So guys i got my htc one m9 yesterday. its T mobile variant. But i guess its unlocked. I am using it here in India. The problem was that it was still on android 5.0. so today i tried to update it to marshmallow through RUU.exe since it wasnt showing OTA update. Just after one min of the setup, it failed, and the phone is now stuck here. Please tell how do i get it back. Thanks. ( i am not being able to upload the snap of the screen)

I got myself a wildfire s a short while ago, so I could teather my galaxy tab 10.1 (my S2 was stolen). It seemed a good idea at the time, to get a cheap, small Android phone, for this purpose and just making phonecalls.
I knew the phone had limited storage, but at the time wasn't really an issue.
I unboxed it, started it up, put my sim card in, and away I went. ( I bought it sim - free brand new from carphone warehouse )
once set up, it informed me there was an ota update, which went fine, no problem. I continued to set the phone up with my favorite softwares, and everything was great.
This is where the problem started.
A few weeks later, It told me there was new update, so update i _TRIED_ . And failed. It told me that the firmware on the phone was not HTC, and would not be updated.
Not a problem, I dont care, i thought. It does all i need to do, and I didnt really want to do a full reset on it, so I didnt bother for a couple of months, it was fine.
Eventually, I started to find the tiny storage quite irritating, so got myself a class 10 8GB SD card, and looked into using somthing like Data2SD.
No problem, Iv rooted a few phones, so did the required reading into getting root and s-off. Easy ( I thought ).
I took myself off the htc dev, to download the unlocked bootloader today, and attempted to install. UH-OH.. Error 190 .. Wrong firmware version.
I decided now was as good a time as any to hard reset, as it would happen anyway, and retry the ota update..... FAIL!
I contacted HTC, and they said I would have to send off for repair ( I guess I could, its stock, unmodded in any way yet ) but that would mean I would be without my phone.
then I tried this : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1445867&page=1
didnt work. I need the new 2.33.401.3 software, but im stuck on 1.33.401.3 (Android 2.3.3)
Is there a way to root and s-off the older firmware as HTC DEV now require you to have the newer firmware to unlock the bootloader, or atleast manually flash the newer firmware??
Plz help me, before i chuck my phone in the sink!
Thanks,
Dave
Get the RUU of 2.13.401.whatever from somewhere (You'll find it in the 'Shipped marvel rom collection' at the top of the dev section) and run that first before you you run the unlockable bootloader one and tell us what happens
This worked perfectly. Thankyou. I downloaded the HTC EU rom, for 2.13.401.3, Flashed it in, and the rest worked.
Thanks again,
Dave
Hi, digitalwarfare
you flashed this
RUU_Marvel_S_HTC_Europe_2.13.401.3_Radio_47.23c.35.3037_7.54.39.28M_release_236989_signed.exe
or this
Marvel_S_HTC_Europe_2.13.401.3_Radio_47.23c.35.3037_7.54.39.28M_release_236989_signed_ROM.zip
What are the differences, please?
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.
I read on the thread somewhere exactly same issue as yours and someone suggested that u should change your port to 41...

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.

I am fine with rooting if that solves an issue. Any lead?
I just received an OTA update but it only updated to v10K, strangely no v10L yet.

Someone asked lg uae this question and what they have said is that the v10j or which ever one youve got for the region of ur phone is the same as the other regions' v10L or v10n and it isnt more advanced than ur version of v10...
(I cant post links because i am a new user)
Evidence is on the LG UAE twitter @lggulf approx 25 postd down
I live in uae and my g3 updated to 10k today
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
Hi everyone, i am using Sprint G2 (Refurbished, without root) in Pakistan, when i bought this phone and booted first time, after a few hours my device notified me for software update, i accept to download it and after downloading installed successfully, my software has changed into ls980ZVE, that updates was approx 650 Mbs, but that was modifying updates for Kitkat, so it means my phone can get OTA updates by their developers, but i feel really unlucky when i saw my friends Sprint G2 updated with 5.0.2 lollipop ? i asked him that is this device rooted and installed custom Rom? He denied and said i got OTA lollipop update for lollipop and installed.. now i am so worried why my device doesn't get lollipop yet?? Same phone, same carrier unlocked, same models.. so what is the matter with me??? ?
Kindly help me to resolve this issue.. thanks in advance ?
