Some are not seeing it available to download yet. I just tried and see it but 1st attempt it was corrupted, LOL.
2nd was successful and it is currently verifying package

It just keeps getting corrupt, good'ol sprint for ya!

Currently tried downloading it 30 times via network corrupt each time
Tried via wifi and it does not see a update
wish they would allow it other than OTA

Will it break root?
And i'm guessing it will remove any dialer modifications flashed such as no haptic feedback

can't the damn thing to download with out being corrupt. So only time will tell.
If and finally when I get it installed I will let you know about the root question.

man i hope this fixes my bluetooth pairing issues with 2.1...
hopefully if it breaks root someone can strip on that part and just post the rest of it like the one time before.

I've grown very skeptical toward any "update" from Sprint/HTC/SenseUI.
I've given up on the SenseUI platform and believe that the Hero is simply just too underpowered to run Sense effectively. I hated all the lagging and long pauses.
Now, however, running CM6 with the 9/7 nightly and Darc's #14 kernel and I couldn't be happier. My phone zips along quite nicely.
The ONLY thing I miss about SenseUI is the browser. Anybody know of a decent replacement that can do pinch/zoom as well?

I think I might know why your downloads are classified as corrupt.
If you used this root method http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=694572 towards the bottom there is a section called
"DISABLE OTA UPDATES!!!!"

After doing this, the OTA updates WILL still download, BUT they will not pass signature checks to flash because of the code you just entered.

Dolphin HD is an excellent browser that can do pinch zoom, not to mention it can run themes and add-ons.

I've found that xscope is much better than both it seems less clunky

i bought a used hero from craigslist on Sunday and it had android 1.5 so I hit htc.com and downloaded this update then and flashed it over. I guess there is no root for this version then. I have an evo rooted to 2.2, the hero is for my kid with hopes of using 2.0.5 pre7 wifi router for him to link his laptop to. Haven't turned phone on for sprint yet working way to much. (called sprint before i paid for it esn is clean)

It says....
Update your software
To update your Hero over the air:
Go to All Applications
Tap Settings > About Phone > System Updates > HTC Software Update
Select Check Now
Follow the on-screen instructions to download and install the update

Sprint said the Following....
You may not yet have the update for a couple of reasons:
- The software update may not yet be loaded to the servers
- The software update may be released in batches or stages where not all phones will receive it at the same time.
If you are not seeing the update, please be patient and it should be available soon.

Not able to see the update. It says my phone is upto date (even it is not). I understand the updates might not be there for me yet.
I have rooted my phone and removed some sprint bloatware and htc bloatware.
I have not put any custom rom in my phone yet.
I am a little bit nervous to update my phone. Cause I dont know what the update is all about.

The update is making its way through...I've been checking for it for the last two days...however today 9/24....I checked for the update and this morning at 6:15am the update was available.
The update fixes:
Slow response Phone Dialer
GPS Reboot (<-- I have never experienced this problem)
After the download of the update is complete the installation takes about 5-8 minutes or so...once the phone reboots and after you've agreed to install the update...the phone hangs for a bit on the Sprint Now splash screen....I was a little worried at first but I just let it sit....the phone will continue to boot after 2-3 minutes then you will see the HTC white splash screen for another minute or two and finally it will indicate the update was successfully updated.
I was aware of the slow response with the phone dialer and after the update you notice a difference...however I never had a GPS Reboot issue..but still happy they fixed what ever issue they found.
This may just be me...but after the update my phone seems a bit more responsive over all. But again...this could be just me.

Totally agree, finally pulled the CM6 trigger this week as my phone was at risk of being flung on several occasions. Can't believe I ever waited around for Sprint to fix anything, CM flies (but does not get flung!)

