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
Bump! works with this?

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
Those who are using Indian soak test before and now using official release in India.... Do you notice any changes?
Sent from my XT1068/69 using XDA Premium 4 mobile app
Soak Testers didn't get the final OTA and will not get it. Reason is, the final OTA rolled out today is the same one soak testers got. They just got it a little early. You can see in the screenshots that everything under About Phone is same in soak test version and final version.
So does this in theory then mean that those of us who installed the captured soak test from the other thread will not need to use any other captures in the future and be able to use the ota update just fine without any chances of bricks etc

I mean we'll be able to download ota's without worries of getting our phones bricked because of it being from soak. I remember reading the other day someone was talking about how if we want to be able to use ota we'd have to use a stable capture first in order to be able to use ota. It seems that won't be an issue though since soak and stable are the same with just different release dates so we shouldn't have to worry about that right? Sorry for being silly here. I'm not exactly an ape man when it comes to tech but I'm not feeling the need to fiddle around with roms and bootloaders on this phone when I shouldn't really need to

Well, it was me who said that the other day. That time the official update hadn't rolled out and we thought it would be a newer system version. But, now that it's released; we now know that it is the exact same OTA, so no problems for future updates either. It's like we never installed soak.

Yea i suspected something like that was going on when I saw that new thread about the stable and people were saying everything's exactly the same but just wanted some sort of confirmation. Now the only thing that I don't know if it'll affect anything in the future is that my build number on 4.4.4 was kxb now it's lxb (unless k stands for kitkat and l for lolipop lol. dunno) but i don't think it would be a problem since the system version has only the numbers changed and everything else is as it was on kitkat. Seems like the indian release works on european xt1068's as well contrary to what I read some people were saying but I guess it depends on some things...

Well that pretty much solved all questions I had regarding lolipop on my moto g. Now the only mystery that remains is if the indian update works just fine when you install it on a eu moto g (well you need to manually install from recovery doe doesn't detect it in the ota screen) why is the eu xt1068's update nowhere to be talked about. All I've seen is india brazil and so on but eu is so silent that even babies can sleep

That´s a mystery for sure!
The only difference between the indian and the european XT1068 is the fact, that the indian version has 16 gb of memory,european model has 8gb.
But there must be something more that differs! In europe even a soaktest is rumored,surveys were sent,so everthing looks like we have to wait in europe for a few more days/weeks.
But why? In another thread I considered that Motorola is afraid of being taken to court or something by european users if something doesn´t work right. European laws are tough. Isn´t that a bit far out?
Or are there any technical differences between these models which are barely known?

Aside from the ram I highly doubt there's any real difference since when I got mine in the first few days of fiddling around it had the hindi, korean and pinyin keyboards which i disabled so I don't think that would be the case....I mean why would most eu phones need these inputs from the get go. As far as laws go I can't really see much reasoning there either since it's a 130-50eu phone so they can't really have much to complain and unless it somehow magically bricks the device I doubt there would be many if any at all issues...Dunno doe. I'm not motorola so i have no idea what's going on through their heads but it's just kinda silly to me considering that everything's running fine on mine at least without any factory resets or anything....could be just me doe. On another note I think one of my little gripes about lollipop is that it doesn't hide the signal bar for my secondary sim when it's inactive and just shows it. Is this just for me or does everyone have that cuz I didn't pay attention to that on screenshots the last few days

The 14th Jan one does have 1032.3105.

Weird though, I have installed the same version, but using a .zip captured by one soak tester. How could the version be different, when the update is same?

Yes, weird but there is reason. MD5 of old link and new capture matched perfect. Update in link by you and new both are same. Looks like Motorola fooled everyone and rolled same update again.
Anyways! Can anyone share TWRP backup of this version?
some apps bugs ..
Some apps like fifa 15 ut and some others are not supported for locked device and while installing from play store it showed error 505.

If you are still running the official stock before lollipop it is a definite improvement, however LG should be releasing the actual official release here sooner (starts trying not to laugh) or later.
Oh who am I kidding, we aren't seeing the official update until fall here in the states for the V500.
LG's non phone updates are difficult to forecast to say the least. They seem to be primarily focusing on their phones (G2, G3 and now the G4) the tablet business appears to be an afterthought.
The QPair stuff seems to finally be working for me after testing this weekend. In previous situations it could not handle disconnections and reconnections very well. Now that both devices are running lollipop and the latest version of QPair things seem to be working better... In addition my problem with SDCard's perpetually unmounting on stock 4.4.2 appears to have gone away with lollipop. My problem after a long amount of research, only occurred when the pad sleeps in a certain way. I do not have to root and disable a certain sleep mode anymore with the new release (so far with one week of testing the Korean v500 release).

Can u be more precise about the issue? I didn't understand what you're trying to say.
I'm gonna update with the Korean version as I can no longer wait for the update, but time is preventing me
There is a thread about it.... Basically the sdcard starts unmounting uncontrollably. It is now (as of this evening) confirmed to still be present in the Korean release. Which means as before I will avoid the LG built kernel... If you want you can monitor your tablet with the app called sdcard monitor by Ahmed Moharram in the play store. If you get bad removals without rebooting your tablet you have the problem.
The thread that I was thinking of is linked below, and other threads/posts are referenced in my post in that thread... I find that running certain roms or kernels avoids the issue completely which really bothers me since it means that the devs know this tablet better than LG actually does... I know it isn't a hardware problem since the 4.2.2 original release of the software for this tablet does not exhibit the issue...
Thread here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/lg-g-pad-83/general/solved-sd-card-unmounting-issue-t3053909
I thought the notification names and related were changed to English default in this rom, but it isn't.
There's a qvoice app which displays everything in Korean. What's that?
Better battery life yes, but takes time to set up again!!
can it be dirty install?
Can this rom be dirty install without problems? Much obliged for your intention and answer.

