Don't know when official update will hit our phones but I thought on xda we will get cm12(lollipop based) atleast before new year.

But still there is no news for that too.:crying:

[MENTION=4736166]naveenultimategamer[/MENTION], no one will believe that. But a real Motorola engineer gives the status of Moto G here. Looks like Moto E is in the second batch. I expect updates to be there by Jan end or mid February. Apparently, they're having a hell lot of bugs. You'll see the Moto Update Services app update when they're ready.

so the moto e will get the official update buy ota. Thank you, i am now very excited.;)
[Moto E Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gurr4m:
+1... There's a lot of bugs in Lollipop, specially the memory management bugs...

Reports suggest Android 5.1 is around the corner, end Feb release...

I'm thinking Moto is waiting for 5.1 to be released and then provide OTA...

They just want to provide one last major update and wash their hands off...

maybe they will continue...as far as i am seeing..motorola is announcing updates on the basis of the year they are released in..and there wont be a problem for us cuz android one phones are there with similar specs..which will get updates for next 2 years..so do we..anyways there are custom roms..may be we will get official cyanogen mod for our phone..

[Galaxy S Advance I9070 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] enricomarc:
is there someone that are thinking to develop a rom for s advance based on android L 5.0 that are coming up?

i think s advance has some potential, so i hope someone make a rom
[Galaxy S Advance I9070 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] AntaresOne:
From this thread:

Android 5.0 Lollipop from Team Canjica probably will never see the light. In our opinion, Galaxy S Advance and in generally STE-based devices are too weak to handle well another Android major release.

The fact is that more time passes, more OS and applications become heavier and complex.

Was a pain to get a "stable" (between quotes since still has some issues like huge battery drain, that can't be fixed) Kitkat.

Another major release means heavier, more complex, CPU even with OC is too slow to handle and execute well threads, RAM memory is too little and this means lags, impossibility to run big apps and the Mali 400 single core GPU is too weak for more complex graphic effects in games that will come and especially in transitions between menus, pull down status bar etc. The last perfect major release for this device is Jelly Bean 4.3, to build any major release means that we need to research and find (with A LOT OF TESTING) how to fix bugs, means that we need to develop new OMX patches to make camera and videos working. KitKat is okay but huge battery drain and a lot of lags are signal that it's the last major release that these STE devices can handle in a non-stable way against JB 4.3 that it's almost (to not say "totally") stable. Now, stop a moment and imagine Lollipop, totally ruined user experience. Do you wanna live together with device lagging 99/100 times (1/100 without lags rightly after power on, maybe) and with charger always connected? We should be lords of our devices, not slaves. Nobody of us still uses a STE device and without is totally impossible to develop what has never been developed, if you want to keep updated I'm sure that you would change device asap, today even a 100€ device is more powerful than these. Janice will be 3 years old on April 2015, it's just the future coming...

We loved this device, development, known good guys here... Officially this device died on 4.1, Team Canjica gave you 3 major releases!!!

Never forget :)

I just received the prompt to do a System Update, see the image below:

Does anyone have any idea what it is? Lollipop?? ;)

If anyone has installed it, does it break root?
[Verizon LG G3] ryman222:
I installed it and now I'm stuck in recovery (TWRP). Can't figure out how to boot back into system no matter what I do. Any suggestions would be appreciated.
[Verizon LG G3] sfreeman422:
Interested in knowing if this breaks root as well. Til then, no install for me.
[Verizon LG G3] Skyrocketing:
No idea. Got the update notification just now but since I'm rooted and on a custom ROM, I don't think I should flash it.
[Verizon LG G3] spotmark:
If you're rooted, and unlocked, I would avoid this update like the plague. Give the devs time to look at it.
[Verizon LG G3] Dobrah:
Just got the same message. It looks forced, you cant get rid of the message without adding a time to postpone until. I did 10am tomorrow, hoping it wont auto-update at that time and will bring the prompt back so i can postpone again. If anyone knows what apps to disable so that this cant happen that info would be great right now
[Verizon LG G3] autoprime:
I suggest never taking an OTA update if you aren't 100% stock.. and def never do one if on TWRP.