I'm still debating about CM6...I brought my HTC hero back in March-April due to my old phone dying....unfortunately the HTC EVO was still about 2-3 months away so I really had no choice...it was either the Hero or the Moment...I chose the Hero since it was a better phone in my opinion.
I am however upset that Sprint has given up on this phone so quickly...I'm still a little hesitant of rooting my phone and voiding my warranty. I've started to read up on rooting and CM6 a little bit as I am a bit curious of CM6.
Am I right to say that if I don't like CM6 I can revert back to stock rom and Sprint will not being able to tell...just in case I have to take my phone back at any point in time?
Also I've heard of Unrevoked and the fact that you can root you phone by just using this app....I've seen some threads that look extensive at how to root your phone...so if this "one-click" app works...can this be applied to the overall process of getting CM6 installed?
While I don't mind using Sprint Navigation or UI Sense....that is really the only apps I would like to be able to use....all other sprint apps..such as Sprint Football and Nascar I don't care about....If I get CM6 installed can Sprint Navigation be reinstalled?
Now that sprint pushed out a new update out there...will procedures have to change to install CM6 or rooting due to this new update??
I guess just a few questions..like I said..I'm curious about CM6 but have yet to decide if I really want to get CM6 installed...any feedback would be great.
Thanks!!!

I down loaded the update but it won't install, my phone is rooted with the one click app so that might be why it won't install

[Q] disabling the ota update to froyo

Hi,
I travel a lot and do not want to do this froyo update on my vibrant for 2-3 months. T-mobile's answer is to "keep hitting postpone every day". It appears there is no way to actually disable the update other than to keep postponing it. I rooted my phone to see if I could stop the ota update.
I found a few things:
1) /system/etc/cacert.txt has t-mobile as a global CA. removing this breaks lots of the stock apps. Does this mean t-mobile is doing man-in-the-middle on all ssl connections? If so, horrid. However, it doesn't stop the ota update.
2) I see a blue and red double arrow in my notification bar stating the update is pending, but nothing in "ps" output that indicates a running application for it.
3) pulling the tmobile sim card and either leaving it out or putting in another sim card (from say etisalat) doesn't stop the update notification. This could mean the update is already on my phone, i just have to find it and delete it.
Thoughts?

The update you are getting notification for is not froyo. Also, there is a 50/50 chance that it will semi brick your phone. Good part is the update will unlock your hardware for download mode and recovery mode.
Sent from my SGH-T959 using XDA App

it seems a double-restart with sim removed means the "DM service" doesn't start, so I don't get the update notifications anymore.

Why wouldn't you want the update? You are doing yourself a disservice.

The main reason is I'm traveling for the next 2-3 months, and cannot afford to have the phone broken.
I'd like to wait to see what others experience, and possibly wait for a changelog to appear so I can see what's changed between versions.

There have been many threads about the experience and the changelog has been posted. Most of the changes are very positive including reducing the lag on the device and fixing the GPS.
Just search around a little bit and you will find everything you need. If you still have questions, let me know.

There is no MIM on SSL connections. That is the certificate that the stock apps are signed with.

Hi,
My best guess, and I suggested this in another thread about disabling the update, is to go into /system/app and rename wssyncmldm.apk and wssyncmlnps.apk both to .bak, then reboot into recovery, wipe cache, dalvik cache, fix permissions, and reboot.
hope it helps, cheers, =)

I found out 2 things:
1) /system/etc/security/otacerts.zip will disable the update, because the ssl cert check fails.
2) DO NOT rename /system/etc/security/cacerts.bks (the cert keystore) or the system won't boot. I apparently pushed a bad cert keystore to the device and well, soft-bricked it. Everything just goes bad from there.
Everything was so simple with the nexus one. I lost my nexus one when it fell out of my pocket on the escalators at Victoria Peak in Hong Kong. Let me tell you, the nexus one won't survive a 5 story fall onto marble floors.

I was running bionix1.7 when the update came out and never saw a notification for it. Just run a custom rom and it'll probably sidesteap the update and improve the overall quality of your phone.

I ended up following http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=798125 and doing the update myself and keeping root. I uninstalled all the crap tmobile and samsung install to stalk and lie to me. This phone is the new Dell computer, loaded with crap and no clean OS to install for yourself.

T-Mobile system update --> D85110r

My phone just got a system update of 261mb, and it looks like the software version updated from D85110m to D85110r.
Does anyone know what this update includes? Thanks!

