Download the firmware ftf file that is in the general section, download flashtool - the latest version which is 0.9.13.0 and flash the firmware.
So you mean guys is ftf update? Not android firmware update?..

It depends on update.
If it's only minor update, usually it's possible.
But big OTA updates won't work.
You'll get notification and be able to download but it'll show error as soon as you try to flash it.
You can use flashtool

Didn't quite understood this...
But yeah...I'm 99.9% sure OTA will fail on this.
Try...you can't lose anything...if you see error msg, nothing bad won't happen.
Just download ftf amd flash it through flashtool, exclude all wipes and you'll be on 4.4 with all data and accounts...

So I haven't been following XDA lately or system updates. My phone is currently rooted with xposed running. I am thinking about updating the software, but I need to know how I can upgrade to the fullest while keeping my root. Thanks

Pretty much gotta wait now until root is made for zv9 now
Sent from my LG-LS995 using XDA Free mobile app
Yep. Hopefully development on this phone isn't completely dead....especially with the LS996 coming out very shortly.
I really could use the PRL update along with the wifi calling update which I use frequently since the AirRave they sent isn't compatible with this phone (that's what sprint told me).

Ohkay so im completly new at this but I used stump roots brute force method on my LG-LS995, and it worked twice. Little did i know I had been upgraded to lolipop, so when I tried a wifi hot spot hack (messing up the actual process the first time) I ended up in boot loop. Im currently working on fixing my phone. I was dumb but I'm learning. Anyway, you can brute force v9 with stump root.

I thought v9 was lollipop, but I could be mistaken, like I said, I'm new at this. I just checked for a software update before rooting my phone.

Today my wife said to me that she got the OTA update message. She was on 5.0.2 customized German, totally stock . No root or recovery. Nothing extra.
She applied the update and now her C6903 is on 5.1.1.
