My sprint update didn't take. I'm rooted but others said it took fine. Mine acted like it took but when I checked the software it still shows 4.2.2 and ZV3 but someone said to grab the update file from cache and uploaded so I'm uploading to OneDrive now it's 641mb.

[LG G Flex] SComp23:
Just tried it. It failed to and booted up to 4.2.2.
[LG G Flex] yellowman82:
Sweet thanks downloading as we speak also how do one get into the stock recovery of this phone?
[LG G Flex] SComp23:
Now that I've borked my update due to being rooted, do I have to wait until my phone realizes it isn't up to date again to update?
[LG G Flex] galinha:
This will work on a D955 ROOTED ?
[LG G Flex] yellowman82:
Hmmmm ok on stock recovery it only shows external sd it doesn't show no internal slot which is where i have the update.zip file, how can i try to update by using the file if i cant get to the internal unless im missing something here?
[LG G Flex] jesmann:
How are you getting to stock recovery? I would suggest copying the file from the cache folder to the virtual sdcard root folder. I used ES File Explorer to copy it from my cache folder.

I tried to get into stock recovery but the button combination took me to hardware control menu and I tried through terminal emulator to su then reboot recovery and it flashed into recovery then proceeded to boot normally.
[LG G Flex] yellowman82:
I'm holding down the volume down button and the power button once i see the screen that says recovery mode i let go and im in tge stock recovery.
[LG G Flex] jesmann:
That worked...it appears that the OTA failed because I used the hotspot hack with replaced my services.odex file so I need to restore the original.
[LG G Flex] yellowman82:
Damnit i can't get that far I'm trying to put the files somewhere where i could locate it at when in recovery but i dont know where and that es file explore is confusing lol.
[LG G Flex] yellowman82:
Which one of these are you using?View attachment 2728936
[LG G Flex] jesmann:
Funny thing is recovery didn't recognize the update file on the sdcard just the original location apply update from cache on the internal root then cache

The top one...are you root?

---------- Post added at 10:26 AM ---------- Previous post was at 09:47 AM ----------

I'm waiting for reboot but in fear I saw it say something about factory reset when I finally got back into recovery. I extracted the services.jar and services.odex from the stock zip on here to fix the other issue and upgraded.
[LG G Flex] cbwhat:
I'm on Sprint and still haven't had the option to update yet
[LG G Flex] jesmann:
I'm in a boot loop.....ugh
[LG G Flex] yellowman82:
Im not rooted i disable root from SU app then did a factory reset now the only thing i 4got is if this came with any sprint bloat apps since i dont see any and figuring may e that's why i havent recieved the update yet.

---------- Post added at 10:58 AM ---------- Previous post was at 10:50 AM ----------

Ok sorry for all the questions I'm just not used to these explorer files especially when not rooted lol but i see a cache under device but if i would to click on the sdcard folder i don't see any cache folder is it possible for you to take some screenshots showing step by step to what folder and such?
[LG G Flex] jesmann:
I would if I could but something went horribly wrong and now I'm stuck in a boot loop. I just got back to factory recovery (which is now ZV6 now) and did factory reset but still in boot loop.
[LG G Flex] yellowman82:
Damn sorry to hear
[LG G Flex] didithu:
Just got notification last nite!
[LG G Flex] jesmann:
I'm trying to get into download mode to see if I can restore that way but the stupid key combination is finicky... It keeps going from the LG splash screen to the Installing system update screen. I have the Black Tie protection for worst case scenario since it was the OTA file that screwed it up. I'm just not sure if I'm going to be able to retrieve my data.
[LG G Flex] Bowmanspeer:
I'm on T-Mobile. I keep checking for the update and it says I'm up to date. I understand they pulled it briefly because of a typo. I think the ATT guys said update wouldn't show up because of root but unrooting, factory reset, get update, reroot, then install update (or something like that) is what worked. Guess that is the path to take.

Has anyone who's rooted tried the update for T-Mobile? I see the update in my notification bar and I'm rooted, but I don't want to lose my root because of tethering.
[LG G Flex] Visa Declined:
Thanks for the heads up guys. I plugged my T-Mobile phone into PC Suite and had the KitKat update waiting for me!

One thing is for sure, it checks the device for root during the upgrade. KitKat runs buttery smooth on the G Flex, and I can finally install the Google camera with the Lytro effects!
[LG G Flex] bbobarino:
I got the system update im just scared to download seeing as tho we jus got recovery and im not a pro at downgrading with the tool
[LG G Flex] didithu:
Dl normally but do not install.
[LG G Flex] therealciviczc:
I just tried my rooted 959 in the LG PC suite, and I get an error saying to check the phone status and retry when I try to do the upgrade. I'll play around with it, but I'm assuming that is due to it being rooted because the PC suite sees the phone fine and I can do other operations fine (transfer pictures, see apps, etc).