Not helpful, but I still haven't gotten the update. Even connected my phone to the LG PC Suite hoping to get it. Apparently TMobile just likes you more

It adds one new feature of...
- T-Mobile Free Inflight Texting support
Has the following fixes/enhancements....
- Bluetooth connectivity improvements
- Wi-Fi connectivity improvements
- UI improvements for T-Mobile Free Inflight Texting suport
You are lucky you got the update. I been trying for it all day. I even tried to manually update it with the LG Update Tool and it still says my software is up to date, but it is D85110m. I really want D85110r because I am taking a flight Thursday morning and really want to try it out.

Do not install...it also contains security updates that block primetether...

You can usually force the update notification by clearing data and force stopping google services framework. Youll probably have to do it a few times or more but it has always worked in the past. Im skipping this update as it also blocks purple drake root.

Updating a rooted phone?
So I rooted my phone the day I got it. And I really want to try this update because of all the wifi issues I have been having.
Will I need to unroot my phone to do any updates? If not, then will updating unroot my phone? If it won't then awesome, I will find a way to apply it since the update isn't available in the update tool yet (but it is from http://lg-firmware-rom.com).
Thanks!

Stay away from D85110R... Patched the vulnerability for stump root app...

You might have to do it A LOT.. May even have to reboot too. On my G2 it took forever to get it to work. After you clear data in gs framework are you going back to update center and making it recheck update?? You need to.. There should be a date ending in 1969 as the last update check after clearing data

It never shows that date just the most recent time. I've tried that a lot... 30 minutes of doing the clear cache/data then force stop then clear the cache/data in the update center as well. along with reboots. I may try doing a factory reset.
I am not sure if it matters but I have net10 for service and also the phone is encrypted.

I know this is a n00b question but, I haven't messed with radios since way back on my HTC TP.
I'm currently running Bliss KK.
Can I flash the radio by itself?
Also
Will I see any improvements in signal, speed, or anything else?

Yes, the radio can be flashed by itself in recovery, All 3 the biggest improvement I've seen is signal strength. With the last couple radio's I was seeing a lot of random signal drops service would cut out then cut back in for a split second this happened several times a day.

Do you have a D851 model too? I notice the D855 model in your sig, but this update was for the D851 model I thought.

Because of this thread went looking to see if there was any updates for my G3, of curse the phone said Up to Date, connected it to my PC and loaded the LG PC Suite, and had it search for an update and kept getting this message:
Cannot proceed upgrade
Mobile device software upgrade is blocked on no upgrade policy
Completely stock and unrooted G3, latest version of PC Suite, kid if a weird error

I read something on this. It was either a comment to a post about this update or in an article, but it had something to do with the LG/Tmobile and the update not being available on it. My software update tool gives that I am up to date..

USA AT&T User with some questions for pros...

love everything about this phone, but before making the plunge I had a few questions.
1. I'm looking to get the L29 version. This is correct?
2. What is the notification issue I keep reading about? I read the forums but it doesn't seem concise. No notifications come up? some? does this effect one model over the other?
3. Is the audio jack volume high? on the Nexus 6p it's abysmally low.
4. Does this phone support MHL/HDMI out? i know there's Miracast and screen mirroring, but looking to use a cable if possible.
Thanks for your answers, really want this phone.

1 -Ideally, yes. Though either will work.
2 - Permissions and the "battery firewall" are messing with people. The device works much harder to keep the battery usage down than any device before it, so getting used to that takes a while, and people think it has "notifications issues" (Though I think there is one legit "issue" with whatsapp, but I dont use it)
3 - Has been by far good enough for me.
4 - Dont know, havent tried.

So do notifications not pop up? I read also about apps basically closing while in the background.

The way I understand it, one of the settings under the performance settings causes all background apps to close when the screen shuts off. You can fix this by whitelisting each app that you want to remain open. Like you, I have read other vague accounts in the forums and reviews about apps not staying in memory, but I don't know if they're talking about that or something similar to what the GS6 and Note 5 do with RAM management. I sincerely hope it's not the latter, as that's the whole reason I got rid of my Note 5.
As long as I can turn some of this off and make the phone behave more or less "normal", I'll be happy. My L29 arrives tomorrow.

