I'm in the process of upgrading from VS98512B !! NOT SURE WHAT I'M DOWNLOADING VIA LG MOBILE SUPPORT TOOL

What I did was manually changed the date on the phone a month a head. I plugged the phone to my computer and clicked on update driver in the tool.

Now I am in the process of downloading a 1625.93 mByte file. Ill report back and let you guys know what this is.

Dont get mad if I got excited for nothing.

If only it was as simple as setting the phone's clock into the future to pull future updates. :)

I'm not convinced this is in the wild yet. The comments around this mystery build seem shady at best. A screen shot of the version is easy to PS. How about some screen shots of what's changed if this is real?

Once again, never take an OTA. :p

[Verizon LG G3] autoprime:
unless u don't want root.. you'll have to wait for KDZ to be updated so system/boot/modem can be extracted and flashed manually thru TWRP.

taking the official ota will lead to a working but "root-less" Lollipop. and the guy on G+ isn't going to be able to dump his phone due to not having root.
[Verizon LG G3] cjchevez:
I got the idea from the att forum, seemed to work for them when they were getting the updates in batches. Worth a try , and I don't like the barebones LP roms going around. Their camaras suck,you have to get inferior apps to the LG & Verizon themed apps like quick notes,quick remote,DBL tap on off and so on.
[Verizon LG G3] shiftr182:
Nice of you to stop by :)
[Verizon LG G3] maddog241:
The OP said he received a replacement device and when he "fired it up" the download began. Is it possible that the replacement device was at one time assigned to a tester and its IMEI was on a test list? Could the build he received be what is currently in QA testing and not actually official yet? Is that why no one else can find it or pull it yet?
[Verizon LG G3] roirraW "edor" ehT:
Anything's possible. It's possible it's just a very small release to see how things go. There's really no use speculating.

There are two possibilities. It's real or it's not. No matter which it is we'll eventually find out and we'll eventually get it.
[Verizon LG G3] skiman10:
You can dump the /system without root. That's what I had him do for me.
[Verizon LG G3] 92slammer:
So you have the system dump?
[Verizon LG G3] skiman10:
I'm waiting for the upload to finish. Then I gotta download it all tomorrow and figure out what I'm gonna do with it. Hopefully I can patch together a functional rom like what I "helped" do with the n6 dump on the Lollipop preview ports. We'll see what happens!

Frankly I think it's a little insulting we waited all this time and only get 5.01.

I'll stay with AICP for LP, and skydragon for now, give stock(ish) a shot when someone makes a debloated ROM.

[Verizon LG G3] roirraW "edor" ehT:
I resemble that remark. ;)
[Verizon LG G3] roirraW "edor" ehT:
I choose to be cautiously optimistic. First, I agree with you. But then I think...I'd rather they fully modify and test 5.01 than "rush" *cough* and goof up more with 5.02. Android 5.1 will be official very shortly and we'll more than likely get an incremental OTA to 5.1 or whatever within a...well...some time. ;)

After all, OEMs do squash some bugs or annoyances with updates that haven't been implemented in the same AOSP version yet. They're not only good for bloat, just mostly.
[Verizon LG G3] TCPDump:
1+ Post whoring is not cool. I wonder sometimes if Mods even come here anymore. I remember when mods used to actually care, and clean up duplicate trash, merge posts, etc.

---------- Post added at 02:52 PM ---------- Previous post was at 02:51 PM ----------

5.0.1 to 5.0.2 was almost all enhancements for the Nexus 9 tablets. Not sure why they would waste time and scrap a project then start over to give you tablet enhancements on a phone...
[Verizon LG G3] iBolski:
5.0.2 was also for the Nexus 7 tablet. I believe it was the first device to get 5.0.2. What we really want is 5.1 when it's ready to fix the boot animation memory leak bug.
[Verizon LG G3] TCPDump:
Wasn't that only on CM, or am I remembering that incorrectly? Maybe CM fixed it by setting static bounds?
[Verizon LG G3] iBolski:
No, the memory leak is an issue across all of LP. That's why 5.1 is supposed to address it. It's not just in CM. I see it on my Nexus 7 table. After rebooting, it runs fine. After awhile, it starts to get sluggish to the point it eventually will freeze, and then unfreeze periodically until I reboot it.

CM might have FIXED the issue first since the CM code is there for all to have. But, the official google source has not been fixed until v5.1.
[Verizon LG G3] kinfolk248:
Wonder why Google doesnt seed android source to devs in the manner in which Apple seeds IOS to devs...?
[Verizon LG G3] xgman:
So has anyone . . anyone at all, other that the OP, received an over the air Lolipop update from Verizon? Haven't heard of one single case yet.
[Verizon LG G3] kinfolk248:
Nope smh
[Verizon LG G3] ToF_Itachi:
It does seem like very select few got the update but at the same time it seems people are able to get it if we have made forums about reverting back from the LP update. My only question is this. Where's my update at though? :p :cool:
[Verizon LG G3] RED ZMAN:
I've heard of at least 2 in this thread, so yes.
[Verizon LG G3] maddog241:
Who is the second one? The only one reporting a spontaneous OTA update that I have seen is the OP. He had the screen shots.

