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

I had this update too and now my phone is stuck in TWRP. :crying:
If anyone knows a solution, please help!!!
I Don't want to reinstall everything with sideload or other because then I probably loose all the data on it

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.

In order to use the stock update utility, you must first flash the stock recovery back in place. Since you are unlocked and have flashed TWRP, it's pretty easy to do.... Then reflash TWRP recovery back in place when done.

I mean if you followed the instructions you would not have been stuck.
The whole reason to return to stock is to take the OTA updates

Done and done. next time ill follow your guide, but like i said it wouldn't have helped me in the situation i was in.

can you tell me how please? I am stuck at the logo and I am a complete noob and can't get my phone back up

Nougat is here for Verizon devices!

I look at my system updates, and I see this! I couldn't believe it! Nougat is finally here!

Just checked and received it as well!

Has somebody captured the OTA file?

Can we root the android nougat?

I had Verizon before. They are known for doing updates late and completely messed up. At least they aren't late this time. I'm just miffed that they dropped it before RETUS.

I had every intention to but I was so excited that I forgot before I updated. If no one else does and I can find a stock file to go back to MM, I will try.

On Verizon no. And probably never will be able to.

You do not need root to read most system files.
It used to be in /cache but deletes itself after the flash.

I know. Since I flashed it, I couldn't pull the ota through logcat.

My update is having issues. Tried a handful of times and would get "update could not be verified" or something similar after the download would complete update. When it doesn't fail verification, the install fails after rebooting. wtf, I have tried the VZW/Moto software update program but it returns that I have the latest software. Guess that channel might not be updated yet.

What is the issue with the Verizon variant for root? I am willing to commit a good tip for a verifyable process to anyone that can do it in a reasonable timeframe. Anyone else willing to donate to the cause?

The bootloader can't be unlocked.

The device is official VZW. I also have the " device has failed verification" warning on start-up. I'm sure that's not helping things either...

Can you extract it somehow? Mac or PC?

Could someone with VS9951AA confirm that it has no Anti-Rollback

Long overdue for an update but want to make sure before going ahead,

Don't guess the kdz helps with the camera issues does it?
I feel stupid being the only one (maybe) having issues with reStock and camera, maybe I should try a clean install [again]?

I don't know but it probably doesn't help. I had one other report of an issue, not sure if it's the same but similar at least. As with any issue I always recommend a clean install, making sure to wipe everything but storage in TWRP.

Noob question: how would i know if my lg v20 f800l on official oreo firmware has anti rollback feature?
I want to downgrade back to nougat and rppt my phone.

Upgrading from 11.0.4.4.IN11AA to OnePlus8ProOxygen_15.O.13_GLO_013_2004111441 Safe???

Is it safe to upgrade directly from 11.0.4.4.IN11AA to OnePlus8ProOxygen_15.O.13_GLO_013_2004111441 ?
OTA didn't work. I didn't have time to keep up with this crap. I'm about ready to change brands again because one plus just failed and moved on the the nine. So, I'm stuck with a phone that cannot download updates and now I have to sit around and figure out how to make my phone work. Can I just update this or do I need to follow some crazy method? I can't find any clear answers. Thank you
