I am using G2 VS980 originaly from VERIZON, but unlocked for international network.
PROBLEM: fail to do software update direct from the phone - always
Current system:
============
Android 4.2.2,
Baseband VS98011A-M8974A-AAAANAZM-1.0.191007
Kernel Version 3.4.0-perf-g7c2d0a2 [email protected]
Builder number: JDQ39B
Software Version: VS98011A
How could I jump quickly into Android 4.4.2 at VS98026A, the latest system for G2?
Don't think you can. There is no Kdz file of the rom yet. You could go to 24b which is kitkat. There is the Kdz of that one flying around.

for now, there is KDZ file. if you can do KDZ "download" to your phone, look here
http://forum.xda-developers.com/verizon-g2/development/dev-vs98026a-kdz-file-t2940581
and seek how-to do KDZ "download".
I did already
You need to take out your international Sim and reboot to check for the update. With me the same thing happened. It wouldn't let me check updates when a non Verizon Sim was inside

Description: This is the official version of Android 4.3 pushed to phones via OTA on January 7, 2014. Shortly thereafter an Odin package was posted that contains the entire firmware, not just the update package that was pushed via OTA. This firmware adds compatibility with the Samsung Galaxy Gear, enables drag and drop to uninstall or disable applications, and adds more AT&T bloat. Since new bootloaders are included in this update there is currently no other way to downgrade to any of the other firmwares. A brief changelog for the release by AT&T can be found here. Please read this important note about the ML2 bootloader before flashing, it provides a way to preserve the ability to downgrade.

Saferoot ( http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2565758 ) worked for MI2 for me. Is there anyone who has tried it (or would be willing to try it) on ML2? I'm sorry if this has been covered somewhere. I just spent the past hour or so catching up on things I've missed in the past few weeks and didn't see record of anyone attempting it, but I easily could have missed it.

There are some discussions in this thread, http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2606550, about how MI2 works but ML2 does not. Once again, there still is no root whatsoever for the official 4.3 (ML2) for the time being. (1/31/14)
Also on a side note, a lot of people are getting confused between MI2 root which is root for the "LEAKED" version of 4.3 and ML2 which is the "OFFICIAL" version of 4.3 which can't be rooted as of now. Just hopefully people will catch on the difference between MI2 and ML2

Please read the descriptions for the firmware in the OP. If you want to be on the latest official firmware, flash ML2. You will lose root with no way to get it back and you will not be able to downgrade to any other firmware. If this is troubling to you then flash anything else.

I read through that post and it is starting to sound like that is the route to go, flash Ml2's bootloader with ML2. I think the last person I saw who posted said his wifi worked along with everything else others had issues with after.
I am still pretty new to android os's, but is the locked bootloader something that would keep me from successfully backing up my entire system(MF3, 4.2.2, safestrap, rooted, unlocked), then installing ML2, then running a restore of my MF3 backup? I know that sounds silly, but if I could restore MF3, I could help experiment with this ML2 situation, i.e. getting root to work or who knows maybe even figuring out this locked bootloader issue we are dealing with. I guess the problem would be I would need to be rooted to do a full restore, correct?

Sorry for the confusion, this thread is for the AT&T stock firmware, I should have put that in the title of the thread. I would add the Mexico and Uruguay versions, but I don't know enough about it and I don't want AT&T users to try using firmware that isn't meant for their phone.

I'm going to bet that it won't flash since the Telcel users were unable to flash the AT&T ML2 firmware. If you do try this, I would be very hesitant to flash the included bootloader. If you are able to keep the bootloader from either MF1 or MI2 you will allow yourself an escape path back to other firmware. Good luck.
Thanks for the advice!

Are you currently on ML2? If you are can you try flashing the ML2 bootloader for the i9295 from sammobile? I'm guessing it will fail to flash, but if it is successful you have the potential for an unlocked i537. Be careful because you could also end up bricking your phone flashing any firmware or bootloader.

