yes you can.. but after updating you have to apply root (and hosts file) again..

Yes (forgot the LG prefix) and LGFOTA.odex.
What you COULD do is rename the .apk to .bak and then you could reverse later if you change your mind.

Not true, I remove dozens of stock app files..
You need a decent file manager and enable root r/w access. Then you can do whatever you want.
I use File Manager (Explorer) from Play store, others prefer ES File explorer.

You sure you're rooted? Does SU or SuperU ask for root permission for Term?
I am still getting a notification to install the ota update. I have removed the files but only after the update had already downloaded but not applied. Any ideas of how I can get this to stop asking me to apply the update?

So this morning I received a notification about a new security update for 5.1 with patches up to march 2016.
Pretty impressive that Moto still pushed this out for a phone launched in 2013
so how can I get this on my rooted xt1033??

I think to get OTAs you need unmodified system partition.
My XT1033 is rooted and I still got the update notification, though I haven't updated yet.
Will it remove root access?

With Root-access file explorer, browse to /cache and the OTA zip should be obvious. Copy / move to /SDCARD. Do this after accepting download but prior to flashing it.

hey, r u on Brazilian firmware?
um on indian firmware, rooted didn't get any notification.
if anyone share captured ota file of xt1033 (dual,Indian) it'll be appreciated.
Yes, I'm on brazilian firmware.
I've attached the update file here.
Just applied the update, phone still rooted. Didn't see anything different yet.

It's only a security update, with the majority of changes being related to files in /system/lib. On the surface, Android will be no different at all.
please post for asia firmware
Here's the US version attached.
My system version is reported as 221.21.58.falcon_umts.AWSRetail.en.US, but when I try to install the Moto update from TeamWin, it tells me that the package expects .../falcon_umts:5.1/LPBS23 etc../release keys and that I have .../falcon_umts:4.4.3/KBX21.14 etc../release keys.
Any idea?
I had a problem installing this security update.
I made a thread about my issue in Q&A here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/moto-g/help/stuck-motorola-bootlogo-security-update-t3364145

It's mostly the recent stagefright patches + other security stuff it seems
This update broke my gf's system, she was running the brazilian 5.1, rooted with TWRP recovery installed.
Don't install this unless you flash stock recovery again and unroot, or flash the full firmware again, then apply OTAS, then root and install your custom recovery. (as usual with any OTA on a rooted system).
So good that Motorola had supported our phone for 2 years, could'nt be more satisfied.

You broke your gf system, by updating without firstly restoring everything to stock, next time think before acting
will optimised stock rom's recieve this update?
Hey I asked a simliar Q before, but wanted to make sure of something. Im rooted on H918 10D and have unchecked 'Automatic system updates' in developer options. Is this enough to stop the 10i update or does this only apply to Android 7.0?
Ive already read flashing the 10i via TWRP or LG Bridge will kill the current root exploit.
My fear is losing root without my choosing.
You could freeze both update apks with titanium that would keep update from running at all.

You should be root to erase the file from data. And turn off automatic updating to avoid unnecessary downloads.
