Updating your device with the new firmware definitely fixes the bugs in your device and enriches the feature category of your Smartphone. Then how have you thought of updating your device?
Updating with the OTA release is undoubtedly the easiest way, but OTA releases are not that much popular. In that case, you can adopt other procedures like Manual Update which assists you to fix your bricked device via Official Android software or to restore the Stock OS on your handset. Also you can opt for flashing a Custom ROM like CM11, AOPK or ParanoidAndroid in your Smartphone that helps you in customizing your Smartphone.
Here in this article I shall let you explain how you can safely and easily update your LG G2 Smartphone device via OTA Relase, and Custom ROMs. While updating your device with a Custom ROM, you must remember that it can only be done with a rooted LG G2 handset. Apart, you must install CWM Recovery or any other custom recovery image in your device. Since this is an unofficial procedure, so the warranty of your device will get void and you might face certain issues in your device.