Since I spend 12 hours a day working with Huawei firmware, I figured a list may be handy.
Key:
Model and Version
Chinese Model:
MHA-AL00C00B301 (EMUI 5.1, beta)
MHA-AL00C00B203
Meafnaf (Middle East / North Africa) Models
MHA-L29C185B181
LON-L29C185B180
Eu (Europe) Models
MHA-L09C432B182
MHA-L29C432B182
LON-L29C432B185
Spcseas (Asia/Pacific) Models
MHA-L29C636B181
LON-L29C636B182
USA Model
MHA-L29C567B190
Porsche Model
LON-L29C721B185
Generic Model
MHA-L09C900B186
MHA-L29C900B186
LON-L29C900B187
Note: It's not possible to tell how new a firmware is based only on its build number. For example, MHA-L29C567B183 has a very high build number, but it's much older than MHA-L29C636B181
Any chance to include the PD version in this list?
Anyways, it's depressing to see they are developing indeed, but they are struggling so hard at keeping a decent official release pace. I mean, pretty much everything is unauthenticated, or if it is it still takes ages to become available. If it wasn't for Firmware Finder, I'd still be stuck at a 4 months old firmware on my PD, without 10x zoom, all the camera tweaks which were applied later and so on, how can this be possible?!

Ok, added it.
Actually, Huawei is very active with development, but not active with public releases/authentication. Basically, the rollout cycle is:
Build, upload for internal use (usually day after build), upload publicly, release to some devices, release to all devices.
With the Porsche Design Mate 9, they actually had a build 156, but they never ended up uploading it or releasing it publicly, and just jumped to 174, then 180, without publicly releasing them. It is strange, indeed, but the Porsche tends to get updates fast enough, internally, at least. I feel most sorry for the LON-L29C432 users, really, because they seem to get the updates last.

Somehow that makes sense. At first, your statement scared me a bit ("wtf are they doing?").
Let's see what comes next. I personally am sick and tired of flashing. Bricked more than one phone (although Samsungs); I'll be waiting quietly here until they release whatever they want to release.

Of course there are benefits, but it's impossible to know exactly what they are. I know the kernel is newly built and the security patches are more recent. Otherwise, seems to be mainly power management/performance-related, but the changelogs are so vague, so it's up to fate whether or not you feel an actual substantial change. Not many people have tried it at this point.
If you want the files, just use HiSuite to try and install the update. The files will be downloaded to your Documents\HiSuite folder. If you're rooted, it's possible the HiSuite update might fail, but you'll get the files.

Using Firmware Finder I found newer ROMs than my current 158. What's the difference between FullOTA-MF and OTA-MF? I know one is huge but which do i download to upgrade please?
I am thinking to upgrade to 172 as 180 has no FullOTA file.
And which one is best to download of the three? It's very confusing. I did all this fine on my Mate 8 but now i forget. Thanks.

Firmware Finder will only work on older releases which are signed by Huawei. When a new release is found, Huawei won't be signing it for your device for a few weeks in most cases. You'll have to use a different method if you want to install 180.
So, I bought my X compact 5 days ago and it was on Android 6. The sound output was simply amazingand the volume really, really high. I decided to install all the OTA updates and now the volume has been reduced noticeably. Is there anyone else who has noticed it? Any solutions to it?
Thanks in advance.
I bought my XC last week that came with marshmallow and then I updated to Nougat. I can't say I experienced the same problem. It was always kind of meh.

Then, can you please give me a site where I can search for the latest Marshmallow available, since PTCRB hasn't listed the X Compact's firmwares? Thanks for replying!

XperiFirm still hosts a MM .198.ftf knowing that we need it, or see the post by kekistaneerefugee.

Depends on your skill set and willingness to learn how to mod one apk to do what you need multiple modules to do, and how concerned with security you are.

Thank you both guys. Two last guestions. Is .198 the latest Marshmallow (before our phone upgraded to Android 7). Also, when I dial the code for secret menu,under software info, the Active Customization number is my SI, right?

Mine is 1304-8441_R3D. I'm not sure if it was the last one, I only used it in order to be able to backup my TA partition then unlocked my BL, used POC to create a kernel that uses my TA partition to restore DRM functionality. Then I flashed TWRP 3.1.1 and used SuperSU to root.

And you're on Marshmallow now?
I'm just not feeling like going for Marshmallow due to a bug at 7.1.1, since our devices will get more updates as the time goes by, which means there are chances we're seeing it fixed.

No, I'm using the latest 7.1.1, .228 rooted Nougat. When I come to sell my X Compact in the next week or so when the XZ1 Compact drops I'll downgrade to MM again to unroot and relock my BL then update back to N.

You're the boss haha. I'm afraid to void my warranty for now. I'll just wait for Android 8 to make my volume output good again. In case it doesn't I'll give Marshmallow a try

Ha, I'm just experienced with Xperias. Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10, Arc, Ray, Sony Xperia Z, Z1 Compact, Z3 Tablet, X Compact, everyone rooted or had it's bootloader unlocked and never had an issue with any that required a warranty repair.
Not saying it can't happen as I have seen a few instances over the years when others have had to, but it's a small percentage and doesn't warrant being so overly cautious during, imo of course.

By the way, don't you have any issues with your sound volume at your headphones?

Always happy to try and help. I don't use the headphones at all but the speaker volume was an issue before I increased the mixerpaths xml, it's perfect now though.

I'm on the opposite side of you. I mostly use my headphones and I'm just fine with the speaker's volume.