General info on taking OTA - http://xdaforums.com/lg-g3/development/psa-stop-taking-ota-updates-update-t2909412

I'd assume this new OTA update today will block ioroot and stump from working. Whether a previously rooted phone will retain root through the OTA is a gamble.. may or may not work. Some have reported already that root has stuck thru the OTA. So might luck out with this one. For those who are not rooted and take the OTA update.. gaining root again may not be so easy (without downgrading).

Without seeing the bootloader.. can't say if Bump is blocked. Most likely not yet though.
[Verizon LG G3] sfreeman422:
Yeahh if we could get that, that'd be great. I don't wanna have to deal with breaking root/unlocked bootloader.
[Verizon LG G3] Skyrocketing:
What I did when it asked for a time to update was just press the home button. Then it went into a notification saying an update is available. I think that'll keep it at bay.
[Verizon LG G3] killswitch23456:
If you just press the back button itll stay in your notifications, but it wont force you to do anything. Notice the blue checkmark.

[Verizon LG G3] android-incredible:
Guys just freeze system update with titanium backup...
[Verizon LG G3] SenorDeuce:
Lollipop? On Verizon? Hilarious.

I took the update. I'm not an expert but it looks like it's just an update from software version B to C. It puts a camera shortcut on the lock screen, which isn't really necessary given the back button shortcut. Still missing the rom I had on my Galaxy Nexus, which was more current than this. Love my phone, hate having outdated Android.

Root does not appear to be affected. I am not a dev, just a rooted phone owner so take that for what it's worth.

[Verizon LG G3] tprindle77:
I caught wind of this on reddit before the update showed up and had a feeling my IORoot/Bump unlock setup wouldn't agree with this OTA. I used TiBu to freeze "System updates 1_13_10_0" and made a nandroid backup just in case. All good so far. Several redditors with custom recovery softbricked when they tried to install it, so this seems like the way to go for now.

[Verizon LG G3] Sparty73:
Anyone know where the update is stored once downloaded? I'm assuming it's somewhere in the system folder, but not sure where to look.
[Verizon LG G3] annoyingduck:
[MENTION=5973299]acparker18[/MENTION] there are many users that willingly took it, but also many that had it install automatically without fully knowing what happened. This update was sneaky... It downloaded by itself while idle and a simple wrong push of a button would start the install.

The hope now resides in figuring out a way to roll back for them, and more importantly for potential developers that don't yet have this phone...
[Verizon LG G3] kendive:
Most all updates from Verizon are Garbage better to not update and wait for custom roms to update.
[Verizon LG G3] terminal13:
Exactly. I've had Verizon's gnex for the last two years and don't think it ever took an official ota. Ftw.

just for fun I......
[Verizon LG G3] lexluthor:
Yes, except survival mode isn't required.

Personally, I don't care about unlocking or custom Roms, I just need root. I think there are a lot of people who feel the same.
[Verizon LG G3] 318sugarhill:
For most of time root is all I need as well.... But in a year... 18 months... My phone will be just fine... But the carrier/manufacturer stops updating it. I like the option of custom recovery to upgrade my OS.... Even if the carrier won't.

Also... Android is severely lacking behind apple in the ability to backup and restore your phone. That is why I like to have a custom recovery. The ability to make a nandroid backup is priceless. The other day my Pebble locker app screwed up and locked me out of my phone. After 10 incorrect tries it factory reset my phone! Having a backup to restore was priceless.

Custom roms are great and the world of Android would be less fun without them... But it would be the end of the world for me without them.... IF android started a real backup ability in their future versions. Just restoring my Gmail account doesn't always give me back my WiFi connections, and other data that are vital to my day to day living.
[Verizon LG G3] jmotyka:
I actually find all of this hilarious. I can imagine the Verizon/Lg. Developers looking at these threads and laughing their butts off. Im usually not someone who laughs at others misery but it is common knowledge to avoid otas, there were warnings all over the place before the ota and even after the first couple people that took the update sent their warnings about the update. I feel bad for you all but at the same time i dont. You are so impatient when it comes to gettinf the latest and greatest that you gambled and lost.
[Verizon LG G3] Colchiro:
You're much more polite than me..... I probably would have called them dumba$$e$.... :D
[Verizon LG G3] skruid:
I am rooted on the new update and want to install bump, but it appears that verizon/lg have remove Ethernet mode as an option when plugging in usb. My question is about how to get adb working when I don't have the option for Ethernet mode?

