(Q)-OTA update issue??(SOLVED) - G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

okay, i just did the reset back to stock on my phone using the LGFlashTOOL as i did many,many times before,but, the results are different now.
when clicking on software update it does its thing connecting to the server. after that it tells me a new version is available check the notification panel. well thats the problem....THERE IS NOTHING THERE!
this is the first time this has happened to me.
Any Ideas?
UPDATE!! restored one more time and update went through. im pretty sure the servers were causing the issue last night.

just disable it.

im trying to keep it stock why would i want to disable it?

Try to go the settings and start the update again from there.

You kidding me? If this isn't the place for it then where would he post it? Certainly not in the development section.
Sometimes backups get corrupt man, that sucks.. you'll probably just have to start anew

How about the forum called "Nexus One Q&A"?
As fun as it is to "act-a-mod", you both need to stop.
ANYWAYS, OP: If at first you don't succeed, try try again. If it fails again, try flashing a different recovery.
Yeah, just try backing up again. It has happened to me before. Stuck backing up at .android_secure. So I just tried to backup again, then it worked.
if you all want a recovery on which you can trust, then switch to Amon_Ra's recovery (RA-nexus-v1.7.0.1)
i keep having a similar problem. my backups can be created just fine. but when i try to restore them they ALWAYS hang at a certain file, such as event_1626573434.txt or whatever it may happen to be. sometimes i can go to advanced nand and restore each portion individually, which sometimes works. so the backup itself works. i really dont know what the problem could be. using clockwork recovery.

I happen to have the same issue. Is pulling the battery the only way to get out of it?

Nope. I'm not sure what I pressed, but I think trackball + power button. And then the phone restarted. Didn't need to pull the battery.

Locked startup after flashing 2.3.4

Just flashed 2.3.4 via Odin and after reboot it asks for a password, can't get into recovery because password is needed for that aswel. So tried flashing back to JVH and after that's done it asking me for password again! So just flashed darkyys resurrection v9 and its fine now, but if I want gingerbread back its just asking for a password. Mega confused :/ lmao.
Edit. Found the solution! just enter any password multiple of times until it says wiping data!
You mean this??
It happened to my friend's phone, which is now resting peacefully on his Table. He tries to flash it 2 times a day hoping that he get through. There is no solution for this yet and it seems to be a rare issue. The only firmware that works for him is JPU
You must write any password several times. Then phone reboot into recovery.

Happened to me too. Just type a random password a few times. Phone will do a full-wipe, but you can use it after that.
Thankyou! I shall try this! And post back the result.

Can someone confirm this ?
still cool
This is 100% checked.
It happened to me as well. Entering the wrong password multiple times did the trick. Not sure why it happened in the,first place. If someone has any idea as to what causes this issue.

had everything to do with it..dont care if he just got it or not he was in a setup wizard boot loop like many people found them selfs in after rooting and removing something they shouldnt of only fix for that is to use kies like in that thread or get the stock image and odin it like the op did to fix it
Op. Did u try to root?
Someone probably rooted and messed it up...since 8t still got to the set up screen and appears to work he probably figures hed sell it to some sucker. Unfortunately this op probably bought it...amd there really wasnt much of a way for him to know it was messed with since setup still popped up
Just my theory...always make sure a device works when buying used...go through the setup, test all the main features. ..spend a good 10 minutes atleast with the phone before you actually give the guy money...and if your buying online like on ebay...good luck

GPS isn't working

Hi Folks,
My phone doesn't seem to lock my exact location on any of the mapping apps. I have tried downloading all possible GPS apps but nothing seemed to work. Is factory resetting my phone is the only solution? I have a Verizon version.
I have couple of questions:
1. I am rooted and I have TWRP installed. if I factory reset, am I going to lose both?
Your help is highly appreciated.

Factory reset wipes the data partition, not system. You won't lose root or TWRP.
The only app I use for GPS is FasterGPS
It might help with the speed. Hopefully you can get it working.
Hi scottdanpor,
Thanks much for quick reply. I am going to try the app you suggested, if that didn't work. I'll factory reset it.
Will post back if it solves my issue.

My mom's phone is having the same issue, but i have not had a chance to mess with it. Are you using a launcher other than Touchwiz or have tried plugging the phone into a computer and updating with Kies? Thouse are just some ideas I had off the to of my head. This might sound dumb but do you have enough free space for the update on your phone?
It will not update if your not fully stock, this means no custom recovery, ROM, root or removed\frozen apps.

when I plug into with kies it says I am up to date
I am having the same issue. I was going to do a factory reset, but it looks like that did not work for you. It also is making me wait 24 hours before I can try again. Guess it is off to the AT&T help line to spend hours on hold.

You can try to Kies Emergency Recovery / Reflash or a odin flash and do factory defaults on top of it.
Just remember this CLEARS EVERYTHING
So make sure you read the guides very carefully and backup everything.
Other people are having the same issue but they just disappear so I have no idea if this fixes it, so if it does please let us know.
Full reset is a PITA but it usually works.

Talking to friends today and seeing a couple posts I didn't realize that it's about a 1GB update. Make sure you have enough free space, I'd try freeing up a ton of space and see if that helps.

I was at 4.4.2 then 4..4.4 - Rooted and installed Safestrap. Now 5.0.1 update says interrupted as OP says.
Are you sure if I odin back to 4.4.2 - the update to 5.0.1 is possible? - I know its PITA - but atleast if somebody has done before
that motivates me to try .
thanks
