I have a Verizon LG G2. I have the phone rooted with stock recovery. Rooting Status shows: Rooted. I have 2 questions:
#1. When KitKat is released, will I receive the OTA
#2. Does Verizon periodically check phones for root and will it affect service if they catch someone with root??
No to both questions. If and when KitKat is released for the G2, it will just be a matter of reverting to the stock firmware in order to receive the OTA...

The only time Verizon may check rooting status is if you have to turn your phone in for warranty service, in which case just flash back to stock using the method above.

If you have stock rom just rooted. you will receive OTA. Only if they release it officially in your country.

I'm planning to root my LG G2 D802 and use a custom rom to have a kitkat experience. but before rooting my phone, i want to know if is it still possible to update my phone to the ORIGINAL KitKat update using the OTA update by LG or i will be stocked to the custom rom once i rooted my phone?
Once you put a custom recovery on it in order to install a custom ROM, you can no longer take an OTA update. Odds are very good that the stock ROM, once out, will be available to install the same way you install a custom ROM, but OTA's are out once you have a custom recovery.
Sure it can be done, you just need to restore tour phone to stock firmware.

you can use the update tool your phone has the installer for,
you connect your phone to the pc and it says connected as installer,
install the program and update with it, it uses download, bypassing the recovery

what if Its only ROOTED, no custom ROM will be installed, can i still get OTA update without flashing another stock rom? sorry for newbie question
Hello all. Before this kitkat update I had my LG G2 rooted but right after I installed this new android update I lost the root. I wonder if I can get it back or just try to instal same root again? ( I tried root checker and it said my phone wasn't rooted. While I was updating my device I saw a message in the bottom saying device is rooted )
Also another question, will rooting avoid the G2 warranty?
Anyone?
If you updated with ota Root is not guaranteed to always survive, just use ioroot to root your device on kk and yes rooting your device voids warranty

allright ill see about that, thanks!
Ermagerd. OTA is live. Just tested myself by unfreezing software update and checking ota. Large file. 683 mb. C'mon rooty goodness
Sorry, its been years since I last rooted a phone. If I'm rooted I cannot do the OTA right? I would have to have a custom recovery and flash it like that right?

That's correct. You can follow the return to stock method to go back to stock unrooted and ota but doing so may result in you not being able to root as there is no root method for 5.0 yet. Either wait for stock rooted to be posted by one of your awesome devs (should be soon. they are usually quick to offer stock rooted ota pkgs) or go straight stock. Since I read news today that xposed is going live for lollipop soon I am going to wait for stock rooted ota.

I am also thinking to wait for the rooted stock one to be posted... Currently on Illusion rom and its running great.. Some bugs, but can live with it until stock one arrives.. Good advise @BreakingVZW.. Thanks..
I unrooted and factory re-set the phone. Two different root checkers say I am not rooted. However, I get a message that I cannot update because a root is detected!!! Have tried 3 times now. Any help would be greatly appreciated!!!!!

Lol Idk if it will be only a couple of hours. That'd be nice but our devs have lives and do this stuff in their spare time. In theory they SHOULD be able to follow the same method devs from the international versions used to give users their rooted ota updates but sometimes it's just not that easy. This is the first US carrier release for the G3 so there may be security updates that weren't present in the international releases.

You restored stock via flash tools ? That'd be a first I've heard of persistent root after a pure factory reset via that method. Did you get the green pass message when completed and all?
You may want to attempt a 10D flash instead of 10f. I never have issues restoring with 10d

D855 got official lollipop a long time ago, it was the first G3 variant to receive it.

Yes 5.0. But at&t got 5.0.1 if im not mistaking.
Yep it has: http://www.androidpolice.com/2015/0...rly-700mb-d85020f-update-packs-android-5-0-1/
it may be harder for ATT g3 to get a L flashable rom due to lack of KDZ for ATT devices.. where the international users can just split the KDZ and repack into zip.
if someone wants to send me an AT&T g3 I can make one though

So the method of pre-rooting won't work with D850 lollipop BC it uses tot? KitKat for our variant uses tot as well and they still got us a rooted ota 10f update. Most posts I've read about G3 lollipop (lg stock not aosp) have said in order to have root on Lollipop you have to be on KitKat to use the same exploit used on KitKat. Is that not a viable solution anymore? I actually like the lg stock ROM and features. If we can't root the stock g3 rom on lollipop I'm going to have to look into getting a nexus 6 and will sell this. Xposed is apparently up and running well with lollipop and I gotsta has me ma xposed.
How is the 5.0.1 update running? Hope that the D855 version will be releasing soon. I'm on 5.0 V20H version and it's runs great

Don't know. I want to OTA and all but I need root. I use many programs that require root and just not having the ability to remove bloatware is reason enough for me to wait for a rooted OTA. Really hope one of the devs can figure out how to make a flashable OTA zip.

10f had a rom because there was still root on 10f and you could backup system, boot and modem.
someone may have another solution worked out.. or even a tot to pull the files from. but it's not going to be as easy as it was previously due to no public root for L at the moment, the difficulty of getting a tot and lack of KDZ. Unfortunately I only have the T-Mobile version.. otherwise I'd be able to make one for you guys.
Hello,
I have an LG G2 802 international with kitkat 4.4.2
I,ve rooted it two weeks ago using ioroot.
Then i thougt about unrooting so it want cause me problems when installing the new lollipop update theough OTA.
I have two questions:
1- is unrooting through supsersu enough?.
2- the update is still not showing up in system updates, I'm in saudi arabia, will it still showup or is it because i was rooted?
Thanks in advance.
You might have better luck if you posted in the regular G2 forum - this one is specific for the Verizon variant VS980.
As a general guideline, taking an OTA while rooted is a setup for a headache, to many things can go wrong and mess up the update, leaving you with a brick.

Oh, I'm sorry, I was following another post, then went to the forum without realizing it's for the Verizon version.
Thanks for you advice.

Thanks vklexer, I did run the full unroot option in SuperSu, now when I put the device in download Mode, it tell me I'm unrooted
But Lollipop didn't show up yet, that's why I had doubts.
I guess I'll have to wait a couple of days before the update shows up.

I have root and i flashed kdz v30a wik flashtool2014 and everything is ok.
Remember to make an hard reset after the flash so backup everything before
I am currently on d80020c I am rooted. I have latest TWRP installed. I tried to goto the resurrection lollipop but was getting a compatible error.
I was told to load new bootstrap then Rom.
I got the bootstack installed and then got compatible error again and it was then bricked with qsusb.
Am I missing something?
I just want lollipop and cannot get OTA updates unfortunately.
Thanks!

you can't get OTA updates if you have custom recovery
No I understand that. Before I did custom I tried to get OTA updates but I am not registered on att networks because I am on net10. Tried with an att sim with no luck. So I am just wondering what is wrong with my setup now to properly flash.