P.s. I know I shouldn't have takin the update but I feel the way that they blocked bump was removing the Ethernet option. I am trying to find a way to install bump with this New update to see if there is a way. I took the update for this reason. I believe if I can get abd to conne t than twrp/bump will install. What do you people thinks about flashify apk. I thought I read something about flashing twrp/bump with that, did this work on software before this update. Thanks in advance for answers my blogging friends.

ilI have updated my post with a little more information on what I did to achieve root through downgrading my firmware, hopeful this helps out, would bbc.co like to see the full potential of this phone, I will help where I can.
[Verizon LG G3] th3bl3d:
Alright guys, I have installed TWRP on 11c while rooted. here is the path that i have taken to get there

I enabled survival mode in supersu and took the OTA (I did not do anything with root on 10c i never installed xposed removed bloatware ETC no freezing nothing to modify my phone)

After the update took i checked with root checker. sure enough root was still there.

I then installed the ADB drivers located here http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?p=48915118#post48915118

After installing and running ADB shell on my PC my phone asked to grant SU i approved

i then followed the directions here to put TWRP on my phone http://xdaforums.com/verizon-lg-g3/orig-development/bump-unlock-lg-g3-twrp-verizon-t2900590

GUESS WHAT IT WORKED i'm now running TWRP on 11C. I don't know why you guys are all scared of this update. i don't think it patched anything....maybe rollbacks, but who cares if this all works.
[Verizon LG G3] Tillmorn:
The only frustrating thing for me concerning everyone who is complaining about taking the OTA or it being forced on them is the fact that we've found and discussed two methods since the G3 was released stateside, that keeps OTAs from being taken. Whether it be due to user error or it updating in the background. They're both simple as hell to do, and they work. Both methods have been available since within the first month Verizon started selling the G3. Couple that with the countless warnings [MENTION=2684188]autoprime[/MENTION], [MENTION=1157052]thecubed[/MENTION] and others have given users concerning OTAs (like all Devs have done for years), and you've really no one but yourself to blame if you're stuck on the update with no root and no way back.
[Verizon LG G3] skruid:
Thank you was looking for a way to install this on 11c, I took the update also, just because I thought that this could still be done some how. Thank you very much man.

Wanted to let you know that it was successful and that I made a backup and it worked
[Verizon LG G3] autoprime:
never claimed it wouldnt work.. but if you ever have to flash a stock tot to recover from something you're now stuck flashing 11C or higher only.. which has no root currently. And with no root... no bump. Then you have a bumpable bootloader and no way to get to it.

Yes, things will work if they follow your exact path... but you've now locked a door behind you that never needed to be touched to begin with. I see no reason to take the OTA and upgrade the bootstack. is your phone faster and better now? ... probably not. could have waited a few days and manually flashed the system/boot/modem images and been on latest stock without updating bootstack.

At this point.. I'm done warning people. I now encourage those who are curious to indeed take that OTA. The grass is always greener on the other side.
[Verizon LG G3] skruid:
Autoprime and who ever else was involved with stump and bump. Thank you guys this is awesome and I can confirm that I have working twrp on 11c software, I even made a backup and changed a few things and restored that backup and everything was the way it was before I changed anything. This is a sweet deal cause I came from and galaxy nexus and missed roming, so glad to have this hack for lg g3 vs985. I can't thank you enough for this. thank you, thank you, thank you. By the way there was no fear here I was going foe it, even if it meant a softbrick and I would have to reflash system with lg flash tool.
[Verizon LG G3] th3bl3d:
Autoprime, i meant no offense I just wanted to show the community that it can be done. I appreciate all the hard work you and other people put into this and wanted to try to give back to the community for once.

on another note, i was able to follow the directions in this post http://xdaforums.com/verizon-lg-g3/general/restore-verizon-to-stock-t2827878

and TOT restore back to 10b. I have posted a screenshot to show that it has worked.