*** nevermind. appears that the server is now blocked at work, so disregard this probably.
[LG G Flex] yellowman82:
Woked up to this lol finally sprint pushed it to my phone but it seems like it downloaded on it's own overnight so just need to install now.View attachment 2730468
[LG G Flex] yellowman82:
Damnit the install went find and rebooted but i'm still on 4.2.2 JB, maybe it's because i didn't have no sprint bloatware app or probably missing something else.

Gon.a download now how do i pull it and post the zip also where will it b located after download i see some1 said a cache folder can any1 b more specific btw tmobile

Im rooted as well as recovery can any1 confirm root keeps after update like the at&t version?
[LG G Flex] wase4711:
considering there is no root or custom recovery for kit kat, I think I want to stay with 4.2 for now..kit kat gives us nothing but a higher release number at this point..
[LG G Flex] bbobarino:
I agree but def want to try out the TRUE 4k uhd
[LG G Flex] wase4711:
what are you going to use to "view" that true 4kUHD?

[LG G Flex] brittoking:
Did the T-Mobile update ACTUALLY include "true" uhd? I don't believe the AT&T actually did. It was already uhd but was supposed to bump the resolution up right? I thought I read they didn't end up adding that to the updates. ?? Might be mistaken

---------- Post added at 07:52 AM ---------- Previous post was at 07:49 AM ----------

If you have the program downloaded, you just need to connect phone and go to settings/General/pc connection and choose pc software.
[LG G Flex] therealciviczc:
On mine, when I plug in the USB, there are four choices in the dropdown on the phone. Charge, media transfer, connect to LG software, and something else (don't have it in front of me). If you choose connect to LG software, it should show up in the LG PC Suite. If its the first time doing this, the phone will ask you if you want to install the LG PC Suite. I don;t know if it actually is any different, but there is a version of the LG PC suite for each phone separately on the LG site. Did you go to the D959 section to download it? Also, you can't be tethering with the phone at the same time or the PC Suite won't see it.

EDIT: Just saw that you're not on a 959. My bad.
[LG G Flex] wase4711:
confirming that if you are on Tmobile, rooted, then the LG software will NOT send you the kit kat update
[LG G Flex] bbobarino:
Not true i am rooted as well as recovery and tmobile sent me the ota
[LG G Flex] wase4711:
did you get it "natively", or through the LG software?

I tried it through the LG software, and it says no way, check your phone status
[LG G Flex] spacemonkey333:
I updated through PC Suite and now my phone won't knock on. It will knock off but not on. I used that feature a lot. ANNOYED!!!

Edit: Nevermind. KnockOn is disabled when Knock Code is enabled. So much for using the knock code...

I just want to add guys I know ppl think the dev is dead this phone but it isn't if u want to take the update you can but I'll loss root. I know me and a few others are working on a device tree. It is gonna take me a little longer because I am moving at the in of this month,but with that said good things comes to those you are patient . I am know means what so ever telling y'all what to do but only suggesting. Especially if you like aosp I would just hold off on that update. Hell we just got a recovery on the phone.
[LG G Flex] jesmann:
I believe so the kit Kat root boots into stock recovery and uses the option to adb. Check stock recovery for the option. The iioroot 25 thread says all versions

http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=48709232
[LG G Flex] yellowman82:
I'm patient that's why i want to take tge update lol. Im not a fan of aosp roms and I've been tired of being on 4.2.2 i want to see what kitkat is all about with the performance and such and the battery so I'll just wait patiently until i see you guys start working on kitkat and such for me to start having a bit of fun flashing and such.
[LG G Flex] Douchie0221:
KnockOn still works but it just works in the Knock Code form.

So instead of double tapping when screen is off, just enter your knock code instead and the phone will unlock and turn on.
[LG G Flex] Visa Declined:
Before the KitKat update, the front LED on my phone would light up white when I would use knock on to wake my phone. Now it lights up blue. I was also getting some keyboard lag while texting on Android 4.2, and with KitKat that's been fixed. Gaming performance is even better now than what it was. Real Racing 3 is much smoother. I'm glad to be rid of that horrible gingerbread green battery indicator as well.
[LG G Flex] softballjunkee13:
Other than going back to stock 4.2 does anyone know if there's a root method for kit Kat in the works. I have no problem waiting. Was just curious. Honestly to me root on this phone is just not worth the hassle of going back to stock. Just wanted to root to get Wakelock detector to work fully. Can't see cpu Wakelocks on kit Kat without root now.

Do you know how to adb from the computer? Charge only and USB debugging on then adb reboot recovery. It may also work when powered off hold down and plug in the data cable. The hardware keys were being a real pain for me as well.
[LG G Flex] Visa Declined:
Wakelock Detector was important to me on the Nexus 5 with it's crappy battery, but I could care less to use it on this device. I understand that there's a lot of useful things to do with root access, but I've been using Android devices for so long now that rooting and roms just aren't important to me. It's not worth staying on outdated 4.2 just to have root.
[LG G Flex] sweets55:
Not sure how long til the T-Mobile Flex will get a KitKat Rom. I wanted KitKat when I first got the Flex so will mess with it later. You can always go back to 4.2 if need be right?
[LG G Flex] softballjunkee13:
I'll have to Google adb to find the program. I had it downloaded on my other pc but it crapped the bed. But i know how to use it if i can find it

Is there any other way to go back to stock besides using the lg flashtool?

