Metro Just pushed a firmware ans OS update

As far as I can tell there were two pushed, a firmware update and a Jellybean update, I cannot find build numbers, I just woke up looked at the phone and saw the prompts to do so, initiated said update.....
 
I noticed the same thing this morning. I did a quick search online to see if I could find out what it was but this was the only place I could find.
 
When I try to update, says it can't update a Rooted device.
Could I unroot then update? Sideload the update?
 
Mine wouldn't update either, because of root. My wife's did though. She only got a firmware update; hers is now at "g" fIrmware. The software is still at 4.0.4.
 
I got the update too. My phone seems to be much faster now. I was having all sorts of issues lately, but now it is zipping from screen to screen and app to app.

I have not heard anything about any updates. Does one have to wait for Metro to send something or can one do it oneself?

you can do it yourself, some phones are not updating yet on their own since the update was just released and aren't recognizing there's a new update yet. Just click the link in my previous post and it has instructions in the list of firmware of how to flash it yourself.

Is it a Jellybean update? I don't think it is because I updated and if it was a Jellybean update I'd be able to see emojis

Thanks, I was just about to do it whence the message came in from Metro. It is updating itself now. Gosh, I hope this helps my phone.
 
I got the MS77010G update this morning and installed it.
Before installing it I read that some rooted phones won't update OTA, but mine did and I did not have to re-root.
I have not noticed any difference in my phone since updating it, maybe I'll notice something as days go by...
 
Update: I got home from work and hooked up my phone to the computer. I started the LG update tool and it successfully updated my Motion to 10G. Now I just need to check and see if the root method still works.


Edit: Yes, the root method does still work.
 
Cool, I thought this phone was never going to see an update to Jelly Bean.

I'm not a noobie, but I haven't tried to keep up with being an elite either. So, I'm going to ask what could be a basic question.

I just let LG motion go into "retirement" go off service and bought a Alcatel One Step Fierce, because the price seemed so cheap.. The Alcatel is meh, and larger than I'm used to, but my question is


o - can I online switch my plan back to the LG , and have them push the update to my phone? Am I allowed to freely switch between different phones?
