T-Mobile just updated their support page and it shows LG G3 as being "Completed" now. My bet is OTA starts rolling out pretty steady from this moment on.

https://support.t-mobile.com/community/phones-tablets-devices/software-updates#tmoSUPDocTitle
[T-Mobile LG G3] deron37129:
Even if they were rolling out in waves somebody some where would have reported reciveing the ota. I find it hard to believe that in each block of serial numbers there isnt an xda user or member of some other mobile website in the mix
[T-Mobile LG G3] iBustCh3rries:
Except that not everyone who has this phone mods or roots and would have no reason to know XDA or any forum like it exist, There for would not report.
[T-Mobile LG G3] N!ghtgold:
I got that error once. It turned out I fat fingered the IMEI number.

Try it again.. If you still have an issue I have an IMEI number that I can post for a broken device that will work
[T-Mobile LG G3] iBustCh3rries:
People on reddit are confirming that the OTA is rolling out as of 1am EST
[T-Mobile LG G3] bikrame:
2:37 in EST no OTA !!
[T-Mobile LG G3] iBustCh3rries:
It rolls out brotha
[T-Mobile LG G3] bikrame:
I am still not getting it. 11 am in nyc

How do I fix battery drain issue. I did a clean kdz flash btw
[T-Mobile LG G3] cabiggs152:
I got that error twice now but my phone is brand new please help me out im stressing haha
[T-Mobile LG G3] ThePagel:
Or it could be if the My T-Mobile app ever reported your phone as rooted they put you at the backend of the roll out. I doubt thats the case because some people with a g3 on this site that never rooted. But its not out of the realm of possibilities.
[T-Mobile LG G3] deron37129:
Myself i have never rooted the g3 but something aint right in rome thats for sure

Not in NYC too.
[T-Mobile LG G3] Swizzle82:
I restored my phone again through the support tool, it worked. I have the titan gray though.. I kept everything important off the internal, wiped it in twrp along with a factory reset.. it helped a little with battery drain, but a lot of little glitches went away. I had an issue with wifi calling, but found it was stupid Time Warner Cable. So far using the support tool or at least wiping everything including internal helps..
[T-Mobile LG G3] deron37129:
Smh
[T-Mobile LG G3] N!ghtgold:
For those who are getting "the check serial number and model error message" This is an IMEI number that will work this phone is broke. The IMEI number works as I just tried it in the update tool.

014088000837418
[T-Mobile LG G3] kurtis.austin2:
Using an imei of a phone that's not yours won't hurt anything will it?
[T-Mobile LG G3] Wingman520:
Agreed. Wouldn't be 100% Okay with this since it is checking the IMEI when you're doing this update.
[T-Mobile LG G3] ThePagel:
The imei is for identification only. I used two diffrent imei numbers to download 2 kdz files. They were identical in every way, from hash to hex and every thing else I could dream up identical.
[T-Mobile LG G3] N!ghtgold:
The IMEI number is only used to check to see if there is an update available. If you don't plug your phone in you can actually located the .KDZ file that is downloaded. Its the same one that is posted in another thread.

You can always just download the .KDZ file and just flash it to your phone.
[T-Mobile LG G3] xs2k:
Will this work for the white version?
[T-Mobile LG G3] SaMirakle:
I tried using going this route but I keep getting a damn error that doesn't make any sense. I just put a full battery in my phone and for some reason it thinks the battery is low.. .OR... apparently there isn't an upgrade available. LAME. Been waiting for this stupid update for 2 days now. Guess we need to be more patient ugh.

[IMG="Screenshot"]http://i.imgur.com/YQaM0N4.png[/IMG]
[T-Mobile LG G3] Wingman520:
I just tried to download with no phone plugged in. It asked me to plug in my phone. I'm going to download and dive into this to see if it'll upgrade my phone or give me a nightmare if I can download it.
[T-Mobile LG G3] kurtis.austin2:
Same error message here. I just want this damn update.
[T-Mobile LG G3] Jimmyjoe:
This worked perfectly for me.... Thanks Nightgold!

I will add that after the update my phone ran like absolute crap and i had to do a complete factory reset.

