Hi everyone,
I got a popup window notifying me about a system update that was ready to install on my Verizon LG G2. I chose not to install it, but it said I can install it later. I am rooted and I am not sure what this update is for, possibly a fix for the root exploits. Anyone else seeing this?
EDIT: Everyone is confirming that it does not break root, but if you have already installed TWRP then DO NOT ACCEPT THE UPDATE.

I got it too.... Couldn't find any info on it. I did the update and in "about phone' I still show rooted. It is still 4.2.2 so I am assuming it was a minor software issue/security fix.

Please confirm that you did the system update and can still use root apps. Also, which root method did you use. Maybe they patched the Chinese method, but not the newer method yet!
I'm getting the notification too. I won't be updating til I find out what it does.

Wow, pretty ballsy of you to accept the OTA without knowing if it would break root or custom recovery.
I hope there not trying that crap already

We have custom recovery. Why on earth would anyone do a OTA .. ever... again.... I have never. There will be a ROM based on Stock available that will include every GOOD thing from every OTA that is pushed... Patience is a virtue.

No customer recovery because TWRP is broken currently.

So how do you stop it from popping up the notification. I don't mind waiting, but I don't see how to dismiss the notification?

The Newest recovery has ADB option and is considered safe for now. My point is that why would anyone accept an OTA when it is obvious that withing a short period of time there is not only going to be a fully fixed recovery plus Custom ROM's based on the latest Stock ROM with the OTA included. Once you Root and install recovery, you kiss the carrier and their attempts at "Updates" goodbye.

Freeze the System Update App in System with Titanium.
I did the update and still have root access.
Sent from my VS980 4G using XDA Premium 4 mobile app
Notice anything change?
i haven't rooted yet, so i told it to install later. i'll root tonight so that i know i can have it, sounds like the update doesnt take root away, it could keep you from rooting if you arent yet tho..
Oh crap, did the update and it looks like I'm soft bricked(?). I can only get to TWRP, and can't reboot the phone (always goes back to TWRP, no matter what I do, even after Factory Reset). PLEASE HELP!!
(Verizon G2)
I'm not sure if I can attribute this to the ota update but my wifi performance has been really glitchy. Constant disconnect/reconnect.
I can't say it's due 100% to the ota because wifi will occasionally get spotty due to the sheer amount of wifi APs and traffic at my workplace.
Anyone else experience this? BTW I'm rooted.

I'm in the same boat, stuck in TWRP loop won't reboot. Downloading files to get back to stock, so will try to put into download mode once everything is downloaded (2.3gb file is taking a while)...I'm sure it'll be resolved soon enough. Will report back if it works.

OTA for German Retail version from 4.4.2 to 4.4.4 started to roll out finally.
Download:
http://d-h.st/gUF
The name of the file is Blur_Version.176.44.1.falcon_umts.Retail.en.DE.zip - as always - it is named after the firmware being updated not after the target one.
Were you on stock recovery but rooted when you got this OTA?
I got this Update today too.

You can always GET an OTA but you won´t be able to install it in some scenarios.
Your system partition has to be mostly untouched, but root and Xposed Framework won´t cause any problem. You can use stock or Philz Recovery.
Also got the update but the installation is failing due to unexpected changes to build.prop. I have removed xposed and anything else I can think of that may have changed the system partition but still no go.
Any ideas? Maybe someone could post their build.prop?
I'm also getting the update in The Netherlands. Bought my phone online amazon.de :laugh:

I'm rooted and installed the stock recovery then tried doing the Ota (I'm on stock rom if it matters) and it gives an error, just "error" no more information during the installation process.
Anybody can help?

Yes, you have the right version of firmware for this OTA, don´t know why it´s failing for you, there´s too much variables, it´s hard to tell.
As to where the file I posted comes from - it´s right from my phone. Until today morning I was on French 4.4.4, then I flashed the German 4.4.2 firmware to look if I could catch the OTA and it really came, I pulled it from my /cache and posted here. Check out the MD5 sum: d289331e52d0f79d2bcc4b9b390ff338
It´s the same on my local copy, on the cloud copy I posted and also look here:

Why so sceptical? Apart from a different dialer GUI, there´s not much difference you can really feel on 4.4.4, basically there are just some bug fixes.

Perhaps you need to uninstall and remove the modules and the xposed from the system before updating. Xposed and the modules add / modify system files and other sources in the device. Make sure you unroot as the last step as well. Stock recovery is required to install the OTA successfully

No development in OTAs.
No development in flashable zips.
No development = no dev section no matter how important or useful it may be.

Completely missed this thread, thank you kind sir!
Was hoping for a flashable zip! I received a notification for an update, I rather do a zip!
Agreed, flashable zip would be awesome. Anyone?
Sorry guys, I wasnt aware its already posted, im almost done uploading on my work network.
the file is the pure OTA file, not a modified, unencrypted root zip (sadly) im hoping posting it this way helps a dev create the kind of file we need to flash.
I believe this is a dev thread as it is a flashable zip (even though its unrooted and encrypted) and can help with development.
Thread does not belong to Android Dev.
Moved to General section.
OP,
Please take care.
THANKS
Error on OTA install
So I know there are tamper checks for if you root, but what if you get an error while sideloading and you aren't rooted?

Odd. I got the OTA despite being Rooted and using a custom recovery.
Should I install it or should I wait until a flashable zip can be made?

This. Its quite annoying.
The new file system format for the OTAs is designed to fail at the slightest change to your device. If I understand things correctly, there is no chance to use the OTA unless you are 100% stock. This is new for Lollipop.

Least I'm not alone on this. Have you done anything to your phone? ie root, rom, etc.?
I believe they do a diff on the entire partition, so even removing added files or undoing edits won't fix it. Timestamps were updated and new filesystem blocks were allocated.

So, I was on the 6.0 Build for a long time but finally decided it was time to update. I moved up to this build and have had some issues. Before I just replaced the Hosts file to get ad blocking. But with the 6.0.1 builds the System is full. Easy workaround was creating a symlink to a hosts file that is placed in /sdcard/ But in this build it seems like it isn't doing any ad blocking. Anyone have any ideas why?
Thanks
Basically I have 3 wants aside from stock, I don't root so I can keep Android Pay, I want ad-blocking, and edit the Build.prop to net.tethering.noprovision=true

No, its a Nexus. But look into the new SuperUser by Chainfire, it is systemless now. So version 2.67 or higher. Also the system partition is full now. You cant write to it without deleting a couple of items first like unused keyboards.
I have seen so many new versions of Viper, and as I said in my previous post I turned on my phone from brand new, fast boot, unlocked bootloader and rooted. I installed TWRP, version 3001. So at this moment I am stock rooted with TWRP version MMB29X. Can anyone kindly point me to the best and correct TWRP flashable version of Viper? Without V4A, I feel like I have half a phone. Thanks to anyone who can give me a hand. Peace guys.

While you are correct for using an hlte recovery (they merged device support) most ROMs/update packages have a check for the model at the very beginning of the updater-script. You can manually edit the ROM package to remove that check or just temporarily use an hltevzw recovery.

I downloaded this rom and installed it on my Verizon note 3, I currently had 5.0 of1 installed with a jasmine rom, wanted to try this...downloaded to my SD card , booted to twrp recovery, did a full wipe and installed this rom and gapps, everything was working good except it didn't recognize my Sim card, even pulled the battery and Sim and tried reinsert it, still said no mobile network found...any ideas? I am on Verizon network..
Never mind, I think it was because I didn't have the hltevzw twrp installed
