[Q] rooted d802 update question

Hey ive got a rooted d802 running the original rooted 4.2.2 firmware it came with. Right now ive got a notification for a software update about 70mb large. It doesnt specify what the update is. I'm hoping it might be kitkat. My question is can i update my rooted phone without any problems?

No, when rooted never install OTAs as it can lead to incompatibilities that could get you stuck in bootloop etc.
install a custom recovery(i prefer TWRP: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2469995) then choose a ROM, ensuring that it is D802 compatible (should say in the thread). The ROM will usually be updated to the latest available android version, if you dont want any tweaks go for a pure stock ROM:http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2521152.
Ensure that when changing android versions that you are backed up (Titanium Backup:https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.keramidas.TitaniumBackup&hl=en) and make sure you follow the instructions on the ROM thread accurately.

you must download tot rom file then flash it using flashtool

I'm a complete newb concerning flash/installing software and especially reverting back to 4.2.2.. I have the D802 International version (bought it off Amazon) its the UK edition I believe. I'm trying to find the correct firmware but they are all so cryptic I'm worried I'll download the wrong one ( I have the 32GB version) and brick my phone..
Is there any kind of reliable guide I can use to do this process? Or better yet some kind of automated piece of software?
Or would it be best to just wait for LG to release an update to fix it?
If it wasn't such a big issue ( I use my headphones every day constantly..) I would wait but I don't think I can..
Any information would help.

rooting my S5 with new Marshmallow update

I have a S5 with the new Marshmallow update via the Telus network in Canada. I had root for the Lollipop but took it out so I could update without problems. Lo and behold the Marshmallow update went in without a hitch but when I tried to flash TWRP with ODIN it didn't work. Am I missing something or does rooting the Marshmallow update require a new TWRP version? I used TWRP and SUPER SU last time to root Lollipop and al I did was put SUPER SU in a folder and flashed TWRP and then installed SUPER SU with TWRP and I was rooted. I just want the easiest step by step way to root my S5 again with the Marshmallow update. My provider is Telus from Canada.

Which model S5?
Unless MM locked your bootloader, TWRP 3.0.0.0 and SuperSU 2.71 beta are what I used to root MM
ODIN 3.10.7

SM-G900W8VLU1DPD3 Baseband Version Model #SM-G900W8 Build# MMB29M.G900W8VLU1DPD3 These are all the pertinent numbers. Do you have the steps needed to unlock and then ROOT. I'm not sure if the bootloader is locked. Hopefully you can help me get rooted again.

I wasn't thinking when I first read your post. If you"re looking for the MM Firmware I think I have what you are after. I got it from the S Mobile site, so if the guys don't mind me posting it with this reply here it is. I just tried to upload it and it's too big so if you have a way please tell me how and I'll get it to you. Even zipped it's like 1.2 GB.

I actually updated through Samsung Kies. And re-rooted. Though I haven't found an ASOP ROM that works with the MM bootloader

Dude, you have to read some basic things to understand, but to give you a direction:
Here's a generell list of guides and fixes. It has a "root"- and a "recovery"- section. Both are absolutely necessary. Go here first.
Here's a list of custom roms. There are stock-roms, stock-based-roms and completely custom-roms. I prefer stock-based-roms because the devs added some extra features and you have full driver support.
I hope this helps a little bit.

i have read some of there before, but i'm yet to understand it, because my previous phone was nexus 4, installing roms and such was fairly easy, and with this LG G2, there are complicated things even as flashing roms, not all models the same and such, and im afraid to brick my phone because of that, i also have a D801 model - D80110C and i have heared that there are different version of things and such.
anyway, what will be the best way to flash stock lollipop / stock based roms and later flash back to 4.2.2 if something goes wrong? thanks

I just did this, in my experience the best way is
1) updating to stock lollipop
2) rooting via oneclickroot
3) flashing twrp via AutoRec (correct version)
4) flashing twrp 3.x blastagator via old twrp
5) flashing desired rom
There is one caveat though, the root process will install the correct (old) SuperSU that works with AutoRec, but google play may update it beforehand so that AutoRec cannot work. My fix was to install AutoRec before the root and then go into airplane mode and do it all in one go. Also, you should always check if you got the correct carrier version of your software.
Going back to kitkat? This should not be necessary imo, but if you mess something up you can always flash the stock .kdz files (lp or kitkat) via download mode and lg flash tool 2014. This phone is almost unbrickable.
Hope this helps and after years of G2 roms I can finally give something back.

do you have a D801 model? i cannot update to lollipop through normal fota or lg pc suite, it doesnt see anymore updates
i have software version of D80110c, what are the last letters means in it? C/G/ and such,
and also how should i update to stock lollipop rom without bricking my phone? it seems that there is alot of room to ****up. thanks =]

I have d802 and could always update it to LP via LG software update in the phone settings.
10/20/30 is android version, 30 being lollipop. 30a/b/c/d is revision or carrier version I think.
I am not sure about D801, but if I was you, I would try to update to LP via official LG update, otherwise try to root+recovery with your existing kitkat (search the forums) or flash LP kdz from download mode (LG flash tool). Always make sure it works for d801 and your software version.
Then I would install a fast custom rom cause stock LP is rather slow.

i tried to update through lg, but it showed me that i am "UP TO DATE" might be because i bought it from someone who bought it in the US in cincenti bell ( and i dont live in the US, or close to it), the phone have a cincinetti bell rom, so i guess that why i cant update it through the phone like that. and i have a jelly bean 4.2.2 , not even kitkat. it is possible to flash a lollipop kdz just like that even if i have stock never tuched 4.2.2 ? thanks alot

On which rom you are?
If its some emui just search somewhere in here for firmware finder tutorial i used it to update to 380 (i had root and unlocked bootloader) and if you are on cm you shoud have backups (atleest if you did everything like all tutorials said) and just restore back if you don't know search
If you are on any other rom look up post from which you flashed it... Usually there is written how to get back

go to huaweis support site and find your phone. under downloads they have stock rollback package and stock firmware. download both and you will find a guide inside the downloads. then you're back to stock

Hi,
Right now i am on stock EMUI 5.0. My version is VNS-L21C432B370 but i have battery problems which i think B380 can solve but since i am rooted and with unlocked bootloader i cant OTA update.
I think getting the VNS-L21C432B380 full ROM i can update with 3 buttons method but i cant seem to find that ROM nowhere.
Can someone help?
Thank you

Hey,
I have the VNS-L21C432B380 full rom (stock) with an unlocked bootloader and unrooted. If there is a way to backup it without unlocking b/l and rooting, PM me and I'll get you sorted. Cheers!
