Yes, I got on ATT support chat and asked to have the Q update pushed to me. They pushed it, and after, KitKat installed.

I have not tried yet, will be doing that tomorrow, but I don't see why not. Just flash the TOT file again. At least on ATT.

Yes. I'm on my phone at the moment. Tomorrow, remind me and I'll get you the stock recovery that you can flash to your phone using TWRP.

I don't believe it was fully implemented on the ATT version.

so whats the plan with the guys who are unlocked. just wait it out?
[G2 General] yomero911:
Im on stock rom (modified with Xposed, rooted, remove some bloatware), buy ill wait 2 days thanks:D
[G2 General] Gandalf:
im about to make a flashable zip for the modem if anyone is interested . might do the system so we can have a flashable stock as well.. just going to wait for loki to be updated for the update..

i think everyone should know by now to NOT take this OTA until someone turns it into a flashable zip and confirms whether this is downgradeable like the last OTAs ...

[G2 General] AndroidUser00110001:
We need to have TWRP or Clockwork updated. I flashed system, modem, boot and then aboot and phone would not load with the latest TWRP.
[G2 General] Gandalf:
well loki needs to be updated,, [MENTION=336863]garyd9[/MENTION] currently has a ticket open on github with djrbliss to have loki updated to support this new update , so it's just a waiting game until loki is updated :cowboy:

the system wont work without the boot.img , and the boot.img wont boot without loki.

the aboot will be unnecessary (once loki is updated)

but we should be able to pop the modem into a flashable zip and try that out
[G2 General] garyd9:
Have you tried the following combination: aboot from d, twrp, system from kk, and then running Loki on the kit Kat boot.img? The only question would be if it's possible to loki'fy the stock kit Kat kernel image and have it work... if it does, that would an ideal solution.

You're welcome. Anyway, for now, Xposed framework doesn't work on 4.4.2 D800 and there is no custom recovery for it so there's no reason to rush things.

[G2 General] Zoide_:
Does it work with AOSP-based ROMs such as Mahdi or houstonn's PA?
[G2 General] Gandalf:
it'll work on all ROMs but the thing with modems --

it might not work better for your specific area. some areas maybe the older modem works better than the newer one and vice-versa, you just have to play around and see which is best for you

oh and

dont

flash a modem for a different model/variant

i still have aboot from d , i just flashed the modem, all is fine .

i'm going to zip up and flash the system and boot.img with philz recovery;; worse case scenario is that it get's stuck because of loki not supporting it yet, then i can just go back to recovery and restore a backup or whatever. i'll let you know.
[G2 General] juanzr1:
You probably have to put in an att sim card ,since the update is from ATT and not tmobile
[G2 General] garyd9:
oops. I think I killed it. Changing the screen density from 480 to 420 might not be a good idea. ;) systemui crashes on start, and adbd never starts (so there's no way to fix it.)
[G2 General] Gandalf:
there's several ways, from flashing a zip in recovery to flashing the factory images. it's probably better to wait until a flashable zip comes out first though..
[G2 General] garyd9:
hmm.. maybe that isn't what killed it. I managed to get the build.prop fixed up, but still crashing. I wonder if it's something I froze? That doesn't make sense, though.

edit: okay, that IS what killed it. I put the build.prop back from my system dump, and it's working again. WTH?

I suppose it's possible that ES File Explorer's editor chopped the build.prop file. Pulled the backed up build.prop back in, and everything worked. Edited it again (on my PC this time) and it worked fine. (BTW, don't bother messing with the density until we get a working xposed framework to fixup the DPI for apps that look like crap with anything other than 480.)
[G2 General] SuperSport:
Just an update of what I've done today/tonight.

I started with PA 4.4.2 KitKat ROM. It was Rooted and TWRP'd.

I used LG Flash Tool to flash back to Stock D80010o.

I Rooted using ioroot22.

I tried to get the update, but the server would not give it to me, so I got on ATT Chat Support and they pushed update Q to me. After update Q installed, D80020c KitKat installed.

Root was preserved. (Still Rooted)

Just now, I went ahead and Flashed D80010o back on just to be sure it worked, and it did. I'm back at Stock 4.2.2 Unrooted.

Now, going to update to KitKat D80020c again and try rooting, just for the heck of it. I realize it likely won't work, but I'm having fun now... :victory:

---------- Post added at 09:27 PM ---------- Previous post was at 09:25 PM ----------

I read someone say to remove the SIM card and try it with WiFi.
[G2 General] Zoide_:
Thanks! I just installed it on dr87's Mahdi/AOSP-based ROM and it's working fine. It looks like I'm getting one more bar of coverage, though it might just be a coincidence. Wi-Fi seems to work fine.

