Just recently updated my VS980 to 4.4.2 via OTA. All my apps now show they were created or last updated in 1969. What is going on? Even after a restore it still says 1969.
Congratulations sir I believe you have stumbled across time travel, on a serious note there has been an aosp bug similar I'm assuming you are not rooted and do not have a recovery installed though?

I'm rooted but that is all. I didn't mess with custom recovery this time around.

That will be your issue then, Taking OTA with any modifactions to system files will bork your phone even ROOT. I would recommend flashing a Stock KDZ to fix the issue you'll have to do some reading up on the LG Flash tool should be in the Q&A Section and should have the answers your looking for

just picked up the g2 but theres an update do i take it then root it.or does this update break root
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.

Hey guys quick question my n4 is rooted and running cm10.1.3. I never bothered to upgrade to 4.3, so my radio, kernel and bootloader are stock 4.2.2. Is it better to get the ota update and be up on things or flash stock kernel, boot loader and radio for 4.4 when ever there available? Or maybe factory image?

Just flash the stock images for kit Kat when they are available, right now back up all your data

my friend as this will pop up all over the forum the best thing to do is just wait for a rooted version to show up. I did not upgrade my bootloader and I have not had any issues with 4.3 which mind you is a great running OS you should try it.
I dont understand having root then unrooting to flash stock which you obviously dont like since you run cm and then wait to root it all over again to back an upgraded rooted version of cm...

Question on the way for the custom recovery+kernel guys on 4.3 what is the best to upgrade besides wiping your entire phone and flashing the stock images entirely?.
I think i know 2 ways just not sure they are recommended, 1st is flashing stock kernel + returning recovery to stock (should get OTA)
2nd is flashing only the system.img and the bootloader me thinks.
Feel free to verify this.

You make a lot of sense ,its more of curiosity and so I won't brick my nexus. So I can get away with not upgrading my bootloader for 4.4?
What about kernel, do I need to update that for 4.4 or is that judgement call?

you are asking questions that trial and error are going to figure out for us. Kernels of course if you are on a 4.4 rom you would use a 4.4 kernel. Upgrading your bootloader may or may not be needed but we wont know until kitkat starts popping. everyone said you needed to upgrade bootloader for 4.3 but I have never had any issue at all.... Just wait it out and read read read

Not to sure but as long as you're on stock ROM and stock kernel you should be fine although I don't know if custom recovery keeps you from getting update.

You do have to be on stock recovery, stock bootloader for the update to go thru properly otherwise it'll fail.

If you are still on stock rom and you just have custom kernel+recovery, U could do the following for not using any current apps or files.
- Wait till your favorite Toolkit (e.g Wug) get updated for 4.4 and then download the official factory rom.
- Extract it and keep all separate zips, like radio, bootloader,system etc.
- Unroot and flash stock kernel
- Flash all previous zips, EXCEPT user.img which will delete everything
- Reroot and U r ready to flash again custom kernel
Maybe a noob question but my n4 is rooted. Will this cause any problems withe the update?

Hello,
My phone has already had the radio upgraded to latest so it can run 4.3. I am rooted, have TWRP 2.6.3.0, will I be ok to flash the PA 4.4 and gapps? I keep posts about folks losing their sdcard data and their custom recovery being removed (not sure how!).
Thanks.

I'm sure that radio doesn't affect your ability to flash certain ROMs so you shouldn't have a problem flashing 4.4. As far as losing SD data not sure how that's happening.

If I ever get an OTA update (almost unheard of on AT&T), what do I need to do before I install it to not mess up my phone? It's currently just rooted on the stock ROM.

you get a nice recovery bootloop

just use the update tool on the pc and plug your phone in and even if you
have a custom recovery it'll update because the update tool does it in download mode
What does "upgrade recovery" do in LG Mobile Support Tool? I tried googling it and couldn't find anything. I rooted and installed TWRP, and the LG Mobile Support tool says I don't have an update available but I'm only on the D80010d, not D80010o

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

Once you have rooted and installed TWRP you can use TWRP to perform a complete backup of your stock ROM. That way if anything goes wrong you can restore the backup.

Okay. So, you can download AutoRec V2 from the Play Store for your exact model number and use the app to make sure you have the KitKat bootloader or install the KitKat bootloader. Check it out here:

AutoRec does not seems to work on my phone. It stucks on loki...installing.
Also, I can not even install a custom recovery for some reason. Tried a few methods but my phone just gives me an error like Secure Booting Error! Cause : boot certification verify but then boots out normally.
This has been a problem with LG Devices. Look through the LG G2 GENERAL FORUM and the Q & A FORUM for a solution. There have been several threads created because of this issue. I'll see what I can find for you.
