[Google Pixel 2 XL Questions & Answers] skip24ftlb:
Can anyone advise.

I'm looking to cast from my phone to a portable projector whilst camping. I won't have access to WiFi.

How can I mirror to a projector. Will I require a chromecast ?

I understand Miracast is blocked by Google and the pixel 2 doesn't support mhl

Any info would be greatly appreciated.

At present I'm looking at either a benq gs1, lg minibeam 550 or a viewsonic M1 to cast to.

Cheers paul
[Google Pixel 2 XL Questions & Answers] xunholyx:
You need wifi for a Chromecast, and both the device you're casting with and the Chromecast need to be connected to the same wifi. You could try using the pixel 2XL as a mobile hotspot, and use a third device to cast from. The third device won't need a SIM, so if you have any old devices laying around, this would be a chance to make one useful again.

Hey Guys,

So I picked up the AT&T variant of the v35. I have been spending the last hour online trying to hunt down the latest firmware for this thing (looks like March) to manually get my device up to date. I have not been able to find anything. So I am trying to explore other options. I have T-Mobile. I tried popping my sim card in and checking for updates both with LTE on/off and wifi on/off. That didnt work. I then grabbed my wifes Cricket (AT&T) Sim card. Repeated the same process and still nothing. I also downloaded LG Bridge and tried to run an update. LG Bridge just error'd on with a trying to connect error. However, my phone was recognized in the lower status bar. The last thing I can think of is to maybe try and grab a Straight Talk 35 dollar sim card and try to update that way. With the hope that that proper AT&T registration network acknowledgements and handshaking happens so that my device can finally receive the OTA's over the network as it should.
[LG V35 Questions & Answers] ChazzMatt:
You need to be AT&T customer to receive AT&T OTA updates on AT&T branded devices.

Not true. I have an unlocked V35 AT&T version using a Red Pocket SIM and receive updates just fine.

I still stand behind what I said. I've seen it too many times. The guy I replied to could not get an update even with Cricket SIM, and Cricket is OWNED by AT&T.

LG Software

Go to the LG website and find your model of phone. Click on the Support Tab to the right. Then click on View Product Support. Scroll down to Software and Firmware, then to Help Library. Click on Software Update to see all of the updates that have been made and what they were for. You will need to use LG Bridge on your PC to update your phone if you did not receive it via OTA.
[LG V35 Questions & Answers] ChazzMatt:
No, that's generic instructions for every carrier EXCEPT AT&T. You'll never get AT&T LG firmware that way. They only do FOTA.

AT&T doesn't allow KDZ via LG Bridge. If they did, there would be public AT&T KDZ available, as I've snagged other LG KDZ that way and even

provided the LG Bridge Server DOWNLOAD URL links

for people to download themselves, if they don't want to use my KDZ...

Sprint also doesn't allow LG Bridge downloads or public KDZ release for the same reason. Sprint doesn't sell the V35, but they sell other LG flagship phones.

I just got a red pocket sim. Any suggestions? Been trying all day and I can't get it to push me out and update.
[LG V35 Questions & Answers] Optimusman:
Hello new to the v35 forums but I receive updates just fine. I'm using an unlocked at&t version of the phone running on straight talk, although straight talk uses AT&T towers which probably doesn't hurt lol
[LG V35 Questions & Answers] ericmartin152:
Make sure you have the APN setup exactly like Red Pockets instructions. Restart the phone after you do that, then make sure you have the 4G LTE indicator on the status bar.
[LG V35 Questions & Answers] cas8180:
Did all of that still no update. Jumped on WiFi check again still no update. I also set my date forward day after day for about 10 days trying to force the phone to contact the appropriate servers to get the update. Still nothing. And yes I have 4g LTE and full service.

Any other ideas?

I tried this as well and no you can not. The site redirected you to lg bridge. The windows software recognizes my phone. however whenever I do an update check it always errors out and says please try again.

Right. You can not. AT&T only does FOTA. You will never get AT&T LG firmware via LG Bridge nor from any official LG website.

AT&T does not release KDZ nor allow it to be released by LG.
[LG V35 Questions & Answers] cas8180:
Ok this is for the nay Sayers and people in doubt. So it turns out I actually have an at&t store in the plaza that I work in. My plaza is huge and the store is somewhat hidden so I simply didn't see it. Anyways I was getting ready to take my phone into the store to see if they could update it. But for the hell of it, I connected it to my work wifi and still using the red pocket sim, bumped the date time up by 5 days and did software update check. Boom! Updates started coming down. So what this tells me is that there could be something about geo location or even what cell tower your phone is connected too that it's checking for updates against. Lesson learned here I did not have a at&t account. I indirectly had an at&t through mvno reseller redpocket and was in fact able to get an OTA update from att.
[LG V35 Questions & Answers] ChazzMatt:
It's still FOTA while using an AT&T connected network SIM. Somehow AT&T MVNO Redpocket gets updates while AT&T-owned Cricket apparently does not?

