So, that being said, anyone have the stock recovery.img?
[Sprint LG G2] garwynn:
It's kernel source only. Not everything to build a ROM.
[Sprint LG G2] Williek113:
Its in Savoca's ZVA all you need to know thread. I believe if you downgrade to ZV8, then flash the ZV7 aboot, then take the ZVA ota and then you can safely take the ZVC ota when it gets pushed. There's probably an easier way to do it but I believe that way would work. I've bricked multiple times already though so I wouldn't say I'm too credible..
[Sprint LG G2] etd:
The sprint update page is currently unavailable so i bet it is about to hit.

[Sprint LG G2] abhinav.tella:
Maybe only the update site because Sprint Community site still loads. It still shows ZVA in the announcement thread.

LG website now has it updated to KK meaning not much longer :)
[Sprint LG G2] riggsandroid:
Serious or trolling?
[Sprint LG G2] Robisgnarly:
click the link for verification?
[Sprint LG G2] Robisgnarly:
basically it means sprint approved the update! now it got sent back to LG where they push it through googles OTA proccess
[Sprint LG G2] Pat123:
He meant that we already know this and it has been posted multiple times over the last couple of days. :)
[Sprint LG G2] Robisgnarly:
lol that makes sense..... been on vacation and hadnt been watching thread :)
[Sprint LG G2] etd:
When i saw that i did not realize the whole site was down lol, wishful thinking i guess ? i just thought since that part was down maybe they were redoing the page with zvc instead of zva. My brother in law was just rubbing it in yesterday because he just got kk on his tmoble s4.

[Sprint LG G2] garwynn:
Unless we see it pop up on Sprint in next 20 minutes I'm going to guess tomorrow.

Sprint generally likes to run bigger updates on Fridays/Mondays. We usually would see hints of docs hitting stores with their notice and I haven't heard that yet.
[Sprint LG G2] esoh:
AC also reported that Sprint is pushing KK to HTC One Max as we speak. I'm assuming that they wouldn't do two releases in one day, right?
[Sprint LG G2] garwynn:
They certainly could... but I wouldn't be a betting man on them doing that.
[Sprint LG G2] mistermidas:
I thought the exact same thing. When I saw the LG update link was down I was like "YES...they're finally updating to ZVC!!" But then I realized the entire site was down, and when it came up...it was still ZVA. Killed my whole damn vibe.....:rolleyes:
[Sprint LG G2] Trina9:
I've ask Sprint why that piece of crap was updated before my G2. No answers yet...
[Sprint LG G2] gonk24:
Interesting that the Sprint's update page for the One Max hasn't been changed to reflect the ota rollout

http://support.sprint.com/support/article/Find_and_update_the_software_version_on_your_HTC_One_max/WServiceAdvisory_542_GKB61419?INTNAV=SU:DP:eek:V:UG:HtcOneMax:FindAndUpdateTheSoftwareVersionOnYourHtcOneMax&question_box=Find%20and%20update%20the%20software%20version%20on%20your%20htc%20on%20max&id16=Find%20and%20update%20the%20software%20version%20on%20your%20htc%20on%20max

I keep reading that those update pages will show the current version as soon as it rolls out. Guess that's not the case.
[Sprint LG G2] Trina9:
Not from my experience. Usually sites like Android Central find out first and then Sprint will pass on the information to the reps. But its on the top of there Community Forums, so it's real.
[Sprint LG G2] gonk24:
No I'm not doubting the ota is really rolling at all. I'm just saying that I've seen multiple posts say that the device update page on Sprint's site will reflect the new version going out as soon as it goes out. Posts stating to check that page and when it changes to update is incoming. I found that to not be the case. I've never gone by Sprint's site for info, just found it interesting.
[Sprint LG G2] wcr84:
Sometimes they will release update with user pull 2 weeks before an actual notification push. They did that with HTC one 4.4
[Sprint LG G2] Robisgnarly:
also from what ive read i believe htc uses their own servers for the OTA proccess where LG would be using googles ota servers, so i would say just because the MAX is getting updated would have to effect on ours.
[Sprint LG G2] esoh:
That's only part of it. Sprint is so as$-backwards that I don't think that they would do multiple roll-outs knowing that they will likely get customer support calls from people who call in to find out why they have an update notification and if they should do it. More of a logistics issue than a server bandwidth thing. Anyway, I hope I'm wrong but it's almost 3 and nothing spotted in the wild yet.
[Sprint LG G2] mistermidas:
So basically, source has been released...the update is ready to go...and Sprint is STILL bs'ing about pushing it out to us? Yeah...that makes perfect sense Sprint, perfect sense....
[Sprint LG G2] jthein1989:
I honestly just want to see them add OSP to the LS. I doubt it will ever happen, just throwing my opinion in to stir the pot a bit, and get people's mind off the date and time.

