I just got the OTA this afternoon in Springfield, Missouri. I am afraid to apply the update yet. I'm running the stock rom, rooted, with xposed and a custom kernel as well as twrp and multirom installed. I guess I'll have to search some old threads cuz I'm afraid to play the update until I know if I need to get rid of root or any of those other things. I am on 10 R and the bootloader is stock as far as I know
[T-Mobile LG G3] TheCoutures:
Just got the update in Charlotte, NC. I'm rooted with stock recovery but I have Xposed and I'm not willing to give that up anytime soon. Guess I'll be clicking off Google Play Services notification to get rid of the update notice.
[T-Mobile LG G3] k000:
Just got the OTA and have it downloaded on my G3.

I am rooted with TWRP.. should I just install as is ? Or do I need to revert to Stock etc ?

[T-Mobile LG G3] hawkstwelve:
Wow lots of questions in here about taking the OTA. As far as I know, and have dealt with in the past, it is ALWAYS a good idea to revert to stock and take the OTA then. Try to get everything as "stock" as it can be (ROM, bootloader, recovery if possible) and that should provide the littlest amount of headaches. Of course, you could just wait for one of the great devs around here to make a flashable zip of the OTA (I think [MENTION=2684188]autoprime[/MENTION] might have already), flash that, and keep root/Xposed/whatever-else-you-have-installed. That is definitely the safest bet.

As always, if you are not sure about taking the OTA with your current setup, I would suggest to err on the side of caution as bootlooping can be a royal pain and I'd hate to hear of any bricked devices because you couldn't wait a few extra days to ensure proper steps have been taken. All in all, if you must take the OTA, try to get everything back to stock as possible and give it a go, otherwise I would suggest waiting until a flashable zip is created.

You will bootloop/brick your device if you try to take the OTA and TWRP is your recovery. One last time, if you have TWRP as your recovery it will be a ka-gillion times easier to flash a zip containing the OTA that I'm sure one of the developers around here will create, if it hasn't been already.

Now let's stop with the "I downloaded the OTA can I install it with this-and-that setup?" questions.

Finally . new york.
[T-Mobile LG G3] SaMirakle:
Downloading mine right meow in DFW, TX. Finally! I'll be sure to post anything worth *****ing about afterwards haha.
[T-Mobile LG G3] k000:
Very nice thing happened.. As I was stuck on TWRP installing OTA.. I downloaded the Stock 10R ROM from here wanting to revert --> https://www.androidfilehost.com/?w=files&flid=19229

But right after I installed that and rebooted by phone completed the OTA install that it was stuck at :)
[T-Mobile LG G3] RussianBear:
My friend is stuck on the road. He was on twrp and rooted. Any recourse for him? He has no access to a PC/laptop or anything else...
[T-Mobile LG G3] mjfrank:
This has been floating around

(@inshadesofgrey gets the credit, I believe.)

Anyhow. My wife found herself stuck in a TWRP bootloop and I was able to get her out of it...

If you get into a recovery boot loop (where the phone keeps booting into the recovery, and not the OS), this will fix it without losing any data. (NO FACTORY RESET NEEDED)

Go to TWRP recovery terminal commands, and enter the following:

dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/block/platform/msm_sdcc.1/by-name/fota

PRESS ENTER

THEN TYPE

dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/block/platform/msm_sdcc.1/by-name/misc

THEN PRESS ENTER

REBOOT

This should boot up your phone without any changes.

And just to clarify for the people too lazy to do the research...

TWRP = NO OTA
[T-Mobile LG G3] djerick3:
It would probably be easier just to flash BarePop which is zv8 (stock LP) debloated and just awesome. Their are 3 versions. V1 is as close to stock minus bloatware and lg tattletales. V2 is debloated some more and V3 is the themers edition minus lots of LG features. Im running v1 with xposed and love it. Im changing to v3 tonight so I can theme it different. Hope that helps!
[T-Mobile LG G3] RussianBear:
Just wanted to say thank you. Got the guy up and going. If anyone encounters errors from entering these commands, like "no space" and such, no worries, it should all be good after a reboot. You can type "reboot" in the terminal commander to reboot into system, instead of going back to twrp menu.