Runs like a dream now.
[T-Mobile LG G3] kurtis.austin2:
This won't even work for me... been trying for hours.
[T-Mobile LG G3] N!ghtgold:
Message me so we can try and figure out whats going on

It doesnt matter what color the device is the software will be the same..
[T-Mobile LG G3] javaman83:
That totally worked for me with the White model. Upgrading apps right now.

Thanks!
[T-Mobile LG G3] N!ghtgold:
Im glad i can help out.. Like JimmyJoe said do a factory reset after updating.
[T-Mobile LG G3] mus.aitelhaj:
Thanks bro. I tryed the imei thing and it works. Am from morocco and i did get the lollipop. Working fine so far
[T-Mobile LG G3] VivaLaCam92:
tried upgrading using the imei number listed and it always gives me some error about my phone not being connected. although it always sees it the first time around.

& yes... the drivers are installed.

TWC Issues?

I'm on TWC with some WiFI calling funkiness. What stupidness from TWC? Local ? Global?
[T-Mobile LG G3] hakim397:
Had the same issue. Heres the fix:

1. Use IMEI steps as listed but dont connect phone.

2. Turn off phone

3. Put in download mode

4. Push retry on the LG tool

This will work just finished it now
[T-Mobile LG G3] djkinetic:
Was getting all types of connection and timeout errors, trying to flash the KDZ manually, just figured out my problem, was the update process doesnt like USB 3.0 ports used my 2.0 port on the laptop and like magic it went right through.
[T-Mobile LG G3] xs2k:
Did you have to factory reset phone?
[T-Mobile LG G3] Swizzle82:
They upgraded the firmware on my modem and it effed up my signal. I was still getting decent internet access, but it was slow enough to mess up my wifi calling. They factory reset my modem and tuned the channels and it's better than it was before they messed it up.
[T-Mobile LG G3] hakim397:
I dont think I had to, but I did anyways. Didnt want anything happening down the line and regretting not doing a factory reset. Use the LG backup and restore tool. Done in 4 mins backs up everything.
[T-Mobile LG G3] VivaLaCam92:
That's the problem!!! changed over to the 1 usb 2.0 port i have on my desktop and it worked flawlessly.
[T-Mobile LG G3] smallyetzon:
Can i flash this being rooted?? Or do i have to unroot before??
[T-Mobile LG G3] N!ghtgold:
It will put your phone back to stock. I might be wrong but im pretty sure it will.
[T-Mobile LG G3] scaleaton:
So do we either wait for the lollipop OTA or if we want it use the IMEI number provided? I have the White G3 and have yet to get anything.
[T-Mobile LG G3] VivaLaCam92:
I'd go ahead and use the imei method if you're impatient like me.

my sister inlaw has the black model 4 hours away from me in in NC and hasn't gotten a thing while i have the white model in SC and just couldn't wait any longer and used the imei method a few hours ago.

**note** idk why people were originally having radio issues and stuff with doing so but so far i've got nothing... volte works and all, no lag or anything either... all i did was immediately boot into stock recovery and reset everything after the first bootup.
[T-Mobile LG G3] scaleaton:
I wanna update to Lollipop but I don't wanna do a factory reset. I hate doing that lol having to re download all my apps is a pain.
[T-Mobile LG G3] VivaLaCam92:
thats why we have all these cool apps that can back up and restore things.
[T-Mobile LG G3] N!ghtgold:
As long as their apps in the android market it will restore them back to the device with just one check box one of the great features of lollipop... Its always a good idea to master reset after an update tho
[T-Mobile LG G3] scaleaton:
what back up app do you recommend?
[T-Mobile LG G3] N!ghtgold:
Are you referring to apps or just your personal content
[T-Mobile LG G3] scaleaton:
not my contacts or anything but apps like solo launcher, dropbox, spotify, skype etc.
[T-Mobile LG G3] N!ghtgold:
With lollipop it keeps track of the apps you had on your device so it will redownload them when you set it back up..
[T-Mobile LG G3] scaleaton:
okay thank you! I got no OTA today and I'm sick of waiting. i just seen a lot of people say it has issues or they don't like it. I got a few friends that have Galaxy S 5 and it made there phone slow.
[T-Mobile LG G3] N!ghtgold:
I havent had any issues.. The battery life isnt as good as kit kat but i still can make it through the day no problem
[T-Mobile LG G3] scaleaton:
I'm already use to not having good battery life on my G3. I came from a Xperia Z3 which had amazing battery life.
[T-Mobile LG G3] Memnoch30:
What made you switch? The awful camera?
[T-Mobile LG G3] SaMirakle:
My battery life is TERRIBLE on my G3... 3000 mAh sounded so damn good and then PTHHHHHHHH.

