Well the ****ed up thing is im rooted. N the other ****ed up thing is theres not enough of you still ****ing with G3's so... If i update theres no root... Plus i have to do a lot of shyt to not brick my phone, i advice you all to do the same. Back up all your shyt, on an sd card or your computer because the update will most likely wipe your shyt clean lmao.. Then Use lg flash tool and flash the latest tot available i believe we only got zva, from there you will need to update a bunch of little updates probably like 4 til u get to what ever this new shyt update is.. But heres the problem, hands on activation! No root! Fudge! Totally clue less if we should even do it.. Well me for example i dont have sprint service i actually dont have any service right now im using my phone as a wifi phone but with out activating it n with out root to disable the annoying hands free activation im gonna have to..... Hold up, my mom has sprint if anything ill be the guinny pig n do it first and ill just have to pretend my mom is gonna use my phone n activate it thru her or some shyt.. I just wanna see whats the update so i can report back to yall.. So those of u who are rooted i can guarantee yall finna end up bricking yall phones cuz weve been so desperate for marshmellow n its here n yall not gonna listen to me n unroot n yall gonna get bricked. U CAN NOT UPDATE WITH ROOT DONT BE DESPERATE YOU WILL BRICK YOUR DEVICE :p SORRY GUYS IVE HAD A LONG MESSED UP DAY.. CAVS LOST AND IM FROM CLEVELAND.. SMH I WILL UPDATE YALL ON THIS ASAP

It's ZVE. Still Android 5.0.1 Lollipop. Not sure what it did. Probably a security fix.

I can't find a working download of LG Flash Tool, anyway. I tried to flash the OTA via FlashFire, but it stuck on that I have TWRP. I've been backing up, downloading Zip/DLL, and looking for LG Flash Tool ever since. But my son has the same phone, and he never rooted. So the OTA worked for him.

22.47 MB, zip there you go i just used whatstool alot easier to share files with
Ive got flash tool 2014 i have the old flash tool which js mostly what everyone uses. (The one with the megalock.dll) and then i have the new flashtool patched. The way to install it is easy u simply install using the setup and on the old one you after install u go to c:\LG and replace the megalock with yours, easy as cake, with the new lg flashtool you simply replace the exe itself rather than the megalock using the same method. The 2014 i dont think needs any hacking n cracking.. I also put the ls990 dll in there its for sprint model g3 so if thats what u got thats what u use