OTA Update

Got the update today! Tucson Arizona.
[T-Mobile LG G3] mjfrank:
No prob. Glad it worked for him!
[T-Mobile LG G3] keithindenver:
Got the update today 4-14 in Denver
[T-Mobile LG G3] acefsw:
I reverted to stock with root -- only had this LG a couple weeks, so, no big hassle-- and was going to install Autoprime's 20b OTA update but the update center gave me the notification, so going that route. Didn't see the Barepop in Tmo Rom list and, frankly, if a rom doesn't have wifi calling, I'm not interested. While I really liked CM11 and 12 on my old phone, I missed that feature a good bit, especially when traveling to places where I knew I didn't have a good signal. Plus, this is somewhat the latest from google and looking to see if we get 5.0.2-- I usually don't flash a custom rom until after support has ceased. But thanks for the suggestion.
[T-Mobile LG G3] Kawaisa:
great

too bad I''ll have to wait 2+ weeks before LG returns my phone since it died the other day for no apparent reason, at least they paid for shipping
[T-Mobile LG G3] LexLuger82:
Got it today im in Louisiana, brought life to my replacement g3 ota
[T-Mobile LG G3] shazo85:
St. Louis area got it yesterday as well. I noticed a few things after updating. The first was most of the things I had would crash. Thumb keyboard came up with a message about it crashing every few seconds and a system file did the same thing. After that everything needed updating. Apps that didn't have one before now did, and some times the updates would seem to get stuck. I had to restart once and everything worked, but even more apps came up in the store saying they had an update. After all of that I have noticed the icons for running apps that were in the left hand side of the notification bar are gone. They still seem to be running. At least I think they are. Has anyone else noticed this?
[T-Mobile LG G3] deron37129:
Nope a did a reset before updating because my phoe tryed to say there was no room for the download soon as it was the downloaded the update while it was fresh as soon as set up was done it ask me to update all apps
[T-Mobile LG G3] SaMirakle:
I had an issue with my WiFi tethering not broadcasting to a majority of devices (was only able to be found by tablets, other phones and VERY limited laptops/PCs) and now the Lollipop update fixed that woo hoo!
[T-Mobile LG G3] tidus1ph:
Anybody else experiencing a problem in turning on the wifi calling? Mine usually gets stuck to "enabling" and at times an error.

It feels aggressive too when connected to data even when you don't use the phone. The back part around the volume & power button gets hot as if the phone is doing something hard when it's on idle to begin with.

Battery is really crazy on this update. It just drops significantly at certain points when I checked the graph.
[T-Mobile LG G3] brusslesprouts:
got the update today im in mountain view california. Sd card still not being read :confused:
[T-Mobile LG G3] CoolTommy:
It's really weird: I got the OTA, downloaded it, clicked installed and restart, but when it came back up, I'm still on KK. I go to Update Phone and it says I'm up to date. What's even weirder is my phone is stock and unrooted and my wife (with the same phone and plan) was able to install the update successfully. I've tried restarting the phone many times to no avail and made sure it's charged fully...

Is Xposed working on LG G3 Lollipop ?

I have rooted the Lollipop and haev TWRP as well now..
[T-Mobile LG G3] Vegasden:
Search for Xposed beta for Lollipop. And insure you read about apks that need to be frozen first.
[T-Mobile LG G3] twiifm:
Xposed keeps crashing if you don't disable circle case.

I kind of wondered when this question would be asked after yesterday.

My WiFi calling is not working after LP OTA. So, that gargles big fat rhinoceros nuts.
[T-Mobile LG G3] Swizzle82:
What error are you getting? Who's your wifi provider?
[T-Mobile LG G3] gabrielshaste:
Anyone less than happy with the lock screen notifications? I know you can customize them and all, but the silly card for every notification is very off putting. Additionally, apps that had lock screen controls like smart audiobook player look goofy with the card interface instead of being seamless with the lockscreen itself.

