Update: Yeah never mind, it's just a minor software change from VS98039A to VS9803AA
I'm getting forced to update via OTA. Currently running 5.0.2. Scouring the net, I don't see any mention of a new OTA.
Anyone else getting an update?
Likely just a security update. How big is the OTA?
Backup and update

Hey, I rooted my Lg g2, and I see that there is an update for srpint G2's to get to kitkat, however I am on jellybean. I am not seeing an update for kitkat, and when I manually check it says I am up to date? is this because I rooted, or?

No it isn't because you have root. I wouldn't accept the OTA though. There isn't a native root process for KitKat as of yet. We just have the sneaky pants ninja workaround at the moment bc of the new KitKat security shenanigans. OTAs are sometimes pushed out in waves. When the AT&T OTA pushed I didn't get it until 2 days after it was initially pushed. I'd just keep checking. If you get the "Device is up to date. You can check again in 24 hrs" message you can get around that by going into date and time and manually changing your date to tomorrow and it lets you check again right away.
Also you might want to edit your post title. Spring G2
EDIT: Actually I just found out ioroot25 roots KitKat without the downgrade workaround. Yay XDA devs!!!

you can always try either a)contacting your company and asking them to push the ota or b)depending on which device you have there are roms/kdz/tots to flash kk if you don't want to wait http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2705259

Always assume that any OTA or official update will break root and there is some risk that an update will actually brick your phone.
You should also assume that any OTA or official updates will prevent any known root methods from working in the future.
In short, if you are rooted don't take an OTA and if you think you want to root in the future still don't take an OTA.
One of the first things I do when I root a device is disable the OTA update mechanism so I'll never even see the notification.
Yes, the the new firmware update did break my root. I used towelroot. I have a galaxy tab 4 10.1 sm-t530nu.
Can you guys tell me whats the changelog? I dont want to lose root, but its worth it if its a major update.
Sent from my SM-T230NU using XDA Free mobile app
I updated my SM-T335 today. Changelog just said "Stability improvement"
I just bought this tablet today....didn't even think about the update...now I have to wait to root.
Not necessarily.
Im working on reverting my 10.1 to the prior firmware version. I just need to confirm that this is the appropriate firmware
PDA: T530NUUEU1AND4
OK, I used odin and restored the previous firmware. Ran towelroot again, and all is back to the way it was before the mistake in software update.
I was able to freeze LocalFOTA.apk but these were not there to freeze:
Kies.apk
SyncmIDM.apk
SyncmIDS.apk
My sea variant finally got an ota update to MM (20C) this evening.
Tempting... Except for the part about losing root
How did you root it? I am on build v20b, and i haven't gotten the update yet either.

Actually - I'm still on LP with 10f. I checked LG Bridge several times and have never seen an update, and this is the first time I've seen it on OTA. Just thought I'd mention the fact that the OTA update is out there now for those that haven't noticed yet.

You can't root MM on the G4 unless you have an unlocked bootloader.
I didn't get 20c Ota but I got it when I used lg bridge
I don't know what is the problem with LGBridge, but the speed is low as hell. I have a 20 mbps internet speed connection and it has been downloading for more than 2 hours.
Always the same with every update.
I rooted my T-Mobile LG Leon 5.1.1 using directions in this forum for LG Stylo. Painless. And, of course, almost immediately thereafter, a new OTA roles out. Can't apply it directly, and I can't get FlashFire to apply the OTA update, either. It tries, but fails. No response as yet in the FlashFire thread. Anyone using FlashFire to do this with their LG Leon? Thanks

It could be that since you rooted your phone, it can't apply the update. T-mobile and Metro updates always try to eliminate root...

Yeah...that's the whole point of trying FlashFire. It finagles installation of the OTA update on ROOTED phones w/o either losing root or doing anything to prevent subsequent OTA downloads. I'm looking for anyone who HAS tried that. It's not been tested on LG phones, and I'm the only person I know who's tried it on an LG Leon. W/O success so far.
Hi, i have my Axon 7 (A2017G) for a month now. I got it from gearbest and it came with Marshmallow and no OTA. I updated to Nougat manually using update.zip metohod but i dont know if OTA works now. Can anyone clarify me on that? Thanks in advance

I haven't received any OTA with my phone bought from a local store, had to always do manual updates. I kinda hope that once updating to Oreo the OTA will work properly for me.
I don t expect there will be any more updates via OTA. It was prone to issues.
Enough people brick their phones trying to mod them without having official updates bricking them too.

The OTA system just doesn't work right. As long as you have stock recovery (i.e. you haven't installed TWRP) you will have OTA as broken as everyone else.
The OTA system usually works if you are on the latest version. so, stay on Nougat B09. In not too much time an update will pop up, it will be B10. That update will be the one that allows you to hop to Oreo once it's available (the oreo update should also appear via OTA later on)
Thanks for all your replies

what does that even mean? I don't know anyone who bricked their phones with an OTA. Not even by applying another model update manually, those just lose the signal
