I did it via kies, worked after finally getting kies working which required toggling the usb data connection mode between camera and media. (Kies was just spinning saying "loading...")

Yeah I got mine Thursday morning, it prompted me to do it when I woke up about 8am I clicked ok it took about 20mins :good:

yeah I'd advise to do it via Kies mate (if you can get the bloody software to detect your phone properly - it's still buggy after all these years).
The file is absolutely huge so better to do it via kies and get some charge in at the same time.

Did it via kies, I think it made the phone cooler but prevents the motochopper root.

My interenet connection is only 5mb roughly and the file over kies is 8gb so would take forever
How come some people can get it other not ota

that might have been an earlier patch or something? Either that or maybe when you download it on kies it downloads the WHOLE firmware, as opposed just whats needed to update. Are you now running I9505XXUAMDM?

Black lines on screen (warranty?)

Hi, I have a big problem, after flashing a new ROM these lines appears on screen, I tried to change ROM but it's the same, if I take a screenshot there is no line, it's surely a hardware problem :'( does anyone have the same problem? And if I restore my phone will lg accept it in warranty? I hope someone can help me, sorry for the poor English. Thank you.

Flash stock rom via download mode, and then check.

I'm doing it... Black lines are even in the download mode interface

After flashing stock rom, do a factory reset, I guess that will remove all the traces of root from the phone

I just had this happen to me, could you tell me what ended up happening? Where you able to get a replacement? Thanks.

I brought the phone where I bought it and they replaced the screen for free thanks to the warranty.

Thats awesome, I unrooted and went back to stock, took it in and I am getting a replacement tomorrow. The first thing the tech did was go to settings to see if I was rooted

which your did you flash?

I was rebooting onto recovery and the same happened to me, each day i'm more disappointed with this phone!

This problem can be fixed by removing the battery for some minutes, but with our G2 it is not so easy, so the warranty is the best way...

what about draining the battery to 0?

I had the same problems sometimes with my lg p880. Removing the battery fix the problems 100%. So I think it could be the same here, but it is so sad lg don't make the battery removeable...

[Q] AT&T KitKat Camera - Weird pixeling

I have a stock G2 and did the update to KitKat yesterday morning.. I played around with the camera and can take pics of inanimate objects fine.. However, when taking photos of people, animals, etc; I get this weird pixeling or over processing by the camera app.. This is in Normal mode with all stock settings - no flash. If I turn the flash on, the pic seems normal.
I understand the update was just released - just curious if anyone else can confirm this problem on their device.

I tried just clearing camera app data - didn't really seem to help. Could you post a pic?

i took a few test pics and only one came out like that , the rest came out fine, i have no idea if it was the camera or just because that perticular person was ugly

What i did is a full factory reset before updating to kitkat and factory reset again after updating

I did a full backup, will perform the factory reset shortly. Will report back if this helped me.

So doing a factory reset didn't help. It looks like its something with the Auto White Balance - If I put it in Incandescent mode manually, the pictures don't pixelate/over process.

How to Undo root and accept latest updates

I just got a phone back I rooted for a family member two years ago solely for the purpose of obtaining hotspot. It has stock rom.
What info can I give you that will enable you to point me in the right direction to uproot and sell without issue?
I've been away from this kind of of stuff for a couple of years.

Thanks for the tip, just now getting around to it.
Are you saying to go to the firmware section and download the latest firmware?
Isn't there something I have to check , like making sure the PDA matches my baseband version or something?

No, because this will change your Baseband as well.
