[Moto G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cesar humberto:
Hi, please I would like to install a ROM in my moto g 4g xt1040. Once I tried to install slim kat and it worked good. I used twrp recovery with my device rooted to flash slimkat ROM... Then I notice that there was a ROM , cyanogen mod 12, and I tried to flash it as I did with slimkat. But I did something wrong :( because it booted normal, but the screen was flickering, and I had no signal. So I had to get back to stock ROM. I restore a stock rom i found here in moto g 4g section, then I installed twrp recovery again, but I could not root my phone anymore, there was a message ( root missing , do you wish to install root , or you will lose root. I tried to install cwm recovery , but it was the same. I think that the stock ROM I flashed to restore my phone is not okay. I can not flash any other ROM anymore.

Someone can help me please. Maybe I am doing something wrong. If someone need more information, just ask me.

Thanks a lot ( sorry for my english)( new a world of rooms)
[Moto G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lizard man:
Hey, did you try re locking the bootloader and then unlocking it? And when you went to cm 12, why didn't you go back to slim kat?
[Moto G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cesar humberto:
Hello, I did not re locked the bootloader and locked it again. I have read something about update the bootloader, but I dont know exactly what to do first.

I didnt go back to slimkat because I have no signal for 3g ... When I set the APN a put all the necesary values for it, but when I put save it dessappered. The ROM didnt save the APN . that is why I tried CM 12, but my screen was flickering and I had no signal. The ROM didnt recognize me the sim card.

I tried to restore to stock my phone, and I installed stock brazil ROM( I am from Perú ), but after that I could not root my phone anymore.

I tried these roms for my moto g after installing stock brazil ROM with no root access.

CM12

SLIM 5.1

RESURECTION REMIX

PARANOID ANDROID.

all of them didnt boot or the screen flickered. In some cases there was a screen of " encryptation was not complete, restore to fábric and reboot" ( I think that is the message) .

If you can help me to install a ROM for my phone , or a stock ROM but with root.

Thank you
[General Questions and Answers] ponicke:
Guys

Is there any way to know which frequency a phone is using (GSM850, PCS1900, etc)?

I know that *#0011# gives that. but this command only works in some Samsung phones.

Any clue?

[LG G Flex 2] kiscvik:
I Have H950 G Flex2, But i didnt get android 5.1.1 , i love this phone even it get hot somethimes, its good for me.

I want to know if maybe someone can help me to update to 5.1.1 because i dont have ota Update avalible and if is possible, try a stock or international room of 5.1.1 for the H950 Because att have a lot of bloatware.

Thanks all!
[LG G Flex 2] Cmcarboni:
Yes

The various threads around here are quite helpful. If you're rooted, you're going to have to go back to stock. The OTA update should then kick in.

There's a thread over in the Android Development Section (It's at the top) that is exactly what you're looking for.

So, yes there are certainly methods by which you can update to 5.1.1!
[LG G Flex 2] kiscvik:
Can you help me with the link please? im searching since i buy it. Thank you
[LG G Flex 2] Cmcarboni:
Of course I can help

This is a detailed tutorial on how to return your phone to stock. You'll end up with a data wipe, so make sure to back up anything you want to keep. You'll want to do this first. Nothing should go wrong (no guarantees though, as always), just make sure you pick up the H950 version of the system file (and put this in the root directory of your internal storage, and rename it to "system.img" if isn't already.)

Easy Restore/Recovery/Unbrick Tool for LG G Flex 2

You'll reboot to your bloated stock system, and you should be able to get the OTA update. If you come across the "Please wait 24 hours and try again" message, just go manually set your date and time ahead, that should get it working.

Then you'll want to use this link to update to flash a 5.1.1 (rooted) system file (similar to the way you did it before).

http://xdaforums.com/g-flex2/development/root-easy-root-att-flex-2-5-1-1-t3178354

After a great deal of tediousness, you can install Titanium Backup and remove all of the bloatware. Obviously, be cautious, you might break things (and then you'll need to factory reset, yet again). In the near future I'll post a thread of all the bloatware I removed without any issue.

