I don't really want to root yet. I'm waiting for the roms to get better and for some solid 2.2 action. In the mean time should I install the ota update? Will I ruin a good thing?

+1, want to know this too... also what is the OTA fixing? just the SD card issues? is this something that can be fixed w/o the OTA?
can some please tell me? i just wanna know if im better off waiting without the update.
Really? 180 views and nothing? Surely SOMEONE can tell us the answer to this question.
I read in some of the other threads not to.
Do. Nobody is replying because it is old news. Search forums.
People that did the update had fewer errors then the ones pre update.
Same as you I'm still waiting for a more solid 2.2, not yet rooted or update OTA. For me there is no urgent need to OTA since I've replace the Stock SD Card and haven't experience anymore problem (Evo is nice and smooth). I'm just gonna play it safe and hold off on OTA until I rooted my phone most likely with Toast method (THANK YOU VERY MUCH TOAST!!!).
the ota does more than just fix the sdcard issue, it reportedly locks down internet sharing/tethering as well and no idea what else. if you apply the update, you will need to sign up for sprint's $29 hotspot service or root your phone with unrevoked and install the wifi tether app...
other than that, enjoy the phone
I haven't applied the OTA yet and my Evo has been flawless so far. Normally I'm a rabid upgrader of anything and everything but I don't see any reason to do so now and there are some possible downsides.

A new OTA update was released yesterday. My phone is already rooted with the unrevoked method. I updated while I was drunk btw. But the OTA didn't mess with my wireless tethering...I'm still tethering away, freely!
just for my own education. once you update, can the simple unrEVOked method still be used?

Hey all,
Feel free to use this thread to discuss the recent V10m-OCT-14 Software Update for the G3. I have just received it on my International D855 Model.
Listed enhancements are:
- Apps
This update is 180MB if coming from the other latest update, v10l. You can download this update by going to your Update Center, Software Update. Or, your G3 might have already downloaded it OTA.
Personally, I find a bit more battery life, and more responsiveness coming from v10l, feel free to share your individual experiences with this update here!
Battery life is better than 10L, but it's only one day used. Will see how is in the next few days
Just installed it and rooted it with PD...works fine at the moment, downloading music from spotify and such, let's see how it behaves in a few days time. V10L still had the noises while charging...expecting 10m to have the same issue.
Any KDZ File?
Thank's

A few hours of usage 10M seems on par with 10L, same performance noting special. Guess we will have to see, the newer kernel build date suggests that some tweaks and updates are present and we are always grateful for tweaks

:good: Cool. I can't wait OTA.
@ Mr Bo
Thank's , flash in progress.
Does this update resolves the "Hissing and buzzing sound with headset/AUX" issue ?
Still don't see the M for my IMEI / Region (India) yet. Waiting !
Hissing noise is likely to be hardware so don't hold your breath for a software fix. They obviously didn't adequately shield headphone socket from the charging/battery.
Blimey, I only just got around to flashing v10L.
Is there a way to install the OTA update for someone who has TWRP recovery installed without getting stuck inn the recovery on reboot ? Fortunately, there is a fix to get out of the recovery but the OTA doesn't install when returning back to system.

I can cancel this issue with some tricks (USB or call trick). The G2 did have this issue with kk4.4.2 ant it was resolved with the 4.4.4. So i m still waiting an update or an aosp rom.

Tried this?
That's how I install L. Worked fine, just lost root (which TWRP fixed), DPI was changed back to stock (I fixed that) and it reinstalled a little bloatware (McAfee) which Titanium took care of.
That is, of course, if you can get the KDZ.
I can't see any serious difference after weeks of using ".i" version... always flashing with CSE option.
phone works great, very smooth, battery life for around 5-6h of screen awake
Finally Motorola released the OTA update for Moto g 3rd gen with 3 different improvements .The size of OTA is 177.4 Mb.
1.Stagefright Fix
2.Add Night Mode to Camera
3.Bug fixes and Stability Improvements

What issues are those? I've seen very few reports of those types of issues with the 3rd gen. Obviously, those things happens to a small portion of users on almost every Android phone.
screen on time is decent, but could be better. I'd love to find a permissive kernel I could tweak...anyone up for it??
Im still running the release version firmware. Had night mode since release so i wonder apart from stagefright what the UK release will bring?
Does anyone have this as a flashable zip yet?

my personal experience with an 8gb model was a hot skillet in just 3 minutes on wifi or lte network plus doing some search i found a lot of users reporting the same issue so its not a very small percent it is a known issue maybe some users dont report it or dont care about it but it really gets hot. maybe some batchs maybe the 8gb model who knows!
every phone have small issues some related to hardware some related to software thats why i asked if the upgrade fix this one
but a phone that turns in to a hot skillet its not safe to use.

