LG V40 Sprint would not receive security update - LG V40 Questions & Answers

Hi guys,
I have LG V40 from Sprint and it is unlocked. Currently being used on T-mobile network.
Problem: the phone is not receiving security update, in fact the last update is from May 1, 2019.
My question is, can someone capture the URL of OTA download file?
Here is the guides on how to capture: Use windows Software fiddler as proxy server, connect your phone to PC and check update via proxy server.
Please help!

You can try manually updating it. Just download the right firmware for your model.

Why wouldn't you kill two birds with one stone? Cross flash to the US version, thereby unlocking HD voice, Wi-Fi calling, volte, and all the other T-Mobile bands. And update to the January 2020 security release.
I think the real question is, why are you sticking with the Sprint build?

Does anyone have the Sprint Update Utility?

i'm looking for the Sprint update utility?
i know they are pushing the update via OTA but i really need the utility.
thanks in advance...
You sprint users may not be so lucky getting a leaked updater. I would wait and see what happens with the update when the update has been ota.
well, has anyone been able to update a Sprint Version to cricket?
I guess you could. If you want to have to call sprint and tell them you need service re-activated on your line because you updated before the ota. I would think the CricKet updater has different network information.

[Q] Need to be activated with a carrier to get OTA updates?

I have the Pure Edition with a T-Mobile SIM card, however, I have not yet activated it with T-Mobile.
Will OTA updates work while I am connected to Wifi? It keeps telling me that I am up-to-date, so it seems like It is checking. However, it has never told me there is an update available while I was on KitKat. I had to manually upgrade to Lollipop (22.11.6)
Thanks.

Moto system update , will it cause trouble?

I bought Moto E4 Plus, XT1774, Verizon prepaid version from Target a week ago. Bought an unlock code from eBay to unlock it successfully and it is used on Tmobile, all good.
I also removed several Verizon apps via adb commands. But I read somewhere that if I do a factory reset, these Verizon apps will come back. I have not tried it.
A few days ago I saw a system update notice, says new version: NDRS26.58-33-2 is ready to install. My question is:
1, Should I install it just for the security update benefits? I do not know what's in this update, assuming security update.
2, Is there a way to delete this update that is already downloaded to my phone? There appears to be no option to delete this download and make it go away permanently. I will be nagged by this alert every week I suppose if I cannot disable it.
Thanks in advance for any tips ,
Not sure if it will cause issues with what you did. More than likely it will just install the new version, and re-add the apps. Unless you're rooted I don't think you can delete the update. It will keep asking you to install until you do.
Didn't think the E4 Plus would get any updates. I got the Sprint version, and haven't seen any updates yet.

It will continue to get system/security updates, but not OS upgrades. The system/security updates are based on carriers (unless you have an unlocked version then you'll get them from Moto when ready).

With having the sprint version, so far I haven't got any security updates. I have the June 1st security patch. I did flash the unlocked version ROM, so I wonder if I will get an update directly from Moto and not worry about Sprint delaying them.
Another thing I wonder is will Moto release an update soon to take care of krack vulnerability?

SM-G973F no update available

Hey guys!
Today I have purchased my first Samsung device since Galaxy S2 (I've been using xiaomi since then) and I have met a bit of an issue with my phone. The current version installed is One UI 1.1 (June 1 security patch) and the phone says it's the latest version. I have purchased it from Hungarian Telekom provider. Is it possible, that the provider is handling OTA updates? If so, is it possible to install the generic version instead of the provider firmware via odin? I thought provider OTA is no longer an existing stuff, but It seems that it's not.
Thanks for the answers!
Edit: most importantly: is it possible to relock bootloader if I wanted to sell it sometime?
Yes, the provider handles the updates unless you are on the unlocked Samsung firmware in which case Samsung itself will provide updates. There are tons of firmware files floating around the forums here, you might be able to flash one if one works with your phone.
Thanks, I'm surely gonna do it if the bootloader can be locked back.
Frija App should be able to help you download the correct firmware. Just be sure to install the Visual C++ Runtimes (2008 and 2010) before launching the app.

Android 11 OTA update

Hi there,
Anyone on AT&T can possibly share latest firmware OTA update file with Android 11 for RAZR 5G (XT2071-2)?
As per AT&T site last update (Build version RPS31.Q1-40-34-15-10) was released on July 21, that update finally brings Android 11 to RAZR 5G.
Looks there is no other way to get Android 11 on XT2071-2 rather than via FOTA since 1) AT&T phones have locked bootloader & 2) it's not possible to unlock it via Motorola unlock program (confirmed for my phone).
I live outside of US and can't receive firmware OTA updates as phone should be physically connected to AT&T network.
Still, there is possibility to sideload OTA updates manually via ADB. To complete that proper firmware OTA file needed, here is guidance how OTA url can be captured either via ADB or from Developer menu.
Also, whoever is looking for Razr 5G Full Stock firmware images for different regions/carriers that can be found here
Thanks!
