It won't apply if you are using a custom recovery instead of the stock if you are running a custom rom
[Sprint LG G2] ogi010:
I'm having the same issue, I'm not using a custom ROM, but I am rooted and have frozen some system apps... perhaps I'll try defrosting them and seeing if I can run the update after...
[Sprint LG G2] arehm:
Did you see the little android guy, saw a progress bar, then it rebooted to regular os? That's what happened to me. 2x. I've since unrooted and un Xposed, but have not been able to convince it to let me download the update again.
[Sprint LG G2] ogi010:
I do indeed see the android guy doing the "system update" after the reboot, the progress bar gets ~1/3 of the way through, then just jumps to the end and the phone boots up as if nothing has changed (although I did notice some minor things different on the phone but nothing that I think is relevant to discuss here).

To download the update again, what you do is you disable automatic time sync, reboot your phone, then go to LG update and it should prompt you about an update. As soon as I got the prompt, I set back the "automatically determine time" and all that snaz... my phone is redownloading the update as I type this message... hopefully unfreezing everything will do the trick. EDIT: again, update didn't apply :(
[Sprint LG G2] arehm:
That's what's happening with me as well. Debating on a factory reset.....
[Sprint LG G2] ogi010:
I would except I have so much stuff setup for two factor authentication through google authenticator... would be a real headache to have that reset, and I'm not sure of a good way to back it up without having to essentially get new keys once I reinstall. Being new to andorid I'm not sure what my other options really are at this point.
[Sprint LG G2] garwynn:
If that's happening you're probably failing somewhere in the first step. So something probably still doesn't match stock.
[Sprint LG G2] arehm:
Would a factory reset put me back good? Stock, stock recovery, no frozen, gave up root.
[Sprint LG G2] garwynn:
If indeed nothing flashed... yes. But you should the still be able to boot now.
[Sprint LG G2] arehm:
I can boot just fine. I appreciate the help.
[Sprint LG G2] twist:
Those keys it has you save when you set things up are emergency keys and you can generate more od those if you have to re-setup.
[Sprint LG G2] abhinav.tella:
Is it just me or did they take out ART option in developer options.
[Sprint LG G2] corys00:
I noticed the same thing.
[Sprint LG G2] agentfusion:
ART is unstable and meant for developers right now. Outside of a nexus device, you're not going to see ART on an official rom.
[Sprint LG G2] Koopa777:
Remember, the Korean variant(which for all intensive purposes is the "pure" g2 variant) has ART as an option.

And secondly, everyone makes it sound like ART is some sketchy option that you should never enable. I've used ART on my Kindle and Nexus 10 since 4.4 was released in November, with zero major issues.
[Sprint LG G2] p2cactus:
Still no ota. ?
[Sprint LG G2] KenpoAP:
Still it is implied and specifically stated that the runtime is for developer purposes and not the default runtime for Android. At least for now.

I guess this is why the OP didn't change the title of this thread yet...

[Sprint LG G2] arehm:
So I may have found my problem. Or maybe not. I accidentally went into download mode after factory reset and it still shows me as rooted. What do i need to do to unroot? Or should i just bite the bullet at this point and load twrp and then KK?
[Sprint LG G2] Stl Dark Knight:
Do you have stock recovery or custom recovery?
[Sprint LG G2] arehm:
Stock. And as these things always go, now my phone seems unwilling to accept the fact that data connections exist. But that's a secondary concern.

