Dude you just seem to bash ppl when they comment. It will come when you phone has a pop up saying there's a update. One thing you cannot rely on are dates. No one ever knows. Many "expected" updates have always been pushed back to a unknown time frame. If you need 4.4 so bad, trade for a nexus device: -)
[LG Optimus G Pro] dpalmer76:
Dude, I am not asking for an update. I open thread for any relevant news not wise cracks. I am on 4.4 as we speak, but would like the stock update. I hope that I didn't bash your comment.

Please comeback when you have some news sir! Have a nice day sir!!!!! Or maybe Robin Roberts!
[LG Optimus G Pro] Neroga:
I wouldn't hold out for the update or even take it via OTA when it comes. You lose the ability to write to the external SD card unless we'll be able to root it.

With some variants having received a Kitkat update, but not yet the Att version, does this sort of put the ball in Att's court, LG, or both?

With US carriers are some known the be better than others regarding such updates?

[LG Optimus G Pro] dante_67:
As a matter of fact, tot is the better method, but I don't know, whether my usb port is damaged or I have some other hardware issue, the phone is not recognised in download mode, as it says that attached device malfunctioned, so the only thing that is left for me is the cwm backup to resort to.

[LG Optimus G Pro] electrojas:
You guys are amazing,

I am also stock, rooted 4.1.2 with CWM installed from freegee, and have not flashed anything on this phone yet. I am wondering, just to clarify, Are you actually going to upload a stock rooted Zip file of 4.4.2 KK to flash with freegee's CWM? That would be so fantastic. I have never had a phone with KK and this would be the perfect opportunity. Have mercy on us noobs with this and please could you give a detailed set if instructions with the zip when you post it? You guys really make this community the best spot on the web IMO. All hail the kings!:good:

Does the stock browser still do a REAL full screen hide of the status bar? As I understood, KitKat messed up webkit based browsers (as the first stock browser was in 4.1.2) and it did a wonderful job. Very much like stock CM browser.

Interesting question here. I have the ATT E980 but it is unlocked and used on T-Mobile. ATT isn't interested in helping me out anymore (on Chat) to push the software to me because I canceled service with them. Any clues how I would go about convincing them?

Does the sim need to be in the phone? I get the "Phone is not registered yet" error message with my T-Mobile sim or without!!

Just in case anyone is worried about losing root........I used Voodoo OTA Rootkeeper, and it kept root for me when I took the OTA update. It had always worked for me in the past. Just FYI.......
[LG Optimus G Pro] ayhtida:
Are these the files that someone extracted as a backup and posted online? What does TOT stand for :confused:

Guide looks pretty straightforward, just not sure what associated risks are.
[LG Optimus G Pro] jrtancinco:
TOT is the file extension of the update file from AT&T. This is not the CWM backup, but the actual update file. I think people have been successful at updating it using this method. Haven't tried this myself yet but I'm planning to this weekend. Just use a Windows 7 machine instead of Windows 8.
[LG Optimus G Pro] Emmanuel2000:
That is the original file you get from OTA to update the phone but you have to use LG flash tools to get it flashed along with a dll.
[LG Optimus G Pro] ayhtida:
Thanks guys. This a pretty reliable and safe way to get moved to Kitkat? The file indicates an April date so I assume it is from before the official ATT release announcement.
[LG Optimus G Pro] stulzerl:
Did you intall CWM via freegee?
[LG Optimus G Pro] shabbypenguin:
tot is teh file used by lgflashtools, has nothing to do with the ota. ota's come in zip form and are flashed in stock recovery. a tot is kind of like an odin tar with samsung, used to fix your device back to stock firmware.

anyone else with the same problem ?
[LG Optimus G Pro] asl9622:

[LG Optimus G Pro] ayhtida:
Yeah almost everybody LOL. If you want to try again, just set your clock 24hrs ahead and try checking again. Remember to change back your clock. Each time you want to retry without actually waiting, you'll have to set your clock to an additional day ahead.

Just grab a kdz and install it offline via a kdz flasher (R&D test tool). If you use the "emergency" option, all of your data will remain untouched.

Bricking your $400 phone a couple of times is what separates the men from the boys :laugh:

He probably used this http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2284298, since the boot loader is locked this is the only alternative, but it is only good to flash mods and do backups, never attempt to flash a custom ROM using this recovery.

Really, that is the first time I have heard of that. I thought it usually just requires an unlock code.
[LG Optimus G Pro] jdk2:
You might be right. I thought you needed a sim from the carrier that the phone was locked to in order to unlock it. That may not be correct, though.

Mine is unlocked but obviously I'm on the carrier it was locked to originally.
[LG Optimus G Pro] 0verwatered:
I thought you needed a unsupported Sim to unlock the phone. You put the unsupported carrier sim in and it asks for the unlock code... Or atleast I thought that's what I read

Hey Guys. Another newbie here with questions on the 4.4.2 update. I have an unlocked at&t OGP running on T-Mobile, so im interested in updating through the RETURN TO STOCK TOT method; however, i have a few questions before updating. From what i understood i read that there is another firmware other than the (KitKat - AT&T LG E980 V20g - US-APR-28-2014), which is provided on the thread of Hyelton that will run KitKat without the at&t bloat and run a lot smoother. I believe it was telcel E980H???? Can anyone confirm this or let me know it i just misread someones post???? And in addition if i updated to KK with the RETURN TO STOCK TOT method would i still be able to use T-mobile as my carrier just by switching a few of the settings or would i need to unlock the phone again??? Sorry if some of this questions have been answered before i just found way to may threads on the recent update and its hard to keep up with them....Thanks in advance to anyone who helps :good::good::good::good:

[LG Optimus G Pro] luisoman2000:
there are several kitkat firmwares actually, though I believe the only available one in TOT format is the AT&T one. The telcel E980_H i think is a panama (or mexico ) firmware, which i believe to be jellybean. You can go back to stock using tot and the phone will still be CARRIER UNLOCKED(meaning you can use any sim), you will loose root and custom recovery though.

---------- Post added at 10:53 PM ---------- Previous post was at 10:49 PM ----------

This is correct.

If you use the sim from the carrier the phone is locked to it will work normally, you wont get prompted to insert unlock code.

.

There is a way to access the unlock code screen without using a sim from a different provider, but I can't remember it right now and it is easier to just insert the unsupported sim to get prompted for the code.
