked up a Yoga 8 today. did some searching around and found this page instructing how to root it. I was hoping to have a bit more control over the process, but i could not find any other information either through google or through xda. (I realize the thread i linked to is not for yoga 8, but several people said it worked, and when i used it, it did indeed root it)

I would like to experiment with what can be done through the xposed framework with this tablet, but before i go anywhere i want a custom recovery on it so i can do a nandroid backup, should something go wrong. I have not been able to find any custom recovery for this device at all. looking through CWM and TWRP's databases of supported devices, I've come up with nothing. any assistance would be appreciated, whether you know of another recovery (or an unofficial CWM/ TWRP) for the yoga 8 or if you have another method of making/ restoring nandroid backups.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Ricx94:
Anybody have this tablet? any success getting a custom recovery running on it?
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Mikegrmn:
I picked up one yesterday after spending 3/4 of an hour in front of the stores shelf. I just couldn't really decide which tablet to get. The first thing I've done with it was going online to see how to root. I found a thread where someone posted that using the ideatab method would work on the yoga too. But I was too hesitant because I had just updated the firmware. But it would be great if this little thing would get some developer love.

I have installed CM11 on my old razr HD before handing it down to my wife and already thought about installing it on my note 3.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] AP756:
Rooting is done using Framaroot 1.9.1 (old Framaroot had no Barahir exploit). You can make a backup using MTKDroidTools and you can flash using SP Flash Tools. All tools can be found here at xda-developers. Unfortunately I don't know about a recovery for the time being, I'd like that too ;)
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Ricx94:
Mikegrmn, I found those parts about rooting tool for the ideatab working on the yoga, and I ran them after updating to lenovos latest firmware. I can say it worked perfectly.

AP756, thanks for the info. Still hoping for custom recovery but at least I can try a few things now.

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Ricx94:
I've got the drivers installed properly. i used them to root it and to send the recovery over adb. it coughed back that I didn't have the permissions to copy the file (i was running admin cmd) so i set the default action for SuperSU to allow, i tried again, and it still didn't work.

Either way it is done now and working. i did a backup and copied it to my computer, so i can start playing around with it.

I got one of these last week because I was very curious on the MK-8125 (quad a-7)

http://www.kingoapp.com/android-root.htm

worked for rooting

https://drive.google.com/file/d/0Bzwq8_00PhMUTm5uYkdrd19QWE0/edit?usp=sharing

worked for twrp

what I'm still unable to determine is how to actually enter recovery without sending adb reboot recovery, the VOL + power seems to still enter the chineese recovery. But other than that it's fine and functions correctly.

If someone knows how to replace the default recovery with twrp and the button combo that enters that recovery with power off please advise.

I have my eye on this as well

https://github.com/TeamYogaBlade/android_device_lenovo_b8000

Hopefully adapting the b8000 build to the b6000 won't be that hard once they get it working.

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] johnsongrantr:
I was more looking for a button combo, thinking of a solution to maybe overwrite the correct recovery or something of that nature. But thinking about it, there's probably one recovery built into the boot loader and a separate image as just the recovery maybe? The button combo is proabaly just different areas of the bootloader instead of it redirecting to a different image like what happens on other devices. I think I remember the transformer having this "issue" where it seemed to have two. I'm sure someone will come along with a fix this at some point, it functionally works, just not ideal.

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] smohanv:
Hold Power button + (Vol+ & Vo- together) and hold it few few seconds until you see a black screen where you will see selection between recovery and normal boot. Read the screen. Selection of option using volume up button and entering to selection is vol down button. Once you selected Recovery and pressed vol down, you will see screen with triangle. Now press power button gently. There you go.... You are now in Recovery (either 3e or your custom recovery).

Hope it helps.