My phone is an AT&T D800.
[G2 General] Gandalf:
you'll probably have to go talk to T-Mobile or AT&T about that. I'd go to AT&T first and tell them that you're carrier unlocked and using an AT&T device on T-Mobile network and you just want to get the OTA update..

wait, so you took the OTA for d80020c , and then used LG Flash Tools and flashed back to d80010o ?

so you were able to successfully downgrade ?
[G2 General] :
does this work for att?

downloaded the files but adb is saying not recognized
[G2 General] Gandalf:
did you try any of the current rooting methods?

maybe try doing them manually as well
[G2 General] :
it dont work.....
[G2 General] garyd9:
request made for updating "ioroot": http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=50581359&postcount=1219
[G2 General] SuperSport:
Correct. I'm currently upgrading to KitKat again. Then I'll probably do it again! ;)
[G2 General] Gandalf:
oh this is amazing news, thanks for taking the plunge and installing the OTA and then trying to downgrade , lol:good:

once root is updated , and loki is updated , we will have no issues getting custom recovery on the 4.4 ota then , from what it sounds like.

actually, have you tried installing TWRP CWM or Philz recovery yet ?
[G2 General] SuperSport:
No, I had Root. Wish I had tried TWRP. I'm 39% through updating to KitKat again without Root. I'll then try to Root on D80020c. I hear it won't likely work. If it does, I'll report back.

---------- Post added at 10:17 PM ---------- Previous post was at 10:11 PM ----------

Ok, I've now got a 100% stock setup with D80020c, No Root, No Recovery. Is there anything you need before I mess with it? I haven't even installed my Google Account yet.
[G2 General] Gandalf:
nope we got everything we need.

i might modify ioroot unofficially now to pickup this build and see if it works, but in the end, loki will need to be updated before anything else can be done
[G2 General] SuperSport:
So, as I suspected. If I try ioroot now, it will not work?
[G2 General] Gandalf:
try the manual method, but i'm not 100% sure if it will work.

currently the scripts will not work as they are checking for d or o builds, so those checks will prevent the automatic scripts from working
[G2 General] SuperSport:
I modified the script, and it copied the file ytiruces_1a_att to sdcard ytiruces_1a. But I'm unable to get Root in ADB Shell.

I'm guessing ytiruces_1a_att needs to be modified for D80020c? I'd try, if I knew how. Not sure what I'm doing there.

I just tried again with g2_security, still no joy. :(
[G2 General] ericdabbs:
Can you root after the ATT KK update?
[G2 General] Gandalf:
hm, well i guess rooting on "d" firmware and keeping it over the update is the only way to have root on d80020c for now until ioroot is updated
[G2 General] SuperSport:
My next step will be to restore D80010o, Root, Update to KK, and try to install Custom Recovery. Again, likely not going to work... I know someone is working furiously on this to get it out to us asap. I'm not being impatient, just playing around... I'm enjoying this.
[G2 General] AllTheWay:
I did this as well. I reverted to the stock image. Rooted my phone. Did the 57mb update. However after that it showed that I didn't have any more updates available. Got online with AT&T chat support they pushed the q update through while I was on chat support. Tried the update again but it said that I had to wait 39 minutes or something like that. Moved the date forward by one day. Bam update is now available. Actually the update is downloading extremely fast. Faster then with my Samsung products. Should have root after I am done. Then I can installed some Xposed mods and then trick this thing out.
[G2 General] Fir3blade:
Are you serious?

Your posting is surrounded with postings, talking about how and if rooting is possible!

we're just gonna have to wait for root fellas.

im sure we can hang on its not that important. everyone should be happy the update came.
[G2 General] Gandalf:
root will survive the OTA.

currently what i'm gathering points to a workaround for root would be to use LG Flash Tools and flash the factory images for a previous firmware version, root it, and then take the OTA

obviously no guarantees or promises there and anything you do is at your own risk ;)
[G2 General] ferralis:
Actually id say root is more important then ever this update. I didnt think it was possible but att added even more bloatware.

If you want to make your device cleaner and want to run resl life battery tests you should definitely wait for root. The os and all the crap they installed now take up more ram and space on the hdd then ever. And there's no telling what is going to turn itself on. Contrary to what someone else in this thread Said, i haven't seen carrier iq listed yet, which i suppose is a good sign,
[G2 General] :
They added something called famigo and beats thats the only thing added. Batt life is alright i have my screen at 70% gps on and wifi on its holding up pretty well. I agree that it removes bloatware but this is the first time ive ran my phone stock for a week and i have no issues. And i mean none.
[G2 General] SuperSport:
As Jake mentioned just above your post, the OTA does keep Root. So, Root BEFORE updating OTA.