EDIT: data is back. Phew.
[Sprint LG G2] mtg981:
I was rooted on both mine with twrp and the "going back to stock" lg flash told worked fine on both mine.
[Sprint LG G2] mistermidas:
So, my 1st full charge since yesterday on KK and i have no idea about what people are complaining about as far as bad battery life. My battery life has been excellent so far, and I'm using stock settings as far as kernel goes. I don't even have trickster installed yet since i don't have a custom kernel. And I'm not experiencing some huge Bluetooth drain either...all good with me so far.
[Sprint LG G2] yoitsjustin:
Hey. So I currently use a Nexus 5 as my daily driver, but I also have a Sprint G2 from when I had Sprint. Basically here is what I did. I didn't have the normal recovery due to me flashing ZVA after being on CM11, so after I did a full unroot through SuperSU, my recovery was a weird fastboot. I eventually decided instead of taking the risk of bricking yet another G2 (my sister accidentally bricked her's, though I have some tricks that will hopefully fix it.) to simply reroot and install TWRP. I rooted using Ioroot on my Mac (a lot more complex than I would've expected, I had to go through a ton of websites before finding a post where somebody posted the exact things they did. After rerooting, I installed TWRP using Freegee from the Play Store, and finally flashed the ZVA to ZVC modified zip three times. After switching I've noticed the Kitkat update is a lot smoother with multitasking and especially typing which feels a lot less of a hassle than it did on 4.2.2 with Google Keyboard on each. I think battery life is the same, possibly slightly better. I'll keep everybody posted on the ups and downs of the update (if you'd like to know.) If you need any help with any steps feel free to ask! :) I'm not a developer but hopefully I can help!
[Sprint LG G2] yoitsjustin:
Here's pictures if anybody wants to look, it's not a humongous change in terms of UI
[Sprint LG G2] gonk24:
If you didn't already get TWRP installed after flashing the ZVA to ZVC update hold off for now. There are reports in that thread about download mode being broken for some who have done it. The downgraded aboot may be causing an issue. I'm not a dev, just read that and passing it along.
[Sprint LG G2] garwynn:
The modified ota isn't breaking that. Reverting the aboot afterwards seems to. Will test shortly.
[Sprint LG G2] gonk24:
That's what I'm talking about. Reverting the aboot afterwards in order to have TWRP as recovery.
[Sprint LG G2] Omar04:
Successfully applied the ZVC OTA with this method after getting stuck on the bootloop for not reading further and taking for granted a had enough experience LOL.. Victory

Note if you are stuck in the bootloop to get out of it and follow this method press power and volume up untill you land on Download mode then press power and volume down to enter recovery from there and follow this procedure. Profit.

Also would like to add I have a One Click ADB/Fastboot setup less than 2megs and just one click. ;) Follow my signature links to the threads.
[Sprint LG G2] KenpoAP:
Link please sire!
[Sprint LG G2] MeestaAytch:
Psst... he said its in his signature... very last link that clearly states "one click setup"
[Sprint LG G2] barleysoda:
Getting TWRP and breaking download mode is only a temp status while in recovery. If you follow all the steps in the post two of that thread you will see that before anyone leaves recovery they are to re-flash the radio and this will fix download mode but also rebreak TWRP basically putting you right back where you were in post 1. So in conclusion post 2 is only to allow temporary access to TWRP. I believe some people were rebooting to system (stock Kitkat) without flashing the radio again and this not only kept download mode broken, I think it was soft bricking them.

Unfortunately the OP doesn't explain in detail exactly what is going on with these steps but from what I can gather, in order to fix TWRP you have to downgrade aboot. While using a downgraded aboot it breaks the kernel. Kitkat kernel isn't compatible with the downgraded aboot. Well its common since that if your kernel is broken then your phone isn't going to function or at least not very well. The details of how broken the kernel is haven't been properly relayed in the thread or maybe they arent completely understood yet. One item is of course the download mode. What about the soft bricks and those that couldn't TOT? I wish this was spelled out more clearly as to what happened. Did they boot to system without flashing the radio (essentially repairing the kernel)?
[Sprint LG G2] abhinav.tella:
Force the OTA, go to Google Services Framework, clear data and stop it. Then click check for update like 10 times in a row. After a few attempts of trying this you're guaranteed to get the update. Be on 3G first then switch to WIFI for actual download.
[Sprint LG G2] yoitsjustin:
Thanks for the tip, I'll hold off on it as well as root!
[Sprint LG G2] gonk24:
Thanks for the explanation. For some reason after reading through the instructions over and over I kept thinking that the aboot revert after the ota flash was done was to be able to keep TWRP. I didn't get that it was only temporary, even though I should have, since the next step is to flash the ZVC radio.

In this thread, Sprint saids it's being pushed and denied it's being pushed. Sounds like it's depends on who you talk to if it's available or not.

[Sprint LG G2] tt0h:
This is pretty much par for course when dealing with [MENTION=218907]sprint[/MENTION]care or on their forums. It's been the same thing with every major update that I've been waiting for.

Best thing to do is just wait for the new version to be listed on the Sprint Device Update page for the G2, or to be listed on the LG OpenSource page, to be sure that it's actually being released/pushed.

It's very hard to get consistent, straight answers when dealing with their normal CSRs in regards to software rollouts.

On a side note, it is good to see that they've updated the version on their current testing version to ZVC. This shows that they are actively working on getting it out to users.