This OTA does not load itself if you have a custom recovery. To avail of this OTA the phone should have the STOCK recovery.
Unlocked bootloader does not matter, but being on STOCK recovery is must for the update to recognize the fingerprint and load the OTA.
After changing the custom recovery to STOCK recovery, phone is stuck at blank screen after the OTA update. Trying to figure out what to do.
Any suggestions?

I am surprised to notice that after the update the system has vanished and the booting process stops on a blank screen (with screen lit dimly).
No worry. Here is the solution. Flash STOCK firmware....

Can some one capture the OTA and make a custom rom flashable file?
Currently my phone is bricked. Will update later.

Hi, thank you.
Which stock rom did you use from the link? There are two there for the xt1550. I guess the one with the 23.72-47_cid7(Newer Build) is the one?
If you could elaborate what you did it would help others.

US carriers seem to be much slower pushing out updates. Since they mostly use foreign support it makes little sense. I work for the same company as my carrier, but different division and word I have is they aren't pushing out the update for this phone because the phone isn't in their list of devices yet. BTW, I'd be curious if anyone actually knows someone that got the stagefright bug. You have as big a chance to get struck by lightning as you are in getting stagefright. Anything with Kit Kat or later makes it almost impossible for stagefright to replicate on their phone.

The Moto G 3rd gen is sold in the US fully unlocked with no carrier branding. So the carriers don't push out the updates. Motorola generally pushes their updates to India first but the US usually comes soon after.

Seems after the LS997ZV4 update was pulled off, they changed it to LS997ZV5 instead and just got it 12/26/16
++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
I've been waiting for the OTA update on my phone, I have been manually checking for updates too but nothing happens!
The release date says 12/5/16 and I usually can get updates by manually checking with other android devices, not this time though..

rooting isn't important for me as it was before lollipop, there's not much bloatware on the V20 and ads are being taken care of with adguard.

ls9997zv4 update no longer shown on sprint website
I saw that update listed on Sprint's site last week and was also frustrated not to get it. It must have had an error because it has been pulled. We are lucky not to received flawed firmware.
They probably pulled it to fix the exploit they have found for rooting the phone.

I just got updated to LS997ZV5 Dec 1 Security patches, fixed an issue with loud speaker and stuff I don't remember.
I got it on 12/24. I had to click "check for update" quite a few times for it to show up.
Same here. I hoped it would have fixed the speaker distortion problem. But it did nothing for me.

I read everything I could find about rooting this thing and read all the comments that the bootloader exploit was fix with the December patch.but nothing convinced me not to...Im a old Samsung guy, Note 2, 3 & 4 so rooting without having Odin to back me up was a tad daunting as well as having to remember how to use ADB....I took a chance and it worked......I got the sd corrupt error ( no biggie, I had backups) and battery drain is kinda high ( no sprint custom kernels yet) ....of course it not being a stock sprint rom things like wifi calling, sprint zone and voicemail are missing ( but Team Dev now hows a stock rooted sprint rom out, Ill try that in the am) everything is running just fine...installed all my apps, made a titanium backup and a twrp backup.....

Just got a notification tonight about downloading and updating my Sprint HTC 10 to 2.51.617.2.
Has anyone received this update yet? I'm unlocked with Magisk root and don't want to go thru the update if it's going to break Safetynet (again!).
I got the notification too, but I have not allowed it to go in so far.
The update is actually 2.51.651.2 and is July 2017 security update. I did it yesterday without issues.

It is only the security updates? It is 802MB! That is a lot of security! I doubt it would go in on mine anyway as I have too many system modifications.

And "Performance enhancements" too, whatever they may be, as it had no further details on them.
For me, it broke the fingerprint sensor. It now works to unlock the phone only within the first 5 minutes or so after turning it off. After that, I have to use the pattern. It's like the sensor gets disabled during low-power suspend, but turning the screen on doesn't wake it back up. This started immediately after I received the update.

I tried everything from Sprint's based release. Fingerprint sensor issues everytime. On Leedroid's latest release. It's not firmware related, it's software. Something Sprint put in is messing with fingerprint sensor from sleep.
