Hi,
I bought a LG G3 from Ebay which was blocked on AT&T for using it both in the USA and in Europe (I choose this model for its frequencies supported). It is a D850 model as you can expect.
After receiving it, I unlocked it to run different carriers. I rooted it as well.
I want to install the AT&T 5.0.1 update from OTA (I don't care about root right know). But I have one big problem. I keeps saying that my software is up to date which is wrong. Is it because I'm on T-Mobile right know and AT&T blocks the update ?!
I'm using build D85010d. right know and I never had a software update notification. I've tried to set my phone date to a couple days forward as suggested by Android Police. No luck.
I just want to have the update. After that if it says "you are rooted, you can't install", I will unroot it and reinstall.
Is there any way to update manually ? I heard it's impossible thanks to AT&T.
This is beginning to irritate me.
Thank you in advance

have you found any solutions to this? i'm using an unlocked att G3 as well (although not blocked) and I can't figure out how to update. i even tried to put someone's ATT sim in it and it still said it was up to date, which is completely false. god i hate att. can't update, can't use Qi charging, can't do anything.
I can't update my lg g3(d855) too. It's have the 4.4.2 kitkat and i want upgrade it to 5.0.1 lollipop.
Plzz help if u find a solution to this problem
Same issue .......how to update to lollipop manually ....................... if someone can help it will be appreciated :good:
I am having an issue with the AT&T Lollipop update, as well. I bought a D850 from eBay on KitKat 4.4.2, and when I inserted my AT&T MVNO SIM and checked for updates, it found the Lollipop update. It started downloading, but about 2/3 of the way through, the display shut off (I had it set for 15 minutes). When I got the display back, this action had stopped the download, and it did not continue. Now, when I check for updates, it just says I have the current version. I have run system resets, and tried a different AT&T SIM, but I can't get the Lollipop download again. Does the start of a FOTA download set a flag somewhere that prevents re-downloading?
Only thing I could think of is asking for a .kdz file for your phone and carrier and then flashing that using the LG Flash Tool
unable to update D850
I have the same issue. I have a D850 AT&T version and my is not showing any update available. I am in 4.4.2. Any solution how to update? Please help. Thanks to all
I'm another victim of this. Have someone found a solution? I'm desperated. And sad, I feel scammed.

Hi, I'm New in the XDA forum.
My name is Neeraj
And when I saw your post, I found me.
What ever you do please don't do custom rom update.i found that in a hard way.
Like you I too bought one from ebay, at&t logo but unlocked, and while trying to update says it's up to date.
Later I found out I need at&t SIM to update the phone. Because it's only network unlocked not the entire phone. It still got some sorts of at&t restrictions.
Any way I went and rooted, installed twrp, and cm13 6.0.1 then Walla my phone goes into reboot loop and when it finally opens up the network doesn't work.
By the I'm in Australia , temporary residence and I don't have at&t SIM.
So good luck and infact i'm hoping some one will guide me too
I fixed it, don't know exactly if it will work on others.
But what exactly I did was search Google download official stock rom for at&t LG G3 D 850 ( KitKat or lollipop), flash the rom and Walla got my IMEI number restored and it fixed my boot loop problem.
Then backed up by all data, IMEI, etc and then flashes back to custom CM marshmallow. Now all is well. ?
Hope it this will help some one aleast a newbie lie me

Last week, LG G3 notified me of software upgrade, I was running 10i at that time. So I went ahead and upgraded. I was expecting to get 10L but somehow it upgraded from 10i to 10J. So now I am running V10J-SEA-XX. I am not able to get OTA update as it shows that I am running the latest version which is not true. It shows last update on 24th Oct 2014. I am in India, phone was purchased from Dubai.
In hope to get 10L, I installed the LG Mobile Software Tool and to my pleasant surprise, it showed me an upgrade. I started the upgrade process, it download 1136.13MBytes of upgrade and started upgrading my phone. It failed in first attempt and it prompted me to remove battery, restart and press retry button which I did.
On Second attempt, everything went smooth, phone was rebooted in the firmware download mode, I could see 0-100% progress and the entire upgrade completed as expected.
However, when phone was restarted, I see that I am still on the same software, V10J-SEA-XX. It even shows last update on 24th Oct 2014 ( OTA date). I restarted LG Mobile Software Tool and it again shown the update available. When I choose to upgarde, it again downloaded the same 1136.13MBytes file. This time upgrade process completed in first time itself. Unfortunately, I am still on the same version.
Any help will be appreciated.

Well, I saw a few threads, not sure the one you suggested but that solution is possibly applicable if the device was not recognized. Here I could see the progress on both LG tool and mobile so both are communicating fine. Pls correct me if I am wrong.
Anyway, changed the port to COM41 and trying again.
Update: Repeated the entire procedure with COM41. This solution doesn't work. I am still on the same V10J-SEA-XX.

Bump...can anyone help?
Thanks
Same Problem
Hi there sorry I can't help but I have the same problem.
Live in the UK but purchased an SEA version. Didn't realise it would cause me such an issue.
Unfortunately, I don't want to root my phone as it will possibly disable my Barclays Bank Mobile Banking app which is pretty useful to me.
My only hope is that LG will upgrade the SEA version to L when it does all the other regions as well.

Make sure data is turned on and a Verizon Sim card in, and obviously you did a factory reset. If so, you shouldn't have an issue forcing the update.
24c and 25a update's should be available.

