Hi! Does anyone have this problem? When I go to System Updates it gets me a message that reads "Check for update is not available at this time. Try again later". I know the update is not realease yet but I'm concerned that if something is wrong. I tried with 3g and Wifi and it's the same. I rooted my phone and uninstall some apps from Verizon. Could this be the problem?

You just answered your own question.
Nope, I did'nt because on the other hand when I had a Motorola Droid 2 when I went to System Updates the message was different: "your device is updated, there's no other update available". What I meant is... The Droid 2 checks for updates even if aren't available, but the Droid 3 don't search, just says that it can't check.
Just wait a few moments and press check for update again, this usually checks properly, no idea why, mine does it too.
being rooted and especially missing some of the Verizon bloatware could certainly hamper your ability to update.
I also had this issue, multiple attempts to start the update immediately (and I mean no delay) came back with the same error.
I just manually ran the leaked OTA instead since it's been confirmed as the 'real deal'.

My D3 says, "You Device is up to Date! No update is necessary at this time."
I'm rooted and multiple bloat apps uninstalled(didn't know about Freezing prior).
I don't think it has anything to do with root. My girlfriends d3 isn't rooted and it tells her its up to date as well and our builds are the same. I think its verizon.

Yeah same, mines rooted, multiple apps frozen, with the "leaked/soaked" OTA update, and it says "You Device is up to Date! No update is necessary at this time.".
While rooted and having bloat killed the phone should download the update. It will just fail to install, because the update checks for system changes.
Where exactly did someone confirm the ota is the same as the "leak"? OTA isn't out yet, so I want to read the confirmation info myself.
The last time I flashed a leak (htc eris) I was stuck on a leak while everyone who was patient received the final release version OTA. We didn't get access to the latest stuff until roughly a month after those who waited.
Just curious, don't want to make the same mistake twice. Lol.

Hey guys,
I'm using a stock S3 LTE (i9305) from my carrier and my device status is "Modified" even though I've never attempted to root it and can't run rooted apps. Can you guys please go Settings -> scroll down to About device at the bottom -> Status -> scroll to the bottom and check whether your "Device status" is Normal or Modified?
I've not flashed any roms nor rooted but it says modified for me. When I tried checking for updates it says my device has been modified. Strangely it occasionally reverts to "Normal" after a reboot. Just wish to see if anyone else has this problem.
There is also no triangle that appears during the boot up sequence. Is my warranty void?
Thanks!
From memory I think this is normal!
Mine (Australian Telstra i9305T) says "Normal" I'm afraid. Maybe the warehouse boyz got to yours
even though you are not rooted , Did you install CWM ?
I'm from Portugal, and I have the same... And when I try search for software updates I have this error

Hi,
Mine also appears as "Modified"
Country: Portugal
Carrier: TMN
I Would assume that this is due to Carrier modifications to add their bloatware. But then again maybe not.
risinhux: I guess you are talking about the error: Your device has been modified. Software update are not available.

My phone is not rooted as well and it's currently running on jelly bean 4.1.1. I have never rooted my phone ever but when I clicked software update in the setting, it doesn't allow me to and it says device is modified. What should I do to update my phone?
Thanks in advance. =)

Same issue here with Samsung GT-I9305 Swisscom Branded. After a reboot the "modified" is back to "Normal" and you can update.
Swedish Tele2 operated Phone here.
Mine is normal - I guess it has been said before, your operator might have modified it
Call them and ask.

I have just tried a new method on my rooted gti9305t to check for an ota update without having to factory reset the device.
*go into settings, then apps.
*tap on the tab that says 'all' and scroll down to google services framework.
*tap 'clear data', and then 'force stop'
After this process when you go back to software update it should check for the update, it worked for me.

No dice
T-Mobile Note 2 (SGH-T889, v4.1.1, Build number JRO03C.T889UVALL4, Baseband T889UVALL4, rooted),
Clearing data / force stop had no affect:
Your device has been modified. Software updates ate not available
(Being rooted, well yes, it is "modified“, but it's worth a try).
People, I solved my problem: D

Don't look for a fix, you should be able to get a new phone from your Telco, I wouldn't accept a pre-used device

