Please search the forum next time. Add of right now there is no T-Mobile root. Some devs are working on a universal for for all of the G3's and there is no ETA for it yet. There is a time l rumor about possibly getting root if and when TWRP comes out but nothing's confirmed yet.

I tired that but for some reason it doesn't see my phone and the update tool says I'm up to date. I wish I knew what the message means.

Ugh, I'm having the same problem on T-Mobile in the U.S. I can't get the phone to connect to PC Suite and I've tried registering the phone on the LG website, to no avail. SUCKS! Is it possible to flash in the update right now? I want the update! Blah...

I think you can use the lgflashtool. But I haven't tried it.

I can't see where the OTA file is, so that I can flash it with LG Flash Tools. I'm also kind of worried because some people have been having problems. It's not nearly as easy as flashing a Samsung phone, for sure.
Does anyone know if ATT would let me borrow a sim to try to update it? I only have a T-Mobile sim card....:/

Porting would be a ton of work and likely lots of bugs. By the time it's usable official 4.4.2 would likely be out.
March 3, that's the date someone on Sprint Community forums posted. But don't know myself for sure. Last time they said that it actually happened so it maybe real.

Hopefully that's true, because it gives time for devs to find a root/boot unlock method by the time it drops. That way can just OTA and be good to go...hopefully.

You don't need sim for update, I have a second G2 from Sprint, disconnected from account it still got ZVA update.

ZVA is still 4.2.2. He's talking about 4.4.2. But what you say is true, OTA update is available over wifi!

Sorry to say you should have gotten the Verizon one if you wanted gsm compatability in US as well, I hear there are problems using the LS980 on other US carriers. Besides Verizon version also has wireless charging, only downside is small buttons and that hideous Verizon emblem lol.
No i prefer this one. Im using it on tmo and the problems are no big deal. I got it for 140 and i can still use it with sprint if i want...

Nope, not on LG update site for LS980 nor the Sprint updates site, both still show ZVA.

Whenever Sprint gets it... it will be at least 4.2 years before I do bc I have verizon and verizon won't release kitkat until google agrees to change the name from KitKat to Android AT&T, T-Mobile and Sprint Can Suck It. And my update has to make my device apply no less than 47 more verizon logos to itself.

Lol, don't worry I believe Verizon's last update was a prep for Kikat, so it should be out soon.

That's what I heard when we got that 12b update but that was like 9 years ago. I just like poking fun at my carrier. They're ridiculous.

[Q] development !?

The phone has been couple of months on international market and still no one found a way to unlock the bootloader.
How come ?

Probably because the US variants just released within the last 2 weeks
Coming up with an unlock method isn't always easy, anyone who's coming up with a solution is doing it on they're own time

G2 Band Question

I am needing a phone that will support all bands in the UK and for ATT in the US.
Will any version of the LG G2(not g3) have the capabilities of what I am needing?
If so, is there any software tweeks that are needed?
Thank you for your time,
Dustin

Wrong forum . g3 forum here.
And they all work in the U.S. and uk but not at full speed lte and 4g if data works at all.
You would need one of each g2 euro or U.S. version

So if I am wanting full speed and data it looks like its the D802 or nothing? No software tricks, its lack of hardware?

Go to G2 forum and ask!
Wasn't it illegal for companies to have a locked bootloader? Or was it about rooting?
And why are they doing it, we pay for the phones and own it, we have the right to do whatever with it.
Yes, you do. They cannot imprison you for it, except maybe Qualcomm for the Kindle Fire HD, maybe.
So, go ahead and unlock your boot loader without fear. If you can. They don't have to make it easy for you.

[Q] Flash Verizon to Att

Hey everyone it has been years since I have rooted, but I want some help and info. I Just switched back to att and I have a Verizon LG g3 in the drawer. I want to know if I should just use as is or try to, if even possible, flash ATT firmware on it or international firmware on it? If att firmware can be put on it, will it get att software updates?
Simple answer to all questions is no. If we could , it would be all over XDA g3 forum
