I tried OTA snatcher several times and nothing. I found the update in cache/fota but it just says dlpkgfile. I copied to my desktop but I have no idea what format it is?

It's a download package file. Those are built in most phones to be able to download carrier firmware updates from your carrier's servers. Its not something you can manipulate, or want to do so for that matter.

[LG G Flex] shwnr11:
Well did the update jump from 4.2.2 to 4.4.2, no issues so far.

But i can answer some people's questions as to why your getting two updates.

The Flex has skipped 4.3 all together. So to get you to a fully good and correct 4.4.2. You have i do 2 updates.

I had a different Android device before the flex and the first larger update is the exact size s my other device. Which got me to 4.3. And the second update same size got me to 4.4.

This might be a stupid question . I have my ATT G FLEX D950 running on Tmobile. It is on Jellybean . I am unable to pull the Kitkat update and it says "Phone is not registered on network".

Can somebody help me

He bought A Lg G Flex D956 and I carried the surprise that is not updated to KitKat And the worst thing that the Wi-Fi Is Damaged, My question is Is there any way to Update a KitKat?
[LG G Flex] therealciviczc:
I know I asked this in one of the other threads, but I don't think anyone ever answered. Since I'm on t-mobile and we're clearly going to be last to get the update, can anyone tell me if google wallet tap and pay finally works on 4.4? My understanding was that the secure element was no longer needed on 4.4, so tap and pay would likely work on most 4.4 phones. I miss tap and pay, and I wouldn't touch that pile of garbage called isis with a 10ft pole after they basically screwed us all in to being forced to use their inferior product by 'blocking' google wallet on Verizon, t-mobile, and AT&T for ages.
[LG G Flex] jesmann:
Since this is the only thread allowed to discuss Kitkat and we have multiple variants this is very confusing.

Sprint owners since they stagger the updates has anyone got it automatically or is there a way to trigger it manually and I have root with ioroot I believe what needs to be done to retain or go back to Ota?
[LG G Flex] kintwofan:
I've seen people report it working in other threads, but I'm in T-Mobile so haven't used it myself.

By the way you can relax. We won't be the last. Verizon will be a month or so after T-Mobile, they have a whole lot of bloat to add.
[LG G Flex] wase4711:
you would think that LG would insist on the carriers getting KitKat out quickly for this phone, to help boost the lame same rate that the Flex is suffering with; being able to say it has the "latest" Android OS might help with sales, but that obviously isn't happening..
[LG G Flex] NessunoComeNissa:
Carriers are not only ones which don't have KK for now, they don't have released their own versions of kitkat for non carriers models too. So don't think you're last ones whitout updates.

Seriously, Google should force constructors to feel a little more concerned about updates.
[LG G Flex] sweets55:
I'm still wondering why the Flex didn't come with KitKat. I guess they wanted to rush it out or something. As far as the Flex sales I don't think it was going to be a big seller from the get go. Most people don't want a 6" phone plus some people are spec happy and the the 720 display is a turn off.

I was thinking about trying the Z2 if it ever comes out. Sony really screwed up with the release of that phone so I guess it could be worse. lol
[LG G Flex] wase4711:
people have been buying big phones like crazy recently, with the note 1,2,3, and 5 inch plus phones are the norm, so the size of the flex shouldn't "Scare" many people from buying it; the 720p, lack of kit kat, and horrible reviews, have made this a dud as far as sales figures are concerned.

I read yesterday that Sony announced the Z2 will be coming to the USA "this summer", which doesn't tell us anything, and they didn't say which carriers would have it, but you could buy it directly from them if you want. Doesn't sound very promising at all...
[LG G Flex] sweets55:
I think some people just don't give a phablet a chance. If they did after a week they would get use to it. I mow the grass with my Flex in my shorts pocket listening to music and I don't even feel the phone in my pocket.

Sorry back on topic. Come on T-Mobile give us our damn KitKat already. lol

[LG G Flex] bryanizmir:
Ok, I'm they guy who the AT&T restore/root/update method didn't work for :( On the bright side of life, I have root! I'm going to attempt another go with the restore method at some point today. My thinking is I did the restore and root at work where I don't have wifi. That means I cannot control myself and started installing all my root applications and playing around with stuff before I tried to take the OTA. I could download the ota but my flex choked on itself and would not apply it because it detected root. Today I will do everything at home and not install anything before I update. That's the only difference I can surmise from my failure. If all fails I'm keeping 4.2.2 with root because the battery seems better on JB for no apparent reason. Of course I have no evidence to back up my claim but just feels a little better. Not very scientific, no need to flame me for my lack of proof :P

Quick question for the experts... Does it matter if I restore the V10l or V10c tot? 1st pass was with the V10l version. Figured newer is better :P
[LG G Flex] brittoking:
If V10l was that small incremental update before the big kit Kat try to update from that. I too returned to stock and then rooted and installed all my apps then tried to update several times. It was only after giving up but realizing my phone was stuck on pc software mode when connecting by usb that i requested a new one be sent out. I got the new one it was on the NEWER update (so one update ahead of where the back to stock files take you), i rooted did not touch anything and then took the update and it went thru flawlessly. Now fully rooted on kit Kat.
[LG G Flex] yellowman82:

I just got the OTA update for my G Flex on AT&T, I've been waiting for it for ages.

Loving the knock code, and the full screen mode is awesome.

But I do remember reading that the kitkat update was going to roll out on the G Flex with 4k video recording (not like I do much video recording in the first place, even if I did the 60fps 1080p is so nice) but there doesn't seem to be that function in my video recording settings. Wondering why they didn't roll it out, or if I'm just missing something.
[LG G Flex] Intub8:
Uhd is 4k video i believe.
[LG G Flex] atantekeier:
Yeah I had that option before the update, I got the phone on Feb. 5th and it had UHD (3840x2160) video. I heard that they were releasing 4096x2160 with kit kat, like I said I would probably never use it, and pretty useless all together but still, wondering what happened.

We might actually be better working with 4.2
[LG G Flex] brittoking:
+1

I don't think the recovery out will work for 4.4 either. Myself and at least two others completely bricked our AT&T 4.4 phones by trying to use the recovery apk. The only person who confirmed it working for the AT&T d950 was on 4.2 (this was as of yesterday haven't checked that thread yet today).
[LG G Flex] therealciviczc:
I liked KitKat on my Gnex significantly more than 4.2. Now I realize that's a different phone, but I just felt it ran significantly better, was better on battery, had integrated printing, and google wallet worked well with it. If t-mobile cripples google wallet, I'll probably just sell the phone and move on to another carrier, but assuming they don't cripple it, that alone is worth the upgrade for me. Its so hard to make the comparison since this will be LG's version of KitKat, but when i was dealing with stock android 4.2 vs 4.4, 4.4 was a huge improvement in my opinion.
[LG G Flex] sweets55:
I didn't use Google wallet that much but man T-Mobile is the only carrier I like right now. Sprint sucks and I wouldn't want to got to Verizon or AT&T. I've been using Isis.
