hi everyone
i went to unroot the phone and i have g2 with phizle recovery istalled i had exposed framework for awhile but i deleted it,and when i go to download mode it saies
that the phone is not rooted in white text,so if i got ota update and applied it on the phone wil my phone be bricked or will it install the update and removes root accesses?
ps: i'm talking about the knock code update that should land soon and i have stock kitkat rom(un toched).
another quistion:if i clicked update recovery in lg mobile support tool will it remove the root from the phone?
thank you
I got a sim unlocked sprint version of Lg ls980 Lg 2 from ebay and the phone was rooted and was on software version ZV7 since then i had updated the device twice through OTA and currently its running on ZVA software version, and i guess the root access is gone now and even i checked with the apps on the market it says device not rooted but the super SU app is still there in the phone which I am unable to uninstall.
NOW THE ACTUAL PROBLEM IS I AM UNABLE TO GET THROUGH THE ZVC UPDATE WHICH I AM GETTING FROM A LONG TIME, I ALMOST 4 TIMES WOULD HAVE DOWNLOAD THE ZVC UPDATE FILE OF 618 MB AND AFTER THE DOWNLOAD THE PHONES ASKS TO INSTALL AND REBOOT AND AFTER THE REBOOT ALSO THE PHONE STILL SHOWS UP THE SAME SOFTWARE VERSION AND KERNEL. IAM FED UP NOW HOW DO I UPDATE MY PHONE TO KITKAT NOW.
Hey, I have a LG D855, and I'm rooted on A6NL D855 V10G. My phone suggested to OTA update to V10I. Now I want to know if it's safe to do so. And if that's the case, what would happen to my root? I'd actually be glad to be rid of my root since I think it's lagging my device. So, what exactly would happen if I updated? Anybody with experience?
Would think although showing an ota when you download it it won't install as it will detect your root. In order to update you will have to return to unrooted state. A search will show a couple of threads instructing how to.
From what I understand, as long as you haven't made any changes within the system folder or installed a custom recovery, the OTA should install just fine. Worst case is if anything has been changed, it will tell you and it won't install. But yes, you will lose root once it is installed.
root and ota should be ok.
but be very careful if your g3 is bumped!! if you had installed bump! on your device, an ota update fails and the reboot always ended in the recovery. i tried almost erverything - no way out. i had no chance to reboot into the system!!
only flashing back to stock had fixed the problem (incl. loosing all personal data).

When u are rooted, it will download the new update (ota), but it will give a error when it installs. You have to update via pc.

Just had this happen to me on LG G3 for AT&T
Was rooted, got prompted to install the update, I kept declining until it stopped asking.
Then my phone died, after plugging it in and restarting my phone, it instantly jumped into the update window with no other options.
It updated automatically, and it didn't stop or error because of my root. I'm on 4.2.2 now, most up-to-date version on AT&T.
To make it clear: I'm rooted with TowelRoot, NOT with Bump!
Hello guys, I have a D802 phone and I was on Ressurection Remix 5.0 but since the official lollipop update was made avalaible, I wanted to return to stock and unroot so I could again use my warranty(for some weird reason they couldn't tell last time I took it there that it was rooted). Basically my problem is that every guide for going back to stock has the phone connected to the PC and use the flash tool. Well, I did that but when the mobile support tool opened for the upgrade, it couldn't find my phone. So I found a guide that showed you how to extract and rebuild a kdz file into a .zip. I tried that, used the UK d8023b rom ( A friend of mine who has a d802 as well, though unrooted, got the prompt to update through the pc suite and it updated his phone to d8023b, thats why i used that version), flashed it and I am now stuck in a bootloop. I have full access of recovery and adb but the phone isn't recognised by LG software. Can you please help me use my phone again? Going into download mode didn't work with the flash tool.
I've got an unlocked LS980 G2 that's been flashed to the Boost Network. Currently running KitKat 4.4.2 , but when I proceed with install the phone resets, appears to install the update slowly till about half-way then skips straight to the end. After restarting itself, it's still running 4.4.2 and says no updates are available.
The phone was previously rooted, but I performed a full unroot via SuperSU, factory reset and confirmed via Root Checker. Any idea what I'm doing wrong here? Help me please XDA!
Are you sure the update was for zvg? Could have been an update for zvc, happened to me. I had to tot to zvg(lollipop).
