I've got an unlocked LS980 G2 that's been flashed to the Boost Network. Currently running KitKat 4.4.2 , but when I proceed with install the phone resets, appears to install the update slowly till about half-way then skips straight to the end. After restarting itself, it's still running 4.4.2 and says no updates are available.
The phone was previously rooted, but I performed a full unroot via SuperSU, factory reset and confirmed via Root Checker. Any idea what I'm doing wrong here? Help me please XDA!
Are you sure the update was for zvg? Could have been an update for zvc, happened to me. I had to tot to zvg(lollipop).

Well, I've been messing with this since yesterday. I was once rooted via Kingo, but unrooted it a few weeks back.
SUA:
Tried the Verizon SUA on my Windows 8.1 desktop and it failed multiple times in even finding the phone. It never showed up in the window.
Moved to a naked Win 7 laptop and after installing all drivers, it ran VZW SUA and again, didn't list phone in the SUA window.
After multiple attempts at each, the OTA update showed up.
Downloaded OTA without trouble, but but after displaying the installation screen, a black box showed up and automatically rebooted to the existing 4.2.2. That error message was:
ERR: 0x1117008
While attempting to do OTA again, I checked the status button on the notification window and see its current upgrade status there. Specifically:
Status
Name: LG_VS980_12B_TO_24A
Status: Update Failed
Code: 402
Date: 19 Apr, 2014 EDT
Time: 07:25:53 AM
Somewhere in another window, I did see the phone suggesting that it was still rooted. I ran RootChecker and it says otherwise, but I'm assuming that my Root/Unroot process removed something that the Verizon software package is looking for as a key to being rooted.
I'd gladly skip the OTA and just do a full package upgrade via the VZW SUA if I could in fact get that to make the phone and software upgrade appear in the window itself. Hope this detailed info helps me and others who may be having similar troubles.
Any insight on where to go next?

Did you delete anything off your phone with titanium backup or something? Any uninstalling of system apps?

I'm sure I pulled some bloatware at some point, but I wasn't too worried as all of it seemed to come back in after I did a hard reset.
Assume something like that is the problem, though. Thx.

BTW, if I did remove stiff it was probably with ROM Toolbox.

It's quite possible that could be the reason.

Have you tried manually doing a factory reset using kdz or tot method? I tried just choosing factory reset under settings on my phone and the OTA still did not work. I got it to work using the TOT method listed as a sticky in the LG G2 section. Once I went back to 12b stock with this method the OTA worked just fine. Try it and if you have problems give a holler. I get your frustration as I went through it too haha.

Are you running the Xposed framework? If so, uninstall from within the app and try again.
Not sure if your problem is the same as mine but when the OTA first appeared last week I had problems upgrading over wifi. I tried 3 times to install the OTA but all attempts failed (OTA downloaded successfully, phone reboots, and then the install fails with a similar error code). Switching off wifi and installing the OTA over 4G worked on the first try.

Hey, I have a LG D855, and I'm rooted on A6NL D855 V10G. My phone suggested to OTA update to V10I. Now I want to know if it's safe to do so. And if that's the case, what would happen to my root? I'd actually be glad to be rid of my root since I think it's lagging my device. So, what exactly would happen if I updated? Anybody with experience?
Would think although showing an ota when you download it it won't install as it will detect your root. In order to update you will have to return to unrooted state. A search will show a couple of threads instructing how to.
From what I understand, as long as you haven't made any changes within the system folder or installed a custom recovery, the OTA should install just fine. Worst case is if anything has been changed, it will tell you and it won't install. But yes, you will lose root once it is installed.
root and ota should be ok.
but be very careful if your g3 is bumped!! if you had installed bump! on your device, an ota update fails and the reboot always ended in the recovery. i tried almost erverything - no way out. i had no chance to reboot into the system!!
only flashing back to stock had fixed the problem (incl. loosing all personal data).

When u are rooted, it will download the new update (ota), but it will give a error when it installs. You have to update via pc.