Thx,

Terry

ART will not be supported. Latest build info via sprint said "davlik" enabled for ZVB before. Continues to say davlik for ZVC. Its still kinda early for ART support on android I think. From the little bit Ive read app developers have to change some things and until the vast majority do I think davlik will stay standard for a little while longer.
[Sprint LG G2] JaceAlvejetti:
As seen here https://www.handsetdetection.com/properties/vendormodel/LG/LS980/page:3 the browser agents have been seen in the wild.. for builds kot49h, kot49i, kvt49l, KVT49L, LS980ZVC, ls980zvb - It out there somewhere..
[Sprint LG G2] Robisgnarly:
What happened to ART, because originally wasn't this being touted as coming with the kk update?
[Sprint LG G2] gonk24:
I think ART is being left out as to not cause potential issues for end users/carrier customers. Sprint's S4 KK update was also missing ART.

From Android Police:

At present, Google is treating ART as an experimental preview, something for developers and hardware partners to try out. Google's own*introduction of ARTclearly warns that changing the default runtime can risk breaking apps and causing system instability. ART may not be completely ready for prime time, but the Android team obviously feels like it should see the light of day.

[Sprint LG G2] ericdabbs:
ART is useless in its present state. Until apps have been updated and optimized ART instead of Dalvik there is no point in using ART mode. The reason why Google added ART as an option in developer options is to get developers to start thinking about ART and update their apps to be ART compatible.
[Sprint LG G2] Robisgnarly:
most the apps I use on my cm11 htc one have no issues with ART and i love using it on my G2

[Sprint LG G2] ogi010:
Forget clearing the google services data. Instead, disable the "automatically set date", and set the date 1 month in the future. Restart your phone, perform a LG software update, you should see the OTA update then.

Ogi
[Sprint LG G2] sturmen:
Yeah so don't do this. Here's why. Either be patient or sideload the OTA.
[Sprint LG G2] mistermidas:
Slightly off topic but...what happened to the OP? Lol, he needs to change the thread title like 2days ago
[Sprint LG G2] cremator75:
Does not work. Tried 1 month and 1 year ahead. Restarted and still no OTA.
[Sprint LG G2] ericdabbs:
YOu have to do the Google Services Framework trick a few times. It doesn't always work the first time.
[Sprint LG G2] HeckNoTechnO:
Maybe it means "released" in a "rooted version flashable" through TWRP recovery
[Sprint LG G2] mistermidas:
Lol, I'm pretty sure he meant the OTA
[Sprint LG G2] scottdanpor:
Actually I think mikebeam is correct. He's waiting for a solid rooted flashable version that retains custom recovery.
[Sprint LG G2] mistermidas:
And you know this because you asked him? He hasn't even posted in the thread for a while but in the earlier posts it was pretty obvious he was talking about the ota
[Sprint LG G2] scottdanpor:
It's either that, or he's on vacation again! :p
[Sprint LG G2] mistermidas:
Lucky him....i need a vacation big-time
[Sprint LG G2] abhinav.tella:
If you

factory reset after OTA

the above does not matter but otherwise yes you are correct. That is why I did backup and factory reset, but obviously if you want too keep you customizations, photos, etc intact then you may want to wait. Good you brought that up though, I should have mentioned that as well.

Cant believe they neutered secret settings and no ART option, I thought Sprint was generally one of the more lenient carriers.
[Sprint LG G2] mistermidas:
Did they get rid of the aspect correction option that used to be in the system settings>display? I can't find it anywhere now. I only need it fit shazaam...but it annoys me that it doesn't fit the screen properly when it's searching

[Sprint LG G2] mtcellph:
Hello,

I am glad to see the OTA for KK has finally come out for us Sprint users and I would like to update but I have a few questions that have most likely been answered before however a quick search did not yield any concrete answers so I thought I would ask them here in the hopes of getting some solid answers. With that being said, let's get started.

Q1a. I am currently running the stock ZVA rom that came with my phone. I am ROOTED and have TWRP (2.6.3.3) installed so what is currently the best method to return back to the complete stock unrooted state so that I can take the OTA KK update ?

Q1b. To root install TWRP I had to downgrade my aboot version to the zv7 aboot image file, will having this file change the way I return to stock or will it just be wiped along with everything else and replace itself with the zva aboot image file that came with the phone ?

Q2. I have read that ioroot25 will successfully root the latest KK update for our devices. Are the instructions the same as they were for the ZVA root using ioroot24 or do I need to follow a different method to get rooted once I am on KK ?

