thank you...just really hope uscc will get some love really like the phone but really want some love for it..
Don't know about thread but I am sure a dev can create a patch for you guys once we get root of course. Probably gonna need to sacrifice for testing unless a dev picks up your variant.Will the us cellular version get it's own thread...an will we get any love...pls say we will pls o pls
I am wondering the same thing, though I will be making ROMs for our varient of the G4......Also if anyone needs testing done on the US991 I would be more than happy to be the guinea pig (I picked up multiple G4's just for this purpose, lol).Will the us cellular version get it's own thread...an will we get any love...pls say we will pls o pls
Ya that will be good just hoping we don't get left behind...us be a genie pig but this is my only phone with I had more but saidly I don't..but I am willing to help with what I can...
Why is us celluer not that popular..phone seems to be stock from what lg puts out unlike verizon an AT&T..we even have the oem unlock thing that I know verizon for sure took out...just seems like we don't get much attention an just wondering why? Go lg g4..an thanks to the devs that are putting the own time in to root an unlock the boot loader u all rock!!
You don't get much attention because US Cellular is a MUCH smaller company than Verizon and AT&T.
Thank you for the post, this was very helpful in understanding why I couldn't update my firmware from 10A, no matter what I tried. I even thought of ordering a US cellular SIM card at one point, in the hopes of getting my IMEI registered with US cellular to enable OTA updates. Now I'm getting a feeling that would be a futile attempt, as this US991 unlocked model isn't the same as the locked model. (i.e., no OTA update whatsoever with unlocked model)
That's very interesting, I thought I was in the same boat. I have a US991 that I got off ebay which I assumed to be the same as the ones at Best Buy or B&H. Mine has the US99110C firmware, so maybe that means it is a US Cellular model? There's actually nothing on the phone that says US Cellular - no branding or bloatware. I've tried getting information from US Cellular and from LG, and the official word from LG is that they don't sell unlocked phones unless they are a Nexus, so that led me to believe that the ones retailers are selling are really US Cellular models (maybe overstock). It's also clear that the people at LG who answer customer questions don't know anything about the unlocked phones being sold.
In other words, we don't care, get lost. This was more than 2 weeks ago.
I couldn't even OTA to 10D, which was my original intent of upgrading to 10C. However, the 10A we have is probably at 10D's patch level (build date of Sep 15), so I wouldn't worry about getting updates unless you're itching for Marshmallow. Given the experience I had with Marshmallow on the Moto X Pure I had for a week before getting my G4, I'm totally fine with Lollipop for the time being. In addition to Doze not really being effective (still had major Android OS and oddly Cell Standby drain), I had a lot of backwards compatibility issues because of the new permissions model. I also hate that they took out the option to disable interruptions until the next alarm after the release of MM. Some weird OTA Google thing removed the feature a while after 6.0 came out, and only 6.0.1 has it now.
H815 firmwares would definitely brick your phone, but you can flash USC KDZs with no problem. As far as you being on 10C, what's your kernel build date (shows in the *#*#244773825625#*#* secret menu)? My firmware is 10A, but I'm pretty sure it's at the same patch level as at least 10C, possibly 10D, since the kernel date is Sep 15, and 10C's was Jun 1.
I'd try emailing them again
I'm coming from a Nexus 5 which, of course, has all the updates. I had no trouble with MM. I can't say it made a huge positive difference either (my battery still dropped quickly but 2 years old), but for security reasons, I always want updates. I'm very skeptical about this phone getting the monthly updates that Google is pushing out, I'll consider that better next time I buy. Got duped by the stores calling this unlocked, though LG clearly doesn't want to support it themselves referring me to the carrier when I ask. I will keep pestering them to fix Bridge and hopefully provide the USC update.
That's too bad. I would expect LG to make the phones as similar as possible which is easier on the engineering and parts supply. I'm thinking this phone might be identical to the Sprint model, saw some posts about mix ups, not sure if it ever worked. At least on that one they get the radio.
Lucky you!Android Marshmallow 6.0 20C for the US Cellular US991 is out now. This is an update from 10D.
You can install 20C on any US991 regardless of current version. 20C is specifically for US Cellular users... not the unlocked US991 users with the unbranded model on 10A. Though it would work on those devices.. the phone would have some things set to US Cellular rather than the unlocked version it is now.

Newbie alert! Is there a guide on how to create a KDZ file? I'd love to know how to do it.
