[International] new update ricived this morning !

really? that's inconvenient. I thought any update would override whatever 'custom' stuff I had on the phone.

It's not as If I have a custom rom. It's the latest unbranded version (not anymore).


Isn't there a temp way to fake this and get away with just updating?

Its really easy. You choose to flash it with odin or clockwork mod recovery

anyone knows what the update is providing? I'm on MAC OS x and to flash with Odin, I need to get a hold of a PC which is rather annoying.

also anyone has a link to just the update? i dont want to go through replacing the Email stock apk with the AOSP apk again...

If you're replacing apks, surely you're rooted and the update is irrelevant? Please provide details, including current build number

Yes I am rooted. I'm on XX something LG8. both baseband and build number.

cant remember on top of my head. based in the UK, unbranded, rooted

why is the update irrelevant? I thought it fixed some bug issues with cell standby and battery draining.

It's irrelevant as rooted devices don't get OTA updates. or shouldn't anyway...

The update is just a baseband (LH1) that can be flashed via CWM recovery.

It fixes some drain issues but cell standby is something else.