Idk if OP instructions are off a bit or maybe its because im at work but i followed all instructions and thought i screwed the pc at work since it didn't want to connect to the internet i was ****ting bricks until i just uninstall everything and restarted the pc lol.
[LG G Flex] brittoking:
I'm on the move so I can't post a link, but I know there's a thread on here with the stock images and you can adb push them to the device. I cannot recall if that was one carrier specifically or if the img files for the major carriers were all listed in that thread.

Update failed

I tried to do the update on my rooted LS-995 (Sprint Flex) and it basically rebooted, said installing update and booted back up but was still on 4.2.2. Since then, it thinks phone is up to date. I tried several times getting into factory recovery (holding power and volume down but kept getting some hardware keys menu) I ended up installing ADB and forced the phone to reboot into recovery. I chose from the menu to apply update from cache and selected the update file. It displayed the following:

finding update package....

opening update package....

verifying update package....

installing update.....

Warning: No file_contextsVerifying current system....

"/system/bin/app_process" has unexpected contents

Installation aborted

I don't believe I've modified anything at all; I need root for Root Call Blocker, Greenify, SSH, Gemini App manager, Titanium Backup, Xposed

Will I need to reflash back to stock and try again? I'm assuming reflashing will wipe out the phone?
[LG G Flex] yellowman82:
It's not going to go through if your rooted, that method only works for the at&t flex but its not confirmed working for the other varients.
[LG G Flex] brittoking:
Yea, if you really want the update before someone hopefully soon comes out with a flashable rooted 4.4 Rom then you would need to flash back to stock. Then update. Then use ioroot 25 to root 4.4. it has supposedly been updated for kit Kat according to a couple forum members.
[LG G Flex] spacemonkey333:

I upgraded via the tool and lost root on my D959. It upgraded fine, but superuser shows no binary installed.

Tried ioRoot25 and it doesn't seem to work. The phone will not boot to recovery, even via adb reboot recovery. It goes to recovery for a split second, then boots normal. I've tried the manual steps and the bat file, and no luck. Anyone have any thoughts on how to get this thing to boot to recovery?

Oddly I get an error on gapps every time the phone reboots now. EDIT: The gapps error is related to using the google keyboard. If you uninstall it and use the crappy LG one, it goes away.

After getting the KitKat update on my T-Mobile phone, I used it all day today but com.google.process.gapps would crash every time I rebooted. It was causing Maps and Google Camera to crash whenever I'd launch them. I had this happen before in the past, and disabling com.google.process.apps and then re-enabling it would fix the problem, but I couldn't even locate it in downloads/all. As a last resort, I factory reset my phone and the problem went away. It sucks that I lost everything but I was even having games like Modern Combat fail to launch after the update, but all is well now.

I firmly believe that factory resetting the device after the Android 4.4 update completes will make the phone function better. The apps that I had downloaded on 4.2 didn't like the update.
[LG G Flex] therealciviczc:
I know I seemed to be the only person around here that cared anyhow, but Google Wallet Tap and Pay appears to work on T-Mobile 959 KitKat. I'm impressed with T-mobile for not dicking it up and forcing us to use Isis. Nicely done. Now if I could just get this thing to boot to recovery.

I updated to Kit Kat last night via Lg pc suite. On my rooted Flex. Got it installed but found that you loose all colors in status bar. after consulting with T-Mobile tech support they informed me that anyone who updates to 4.4.2 will loose the status bar colors.

Any suggestions to get the colors back ?

weird firmware notice but nothing happenning..

So, this is weird..

I had my phone powered off; I plugged it in, and pushed the power button, and even though the phone was off, I immediately got a screen saying "Firmware update" "Do not unplug the usb connection until the process is complete". Below that is a small box, that says "BT100", and below that, in that box, in red letters it says ROOTED..

I never asked for the firmware update, never tried to download it, and never did anything to try and get it...

PLUS, the progress bar has been on zero for almost 10 minutes now, and nothing looks like its happening or even progressing..

Has anyone else seen this? Since its not progressing, can I disconnect the power cable, or try to reboot the phone?

Or should I leave it alone for awhile and see what happens?

Is there a specific way I should try to restart it?

I am on TMobile

thanks!

EDIT: Well, I decided to just hold the power button in, and leave the usb cable connected, and it ended up rebooting as normal, still on 4.2.2

weird stuff, especially since I never asked or approved of even checking for a firmware update.
[LG G Flex] yellowman82:
Thats normal thats download mode and it shows that. When using the flashtool to go back to stock thats where it's gonna send you to to the download mode.
