[Q] Can i re root lollipop update? - G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

So i finally got the OTA update for lollipop and updated while rooted? I tried stump root because some said it work. Stump root says device is rooted already but its not. Can i just re root with the one click method, or do i need to do something special?

[Q] Root or OTA 4.1.1 update first?

I just got my N7 and will be rooting it. Should I do the OTA update first, then root? Or should I root, then install the update via CWM?
If I do OTA now, then root, will I be on 4.1.1 after the unlock and root?
just update then root, updating doesn't change how root works, and it is a lot easier to update via the OTA than than to flash via CWM

[Q] Reroot

HI! I flashed Slimbean rom on my lg l7 p705. It was a success, then i installed apps for rooted phone but when i try to open them it says that application needs root acces. I also downloaded root checker to check if my phone was unroot, and yes it was unroot, it doesn't have root access. I tried to root it again using framaroot and vroot but no luck. HOW CAN I REROOT MY PHONE?

Sorry I cant give you a link,because I'm on my phone..
Go to google and search SuperSU. Go to his official thread on xda, download flashable zip for the latest version, reboot in recovery and flash
Now you have root access

Cannot root my device

Hi, so i got a little problem here.. the thing is i tried to root my lg g2 sprint ( LS980 ) with io root, but than i noticed i canot be rooted because of the android version i have 4.4.2 ( Build KOT48I.LS980ZVE ) so keep searching and found TowelRoot, and when i installed the app it says my device is rooted , but it really isnt... also looking thru the system files i foind a SU file in the Xbin folder... how can i fix this too root the phone ?
can't root lg g2 sprint zve
i am also facing exactly the same problem plz someone help me...
download root checker and double check if you really are not rooted. If not use the lg flash tool and flash a kdz of a firmware version which can be rooted via ioroot for example
Like Krenol said, use root checker to see if you're actually rooted or not, but if you aren't you may also be able to use Stump Root without reverting back to a different firmware. IOroot didn't work for me on the latest firmware when I got my Verizon G2 but stump root worked for me. I can't remember if I had to use the brute force option or not but its worth a shot.

Stump root says is rooted.. but the SU app tells me the opposite, il try the downgrade
so then how can i flash a firmware?

Rooting lollipop LS980

I think I may have boned myself a bit. I had kitkat 4.4.2 stock rom rooted with stumproot, and I did the OTA upgrade to lollipop. Not suprisingly, apps that need root no longer work. I installed rootchecker and it reports no root access. I installed stumproot again and it says that the device is already rooted. When I open supersu is says there is no supersu binary installed and it cannot install it.
What are my options on how to re-root my phone?