Just had this happen to me on LG G3 for AT&T
Was rooted, got prompted to install the update, I kept declining until it stopped asking.
Then my phone died, after plugging it in and restarting my phone, it instantly jumped into the update window with no other options.
It updated automatically, and it didn't stop or error because of my root. I'm on 4.2.2 now, most up-to-date version on AT&T.
To make it clear: I'm rooted with TowelRoot, NOT with Bump!
Hi guys,
I'm having an issue upgrading my S5 to lollipop. After I download the update, I hit install now and then the phone reboots.. then it immediately boots back up and gives me an error saying there was an error installing the update. I was previously rooted and I unrooted with SuperSu.
Is there an easy way around this or should I just upgrade through odin or something? If this is the case can someone quickly link me to a tutorial to do this? I'm a little rusty.
Thanks,
Ota
I had same issue I used Verizons Firmware repair then I did the update thru Verizons Firmware updater on my pc then work perfect, I kept getting update fail with the dead Android then I used this method and worked, I was rooted so I unrooted first after Uninstalling busybox.
Hey guys I'm on 4.4.2 and I used towel root to root and I did the process to flash a rom. Well when I was rooted I unrooted on Supersu on the stock rom and I updated. Today I tried to update to Verizon's OTA to fix bluetooth and I can download it OTA and install it. It boots into recovery boot and then it loads. It shows the Android guy laying down and the Error wording. When the phone boots back up it says Sorry, there was an error updating your galaxy s5 Verizon. It's been doing this all day and I really want to update to Lolipop.
Same Issue, any solutions?
I have the exact same problem, and under similar conditions. Towel Root worked for a while, but an updated unrooted my phone, now TR doesn't work anymore. So, I'm back to stock, with this Verizon bluetooth update failing everyday for what seems like an eternity.
Hi! I am having major issues with my s4 i337 after switching from att to tmobile. The phone was unlocked so I took it upon myself to unlock it. It is unlocked but sometimes or rather most of the time does not pick up the network. When it does have data connection, it is Edge. I flashed the NC1 to root my phone, then reflashed to NJ4 (to unlock) but now nothing works. No wifi, camera fails, no multitasker, no voice assistant. Please help!!!!! I don't know what to do. I should have never unrooted it to unlock. I should have paid the $35 to get an unlock code. Can I fix this?
I have tried multiple APN settings,
Tried reflashing what I found online as att official firmware but it fails on ODIN.
So reflashed to NJ4, it is a bit laggy as well. Tried wifi which is greyed out, Camera still shows failed, pressing the home button to open multitasker and voice assistant brings up a blank grey screen. Phone is no longer connected as a mass storage device, only charges and can connect to ODIN.
I have attempted to factory reset which doesn't go through, unroot through SU which gets stuck on uninstalling and even trying to do an emergency recovery on Kies where it fails and gets stuck on kies failure mode.
I am on 4.4.4
I'm not sure what you mean by re flash to nj4, but have you flashed the nb1 tar? http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=50912149

I guess I was following outdated information for rooting. =[ Which was dated 2013.... Should have sensed something was wrong.
I flashed this and it worked perfectly as you suggested! THANK YOU SO MUCH. No more sleepless nights combing through forums, thanks to you! Everything works and is back to normal, I was about to just throw away this phone thinking I permanently broke it. AGAIN MANY THANKS! I'm scared to root it now.
Although I have one more question, if you could please answer.
After booting and everything working, in the notification, it says unauthorized access and to restart to reset changes made, if I dismiss it, will this fix be permanent and not revert to the unworkable state it was in? When I reboot manually?

It doesn't really matter since you can root the device in either case. The rootable nb1 can be directly rooted. The other one, you'll have to update to nc1 to root. Flashing with odin, you will lose and will have to re-root. Also, see "Index All things AT&T...." by Gutt13 in the General Forum

ODINing to NB1 should definitely help, but as far as mobile data if it still isn't working I thought i read somewhere that T-Mobile needs the AWS bands or something and you'll have to follow the process to enable those. There's a thread somewhere in the General section to do it on 4.4