EDIT: I've created a freezable bloatware list for those of you unsure what's safe and what's not. The thread is here:

Ti Backup Bloatware Freeze List

Once you're done with that, if you're brave enough, you can install the XPosed framework (even though the bootloader is locked) using this link:

XPosed G Flex 2

The process is a bit sketchy, the extended periods of black screen are a bit foreboding, but it worked like a charm.
[LG G Flex 2] akh1989:
I am also in the same boat. Not receiving OTA, tried factory reset and date+1 doesn't work :(
[LG G Flex 2] svela:
Has anyone outside the US or AT&T network been able to update? Perhaps it works with a VPN? I haven't been able to update my brand new phone with zero modifications.
[LG G Flex 2] cesgz:
Im outside US, and i haven't got the OTA, i been trying changing the date and factory reset every now and then...

I will try a VPN and see how it goes.
[LG G Flex 2] Cmcarboni:
Yes

When I returned to stock 5.0.1 I got the ATT OTA update. I'm in the US.

I don't claim to know the intricacies of flashing, but there are H950 5.1.1 system images floating around these boards. Could you flash one of those while on stock 5.0.1? I'm not sure. We do have an unbrick tool though so you'd probably be able to recover.

Let me know if anyone skips the part where they let the phone update itself, and go straight to flashing 5.1.1.
[LG G Flex 2] hack14u:
I just bought this phone brand new in the box because I heard the update was out on ATT, not for me I guess. :(
[LG G Flex 2] Tikerz:
If you're already on 5.1.1 and you try to recover with the 5.0.1 image you will brick your phone.

As far as receiving the update notification on the AT&T version, I had to change the date forward a few days. I would check for updates after each date change and eventually got the notification. If that doesn't work, do a factory reset and try again.
[LG G Flex 2] Cmcarboni:
Sounds like a direct flash upgrade is a no go then. I also set my device forward a few days (like a week) to get the update.
[LG G Flex 2] akpirani83:
I Just ordered this phone and will be using it on cricket wireless, does anyone know if I'll need an active at&t sim card to get the 5.1.1 update or will I be able to get the update with my cricket wireless sim card?
[LG G Flex 2] Cmcarboni:
Nope

Using a Straight Talk SIM myself and I got the OTA update just fine.
[LG G Flex 2] errcyco86:
THANK YOU! after 7 painful days this solved my issue! you are awesome I never would have thought to take off auto time and date and jump forward. In one day increments it wouldnt grab the OTA. First time i went to september and boom, I got it. !
[LG G Flex 2] Sj12345:
Did you already update?

if not wait!! and send me a mp
[LG G Flex 2] errcyco86:
Sorry I am new as of today.. I just bought the xda app. I don't know what an mp is. Please tell me what I did wrong tho now I am paranoid
[LG G Flex 2] Sj12345:
Nothing is wrong, (pm is private message), did you already update your phone?
[LG G Flex 2] errcyco86:
Yes, went from 5.0.1 to 5.1.1

I used the method above of changing the date a month forward.. It went from saying up to date to giving me the ota

I hope the update isn't crop because I don't know much of rooting and roming. Hoping to learn stuff here as xda is full of some smart folks.
[LG G Flex 2] Tikerz:
No, you're fine. I think he just wanted the OTA file.
[LG G Flex 2] kiscvik:
??

So how? Just change the date and what? i didnt understand, im outside US
[LG G Flex 2] errcyco86:
Yeah, so go into settings - - > time & date.

The unchecked the box for auto time and date and move the day forward a few weeks. This worked for my at&t phone. If you have an international variant I don't see why it wouldn't work to. I had tried everything else to catch the ota from factory resets, to good old fashioned patience.