I'm sticking to my theory from post #52. I don't believe this is going to be an official release. There is too much evidence to the contrary.
[Verizon LG G3] RED ZMAN:
I know you are new here my man, try out the search tool some.

I did a search for "Second" nothing came up, then "another" and found it.

Tada.
[Verizon LG G3] iBolski:
I guess I'm still trying to figure out how he got the update pushed to him. It was a replacement phone that he received and it started downloading the update. So, either the replacement phone for some reason got flagged to be allowed to download what is probably considered a "soak" test build (hence, that's why no one else is seeing it), or else, Verizon/LG made a huge snafu here. Or, the guys is lying that it started downloading as an OTA and he really pulled it off of a server somewhere. I don't know the guy, so I can't say one way or another and I'm going to assume he's telling the truth until told otherwise.

As it is, this will NOT be going on my phone until there is a way to root it, either after it's installed, or a way to carry it over. Currently, neither option is available/possible with what has been posted. I need root because I use TiBu to backup my apps. So much easier to restore them. As it is, Google backup will restore the apps, but not the data, at least for me it's been that way. Plus, I have to be connected to the internet in order for that to work, which means I stay where there is wifi so I don't eat up my data plan. Hence, TiBu allows me to restore without the need of a network connection. Lived with TiBu for too many years to just give it up.

I know there are other options, but unless you are rooted, it won't work well. I tried those that use a combination of your phone and a PC, but even then, it will only work with apps that are built to work with that piece of software. I had too many that didn't work. TiBu is the ONLY solution that works, but you have to be rooted.

As it is, the 12b version on this phone works great. I was using greenify and such before, but after taking them off, I've found I get just about as good battery life as I did with Greenify. Maybe not as good, but the phone can last over a day for me before I need to recharge. That is, unless I'm constantly playing Game of War. Then, all bets are off!
[Verizon LG G3] maddog241:
I have read every post in each of the threads relating to this "OTA update". I have also read many other sites including the one you linked who have reported this as rolling out without any proof of that. Only one person has shown evidence. The rest is unsupported speculation.

If you look at my join date here, I'm only a couple moths shy of you. Just because I don't post as much, doesn't really mean I don't understand the works. I'm sticking to my theory, that OTA is not happening at this time currently because there is no evidence that is has been released to more than the OP.
[Verizon LG G3] RED ZMAN:
Join dates and theories aside (my original account is from 2005), I was just trying to help someone with 31 posts to learn how to search for their information. You may not like what is there, but it is there.
[Verizon LG G3] maddog241:
Setting aside assumptions about me, I appreciate it if you were trying to help. All I'm saying is, there is only proof of one download. No one else has provided evidence. Anyone can say it, but it doesn't exist in the real world without proof. If there are more, let's see the proof.
[Verizon LG G3] xgman:
I agree with the camp that thinks there is no OTA "release", period. At least not as of right now. That said it isn't a stretch to think that it will start spreading any minute now since, well, it's time to let it out..... We're only a couple of months away from a G4 at this point.

Security software version it's probably something similar to Samsung Knox. That would be my guess anyway. That entry appears on my wife's Note 4.

[Verizon LG G3] bacon4bfast:
Oh, I thought everyone but me had the update. That explains all the times I've pressed check for update with no success. Don't have root so I can't get the update from the other thread. I'm happy with stock at the moment so I'll wait for the OTA. Maybe they are upgrading to 5.1 instead of 5.0.1. Patience is something I have but I'm still chomping at the bit. CM12 on my Nexus 7 has me satisfied for now.
[Verizon LG G3] gregcapps:
Actually you can update without root. Check the other thread did directions. All it requires is a play store app and you making a folder on your internal or external sd. I used that method and am now running 5.0.1 official
[Verizon LG G3] lakingslayer:
My wife got an update request today. She's holding off taking it for now. We want to see actual ota results to see how solid this release is.
[Verizon LG G3] kinfolk248:
Define 'update request'...
[Verizon LG G3] annoyingduck:
She got an update request while on 12b?? Clarify please. If so have her download and run this app asap https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.peamoon.phoneproductioninfo and tell us if the kdz listed at the bottom is for 23a or 12b.
[Verizon LG G3] lakingslayer:
She is on the latest 12b OTA. She will not let me touch her phone. She's paranoid after seeing me root and screw with my many devices. I'll try though.
[Verizon LG G3] annoyingduck:
That app is so easy and safe. It'll just give you a link to the current official lg firmware from their server. No witchcraft, root, or anything other than providing info. She's the first we heard of aside from the other guy that has an actual ota notification. All I need is the link that app provides on her phone. Then Uninstall the app.... If she has a 23a kdz link, please try to get it for us.

