I am trying to download the update but the assistant won't detect my device...
I checked in the Devices Centre and my phone was in there, but on the assistant nothing will pop up.

Are you by any chance using the one that's white? I've read a handful of threads on other sites saying the White LG G2 are having problems.

Another white here with the same issue. I have tried on three Windows 7 computer

I tried the LG Support Tool and this was the result

I've even done new drivers, and all of the above. The droid life article doesn't help when the upgrade assistant won't find my device. I'm lost

I wish I could help you mate, but I can't find anything. I guess I'll just see where the update is at tomorrow.

I have a fresh install of windows 8, no drivers. Attached the phone, drivers updated automatically and everything worked. Maybe if you delete all the old LG drivers and start again, then put in internet/Ethernet mode, see if that works. i couldn't get the OTA to work, got error messages, but the upgrade assistant did.

how can I pull the update if it's a Verizon phone on page plus so I'm not receiving the OTA?

I found one way
Hello evryone. I had the same problem. I went on the computer side into Device manager and clicked portable devices while phone was connected. Clicked on my phone (samsung sm n910v) and then on the second tab that say Driver and 5 tabs show up, clicked on ROLL BACK DRIVER and that did it for me. Thank you everyone for other helpfull info i have gotten from this website

I purchased an LG G2 on ebay to get me through until my iPhone 7 ships, had the same problem. I don't know if the USB debugging step is necessary, but here's what I did to get the app to recognize the phone:
1. Enable Developer Features (Settings > About Phone > Software Information > Tap Build Number like 5 times or something (it tells you how many after several taps) to enable developer features
2. Enable USB debugging (Settings > Developer options > USB debugging) - note that you cannot enable while the phone is connected to PC via USB. So unplug first then enable.
3. Start Software Upgrade Assistant software on PC.
4. Plug phone into PC and choose install/media sync mode.
5. Then go to phone and change the connection mode to internet > ethernet.
6. Update software started reading my phone status.
Unfortunately my device is 4.2.2 and software version "VS98008U" and says that it's up to date. I can't find any information about this software version anywhere, so I'm not sure what I got sold on ebay but it aint friendly. And all I want to do is upgrade to current Android version so I can install the latest ESPN Fantasy Sports app until my iPhone comes

Software

Is there a software that was supposed to come with the phone to make it easy to connect to the computer?

Its on the phone, if you want to go that route. The first time you connect your phone it mounts itself as a cd iso and you run the install from there, unless you checked off "Disable Software Install" under settings -> Storage.

Anyone here have an airrave?

I just got this phone today and for the life of me can't get it to send a text message when in air wave coverage. I have tried everything I can think of to fix it nothing works. Do any of you have any experience with this, or possible fixes?

Call Sprint, ask them for Airave ver 2.5. The one we have is either 1.0 or 2.0.. and it is not fully compatible with latest phones like ONE or S4..
They will, ofcourse, ship to you for free!

Check my post here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2281275. I logged in my Sprint and went to manage airave and there is an allow all option or restrict access where you can enter the phones numbers for access. Check this and see what yours are. Mine has been working all day after discovering this setting

call airave support, they will do something and make it work :good: Thats what i did
This worked for me:
1. Unplug Airave
2. Update PRL on phone; reboot it.
3. Turn phone on airplane mode.
4. Plug in Airave and wait for it to boot completely.
5. Turn off airplane mode and wait for it to establish data connection.
6. Test.

This process does work....been having problems with my g/f's phone and the airrave, and this absolutely solved the issue...

I have an airrave installed in my office at work. Have multiple phones on it every day, really no issues. Never had text issue with my new one either. Have an S3 & two evo LTE's on it as well without issues. I always shut the airrave off when doing any kind of programming or updating profiles.
Just got word from Sprint today that there is a known error involving the Airave and GPS synchronization, ever since the last update that is. No eta, but they are working on it.

[Q] LG "On Screen Phone" for Verizon model?

