Verizon LG G3 update

The LG G3 Android Marshmallow update is now rolling out North America. A reddit user uploaded a screenshot that confirms Verizon has started to make the update available to its customers, bringing the device to software version VS98546A.

The download comes in at 788.6 MB and you should be notified when it becomes available. If you're eager, you can head to Settings > About phone > Update center > Software update and hit Check now for update to see if it's ready. Before installing the new version, make sure your device has at least 50 percent charge.

There is no word from the other carriers just yet, but their updates can't be far behind.

      try the LG Mobile Support Tool >>Download It Here>> (lg-support-tool.en.lo4d.com) and use this simple software to get and install updates to your LG Mobile via USB connection, if there is it will download and push to your phone, please read before updating and as usual ensure battery is above 50% (*THIS WILL NOT IN ANY WAY ROOT YOUR PHONE OR IS A ROOTING TOOL OF ANY KIND*) Hope you get through, this is a reliable solution, cheers

    I have a G3 D850 Gold. It is an unlocked international version. It's still on 4.4.2; after contacting LG I'm still not sure if I'll ever see a newer version of Android. I've gone under settings to try to start the OTA (FOTA) but it says nothing is available. Anyone have any guesses?

      Depends on your country/provider...mine is UK/3 and they updated my G3 D850 about 3 months ago to 5.0 and it works super duper!
      Mine is the 16gb device w 32 gb sd card, & still have 14 gb free.

      download (lg-support-tool.en.lo4d.com) and use this simple software to get and install updates to your LG Mobile via USB connection, I didn't wait on T-Mobile got the G3 D851 Variant and got it so try this and see if there is an update for your variant, if there is it will download and push to your phone, please read before updating and as usual ensure battery is above 50% (*THIS WILL NOT IN ANY WAY ROOT YOUR PHONE OR IS A ROOTING TOOL OF ANY KIND*) Hope you get through, cheers

    DO NOT DO THIS UPDATE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I DID THIS UPDATE AND NOW MY FREAKING LG G3 WONT EVEN RECOGNIZE THE NETWORK. SINCE 10AM THIS MORNING I HAVE BEEN ON THE PHONE AND IN VERIZON AND CALLING LG. NO ONE CAN HELP ME. I HAVE TO BUY A NEW PHONE BECAUSE OF A STUPID UPDATE. I HAVE TOO MUCH ON THE PHONE TO DO A FACTORY RESET. IF YOU DO INSTALL THIS MESS, DO IT AT YOUR OWN RISK BECAUSE IT IS A RISK!!!!!!!!!! NEW SIM CARDS HAVE BEEN PUT IN, POWERED ON AND OFF, NETWORK SETTINGS RESET...YOU NAME IT. NOTHING. I WONT EVER BUY ANOTHER LG, I AM SCARED TO!