[Sprint LG G2] jthein1989:

[Sprint LG G2] Trina9:
Sprint called me back and said that LG told them that update should be out today. Now, I'll believe it when it happens.
[Sprint LG G2] ghostcamed302:
I'll believe it too Katt50, every time I hear my tapatalk notification and see this form I'm like is it out yet or has someone posted the source code again? Lol

Even I'm subscribing to this thread and I'm a Verizon guy.
[Sprint LG G2] abhinav.tella:
They should advertise, First in phones, most in bloat and last in updates.

Then again Sprint should be "Sprint - Disconnecting America"
[Sprint LG G2] thelgog:
You know what this also happened with the lg optimus g the pre descent to this phone when jb came out for it they updated last and the att version got it first by at least a month i thought it would be different this time but it doesn't matter as much to me because my only reason i want kitkat is to get 4k and 120 fps camera recording from the camera mod for a wedding
[Sprint LG G2] Williek113:
Wait woah woah there's 4k recording in the update? I would have thought that was a hardware thing!
[Sprint LG G2] Enter The Nexus:
It's a camera mod. 13 mp = same resolution count as 4K (in essence)
[Sprint LG G2] bkertz:
You need to be patient. Pushing software updates is not something you want to rush.
[Sprint LG G2] Trina9:
I agree with that. I'm willing to wait but the comments from SprintCare are laughable. I'm betting that they told me that just to make me happy. We'll see....
[Sprint LG G2] mistermidas:
Umm who the hell are you? YOU need to worry about yourself. The point is the update is ready...there's nothing to even rush. They are just not sending it out for whatever lame reason.
[Sprint LG G2] NODO-GT:
Agreed.

This is only reason I'm waiting for KK update and the only reason why I exchanged my S4 for G2...

Hes right though you wouldnt want to rush a update the kitkat update was rushed out so fast for the other nexus devices that they made a 4.4.1 and 4.4.2 so fast in. Under a month

---------- Post added at 04:52 PM ---------- Previous post was at 04:34 PM ----------

Im doing hourly updates if i get the ota or sprints website shows zvc or ota notification so far nothing and also im on d3rp g2 stock rom with twrp if it does come out to today what would i have to do to get it the update
[Sprint LG G2] Robisgnarly:
also 4.4.3 is coming soon
[Sprint LG G2] abhinav.tella:
I hear 4.4.3 fixes battery issues, don't know if it applies more to the Nexus more than the rest. If it is a general fix, it may have been better to delay Kit Kat for us, God knows if they'll update us and if so it'll probably be a while.
[Sprint LG G2] agentfusion:
Expect it sometime soon. I'm actually building it for my phone right now. LG has added the source for the official 4.4 rom and kernel to the LG Open Source site, so as soon as I'm done downloading the stock 4.4.2 source to merge the LG source, I'm going to build it and test it out. And.. you know.. probably root it and release it here on XDA-Developers. xD
[Sprint LG G2] Enter The Nexus:
Could we port it to VZW?
[Sprint LG G2] beezar:
I'm glad that Sprint won't wait for 4.4.3 just so I won't have to endure more whining about how slow Sprint is in releasing updates.
[Sprint LG G2] ksweeley:
I just chatted with Sprint and here's what this Sprint person stated to me:
[Sprint LG G2] gonk24:
Pointless. 5 different Sprint reps will tell you 5 different things. It will show up when it's ready. For f*cks sake people, patience.
[Sprint LG G2] Enter The Nexus:
It's been to long for the update.
[Sprint LG G2] gonk24:
Too long based on what? There's no stated time to update by in our contracts or service agreements. We aren't guaranteed any updates.
[Sprint LG G2] Stl Dark Knight:
This inpatient waiting would not be true if damn AT&T didn't rush out theirs followed by T-Mobile. I have to say one thing Sprint's Rom usually are very stable and efficient compared to other carriers. So blame AT&T and T-Mobile for starting the clock that everyone has been following. Lol
[Sprint LG G2] Enter The Nexus:
We should've gotten the update in November - January.
[Sprint LG G2] gonk24:
Based on what? Just because you say so?
[Sprint LG G2] Enter The Nexus:
Most definitely.
[Sprint LG G2] gonk24:
What's the holdup then Dan Hesse?
[Sprint LG G2] agentfusion:
Yeah, if you go by that Sprint rep, KitKat will be available in a few days since LG has finished it for the G2 already. I'm compiling the rom from their source as I type this. Sprint just needs to compile it, add their bloat ware, and push the ota.
[Sprint LG G2] gonk24:
Pro tip: Don't go by what Sprint reps say. LG had it done a while back, that's why it has already rolled out in several places. Sprint has already added bloat and tested to their satisfaction. That's why source is posted at LG. Sprint is done.
[Sprint LG G2] Enter The Nexus:
THEN THEY SHOULD RELEASE IT.
[Sprint LG G2] gonk24:
Make it happen Dan Hesse
[Sprint LG G2] rejctchoir:
Does LG provide proprietary blobs? I would assume their source would only be for GPLd portions of code and things like camera APIs and chipset drivers would not be present. So you could compile the code but could not flash it to get a functioning phone. I may be wrong!
[Sprint LG G2] Enter The Nexus:
You have Sprint bruh you should go ahead and cry to them. It's a bit ironic that I, a Verizon fellow, am vowing for Sprint to get KK.
[Sprint LG G2] gonk24:
Why would I cry to them? What part of anything that I've said leads you to believe I'm on pins and needles waiting for an update? Nothing, that's right. I don't care if it takes a few more weeks. Big deal. My phone functions madly well as is bruh. KK is going to be barely noticeable.
[Sprint LG G2] Williek113:
Let's just all be friends here and agree that we all want the update asap. No need to argue, gentlemen.
[Sprint LG G2] Enter The Nexus:
I can't believe you're honestly trying to argue about this.

