Some instructions for the folks without root and on stock recovery. You'll need to use Windows.

 

This assumes you have the Lg drivers installed and have adb working.

• Download the update file on your pc...thanks to TumTum101 at XDA: http://d-h.st/kF4
• Copy the file to the folder where adb is.
• Get into recovery by holding down power and volume down button.
• In recovery, choose the option on the phone that says apply update from adb.
• After that open up a command prompt in your folder where you have adb. Type in the following without quotes "adb sideload LS980ZV8_13-LS980ZVA_01_update.zip"

The file will be copied to the phone, then it will proceed with the update. I don't recall if the phone restarted on its own after that...if not select reboot to system and you should be good to go.

I lost my update notification and can't get it back. Is this file safe to use?

Once you have the update, your phone should stay nice and clean on B41.

My fingers are crossed. It hurts going from over 50Mbps on band 41 to 3Mbps on band 25. Just hope it's not designed to only fallback on 41.

I assume you're on the G2. Have you received the Spark update, yet?

Yes, on G2 but haven't taken the Spark update yet.

Long time lurker. I luckily live in a fantastic LTE (even Wimax) area in East Harlem. Have perfect band 41 and can pull 50+Mbps.

Problem started once they flipped band 25 on a few weeks ago and I can't seem to hang onto the band 41 connection. At best I can stay connect for a few minutes before it falls back to band 25. I've tried every different priority mode in LTE engineering settings but to no avail. Is this likely a phone software problem or a tower issue? Any thoughts?
