Get SuperSU Pro from the Play Store, tick OTA Survival in the settings and update away. Did the same today and I kept root.

You still have to confirm you want to update, so don't worry about it downloading the OTA.
And yes, you must buy it. I'm not going to talk about illegal stuff here.
And I'm sure it works, because I just said I did the same today. From 10a to 10f with a D802 international, I kept the root.
Even if you did lose root, who cares? Just run IOroot again and you have it back.

What is new on the update?

You can use OTA rootkeeper
it's free
*edit (typo correction + more info)
By the way I just got the OTA and restored the root with the same app

NEVER take an OTA if you do not have stock recovery!!
I'm afraid this is a hard lesson for you. Maybe flashing a .kdz will fix your phone.

I don't see any difference at all, it was already blazing fast.
So far I can see it added "Do you know?" and it moved the settings cogwheel in the notification area a little more to the left instead of it being centered. Haven't noticed anything else.

Just make sure you have stock recovery, root doesn't matter.

Is it possible to install the stock recovery over trpw

Well, in my device it fails and it says that it wont update because it's rooted! :|
I don't fell like erasing everything with the stock rom, just to do a minor update... When LG releases kitkat, I'll do it.
Or, is there any quick unrooting method that doesn't involve to erase the whole device?

You can try installing SuperSU from the Play Store, let it remove other root apps if it asks you to. Then in the settings you can tick full unroot. Maybe that works?
Otherwise don't bother updating and do it when KitKat is released like you said, I don't think this update is worth flashing a kdz.

A Little Testing - FrankenPop

IF YOU UPGRADED TO 5.1 ALREADY THIS IS NOT FOR YOU

tldr;
If Lollipop can run without Lollipop bootloader/partition table then you can have rooted Lollipop and keep ability to downgrade.

Second?
Edit: So we actually tried this but Mofo didn't like the unrooted Lollipop image. We were able to upgrade and downgrade the things FirstEncounter was able to. Perhaps JulesJam's image would work.
After reflashing ComputerFreek's image my phone is 100% back to normal.

Someone is always willing lol, but in this case I sold my immediate backup phone so I'll be waiting. Thank you very much Matt for jumping in.

waiting to see if thermonuclear war breaks out or these two just get rooted lollipop. lol

I've been able to upgrade and downgrade boot, recovery, fsg, and modem. I haven't tested radio, but 5.1 works fine with the existing radio so far.
I'm currently uploading my modem.img that was patched with the OTA files (since it didn't come in the 5.1 image), along with the rest of the files needed to upgrade to 5.1.

fastboot. I edited the post with a link to the files and commands needed.
Doesn't include the system.img, so hold off until I get a proper rooted image uploaded.

I tried with both stock and a rooted one, works great so far.

It's a shame I jumped ship and took the OTA early. Looks like I may be needing a warranty replacement soon.

This is the unrooted ext4 image I made from the sparsechunks. If FirstEncounter's rooted image works then there is no need for me to root this one. I am not sure mine is the right size or not.

From the posts on this thread, it doesn't look like firstencounter posted a rooted image. I'm flashing now. Could someone give me a link to a rooted image to test?

Still uploading, it'll be a little while.

My US997 is rooted. I was thinking I must have to do a factory reset / flash kdz / reflash twrp & root / restore from backup?

Anyway to revert from Oreo bootloader locked screen to Nougat style one?

Short of reverting to Nougat that is -- Is there a way to get rid of the new-style bootloader-locked screen that's the first thing you see on start-boot? I'd like to replace it with the Nougat style that allows you to hit a key and go right past it. I thought I'd seen a thread on how to do that here but if anyone knows, much appreciated.
Thanks in advance.
Oh yes -- It's a oneplus 5 and basically running that latest ob18 + NoLimits.

You can just dirty flash OOS and it'll get updated again, since the OOS zip also contains the firmware (of which the bootloader is a part).

If that's the case, then you can save the attached zip which has the new bootloader from OB18, in case you want to revert.

Question Issue updating to 1.1.2 OTA

Hey everyone, I am having an issue where my phone will not update to the 1.1.2 even when I have removed magisk and also disabled all modules. I am on the GL version and have not found an OTA update to sideload as of yet only the EEA version. Any ideas? I reallt want to update so I can root 1.1.2 but obviously at this point I have no access to the OTA. The error is "Installation will continue when device isn't being used. To install now, tap Resume." I press resume then it says Installation problem. Any help is greatly appreciated.