Sent from my G3
[T-Mobile LG G3] ThePagel:
I agree, not every notification needs to be displayed. What really got me disappointed is the silent, vibrate, speaker options have been stripped from the power long hold menu.
[T-Mobile LG G3] Swizzle82:
I'll take one too please. Not a real big fan of any of the card notification. I liked the older version better.
[T-Mobile LG G3] DudeThatsErin:
I agree. My favorite candy is Kitkat so I doubt I'll ever want to update. The phone works well as is.

Sent from my T-Mobile Carrier locked LG G3 with root. Stock ROM.
[T-Mobile LG G3] Swizzle82:
If they had included Volte pre-lollipop I wouldn't have upgrades. It was damn near perfect for me.
[T-Mobile LG G3] kTreb:
My WiFi calling is very temperamental with the update, and I have the T-Mobile cellspot. I think there may be software related issues going on because mine worked fine before the update.
[T-Mobile LG G3] Pu$$nBooT$:
my wifi calling is having issues sometimes it works and other times it gets stuck trying to enable... I flashed mine via kdz file
[T-Mobile LG G3] AndroidPurity:
Updated mine yesterday. It kept prompting me that Google Play Services Required an Update. But when I clicked on the notification to go into the play store, said I was up to date with the newest 7.0.99 version. Tried clearing the cache of Google Play Services but still did not get rid of the notification. It also said Android Web View was not compatible with my device despite prompting me to download it. It was also extremely laggy clicking on things would take like 3-4 seconds for an app to open a lot of the time.

So I did a hard reset, started fresh. Everything is good so far the past 30 hours or so. However I have not been using it as my daily driver. Will be switching back over to it as my daily driver for a while (until Nexus 5 gets the next update), and see how it is. So far I am pretty impressed at how much LG cleaned up 5.0.1 because it was horrible on my Nexus 5. Was not until 5.1 when Lollipop got good. I still really really hope LG will update to at least 5.1 before stopping updates for G3. I have faith they will since even the G2 went from 4.2.2 to 4.4.2 . Then went to 5.0.2.

Some say they are having wifi calling issues, but I had it occasionally not work on 4.4.2 too. But have not tested on lollipop yet.
[T-Mobile LG G3] turbodroid:
I also had an update required on Google Play Services. I cleared cache on that and also on Google Play Store and it cleared that issue up.
[T-Mobile LG G3] frappe33:
Same issue with lack of WiFi calling post OTA. Settings/Tethering & Networks /Wi-Fi Calling is on but just says 'Enabling' . Occasionally I see the Red WiFi calling error notification but not always. Bummer.
[T-Mobile LG G3] kTreb:
Same here, I updated when Autoprime posted his 20B zips back at the end of March. So it looks like we're all 3 having the same issue and updated 3 different ways. Must be software.

WiFi calling works but breaks Netflix if set preferred

My WiFi calling works, although it has given me some error messages at times. They clear up if I cycle it on/off. What I can not get around is it breaking Netflix. If i have it on and preferred it will not allow Netflix to stream. The app will open but content fail. I have tried every sort of reset, re-install and different AP's. Worked fine before the update and still works in other call modes.
[T-Mobile LG G3] DudeThatsErin:
I just got mine this morning so since 5am (I woke up then by choice and have been fully rested ever since) I've been unrooting, installing updates, rooting, and customizing. I'm almost finished. I'm still working on my home screens but I got Tweaksbox 1.4 Alpha installed and it is working perfectly and I have customized everything. Before I upgrade to 5.1 I'm definitely learning how to make a nandroid backup cause this is annoying.

I'm also running into the "android.process.acore has stopped" error. Uninstalling FB seems to have done it. Gonna download the version that doesn't connect to the contacts app in a few minutes.

wifi calling seems to be the only issue thats' not just a tmobile g3 issue.

my wifes g3 on sprint is having the same problems.

all the other issues got fixed after a factory reset or clean install.
[T-Mobile LG G3] DudeThatsErin:
My g3 is working just fine.

I've heard lp has battery draining issues anyone noticed that on the g3?
[T-Mobile LG G3] tidus1ph:
I give up on this rom. I can live on hangouts while wifi calling doesn't have a fix but heating up like crazy on 3g/4g & sudden battery drops questions the reliability of the device. I'll stick with cm 12.1. Losing laser autofocus & some camera features hurts though.
[T-Mobile LG G3] dspcap:
Using Autoprimes lp Rom and battery is fantastic.

