hello all. I have a stock rooted sprint LG G2. I am currently not receiving any OTA updates and I assume it is because I am rooted. I would like to know what my options are to get the stock Kit Kat update. I believe I need to get back to a root state but I cannot seem to find a straight forward method of doing that. I never flashed a rom so I hope I don't need to reflash a stock rom just to re-root.
Just because you are rooted does not mean that ota won't show up, it just takes some time(a couple of days maybe even a week or two)

I havent even received the spark update yet. every time i run the update LS980ZV7_01_TO_ZV8_13, it appears to complete but then the same update prompt comes up again. I've ran this update about 10 times.
Well have you rebooted

Update then root or you'll run in to issues.

Agreed. And be sure to read the root guide very carefully as there are some nuances with rooting and flashing custom recoveries right now.

If you are running a custom ROM then you are good to go already. Malladus includes the update. The issue comes from taking the update after rooting, or especially after flashing a custom recovery.

Several reports say taking the update after root/recovery causes a recovery bootloop....but not taking it shouldn't affect your current rom.

Hi xda people I have a problem I dropped nexus 4 about 6 months ago and sold to workm8 which he fixed himself for 90quid. Anyway he ota updated to 4.3 fine it was locked and unrooted then he got bootloop in 4.4.2 ota update so I had a look for him. I was able to use wugs toolkit and stock to unroot to 4.2.2 which works then I tried locking bootloader and ota to 4.3 which bootlooped. I also try to revert ro stock and unlock to 4.4.2 but same any ideas? Out of ideas im guessing maybe nand block is not writable maybe? I did drop 3 ft. I googled but only found issues with nexus 7 ota

Did you wipe after you flashed the KitKat factory images?
Does the phone display the proper baseband and imei?
Edit I tried to wipe data and cache thru stock recovery after ota update to 4.4.2 still not 100% from wugs
Not sure I presume I did. I definetly did wipe before going to kitkat by booting custom recovery from wugs and then reverting to stock 4.2.2 I only tried ota update from there. I think when I then tried 4.4.2 same way that 4.2.2 worked I may not of. Guess ill try again at some point but he just wanted to play with new toy so I just put on 4.2.2 for now.
So is the ota flaky as I thought all data would be kept anyway. Thanks for advic3
Imei and baseband show on bootloader but not on hand at mo so dont know baseband it on.
I also tried sideloading stock rooted 4.4.2 zip but same bootloop and sure I wiped after and tried again may be 2rong getting confused I tried for few hours lol

Dunno if it's part of the problem, but remember flashing different versions, make sure that you are using the correct radio.
You can find the IMEI and Baseband in Settings>About phone

Yeah I remember I upgraded or did I downgrade radio about 6 month ago. Ill get the baseband info and get back to you

You can update with root but if you custom recovery you will bootloop

The OTA update will refuse to install as you are rooted.... get the LG support tool and then run the update from there... it will stilll install despite being rooted....

Actually you can ota with root as long as you have not modified anything that means no mods, no xposed, no custom recovery and root may or may not survive 50/50

Yeah, I found that same method earlier and it worked for me, but thanks for mentioning it nonetheless
In currently running stock firmware but rooted. I'm in the 3 network in the UK. I checked the other night to see if an update was showing and nothing, and I've been checking periodically over the last few weeks.
Tonight I thought I would give it a go and I am currently downloading a 548.36mb update. Does anyone know what this is??

are you running the 4.4.2 update already?? cause if so it might be bug fixes
Nope. I'm running stock 4.2.2. I didn't think u would get it as I an rooted.
Went to install it and obviously that's where NY excitement became frustration. I've uninstalled Xposed and done what I can to unroot the device without a PC and an attempting again.
Is there a way to unroot the phone without a PC?

if you have a custom recovery than you need a pc or alot of looking around for the flashable zips of stock recovery but they have flashables of the 4.4.2 update that are pre-rooted so id say flash that when you can
This does not belong in the Development Section; moved here...Thanks.
I’m cant update to KK.
I have two Razr M phones
The old one was running KK, since yesterday I rooted it and unlocked the bootloader!
I have a new xt907 which was running JB, rooted, Safestrap was installed .
I can’t update the new phone to KK.
I read every thread on update problems
I uninstalled Safestrap
I tried to flash every version of fastboot files with RSD lite and even the Universal script generator , which worked fine on my old phone when I upgraded to KK.
What do I try next?