You won't get it with a T-Mobile SIM. Your won't get it on LG website, no matter what SIM. You won't get it on LG BRIDGE, no matter what SIM. You won't get KDZ ever.

Apparently you didn't read the thread. Quite a few people stated that ota updates were only possible through a main att account/service plan. I am simply confirming you can go with a mvno like cricket or redpocket and also get att ota updates.
[LG V35 Questions & Answers] ChazzMatt:
Let the Cricket people speak for themselves. They have said they cannot. Let's hear from one who can before you claim that.

I have read the thread and corrected misinformation and lies about being able to use LG website and LG Bridge for AT&T updates.

So far I've only heard from AT&T customers and Red Pocket. Maybe AT&T has a special deal with that MVNO. I know they have a special deal to allow them to use AT&T data servers, which is very unusual. Maybe this is a carryover.

Most MVNOs like Straight Talk use their own data servers for customers.

[LG V35 Questions & Answers] ChazzMatt:
There I go, what?

Still, no LG BRIDGE or LG website for LG AT&T phones. Next time someone posts that I'm reporting them.

Still, Samsung Galaxy whatever is not LG. On AT&T LG V30 only AT&T customers were reportedly getting updates.

I would still like to see Cricket customer report LG V35 update, if you can understand. This is about LG, not relevant whatsoever your wife's Samsung Galaxy phone gets updates on Cricket. Don't understand why you even mentioned that.

I'm helping others when so people do not put out blatant misinformation.

Like LG website and LG Bridge for AT&T firmware. That will never happen. And the next person who posts that AGAIN will be reported.

And so far Cricket users for both ATT LG V30 and LG V35 say they do NOT get updates. You have yet to prove otherwise. That's not trolling. I quoted a Cricket LG V35 user -- you by the way, it seems -- from earlier in the thread.

So far, we have one MVNO exception (Red Pocket), and due to my knowledge of the cell phone industry, I can explain it. One MVNO is not all MVNOs.

Cricket IS owned by AT&T but people (like you) say they do not get LG updates for ATT branded LG flagships on Cricket, nor almost all other MVNOs.

[LG V35 Questions & Answers] kgbeezr1:
Thanks. I'm just starting the process of figuring out the flashing procedure, it's been years since I flashed an Android phone. I didn't realize AT&T only provided updates for active subscribers, kind of adds a new dimension to buying an unlocked device and using it with a different carrier. There are vague instructions on Reddit for flashing a non-carrier branded ROM to the V35 with links back to XDA (the G7 forum), but not sure I trust them. Will keep looking. Thanks for posting back..
[LG V35 Questions & Answers] hotskull23:
the modded lg up with dll for v35 works for flashing ulm firmware but you wont be able to go back to the att firmware because of no att kdz, i was trying to flash the amw firmware but it keeps on failing
[LG V35 Questions & Answers] kgbeezr1:
I definitely have some more homework to do before I try anything. The last time I flashed a phone i'm pretty sure it was a Galaxy, can't even remember. I have no need to go back to an ATT firmware so I think i'm good there, I just want to get it to a stock non-ATT ROM where I can get future updates (especially the one that's supposed to be coming for 9.0).

I'm downloading the KDZ file (V350ULM10i_00_NAO_US_OP_0221.kdz), and I guess i'm following the guide to flash the G7 which is where everything on Reddit seems to be pointing. The G7 tutorial mentioned re-locking the bootloader,

the person here is saying they didn't have to unlock it in the first place - https://www.reddit.com/r/LgV35/comments/9s2nz8/i_dont_get_updates/ (i'm not sure what the rules are for posting links, apologies to mods in advance if it's not permitted). It's those bits of confusion that make me hesitant.

I was going to try buying a Red Pocket plan as someone in this thread mentioned it would allow updates with the existing ROM, but at this point I think i'm reaching my limit of how much work and money I want to put into it. Had I known, I wouldn't have bought an ATT phone. I figured SIM unlocked was all I really needed to worry about. Lesson learned.