Q3. Once rooted, can I just grab download Flashify and install TWRP (2.7) again to replace my stock recovery or is another method advised ?

Thanks in advance for any and all replies,

Mtcell
[Sprint LG G2] Robisgnarly:
BAHAHAHA been on vacation since march 29th, was reading the thread on the balcony and realized i don't know how to change the thread title???

[Sprint LG G2] KenpoAP:
A1a TOT method

A1b it will be wiped

A2 basically the same way

A3 it's a little bit more complex than that. there's a method to do that in the zva to zvc thread (post 2) development thread.

Hopefully I'm answering your questions correctly!

[Sprint LG G2] mtcellph:
I managed to get the update installed on my phone and I then used ioroot25 to root it (it was a piece of cake to root btw for anyone worried about it) and all I need to do now is to get TWRP installed but according to the post from [MENTION=2684188]autoprime[/MENTION] located here (http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=51512054&postcount=5003) I will need to use a beta version of FreeGee and a custom kernel to get TWRP installed on the stock rooted rom. He list a few kernels that are supposed to be supported but I am not sure which one I should be using or how to get it installed so if anyone has any more information on this I would be grateful.

TIA,

[Sprint LG G2] cremator75:
I think Sprint must roll the update out starting on the East Coast and moving to the West for those of us in the US. I'm on the west coast and as of this post my phone still has not received the OTA even trying all the tricks to force it.

I'm stock Unrooted.
[Sprint LG G2] mrbkarate:
I got mine to take the update by doing teh clearing and stopping of the google framework then hitting the check for update. I had to clear it and kill it and check for updates like 6 times total (all 3 steps) before it finally worked :good:. Then of course i proceeded to drop my phone from about waist high on ceramic tile 45 minutes later and shattered the screen :crying:. Luckily got a new one on the way.
[Sprint LG G2] jigwashere:
I got the OTA by setting my clock ahead 1 month and clearing Google Framework.
[Sprint LG G2] keepah:
i got ota in france .. lol
[Sprint LG G2] abhinav.tella:
Changing date does nothing, read google OTA distribution article, by resetting Google Services Framework you get a new token each time and update comes by random token selection per day/week.

Has anybody notice when you place a call the roaming icon comes on and LTE icon goes away. Please let me know if you seen it. also does this when your wifi is on as well
[Sprint LG G2] bravo1565:
Same here I don't always get the roaming icon but LTE does vanish when you make a call I wonder if that is normal ?
[Sprint LG G2] KenpoAP:
The LTE icon disappears every time you place or receive a call. That's normal in this device and every other spark device so far.
[Sprint LG G2] bravo1565:
I got the update couple days ago and now notice on sprint zone that it keeps saying update needed
[Sprint LG G2] wcr84:
I disagree strongly. I have done just Google framework stopping on two phones and nothing. But the minute I threw time ahead with it there was the update.
[Sprint LG G2] beezar:
All triband phones such as this one cannot do simultaneous LTE and voice calls as those functions use the same radio. Just a limitation to allow us to connect to Spark. I believe the long term plan is for Sprint to develop voice over LTE (VoLTE) to eventually allow simultaneous phone calls and LTE
[Sprint LG G2] mtg981:
Yes I hate the fact that you can't use voice and data at the same time. My evo lte could do it I'm pretty sure.
[Sprint LG G2] pvinodnayak:
Yeah older phones had that, even sprint s3 had that feature.
[Sprint LG G2] abhinav.tella:
Dual radios drain battery faster so on the bright side we get better battery life.:)
[Sprint LG G2] darkpoe:
No they didn't do data and call at same time, they could do WiFi and call. As well from what I've learned from following forums, it is the antenna path that is shared not specifically the radio
[Sprint LG G2] Omar04:

Can anybody confirm if Google Wallet Tap and Pay is working again with this?

On AOSP 4.4.2 ROMs you could "activate" tap and pay in the Wallet app, but when you actually tried to use it, it wouldn't work.

Also, what kernel(s) work for when you root/flash TWRP and want to stay on stock 4.4.2?
[Sprint LG G2] abhinav.tella:
That's why we spread the word so at least someone keeps it in check lol. I can't tell you in how many forums I see people talking about changing date on phone when in reality token selection per timeline is on server side.

People here all have different ideas how to make it work and i have not been successful on any of their ways in fact because of the steps i took i probably will be one of the last ones to get the ota. My suggestion is just wait dont clear the frame work dont change the date it will come just like your other phone