Or just grab the box from her phone, go here: http://lg-firmware-rom.com/ and enter her IMEI. It's the same thing as the app. Gotta know if her kdz link is something different than 12b

[Verizon LG G3] roirraW "edor" ehT:
Couldn't say; no idea. I wondered what you meant, I had decided I assumed you meant it still offered 12B. You've tried manually checking for an update on her phone through Settings under System Updates? But if it's a big deal for her it's best to keep the wifey happy. :)

Eventually, as it's been noted, we will all eventually (who want to) get the Lollipop update and the KDZ and all that. Hopefully root, too.

Thanks for checking.
[Verizon LG G3] mopartonyg:
No not a big deal, I am not the one with the wifey. Just thought it was strange nothing came up on either site.

I just got off the phone with a Verizon Technical Support Rep about some call quality issues, and he said they were aware of the issue and is being addressed in the next software update scheduled for Mid-April release. I tried to get a bit more info on this update since he seemed willing to share info. I asked if it was Lollipop, and he said yes, then I asked which version, 5.0 or 5.1. He did some clicking around in his system, but when he got to the update it didn't list which version, or he wasn't able to tell me. But, at least knowing the official OTA is 3 weeks away! In hind sight, I should have asked if it was going to be 23B or something else but didn't think about it until after the call. I assume something else like 23C or 23D at this point.

If I root to apply the ipv6 fix can I ever get back to official system status? or is it like tripping knox on the new Samsung phones and will always say custom.
[Verizon LG G3] Yagyik:
No you won't get official system status after rooting.
[Verizon LG G3] roirraW "edor" ehT:
Yes to the first question, no to the second. I had an S3 before this phone, there's nothing like KNOX on the G3. You can also turn off IP v6 on your home router so you don't have to root although if course that only fixes it at home.

I haven't had the problem and haven't applied any fix, but I am rooted for other reasons.

He's asking if you can get back to official status. Just flash a KDZ or TOT of any official release, including OTAing from 12B to 23A or 23B.

Is the only way to root through adb or am I missing something? I'm used to dealing with Samsung phones, sorry.
[Verizon LG G3] roirraW "edor" ehT:
If you KDZ or TOT (similar to Odin) 10B, then you can use Stump root v1.2 apk to root, then use Flashify in Play Store to flash the latest TWRP, then you can flash any ROM you want or use [MENTION=2684188]autoprime[/MENTION] 's Flash2 zip method to flash the stock 12B or 23B boot.img, modem.img and system.img [MENTION=4132606]bweN diorD[/MENTION] has a thread with them. Then flash the latest SuperSU.zip.

That is how I got on 23B rooted.

For adb, did you:

1. Install the latest v2.20 Verizon G3 drivers from LG's website?

2. Put the phone in USB Debugging mode, hook up the phone, put the phone USB in Camera PTP mode, watch in Device Manager in Windows until all drivers are loaded? Can take 5-10 minutes.

3. Reboot PC.

4. Then select to permanently authorize adb on your phone when you attempt connection, then grant it SuperUser permissions when you "su" in adb shell?

Where's the 10b kdz?
[Verizon LG G3] roirraW "edor" ehT:
I edited the post you replied to with more info. For the 10B KDZ, there's a return to stock thread I think in the General or one of the development threads.

Note: the 10B KDZ is technically 10B_01 which was a leak so OTAs don't work with it. Not a problem for rooting and flashing purposes.

The 10B TOT is 10B_03 which was the actual release and can take OTAs.

Everyone's experience is different on this subject but I find flashing the KDZ easier. Actually haven't successfully TOTed yet although I was given ideas to try next time I want to try.

I haven't had the time to test, but this root method is working for all software versions (10b,11c,23a/b) http://xdaforums.com/lg-g3/general/guide-root-lg-firmwares-kitkat-lollipop-t3056951. So in theory kdzing direct to 12b and rooting is now possible. Then just flash twrp via flashify. Now on LP its a bit different to get recovery. If you manually update to the 23b ota from 12b you'll need to flash the 10b or 12b aboot first in order to eliminate the security error when flashing recovery on LP. Because the ota isn't official yet, and we don't have a direct kdz, I won't explain further, because you already know what I'm talking about if you did the manual method. Just throwing it out there, that our current methods are going to get a bit more involved soon, but still manageable. Only when the official is released will we know how many issues LP is going to have on the KK aboot. As of know there are the known issues that do not seem to be created from the KK aboot, and hopefully that stays the same.

My laptop is only set up for .TOT file flashing. I have never flashed a .kdz yet. If I remember right, the two methods are incompatible on the same laptop - some driver issues.

Anyway, what happens if I let the Software Upgrade Assistant go ahead and upgrade my hacked vs985 ?

I am guessing it would result in a soft-brick.

I am not that excited about installing this known-buggy 23c Lollipop 5.0.1 update anyway, so no rush here.

I suspect Verizon only released it to pressure G3 owners into upgrading to the G4 that is coming soon, anyway. ?

You will be ok but lose root.

It shows 3/27/2015 as the last update, but still lists 12b as the latest update released. Hmm...

Wish someone, either LG or Big Red, would get their act together. Still, it seems even with the latest "unofficial" release, there are still WiFi issues, etc.

Won't be racing to install this until I know better what baggage comes with the official release.
