It's here folks, Lollipop for Verizon's iteration of the LG G Pad 8.3, the VK810 (code name "Altev"). You can start downloading and installing via Settings - System Updates - Check for Updates. I don't have the time to update today, but please tell me how it comes out for you.
Modders, rooters, and ROMans (ROMers?) out there, I'd love to hear if you keep root with OTA Survival Mode or Chuck Norris mode enabled in your super user app (SuperSU, SuperUser, etc...) or if you can find the file ( @roirraW "edor" ehT you seem to be the king of KDZs for our device) to flash via TWRP.
Thumbs up if this post was helpful and don't forget to vote on that poll.
***Reserved for bug reports, issues, and fixes***
I will try to keep this up to date as they come in.
I used the kdz in normal mode and lost root.
I was waiting for someone else to make a centralized thread for issues, so I wouldn't have to maintain it. ?
Under 35A_08, I can't seem to expand notifications in the pulled down notification shade. You can expand them at least on an insecure lock screen (swipe) and it seems that what you expand there are then expanded in the notification shade too. I think this survives a reboot.

Already rooted without downgrading. Check my guide in general section.
In your poll, add the option. Already running , debloated, rooted and working on recovery.
Took the OTA. Lost root. Trying to decide whether I need to root again.......
There's an official lollipop update for 8.3 VZW? Missed that
Sent from my Nexus 6
Do I need a Verizon SIM in it to pull the OTA?
I've tried both the update button in settings and the "Verizon Wireless Software Upgrade Assistant" PC client.
Tmo SIM doesn't work, VZW does
Fortunately I had an active VZW SIM out of a Galaxy Tab 2.
It asked me to download with it in, and would not let me see it with a T-Mobile SIM. Kept saying I was up to date.
Put the VZW SIM back in and it let me get it. Downloading over WiFi now, just over 600 megs.
Sure they'll gladly send you the OTA with an active VZW SIM, probably hoping you'll use your data allotment to do it...
Typical VZW antics, which is why I'll never use Verizon. MAYBE if someone else paid for it, but I'd resist even then. Worst carrier IMHO except of course their coverage is great. I carry a PagePlus $10/120 days for emergencies, camping, etc.
But I digress...

Previous releases for the VK810 had LG Backup? I'm not saying they didn't, just if they did I never noticed it. Was it (originally) in the same place it is on the G3 (Settings / Backup & Reset)? It is in fact not available there on 35A_08, but I know at some point I looked there on 24A and didn't see it either - unless I only checked after I had debloated it and I took it out by mistake or not knowing.
Was it definitely available on 24A? Curious because on the G3 once I tried it, I noticed it sure was fast and easy, and might not trump Titanium Backup for all purposes, but certainly for my most common uses.

It worked basically the same for me as the other LG devices I've seen (VS980 and V500), but with a different KDZ file of course.

Note: To put your VK810 into download mode, power it off, then hold the volume down button while you plug it into your PC. A small rectangle will appear in the middle of the screen that says "Download Mode".
Worked like a charm for me. yesterday.

You may be right, it is that I use it on my G3s that I assumed it was on the VK810. I use it to transfer files and apps between devices, I remembered that I tried but failed to get Snapdragon Battery Guru to the VK810. Shame it does have it uses.

I thought it was a twrp flash. LG flash tool. Won't you lose root/recovery? I'd like to see a rooted twrp like they do in S5 vzw&art threads. Simple kernel swap..Voila
---------- Post added at 10:04 PM ---------- Previous post was at 10:02 PM ----------
If nobody posts one soon then I will.
Definitely no LG Backup for the last 3-4 OTAs, but I haven't owned it long enough to speak for the entirety of the software history. I know that this device has been hamstrung by some of the carriers' antics by not including some basics that the flagship phones enjoy like a full feature Quick Remote, the absence of LG Backup (which just may be the best BU short of Titanium), and the exclusion of baked in goodies like Dual Window and adjustable Emersive Mode (hides the nav bar on a per-app basis). I know DW fix can be found, but not sure about the others yet.

Gotcha. Last I checked the SnapDragon Battery Guru wouldn't install from the Play Store on my G3's Lollipop, but I haven't checked lately and I don't recall if I tried just restoring it from Titanium Backup. I'll check again on the G3 and on this device in case it's changed (probably not), thanks for the reminder.

