Issues upgrading to 6.2 - Shield Android TV Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I have a 2015 16GB version that's running stock rooted ROM. I've never had issue with OTA upgrades in the past but 6.2 doesn't install.
It goes through the process but doesn't seem to upgrade because it keeps prompting me to upgrade.
I believe that the issue is because of root. So I would like to know if there is an easier way of unrooting and getting OTA instead of going completely back to stock?

I haven't got the update yet how come?

I got a AT&T S4 unlocked using it on T-Mobile I tried checking in settings and connecting to kies doesn't show a update

ATT got the update, your t-mobile, and I think you guys got one also, umm are you rooted?

Similar situation. So I manually updated. I downloaded the MF3 package from http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2358763 and use the stock recovery to update and now it works.

Do you think there's another way to update without doing that?

Because your phone is being used on T-Mobile, your update will come from T-Mobile. Pretty sure that is what the axman was saying. I had a tmo phone on att at one point and got my updates from att....
I'm not sure how that works for our device, so you may not get an update at all from Tmo. But yes in general your update would come from tmo.

I haven't gotten the update either. I'm on an ATT i337 running Tmo SIM. Kies still says I'm current, and I've tried changing my phone's date to August 1st and still no update. If I'm on an ATT phone but using Tmo, will the OTA update work from Settings?
I don't want to root my phone until I get this update.

the latest update blocks root. if you want to update to a just recently rooted MF3 version, check out this link.

I appreciate the reference to the other thread, but I really don't want to spend the time jumping through those hoops. I'm hoping for an easy firmware update now, then a root method sometime down the line.

then keep an eye out on http://www.sammobile.com/firmwares for an MF3 tar release. once it drops you can flash via odin without root access
I'm confused. Will I receive the update through Settings->About Device->Software Update, or will I have to update it through Kies?
EDIT: Just noticed that I can't check for an update for another 1269 hours!!!

Wonder why we haven't got it yet
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I337 using Tapatalk 4 Beta
correct me if i'm wrong here.. i thought i read from that it's best not to do OTA updates if your usage preferences rely on root and/or custom roms and kernels.. i only use odin because from what i understand, that is usually the safest way to fully wipe and restore/upgrade/downgrade mobile devices running android. am i wrong? curious.

Sprint update available for me.

There is a 110mb update available through sprint for me called ls980zv7_01_to_zv8_13. Do I need to unroot before applying this update? I don't want to brick my phone again.

Are you only rooted if so OK but if you have custom recovery you need lg g2 ls980 stock recovery.
PS I will just ignore the ota.

I ignored it also but I can't get it off my notifications. We're you able to?

That's the only way to get rid of custom recovery? Darn it took me a while to customize this phone.

Nope. It's still there. Might have to bite the bullet and revert to stock.
Anyone have any info on the update?
I tried searching real quick but didn't see anything.

What update? That's also a pretty big size for a minor update, if so, KitKat? Hey a man can only hope haha

Just found it.
Says audio enhancement and google security patch...
That doesn't add up.
They're leaving a lot out obviously.
I can't post the link on here because it changes a couple parts of the link to smiley faces.
Go here: http://support.sprint.com/support/
Select lg.
Select g2.
On the far right near the bottom under "Device Resources" select "Find and update the software version on your LG G2"

I reverted to stock to install it. Its the same android version. The software version number changed to LS980V8. Can't notice anything that is changed.
I've been stock but no update for me

Which instructions did you use to revert to stock? I'm stock rooted with twrp. I'm guessing that I need to revert back to stock recovery at the least.

Download and extract this zip http://storagecow.eu/index.php?dir=Xda%2FLG+G2%2FStock%2FSprint+LS980%2F And open the readme text and follow those instructions.

Is there anyway to downgrade G935TUVU3APG1 to G935TUVU2APD7
Did updating to the newest patch make your phone experience constant app crashing and resets??

Try to flash it in odin, then as soon as your phone reboots hold vol +, home, and power. See if that will let you boot into TWRP

Can't flash an OTA or sideload it on a modified system at all. So not sure what you are looking for.

I see it, I guess I have never updated any other way besides your M8 thread and this one. I just thought I could pull the firmware, etc and update it but I don't think it's probably that simple right? Thank you.

If you just want to update firmware you can do that but it won't touch the rom update wise.
