Click to expand...

You can't use cdma because the f6 is a GSM phone.

Metro pcs had 4G-lte even when they were on cdma network. I believe its been about 4yrs now since they got 4G.

Does the Ota work on rooted 10i, utilizing the temp unroot with, rootkeeper/superuser? Or does it need to be done by lge tool on PC?

I got the root to stick using pressy4pie's sdcard memory hack and the ota root keeper. just do a hard reset, kdz flash to i, then use pressy4pie's to gain root access, the root backup with voodoo, don't do temp unroot, go back to pressy's and restore original backup, don't flash cwm, then finally do the ota update. after it reboots, do a restore root in voodoo, attempt root in pressy's, update binary in su, reboot, viola. after 20 tries i found i had to follow that order.