I dont know why people complained about lollipop , its so smooth and awesome on my device. But i didn't get VoLTE ! How is that possible ?
[T-Mobile LG G3] Swizzle82:
What do you mean? You have to turn it on under call settings and it only works if you live in a Volte enabled market.
[T-Mobile LG G3] dspcap:
Tmobile usually enables it automatically.
[T-Mobile LG G3] midnightslide:
Attempted to "JUMP" from my G3 to a nice, shiny white S6 64gb. Got the phone, and entered my "honeymoon" phase. For the first few days, I was in love.

It was very short lived. Here's why:

1. The camera is PHENOMENAL. Hands down, the best camera on the market.

2. The battery life was pretty decent at first, but has quickly tapered off for some reason. Don't plan on doing much with the phone and having it last a full day. That's probably why they incorporated the quick charge feature - which makes the phone extremely warm to the touch, but does the job.

3. The build quality is outstanding. However, the slim bezels don't rival the ones on my G3 in any way. It frequently has issues with some part of my hand touching the screen and causing random jumps/hiccups/etc. It has become extremely annoying, to say the least. this doesn't just happen for me. I was showing a friend something in quick note, and they kept entering "edit" mode. They got frustrated, handed my phone back to me, and asked me to scroll for them.

4. The android keyboard is terrible. It lags, and isn't very accurate at all.

5. The phone has been laggy, unresponsive, and flat-out choppy at times. At times meaning very frequently. Very frequently meaning at least 3-4 times a day. Most of the time, it is for seemingly no reason at all. In fact, today, the touch screen just stopped working on the launcher, and I had to reboot the phone to get it to work again. This ruined an otherwise awesome photo op of my son.

6. The screen is beautiful. However, in direct light, it can still be a bit on the dim side.

7. The fingerprint sensor works pretty damn well. It still fails to recognize my thumbprint AT LEAST 4-5x a day, but it was only a minor annoyance in lieu of the convenience.

8. As many others have mentioned, the volume buttons are way too high on the side of the phone.

9. Coming from a G3, the screen seems cramped when texting, and almost tiny in comparison to the G3.

10. Apps frequently fail to open. They will open for a moment, and as soon as they maximize on the screen (animation-wise) they close. No clue as to why this happens, but it does it a LOT. Especially with KiK.

11. This phone is

SLIPPERY

! Don't even think about sitting it on your lap or any surface other than a flat one. It isn't going to happen. I am extremely cautious when handing it to anyone, and it often takes a few different tries when grabbing it out of my pocket before I feel confident that my grip is secure enough. I know, I know. "Get a case". Well, no. Why buy a phone as beautiful as the S6 and hide it under a case? It sounds ridiculous to me. To each their own.

For those reasons, I am sending the phone back and sticking with my G3 until something better comes along. Maybe I will try the Note 5 if it shows the same promise as the S6, and offers a much larger battery. Maybe the G4 will be amazing. Either way, I am not committing to the S6 (and its price tag), when it is only marginally better, in some very small ways, to the G3.

Just my opinion. Take it with a grain of salt.
[T-Mobile LG G3] bikrame:
No , we do have to enable our self. i did.
[T-Mobile LG G3] dspcap:
Interesting... I didn't and the articles I read say T-Mobile turns it on for us.
[T-Mobile LG G3] SmileBigNow:
And now comes the sad part of the update

T-Mobile has Paused the update of rolling out for now without any given reason!
[T-Mobile LG G3] knottyhead843:
Probably because of the wifi calling issues
[T-Mobile LG G3] smallyetzon:
Any improvement on battery life with L update?
[T-Mobile LG G3] Shad0wguy:
Good to know, as I just got a G3 and was wondering why there was no update waiting for me. Hopefully it is to iron out some bugs.
[T-Mobile LG G3] Pu$$nBooT$:
So, does this mean their will be a newer kdz file from the 20b that was released some time ago ? or just a ota for ones who are on ll? and im rooted too...
[T-Mobile LG G3] dspcap:
Your going to always get different opinions on this, depends how you use your phone. I am very happy with the battery life, but I have seen others complain.
[T-Mobile LG G3] tidus1ph:
I complained this on their twitter account. :p

Hopefully they also fix the heating issues when connected to 3g or 4g & sudden battery drops.
[T-Mobile LG G3] Pirate43:
Pardon the noob question but I am rooted and have TWRP installed on kit Kat. If I take the over the air lollipop update will I lose root? Is there a recommended update method?
[T-Mobile LG G3] dspcap:
If you have twrp, don't take the ota. You are better off using autoprimes rom.