Actually I don't know any other way without having a Verizon Sim, or trying LGUP method, or kdz.

I did it. I have already flashed kdz and then later i got 25a update too... I even have a 25a kdz but i dont' use much faster internet to upload it, I got it via sua( verizon).
I wish to root my MM if you get any info, do share. Thanks.
After bricking my first tablet, I learned that the boot loader is locked and that the factory Rom is not available for this device (and a lot of AT&T devices). It was replaced luckily but now I face a different set of issues. The update to Marshmallow is available but I cannot update it no matter what I do. Obviously I am worried about tinkering too much because of the possibility of bricking it again. Yes it is rooted, and that's why it refuses to update.
Would it be wise to try to mask the root with an xposed module, since I can't seem to fully remove the root itself?
good luck getting any answers on this device. If been asking about downgrading from 6.0 so I can get root. No helpful information for the ATT variant.
I can't find any updated when I try for this device. How did you go about getting a replacement ?
I would be fine with a rom image to install and a root. But I want my 6.0 that I am deserving
You can't retain root if you're going from Android 5x to android 6x because of the changes to ART. Maybe one day some crafty dev will figure out how to root an AT&T 6x device with a locked bootloader but unfortunately that day isn't today.
If you are looking to root and customize your device then stay off of att.

I have an LG Gpad X 10.1 v930 (AT&T) which I am unable to update to Marshmallow via OTA Update. I haven't rooted my device, yet I am not able to receive the update via OTA. Is there any other way I can update to Marshmallow? I tried to use LG Bridge but it keep giving me message "Cannot check software version".
I just recently got the v930 from AT&T, and I've tried Kingroot, but it did not work. It came with MM already installed, and I can't find very much information on this tablet. So If you want root, then it's probably best not to upgrade.

My tablet originally had an ATT sim card so I borrowed an ATT sim card, checked again for update through settings. Connected to the ATT server and got the update.

Put in an ATT sim card so you can connect to their server for the update.
I've got a friend who purchased an unlocked Note4 with ATT branding and software. She uses it on Tmobile. I noticed recently while googling that it looks like currently note4 on ATT is on marshmallow. However, when i try updating the phone it says its already up to date. The phone is currently on 5.1.1. Not sure why it's not updating. Could it be because it's on Tmobile as the carrier since its an ATT branded phone? How would I go about updating it?

I was in the same situation, and discovered an XDA thread that allowed me how to update my note4.
It's as simple as downloading the official at&t updates onto your sdcard and apply onto your phone.
It's a long thread, but well worth the read:

I really appreciate the hint. i just recently got a new note4 (obvioulsy im not in the U.S) and cant get updates like you. Im very new to samsung (mod,flashed the shaiza out of my m8 and nexus 7, but this is new territory)
when i saw the link you shared it has the following
EPH5 to EPH7.
DOI9-to-EPH5
DOI7 to EPH5
DOI6-to-EPH5
i dont see DOI2.
can you please help me out with a few more hints as to what you did to get the latest update available... (i know about placing the files on sd and bootlader, select update etc)
but do i have to manually install every update to reach the last one?

I guess you didn't make it to page 161
Start with page 161, then go back to the 1st page of the thread and download all updates/patches.

I performed every step one-at-a-time.
Another option is to utilize ODIN (software) to jump steps, but it requires windows.
I don't do windows
Remove the back cover (so the phone doesn't overheat), and take your time...it will take a while

Another way to update AT&T devices on that aren't on AT&T is to get an AT&T SIM (99ยข on the AT&T GoPhone site), activate it on GoPhone but don't add any funds. The unfunded SIM won't let you make calls, send texts or use AT&T data but it will let you get OTA updates on WiFi.
Hi guys. I got a G8 from a friend whose friend's dad is a radio tower engineer for AT&T that got this phone early. It's a prerelease phone (says "not for sale") on the back, and it comes with software that is seemingly far behind what shipped with the public version of the device. It's Android 9 with the December 2018 security patch, SW version G820UM04b. This version is pretty buggy and doesn't have some features like air motion. It seems like the initial software release for the public phone was G820UM10g.
Whenever I try updating the device, it just says the software is already up to date. I've done more factory resets and tried more tricks than I can even recount. Got a fresh new SIM card. Called AT&T and got them to manually push the update to my IMEI (which is correctly registered), waited a day for the update. Tried LG Bridge but it's incompatible with AT&T devices. Looked for kdz files online for the AT&T version that I can flash using LGUP, but there's no AT&T files available (pls tell me if anyone knows of any out there).
I'm at my wit's end guys. Anyone have any ideas as to how I can get this phone updated? I'm realizing that I really took the ability to just unlock and flash my old OnePlus for granted
Where do you live ?
Mobile AT&T only support to update OTA if you live in US !

Sorry, forgot to clarify that. I live in the USA and I use AT&T.
On the face of it it's not looking good. There aren't any KDZs for ATT as standard, and you can't update OTA - one thing to check here is the S/N field, pre-production LG phones are usually missing this, which is usually why OTAs don't work.
However, pre-production devices can, sometimes, be cross-flashed. You could try using LGUP to flash a more recent US unlocked build. It is likely to give you the IMPL lock / mismatch / crossflashing not allowed error, but it's worth a shot.
If that doesn't work, your best bet will be to ask your friend's dad to take it in to work (when he can...) for whoever looks after devices for his team to flash it to production as a favour.