OP have you tried searching for an update with NO SIM card in the phone? My gf's V20 couldn't get any OTA updates because she uses Straight Talk (Verizon towers) and the update started working after taking out the SIM card.
[LG V35 Questions & Answers] kgbeezr1:
For what it's worth, I put a friend's ATT compatible Tracfone SIM in my device and it's now accessing updates (on Wifi). I did enter the Tracfone APN and let it connect to the data network briefly before switching to Wifi and trying the manual update. I thought for sure it was going to be a no-go, but i'm glad I tried. My phone is the LM-V350AWM model, SIM unlocked.
[LG V35 Questions & Answers] eksasol:
A question, if I was to leave an AT&T simcard on the phone, does the phone automatically detect new updates and download them? I borrowed a family member AT&T simcard, but still no luck. It will say searching for update, then say I already have the latest version, which I don't. I tried manually moving forward the dates, the phone refuses to search for update unless I kept continuing to move forward the dates, which I ran out of (2037 is the limit). So seems like I have to factory reset the phone.

I can't leave the sim card in for 24hours as I have to give it back, so I'm deciding whether I should try ordering the Red Pocket sim, or go for the AT&T prepaid. I did try flashing with LGUP and it error at 79%, fortunately nothing bad happen after reboot.

I made this mistake before, but I have to make sure this is the last time I will ever purchase an AT&T phone.
[LG V35 Questions & Answers] kgbeezr1:
I had a hell of a time with updates ultimately because I had to do several since it was so far behind, but in the end I can't find rhyme or reason with what would cause it to access the server. The most reliable way that I could find so that it wouldn't just keep saying "phone is up to date" without checking was to completely disable the data connection (turn data off using the quick settings button in the pulldown), restart phone, try to do manual update, if it didn't work move date forward 5 days, try again, and that would usually get it to poll the server, but I would have to move the date back to "auto" in between restarts. I couldn't find an exact pattern for success, but eventually I got through either 4 or 5 updates. Totally janky.

The fact that data had to be off entirely makes me question whether or not the Tracfone SIM was even necessary, but I didn't have the patience to do further testing. Before having the Tracfone SIM I didn't actually try the restarting and moving the date back and forth. It only occurred to me to turn data off completely when someone, I think in this thread, mentioned they got their V20 to update by taking the SIM out entirely and I didn't feel like going in search of the SIM removal tool. Again, i'm not totally sure that was even a factor, just telling you what I tried.

Hope you can figure it out, If you have an actual ATT SIM it might just be a matter of restarts, data off, and moving date around. Good luck.

Btw, mine updated to "V350AWM12j" which isn't actually listed on LG's website as being an ATT software version. I think the last one is "i" maybe, I forget but it's not "j". It has the same March security update.

Finally made it work.

Went to Target and bought a AT&T Prepaid sim for $10. Inserted the sim and activated it with the USSD code provided, used the cheapest plan: 0.25c / min, which include no data. The minimal amount I can refill into the account is $10. I just left the phone alone with data enabled and wifi on. About every 6 hours the phone automatically download new updates and gave the notification. I'm going to play safe and leave the phone to do it automatically and not force it manually. So paid about $22 to AT&T to get updates, and some more money whenever they decide to release Pie.
[LG V35 Questions & Answers] ArcaStor:
Thanks eksasol for the idea ...

Thanks much eksasol for the idea. After seeing your post above, I bought an AT&T Prepaid SIM on eBay for $2.49, but never even used it because AT&T has a FREE SIM promotion going on this month. I just received the SIM card via free FedEx Overnight directly from AT&T after signing up for the $.25/min. plan. Put the SIM in my unlocked AT&T variant V35 just now, loaded new prepaid account with minimum $10.00 (plus $.66 tax) and it started updating immediately and automatically on its own without my direction. My phone since brand new has been stuck for the past 11 months on the original V350AWM10f May18 Android security patch level, and this 1st update bumped me up to V350AWM10w Nov18.

As soon as that automatic update completed, I manually requested the 2nd, 3rd and 4th updates which bumped me to V350AWM12e Feb19, V350AWM12j Mar19 and V350AWM12k Apr19 respectively. All 4 of these updates only took a total of 75 mins.

I'm now back on my MVNO making free calls and consuming cheap data again with a secure, updated smartphone. Now when is Pie coming to AT&T V35's? :^D

P.S. it appears the updates came in over free Wi-Fi rather than costly Cellular, as the Update Manager warned me from leaving the Wi-Fi area?

Yes, but the AT&T SIM card made it eligible to receive the updates.

Ignore the part about "brick fix" it's also Instructions for cross flashing.

If you use Upgrade mode it won't erase your data. If that doesn't work for you, then you'll have to use Refurbish mode the first time which will erase data. After that for future updates, you can use Upgrade mode.