Hi there. I am trying to install LG's On Screen Phone tool (Download here), and connect it to my Verizon LG G2 (VS980). I first saw this in DeamonFish's root guide tutorial here:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_embedded&v=Y45SXPRb31o
It's what he used to show the phone screen on his PC. Basically a VNC setup made by LG.
In order for that software to connect you have to switch into "PC Software" mode under USB connection Mode. Check my attachment for what that looks like.
However, it seems Verizon doesn't have this option!
Can anyone confirm? and if so is this something that could possibly be remedied via a rom?
It would seem that internet connection Ethernet would allow you to vnc over network. Bit maybe not.

I have tried every single mode available including the Ethernet mode and still nothing
I talked to lg. Only the at&t and T-Mobile devices support this. Just another reason to get the hell off verizon....

Bummer, I just saw this feature now & am realizing its not going to work for Verizon...
I also would love to see this option with the VS980! I could understand that in stock ROM's that Verizon would block this or something but this is XDA we have OPTIONS! Currently running Cloudyflex 2.0 and loving it and would really like to see this feature ported over to these semi-custom LG ROM's.

[Q] No Service

Hi!
I just got my new G Flex today (I know, a bit late to the party) and I put my SIM in and there is no service constantly. I know the SIM is not the problem because it works in other phones. I have already called my service provider and they say that there really shouldn't be anything stopping it from getting service. Also tried to reset the phone to factory settings with no positive result. Is there anything you guys suggest to do?
Thanks!

Did you get the phone from your service provider?
Are you rooted?
Sounds silly, but are you sure the card was inserted correctly?

No, I got it from becextech (a website which imports them to NZ (country I live in)).
No I'm not rooted, just got it today would rooting it help?
And Yes it only goes in one way!
I am however performing a software update to see if that changes anything. Will keep you posted with the results!
Thanks!
UPDATE: Upgrade to 4.4.2 did nothing to the service

Marshmallow 6 update via Samsung Smart Switch

This thread is for people who have/or will have success updating to Android Marshmallow 6 using Samsung’s Smart Switch program.
I am outside of the US.
*UPDATE*
10/09/2016 joking.
*UPDATE*
08/09/2016 I'm buying an iPhone 7.
*UPDATE*
30/07/2016 No one has reported successfully updating to 6.0 Android Marshmallow via Smart Switch.
My Galaxy S6 Active is currently running 5.1.1 and Smart Switch says Your device software is up to date OJE (ATT).
I will update as soon as I can update via Smart Switch and if anyone else has success with Smart Switch please post.
Thank you
US outsider's only option is update via ODIN or sideload. That's all, dont expect updating via Smart Switch.
I'm in the USA. I have a MAC so I can't the sideload option. I'm waiting for the Smart Switch.
No luck yet

I was stateside last week and used an ATT GoPhone SIM to get my S6A up to PCG, but nothing past that, not even the new PDS. Smart Switch kept telling me I had the most current version.
FWIW, ATT.com still shows 5.1.1 is the only version available, not 6.0.1.

AND still nothing as of now
Hey guys, stumbled across this site trying to update my S6 Active to Marshmallow. I'm new to Android (got this phone back in January, never really explored its potential much) and I'm using a mac along with Smart Switch to try and update my phone. I'm in the US, but my phone won't even show up after updating all the drivers, enabling USB debugging in developer options, etc. Without making a new thread, I was wondering if you guys might be able to help me out.
I'm in the USA and Smart Switch does not have 6.0 available. Seems like troll posts as I have seen this claim since February.
Smart switch never did work for me. I tried it up until the last second, then got 6.01 OTA.

I'm outside the USA as well and not with ATT. I was on 5.1.1-PCG, I was able to update to that version while I was stateside in May. It popped up with the OTA to 6.0.1 yesterday, so I assume you have to be on that version for the OTA to pop up.
I do have another S6A on OJE that is not popping up with the MM update, I'm going to try and update it to PCG via the other thread and see if I can get the OTA to pop that way. It keeps telling me that I'm on the most current version with OJE, kinda weird that I could update from PCG but not from OJE... It also says it's the most current version with Smart Switch...
