Successful 4.4 Update?

My AT&T LG G2 is rooted and has the stock recovery and stock ROM and I don't have Xposed installed. I'm curious if anybody else with the same setup has updated to 4.4 successfully with no brick. Thanks in advance for sharing.

My phone gives me "phone suspected in rooting, update not available for rooted devices" I'm also rooted on stock recovery and rom

I wonder if Voodoo will help. I might give it a shot later.

Edit: Voodoo does nothing. I got the "Can not update because phone is rooted error".

Exact same setup and received no problems and still rooted. Had to uninstall Xposed and all modules beforehand.

No It will NOT WORK. I just Flashed back to stock (Flashing Tool.. I know its a Pain and loose all your data) , Chat with AT&T to push 10q and KITKAT (if youre lucky, and if you Don't need root for time being and can wait for someone to make Kitkat root).
Or someone in another thread says.. Once you're on 10q , Root it and update to kitkat manual way and Root sticks. (but your mileage varies)
for me.. I got a great Rep on At&t side.. who pushed the 10q and waited till I updated and then Pushed the Kitkat.. Almost half hour + still this was her last statement on chat. sometimes at&T amazes me.
"At&t Rep: You too Thank you! It has been great chatting with you, you're awesome MYNAME HERE. I truly wish you the best and you have a fantastic rest of your day "

What did you tell her your problem was? Im stuck in the same boat, i just did a factory reset and still can't because it suspects me of rooting. I dont want to tell them that lol. And you're talking about the chat on ATTs website?

Restore to the stock image using the LG flash tool (removes root). Then go online and get them to push the updates. Did it earlier today. There's a video on youtube from rootjunky that will walk you through the restore.

Have to update to Q root then get them to push C (KitKat) I went back to stock rooted that's what I did now I'm on KitKat with root no problem

Visual Voice Mail apk

Was wondering if anyone that was rooted would upload their VVM apk from their phone so I can have it on my 935U flashed phone without sprints bloatware

Really? All these rooted people and can't pull an apk from their phone? C mon root people, help ya brother out

I would love the stock Sprint S7 VVM APK to install on my SM-G935U as well (I'm using Sprint service on Ting at the moment). I would like to add that it doesn't take a rooted phone to pull an APK. I do it all of the time using File Explorer without root.

There are apk files available for that app but the problem is unless you successfully root and change the build prop file to the correct settings, the visual voicemail app won't register correctly/work. Do a search for visual voicemail in the 930u firmware thread and start reading.

That explains my problems. I have snagged a couple of versions of the APK, some are the latest from my legit Sprint S5, and they don't seem to register properly. In fact, in the process I learned about another "bug" bothering folks with unlocked S7s. There is a rogue "2 messages pending delivery" or some similar message. It is related to the Sprint VVM apk installed on the G935U. When I install the Sprint VVM apk, that message stops being displayed randomly.
I used to root all of my phones and run other ROMs. I got tired of the churn so I'm running strictly stock ROMs now. I don't want to root just for VVM. This is a lame issue, but at least I understand the limitation now. Thanks for the background. Now I know to give up on Sprint VVM with the SM-G935U.

[APP][Sprint] Sprint Visual Voicemail (VVM)

This is a flashable .zip of the stock Sprint Visual Voicemail. This is for you to flash if you are running a custom rom, such as AOSP/CM, which do not have a voicemail application.

Presumably this wouldn't work on my pixel, eh?

Would it work for a sense based Rom?

Sprint VVM on Note 4 with Resurrection Remix 6.2.1
Been trying for months to get this to work and this zip was the solution!
1. Install above SprintVVM.zip from above and was able to provision and receive VM.
2. Downloaded/Install Sprintvvm T.9.0.3.12 (latest to date) and it updated the above!
Very excited for anyone else trying to get Sprint VVM working on Aosp.

have flashed this twice, doesn't show up in app tray. what am i missing?
UPDATE: never mind, realized i could just install from Google Play, this zip doesn't seem to be necessary.

[STOCK][Request][APK] Does anyone have the device unlock apk for the MetroPCS XT1765?

Actually, it didn't lol. I wound up flashing back to stock, and wouldn't ya know it, it STILL didn't work, lol. Metro confirmed their app doesn't work right on this variant, so they just did it from their end.

I fixed it, but how do you find out if you have a Qualcomm or Mediatek?

Would help to know what service you're on and your model number.
I have MetroPCS and the xt1765 variant which is Qualcomm.
I don't personally know enough to tell you which one you have but if you post those two things someone here could answer you.
Or use an app like cpu-z to check for yourself.
https://m.apkpure.com/cpu-z/com.cpuid.cpu_z
BTW now that you fixed your boot loop issue did you ever get your custom rom working? Very important to know which version you have before you start flashing ****.
I'm surprised you got twrp working without knowing which one you have....
If you got TWRP from the official app I think your on Mediatek because as far as I know that's the only variant with an official TWRP.
Don't take my word for it though....
Make sure and then double check before you continue.
Best of luck

Sorry for not responding. I was having log in problems with XDA. Anyways, my provider is Sprint and my model number is XT1766 QUALCOMM. Turns out I was using some other Moto e4 custom ROM that could've bricked my phone. I used a different custom ROM called LineageOS and it actually works. It upgraded my Android version from 7.1.1 to 7.1.2.
=========================
I got TWRP from just making a simple Google search.
Version is 3.2.3 r1 perry edition.
I've had rooting problems with my firmware ROM.
Everytime I download SUPERSU, the installation goes completely fine with TWRP recovery. When I reboot my phone twice, SuperSU starts to glitch and keeps on granting permission from apps that didn't even ask for one. I just fixed it by installing new custom ROM. It fixed MAGISK error 1 and stop the bug with SuperSU. Everything is going fine. I love it. Also, thanks for your support, I appreciate it.

SuperSU will never work with the stock ROM because of the f2fs loopback bug. Unless you know how to patch the boot image to fix the bug and rebuild it yourself.

Glad you got everything working, I had troubles installing Xposed on stock for the same reason. I ended up settling on Resurrection Remix which is very stable and everything works except for voicemail notifications..... Which I'm not 100% sure is even due to RR. I had to pay $5 a month on metropcs to enable call forwarding to enable youmail which is so far an excellent 3rd party vmail replacement. Small price to pay considering everything else is exactly how I want it. Hope you get your phone exactly how you want it as well