And a side note. The battery life on 5.1.1 is much better for me than 5.0.1 I never noticed any lagging on the phone before or after the update but I definitely don't have a battery drain anymore which is awesome keeping the phone on a charger all day was starting to drive me nuts.
[LG G Flex 2] kiscvik:
SO

I have h950 att and im outside, so i need change just the day and the time zone? or what?
[LG G Flex 2] errcyco86:
As far as I know your device needs to have an att sim (or a prepaid Sim that borrows att towers) to get their ota updates.

There's probably someone in here a bit better than me to ask but I think people have caught the updates and made them flash able for people like you who don't have access to at&t towers here in the USA.
[LG G Flex 2] kiscvik:
Ohh Thats why thank you
[LG G Flex 2] errcyco86:
Seriously though, check here in different threads I know people have made tutorials to help people around the world get the updates through flashing. It's well worth it on this device. I was going down 10% every 20 minutes of screen on time before the update. Now it's far less battery drain then that. Actually reminds me of the battery life on my Note 4
[LG G Flex 2] kiscvik:
Maybe you now where

Im searching this arround 2 weeks and nothing too clear, can you help me? im trying to avoid brick my phone. Thank you
[LG G Flex 2] Tikerz:
Change the date and then check for updates. Do it again and again until it pops up.
[LG G Flex 2] svela:
I can confirm this does NOT work if you are outside the US.
[LG G Flex 2] shanedragon:
Hmmm. So I picked one of these up on the $249 ebay sale and I plan on using it in Canada. I know the phone and the hardware will work just fine on my carrier (Telus) but from reading around XDA here it looks like i may be SOL on getting the OTA updates for it. What to do?! I am really looking forward to this phone but I might just have to put it back up for sale if I can't get any updates for it.

Say I got my hands on a ATT pay as you go SIM card and put it in. Even though I'm in Canada would the use of the US ATT card for the express purposes of grabbing the updates work? Obviously that's a total pain in the ass but also a good workaround short of going to the US just to update my phone.
[LG G Flex 2] hack14u:
I tried and tried the date thing until I was 53 days ahead, lol. I finally just did the chat thing on the ATT site, and they pushed the update to me.
[LG G Flex 2] akpirani83:
You seem to be the only person I've come across in all the forums who's gotten the update without an ATT sim. Could you please explain in details how were you able to do it? I should be receiving my phone in a couple of days and I'm on cricket wireless and I want this update. Thanks
[LG G Flex 2] Cmcarboni:
Returned to 5.0.1 stock. Did a factory reset, and pushed the date forward until the software update dialogue offered me the OTA update.
[LG G Flex 2] radii:
r u in the us? r u using att sim?
[LG G Flex 2] jasleen_ss:
Can someone with att sim please capture the OTA file and publish it here so that community can try to find out a way to help with the update.

---------- Post added at 01:53 AM ---------- Previous post was at 01:46 AM ----------

With that sale on ebay we are definitely getting an increase in the number of owners of h950 and with that the participation on the forums. :)

---------- Post added at 02:05 AM ---------- Previous post was at 01:53 AM ----------

hey man, can you tell me what exactly did you say to those guys to push the update to you. Also, are you suing ATT sim or some other network?
[LG G Flex 2] Cmcarboni:
No, I'm using a Straight Talk SIM, but I am in the US.
[LG G Flex 2] akpirani83:
Straight talk with at&t or tmobile?

---------- Post added at 05:24 PM ---------- Previous post was at 05:22 PM ----------

straight talk on at&t or tmobile network?
[LG G Flex 2] vel0city:
The only explanation that he was able to get the update via with Straight Talk is because they must be piggy backing from AT&T towers. I heard Straight Talk uses Verizon or AT&T. So that would probably explain how he got the update via Straight Talk.
[LG G Flex 2] milanmania2004:
If I in overseas but using att sim, will I receive the ota ?
[LG G Flex 2] anywho:
I'm also on cricket. I've done everything possible to get the update since it first came out, but it is not available. Change date up to 2 months ahead, factory reset multiple times. I was rooted, so I had to go back to stock using the tool from Sj12345. At this point, I think the update is being released in stages, but I still don't get why it would take this long. I've used sprint, at&t, and tmobile mvno's in the past, and I've always gotten the OTA's when they were released.