1060 5.1 wasn't released, and customer has Developer Edition - why not give a try to Retail ROM? Nobody is fond of Verizon bloat.
That's why, btw, they "pull the rubber" with the release - a lot of apps and VZ services not ready for Lolli. It's a hypothesis, of course.

that very clear, that if i want few problems i should use the xt1060 fw but since i live outside of u.s and i cant use the "lte" service in my country
i prefer to install other firmware that i also got support for my language and also get lollipop.
and guess what? sine i change to xt1053 fw everything work awesome , and its look that i can use very well gas and diesel in my car =]

Any ROM can be modified to not update boot loader (simple xml edit), but what's the point of this?
If your speaker is bad, reflash your old modem to 5.1
What's the point of this? If you want to go back to kit kat you will brick your phone on the moto x if the bootloader is updated. The amount of complaints about lollipop is enough to not want to update

Downgrade can be made w/o bootloader rewrite, so no bricking. If you downgrade then update via OTA, it will save you only one time. Second time will be brick. So downgrade wisely. High bootloader version isn't evil by itself )

"Huawei made changes in the installation process of the firmware. Now the firmware before installation passes the procedure of online checking. If you receive an "authentication failure" when installing the firmware, then at this time it is not possible to install this firmware on this unit, you need to wait.

Seems like the only way we'll be updating our phones from b560 before Huawei pushes OTA, is to roll back and upgrade directly to b580, or flash through custom recovery.

Some Substratum theme options weren't yet working. A few random force closes. Security Log agent messages from some apps. Lag in the notification shade when playing Spotify (so possibly any media). It's not like Oreo is a big upgrade, so I'm not in a rush to get it.

I just got this phone two days ago and have been away from the forums for over 2 years. Root is available for BQJA if I read correctly. Is that right? I just want root for substratum. Downloaded it from the Play Store and it's offering me to buy an add on for "supported Samsung"

You don't need root for Substratum. The $1.99 add-on does work and is probably required.

Been running this since yesterday. Only issue I've come across is that I can't allow unknown sources. Other than that it's ok so far. Truly nothing groundbreaking about it compared to the latest official update.

You can, but only by using the built in "my files" app.. Also go to settings>apps then tap the dots in the top right and tap special access and look at the bottom of the list. Do you see install unknown apps?
I hope they fix the theming issues, half of the icons get the stupid white border/frame. even when you turn off icon frames its stays. its the biggest reason why I switched back. This Beta is really stale this year. I have it on my s8 to and I'm not really impressed
Deleted, nvm. Lol

Hello ShieldTV users,
I have a little problem, I flashed my shield and installed a custom recovery. Now I would like to update to the last version but when the shieldTV try to install the update, the system reboot by itself and nothing else than the Shield 6.3 menu appear.
Should I update with Adb and fastboot ?
Sorry if my questions looks dumb AF I'm a bit newbie about the shieldTV and I don't want to mess and brick it.
Thanks in advance for your help
Edit : I also think about getting LineageOS, what do you guys think about it on shieldTV ?
Yes you would need to flash with fastboot.
But you will lose root and twrp if you have those.

Has anyone managed to get stock Android Oreo rooted??????
I hard bricked my 2017 trying and had to get a replacement.
I've just sent the replacement into a bootloop.
I'm not even installing it, just using " fastboot boot twrp.img"
I had twrp installed and running great before the Oreo update came along.
I think we need a twrp update....... any ideas??????

Yes after the oreo update I had to change to the latest twrp version for the shield of course I never install only fastboot
I did the update with fastboot, everything went well but I was unable to use the dev version so I used the normal instead.
Looks pretty neat, otherwise, what do you guys think about LineageOs on shield ? Can it be used a the main OS ?
I've not tried it fully but I'd say if you wanted normal Android (Not ATV) then that's the way to go.
I have had lots of China boxes with stock Android and to be honest it's a lot "simpler" but not as smooth.
By simpler I basically mean less hard to do the power user tasks that I often find myself doing.
However Android TV looks better and the average user would probably find it easier to find something to watch.
Also you lose all the gaming features.
Basically you end up with a powerful China box (U could have saved money buy just getting a China box)
