If you modify the ROM you won't be able to OTA. That includes custom recovery, moving, renaming, or otherwise modifying anything in /system.

Thank you for the answer! How to find a phone like the factory? Can I update with lg pc suite?

I tried updating my phone via OTA the other day, but because I had TWRP recovery, when my system installed the updated, it would boot into TWRP, and.... that was basically it, could not update, had to rollback from a backup I took moments before. Then, in a stroke of genius, I used flashify to restore the original recovery and almost bricked my device.
Big tip for anyone in this situation...
When using flashify, use recovery IMAGE not zip, if you use the zip function, it has to boot into a recovery to use it, so the image file is the preferred method, in my opinion.

[Q] Updating Rooted Stock ROM

Hi! I haven't seen any posts about this, and couldn't find any posts either by searching, so I'll ask
I've got an F320S which is rooted. I tried to install a 20MB update, but got "blocked" because of root. I installed custom-recovery in order to try to installing it from there, but with no luck. That resulted in a bootloop. So my question is: How can I update my phone?
Is it also possible to update it to KitKat (if there are any KitKat update for F320S. I've seen it on the internet, so it is available?)
Thanks!

you have a custom recovery installed on your phone, this is why the update fails. the custom recovery is not the same as the stock recovery so the script the update uses to execute the update doesnt work for custom recoveries. you'd have to reinstall the stock recovery to get the update to work. i dont know where you'd get that for the f320s. maybe if there is a guide to go back to complete stock for the f320s then that will also give you back stock recovery. then you can make a copy of the stock recovery image for yourself. also if you have root you can install supersu then go into supersu settings and scroll all the way to the bottom and unroot your device.
I made a backup of the stock recovery before flashing CWM. Wouldn't it be possible to just restore it? I flashed and made a backup with flashify!

I tried to install stock recovery, unroot, and then update, but for some reason, the phone still suspected me for being rooted...

Update to KitKat with KDZ without removing TWRP?

Hi,
I have 4.2 on my LG G2 D802 and KitKat was just launched in my country. My phone is rooted and I got TWRP.
Can I download and install the KDZ-file (KitKat) without removing TWRP?
Do I have to remove any mods I have done to the system? Like G2 Xposed etc?
Please respond, before I do the update (don't want to brick it).
Thank you!

Do not make OTA update with TWRP on you phone ! you will be stuck at recovery !
You cannot flash a kdz without lossing root and twrp !
Flash this ROM and follow the thread so you get kitkat with root and you keep your custom reovery : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2661866

I know not to make an OTA update.
And I don't care about loosing root and twrp. I'm wondering if it will work fine to install the KDZ-file and it will work like a original-phone. Or if I do have to remove TWRP and mods first?
Thank you!

you can flash official KDZ no matter u have twrp or not ! but be aware that your bootloader will be updated and you will never get custom recovery again (till now)
I have searched a bit and from what I have found the phone will not be restored after a KDZ-flash? I want my phone completely wiped and restored to stock when I install KiKat. Can I restore my phone in settings before I install the KDZ-file?
Will this somehow be a problem when I have a rooted phone and TWRP?
Please help me restore my phone to stock and update to KitKat, I want it to be completely stock and with nothing left in it.
Thank you!

[Q] LG G2 Stuck in bootloop after starting update

Hello,
If i run the latest application. update for my LG G2 d802 it goes right in bootloop
I rooted my phone so it stucks in TWRP recovery that is installed with autorec
I use my phone right now because i found a fix for the bootloop but my question is how can i update my device without risking a bootloop.
(Sorry for the grammar im dutch my english is a little bit low.)
I am having the same issue and would like to know your fix for the bootloop.
edit:
OK never mind, I have since fixed my bootloop issue using this fix:

And to answer OPs question:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=56856754&postcount=4124
No OTA with TWRP installed! You have to go back to stock (Link in the second post of this thread), take the OTA and root (& install TWRP) again.

Alternatively, I read you can /freeze/ the update mechanism using a program called titanium backup so it doesn't bother you with it anymore.
Although I am unsure about the exact procedure to do so, sorry.

Questions on upgrading

Hello,
i'm a new user and i have a question for you guys. I have my P8Lite with:
- unlocket bootloader TWRP 3.0.2-0
- rooted
- firmware 5.0.1
(i used to write little scripts for school project that used my phone so i had to access root-locked functionalities)
my friends recently recived and update for their phone but i tried to do it (OTA and local) and didnt work.
Could please someone explain to me why i cant update my firmware? What's keeping me from doing so?
If i need to give up on root/custom recovery i can do that. I just want to know how to get the last stock firmware on my phone.
Thanks a lot.

You need to give up twrp. Also make sure you download correct region/model firmware otherwise it may fail or give you many bugs. Especially balong bug. After updating your phone will automatically unroot and probably your data will be erased. So backup your data to avoid any loss.

Ok, let's say i install the original recovery, i then should be able to update to the latest version.
At that point will i still be able to re-install twrp and re-root?
(I think bootloader should remain unlocked)

After you successfully updated your phone to Android 6.0 you may root it again or install twrp.
Bootloader should remain unlocked. There is no need to lock it.

That's marvelous. I'll do that as soon as i can and i'll post the outcome
It all worked properly, i installed stock recover > OTA update > re-installed custom recovery.
Now i have the lastest update with custom recovery.
I had some troubles with root tho, i made a backup then installed the latest version of SuperSU through TWRP but it soft bricked my phone so i had to restore the backup.
I gave up on root because i dont need it but it would be nice to know what went wrong there.
Anyway it all works fine and i kept my files and apps.
Thanks a lot buddy

download lg bridge on pc and go error recovery. the tool will flash your phone with latest firmware and restore it to factory settings removing all modifications you have done to it.
Will this (LG Bridge) also work for H872?