again I meant no offense and I appreciate everything you guys do. THANK YOU!
[Verizon LG G3] autoprime:
all good.. I should have directed my frustration elsewhere... it's not what you said said at all.. just that users will now listen to that more than a warning. Sorry about that. But I am done warning people... the word is out there.. up to users to apply info. I know I can't save everyone.. but accepting that is easier said than done.

but very interesting stuff you've posted above. I had known bump wasn't patched.. just that bootloader rollback of some sort was in effect.. some things in the new boot stack have been changed giving it some new "versioning"... and "versioning" has not been applied for at least the last 3 generations of LG phones that allowed downgrading... mix that with the reports of others not being able to downgrade... and full anti-rollback was assumed. Perhaps full antirollback needs to come in stages.. and 11C was stage one.

So you just did the downgrade and that was that? No setbacks? If that's the case... what the heck is everyone else goin on about? Lol.. no seriously... I don't have the VS985 so all I can do is go by whats stated on XDA and IRC.

[MENTION=4043300]th3bl3d[/MENTION] can you pull aboot and sbl1 from your phone on 10B (if its still on 10B) and send me the files? I'm curious if LG Flash allowed rollback of the bootstack. I assume it would... since it worked.. but just wanna make sure. Also.. what LG Flash version did you use exactly? and which .dll exactly was paired with TOT? Perhaps the issues are with what versions people are using.
[Verizon LG G3] willyjay:
Just want to chime in to give as much info as possible....wish I could share my G3 with you autoprime, but can't be without it at this time.

Going into device manager, then view and show hidden devices, the G3 still shows under ports and is at COM41 (LGE AndroidNet for VZW USB Serial Port (COM41)). However, it shows the device is not connected....with and without being connected (going into the device properties is says "Currently, this hardware device is not connected to the computer (Code 45)). Kind of seems like a driver issue seeing as the device is showing as not connected under ports....the pc isn't recognizing that it's connected.

Also, it appears my LG Flash Tool still get's to the "ready" point, even without the phone connected.

Just my $0.02......and I'm not mad that I took the OTA cause root is not essential, but a nice option to have.
[Verizon LG G3] th3bl3d:
[MENTION=2684188]autoprime[/MENTION] i used LGVS985_20140620_LGFLASHv160.dll and VS98510B_03.tot using LGflash V1.8.1.1023

do i need to root my phone again to pull those files for you? i'm still bone stock
[Verizon LG G3] autoprime:
you would need root yes.. but if not rooted and not planning on it.. don't worry about it. Which version on LG Flash(PC app) did you use? 1.6, 1.8.1, 1.8.6 ?

if anyone OTA's to 11C then manages to TOT back to 10B.. I'd like to see the aboot and sbl1 that's pulled from the downgraded phone after you went back to 10B.

[Verizon LG G3] THEbigSWEEN:
The only thing I'm interested in from this update (or ANY OTA for that matter) is the new radios. Everything else I'll get from here on XDA, but new radios are the only reason I get even the slightest bit excited about OTA's. Otherwise not worth the risk of being trapped on completely stock firmware. Hopefully someone will get a flashable .zip of the new baseband for those of us who err on the side of caution and didn't jump on the OTA. ;)
[Verizon LG G3] th3bl3d:
I agree. the only reason i took the update is because i'm on the Verizon EDGE plan and don't ever want to ROM my phone because I will be trading it in next year to get a newer device. I will side with [MENTION=2684188]autoprime[/MENTION] in saying NEVER take a verizon OTA.

I saw on droid-life that people were taking the OTA and still retaining root so i saw no risk for myself, but others who are planning on Rom-ing their phones better always lock out VZW updates completely because in a matter of time they will patch these exploits.
[Verizon LG G3] autoprime:
ok, got the images and checked em out. thank you!

they are indeed back to the original 10B images... the version has gone back down to 0. Very very strange. It would appear this is not yet full anti-rollback.

I guess we sit and wait for what's next. Hopefully everyone that's unrooted on 11C can go back to 10B at some point.

and you saw how easy it was to flash back to stock.. you could totally ROM your phone and bring it back to stock before you trade it back in ;)

and for those wanting the 11C modem.. hopefully someone that took the OTA can dump it for you..