I would recommend doing some reading first on the threads.
[T-Mobile LG G3] TheCoutures:
T-Mobile now lists the G3 Lollipop Update back again as testing. I'm glad I stuck with KitKat, I honestly don't see an advantage to Lollipop on the G3 with LG's U.I. and lack of implementing many Lollipop features.
[T-Mobile LG G3] ThePagel:
The little changes to the ui is a nice refreshment but volte is pointless in my opinion and should be turned off immediately after updating. As the days roll on I'm finding it harder and harder to like this phone so that little ui change sparked enough of a flame to get me to my next phone on friday. Oh and I cant remember if the lg keyboard sucked this bad on K or if its a new development (I was on the Google keyboard before).
[T-Mobile LG G3] dakpluto:
LG Keyboard always sucked. Only decent thing it ever did was include the number row, which was nice. AOSP and Swiftkey far better.
[T-Mobile LG G3] truckerdewd:
For those that are wondering, I found this on the Tmobile support forums from one of the Tforce specialists.

"After beginning a phased rollout, the software update has been put on hold while we work with LG to improve the experience for you guys! We’re working as fast as possible and hope to begin rolling the update back out by the end of May. Check here for the latest!"

This is per tmo_jennifer on the suport forums under the the Why Can't I Download 5.0 Lollipop On My Phone.

The update has been fine for me and my wife aside from the wifi calling stuck enabling issue, I don't use it but it works fine on my wife's G3. Only other issue I had was slow speeds when connected to wifi but that ended up being caused by a faulty wireless gateway, once the Comcast tech came out and replaced it, wifi speeds picked back up.
[T-Mobile LG G3] kafepuya:
Thanks for that! Although, tbh, as soon as WiFi calling is implemented into AOSP, I will bid farewell to stock roms.
[T-Mobile LG G3] joemossjr:
There ya go.
[T-Mobile LG G3] SmileBigNow:
Few issues: #1 WiFi calling simply doesn't work! #2 Your 4G LTE will keep on dropping will go on and off for no apparent reason #3 Problems with sending out text and MMS massages #4 massive battery drain problem, as of right now there is no ETA on when the new build will be done, but every G3 owner regardless if you are on Lollipop or not you will receive this new update since build number 20B is faulty,

There are probably more minor issues like freezing and being very slow while opening apps etc and probably some other minor issues but those 4 are the main big issues
[T-Mobile LG G3] joemossjr:
Honestly my Wi-Fi calling is working fine and lte is working fine. I actually walked in my house today and it automatically enabled
[T-Mobile LG G3] DroidApprentice:
They were so late anyway, they should have just waited for 5.1 and ended up with a better update. I'm glad I refused the update and was surprised to see the notification stop after about a week.

I received a replacement device yesterday that was of course on KK. I saw the Lollipop update was paused, but I hooked the phone up to the LG Mobile Support Tool and did an upgrade recovery under Options. This pushed the factory Lollipop update to the phone. Just an FYI for anyone that wants to receive it while they are working out the bugs.
[T-Mobile LG G3] ThePagel:
I jumped from the g3 with it on L. Some lucky (or unlucky if they downgrade it) person will get a phone already running L. I really hope they don't flash KK firmware because of the downgrade network connection issues.
[T-Mobile LG G3] dasche:
Is it possible to flash via this tool without internet? I mean I have all the KDZ files but KDZ related tools are not successful with me. I was wondering if we could just put the KDZ file in some folder where this LG Mobile Support Tool looks for? Do you have any Idea about that?
