Hi everyone,
I got a popup window notifying me about a system update that was ready to install on my Verizon LG G2. I chose not to install it, but it said I can install it later. I am rooted and I am not sure what this update is for, possibly a fix for the root exploits. Anyone else seeing this?
EDIT: Everyone is confirming that it does not break root, but if you have already installed TWRP then DO NOT ACCEPT THE UPDATE.

I got it too.... Couldn't find any info on it. I did the update and in "about phone' I still show rooted. It is still 4.2.2 so I am assuming it was a minor software issue/security fix.

Please confirm that you did the system update and can still use root apps. Also, which root method did you use. Maybe they patched the Chinese method, but not the newer method yet!
I'm getting the notification too. I won't be updating til I find out what it does.

Wow, pretty ballsy of you to accept the OTA without knowing if it would break root or custom recovery.
I hope there not trying that crap already

We have custom recovery. Why on earth would anyone do a OTA .. ever... again.... I have never. There will be a ROM based on Stock available that will include every GOOD thing from every OTA that is pushed... Patience is a virtue.

No customer recovery because TWRP is broken currently.

So how do you stop it from popping up the notification. I don't mind waiting, but I don't see how to dismiss the notification?

The Newest recovery has ADB option and is considered safe for now. My point is that why would anyone accept an OTA when it is obvious that withing a short period of time there is not only going to be a fully fixed recovery plus Custom ROM's based on the latest Stock ROM with the OTA included. Once you Root and install recovery, you kiss the carrier and their attempts at "Updates" goodbye.

Freeze the System Update App in System with Titanium.
I did the update and still have root access.

Notice anything change?
i haven't rooted yet, so i told it to install later. i'll root tonight so that i know i can have it, sounds like the update doesnt take root away, it could keep you from rooting if you arent yet tho..
Oh crap, did the update and it looks like I'm soft bricked(?). I can only get to TWRP, and can't reboot the phone (always goes back to TWRP, no matter what I do, even after Factory Reset). PLEASE HELP!!
(Verizon G2)
I'm not sure if I can attribute this to the ota update but my wifi performance has been really glitchy. Constant disconnect/reconnect.
I can't say it's due 100% to the ota because wifi will occasionally get spotty due to the sheer amount of wifi APs and traffic at my workplace.
Anyone else experience this? BTW I'm rooted.

I'm in the same boat, stuck in TWRP loop won't reboot. Downloading files to get back to stock, so will try to put into download mode once everything is downloaded (2.3gb file is taking a while)...I'm sure it'll be resolved soon enough. Will report back if it works.

First, plug phone into computer, and install updater software from the phone that is on the device in 'Installer Mode'. Take the download on the PC, then follow directions below, and you can still have root after.

Hi again,
I installed the upgrade assistant in installer mode but for some reason it is not picking up the new NE9 update on my computer. See attached print screen. Very strange.. It sees the update on my phone to download though.:cyclops: Do you know why this is and how I can get it to see the update on the upgrade assistant as you mentioned?
Kind Regards
Can you explain why you want the update so bad? You do realize that rooting and accepting official otas is completely contradictory, correct? OTAs are generally what fix things like what towelroot exploits. If you accept official OTA, you will likely lose root.
But can't I just re root after the ota? I guess the reason I want the Ota because I heard of camera enhancements and stability fixes

No. OTA have patches for known security flaws as well. The flaw that towelroot relies on is closed after the new OTA. Meaning, no more root.
edit: in this case I believe folks have figured out a work around for keeping root with the update. In general though, if you value root and what it provides you do not accept official releases.

@ks3rv3rg I believe the links mentioned above provide a workaround for the Root to be kept after updating.
As for the problem nick, I can't help you there. I haven't personally take it as I see taking OTA's is silly with a rooted phone you can modify to be much more. Perhaps someone else who has done it will chime in...
Thank you both for your perspectives.. Plus, I can always just wait for a ROM that currently has the update installed.

I think you are referring to my safestrap flashable OTA zip file. I'm going to keep that one in my back pocket for the next OTA since the kernel swap worked.

I'm on version 1.1.14 and can see there is an update, but when I click on 'Update', nothing happens. It briefly says, "Checking for updates" and then does nothing.

App Alet popup

"Your device has been compromised
Because of a new security policy
intruduced in version 5.0 knox is not

I have same problem, cannot use my Gear S3 now, funny is that S health works at non Samsung rooted devices :/
Some say to uninstall s health and install a previous version.. to open it and set it up and then to update the app
Check your knox. Its probably 0x1.
Knox is tripped ofc after root, i tried to unistall app but i cannot get it unistall, tried app from play store and link2sd to unistall it but it still there so if i try to flash older version i get error saying that file is corrupted.
Flashing official ROM using Odin does not trigger Knox (at least it shouldn't). I have the same problem after flashing official 7.0 ROM and my Knox Counter is NOT triggered (it is 0x0000).
I cannot uninstall or downgrade S Health since it's a "default app".
Any workarounds?

If knox is triggered then:
- make a root
- remove S health with Titanium Backup
- install older version S health before version 5
- launch app, sync account and then update to new version of S health
Working, tested one hour ago, i had this problem after flashing and rooting 7.0 stock rom.

I had to try three versions. Two kept saying they were corrupt when trying to install. I managed to install the third but, when I try to sync, I keep being told the server is temporarily offline. I suppose that may be true but I doubt it.
And now whenever I try to open the app, it freezes and the only way to open it is to clear the data in the app settings.
So I think it's back to Marshmallow for me for now. I need S Health for my Gear S3.

Have you checked if it's tripped or are you just guessing? Are you on your phones official firmware or did you flash different firmware in Odin?
I think it's not compatible with N.
I flashed MM after trying RR, and then it worked just fine. Strange though, Samsung should be able to get their apps working.

Just got a notification tonight about downloading and updating my Sprint HTC 10 to 2.51.617.2.
Has anyone received this update yet? I'm unlocked with Magisk root and don't want to go thru the update if it's going to break Safetynet (again!).
I got the notification too, but I have not allowed it to go in so far.
The update is actually 2.51.651.2 and is July 2017 security update. I did it yesterday without issues.

And "Performance enhancements" too, whatever they may be, as it had no further details on them.
For me, it broke the fingerprint sensor. It now works to unlock the phone only within the first 5 minutes or so after turning it off. After that, I have to use the pattern. It's like the sensor gets disabled during low-power suspend, but turning the screen on doesn't wake it back up. This started immediately after I received the update.

I tried everything from Sprint's based release. Fingerprint sensor issues everytime. On Leedroid's latest release. It's not firmware related, it's software. Something Sprint put in is messing with fingerprint sensor from sleep.