Also, 4.4.2 DOES have Carrier IQ. I just checked.
[G2 General] XERO_Racer:
KK seems to have a battery drain?

after updating to KK i'm getting battery drain, found out its the weather app, can anyone chime in as of to why its taking most battery?? ive shut off everything that involves weather, GPS, Widget etc and i even try to kill and it still runs, says GPS keeps on running

UPDATE: Nevermind, managed to fix it by rebooting the phone, all is well, will update if it happens again
[G2 General] SuperSport:
If you use a Root Uninstaller, you will find a lot more Bloat.

Yes, it does run perfectly fine, but that's not what XDA is for. It's all about the TWEAK! ;) It's this or drugs, and I've never liked drugs, so here I am.

Also, Unrooted is so bloated, holy mother of goats.
[G2 General] abdel12345:
You'll have to remove your SIM to take the update I think because that's how it is with verizon version. When you have different SIM inside it won't recognize it and won't check for ota but it may still get pushed to your phone

[G2 General] bigfau:
"Naturally if you’re rooted and running stock firmware, you’re going to want to get in on the update a bit early. Thankfully, XDA Forum Members [MENTION=5183332]tonynmisty[/MENTION] and [MENTION=2607037]hyelton[/MENTION] have mirrored the OTA on Dropbox and StorageCow. Once the update has been downloaded, place the file in your FOTA folder using a Root-enabled file manager and flash the update with a custom recovery." - Quoted from the portal

We can not update it this way, unless I missed something.
[G2 General] Johnsu:
Did you just ota it or remove your SIM?
[G2 General] savoca:

Loki is patched for 4.4 OTA's. We're looking into alternatives.
[G2 General] nabril15:
Dont shoot me please. This update is great news but this thread has a lot of different results, so it's easy to get lost a bit.

Tonymisty and hyelton mention the instructions above which seem easy, and twrp is a custom recovery. However, from reading posts and posts, I get the impression that twrp CANNOT be used to flash the update from dropbox and storagecow YET. Correct?.

Other instructions say to do the same instructions as above but to use stock recovery. How does one gomfrom twrp or cwm to a stock recovery???

Or do we all need to wait a bit and relax?

Is there a way to remove TWRP so I can do the update without messing up my phone?
[G2 General] SilentLunatic:
Stock recovery is needed. As far as I know the only way to get back to that is with the LG flash tool, and that wipes.

I'm sure if you wait a couple of days, someone will make a flashable zip of the stock 4.4 rom.

[G2 General] beartrap:
I tried the same with everything unfrozen and xposed uninstalled and no luck. You have to have the stock recovery to get the ota. You can go back to stock and reroot but I'm just going to wait a few hours or a couple of days to get a flashable zip.

I'd like to use the LG support tools software to update, but it keeps telling me my phone has the latest firmware.

I keep upping the date to check for updates directly on the phone and it tells me that it's the latest version..

[G2 General] OkcThunder:
Off topic. But does anyone know how to get google voice to work on the new 4.4 without having to touch the Google Mic. It was suppose to be implemented on 4.4
[G2 General] garyd9:
D80010d -- original AT&T jellybean firmware (4.2.2)

D80010o -- updated AT&T jellybean firmware (4.2.2)

D80010q -- updated AT&T jellybean firmware (4.2.2)

D80020c -- updated AT&T kitkat firmware (4.4.2)

Prospects for custom recovery (TWRP/CWM):

It appears that that bootloader in d80020c (AT&T kitkat) has been patched to fix the "loki" exploit. This indicates that loki will no longer be usable, and there probably won't be a custom recovery for this bootloader.

However, all is not lost. :) There are also indications that it's possible to get back to the D80010d firmware, which has a bootloader that CAN be exploited. The goal is to get the D80010d bootloader together with the kernel/modem/system images from D80020c. Assuming no one else does this before I have time, I'll work on it when I can. (However, I have a full time job, a wife, and 2 children - so it might take me a couple days.) There's also the complication that I'm not familiar with the various security partition images (tz/rpm/etc)

gary
[G2 General] AndroidUser00110001:
That may not work. Just going the o update caused custom ROMs not to play nice with the recovery and boot. A new exploit is being worked on to get get custom recovery on the KK update.
[G2 General] daddioj:
anyone who wants to sideload via stock recovery. just turn on USB debugging. and run via adb this command... adb reboot recovery and you can apply update from adb or sd card
[G2 General] savoca:
Those security partitions are a part of the bootstack. It may be possible to downgrade the whole thing (We only downgrade aboot for Sprint) but I believe there's a check in the new 4.4 kernel that prevents an older bootstack from being used. If that is the case, we'll need a new exploit for the custom boot/recovery partitions, or, we will need to find a way to remove the kernel's bootstack check, allowing us to use a downgraded bootstack. Still a lot of work to be done, and since there's no kernel source yet, it's hard to predict much more.
[G2 General] AndroidUser00110001:
Kernel source is out. Just grab the kernel source for the 320k KK update and it is all in there. It might say for 320 but the sources for AT&T model in there too along with the d800 config file...