I ended up buying a couple of some crappy Chinese aftermarket batteries off eBay to swap out throughout the day. I have to swap batteries 1-2 times a day now.
[T-Mobile LG G3] LexLuger82:
How is battery life?
[T-Mobile LG G3] scaleaton:
haha pretty much I wanna say it was the software and not the camera but I dunno. There is times it took great pictures but then its crappy pictures most of the time. I love the camera on the G3. I don't have really anything bad to say abut the G3 except I wish battery life was better. But that's pretty normal I'd say for smartphones.

---------- Post added at 09:25 PM ---------- Previous post was at 09:21 PM ----------

Mine was like that when I first bought my G3 but over time it has gotten better. I can be a heavy user at times but for the most part I make it through out the day off one charge and having around 30% left. You should change how often apps sync up and change your location to battery save mode. That's what I did.

Seems to be a major delay. I haven't gotten any notifications for an update on my phone and I've been waiting since the 7th like everyone else. Yay T-Mobile!!!!

I did bricked my one G3 trying LG tool. Dont know what to do now. I guess i am rooting now.
[T-Mobile LG G3] joemossjr:
Honestly all i was worried about was there being a different software being rolled out then what we have but as it looks right now the lg mobile tool update is the update were going to fet on the support site it tells you how to use the lg tool and upgrade so it seems this a faster official way
[T-Mobile LG G3] jjdevega:
I believe so myself. It's been a couple hours since I used the LG Tool method and so far so good. I'm happy I did it. It was pretty simple to be honest. Everything is working just fine. If you can't wait just follow the steps 1 page back.
[T-Mobile LG G3] chrishup:
Upgraded Lollipop G3!

Sweet! Congrats and yw!!!
[T-Mobile LG G3] autoprime:
looking for the official OTA zip...

if unrooted... you can run a logcat before the download starts to grab the OTA URL.

if rooted... you can just grab the file from the cache folder (use something like ES File Explorer with full root privs to see files in /cache)
[T-Mobile LG G3] LexLuger82:
How do you run logcat?
[T-Mobile LG G3] edt2:
I saw the update.zip on phandroid.... I have it but can't post it here yet

you flashed this OTA zip? if so, how did you go about flashing it manually?

[T-Mobile LG G3] joemossjr:
im not really sure how to install this manually either
[T-Mobile LG G3] sushi829:
so if you do the update through the LG support tool on a white version (following n!ghtgolds instructions) does it mess up LTE and SD cards?
[T-Mobile LG G3] pdotc:
thanks followed these directions and it worked perfectly on my wife's G3.
[T-Mobile LG G3] VivaLaCam92:
not a single issue here..
[T-Mobile LG G3] SaMirakle:
They're probably delaying the update because the G4 is going to be officially announced on Apri 28th. Of course, it's going to come preloaded with Lollipop to try to get people to upgrade to the phone instead of waiting for the G3's Lollipop. Coincidental? HA! Just marketing scheme by T-Mobile. Just like how they got rid of service "contracts" but want you to hop on their phone upgrade Jump program which is basically a contract. SHABAM BINGA LAMB!
[T-Mobile LG G3] Swizzle82:
Blah blah blah. The G4 will be announced on the 28th but I promise it won't even be available to the US and Tmobile til at the earliest June.. This has nothing to do with the G3 getting lollipop or not.
[T-Mobile LG G3] sushi829:
I just updated my rooted white G3 using n!ghtgolds method and everything seems to be working just fine! I did lose the root but I easily re-rooted my phone
[T-Mobile LG G3] joemossjr:
Anyone have any idea how to install this 619 mb ota zip?
[T-Mobile LG G3] autoprime:
to manually install the 20B OTA zip you need stock recovery (not TWRP) and [unfortunately] have to be rooted.

root is lost afterwards and the new one-click-root method would be required to regain root access if desired.