---------- Post added at 01:38 AM ---------- Previous post was at 01:24 AM ----------

Now that I think about it, I'm guessing there's some kind of unique device ID on each image/update, and using one person's image/update, won't work for other users trying to upgrade using the same image/update. This only applies to people who used the tool from Sj2345 to go back to stock/unroot (no offense, just a theory).
[LG G Flex 2] Sj12345:
There are people who used my tool and received the update :) btw the original stock system wasn't mine(Thanks to [MENTION=1258910]soosoolhastam[/MENTION]), he helped me with that and I used it also I received the update the next day
[LG G Flex 2] shanedragon:
Yeah, I highly doubt the unique ID idea for the OTA acceptance. In the end, those of us outside the US will probably have to force to dlpkgfile.

Since no one has chimed in on doing it successfully yet we are all a little apprehensive.

With a good amount of units going out on the eBay $249 fire sale, we'll see an even bigger drive to find a painless way to update our brand new phones.

I know I want that!
[LG G Flex 2] Sj12345:
haha I have the OTA (dlpkgfile 750mb) and sent it to some people here , but the question is who want to try... updating with root maybe work! or fail or brick

nobody tries this method for fear to brick
[LG G Flex 2] shanedragon:
Someone will get frustrated enough to try it and let us know if it works.

Hopefully they record a video so we can hear them start swearing at the phone if it fails.
[LG G Flex 2] nick11213:
I also have the H950 unlocked AT&T model. I purchased it over a month ago through what seems to be an infamous Ebay seller now on this thread - qualitycellz.

I emailed them to inquire about the update process because they guaranteed the ability to update to Android 5.1.1 (without any notes or stipulations that we had to use this phone on the AT&T network to receive the update). Check out their rather brief response below:

Dear nicholas11213,

Hello

Thanks for your email. The phone will only receive OTA if you are with AT&T.

----- Original Message -----

Greetings,

I purchased this smartphone from your storefront a little over a month ago and as of August 12th, 2015 AT&T has released the Android Lollipop 5.1.1 update OTA (Over The Air) to this device model.

I am currently using this unlocked phone on the T-Mobile network and I would like to ask whether or not it's necessary to use an AT&T sim card in order to receive the OTA update from the AT&T servers.

Please let me know as this is an important question for not only myself but the multitude of customers who have purchased this particular unit unlocked through your storefront with the understanding that this unit would be upgradeable to Android 5.1.1 as per the item description.

Looking forward to your reply.

Best regards,

Nicholas​

I'd take the seller's response with a grain of salt but this could potentially be further confirmation that we need to find an alternate route for receiving the OTA update. If this update has the ability to even marginally improve the battery life and thermal management of this handset count me in for the battle so to speak.:good:
[LG G Flex 2] Cmcarboni:
I don't know what y'all are doing wrong, but I purchased my phone from qualitycellz as well, rooted 5.0.1, returned to stock, did a factory reset, and adjusted the date until it gave me the OTA update, all using a ST SIM.

If you're itching for 5.1.1, maybe repeat the entire process? I can't really give any better explanation, because I never experienced any of these issues.
[LG G Flex 2] Master_FOB:
I can confirm Cmcarboni's experience, as I'm also on Straight Talk AT&T SIM, and got the update on my H950. I was rooted when the update came out and I received the notification. I was out of town and couldn't flash back to stock, so I ignored it. The next day, I got the "you're rooted warning." When I got back home a couple of days later, I flashed back to stock. I then factory reset it and kept bumping the date (about 10 days) until I received the update again.

I don't understand why a lot of folks on Cricket are not able to get the update, since Cricket uses AT&T network.
[LG G Flex 2] akh1989:
and Cricket is At&T owned :(
[LG G Flex 2] thebest:
I'm going to try H2O wireless tomorrow, and AT&T's gophone SIM if that doesn't work.