What is the sole purpose of this thread? Simple. It's for people who want the update and who want it now. It's not for people like you who wish for patience. Yeah, KK may bear barely noticeable changes, but it's the simple fact that we wish for the latest and greatest. CDMA Carriers are screwing G2 owners over, as with other phones, as they're last for practically every damn update.

Seriously, stop trying to bash me and every other person aspiring for KK. You can be patient all you want, just don't be a complete douche to people who aren't.

Have a good one.
[Sprint LG G2] gonk24:
Awww just some friendly discussion man. We're all pals. Everything is awesome!
[Sprint LG G2] wcr84:
Rag on me if you wish. I still think they are holding it. There are actually People who will get so upset that they will gladly preorder an s5 day before ota hits and Sprint knows this.
[Sprint LG G2] -viperboy-:
This is an entertaining thread if nothing else :laugh:
[Sprint LG G2] gonk24:
Hahahahahaha you're a riot man!

I said people need to be patient and that when it's pushed it's pushed. That's been said by multiple people thought this thread. That's somehow bashing? Stretch much bro? It would great if KK were here yesterday. For ME, I can wait.

You're the Verizon guy here in a Sprint thread blabbering about CDMA injustice. Go make a sign and stand in front of a Verizon store.
[Sprint LG G2] Enter The Nexus:
lol thanks for the idea, might just go do that. As long as I get my KK, I'll be good, and I need it now. We shouldn't have to wait months on end to get a simple update (especially if it's ready). It's like they're phasing out one of their flagship devices by not updating it. They need to appeal to their customers and their customers needs.

[Sprint LG G2] gonk24:
I think on the carriers end, they really don't care. Once we've signed on for their service, they're looking for the next victim. They'll still get out updates, just not in a loving, speedy manner. They're more concerned with getting S5s and iPhones out the door.

Unless it's different on the Kyocera devices, the manufacturer decides to push the update. The latest firmware for the Torque was completely on Kyocera to complete and push out.
[Sprint LG G2] Koopa777:
There's a difference between holding an update because it's not finished, and holding an update because Sprint are total (insert name-calling of choice) and trying to market a new phone. I don't care about the wait, I care about the principal. That being said, if Verizon beats us, we know that stuff's hit the fan. :laugh:

And hey, at least you got ICS. We former MoPhos got stuck with a Permalocked bootloader on Gingerbread. :p
[Sprint LG G2] Trina9:
Yes, I heard lots of upset people over that. My thoughts (guess?) is its just taking a while longer because of Spark. I don't think any of the tri-band phones have KitKat yet. The problem with the EVO 3D is there was no reason to be holding the update when every other carrier in the World had it.

[Sprint LG G2] Trina9:

[Sprint LG G2] Trina9:
OK, who knows what Sprint is thinking.
[Sprint LG G2] bigpappa:
AMEN BROTHER!

Ended up turning my mopho into a docked media box. Found a version of xmb that kinda runs, and can at least stream neflix and crackle and such on it still while connected to wifi.

Thats what put me off the moto x and made me get the G2. Even passed on the $100 trade in rebate for the photon because I no longer trusted motorola.

After that I wont complain if LG takes a little longer to update the G2.

It's really neat the way they release it, actually. They release an archive of code that you merge with a specific version of the aosp code then compile for your devIce, then flash the zip that it spits out when it's done. It works really nicely, except that I'm having issues with frequency scaling in debian so my cpu keeps overheating when I try to compile the rom, so I'm stuck waiting for someone else to do it.

Do you think taking ota while having root with stock recovery will be ok? The is a thread listed on previous page saying it is iffy.?
[Sprint LG G2] infirno77:
I have 2 phones, so I figured I'd try. The recovery.bin you sent... Gotta convert it to an img before using?
[Sprint LG G2] scottdanpor:
If you are rooted there's a good chance you will lose root. There's also a chance your phone won't even boot or will have game breaking bugs. For a reliable update flash back to 4.2.2 stock.

Nobody knows if it will work or not until someone tries it and even then it may not work for you. It's a risk, are you willing to take it? :confused:

Last update I took was being stock recovery and rooted. No issues. I don't expect any with KK either. May lose root, but we'll see how that goes.