**

I have updated my 20B THREAD HERE with directions on how to manually flash the official OTA update zip. First post.. under the "OTA Update" section.

**

for those that do not want to root at all.. you will need to use the manual KDZ method which has already been explained or wait for the OTA zip to be pushed to your phone... which is anytime between now and May 22nd I believe.

for those that have TWRP installed and wish to keep it... I already have TWRP-flashable 20B zips HERE.
[T-Mobile LG G3] bikrame:
Is there any lags while using twrp? I am done with TMo. I will root and install TWRP and flash zips.
[T-Mobile LG G3] joemossjr:
Im deffinitly interested in doing the manual method and willing to root again
[T-Mobile LG G3] ASUDave:
Has anyone gotten a better modem then the one originally included in 20B? I'm this close to going back to KK because I'm having all kinds of data issues (WiFi and LTE).
[T-Mobile LG G3] sykozylot:
How did you re-root?
[T-Mobile LG G3] Pu$$nBooT$:
theirs a newer modem? I flashed mine from original 20b kdz using manual method. never noticed any issues, VoLTE(HD Voice) works fine, no issues with wifi for me out in san diego....

should be any time now :/
[T-Mobile LG G3] VivaLaCam92:
they won't. the t-mobile support page has it listed for upcoming release as of 2 weeks ago.

matter of fact if i recall correctly i believe they were the first to update their page for it by simply stating be on the lookout or something of that nature.
[T-Mobile LG G3] dipdewdog:
where do you see that? this page just shows 10R as released on 2-Dec-14. https://support.t-mobile.com/docs/DOC-11935

if the update has issues tmobile wont release it until its fixed.

TMO just pushed out the S5 lollipop, hopefully g3 is next
[T-Mobile LG G3] truckerdewd:
Exactly. Tmobile gave me that link and told me to keep an eye on it via Twitter. I just wish they wouldn't make us wait so long.
[T-Mobile LG G3] truckerdewd:
And here was the reply I got from Tmobile on Google+ :

"Hey Larry! Thanks for checking in. We don't have details just yet, but please know we're constantly working on updates. You can always keep an eye out here: https://support.t-mobile.com/docs/DOC-11935 -Maria﻿"
[T-Mobile LG G3] dipdewdog:
I set up a VisualPing on that page to alert me of any changes that happen. It checks every hour...
[T-Mobile LG G3] fix-this!:
obviously there is a reason the tmob update isn't being pushed yet. maybe they are having issues with wifi calling? what im curious about is how many more updates this phone will receive from lg/google as the g4 is coming in a few months. seems lg prefer to just put out new phones rather than update the ones they already have.
[T-Mobile LG G3] Raztrax:
Xposed is available for Lollipop in Alpha form. By the time T-Mobile releases Lollipop it'll probably in beta or final release.

[T-Mobile LG G3] Elvis_Marmaduke:
Yeah, I've heard people say they're probably having issues with the WiFi calling, that would make some sort of sense, seeing as that's the main difference between Tmo and other carriers.

I was waiting to ROM this bad boy thinking that it would be a week or two before LP was out, and then the ROMs would incorporate the new radios and firmware, and I'd give LGs LP a chance... If I knew it was going to take this long, I don't think I would've held out... lol

Hopefully they'll announce SOMETHING soon... Reading this thread has been like reading a log/journal from a game you find on a dead body that ends with them either losing their mind or being killed by some (insert antagonist) or something like that lol

[T-Mobile LG G3] Wingman520:
I am currently using this method right now. I have the software downloading from the LG Mobile Support Tool. I have the White LG G3 which is 100% Stock entirely. I'll edit this post shortly when the update is complete to verify that the common problems I'm reading on here (SD Card, LTE) and all that are working. I can't verify if VOLTE is able to work since I'm not in Columbus, Ohio (I live near Akron, Ohio) as much as I'd love to.
[T-Mobile LG G3] jjdevega:
I used this method myself and so far everything is working as it should. I don't have the white G3 btw I have the Titanium color and works. I don't quite understand what the whole color of the phone difference is all about.
[T-Mobile LG G3] Wingman520:
I can safely say this method so far has worked entirely. No issues what so ever. LTE took a min to lock on, but it locked on and has held strong. SD Card fully works just fine. No errors or issues at all.
