LG G2 Users Thread!

I don't know about BSR timer but a LTE scan timer setting would be nice to be able to change.

Yeah I'm hoping that once NV is complete I'll have more lte coverage.

Can you confirm if the ioroot v20 root method is working assuming your root your phone.

[KD8JBF]

If you are stock unrooted why is this a benefit?  Is it because you don't have to wait for the servers to prompt you so that you can finally download the Spark update?  I am more curious of finding a way to sideload the Spark update while maintain root access.

 

I have my phone rooted with ioroot. I went into superuser and temporarily "Unrooted" phone and it worked...then I went back in and unchecked to re-root.

 

EDIT: Never mind about un-checking....the update breaks root....Have to re-run root process.

What was everyones priorites set to after update? Mine were B26: 1  B41: 2  B25:  3

 

Interesting...

You could only have them as 1 or 0 before the update correct?

 

Also if that is true, shouldn't it be from highest band to lowest? That seems to make more sense to me...

Even after a restart B26 still isn't enabled. B41 was enabled manually prior to the Spark update.

I use supersu and can do full unroot on my phone. So I assume that you did a full unroot on your phone and then use twrp to sideload the ZVA update?

That is true, it was 1 or 0 before and I believe the lower the number the higher the priority.  So the most common band is 25 and lower since we'll all mostly be on that and it'll bypass the others since they aren't really meant to be the priority bands, they are the fall back bands. When we're our of band 25 and around any 26 or 41 the phone should switch over at it's first change and then probably hand out as long as possible, just like our 800 voice. At least, that is how I understand it and it makes sense to me why they would do it that way. 

[rgcrockett]

That's what I'm dying to know. That update had to do more than what we can do with an msl code. 

This is what I want to know.

Negative...I did a "Temp Un-Root" ran the update, but it broke my root status so I have to re-root...I sideloaded it using stock recovery as the uploaded zip file is unaltered and checks the current image. If there is anything off it will not run. So i basically have to be "Unrooted stock": to get it to go....so you are originally correct that this is really only for people that don't want to wait for the server. lol

 

I had TWRP installed but reverted for the OTA. I'm going to go back to TWRP now after I re-Root

I changed mine back to disabled before the update and they are like yours still disabled after the update and multiple restarts. Ugh

[Ascertion]

Can anyone tell if the radio is stronger now?  It's a totally new modem so hoping something was changed in there.

Enabled 26 and 41 and restarted and now the priorities show 25~1, 26~2, 41~3. Does not match what the other person on here showed.

 

Anyone have these same priorities?

Sideload is working! To install that update sideload you NEED TO BE STOCK UNROOTED!!

 

Dowload the zip file from link.

Place it in Cache/fota

boot into recovery and select install from cache

Select /fota

select the zip file.

Presto you have the new software

 

Here's the Direct link that was posted on XDA: https://db.tt/rehZF7n3

 

I downloaded the linked file and installed the update in TWRP.  Worked just fine.  Used same method as last update.  Disabled Xposed.  Flash update zip in TWRP, Flashed latest update SU.zip. Reboot and Spark update installed.  I do apparently need to reinstall TWRP recovery though.  All new versions check out.

The new update included a new recovery (it can probably be stripped out of that update zip) so that makes sense... You took care of ALL flashing from TWRP and until recovery was rebooted, the new stock one was not loaded. Question for you, what rom were you/are you on and care to provide the SU zip you used? 

 

Thanks for the update!

[duddys31]

Could anyone tell me how to take the steps to get the spark update cause i havent gotten it yet.

Me as well!

I would like to know also.

Stronger, no.  Configured differently via firmware, maybe.

[blakebaa]

Still awaiting the update here... I don't want to manually install it, mainly because I don't trust myself. Anyways, has anyone recieved the update over WiFi or 3G? It's seems as though everyone has been getting it over LTE, which I don't have here.

[The_Chemist]

You're 100% correct. There is nothing we can change as far as hardware.

[IamMrFamous07]

Have anyone receieved the update over the air yet?

Thanks for the update!

 

The superuser file I used was simply update supersu 1.91 available here: 

hxxp://download.chainfire.eu/381/SuperSU/UPDATE-SuperSU-v1.91.zip

 

I am on stock Rom LS980ZVA

 

The problem I am having now is that I cannot install TWRP as the Loki file does not work for this updated ROM.  When I did this with the old zv8 update it did not strip out my recovery.  As you said the zip file I flashed had the new stock recovery in it.  I am fully rooted but I cannot re-flash a custom recovery at this point. 

 

Anyone have any suggestions.  I could not do a DD adb push to make it work either.

[Terrell352]

Im going to take the plunge and update my phone then go to the sprint store and compare signal strength since that question seems to keep getting ignored. I got this!