Normally I would suggest BEFORE you flash away from Stock, on the phone you first go App Drawer -> Settings -> About Phone... Make note of what is listed under System Version, Android Version, and build number. Then visit one (or all) of the sites until that host the leaked SBF files until you find the SBF that matches and down load the file to your PC for use later.. The file name will usually contain parts or all of that info listed under settings, and possibly the carrier name, or acronym for the carrier name (Verizon might be VZW, Rogers Canada might be RCI, etc).
But seeing as you are no longer using your stock ROM, you need to provide us with some details...
1. Who is your carrier?
2. Was the phone you purchased from Amazon branded for your carrier, or was it "Unlocked"?
3. Is there any model info imprinted into the lower portion of the back case (in very fine print)?

1 & 2. My carrier is Claro Argentina but I bought the phone unlocked in Amazon, no branded.
3. It says XT1050. I guess that's the model. I tried to find a 4.4.4 room for that model but nothing.
Thanks for the answer.

Can you boot the phone to bootloader mode and tell me what you see on the 2nd line?
And I've only seen 4.4.2 leaks for XT1050, and also they were for regional carriers in the USA, so possibly not what you need.

30.B7 is the bootloader for a 4.4.4 ROM.
So you don't want to flash a 4.4.2 rom on there.
At this point, unless you can find a Stock Moto 4.4.4 XT1050 SBF, I would just sit with your phone as is.
I mean, you could try finding any XT1050 4.4.4 SBF and flashing it, but I've only seen one SBF for XT1050, and it was 4.4.2. So you'd risk bricking if you flash it, or if you take an OTA after you flashed it (since gpt/motoboot on your phone will be the wrong version). And even then, I'm not sure if it has any "carrier specific" settings in it.
Maybe You'll get lucky if 5.1 SBF's start leaking, and we'll see an XT1050 SBF.

Hello guys;
First of all, Let me post my phone software info:
Android Version: 4.4.2
Build Number: KOT49H.G870AUCU1ANG3
Phone Location: out USA
I tried all methods available to update my phone at least lollipop not even Marshmallow! and every time i get the message "The is the latest software update available to your phone"!
I tried the software update inside settings, Kies 3 (also emergency recovery method), Smart Switch, AT&T SIM Card inserted with USA VPN...etc)...non of them worked for me!
Does any one manage to have a legit Lollipop or Marshmallow Odin Stock Flash?!
I saw some methods over recovery with OTA update packages but it is too risky since there is no Stock ROM for the device in Sammobile also i am afraid to brick the device or losing IMEI and no service Box is supporting it!
looking for your help!?

Thats becuz there isnt for att yet. Therr are over the airs for 5.0 but nothing else. And the update to 5.1 but its stock and unrooted you have to be rooted im sure for that and using flashfire for it so it just changes rom and not bootloader . Allowing you to still downgrade back.

I bought a new Lg g4 model h81520g as shown in setting>about phone>software info. I wanted to check for update but there's no software update option, only apps update is available. so what I decided to do is to reflash the stock software to enable update option. I downloaded the kdz file "H81520g" but when I connected it to computer and ran the LGUP it shows another variant which is LS991zv6. I tried to flash the downloaded file, but it gives an error "invalid kdz. My Lg g4 comes with marshmallow on board. the stock recovery works fine, and also the download mode is fine.
my question is: should I download and flash LS991zv6? by the way, I checked my imei in imei info .com and it shows the model as LS991 sprint

Zv6 is lolipop no mm. U need to check the motherboard. Must disasmble the device and see what it says. Bit if the device is working i would leave it be. Its almost more hassle than its worth

Thats what im telling u zv6 is a lolipop firmware for sure no debate there..
Thats why i say leave it be. This is one of those if u mess up u can hard brick it. Theres not a diffrence between mm and lolipop motherboards but zv6 is a lolipop firmware. Not mm.
are you telling me that software info in about the phone is wrong

Currently have a T-Mobile (LM405TA) that's stuck in an update. Haven't been able to figure out a workaround.
Current OS: Android 9 - T-Mobile 20h
Preferred OS: Android 10 - T-Mobile 30e
Are these T-Mobile devices safe to use LGUP on to flash their own KDZ file?

Yes that's what the kdz is for, to update the phone. But if your phone, as you say, is stuck in an OTA update, LGUP may not recognize the device, have you verified you can get to download mode?
If so, I'd say go ahead and do the update.
cheers