Will let you all know how it goes.
[LG G Flex 2] robstunner:
How far did you guys push the date up before you got it? I'm 5 days forward and nothing.
[LG G Flex 2] buddywiser:
5 months and still didn't get it. Using gophone sim.
[LG G Flex 2] thebest:
I went to the store today, and they let me use a normal AT&T SIM, and it wouldn't give me an update.

I tried resetting setting the phone, skipping ahead a few weeks a few times and nothing worked.

We came to the conclusion that it probably isn't giving it to me because the phone is unlocked.

I would probably have to call in with the SIM's phone number and get AT&T to push the update to me.
[LG G Flex 2] Cmcarboni:
My phone is unlocked and I still got the OTA, as mentioned before.
[LG G Flex 2] jasleen_ss:
I did an extensive research over the weekend and you will be able to get the update on your phone as far as ATT people can regognize the sim inserted in the phone on their database. So ideally postpaid or go phone everybody should be able to get an update being on att. if you don't get an update call att customer care and they can manually push the update to your phone.

Regarding the big question on why cricket being on att network is not getting an update, the answer is Cricket uses ATT spectrum but still maintains all the services themselves so ATT does not recognize them as their customers. So you would have a better luck trying with an MVNO like h2o or red pocket.(I still have to try one). ATT manages the services for MVNO customers and have everyone in their databases.

Please let know if somebody has a MVNO connection and give it a try. Try calling att customer care if you don't get the update by just tapping update now.
[LG G Flex 2] strictlyphat:
I've done this 5 times. I even activated an AT&T go phone SIM. No bueno. Normally I'm on cricket. Idk
[LG G Flex 2] Sampson0420:
this if ****ing ridiculous..... all these problems just to get an update. goodgle needs to fix the way updates are handled.
[LG G Flex 2] strictlyphat:
Don't think it's Google. More like AT&T
[LG G Flex 2] Sampson0420:
Well it's google, manufacturer, and carriers... it's just too many pieces that need to line up before a update is pushed. Apple tells carriers, FU, I put out updates the way I please and when I please. LG, Samsung, etc can follow suit. They're too worried about their precious kickbacks on bs bloatware.
[LG G Flex 2] QwaarJet:
Moving the dates didn't work for me. Chatting with an ATT rep and having them push out the update did though.
[LG G Flex 2] shanedragon:
At least that's an option for some! I hope we can find a way to get the updates outside the US, too.
[LG G Flex 2] jgolf:
Were you chatting as in chat room chatting or were you talking to a rep on the telephone? It'd be great if this could be pushed by chat. Which Go Phone plan are you on? Did you have the $2 a day and 100MB route?
[LG G Flex 2] timumi:
I was just on ATT customer service chat to try to get the OTA push and the agent told me that LG pulled the "second" release of 8/12/2015 update due to "bugs"... sigh...
[LG G Flex 2] jgolf:
Rep could be misinformed.
[LG G Flex 2] strictlyphat:
Just a quick update guys...

I've tried the following to no avail

Background. I use cricket. But activated a real ATT SIM on A GO PHONE plan for testing the following. Neither SIM made a difference. Except when i called AT&T tech support he made sure I had an ATT SIM before looking I to the update.

MOVING data ahead in 1 day increment did not work on either SIM. Multiple factory resets between there.

Called AT&T he found my phone/imei. It could not ping for update. Fail there too!

He had me install lg software on my PC which did not find an update and just said 5.0.1 is the latest.

I'm stuck. Sucks but I still like the phone. Battery life will be the deciding on if I keep it.

Tech support did mention that they push it and I may have to wait for it to be pushed. Idk. Will keep swapping Sims here and there to see if it makes a difference.
[LG G Flex 2] Raay:
I had almost the exact same expiriance as you and the AT&T guy told me that i have to wait until it gets to my phone/state . we really need a manual method .
