Agreed, that is y I said it is buyers equal responsibility. But the truth is that this phone is very notorious on root and Ota. So all the ones that I have sold I have disabled the app from app info and informed about the ota thing. May b it's a learning for us all who are importing and selling phones. BTW, the gsm unlock can also be done on kitkat firmware.

Yes unlocking can be done within minutes on both 4.2..2 and 4.4.2 using IOROOT.
 
^ did read about the same.

Hence didnt update the phones.

Normally i update all phones to the latest OS and then sell them...OTA update was not downloaded by me...it has not been downloaded on the second phone either...
 
^ OTA gets downloaded automatically, and i think it only needs a restart to install it automatically.

That's why background data on "framework" should be restricted to stop auto download.
 
^chetansha Is trying his best to help me out.



It was already downloaded on phone.
The phone also had some other usage. And it was on for 9hr . I Pmed you about it

It was on for 9 hours , charged and tested...whether its working fine,otherwise how would i know the phone is fine ,did not turn on wifi..so no chance of OTA being downloaded man....

I saw the OTA (around 600mb) was downloaded when I switched on the phone for the first time. If seller had not put on his wifi then how it got downloaded.

Ota gets downloaded on gsm also, it doesnt need wifi, so maybe the seller inserted a sim and it got downloaded.
 
Let me get this right @prateekS, you knew about issues and you did not update the phone. Right? And did you inform the buyer of the potential issues??

What issues are we talking about ? There were reports.Not concrete data...people are using 4.4.2 too.A lot of them....I did not update the phone after rooting.I let it be on the same version it was when purchased stock 4.2.2.

Ota gets downloaded on gsm also, it doesnt need wifi, so maybe the seller inserted a sim and it got downloaded.

It waas locked.Not unlocked.
 
^^ Yes when i called prateekS when it got bricked he said he had no idea/knowledge about this.

I have no idea why a phone suddenly stops working.

You told me it was working after the update.

Im seriously having doubts now.

You told me over a phone call, so we dont have any evidence either.

Exact words : Working after update.Did a restart.Stopped working.
 
Mate what am saying is that maybe the seller from whom you bought it has inserted a SIM/used wifi and it got downloaded as it wasn't a sealed piece and the buyer is saying that there was some usage on Ebay app.

The thing i tested the phone...after getting it to india.

There was no update downloaded.And i had restarted the phone quite a lot of times after checking out every feature of the phone.No update was installed/downloaded.

I did not just buy the phone from the US and just hand over to the buyer...

Expert please speak here. Will the phone work after the OTA update on rooted phone and then suddenly after a reboot it will stop?
I said when the phone got rebooted after the update got installed, i got LG logo and Certification error.
 
^ Did you bought it BRAND NEW from eBay seller ?
Coz if yes then how it had usage of ebay and other apps on the phone.

Yes Brand New.Bad ESN.Never used.Except checking for DOA , doesnt everyone do it ?He might have tested wifi using ebay....

Anyways..even if its say 5 years used.What difference does it make ? OTA WAS NOT DOWNLOADED when i handed over phone to you.

OTA was already DOWNLOADED when I got the device.
 
^^ That is preposterous.It was never downloaded.so u cannot get it already downloaded.

Just asked a friend of mine regarding this..who has experince with this stuff and specifically this phone...He said :

" Boot certification error only comes if mobile has custom recovery installed and we take OTA update on it...

OTA will not brick LG G2 LS980 100... It will break only root...

So the buyer has (maybe) installed custom recovery on it and then he updated it and it got bricked..."

Again i had not installed any custom recovery.[DOUBLEPOST=1402306870][/DOUBLEPOST]Anyways...finally found the ignore button for some users...(2 specifically...)