As i said before in other Threads : NO NOTIFICATION ISSUES FOR ME SINCE B162 Update. (And yes i have whatsapp)

Is this a standard ota update? For which model if yes?

I flashed update from Thread here in XDA. L-29 3Gb.
Im not sure when it goes well... but i think it was B152.... B103 was annoying and there was defently a issue... but since B152... i think it works great.

I'm using L29 in Seattle with AT&T. I have no notification issues at all. My only issue is my Microsoft Band 2 doesn't always work. The audio jack volume seems perfectly normal to me when I last used it.

So, I received my L29 yesterday and set it up and played with it all day. I tested notifications and everything else I could think of. I have had no issues at all so far. The firmware I'm on is 103 and there are no updates when I check. Everything seems to be working as it should.
Reading the forums on here for several days before, I was expecting a hot mess. I actually kind of like Huawei's UI. It's different. I'm not even going to put Nova Launcher on this time.
I'm in Texas on AT&T LTE.

glad to see ure so happy with the setup

Just to add to the good review for AT&T. I have dual AT&T sims in this bad boy and enjoying it. Honetsly, the software has the best dual sim manager I have seen. Getting solid speeds. Getting used t EMUI is interesting.
Anyone know how to update to B156 from B103 on the L29? My OTA doesnt exsist.

yet. if ure still completely stock u should receive OTA updates at some point in the near future

I am stock. Waiting those 14 days to unlock the bootloader. Need coffee money!

Just want to give an update on my experience since receiving the phone..
First day was good, but I'm now seeing the notification issue. I have an L29 on B103. It seems to be mostly the email client I use (TypeMail or Blue Mail), but I tried stock Gmail and had the same issue. When the screen is off, I no longer get instant notifications. It seems like there's about a 5-6 minute delay before they come in, like the internet connection goes to sleep.
Yes I have turned off all battery optimizations for the apps and whitelisted them. I also set all of the notification options to "on". I have heard that rooting and disabling "phone manager" fixes this, but I'm not quite ready to take that plunge yet. There are no updates available for my device.

Thanks. Do you know what this update is supposed to fix/improve?
Edit: Scratch that, I see the update notes, but it seems the file you linked won't work. It's 1.4GB and says it's not compatible. I'm trying to do the incremental update to 153 now, but all of the links for the smaller update are broken for 160 on that thread.

All i know is that I downloaded one of the links he listed under the b160 and it had the update.app in it after you unzip... it is critical that you unzip and have the files inside the zip in the dload folder on your internal memory otherwise it won't work... I will try to post some pictures and maybe re-zip what i have and create a download link... when i get home from work

Go to the dialer settings and enable Real Time Text.. it allows you to message during a phone conversation.

Does the bootloader change at all?

Forget that update. Here's Oreo!

Since this update, I get no cell reception. It's fine when it first boots, then 4g flashes on and nearly instantly it drops to disconnected.
I've tried safe mode, thinking it was that. Nope.
Uninstalled digits. Nope.
Signed in via multi-line settings. Nope.
Watch (Zte ZW10) connected or not makes no difference.
Anyone else? Any ideas short of hard reset?

If it was a simpler process and wasn't risking tripping anything then yeah its good to try but lets not forget this version was never meant to be in the hands of consumers. Be wise stay official till the official OTA comes out! And since were on a new baseband whats to say you can even force the update now?

Yes, the same issue here. Can't get any data when off of Wi-Fi. It's connected but slower then molasses.

Yes, every key press is in real time into a chat window. It automatically opens if you initiate a rtt call.

But, is this update rootable?

Anyone else's dialer app not working. Keeps force closing will try to factory reset

I was able to get my reception back by clearing the cache partition (!!) and disabling wifi calling (the latter may not have been relevant, in fact -- I can enable it now, though).

Nooooo I updated to this version. Can I still root?
Looks like you can't. I tried it and you get stuck in a bootloop.
