Hi everybody, I'm a new user. I just bought a new G2 phone of Verizon and I don't know how to update it up to 4.4.2. The seller told me that I could use the flashtool to update it, but I can image to do that. I've read a topic that guides us to do that but it's not so clear.
It's here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2699123&page=37
So can anybody do me a favour by letting me know the concrete process? Do we need to connect the phone to the PC to run the adb shell or we can do it on our phones? How we open the adb shell on our phones?
And one more thing, I have to mention about the "auto rotate". Does anyone have a problem with it after update?
In settings at the bottom there's an option for system update. I didn't use a computer for the update, all OTA! As soon as I got the phone and got my wifi set up, a pop-up came up on my phone alerting me to an update. Both mine and my wife's...

Ah yes. Then the LG app would probably be your best bet. I don't know anything about it, sorry I can't help.

Check LG's support site, I believe there's a link to it once you search for the VS980 on there.

Actually I have seen the process to update but I got some problems that are unclear and I need someone to explain it to me.

You need to detail what issues/errors you've ran into then.

Is it worth rooting yet or should I wait til something stable arrives? You know, where we can unroot, flash roms/recoveries. I dont wanna funk up my brand new s4. Which way did u guys root?

According to the article the update is 30 megs. I've yet to see it myself however so no idea.
Got the device yesterday afternoon and it has been bugging me about the firmware update all morning.
Weird. I keep checking for the update off and on this morning and I still don't have it.

Believe so. Should have some time here in a few and I can work on that.
**Great...I kept ignoring it and rebooted my phone and now can't get it to pop back up. Keep checking but nothing yet. Maybe someone else will have some luck however I don't think this OTA is anything special. Maybe even just some PRL updates or something.**
Im in SC, and have tried clearing google services and multiple restarts and no sign of an OTA
Im up in ny, and I still have no update. I hope it's not an update to patch the root exploit.
Not OTA, but there is this page with the Sprint PH-720 about halfway down.
http://samsung-updates.com/latest-firmware/
I've spoken to Samsung and Sprint about this today and something tells me this update was pulled.

So I'm seeing these articles about the sprint moto x getting an update but I haven't received or seen much talk about the sprint version on here getting that update. Is it still only hitting certain areas? Could someone maybe get us sprint users that are unlocked get a stock system.img and boot.img with that update applied?

Please god. I've been trying to find ANYTHING that can put this update on my phone. Nobody has posted the update.zip or any of the images or anything. I've seen people say they've received the update, but that's about it. I really want this update.
Minus the release notes I have seen very little about this update from anyone that has it. I would like to hear what people are seeing.

Ok so I got the update a few days ago and it failed to install because I'm unlocked and rooted and all that jazz. So I grabbed the zip file out of /cache and uploaded it here:
https://db.tt/oqP3l1Qs
For what it's worth, the last few times I've checked for an update, my phone says I'm up to date even though I'm still on 4.2.
Edit: Dropbox instead of Drive
Edit: Just realized this zip is the same software version I already have. Then why did my phone tell me it was an update to be downloaded?
Sent from my XT1056 using XDA Premium 4 mobile app
I know it isn't much help but I was in the Sprint Store yesterday and their demo phone had the update sitting ready to install. They wouldn't let me get ahold of it and take it off though. Could have very easily done so in a few minutes.

I flashed the stock system.img and recovery.img flashed this file and it flashed successfully....You have something here....
Im booting up right now right after flashing to read my build prop and build number...Will also check camera performance.
Someone please go to their about phone section and tell me their kernel version, everything in their please, post an SS!
Someone posted that the initial roll-out was a test run and only sent to a fraction of Sprint users. The main roll-out is supposed to happen on October 2.

If you a running a sprint Moto X, could you take an SS of your about phone sections so I could see your system and kernel version please. The update I just installed has appeared to upgraded my kernel version as well, and I want to make sure I am accurate when I say that.

Interesting. The name of the zip says 139.12.2 but it brought you up to 139.14.4. I guess it was mislabeled.

Anyway to install the OTA zip without root? Never done that and don't want to root just yet.
EDIT* Never mind... found out how to enter recovery mode and select update from zip without rooting the device.
Confirmed as well - this is 139.14.4

Can anyone tell me if it's possible to use this update on Verizon branded Moto X's? I don't know if this update includes radios or basebands. Also, where the hell is the tmobile apk for the camera??
Update applied. Worked just fine just like the other guy said. Anyone who wants the update can do this through stock recovery.

So can I get the step by step instructions to apply this manually. I have downloaded the file from the drop box link here in this thread. I do not have rot nor is my boot loader unlocked. I can get phone into recovery via fast boot and selecting recovery but all I get is an android laying down with an error stating no command. I have moved the file to the root of my SD card but am unable to put it into cache obviously without root access.

right, right, I plan to RUU as soon as I hear it's out so I can see if the reception is really improved at my house with the firmware update for the radio....just won't know it's out because I'm obviously not receiving OTA notifications on LiquidROM (official ones anyway^^).
The update was released in Europe this morning.
Look Here.
Anyone heard anything good or bad about this update for the people who got it over seas?
Did it help with their reception issues? Or is it only Sprint M8s that are experiencing this?

i wan't to say its just us since it seems to be issues with spark, s5 owners have similar problems on sprint. Don't quote me on that though :good:
Any news on when this will roll out to US? My data doesn't want to stay connected. CDMA only mode doesn't help. Only way to get connectivity back is to restart the device. Toggling Airplane mode stopped helping.
Anyone knows if this reception problems affect that sometimes YouTube fail to stream...

Try this....first obtain your MSL.
Open your dialer and enter in ##3282#
Hit "Edit Mode"
Type in your MSL
Hit "Advanced"
Hit "RTSP/HTTP Setting"
Under HTTP proxy IP delete what you see there and type in 0.0.0.0
Under HTTP proxy port delete what you see there and type in 0
Reboot the phone and you should be able to stream YouTube. I guess it doesn't like the default Sprint servers, not sure why, but this should work for you. Let us know the outcome.
Thanks I did your suggestion and at the moment I haven't had any problems...
Maybe you have knowledge in this problem too, I bought Talon for Twitter and instagram previews don't load in the timeline. Apparently I am the only having this issue and I don't find anyone on Sprint network to verify if they had the same problem...

No, I'm not familiar with Talon. I'm on Twitter and everything seems fine, not on Instagram though. Is it a Flash file that handles the previews? Do you have an ad blocker running?

I know this thread is a little old, but i had the same problem after rooting my T-Mobile Flex. I'm telling you, the guide to restore stock firmware DOES 100% work. The problem is that it's not clear on what state your phone must be in. I had to manually enter Download Mode in order to get the thing working. I have been reading that some people were able to fully restore their phone by using the LG Suite program, which can be found on LG's official support page. Make sure your computer actually "registers" your phone being connected to it by installing the appropriate drivers.
Hey guys, I just got an update on my phone asking to install. i installed the united drivers and tried using debloater to no avail. and i cant figure out how to stop it or get rid of it. has anyone been able to stop it or get rid of it on the sprint g4? Thanks

Does anyone know what the Sprint Update File changes - anything we would notice? Or is it just limited to behind-the-scenes changes that you can't even tell what they are so no reason to bother (while holding out for root)?