DON'T OTA
going to post this once... please spread the word into the other G4 subforums and any related posts anywhere.
I'm not sure if this is cause for alarm... but just putting the warning out there... based on viewing the latest USCC and T-Mobile files... these recent OTAs for USA carriers seem to be implementing "antirollback" which means you can never "go back" to a lesser version. To simplify things... fresh out of the box all of your phones were at "0" and now after the OTA they're at "1". Both the TMO and USCC KDZ file's are based on the OTA which is a "1" so there's no concern of flashing an older KDZ by mistake... at least for now. Not sure what will happen with future updates.
Can only confirm this on the TMO H811 and USCC US991... Still waiting on Sprint users to grab the OTA URL or zip name for me so I can inspect that... but I suspect all of the recent OTAs from AT&T, Sprint and Verizon also used the "1" update. The European/Asian/Etc variants still seem to be using the "0" version.. even after the recent updates. [Not every OTA will bump up the "version"]
I can't say what this means as a whole just yet... Maybe nothing at all. But perhaps for those who wish to stay at that fresh "0" for now... try your best to avoid the OTA update. I know the intl phones can disable updates but this option has been removed in USA variants. There are talks of an app that allows you to disable apks on your phone... I haven't used it myself but perhaps for those who want to maybe block the OTA app (LGDMSClient.apk)... worth checking out. This is said app: http://forum.xda-developers.com/andr...bloat-t2998294
apks to attempt to disable:
/system/priv-app/LGDMSClient/LGDMSClient.apk (not in all phones)
/system/priv-apps/LGUpdateCenter/LGUpdateCenter.apk
Again.. I don't really know what any of this means just yet... just reporting what I do know. Spread the word.
And for those who were forced to OTA.. or saying this post has come too late.. everyone knows to never ever OTA.. and the app to disable OTA has been around for a bit now. I'm sorry but..
Cross fingers and hope I'm wrong
Phones with "v1" status confirmed:
H811 10H
US991 10C
Seems to work
Thanks for the heads-up. Tried this on my H811 and it seemed to work. It is not able to block the apps, but it can disable them. Hopefully that is enough to stop an OTA.
I did get a message from ES File Explorer that the LG World app had been removed and asked me if I wanted to delete it's folder. So that is a good sign.
After reboot the Update Center in app settings has all options, including force stop, grayed out. So that leads me to believe that it is no longer running. Also, all changes stuck per the debloater program after reboot. :good:
Quick question: How do we tell if the phone has taken an OTA update? This generation has been pretty sneaky about running updates without asking thus far. I am currently on build LMY47D, but I am not sure if that is any different than what originally came on the phone.

For T-Mobile the software version of the latest update is H81110h. Find this under software, in About Phone. If you have that you took the FOTA/OTA from T-Mobile.

I purchased my g4 the evening before the pre-order for tmobile started .... So may 27th ish early. The girl on The phone said i was The first one to order it. Got it 3days later. When i first powered it on i was careful to not let it update, Which it didn't. Since I've had the phone it has never updated. When i checked software version I'm on h811 10h of lmy47d. I think it came installed with 10h.

But my point was that I received one of the first ones that were commercially available in the United States. I was three first person to get one thru t mo pre-order. Right the second they became available, and it was 10h

Those greedy bastards just dont want us to experience happiness. (i.e. root, unlock boot). They want us to just be calm in their regime, so they can 'monitor' what we 'do'. Lg......jeez Its just a damn phone, gimme the unlock bin.
got mine on the 8th, before i walked out of the store it was updating to 10h (didnt know about this till now). i think the sales girl did the update while she had it in her grubby little hands
so if i understand, once you get to 10h you cant go back a version, is that right? didnt this same thing happen with the g2?
It auto updates during the setup process unfortunately. I'm sure she didn't care much about it. I'm a rep and I'm pretty sure nobody that is a rep besides me (out of everyone is talked to) knows much about stuff like this. I'm annoyed that we don't have the unlocked bootloader like the g3. :/

Just purchased a G4 myself and saw it updating at the counter. Pretty sure it updates during the setup process and we have no choice. Current software version in my hands is H81110h. Is this not the original version? Do we have a KDZ in which is older that we can attempt to use to go backwards? Thanks!

This is getting ridiculous, we need an update from 5.0.2, the memory issues I'm dealing with even on XtreStoLite are almost unbearable
Exactly and as updates for 5.1 come out for other carriers we get updates for random att crap that are almost a month old
It's sad to say that the latest AT&T OTA patches the export for ping pong root, don't take the OTA, because you cannot downgrade the Odin fails

They know because it says on the Ping Pong Root thread not to update for anything past May 15th as the method for root has been patched
I'm curious if there are any other undocumented changes besides the 2 official changes listed earlier. It feels like a fairly big patch for a fix to an phone location and a kernel security fix.

AT&T Software Update is the main one, but there are a few others - I don't have an AT&T ROM on mine right now to help out, but it's been posted a few times already (I think I even posted those once)
Just freeze att software update. Then it can't even run so no downloads. I got lucky I clicked on update after reading it in Android central but didn't want to install it. Postponed couple of times but somehow it automatically loaded the update process. I was like sh#t. When it booted up it said a problem updating. And then I blocked the updater. My root almost gone lol

Same thing happened to me being rooted. It just tried to install automatically. Woke up to my phone restarting but then I got the error "problem updating". I was pretty relieved on that error lol... :victory:
I've had this phone since about a month before the S6 announce. It's 100% stock, never rooted.
I am currently at android 5.0 and it keeps telling me that an upgrade is available and it downloads it.
The upgrade is 609.83 megabytes.
It then tries to install. Reboots the phone. When it restarts it says "Installing" for about 2secs and then immediately goes to "Install Interupted" and reboots into android with nothing telling why it failed.
I did a bit of research and everything online either says 5.0 is the highest version available or tells me to try to manually update using Kies. I installed kies and it says i'm already at highest version.
Is 5.0 really the highest ATT version? If so then why is it downloading and trying to install? Why does it tell me that I have an update when i'm already updated?
Any help would be great.
I believe the latest version is 5.1.1. You possibly could have an app causing the update issue. I would try uninstalling downloaded apps first and try again. If that doesn't work, you could try doing a factory reset and then try again.
Supposedly you need 6GB available to update.

This is the answer. Go find the threads about OTA updates (you're not the first to have this issue). Basically comes down to needing 5-8GB free space on the phone for the update to work. Back everything up to your computer or an SD card and go from there.
