E980 AT&T software update

[cleankutazn]

So there is no point in updating if you already had the update last summer??

 

[Haalcyon]

Well, are you sure they are the same updates?

Well, got the prompt to update, my phone is rooted, didn't work, phone stuck in cwm screen, then i manage to wipe it clean. need zip file for andriod os v4.1.1 or new boot laoder help!

Anyone stuck in the CWM recovery loop the ONLY way to fix it is to follow this ( [GUIDE] [E980] Fix soft bricks. Flash back to stock using LGFLashTools - xda-developers ) to the tee. I tried everything else and that is the only thing that worked. It puts you back to stock unrooted.

Jserrjets go to the link in my other post and follow the directions and you will be able to fix your phone. I had to do it yesterday.

phone wont go into download mode, i followed all instruction

@wndrrd, I tried your link. Everything went well until I got to the last step to flash the phone back to the stock roms. It started the flash process then said:
USB Connection Established
Flashing
Device QFUSE Check OK!!
...PrimaryGPT
:: Error ::
F0000002

Then the status area turned red and said Download FAIL!! (30sec)

Now the phone will not go into download mode. It still boots to ClockworkMod though the backup I created after installing ClockworkMod disappeared. Any suggestions on how to proceed?

Here's the trick:

0. MAKE SURE THE PHONE IS OFF. THEN:
1. Press both volume buttons (up + down)
2. With both volume buttons pressed, THEN CONNECT THE USB CABLE. The phone will "boot" to Download Mode.

JJ Kairos: I've been trying to update since I got the phone in August, no dice. Always get the 'not yet registered' bologna.

I had to download the AT&T firmware file for the July update and install it manually (which involves a factory reset so be warned!), since I did that it took the latest update just fine and dandy. You and I might have gotten a bad batch.

I posted instructions somewhere around here for doing the manual update. It's using AT&T's firmware image, so it's not rooting or a custom ROM or anything, just stock firmware.

Is it anywhere that lists what the Benefits are of the update(s) so those interested know if its worth being bothered? I apologize if that's already been listed above.

The one for July is the benefits listed in this thread. No one seems to know the benefits offered by the latest version other than a couple of Google updates (Play Services, etc)

I used the XDA thread to flash back to stock and the LG flashing tool wouldn't recognize the AT&T software because it was in TOT file and not a kdz file. I had to flash the Panama E980 file which worked and had to manually set the LTE through the dialpad. How did everyone get the ATT file to flash????

 

[JSWilsonX]

I used this link to get the files: [GUIDE] [E980] Fix soft bricks. Flash back to stock using LGFLashTools - xda-developers There are better instructions elsewhere on the process. I had no problems flashing the AT&T software. The only issue I has was getting the phone into download mode without corrupting the download. Most instructions call for holding the down volume and plugging in the USB cable. For me this started the download before the cable was firmly seated which resulted in a failed flash. I found instructions which called for plugging in the USB cable then holding the up and down volume button and pressing the power button until the device powers down then releasing the power button (all the while holding the volume buttons). This gave me consistently good results. I really like this phone. It is great to be able to restore it to its original condition reguardless of what had been done to it before. If only some one could make files for the current release.

The biggest thing for me is that it fixes a problem that caused the lock screen to display the incorrect time. It is truly a minor update.

 

[cmky8132]

Thanks. I'm sorry I used a different guide on flashing back to stock. Yeah you have to hold the volume down and power button at the same time after turning the phone off and then connecting the USB cable, while keeping the buttons pressed to go into download mode. I will try this guide instead. Sorry for any confusion.

need to use the unbrick technique had a similar problem after a wipe and bad install of custom rom and then tried to run a nandroid with no luck. [GUIDE] [E980] Fix soft bricks. Flash back to stock using LGFLashTools - xda-developers

[cloudstrifeff7]

So basically if I unroot device before update everything will be fine.
