I got a sim unlocked sprint version of Lg ls980 Lg 2 from ebay and the phone was rooted and was on software version ZV7 since then i had updated the device twice through OTA and currently its running on ZVA software version, and i guess the root access is gone now and even i checked with the apps on the market it says device not rooted but the super SU app is still there in the phone which I am unable to uninstall.
NOW THE ACTUAL PROBLEM IS I AM UNABLE TO GET THROUGH THE ZVC UPDATE WHICH I AM GETTING FROM A LONG TIME, I ALMOST 4 TIMES WOULD HAVE DOWNLOAD THE ZVC UPDATE FILE OF 618 MB AND AFTER THE DOWNLOAD THE PHONES ASKS TO INSTALL AND REBOOT AND AFTER THE REBOOT ALSO THE PHONE STILL SHOWS UP THE SAME SOFTWARE VERSION AND KERNEL. IAM FED UP NOW HOW DO I UPDATE MY PHONE TO KITKAT NOW.
Hi guys, I got my LG G2 a few months ago and it was my first android phone. Since I always jailbroke my apple devices I decided to root my lg g2. Everything worked fine until last week when I was prompted to install a software update. I thought this might mess up the phone since it was rooted so I postponed it until later in the day to give me time to research, but I forgot to postpone the update again and it went through at the scheduled time. Now when I turn my phone on, the lg logo is displayed, and then I get a boot certification verify error. I don't really know what that means but I can't do anything, no recovery, no download mode. I started to follow this tutorial but am stuck at what files to download. I do not know if I have the 10b, 11a, or 12b variant, and I can't find a way to check it without turning the phone on, which I can't do. I'm really lost at what to do at this point, I can't follow the only guide that might fix my phone. Is there another way to solve this issue or find which variant I have? Would verizon accept it back to fix or replace it since it's been rooted? I've read some people saying they unrooted their phone and then returned it to the carrier, is it possible to do that in my situation? I really need some help guys.
TBH: I would call Verizon, and tell them the phone was bricked by the update- hope they don't notice it was rooted when they warranty it. Problem is, if they do you get charged full amount for phone. I'd consider if you have insurance to just claim it on insurance.
try download lg support tool from lg website http://www.lg.com/uk/support/software-manuals
plug the device and wait for the software to recognize ur version.
I downloaded and installed it, but it won't recognize by phone. I have installed the drivers for it
ok.
try to follow this guide http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2681089
and the files download from here:http://downloads.codefi.re/autoprime/LG/LG_G2/VS980/Stock_Firmware/10B_Partitions
lets try this virsion and see what happend..
download the 10B zip file and the dll file too http://downloads.codefi.re/autoprime/LG/LG_G2/VS980/Stock_Firmware
now it doesn't boot at all, not even to the lg logo. Additionally the partitions don't show up in ubuntu any more. I guess i'm completely screwed now?
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!
Just received off eBay a G6 H872 with ver. 7.0. I am running it on a AT&T mvno. The thing it has all the Tmobile stuff, before I could disable automatic checks it downloaded an update which I believe is ver. 8.0. Alert says touch to restart and complete update. I first want to get down the process to root before upgrading, and because of anti rolll back, yada yada I obviously don't want it to update.
Is it possible to delete the downloaded update?
If the phone restarts for any reason at all is the update gonna get installed, or doe the update only run if you select to restart from the update notification?
